Tilden Sued for his Income Tax.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Suit was
commenced in the U. S. Circuit Court
against Samuel j. Tilden, to recover
$150,000, the alleged balance due on
his income tax. This morning the
capias was issued, returnable on the
9Th of February. United States Dis
trict Attorney Bliss says he was
directed some time ago by Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue Raum to
commence suits sgainst all parties
who had failed to pay their income
tax, but delayed bringing this suit
on account of the position occupied
by Mr.. Tilden before the public.

NATURES FREAK.-One of the
Cinnamon residing in the rear Of our
Office is one of the most remarkable
illustrations of natures freaks that
has ever come under our observation.
While possessing the peculiar features
and shape of the MoDsolian race, his
body is half white and half black,
the dividing line in front commenc-
ing at the larynx, and the spinal col
umn being the converglng line in the
rear. The right leg is ghostly
white, as is also the right half of the
body from the throat down, while a
jet black is the color of the other
side. We have been unable to learn
the cause of this singular fact, but
deem it worthy the attention of med
ical experts. Silver State.

Paper

On July !, 1866, the outstanding or
available paper money aggregated 81 .SO2,-
7O3,7?6, equal to 5000 per capita; on
July |, 1877, the amount had been con-
tracted to 1896, 443, 1894, and the per capita
to $l4 Ca decline of $l,l07, 259, 332 in
the volume and ofS36. 10 in the per capita.
Even this, however, does not show the
whole measure of contraction. The high
est total of paper money in existence at
any one date was on Sept. ], 1865, when
the volume stood at $l.996, 678,77O. Be-
tween that date and July l, 1877, the COD
traction amounted to 1900, 1916. This,

GRAIN FOE EUROPE.
How Much America can Supply this
Year, but Cannot Garry.

Mr. Franklin Edison, one of the leading
grain merchants in New York city, has fur
nished reporter of the Commercial Adj
Uertiser with data about the grain crop Of
this country, apropos of the information
given the State Department at Washing
ton by the United States Minister to Greece
about the failure Of the crop in Southern
Russia, and the consequent opportunity
presented to this country of controlling to
q great extent the markets of the world
Mr.. Edison thinks that we have at least
100000 of bushels of wheat alone TO
spare, and that the prices obtaiDable for
this surplus, although not likely to be high,
will be at least fair. He sees no reason
why the United States should not secure
English, French and Italian markets under
the present circumstances, but at the same
time believes it to be great mistake that
we do not secure the carrying trade as well.
He expressed himself decidedly in favor Of
something being done at once towards re-
storing the American commercial marine &.
its former strength.
MIR. Walker, the produce exchange sta
tistieian, also being asked for his views
said that the United States would have
between $4,000, 1000 and 100000, 900 bush
els of wheat to spare. while Europe would
want about l50,000,00O bushels. He
however, thought that while the Black Sci
supply, amounting to about 40,000,00I
bushels, would be cut off, the Baltic prov
inces Of Russia would still be able to fur
nish from 100000 to l0,000,000 bushels
while other countries may furnish nearl.
100000 bushels more. About the corr
crop Mr.. Walker thought that, judgin
from last year, England will want abou
|, S0,000,000 bushels, 60,000,000 Of whicI
were supplied by this country and 10000
600 by Southern Europe, which last wi
this year be entirely cut of. He saw n
reason to suppose that America woul
} be unable to supply the whole, as the Gro
was a very fine one this year; and at tn
same time he apprehended no rise in tn
price here on account of the increased ex
port demand.

The Ohio Workingmeu's candidate for

can be summed up in one sentence: More

been more interesting if he had explained
by what process those desirable results are
TO be obtained, for there is not doubt that
everybody in the country stands on that

on that point. When it comes to practical

that the Workingmen's candidate would

In reality the government has nothing
to do with resumption. All it has to do is
TO pay It's notes, and this it can do by re-
firing them as they come into the Treasury.
No resumption act is necessary in honest
payment or to bring about specie payment.
Resumption acts are merely for avoiding
payment; for floating, shining, kite-fying,
and cheating. He who talks of the duty OF
government to resume is an infationist.

Shall Farmers Sell Their Grain NOwP

From the Prairie Farmer
We have heretofore stated that we be
ieve the grain sent forward to tide waters
this season will return more net money
to the farmer than the same grain sent
forward next SKINNER. Europe wants the
grain now. Next season, full crops there
may tell against us. Both Europe and the
United States are pretty thoroughly drain
ed Of wheat. The present immense crop
is providenrial, to supply the want. If a
fair proportion of this crop Ia sent forward
to the seaboard while navigation is open to
complete with land transit freights will be
low, and the farmer may then hold the sur
plus if freights should be advanced very
considerably at the close of navigation.

politics. In an interview few days age
with a correspondent of the Cincinnati

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

Fret among the requisites of the toilet 1s a good
article OF Soap, but to procure it is not always
easy matter. Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleterious
materials and their delicate coorIng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive i'm
purties. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject are positively startling and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely objectionable especial
ly il applied to the head injuring the hair irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches. The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement OF a gentlemen who makes the scent
ing of Soaps his business he recently declared that
perroDs 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 dificulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last Obviated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill Of Mr.
B. T. Rabbit, Of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
Is by lar the greatest Of the kind In the United
States The renOwn Of Mr.. Rabbits various pro-
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, MIR, Babbitt has succeeded in perfeetinG the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
0uced. The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely and original and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department of industry.
s'B. T. Babbitt's Toilet Soap" is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury lie designated,
and for applications to the delicate skin of infants
children and ladies' it is altogether unequaled In its
emolent properties. This Soap is not perfumed,
the ingredients being Of such absolute purity
require 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. T.
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders it the most healthful
| and agreeable article of the kind ever manufac.
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children, this Soap equally appropriate for
gentlemen's toilet, and 1t makes heavy lather
1t Is also one of the finest soaps for BARRIERS uss
