OF the Governor's mansion, two or three
cnurches and the capitol al the extremity, as
Aforesaid, the street seems 10 be given up 10
cheap boarding houses, doctors Offices and
small shops. IL, mean the Governors man

structure OF gray stone, with red sandstone
foundation and trimmings, and an ample
DOW window on one side and tower on the
other. IL is nearly covered with ivy, and
The long pinnacle OF q portico which runs
way down the walk 10 meet one, covered, as
IL is, with vines, looks almost like a bower,

stranger about 10 enter. The building stands
oack nom the streeta couple OF hundred feet,
perhaps, and the neatly-shaven lawn, with

ENTER, HIS ExCELLENCY.

governor was taking his afternoon nap, aud

been SO engTossed with Official business dur
Ing the day, and would be engaged at IL until

IN trying 70 harmonize these two stories so
as TO make the excellent excuse of the custo-
dian OF the card basket consist" with the
equally valid one OF the keeper OF the privy
seal, heard footsteps In the hall, then nv
name given hurrledly, and then the COVER
nor entered, and, addressing me by name,
gave me pleasant greeting, and at once
commenced asking about some OF his old
personal and political friends In Ohio. My
conclusion was that the talented young men
who reported him asleep and immersed 10
state papers hadn't taken their observations
with sufnclent care TO secure absolute accu-
and not SO engrossed with state affairs as 10
interfere with his sociability.
Every body has seen Governor Tilden's
pictures IN the shop windows and the Illus
trated papers, and every body Is likely to be
deceived by them, just as i was. A pleasant
voiced, brisk moving, hearty looking man
OF apparently nfty years, little under size
perhaps, but with a straight and well knit
frame, with clean shaven face, whose closely
cut features indicate cool judgment aud In
Vinclble determination above all other
s..
his heavy eyebrows, with hair light colored
but not even marked with gray, Mr.. Tilden
looks 10 Gay what think he is proudest of
being considered, thoroughly trained law
yer at the very zenith OF his rofessional
abilities and OF professional fame, the envy
ALE OF com Bench and Bar; In his talk be
tTatfon and animated gesture when he is
sitting, and not uncommon habit OF rising
TO his feet and walking back and forth on
the noor as be enunciates his ideas on polit-
ical reform and democratic restoration,
which go far toward making up the sum OF
bis worldly ambitions.
Dropping here the personal TO take up his
mental attributes, / think j can describe
Governor Tilden in a word, and In that 1
would call him the Cardinal Richelieu OF
the democratic party.

are "to foster the composition and produc

use the successful works of foreign dramatic
authors, to endeavor to remove or avoid de-

weekly outlay" According to this arrange
ment, dramatic stars will ind new order OF
things. First of all, the managers will rule
sist on dealing directly. Next, the stars
compensation will be fixed by a managerial
board OF directors, who will arbitrate, after
the cities and the travelling expenses between

Pfttsourg, Pa, July q, saye: To the work
ing interest there is much importance at
fached TO the national convention which as
senbles In this city next week. Already
there exists strong organization OF pud-
Oilers and boiler makers throughout the
country, and IL is proposed 10 further in
crease the strength OF this body. The other
organizations IN the convention will be the
National Union OF Mil Hands, which repre-
sents the rollers, roughers, catchers and
hookers, or, In other words, all the various
employees about iron mills. In addition to
these there Will be the organizations of the
heaters and rollers OF steel and iron. These
three DIVISIONS represent all branches OF iron
workers, and this will be the first occasion
where they will have been consolidated in
one convention.
II would seem the object of forming such a
powerful organization rs the coercion OF cap
1tal; but the promoters of the movement say
such is not the case; that the amalgamation
OF all the branches or the order is simply to
secure from manufacturers an equitable and
enduring list OF prices, aud thus prevent
strikes. The puddlers and boiler makers on
strike here were successful in securing from
their employers assured rates from one year
to another, but the mill hands are subject TO
