SOMEWHAT REMARKABLE. v- In Mr. Blaine's answer to the ins terrogatories of the Indianapolis Sen tinel publishers, in the libel ' Case, he says, in reply to the question about his child's tombstone, that he had hot seen the stone since the first of July, since when it has been r defaced - by ' erasure of certain figures and letter-. ing, but intimates that it was done at the suggestion of the New Age, a Democratic" newspaper published in Augusta, Maine. It is-somewhat re markable that a man "who professed to be so horribly shocked at the van dalism on : his child's tombstone, would not go DO the cemetery in the same city in which he resides, and see for himself whether the vandal ism haA rpnllv Tvati rnmnaitfAH rr nnt ana not srusx to reports ux torm an opinion which he was to back with his oath. . He swears that he believes so and so when he does not reallyknow of his own knowledge that the child's tombstona has been defaced." "One would naturally suppose that a father would take interest enough in a mat ter of that kind to go look at the . scone, even u he Jtad -no . swearing to do about it afterwards, . - ' ' . Another remarkable answer is that to the question of the place and time . of bis marriage in the life of James Q. Blaine, published this year by K , C.

Sept." 21. There is an impression prevalent m wen in formed circles this, p. m. that the ap pointment of the Secretary "of the Treasury may be delayed for several days yet, based on the theory that the office has been tended to some gentles man who has asked for time toj con sider it.
