Tilden ami His Defamers.
We copy the following paragraph from
an editorial article in the St. Louis Repub
lican, headed “Mr. Tilden and His Detain
ers“lt is not certain that Mr. Tilden
will be the nominee for President of the
Democratic party in 1880. Nothing is cer
tain in politics, and the choice of a conven
tion is harder to foretell than a jury's ver
dict. But, whatever may be his fate, no
public personage has ever borne himself
through a trying ordeal with more true dig
nity and noble composure. The course
pursued toward Mr. Tilden by his politi
cal enemies and a porlion of the Republi
can press has been simply infamous. He
has not only been pursued by misrepresen
tation and falsehood as to his public career
but by the most petty and contemptible
assaults on his personal character and pri
vate life. If thore is a man in the great
State of New York who has passed his life
in tho very eye of the public, it is Samuel
J. Tilden, throuhout a long and successful
professional and political career. Under
the fierce light that beats on public station
and‘blackens every blot’nearly every event
of his life has transpired. He was elected
Governor over the most popular candidate
his opponents could put forward and dis
played in office an ability and intrepidity of
character that made his administration the
most destructive to abuses and the most
beneficient to the people in the history of
the State of New York. All the facts are
forgotten and ignored, and because a ma
jority of his countrymen desire him for
the highest station, to which ho was elect
and only prevented from holding office by
conspiracy and fraud, he is made the tar
get for vile partisans and traducers. When
a man runs for office he may expect to be
abuKO.l, but in this case wo have a system
atic misrepresentation extending over
years, and aimed to destroy a possible can
didate because of his availability- Such a
thing is a national disgrace, and illustrates
the animus of a party whose only bond of
cohesion is lust for office, and which would
willingly surrender the fame and honor of
their country to secure a transient success.”
Good Teinix'r.
Good temper is the sunshine of the do
mestic circle, and must he prized and cul
tivated accordingly. Fretfulness, peev
ishness, Bullenness, bitterness and anger
must be viewed as so many hissing snakeß
and driven from every heart that claims
the distictions of being happy. When
tempted to give away to any ill feelings,
self-restraint must be exercised, and mu
tual forbearance shown. Much will be ac
complished by carrying out the determi
nations that both shall nover lose their
temper at the same time—the one bring
ing water where the other brings fire.
“Let them treat each other’s feelings," it
has been well said, “with lenity, and learn
to be, as occasion serves, blind, deaf and
dumb—especially dumb. Not sullenly
dumb, but serenely dumb. Not silent
from moodishness and passion, but silent
from reason and affection, looking out the
while like a mariner in a dark night for
the first streks of the dawn, and hailing it
with a grateful welcome.” A gentle con
trast, well arranged diversity, gives a rel
ish to married life. It is the necessay con
dition, however, of such a diversity that
the parties should view things occasional
frorn a different point of view, and wis
dom will be required, therefore, by mutu
al concessions, gentleness, good humor,
and forbearance, to prevent such diversi
ties jof taste, or opinton becoming the
source of quarrel and irritation, or, to use
a phrase of modem coinag, “Haggle." A
clergyman who had tied the marriage knot
for many a couple, was careful always to
whisper to the bride, as his parting coun
sel,. “Be sure nover to have the last word!”
—an advice which is excellent, but which
is surpassed by the recommendation that
neither party should take the first one.
Home Politeness.— A boy who is polito
to his father and mother is likely to be po
lite to every one else. A boy lacking po
liteness to his parents may have the sem
blance of courtesy in society, hut is never
truly polite in spirit, and is in danger, as
he becomes familiar, of betraying his real
want of courtesy. We are all in danger of
living too much for the outside world, for
the impression which we make in society,
covetting the good opinions of those who
are in a sense a part of and who
will continue to sustain and be interested
in us notwithstanding these defects of de
portment and character. We say to every
boy and to every girl, cultivate the art of
courtesy and propriety at- home—in the
sitting room and the kitchen, as well as in
the parlor, and you will be sure in other
places to deport yourself in a becoming
and attractive manner. When one has a
pleasant smile and graceful demeanor, it
is a satisfaction to know that these are not
put on, but that they belong to the charac
ter, and are manifest at all times and un
der all circumßtancea.
An observant critic says that there are
three conspicuous drawbacks to female
beauty in Baris. First a tendency to obesi
ty; second, large and crooked noses; and
third, worst, and last, tufts and patches of
hair on the face. Beard, more or less, still
clings to a certain proportion of French
women, chin whiskers, black in youth and
gray in age, are very frequent; stray tufts
of hair are common located somewhere be
tween the temples and the jaws. A prom
inent, gay, transient, and distinguished
member, resident in the ephermeral world
of the deimonde, having a large and not
altogether unbecoming hirsuit constituen
cy on the upper lip, made for the season,
the feminine moustache when properly lo
cated in its proper place, fashionable.
Beauties cultivate them, even shaved. But
the appendage could not fix for itself a
place.
Among tho many things to make a fol
low feel bad in this world, one is to have a
flatnesed, freckled little man come in and
take your seat by the side of a nice girl in
a horse car, while you are making change
and putting her fare in the box. Of coures
you can take him by the collar and roll
him in the sawdust, but the comfortable
feeling has got away from you and will
not return during the trip.

member if you are strictly honest and eco

a few shillings extra per month. New cook:
“Thank yon, ma’am; I will think it over
and let you know in the evening.”

An Engineer’s Need of Nerve.
Unquestionably- the bravest men i.n
America are those who stand upon the
foot-boards of the locomotives which draw
the fast express trains. But few persons
are aware of it, but on the leading railways
where connections must be made if possi
ble, only engineers known to be brave and
daring are given engines on express trains
and as soon as the engineer shows the least
timidity about running fast, he is taken
from his engine and given one on a freight
train to run. Two such cases have occur
red recently on Indianapolis roads. Rail
road officers state that the first sign that
an engineer is becoming timid is that he
will be five or ten minutes late possibly a
half an hour, for some days or nights in
succession. He is then called to an ac
count, and unless his reasons are convinc
ing, another engineer is given his engine
to run for a few times, and should he bring
the train promptly on timethefirst-named
engineer gets a freight train engine to run
until he braces up. It is stated, however,
that after an engineer allows his timidity
to get a fair hold, he seldom so far over
comes it as to have the bravery to step on
an express train engine and run it at the
speed necessary to make the time. Quite
recently, an engineer on one of the roads
running west from here, got an imprssion
that some accident was to happen to him,
and one night when running a fast express
he constantly lost time. At the first sta
tion when the train stopped,the conductor
berated him for running so slow. The en
gineer actually shed tears, and owned that
fear had overcome him, and that he dare
not run fast, and at his own requsst an en
gineer of a freight which stood at this
meeting point was given the train to run
through that night, the conductor tele
graphed the train-master, asking that tho
request be granted. The timid engineer
has since run a freight train on tho road.

The Friuie of Life.
Between the ages of 45 and 60 a man who'
haw properly regulated himself may be con--
sidered in the prime of life. Hie matured
strength of constitution renders him al
most impervious to an attack of disease,
and experience has given soundness to his
judgment. His mind is resolute, firm and
equal; all his functions are in the highest
order; he assumes mastery over his busi
ness; builds up competence on the found
ation he has laid in early manhood, and
passes through a period of life attended
by many gratifications. Having gone a
year or two over he arrives at a standstill.
But athwart this is the viaduct oalled the
turn of life, which, if crossed in safety,
leads to the valley of “old age,” round
which the river winds, and then beyond,
without boat or causeway, to effieet his pas
sage. The bridge is, however, construct
ed of fragile material, and it depends how
it is trodden whether it bond or break.
Gout and apoplexy are also in the vicini
ty to waylay the traveler, and thrust him
from the pass, but let him gird up his loins
and provide himself with a fitter staff, and
he may trudge on In safety and with per
fect composure. To quit metaphor, “the
turn of life” is a turn into a prolonged
walk or into the grave. The system and
power having reached the utmost expan
sion now begin either to close like a flow
er at sunset or break down at once. One
judicious stimulant, a single fatal excite
ment may force it beyond its strength while
a careful supply of props and the with
drawal of all that tends to force a plant
will sustain it in beauty and vigor until
night has entirely set in.
Love of Home.. —A man who is not asham
ed of himself need not be ashamed of his
early condition. It happened to me to be
born in n log cabin, raised among the snow
drifts of New Hamshire, at a period so ear
ly that when the smoke first rose from its
rude chimney and curled over the frozen
hill, there was no similar evidence of a
white man’s habitation between it and the
settlements on the rivers of Canada. Its
remains still exist; I make it an annual vis
it; I carry my children to it to teach them
the hardships endured by the generations
which have gone before them. I love to
dwell on the tender recollections tho kind-"
red ties, the early affections, and tho nar
rations and incidents which might mingle
with all I know of this primitive family
abode. I weep to think that none of those
who inhabited it are now among the liv
ing; and if ever I fail in affectionate ven
eration for him who raised it and defend
ed it against savage violence and destruc
tion, cherished all the domestic virtues be
neath its roof, and though the first .and
blood of seven years’ revolutionary war
shruk from no toil to raise his children to
a condition better than his own, may my
name and the name of my prosperity be
blotted forever from the memory of man
kind.—Daniel Webster.
Judge Gaines was on the bench in tho
court at Bonham, Tex., on last Saturday.
J. M. Steele was asked if he had anything
to say why sentence should not be pro
nounced upon him for assaulting a man
with intent to murder. “Yes,” said Steele;
“my ancestors were gentlemen, I am a gen
tleman, and I did nothing but what any
gentleman would have done under the cir
cumstances.” Steele kept on in this stylo
until His Honor said abruptly: “Shut up!
I sentence J. M. Steele to seven years.”
Steele made violent interruption with his
fist on the table. “In all my experience,”
continued the Judge, “nothing ever gave
me as much pleasure as sentencing you to
the penitentiary.” “Yes,” retorted Steele,
“and I hope and pray the curses of heav
en may descend upon you, and that you
will be sunk, into the hottest pits of
hell.”
A young lady newspaper correspondent
insisted on interviewing Mr. Tilden. The
good old man was intensely ageeable—in
fact, rather too much so. He wouldn't say
anything of moment, though he talked
fast enough; and he would insist on hold
ing the young lady’s hand from the begin
ning to the close of the interview. Of
course under such circumstances thei e
was no such thing as taking notes, and it
is estimated that the hand was held for
that very reason. But we don’t know. The
young lady was pretty, and it is known
that Uncle Sammy ever held the hand of a
newspaper correspondent .of the other sex
In point of fact, it may be necessary to '
suggest that reform is necessary.
