1868. This affidavit ID printed on the
outside Of the income tar schedule, and
Ia In every dot and line accurately re,
produced above. Il will be observed
that Nj. Tilden's original intention
about his income for 1862 was even iegs
liberal than The amount finally inserted
Nv soIne extraordinary process o. cal
cIlation he got In S6,SSS II as his IN
come for 1862, buta conscientious, aiter-
Thought seems to have prompted MN 70
raise Il to S711s. How gross an na
fraudulent an understatement TINS W.
NAV be- partially Sonjectured from inc
nSymet,ts received and chiefly earned IN
fs82. which are presented above. There
a nS M means Of stating tho detailed
items oiincome and reductions by when ~
Mr. ridden reached this result, as he leit
the inside Of the return de'o'eS -
sum In tI regard to the table setting forth
.ona tens Of the actual income OF Sam
s %oI 7 T;Iden In 1862, ii is only necessary
w us' sS =, that 10 tho best Of our knowledge
nj ~ beIief' Il is, al far as Il goes, very
s " correct. In cases where legal
mrooi has failed we have fixed upon low
fr figures than those given by the best in-
formed sources 10 which we have had &c,
cess. II Mr.. Tilden or any Of his friends
are prepared 10 challenge the correctness
OF our partial table Of income, our col.
umns are freely open TO them for that
purpose. Before We haye done with the
inquiry, we expect to be able toshow that
Mr.. Tildens income in 1852 was nearer .
quarter Of million Of dollars than the
amount above given. It will be observed
that We have taken no account OF Mr..
Tilden's income derived from diyidends
or interests on investments. II, as his
apologists maintain, a large proportion
Of his income was derived from such
sources, and paid ar, Independent tax OF
8 per cent before reaching him, he was
still liable to the additional 2 per
cent chargeable upon item Of in
comes exceeding $4,000 a year.
For II will be observed that Mr.. Tildep's
fraud upon the Government In 1868 was
OF a somewhat complicated character.
First, he states his income at figure be-
low $4,000, and thus escapes with a,tax
q three instead Of five per cent. Then,
he not only fraudulently. conceals at least
nine-tenths Of his professional income,
but he omits all reference to the income
derived in 1862 from interest on diyi-
bends, on stocks, bonds, &c, in various
companies and corporations. In the fol-
lowing year he admitted a considerable,
though greatly under-stated, income
from this source, and paid the additional
two per cent on $7,S66 Of the amount.
The fraud involved in this return for
1868, we shall examine at greater detail
at another time, as we'll as the annual UNI
derstatements OF income by which he
profted SO largely during the rest Of the
len years in which he paid income tax,
1t is, perhaps, as well that the public at
tention should DO directed TO one point al
a time, and the fraud and perjury Of 1852
are certainly striking enough 10 make q
very effective case when considered
without reference to The similar instances
Of dishonesty and false swearing which
succeeded them. i

A Woman's Opinion OF surf
1s. Bathing.

Halter 10 81. Louis Republican, r- so. %
Let me describe the sensation; and, as
l am a woman, own just the truth ~ 10
this fashionable diversion. First, there
Is the undressing in the bath.house- "a
closet hardly big enough to turn about 10;
for no lady prepares for bathing at the
hotel before going down to the. beach.
You feel sure somebody sees you through
the cracks in the imperfect planks, and
you get red aud nervous with fear and
shame. Then the ridiculous dress. Why
IL is a Bloomer costume, short pants and
a blouse, making a guy Of the prettiest
woman, and fright OF nearly all. The
bit OF mirror only shows how absurdly
your head looks in the coarse shutdown
hat, and you know you are sure you can
not face the curious and idle spectators on
the shore in such rig. Then comes tap
on the door, and care you ready Z" gives
no more time for cogitation. You open the
door and step out on the platform to Join
your companions, self.convinced that il
ever in your lie you have acted and look
ed like an idiot now is the time. You cross
the sands and make an advance into the
first breaker. Oh! what a chill creeps
through your whole body; how death1y
coldLand you see another breaker COM
ing. You catch the rope and await the
consequences, while your companion says
Courage" in that slow, rasping voice
which means that something dreadful Is
coming. Audit has come. The wave has
gone over you in one binding, smothering
mass. Your eyes, your ears, your nos-
trils are full Of II, and q rain Of spray
comes down from your broad.brimmed
hat TO blind you as you feel the sands
washing out from under your feet with the
retiring wave. When you can sec, you
know that another breaker is'coming 10
oyerwhelm you. II looks like q white.cap-
ped demon that has gathered all Its force
10 drown you and dash You up on
those yellow sands that look SO in:
willingly dry at this present moment.
"Now for It." shouts somebody, as the
monster goes over'you, and In twink.
Ting your feet are where your head
should be. You grasp at the rope and
wonder II the undertaw will take you
out before you can be rescued and set on
your feet again. Assistance comes Just
In time to DO whipped and tossed again,
and this is repeated over again for few
moments; then you walk out as best you
can, clinging TO the rope all the time, in
the most depressed and crest fallen con-
dition. Even the joy Of being on the dry
sands does not compensate for your for.
lorn appearance; and you know that
Smith aud Brown are laughing, rs You
pass them, at your dripping garments.
II il was an ordeal TO go down to the
water in this wretched dress, what is II to
face a crowd Of grinning idiots as you
return? The only fomfort possible un.
der such trying circumstances is to re.
member that you can laugh in return
when they battle, and that you will not
be recognized by your best friends in
your present costume.

TYPOGRAPHY. From the accompanying
explanations We extract the following:
Il will be observed that in 1868 Mr..
T'lden SWOre that his income from all
sources in 1862, subject 10 income tax,
was N,llS, while in 1876 he made an-
other Affirmation under oath that in 1862
he received from one Of his numerous
sources Of professional income fees to the
amount Of $4,000. No'dcfense touching
The mOrits Of the case has yet been at:
tempted by Mr.. Tilden or any OF his or
cans. The private Secretary OF the Gov
eFnocr did indeed hint that Mr.. Tilden
made up his income tax return for 1862
with reference not to fees paid, but fees
actually earned in that year. Al part Of
Inc leea received from the bondholders Of
Inc St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute
haiI'oad was paid for services rendered
III previous years, tho explanation was
eagerly seized upon by the Democratic
Pses; throughout the country Us being q
toac'uslve answer to the Times accuse.
"Ons oil perjury and fraud. ,.'
But the excuse simply amounted to q
Sson'es'ion Of judgment. No one knows
T Eiset than those who put forward this
S 1e Of Mr.. Tilden that at no time
uItlng his professional career did he do
larger Or more profitable legal business
'aAn IN 1862. Al least four companies

also specimens of minerals, metals, PIC
lures of the public schools of Wheeiing,
&c. The collection Of the different arti-
cles which West Virginia presents here
is considered very good, and we think
the West Virginians have done tneir
duty in this Centennial exhibition.
Suppose we spend the remainder OF the
day in the Art Gallery, and jumping on
the street cars we ride around to the
Memorial Hall. This edifice embraces
the richest gems of painting and sculp-
ture culled from the collections OF the
old and new worlds. The first thing
that attracts the eye upon entering Is
large painting representing the Homage
of America to the spirit of her institu-
tions," painted by Edward Van Reush
especially for this occasion. On it are re-
presented the four Continents: Europe,
Asia, Africa and Australia, received as
guests OF America, and welcomed on the
shores of our Continent, which is held by
two oceans, the Pacific and the Atlantic.
Also on the painting is representation
of Columbia, in the name and presence
of all the Sovereign States OF America
paying homage to free country on her
hundreth birthday.
As we were walking through the hall,
who should we happen to come in con-
tact with but the Emperor of Brazil? He
is a common looking man, dressed IN
citizens clothing, and could not be dis
tlnguished from any good looking, we'll
built American. His beard is white, his
hair gray and he looks like a very intelll-
gent man. He does not possess the looks
of an Emperor, and dresses more for COM
fort than Tor fashion: nor does he wear
any jewelry, except plain gold watch
chain.
A painting in the French department
entitled "The death of Cesar" attracted
some attention. 1t represents Cesar ly-
ing at the foot of Pompey's statue sur.
rounded by thirteen large, stout men
with their daggers in hand, about to
plunge them into him.
Several days may be proftably spent
in this building, studying the
fine paintings and sculpture.
After leaving this department we con.
cluded to walk down to the celebrated
Log Cabin and spend few minutes.
About all of the articles here Gre from
New England, and are very interesting
on account of their age. The first thing
we see upon entering is cradle IN which
was rocked Peregrim White, who was
born on the May Flower 1920. Next is
a spinning wheel from Plymouth, Mas
sachusetts, 200 years old;al7O year old sad.
die from Cape Cod, which belonged to the
Pilgrims and it is such as the nobility of
that day used; clock 1913 years old;
needle book Of the Pilgrims
brought TO this country in
1923; bedstead and bed clothes 200 years
old, which were used before the letter "J'
was introduced into the alphabet; chair
that came from England to this country
in the second ship that sailed over; a
knife and fork that belonged to General
Sir VIM. Howe, commander of the
British forces at tho battle of Brandy
Wine, and were left by him at his head
quarters in Birmingham township; a
silver teapot used by Gen. Lafayette in
Boston; clock 400 years old, and many
other ancient articles too numerous to
mention.
We begin to ieel weary,tired and rather
anxious to leave. +.

Editors of the Register.
Perhaps q few Centennial notes from
this great city, where so much interest
centers ut this time, might be Of interest
to you. How, when or where the idea OF
commemorating the one hundredth year
of our existence Is q nation by II grand
International Exhibition originated, is
enveloped in darkness and doubt, so far
- know. But the idea once suggested,
the project rapidly increased in strength
and MAGNITUDE until it became what 1t is
now. The city is alive with visitors, out
of course not quite So many as were mere
ON the Fourth. The Exhibition Is sSfea1
school snd the learners are many.
The frst plsce we wish to visit is the
West Virginia building. 1t Is natural
fer all visitors to wish ~ see the display
of their own state first, aud more coPious
notes are made Of it, and the articles there
are Investigated more than of almost any
thing else on the grounds. A handsome
looking little cottage is presently pointed
out TO us as the West Virginia building.
A beautiful lawn surrounds 1t, and the
building is far superior 70 many other
state headquarters. The hrst room 70
be seen upon entering is q sort OF read
;nc.,oom' where files Of nearly all the
,aners of the state are kept Here We
rest ourselves for time, registering our
names and glancing over the nome
