MR.. TILDEN.
An Interview on the Eve of His Depart
ure for Europe.

Special Dispdteh 10 the CidctnnndH Enquirer.
Mr.. Tilden, accompanied by Secretary of
State Bigelow, sailed on the Scythia the
18th inst, for three-months' stay abroad.
He has been spending the hot weather at
Sea Girt, n. j.. and TO a World correspon-
dent who visited him there yesterday he
expressed himself quite freely on current
topics, He said his trip had no connection
whatever with any business enterprise or
railroads scheme, as announced without
authority IN some papers. In regard to the
electoral commission. he said he never had
any real confidence in the arbitration of the
question where there was so much at stake
by body of that kind The Republican
party, and men who had managed it IN the
past, were too anxious to retain the admin
istratlon to yield any point in an arbitra-
ton. The result of the electoral commits
sion, therefore, was what might have been
expected, considering the power aud infu-
enCe brought to bear upon the political
majority of that body as finally constituted.
He furthermore never liked the scheme as
matter of principle, believing that the di-
rection of the Democratic appeal was not
away from three hundred and sixty-nine
representatives of the people toward fifteen
| luutNluudib, duu Sill lCbc, lIOu uiICCu III
dividuals towards one to to be selected with
large element of chance, not to say of
trick and device, He thought there
should rather have been an appeal from
the 800 representatives to the 100000 of
voters through a new election. He was
distrustful of the secrecy, celebrity and i'm
providence with which the arrangement
was carried through and ushered into be-
ing; but the proposition appealed to the
hopes of the business classes, which were
anxious above all things for settlement
of almost any kind, at almost any price,
snd as it was presented by the unanimous
report of the joint committee it became the
only representative of public desire fol
peace.
The events which are now attracting sc
much public attention IN New Orleans, and
the disclosures which perhaps may follow
Mr.. Tilden considers only the logicaloutcomG
OF the revolutionary acts of last fall and
and winter. In government like ours, be
said, such fraudulent practices as were re
ported from New Orleans last November
sooner or later must come to light, and the
guilty parties, with their practices, must be
made known 1t was so with the rims
frauds in New York. 1t has been the CASE
to certain extent in Washington, and a
like result will follow in New Orleans. Il

Eagle Anvil Works

Made at the Oldest Anvil mandatory in this
country. All English Anvils after time, become
following on the face by continued hammering in
use, account of the fbrous nature of the wrought
iron--causiDg il to settle under the steel.
But the body of the Eagle Anvil being of crys.
talized iron, such settling cannot occur; and the
steel face therefore remains perfectly true. Also,
1t has the great advantage, that being Of more
SOLID material, and, consequently, with less re-
bound, the piece forged receives the'FULL effect
OF the hammer, instead of part of it being wasted
by the rebound, as with a wrought iron Anvil.
More work can therefore be done on this Anvil
with hammer one-ifth lighter than required for q
wrought iron Anvil which is more elastic

TOILET SOAP
A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites of the toilet Is a good
article of Soap but TO procure 1t is not always an
easy matter. Many OF the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleteriOus
materials and their delicate cOorlng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive i'm
purities. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this hject positively startling, and
deserve serions consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely objectionable, especial
ly If applied to the head niuring the hair, irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches. The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement OF gentlemen VINO makes the scent
ing Of Soaps his business he recently declared that
persons engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven to ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol-
lowed.
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle OF toilet soap ID at last obviated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr..
b. I. Babbitt, OF New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer. whose immense establishment
Is ny Jar the greatest OF the kind in the United
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated, but this latest success is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment Mr.. Babbitt has succeeded in perfectnS the
composition of the fir eet toilet soap ever intro
| ouced. The principal ingredients the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely and original, and the result Is simply
unparalleled in this department OF industry.
'B. 7. Babbitt's Toilet SOAPS is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury Is designated,
and for applications to the delicate skin OF infants,
children and ladies it is altogether unequaed in its
emolent properties This Soap is not perfumed
the Ingredients being of such absolute purity as to
require no aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials. The most refined taste considers the
absence of artificial perfume the perfection of
sweetness, and this peculiar characteristic Of B.
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders 1t the most healthful
and agreeable article OF the kind ever manufac-
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children, this Soap Is equally appropriate for
gentlemen's toilet, and as 1t makes heavy lather
1t is also of the finest soaps for barber's use.
IL is just being placed upon the Market bnt the
demand for 1t will soon become general.-N. Y,
