days Of his youthful vigor. Ho IL re-

in his profession. and II he would retire
now to private life and enjoy the fruits
Of his lAbon. he would justly be entitled
10 that respect which In ever dns to old
age. he has chosen not TO do this. He
has decided to run for President Of the
United States. Having made this de-
cision II is due to the nation Of large to
know somsthine about the man for
whom they are called to vote.
Samuel J.. Tildsn is an old man. That
il nothing against him. Many very old
men have done better service for their
State and their country than younger
men could have done. But Mr.. Tilden
Ia versing into what Shakespeare calls

He Is old and imbeeile. and Is willing to

that he will not end a. poor Greeley

SIR SIMEON HKSnY STEWART made q
fatal mistake the other day. which Is
calculated to raise q breeze in a%ristocrt-
ic English circles. The baronet. al
though a much married man, cherished
Q secret and romantic passion for n
daughter Of the people. one Miss Emily
Blandforl. who il . govsrness. The
melancholy examples Of the thousands
who had done the sams and suffered
did not deter Sir Simson. and he carried
on an extensive correspondents with
the young lady. BY too great efforts at
secrecy. he finally succeeded in sending
to Mis- Blandford Q letter intended for
his daughter. and the latter . tender
missivs designed for the lovely but low
bred governess. Lady Stewart, the

HOW MEN OF GENIUS CON.
VERSE.

Tasso's conversation was neither
gay nor brilliant. Dante was
either taciturn or satirical. Gray
seldom talked, or smiled. Butler
was sullen or biting. Hogarth
and Smith were very absent-mind-
ed in company. Milton was very
unsociable and even irritable when
pressed into conversation. Kir-
win, though copious and eloquent
in public addresses, was meagre
and dull in colloquial discourse.
La Fontaine appeared heavy,
coarse and stupid; he could not
speak and describe what he had
just seen; but then he was the
model OF poetry. Chaucer's 81.
lence was more agreeable than his
conversation. Dryden's conversa-
ton was slow and dull, bis humor
saturnine and reserved. Corn
ellie, in conversation. was so insip-
id that he never failed OF weary
ing; he did not even speak correct
ly the language of which he was
such q master. Ben johnson used
to sit silent in company, and suck
his wine and their humors. South,
ey was stiff, sedate, and wrapped
up in asceticism. Addison was
good in company with his intimate
friends, but in mixed company he
preserved his dignity by a reserv-

The Windsor Castle OF To-Day.

The queen still comes to Windsor
for some part IF the year. and now and
then the castle wakes up to something
like the gayety Of old but it is not
the same. Now and then, too, the
married sons and daughters come and
fill the old house with their children
fresh voices, always cheerful, with
again and again new victoria, to re-
new the recollection of the others.
cannot tell you how many those chill,
dren are alreadythey have grown be-
yond counting, and make little tribe
of themselves. But better than the
stately towers of Windsor the queen
loves Highland Balmoral with its
ScotcE+French turrets this dear
paradise" as she calls it, "where
all has become my dearest Albert's
own creation; or Osborna, by the
sea. where che delighted in the song
of birds"
But our.castle, hospitable and calm
In its stately old age, docs not reseut
even this desertion. The trees rise
round the gray walls as green as ever /;
the music peals as sweetly through St,
Georges; the tsun shines as in its
brightest days. These towers reign
in a tranquil, unbroken sovereignty
over the broad rich country as far as
eye can reach more proudly royal
when the great standard floats from
the round tower, yet never less than
kingly; as fine an embodiment of state
and strength and beauty as ever was
made in stone. How many have come
and gone under their shelter How
many touching stories of happiness
and suffering, and love and pity, cling
to the old walls, which are so much
older. Mr.. Stevens rose and addressing
the court said : ''If it please your
honors, presuming there are different
degrees of guilt attached to the prison
els, my clients. l move they be tried
separately"
Judge Lewis consulted for a few
moments with his associates, who
consenting, the motion was granted
and so recorded. Waiting some time
for MIR: Stevens to go on. Judge Lewis,
at last becoming impatient. said i'm.
petuously, Proceed, Mr.. Stevens pro.
ceed. We are waiting for you sir"
stevens rose deliberately, and looking
around the court room for q moment,
said: ibid yonr honors ever hear of
one man being tried for conspiracy ?"
Then waving his hands to his clients,
ne SAID, ~ ou can go home" And
tney did go LONE. The jury were
discharged and the court adjourned.
And Tor this piece of legal strategy
ihac. stevens received five thousand
do lars.
