MARCH came in with a smile that was childlike and bland, and the balm in her breath was very captivating. She is a frisky old girl, though, and you can't most always tell what she'll do next.

The MsekayeSpectatoriam The novel and colossal enterprise is that which bears the name the "The MacKay Spectatorium" which is being fostered and pushed to completion by The Columbian Celebration Company at Chicago. This comprises the erection of a building of massive proportions and picturesquely interesting design, in which shall be presented the many strange and daring ideas th$t Mr. Steele MacKaye conceived as a part of the essentials for a grand and noble dramatic and lyric pre­ sentation of the great historic discovery which this Exposition is to celebrate. A year ago Mr. McKay explained his ideas to a par*y of Chicago capitalists, among them being Geo, M. Pullman, Lyman J. Gatre, Murry Nelson, Benj. Butterwortb, E. B. Butler, Judge Leroy D Thomas, General A. C. McClurg, Ferd and Clarence Peck, H. E. Bucklen, E. W. Gillette, J. C. Hinkley, H. E. Weaver, and others of like prominence. These men immediately grasped the feasibility of Mr. McKay's plan and saw in it an opportunity to give to the people of Chicago and the world a production that should surpass anything ever attempted and they fur­ nished the capital, about f2,000,000 to carrv these plans to an end. That end is rapidly approaching and within a month the model, which cost $30,000 will be shown to the newspaper men. Those who have seen the model, even in its first stages of development say that the presentment which will be given in "The MacKaye Spectatorium" will sur­ pass every other feature of the Fair both in its colossal proportions and its aston­ ishing audacity. The Clever Lawyer. A gentleman at his decease left to hie three sons his stud of horses, very valua­ ble animals, seventeen in number. The eldest son was to have one-half as bis share; the second son one-third and the third son one-ninth. Now came the prot - lem how to divide this legacy. In the first place, to take the hplf of« sevente»n horses is a difficult matter, for though "half a loaf is better than no bread," still half a horse is little better than no horse at all. Again, a third and a ninth of seventeen are not readily arrived at in the case of horses, which do not go well into frac­ tions, vulgar ^or otherwise. But the clever lawyer, seeing that the matter could be easily arranged if there were eighteen horses, gave a valuable one from his own stable to make up that number, and his three clients overwhelmed him with their gratitude and paid bis bill without question. Without the additional horse the first son could anly have taken 8)i ss his share, and the two others even more mu­ tilated portions, but now--- . The eldest son gets 9 horses The second son gets 6 horses The third sou gets 2 horses Total 17 horses and the astute "limb of the law" gets his horse bawk alter all.--Golden Days. nunda Department.

Three days is a very short time in which to cure a bad cese of rheumatism; but it can be done, if the proper treat- inept is adopted, as will be seen by the following from James Lambert, of New Brunswick, III. "I was badly afflicted with rheumatism in the hips and legs, wben I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain balm. It cured me in three days. I am all right to-day: and would insist on every one who is afflicted with that ter­ rible disease to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm and g*»t well at once." 50 cent bottles for sale by G. W.

Count Edward Romero, one of the wealthiest men in Portugal, recently lost his life through a bet. He had wagered 20,000 francs that he would perform a feat which was carried out by a lady rider at the circus, which con­ sisted in falling head over heels to the ground from the horse while,it walked on its hind legs. The horse, however, fell backward on the count, who died after several hoars of great agony. Not Many Prises Needed.

Blaine. We are pleased to learn that a truly meritorious and reliable life of the Hon^ James G. Blaine is in course of prepara­ tion and will soon be on the market. This work is by the well known journal­ ist, author and traveler, Mr. T. C. Craw- fo d, who was the most intimate literary associate and confidential friend of Mr. Blttiue, having enjoyed his confidence for upwards of tweuty years and been one of his most confidential companions for years past through political campaigns and in bis travels abroad. He is, there­ fore, utidoubtly better fitted to prepare this book than any other author. We understand that Mr. Crawford has been engaged for some months past in the preparation of this work, and the fact that such men as the Hon Levi P. Mor* ton, vice-president of the United States, E. W. Halford, private secretary of Pres. Harrison, Hon. W. E. Curtis, Chief of the American Bureau of Republics, Hon. Chas. Foster, Secretary of the Treasury, Robert P. Porter, Chief of the Census Bureau, Senators Itedfield, Proc­ tor, Shelby, CuHorn, J.R. McPherson, W. P. Frye, J S. Morrill, Mr. Geo. W. Childs, of the Philadelphia Ledger, and Hon. Murat Halstead, of the Brooklyn Stand- a d Union, and many other leading men ot the nation and colleagues of Mr. Blaine, have endorsed Mr. Crawford as the best fitted man to prepare an able and authentic biography of Mr. Blaine, and we have no doubt but that his book will take rank as the stauaard life oi the greatest statesman our country has pro­ duced. James G. Blaine was not only the idol of 60 million people and the giant of American statesmanship, but he was above all other men the defendent of American honor and institutions, with "the pen mighter than the sword." He was a matchless orator, upon whose eloquent tongue our national congress hung for thirty years enrapt, and whose "very public utterance the nations of the earth inclined ears to catch. Insumming up his wonderful powers and public services it is but iust to say he was as wise and diplomatic as Benjamin Frank­ lin, as patrotie as) George Washington, as versatile and eloquent as Henry Clay and as profound and powerful as Daniel Webster making him altogether oneof the foremost, if indeed he is not the greatest American who ever lived. He came from the ranks and by dint of hard work and patriotic devotion to his country, he rose from obscurity to the pinacle of fame. Hio uiNi inguished services in bot*< houses of our national congress and in the cabinets of two presidents hew made his name a household word in America aud famous throughout the world, and the reading of his wonderful career will be an inspiration and pleasure to the >1 merican people. There are perhaps half a doseu lives of Blaine being announced, and while it in not onr province to discriminate against one in favor of another, it is our privi- ledge and duty, as a public journal, to warn our patrons against imposition It. has been quite a fashiou with un­ scrupulous publishers, upon the death of any great, man to announce his biog­ raphy and then ha«tly throw together a l<>t of newspaper clippings, very much as thev would make a scrap book, and palm it off on the nn«upecting public as a lile ^f the deceased. Such books are not biographic and are practically worth less Mr Rlaine wa» a man of so much nrominance that, his life will and should h-ive an enormous sale and our people should see to it, tha* any biography thev buv of him shall He bv a competent author and nroperlv endorsed.
