But that is all taffy. " "Woll , what ails Valentine ? " "Ho is afraid that ho won't got a district made to suit him. If they cut out a district in north Nebraska that Valentino could carry for a nomina tion , it would probably result in the election of a democratic congress' ' man.

The Bamuols' Caatlo , Much interest ia attached to the early homo of the James boys , in Clay county , and the now historic.castle in which their mother resides. Last sum mer a correspondent of ThoKansas City' Journal visited the caatloj and ' described it and its inmates as fol 4 lows : Accepting the invitation as a safe guard against any danger , even though- the ; boys were at homo , I wont out the next day. The road leading to the James * citadel , for it may almost bo called that , it is * up and down hill through a rather rugged country , with scattered woods on cither side , with hero and there an opening for n corn Cold and a hemp patch. The country is well settled , and farm houses are almost in hallooing distance all the way to , . Mr. Samuels' . The house stands near the road in a well-wooded pasture , and just around it there in considerable shrubbery , and a row of lilao bushes to the loft of the building.Dt is a modest throe-room habitationbuilt of logs , but about it and all over the farm there is a look of thrift , good management and comfort. Entering , I was at once recognized by Mrs. Samuels , who busied herself at once to extend cordial hospitality. My visit profited nothing beyond seeing the home of the James boys. Of course we got to talking of a visit paid , hegyon a cold January night by Pin- karton'a detectives , when no lost her right hand. Speaking'of detectives , ahe fairly spat out venom , whenever word detective was used , and her ac count of the dirofuljvisit , when ahe was wounded , and hoi * boy , Andrew , four yean old , was killed , was bitter with denunciation of the cowards who , y made a night attack. She became ex cited , and recited the horrors of the night with vehemence , and she again acted her part in the tragedy. She led your { correspondent back into kit chen or living room in the rear of the houao , into which the ball was thrown. "It waa thrown through the window , " pointing to the ono next to the roar wall , and next to the fire-place , "Wo were all sitting in here , " continued she . , "and when the ball came crash ; through the window wo did not begin tc realize what was the matter. I first noticed the burning ball on the floor. Fearing that it would sot the house on fire , I rushed toward it , and the doctor at the same time , and it was ' kicked into the fire place. Then ' followed a terrible explosion , My boy ( Arthur waa killed and I " Hero the old i lady's feelings over come her at the recollections of that memorable night , but not f6r long , for she broke out in fiery invective against the cowards who did it. " "Thoy were after Frank and Jesse , " she added , but they weren't hero and hadn't ' boon. " Recovering soon , she busied her self about setting dinner , and soon I down to an old fashioned , bounte ous repast , rich in everything that a well conducted farm can givo. Wo talked as wo ate , and mostly about "tho boys , " but nothing beyond the declaration of their innocence , often repeated , could bo got out of the mother of the outlaws. Tbo Sou * of Maine.
