a LIE NAILED Governor Tilden aud Gov
ernor Hendricks met at Sayatogaa few days
ago, whether aecidently or BY appointment
does not appear. The organs which are ad-
vocaling'Mr. Hayes electioniai once went to
work aud assured their readers tha: the
meeting bore in some way upon the forth
coming letter Of acceptance Of Mr.. Tilden,
and declared that the interview between the
two gentlemen ended in disagreement on
the financial question. Of course there vas
not one word of truth in the statement. The
falsehood is too bald for even the New York
Tribune, n Jealous Hayes paper, 10 endorse.
In dispatch from Saratoga its correspondent
at that point says.
1t is stated positively by those who ought
to know int in the conference between Gov
ernor Tilden and Governor Hendricks here
The latter did not once make a suggestion
favoring imitation, nor advance any PROPOSE
ton for modification Of Governor Tilden S
hafd-noney views in the coming letter of ac-
cepiance. The friends of Governor Hendricks
have, indeed, taken occasion since he has been
here TO state hat he has never in any speech
or by any public act advocated the imitation
heresy and they say that be will not advo-
cate it in his letter acceptance. The report
that there was a rapture between the two can
didates upon the financial issue cannot be
traced TO any trust worthy sourse They
parted apparently on the best o. terms Gov
ernor Tilden's reasons for returning TO
Albany were simply the necessities Of execu-
tive business.

of the party which, in his estimation, he had

All remedies for sunstFoke are somewhat
similar in character. The New York Eys-
ming Eapres' furnishes one which has proved
eficacious in many Instances, and which
should be generally known. The remedy is
the free use of ice, internally if it can be
swallowed, which is rarely the case, aud its
free and persistent use externally. Whoever
finds patient thus affected should carry
him into an airy room, and placing man at
each extremity, get them to rub him from
head 10 foot with large pieces OF ice. This
rednces as rapidly as possible the tempera-
ture, or, in other words, puts out the fire, and
if this be promptly done, recovery will take
place even in cases apparently of the most
desperate character.
