An incident illustrating one phase of the ‘-kill or cure”’ doctriae occurred in Nevada lat week. Some Indians killed erne of their most eminent medicine men because he failed to cure a patient. It seems that few of the so-called friends of American labor are disposed to cen sure the President for having retained Mr. Arthur’s French cook. Whenever the American cooks begin to demand pro tection the labor agitators will probably retire from the field. Now they sav that Klaine is going to aak President Cleveland to dine with him shortly. It is to be hoped that he will remember on the occasion the “era of good feeling*’ that has dawnel on the country, and r.ot let his servants forget and set out that uish of crow which he Is accustomed to. According to the Chattanooga I imes, there is now no doubt that Col. E. W. t oie’a scheme to build a railroad up Look out Mcuntafa has collapsed.

It is still predicted in some quarters that the next Congress will transter the Pension Bureau from the Interior to the War Department, it being contended that it naturally belongs to the latter. From the amount of fraud that has been penetrated in connection with pensions. It would seem to be a good Ulea to have the Bureau transferred to the Depart ment of Justice. N -.t V rt people are wondering whether they hare a cholera ship in their harbor. The bark Adel Obrig arrived at New York from Calcutta on Sunday. When a few dav s out she lost four of her crew from a mysterious disease, which carried off its - ■ leriul rapidity. The symptoms resembled those of cholera, but the Captain of the vessel does not think it was that disease. Hon. \\ ill tain R. Morrison has the Strong* -t confidence that he will be elected senator from Illinois, lie thinks that he can distance cx-Senator Logau when the voting begins in earnest. A few days ago Mr. Morrison fixed on to-day as the day on waii'h he would he elected. It will not be tong to wait in order to determiro whether Mr. Morrison is as g J a prophet as he is a tariff reformer. T.>e fisherman ot Atlantic City, New Jcr-'y. have <|uit throwing away the flesh ot the porpiises they eateli, or selling il to the fertilizer men.

The por poises are caught in seines about a mile |aai, ami from sto Id fathoms deep. The company enquired in the business are said to l<e making money at it. Tao ladies of Washington 't erritory do not appear to lie very grateful to their male friends who wa ;ed the successful war in !av *r of female suffrage, some ladies who were drawn lor jury service at Port Townsend, last week. * ruellv up braided .Judge Kuhn, who is $ prominent citizen and meni!cr ot the National Democrat i- ticket, for bavin;; helped to get them in the scrajie t>\ advocating their cause. The Judge is said to have treated them very cruelly—he wouldn’t quarrel back, or promise to undo what had been done. It is contended by the siste -s of Lady iKirham that she was not so much of a “silent, shy divinity,” as Lord Durham said she was before marriage, but that she was sprightly and lively enough. The change iu her spirits and manners came on her s- ;ae r.< Ws aft-T her marriage. It !• more than probable that her apparent insanity was the result more of disease than domestic unhappiness. From the nature of the suit brought for divorce by Lord Durham, however, he does not seem thave teen the man to make a woman happy- However well supplied with rivers the great West may be, the railroad compa nies do not pay much regard to these nat ural channels of travel. An exchange says: Western rivi-rs are fast passing out of use as highways tor transportation. Railroads have tak-n the business Irom them. Thirty years ago St. i/iuis bad 60 large steamers in the Cincinnati and P.tuburg trade, and almost as many be tween that point and Sew Orleans. Now 8C Louis has not a single “packet,’’ and the total arrivals at the levees arc not Otar 40 a week. Some of the Washington correspondents appear to take delight in annoying the department clerks. The Tribune corre spondent a day or two ago said that the first official act of Mr. Higgins, the new appointment clerk of the Treasury De partment, was to rend a requisition to the Stationery Division for 500 discharge blanks. The item, when it appeared in print, sent a cold chill down the backs of the Treasury employes. Higgins appears to be the sort ot a man who would take delight in “bouncing” about 500 o( the T.-easury clerks. Detectives as well as their victims frequently get into amusing predica ments. The other day a hotel thief went to Washington city and registered at the Ebbitt House as Carl Schurz, St. Louis. An enterprising lady newspaper corre spondent soon “caught on” to the signa ture, and sent up her card with intent to procure aa interview with the distin guished Mugwump. In the meantime the thief had left the hotel and the de tectives were on his track. While they were searching his room for clues the lady was shown up, wbeu she was at once arrested as a supposed accomplice. She wa* indignant, but on explaining her miasiou was at once released with an apology fut the very natural mistake. The IVesident Complimented. The President is being complimented in some quarters tor bis firmness in refusing to listen to the demands of the office seekers. The impression is getting abroad that when he announced his purpose to obey in good faith the letter and spirit of the civil service law he meant exactly wuat he said. During the two weeks that he has been President he certainly has not given any one reason to hope that there would be any general removal of Republicans. It may be that he doesn’t want to bring on a debate in the Sen ate with respect to his policy relative to the offices, and hence has determined not to make many nominations as long as that body is in session. If the work of replacing Republicans with Democrats in the South were begun at once there would be devoloped, doubtless, a very strong opposition in the Senate. The Re publicans would talk for the benefit of their party about the tenure-of-offlee act, and while they might not be instrumental in preventing the confirmation of any nomination, they would do their utmost, probably, to make it appear that the Pres ident had violated his pledges with re spect to the civil service. There will not be any removals worth mentioning in the departments at Wash ington except for incompetency or to re duce the force. That point appears to be pretty well settled. The Secietary of State has informed the employes of the State Department that they would not be discharged as long as they attended to their duties faithfully and intelligently. The policy of the Secretary of State is the policy that will be pursued, doubtless, by the heads of all the other departments. The Civil Service Commission is going forward with its work just as if there had been no change in the administra tion. The Commissioners say that they have every reason to think that no per sons will be appointed to the minor places who have not been recommended by the commission. If the idea is once clearly understood that civil service reiorm has come to stay the pressure for clerkships and other mi nor places in the departments will soon cease, and the government employes will tie as loyal to one administration as to an other. Men of talent, character and edu cation will seek employment under the government because they will feel that as long as they are deserving they will not lie in danger of losing their places. The public busiuess will be attended to by trained officials, and hence, will be done iletter and at much less expense than where the force is changed with every administration. There are no particular reasous, how ever, why those who hold Presidential offices—that is, offices that are of so much imrortanoe that they are tilled by the President—should be retained when there is a change in the administration, even though they may be thoroughly well fitted for their places. The most of them, at best, are mere figure heads, and their removal at any time would not seriously interfere with the public business. Notwithstanding the effort that is being made to secure the reappointment of Postmaster Pearson, of New York, there isn’t much reason to doubt that a Demo crat will succeed him, and that Demo ocrats will succeed Republicans in all the important offices as rapidly as the terms of Republican officials expire. Toe matter that is of the greatest in terest just now, however, is whether Re publicans will lie removed before their terms expire. It is pretty safe to assume that they will, and that the work of mak ing the changes will be begun pretty soon after the Senate adjourns. What Colored Men are Thinking. There are indications cropping out that leading colored men at Washington and in various parts of the country are begin ning to think that the transfer of the gov ernment to the control of the Democratic party may be a good thing for them. When the Democratic victory was first announced a great many colored people were apprehensive that their rights would, in some way. be interfered with, and when they saw there was no cause for alarm they felt confident that those of them who were in the public service would be dismissed as soon as President Cleveland was inaugurated. The inau gural address and the attitude of the ad ministration convinced them, however, that tbeirrights were just as sale in Demo cratic as in Republican hands, and that they will get about as much in the way of offices from the present administration as they would have got from the Republicans if Blaine had iieon elected. It is not to Ik? expected that much pa tronage will be distributed among them, because very few of them have allied themselves with the Democratic party, but they would not have got much if Blaine bad been elected. The Republi cans have always felt so sure of the ne gro vote that they reserved the offices for the white party workers. With a very few exceptions the colored people receiv ed only insignificant places. The Demo crats will not disturb, probably, the col ored men who hold small places in the government service. They may even give places to a few more colored men. If a considerable portion ot the colored peo ple had acted with the Democratic party they would doubtless be treated with pro per consideration in the matter of offices. Many of the ablest colored men, it is believed, recognize the fact that the col ored people have made a mistake in unit ing themselves so generally with the R •publican party. It would not le at nil surprising, therefore, if Within the next year or two a very large portion of the colored people should determine to act with the Democratic party. It is pretty certain that in the next national contest the negro vote will not be entirely con trolled by the Republican party. The Fvt raviiftancc of Congress. It wouldn’t be out of place for Congress to introduce a little reform into its ex penditures. Its employes are paid more liberally than the employes of any other branch ol the government, and they have much less to do. The clerks get from $-2,000 to $:5,000 each per annum, the mes sengers from $1,440 to SI,BOO, and laborers from $750 to SI,OOO. These salaries wouldn’t i>e so large if it were not for the fact that the most of the employes have work to do for only ten months of the twenty-four lor which they are engaged. In fact they get twenty-five months pay for doing ten months work, because they always get an extra month’s pay. It is probable, however, that there will be greater extravagance before there will be retrenchment. The Senators now have secretaries at the expense of the govern ment, and it will not be at all surprising ir Representatives also insist upon having secretaries. It would be interesting to see a com parison or the expenses of a Congress of the times of Webster, Clay and Calhoun with the expenses of a Congress of the present day. It is probable that a million is spert now where a hundred thousand was spent then. , There is certainly no good reason for giving the employes of a Congress a month’s extra pay. It is estimated that this extra pay for the Congress that has just expired will amount to SIOO,OOO. Such extravagance a half century ago would have aroused indignation throughout the entire country. President Cleveland is having the civil service overhauled to find out the useless employes in order to dispense with their services. Quite a number has already been discharged. The next Congress might tbllow his example with advantage to the country. It is safe to say that 10 per cent, more persons is employed by Congress than there is any need for. The popular craze for building new cities has not yet subsided. The Grand Bend Ileal Estate Company of Chatta nooga has arranged to purchase the cele brated Moccasin Bend, opposite Point Lookout. It is proposed to divide the land, comprising some three square miles, into city lots, to open a canal through the bend and thus secure almost unlimited water power for manufacturing purposes, and to build a grand Union university. It is proposed also to bridge the river and have railroads to run through the bridge, and to do many other wonderful things. Before becoming enthusiastic over this project it will be well for the reader to ascertain how Sheffield is progressing, l Let It Stand on Its Merits. Congress having failed to pass the river and harbor bill, the Represen tatives of the Mississippi river section are divided in opinion with respect to the best course to pursue in continuing the work of improving the river. They held a meeting Monday, and having been in formed of the amount of money available for the river, concluded to ask the Presi dent to so change the membership of the Mississippi River Commission that it would favor Capt. Eads’ plan for improv ing the river. Some of those present indulged in pretty sharp criticisms on the River and Harbor Committee of the last House. They charged that the committee was respon sible for the failure of the river and har bor bill. They further urged that in the future appropriations for the Mississippi river should be made in a separate bill. We are not so much interested in the plan adopted for the improvement of the Mississippi river as we are in having the appropriation for it made in a separate bill. One of the great objections to the river and harbor bill is the large amount which it appropriates. If it were not for the Mississippi river appropriation it would be at least a third less. It is prob able that it would have passed last Con gress if it had not been loaded down with that appropriation. The five-million bill which passed the House was defeated in the Senate simply because Senator Van Wyck insisted, for several hours, on talk ing about the Mississippi river levee sys tem. We have no objection to the improve ment of the Mississippi, but we tlo ob ject to having appropriations for rivers and harbors in this section of the South defeated by the claims of that river. The Mississippi river people themselves * ought to see that their Interest is in the direction of a separate bill. Two small bills are passed much more readily than one large one, although the large one ap propriates no more than the small ones. The Mississippi river appropriation was originally put in the river and harbor bill in order to make that bill help carry it. It needs no such help now. Congress Is committed to the improvement ot the river, and all that is necessary to get an annual appropriation is to keep the ap propriation within reasonable limits. We hope that the Representatives from this State in next Congress will insist that the Mississippi river improvement shall be divoreed from the other public im provements. It is able now to stand on its merits. Water Gas Wins. The fight between the gas companies is ended. We did not expect that it would last long. The people enjoyed it while it lasted, and would have been glad if it had continued a good while longer. Such fights always come to an end too toon for the people. The old company has withdrawn from business, and the new com pany undertakes to supply gas to the city. The price at which it will be sup plied is about as high as it could be rea sonably put, although a great deal tower than gas was supplied before the new company entered the field as a competitor. Will there 1m? complaints about large gas bills and poor gas? This question cannot be answered at present. The first quarter’s bills under the new order of things, however, will be scanned pretty closely, and many of them will be compared, doubtless, with the bills of the company that has retired from business. Advices from Pennsylvania indicate that almost every Democrat in that State is a candidate for some kind ot office. About three-fourths of them want post offices, and the balance will take any thing they can get. W. en the terrible defeat they suffered at the hands of their Republican neighbors last fall is con sidered it is very gratifying to know that not more than one in ten ot them can bo rewarded. CURRENT COMMENT. .Mutual Congratulations. Washington Star (hid.) W lien they met at the White House yester day Sir. Blaine probably congratulated Sir.

In our judgment there is noway in which President Cleveland cm so surely and thor oughly destroy the influence of the Republi can leaders—such men as Blaine, Kvarts. etc.—as by refusing to make removals from office except for cause, and thus establishing a faithful, nonc9t anil nil partisan civil service. By strict justice and fair dealing in this mat ter Mr. Cleveland will rally to Ins support the good elements of both parlies, who will see that lie is President of the whole country, and not merely the head of a section or of a clique of politicians who rule and use the country only for their own seltlsh ends.

In several South American countries it is customary to have those attending the funeral of any prominent citizen sign a testimonial to the worth of the deccsased, or pass a scries of resolutions setting forth his merits and dis tinguished traits.

The subject is then, in sight of the spectators, prepared by having his cars and nostrils filled with wax and his tongue turned black. He is then apparently bnried, creeps through the tunnel and gets away. After six months, or any other inter val, he creeps back again, is dug up appar ently lifeless, and restored with infinite pains. Anew order of physicians in Boston holds that mind has control over matter, and that all diseases will yield to mental force in the physician. It is popularly called the “mind cure,” and marvelous stories are told of the working of this new process in eradicating tho most obstinate diseases. A scientific training is said to be needed for effective work along this line, and its advocates have little sympa thy with Christianity or its supernatural forces. But there is another party who aim to combine science and Christianity, holding that all discißc is unnatnral and tho result of sin. No Christian who alt-, inutile true stand ard of piety need suffer from illness, much less be the victim of painful disease. Boston is wrought up considerably over these mat ters.

The sooner the law recognizes the fact that there are people who, neither lunatics nor idiots, are incompetent to deal unrestrainedly with great incomes the better it will be for them. Gaston Vassy, who had a reputation as the most daring of the Parisian reporters, is dead. Once he personated the Prefect of Police and obtained a story that the people of Paris talked about for weeks. In his later years Vassy was blind, but went about to the thea tres and everywhere else, accompanied by his secretary, who told him how things looked and what was going on, and then Vassy dic tated his reports in his own inimitable style. At the great meetirg on the Place de la Bourse the other day a friend met him. lean ing oa his secretary’s arm. “You would bet ter go home, Vassy," he said, "there may be a riot, and you might be jostled.” “Oh no!” said the blind man, “I mean to stay and see the fun.” And so thoroughly had he become accustomed to seeing with his secretary’s eyes that it is said be never complained ot his ailtictisn. “Them English are havin’ a right smart of a time over there in Africa, haiu’t they?” re marked an old farmer from up in Michigan. “Yes. indeed.” "I’ve been a-watchin’ of ’em all winter, and d’ye know what their cam paign reminds me of?

The Comtcssc dc Castiglione is about to publish her memoirs, notwithstanding the fact that the Empress Eugenie, who. as the wife of Napoleon 111. might well object, is still alive.

After the war he accepted a position as errand boy for a mercantile house in New Orleans. He studied civil engineering and was for a time engaged in a State surveying expedition.

A Beautiful Runaway Pupil from Mary Sharpe College—Determined Love that Defies the Watchfulness of the Teach ers—The Truant Tracked to the Com mercial Hotel in Nashville and Recap tured—The Man She Wants to Marry. Nashville last night witnessed the se quel to a sensational attempt at a runa way match, says the American ot March 16, the plot of which was laid at Winches ter, and whose heroine was a highly re spected and wealthy pupil of Mary Sharpe College. The facts of the affair combine to form quite a romance. About two weeks ago Miss Susie John son was brought to Mary Sharpe by her brother from their home at Cottage (trove, Tenn. Her father, Mr. J. A. Johnson, is an influential planterof that section. The lady was placed in charge of the faculty of the institution with instructions to waste neither money nor care in fitting her for that circle in society to which her native graces and family connections entitle her. She duly matriculated and obtained board at the home of Mr. Hutchins, a prominent resident of Winchester. She was intelli gent, and for 10 days applied herself vig orously to her books with no more ap parent" predilection toward the sterner s.' x than one might naturally attribute to a beautiful miss of 18 summers who had. indeed, known but not over much the fascination of receiving manly admira tion. On last Thursday, however, mat ters assumed a difterent phase, and the fair lady demonstrated that she bad a will of her own that would not ill fit even one of Black’s heroines. On that day Mr. J. N. Engles, who, by the way, bad appeared lit Winchester on the verv day that Miss Johnson was brought’to school, presented to Mr. Hutch ins a letter purporting to be from the father of the lady, in which he was granted full permission to visit her. An interview between the two was granted, for the gentleman was plausible anil bis document apparently genuine, and surely it was thought no harm could come of it. The visit was deemed merely a friendly courtesy on his part,but when he requested a second interview on the same day, Mr. Hutchins had his suspicions aroused and communicated the circumstances to the college faculty. That body agreed with Mr. Hutchins that the solicitude of the gentleman to meet the lady was rather intense for a casual acquaintance ship, and prudently forbade granting his request. The lady seemed to little care that affairs had taken this turn, and it was believed the affair was at an end. Not so, however. Bright and early Eri day morning a billet doux, directed to Miss Johnson, was presented by a sable messenger at the front door of Mr. Hutchins. That gentleman refused to accept or transmit it to bis boarder, and it was re turned to Mr. Engles, who the lad said had sent it. At noon another note came in and met a similar fate. Mr. Hutch ins was now on the alert, and watched every move on the checker-board. The gentle subject at these machinations was then poring over Shelly and Ganot within the walls of Mary Sharpe, but at 5 o’clock she was at leisure, and strolled back to her boarding house. Mr. Hutchins met her at the door, but her lace was so bland and her air so gentle that the faithful guardian was half persuaded that it was all a dream, and no direful love escapade was on foot. The docile mis3 had hardly lain down her satchel of books ’ere an other note from Mr. Engles put in its appearance. She heard ot its presenta tion. but still manifested no chagrin over a failure to read its contents. Mr. Hutch ins at tills point hurriedly laid the fast accumulating facts before the faculty. They were now all deeply anxious and doubly wary. Saturday morning was void of developments. About 0 o’clock the thunder commenced to roll, and the contest between pupil and tutors began in dead earnest. At that hour Mr. Engles went to the couit house and ob tained license to wed the beautiful Susie, lie solicited secrecv, but in vain, and baldly had he put the document in his pocket ere a messenger was dispatched to the college informing the faculty of the fact. A runaway marriage was evidently on toot, l’rofs. A. T. Barrett and J. M. Bledsoe and Mr. Hutchins were appointed a committee of three to foil all plans. Mr. Hutchins kept guard over the lady all the afternoon, but refrained from tell ing her that sue was under surveillance. She then began to manifest uneasiness. About dusk it was discovered that the persistent lover had baffled all eyes, and gotten a note into the hands of liis lady love while on her way to school on that morning. It was surmised that her grow ing nervousness and the license meant ?.n attempt to marry that night. According ly the two professors came over in haste to 31 r. Hutchins and there held a consultation. Tho result was that they secreted themselves in his front yard when darkness had well arrived and awaited developments. About 11 o’clock they came. At that time the streets were deserted, the rattle of approaching wheels was heard, ar.d a hack drove rapidly up to tho pavement and the daring lover alighted. He had made but two or three strides to ward the gate ere the professors pounced upon him. They informed him that his plan was discovered and all was over. He took it like a man, and folding his arms, told the Arguses that he would win in spite of them; turned on his heel, re-entered his carriage and was driven off. The professors then passed into the house, and were escorted by Mr. Hutchins to tiie lady’s room. They knocked, beard a response and entered. The lady was dressed and stood at the window with her bonnet firmly- fastened, and traveling satchel in her hand. At sight of them she shrieked and fainted. Restoratives were applied, and in a few moments she recovered. She grew vio lent. and swore that she was determined to marry tho man that she loved, and 11c power could balk her. Finally she be came quiet. She was told that she must go homo by Prof. Barrett, and that she must he ready to accompany him 011 the 7 o’clock train. She said she would go, and accordingly they reached Nashville at noon yesterday, and went to the Nicholson House. She was given a room and promised to re main there. She then appeared willing to go home, and sorry that she had acted as she did. She ate dinner and went back to her room. At 5 o’clock Prof. Barrett knocked at her door. Hearing no re sponse he entered and found the bird had flown. The following note lay on tho ta ble) I’BOFESSOR--I have gone with one of En gles’ iriemls to Dixon, and perhaps will lie married by the time vou read this. I would not have done it. but under the circumstances I think best if we don’t live together two weeks. 80 vou will please burn this. I am going to dispatch home to papa. Manv thanks to vou for your kindness. You need not go to any more trouble, for ’twill all bo useless. Susie. The Professor was thrown into a fever of excitement and commenced to search. At 10 o’clock he was joined by Mr. J. W, Baldridge, a cousin ot the lady, and to gether they scoured tho city. They hunted everywhere, but in vain, and after midnight retired to their rooms. But all was not ended. About 12:30 o’clock an American reporter, while examining the register of the Uommercial Hotel, noticed the name of “Miss S. Johnson, Carters ville,” on the register. He inquired if she was traveling alone. The clerk replied “yes.” Subsequently he learned that two gentlemen who had registered at the Nicholson had been look ing tor a young lady at another hotel. He put two and two together, andhurried to the Nicholson, awoke the gentlemen, and gave them the clue he had discovered. They were overjoyed, declared that the girl at the Commercial must be the one they wanted, and sallied forth. The reporter accompanied the Professor and h>s almost frenzied companion to the Commercial Hotel, where the trio looked upon the register and there saw recorded in the angular bandwriting that is pecu liar to school girls of this decade: “Miss S. Johnson. Cartersville, Tenn.,” and that room No. 14 had been assigned to her. Mr. Baldridge informed the hotel clerk of the state of affairs and also of his relationship to the young .girl, and asked to be shown to her room at once. The clerk immediately sent the porter with a kev and bad the door opened. A light was burning brightly in the room and the escaped 3liss was lying souud asleep in the bed. Her hair was done up in what seemed to be white papers, which the reporter afterward as r certained were for curling purposes. The Professor touched her and she instantly awaked w ith a start, and half suppressed shriek. A consciousness of her condition dawned at once upon her, and she threw up her arms and exclaimed: “Oh, Lord, I’m found, I’m lound.” She at first re fused to look gt anybody, but. turning her face to the wall, and jerked the cover up over her head and entire body. Mr. Bald ridge persisted in trying to talk to her, and at last, by assuring her that it was not too late to retrace her steps and es cape the terrible future that awaited her If she persisted, got her attention. The Professor and the reporter here left the room, while Mr. Baldridge continued for about fifteen minutes in conversation with the wayward girl, and at last ob tained from her the agreement to dress and leave the hotel with him. The two friends considered that every moment was valuable, as the girl’s lover was expected to arrive at 1 o’clock and meet her at the Commercial Ilotel. This was known from what the clerk told him. He said that she had twice telegraphed Engles to come at once to the Commercial. After some little time Miss Johnson made her appearance. She was a re markably pretty girl, with black hair, dark brown eyes, much swollen from ex cessive weeping, fair complexion and graceful, rather plump figure. She was evidently not more than 18 years old, and seemed to be full of the impulsiveness and ardor that is characteristic ot the age. When she made her appearance, she was dressed very nicely in a brown worsted dress,a gray’closely-fitting cloak, and a hat that sat jauntily back upon her head. Before entering the carriage that bad been summoned she veiled herself closely. The party then proceeded to Gilchrist’s Hotel, where they spent the night. If they succeeded in retaining possession of their fair captive, they will leave at T o’clock this morning for Cottage Glove, where the young lady will be turned over to her parents. It was ascertained that Engles was a young widower who had known the lady for years; and further that this is the second attempt she has made to rnn away, the first being when she was 14 year's of age. TILDEN FAST FAILING. A Republican Humor Says lie I* Strug gling to Retain His Physical rower. New York, March IC.—The resigna tion by Samuel J. Tilden of directorships in three stock companies in which he is a heavy owner, has caused some talk among financiers. He has also been so careful to be a controller of his own in vestments that search has been made for a reason tor the change of policy. The true one undoubtedly is that he can no longer hope to regain sufficient strength tor the slightest activity. For the first time in his life he has spent a winter en tirely away from this city. His sump tuous mansion in Gramercv Park, com plete in ail its decorations and luxurious furniture, even to the paintings on the walls, has no other occu pant than a watchmaft. Tilden has not come down from Grevstone, his country place on the Hudson, since last summer—September—nor has he been aboard his yacht, though it was fitted up in the fall with the ' means of comfort for a cruise which its owner was understood to contemplate. Nobody is nearer to him than John Bigelow, who says: “Mr. Til den was never in greater mental vigor than he is to-day. The best advice which the managers of Mr. Cleveland’s cam paign got in the canvass was from him.” But he would tell nothing concerning Tilden’s physical condition. A man in equally favorable position to know the truth says: “Tilden will never leave Greystone alive. He knows it, and that is the cause of his retirement from the di rectories of railroad companies. His health began to fail alarmingly during bis Presidential campaign of 1876, and he has steadily lost strength. I remember that, on his departure Tor a European trip in the ensuing year, a notable reception was given to him,on which occasion he had to be literally carried into the house where the ceremonies were held. That was his last attempt to make a public speech. He has since attended two meetings, but only as an auditor. He is now helpless to an extent appalling to the very few who get the opportunity to see him. Still, he firm ly believes that he will improve in health —so much so, that I believe he even hopes to be a Presidential candidate in 1888. It was reluctantly that he became convinced of his physical inability to take the nomi nation last summer, and his willingness to be an adviser to President Cleveland is due to an anxiety to contribute to a suc cesstul administration, in order to strengthen the party for bis own ensuing campaign.” Such talk may be purely speculative, but it comes fromasoarce which makes it intere-ting. The more important fact is that Tiiden is very low, and, in spite of any possible expectation of future political activity, is getting his financial allairs in shape for death. gfrott gutrro. f: Wfl || This medicine, combining Iron with pure Vegetable tonics, quickly and completely Cures Dyspepsia, f edifies!lon, Weakness, impure Blood, .tliiliiriu, Chills and Fevers, and Neuralgia.
