Judge Jaines Grant, of Iowa, was a visitor at the National Democratic Committee's Headquarters today. Ho spoke enthusiastically of the situation in the West, and said that the Demo crats) in California are working the Chinese question with great effect. Judge Grant said that tne people of Iowa arc for tariff reform. The internal dissensions at Repub lican headquarters have become very bitter. ; It is all caused by Blaine, hiB schemes and the ambition of his per sonal friends whom he is backing. &oureVlrg"riatiy" bothered. It seems that' Mr. Blaice has offered to speak all over the country and de mands i hat he shall be sent to the Western Sta'es. The Western mem bers of the National Committee from Iowa,; Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan say they won't have him because there is a pronounced senti ment for tariff reform in their Statep. There is iu objection, moreover, in the mindsi of many Republican Na tional Committee members to Blaine's going to Indiana They eay that if tbis is done it wui ouscure tiarrison, and that he is far f torn being a prom inent figure iu the canvass. When Mr. Blaine wa here he stafed that the. letter brought to him from Har rison by the latter'8 partner, W. H. H. Miller?, contained an invitation to him to come to Indiarja. Possibly General Harrison does not appreciate the position he would bs placed in I should Blaine accept the invitation But nis friends here do, ana come wnat maj they arc detoi mined to pre vent Blaine from going to that Stale this, fall; The situatiou ia getting worso and worse ; every day, and the breaches in the Republican ranks have apparently become so wide that they cannot be bridged. to !Uesei there volumes in the jlufceurn,j an ; inst it founder.

Mr. Blaine may be regarded as an annex to the Democratic campaign committee sometimes suggestive himself, sometimes suggestive through others. He may well claim a share in the alliterative glory of the "rum, Romanism and rebellion" of his friend Burchard. HiB follower Boutelle's day-before-yesterday's nomination of him was due to the same magnetic in fluence unsealing the lips and touch ing the tongue to 6 ay the thing that should not have been said. But the bifurcated Blaine sometimes makes such mistakes in propria persona. This he did yesterday in his Portland speecn, wneu ne exmoited nimsen as standing, Janus-like, between tuists and workingmen, honesty anddis houesty. Senator Reagan, today, on the promised tariff bill, took for the text of a portion of his speech the re marks referred to. Senator Blair questioned the correctness of the re port of Mr Blaine as read by Mr. Iteagan and appealed to that of the New Tork Tribune: "I shall not discuss trusts this afternoon. I shall not venture to say that they are alto gether advantageous or disadvantage ous." This is the organ's report of the orator's speech. It is the posi tion in which Mr. Blaine places him- mind, and upon which Republican Senators and members have spoken in no equivocal language. Mr. Blaine's remarks require no commentary.

There; was a big breaking-out of the Dembcratic epidemic at Mlllbrook yesterday, and the contagion is sure to spread and grow until November frostp, wfhen it will carry everything before it. Early yesterday morning the sturjdy Democracy of that ;com munity commenced to assemble, their special business being to hear good governmental doctrine expounded by eloquent? speakers, and to "make way'' with a ichoice . barbecue, tp which a genera! invitation had been given by the You ig Men's Democratic Club of Millbrodk. The speakers for thtj day were M p. J. D, Boushall, of this city. Mr. J. C. Caddell, of Wake Fbrest, and Mr,! E. C- Beddingfield, of Mill brook, Democratic nominee for the House of Representatives from Wake county. 1 Vehicles rolled into the beautiful little hamlet until about II o'clock. At 11 30iMr. Geo. Norwood mounted the stand and gracefully introduc.d Mr. Bousha 1 to the assembly, among which were about fifty young ladiee. who " were lookers on iu Venice," and who inspired everything that' was done diiring the day. tThe young ladies aie all good Democrats). Mr. Boushall's clear, ringing voico,'as it fell, fraught with oonjiotingjft; every fhearer was a Democrat in gciofl standing, aud .if : any body ; had ever been any thing else, that "body" was sorry for it. Thi three quarters of an hour he spoke was all too short, bu'. the tempting aroma of savory barbecue cut him short. He came down from the stand and led the crowd to the long table loaded with well every body knows a barbecue- and this was one of the choiet. After the inner man could possibly crave nothing else, the crowd re assembled, and lis tened with enthusiastic pleasure to Mr. J. C Caddell, ;of W ake Forest He is one of the best and most forci ble speakers in the county; always totes "fair and Equaro" and therefore never fails to make people ashamed of any .Republican kinfolk thety may have. After him, Mr. Beddingueia He won favor and the people were proud of and happily satisfied with their vigorous young candidate ior the House. Altogether it was 'a field day for Democracy.

That she lives in Boston is humorously at tested Ijy Arlo Bates, who. writing from that city to the Providence Journal, sayt-: She went into a big dry goods house the other day to buy material for a gown. She selected, after a good deal of fuss ng, a gingham cost ing 12 cents a yard. "How many yards are there in this piece t" she asked. "There are eleven," the clerk answered, after counting. "I will take ten," she said. He suggested that she take the whole piece, but she insisted that he should cut off ten yards, aud this was accordingly done. "That is a remnant, I suppose T" he said interrogatively, taking up the odd yard as he folded the goods. "Yes, ma'am "' ' You sell remnants cheaper, don't you t" "Sometime." the clerk said iionically. "What will you take for this "Twelve cents." "But that was just what I paid for the piece." ' Yes. but I haven't any authority to mirk goods down." "Couldn't you semi the cash boy to find the man that does mark them down, so as to see what he would take T" the customer asked anxiously. "Just now." the clerk replied, "he is at his dinner, and I don't think he'll bo in today." "And you couldn't mark it down yourself and tell him about it?" -No." the clerk said, smiling aggravatingly, "I couldn't, really." "Well." the woman said, with a sigh, "then I am dreadful sorry I had it cut. for I'll nave to have that yard anywaj. even if I do have to pay 12 cents for it Ten yards wouldn't possibly do. But I ain't used to paying full price for. remnants." A Tragedy In lllloola. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Ottowa, Aug, 18. There was a terrible tragedy at Prairie Center yes terday..
