How Tilden Made His Money.
From the Chicago Tribune, July 8.

Samuel j. Tilden, a lawyer by pro-
fession, who began life poor, and who
has never been engaged in any large,
legitimate business transactions, has a
personal fortune which is variOusly es-
timated from three millions to seven
millions of dollars. 1t probably does
not fall short of the former figure, and
before the shrinkage in New York real
estate, consequent upon the pauic, it
may have approximated the larger
amount. 1t is not unnatural, now that
Mr.. Tilden aspires to the Chief Magis-
tracy of the Nation. the people should
be interested in knowing how he
amassed this colossal fortune. In the
case of great merchants like A. Il.
Stewart, or hereditary estates like the
Astors, or confessed railroad jobbers,
like Vanderbilt, it is accumulated 1t
is not so, however, in the case of a
lawyer or other professional man, who
has no money left to him, and enga-
ges in no business. No lawyer, it is
safe to say, since the days of the old
Roman counsel who used to defend the
Colonial Governors and share their
plunder, has ever amasSed by the prac-
tice of his profession, any such amount
of money and property as Samuel j.
Tilden possesses. 1t is not within the
possibilities of the most laboriOus and
most successful career at the bar. Law
yers rarely begin the study of the pro-
fessiOn till they are past twenty -One,
and are not often admitted to practice
before they are twenty-five. Without
some adventitious aids, the first ten or
twelve years of legal practice is a
hard life of study and labor, with few
cases and small recompense. Some
times it happens that family influence
or ad mission to partnership with a
we'll established firm accelerates sue
cess and profit. But Mr.. Tildep had
none of these advantages. AS rule,
a lawyers practice rarely becomes
more than self-supporting before he is
thirty-five or forty years of age, and a
hard working lawyer is pretty well
worn out by fifty.five or sixty, and not
equal or ambitious to measure strength
with the younger men. Successful and
lucrative law practice does not usually
extend over twenty or twenty-five
years. Very many good lawyers in
our large cities are we'll content to
earn from So. 600 to 81 900 year; S10,-

ly lucrative practice; $4,000 year is
an exceptional income from law prac-
tice, and the number of lawyers in this
country who earn more than $50, 900 in
fees may be counted on the fingers of
two hands.
How is it. then, that Mr.. Tilden has
amassed fortune counted by the mill
lious? We have never heard OF any
legacies that were left him. We know
of no silent partnerships that could
have brought him this wealth. lie
has never been ranked among the
great lawyers of the country. The
most conspicuous case with which he
was ever publicly Unidentified was the
scandalous Burdell bogus-baby lawsuit
some years ago. Yet Mr.. Tilden has
never had any other ostensible BUSH

ST. LOUIS, July ia great deal OF
indignation has been expressed here
among all classes Of people at the at

sane ambition for notoriety. Sturgis,
in fact, charges that the relative posi-
tions in which the bodies of Custer and
his men and officers were found shows
that Custer was away to the rear at the
time of the massacre, and was subse-
uuently overtaken and he and his
body guard slaughtered. 1t ia gener-
ally believed that Sturgis has been in-
duced to make these charges Through
feelings of chagrin of the loss Of his son.
In connection with these charges your
correspondent tonight had conversa-
tion with John Malone, one OF Hazen's
old scouts, who furnished the following
incident to demonstrate, as he said,
that "the YellOw-Haired Chief was
game" The morning of the Wichita
fight, Custer left his supply train and
surrounded the enemy half an hour be-
fore daylight. A rumor had reached
Major Elliott's ears that some of the
Seventh Cavalry intended to profit by
the opportunity, and kill their General
for his alleged tyranny. The Major so
informed Custer, with the suggestion
that he should not turn his back to his
men. Custer replied that he never

him in the back, and sent word to the
band TO start the music. "What tune
shall we play" inquired the leader.
'sPlay Garry Owen,'-a good tune to
die by" shouted Custer, as he put
spurs to his charger, and was the first
man in that famous fight.

A FRENCH soldier, named Henry Duhamel,
has just died at the hopital of Bicetre who
was wounded in the head at Buzenval in the
war of 1870. His wound soon healed, but he
was left quite insane, and fancied himself
dead. When people asked after his health he
would answer, "How is Duhamel? Poor fel-
low, he was killed at Buzenval. What you
see is only machine made to resemble him.
But it is badly made and they ought to make
another. He never spoke of himself as 81" or
''me," but always at ''that thing" He was
sometimes insensble for days together, and
would show no telling whatever, though
pinched and blistered severely.

Governor of South Carolina.

The OLD WOMAN.-Once it was
"moth her." and it was "Mother, Pm
hungry" Mother, put up my dinner
and her loving hands would spread the
butter and sow on the great patch, her
heart brimming with affection for the
imperious little curly pate that made
her so many steps.
Now she is the "old woman" but
she did not think that it would ever
come to that. She looked through the
future years, and saw her boy to man
hood grown; and he stood transfigured
in the light of her own beautiful love.
Never was there more noble son than
he-honOred in the world, and the staff
of her declining years. I'D tHz
Aye, he was her support even then
but she did not know it.-She never
realized that it was her little boy that
gave her strength for daily tOil-that
his slender form was all that upheld
her over the brink of despair. She
only knew how she loved the child,
and felt that amidst the mists of age,
his iove would bear her gently thro'
its sinfirmities to the dark hall leading
to the light beyond.
But the son has forgotten the moth
er's ministratiOnS now. Adrift from
the moorings of home, he is cold, sell
fish, heartless, and "mother" has no
sacred meaning to the prodigal. She
is the "old woman" wriDklsd, gray,
lame and blind. -----

Pass THEM IN REvIEw-If the Democrats
could be marshaled in army array, and pass in
review before the people of the nation, it would
require no argtment to prove that out of such
a crowd nothing like reform could come. As
well might you expect to drink water from a
dirty pond as to expect purity of government
and reform in its administration to come out
of the ranks of Democracy. Tilden may
know Of some filtering process by which the
impure can be made pure, and Democracy as
sweet as new mown hay, but as yet the Amer
ican people are little skeptical about the
possibility of such change.

savages of Hamburg to the slaughter of un-
armed blacks, was Major General in the
Confederate army, and a son of that fire-eating
Senator, Andrew Pickens Butler, to whom
Sumner alluded as indulging in "a loose ex-
pectoration of speech"-a phrase for which
Preston S. Brooks assailed Sumner with a
cudgel. And the question of this hour is,

An Ameteur Political Economist.

Chicago Courier.

Times are hard sighed a spiritless
looking man, as he sat down on a dry
goods box on State street.

out small silver by the cart-load, but
they can't resume.

where is the specie? l haven't got it,

He was addressing COMPANION who
gave a melancholy assent to every
thing.
Now, If T. continued the man,
doubling up his fist and hitting the box
hard blow, Twas to own this box full
of silver, and it would take three boxes
of silver and two of gold to resume,
how in the creation do you suppose
could resume on that one box?'
Just as the other man was about to

LORD BACON is supposed to have had Sam
Tildon in mind when he wrote,-"We take
cunning for sinister or crooked wisdom, and
certainly there is a great difference between a
cunning man and wise man, not only in
point of honesty, but in point of ability.
There are those who can pack the cards, and
cannot play well; so there are some that are
good in canvasses and factions, who are other
wise weak men,"
