On the stipulated days a gentleman of social standing such as permitted tho confidence of the aged statesman received from his usd nanus the missive, with the injunction to surrender it only to the fair consignee psrsonsllyr.

If Miss Stauffer was not at home, he wonld call again when ahe was. Often, on returning to Grameroy Park or Grey- stone, he carried to the Democratic asge a uyetcriona reply to him letter of friendship. No better illustration of the influence that the Southern Uauty excited over Mr. Ttl- den can b* given than an episode which oo- cuned during her visit et Ureyetone thru years ago. Incidentally, perhaps, ahe relat ed to Mr. Tilden the meianeboly history c f one of her schoolmates, whose father lost his fortune by the war, and with it vanished the social prestige of hie daughter.
