An ENIdcncr of Immortality.

find that whaj is called great and
powerful life the administration Of large
affairs in commerce in the courts, in the
the ,tatc, is prone to develop narrow and
special talent, but, unless combined with
n certain contcmpIaliyr turn, a taste for
abstract truth, for the moral laws does
not build up faith or lead to content.
There is u profound melancholy at the
base Of mcnofactiyc and powerful talent,
seldom suspected. Many ycars AGO there
were two men in the United States sen.
ate, both ofwhom are now dead. have
sccn them both one Of them personally
knew, Both were men OF distinction, and
took an active part in the politics ui
their day and generation. They were
men Of intellect, and one Of them, at Il
latter period, gave to Il friend this ancc-
dotc; lie said that when he entered the
senate he became in a short time init,
mate with one Of his colleagues, and,
though attentive enough to the routine
of public duty, they daily returned to
each otpcr and spent much time in con
vrrsation on the Immortality of the soul,
When my friend at last left congress they
parted, his colleague remaining there,
and, rs their residences were widely dis.
laut from each other, it CHANGED that he
never met him again until, twenty-five
years aitcrward, they saw each other
through open doors, at u distance, in a
crowded reception Of the presidents
house in Washington. Slowly they ad-
yanccd toward each other as they could,
through the brilliant company, and at
last met, said nothing, but shook hands
long and cordially. At 'ast his friend
said "Any light, AIbcrt?' "Nouc!'
he. They looked into each 9th
cr's eyes silently, gave one more last
shake to the hand they held, and then
parted for the last time. Now, | should

Charles Francis Adams Declares Tor
Tildcn.

In a brief interview with the Hon.
Charles Francis Adams, at his Quincy
home, Immediately after Che receipt OF
the news Of Governor Tildcn's nOmina-
lion, the veteran statesman very frankly
cave his opinion Of the nomination.
Mr., Adams expressed his surprise at
the convention arriving at SO speedy a
decision. That Mr.. TiIdcn had secured
the Necessary l%wo.thirds On the second
ballot showed his Great strength in his
party,
Mr.. 1iIdcn, said Mr.. Adams, is a
formidable candidate, especially on a
hard-moncy platform. Mr.. TiIdcn and
this platform the democratic party stands
better, morally. before the people than
docs the republican party. Hayes is
nothing; respectable, no doub., but
without any record Ms a rclormcr.
ridden is in himself Il platform. He
has made his record. OF the two, said
Mr.. Adams, very decidedly, | would in.
GnitcIy prefer to see Mr. TiIdcn in the
executive chair. Mr., Adams iurthc
said that ne had feared 1iIdcn's enemies
would stab him in the back. His foes
were jobbcrs and corrupt men. lie will
have hidden enemies to encounter in the
coming campaign. The traditionary dis
cipIiuc Of the democratic party, the
party pride and inclination, will cause all
democrats to fall into line for Mr.. TiIden,
Mr.. Adams also said he thought Mr..
liIdcn would carry his own state. The
independent vote will probably divide,
those voters with republican prcdiIcc.
ton, going for Hayes, However, Gov,
liIdcn will secure the support Of the OPP
poncntS Of corruption who desire to sec
real work accomplished. The republi.
can platform is weak, especially in its
financial plank, This was an cndcayol
to catch both the soft and hard money
men.
As to the other candidates before the
81. LouiSconvcntion, Mr.. Adams thought
them all weak. Hancock would have
been beaten ON account, partly, Of hi.
being a military man. There is Il re-
action, perhaps temporary, against mill
tary men, owing to the dissatisfaction
with General Grant. Thurman would
have been u fair candidate, but not
Hendricks had no national re-
'ord Of importance,
TiIdcn's war record is n good one. He
all right there. As president, MrTil-
len would sweep away corrupt men and
,hmsoS.
