Long Branch Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer
That the story Of Governor Til
den having gone 10 Europe had no
foundation was verified by me last night.
Mr.. Tilden was discovered walking close

behind his back, and his promenade frequent
~ interrupted by a stop and a very brown
study. He looks better than ever in the face.

ment In his color, form and style; yet he APP
pears solemn, and some might say unhappy.
| talked with several persons who have con-
versed with MIR. Iilden since he came here.
All agree that he is DESTROYS, II not hopeful,
OF denomination next time, and has ceased
to repCse any hopes in the Potter lnvestlga-
ton, except as an agltator. Mr.. Horace
White, feliow-gue at the hotel, expressed
the following views on the situation: Gov
ernor Tilden." he said, lis for the first FIVE
minutes of conversation so vacant and limp
of countenance that he appears to have lost
his mind; but you must listen to him an
hour, and he will then be found fund
of inform alton, well classified and di-
gested. He has great self-esteem, and is
an idealist in many things-a man, think,
of certain strong purposes. As President
he would nave been obstinate with his party,
but certainly greater success than Hayes,
who is very cheap production. Mr.. White
seems to think that at present the two lead
ing Democratic candidates are Thurman, of
Ohio, and Tilden. He thinks that as Thur
man becomes more prominent Hendricks will
glide in the rear OF Tilden and be content
with second place. Indiana will go for the
old ticket, Tilden and Hendricks. Tilden s
danger lies in New York's regulating him.
If Thurman Is nominated, Mr.. White sup
poses Bayard will De put up for VIce-Presi-
dent He believes Grant will be beaten for
the Republican nomination, and that Ed
munds, of Vermont, is as likely as not to be
the candidate, locality having very little to
do with it, as Blame, who lives further east,
nearly got the nomination two years ago.
White thinks Hayess nominations to Office
worse than Grants.

Forced Resumption-shern,an Plan

washington Star: Secretary Sherman says
he will treat the silver the same as gold coin,
and being, like gold coin,. an unlimited legal
tender may be discussed by the treasurer IN
payment of any current obligations of the
government, aud if offered in such payment
will have to be received. In returning to the
use of coin, natural policy would be to put
the small denominations of gold coin in cir
culation first. If any considerable amount
of such coin were to come up on the market,
the small premium remaining on gold would
no doubt disappear. 1t is thought that most
of the boarded coin in the country consists of
the smaller denominations, and would in the
nature OF things soon make its appearance in
circulation, especially such pieces as are
abraded and reduced In weight. With the
balance of trade largely in favor of this coun-
try, and very satisfactory counts are re-
celved from all sections of an abundant har-
vest, the continued accumulation of com
would appear to be matter Of certainty. If
the gold and silver produced from the mines
OF the United States be coined and remain at
home it is not believed that there will be the
slightest necessity for a recourse to foreign
markets for gold, though it is not at all i'm
probable that considerable importations of
precious metals will be made in the next
twelve months in the natural course of trade.
1t Is believed that the programme of the Sec
rotary In favor of early resumption among
other things looks to the removal of the
premium on coin by indirect means rather
than by the redemption of notes. In view of
the accumulation of coin in the country, and
which is in a dormant condition by reason of
the remaining rates of premium on gold, as
against legal-tender notes, If once set In mo-
ton as circulating money, 1t will tend more
than all measures put together to stimulate
and revive business throughout the country.

KATE CLAYTON an TEARS.
An Actress in an Emotional Scene Be-
fore n Register in Bankruptcy
Sad Case of Hard Working
Woman.

New York Sun: Mrs. Kate Claxton Ste
Venson, the actress, was examined in bank
ruptcy proceedings before Register Fitch yes
terday. He denied the motion of her coun-
sci for an adjournment, and overruled a pro-
test against the examination, deciding that
Thorndike Saunders, acting for Frederick
Lewis, the assignee, was legally entitled to
question her. Mr.. Saunders began to do so.
Mrs. Stevenson burst out crying and ran to
the window. She gradually became quiet,
returned to her seat, apologized, and said
that she was heartily sick OF the proceedings.
She was willing, she said, to work to pay her
creditors and appealed to Register Fitch to
know whether there was any way for her to
withdraw from the bankruptcy proceedings.
Her lawyer stopped her, and told her to an
swer the questions. The register told her
that the answers would not hurt her at all in
getting her discharge. The substance of her
testimony was that she had no property; that
her September theatrical tour had not real
lied enough to pay all claims; that she bor-
rowed money from relatives, and kept no
books of account, not being a merchant or
trader; that her costumes and scenery were
now at NiblOs Garden, and were not worth
carriage Her former husband, Dore Lyon,
had given her many papers relative to real
estate purchases to sign, the contents of
which she did not know, and she signed
them, accepting his assurance that they were
all right. She believed she had signed away
all title long ago, land the lawyers had assured
her that she was free from everything except
two judgments. On cross examination she
said that the scenery and costumes were
necessary to her business, and ten dollars
would be a large price for them. During the
questioning tears frequently filled her eyes,
but she said that she was willing to tell the
whole truth about her business if the lawyers
WOuld allow her TO-

THE MYSTERY OF PAIN,
PROF. GRANT ALLEN.

On the crimson cloth of my study desk
A lustrous moth poised, statuesque.
of a waxen mold were its light limbs shaped,
And In scales or gold Its body was draped;
While its delicate wings were Melted and veined
With svery strings, or golden-graned,
Through whose flmy maze in tremulOus flight
Danced quivering rays of gladstone light.
On the desk close by taper burned,
Toward which the eye of the insect turned.
In its vague little mind a faint desire
Rose underlined, for the beautiful fire.
Lightly it spread each silken van,
Then away it sped for moments span;
And strange delight lured on its course,
With reSistlesS might toward the central source,
And 1t followed the spell through eddylug maze,
Till 1t staggered and fell In the deadly blaze.
DazZled and stunned by the scalding pain,
One moment 1t swooned, then rose again,
And again the fire drew 1t on with It's charms
To living pyre in its awful arms;
And now 1t lies on the table here
Before my eyes all shriveled and Sere.
As sit and muse on its fiery fate,
What themes abStruse might medHatei
For the pangs that thrilled through its delicate
frame.
AS its senses were filled with the scorching fame,
A riddle inclose. that living or dead,
In rhyme or in prose, no seer has read.
- But a moth, you cry, us a thing so Smalli'
All, yes! but why should Ii suffer at all?
Why should a sob for the vaguest smart
One moment throb through the tiniest heart?
Why, in the whole wide universe,
Should single soul feel that primal curse?
Not all the throeS of mighty mind,
Nor the heaviest woes OF human kind
Are OF deeper weight in the riddle OF things
Than this insects fate, with the mangled wings.
But If only l, in my simple song,
Could tell you the why of that one little wrong,
l could tell you more than the deepest page
Of SaintlieSt lore, or wiSeSt sage;
For never as yet in its worldly strife
Could Philosophy get at the import of life;
And TheolOgy'S saws have still to explain
The inscrutable cause for the being of pain,
So somehow fear that, In spite of BOTH
We are baffied here by this one singed moth.

Work Of the Awarding Committees at
the Paris Exposition.

PARIS, July l2.-Nearly all class juries Of
the exposition have finished their work and
submitted reports to the group jurles. The
latter have passed upon the reports thus far
presented, making very few changes. Moth
ing is officially known Of the result, but it is
unofficially stated that the Americans have
obtained more prizes than the citizens of any
country in proportion to the number of ex-
hibitors. In one class all American exhibit
tors have obtained medals, and in another, all
except one. 1t is thought the United States
will have FIVE or six grand prizes, and a lib
eral number of gold medals. Foreign jurors
have expressed much admiration for the ex-
cellence of articles in the American section of
the exhibition. The general commission has
increased the number Of gold medals twenty
per. cent, silver medals forty, and bronze
medals sixty per cent.
