the NATIONAL scouRcE.

It is estimated that the annual dam.
ages CAUSED by the ravsees of insects
aud worms exceed $50, DOC. 900 in the
United States alone. Truly an enor.
nous loss! Yet it sinks into insignifi-
canoe when compared with the ravsges
of that more terrible scourge, Con-
sumption, which annually sweeps hun.
dreds OF thousands Of human souls into
eternity. The causes of consumption
are various, depending in every in.
stance for the Development of the dis
ease upon the scrofulous diathesis, or
temperament. Of the victim. Thus the
same cause which will produce in one
person IN attack of acute disease or .
slight nervous prostrstion, will engen
der consumption in person Of scroful-
Gus habit. That consumption can be
cured by proper treatment will be readi-
ly perceived when the exact nature OF
the disease is understood. viz. the &C.
emulation and deposition OF scrofolous
matter (tubercles) in the lungs. OBJ
viously. the principal remedies requir-
ed are ~ q powerful Alternative, or
blood purifier, to arrest the accumula-
tions and also cleanse the blood of the
scrofulous matter, and (2)a mild ca
thaTtic to expel the diseased matter
from the system. This course Of treat
ment, in conjunction with strict by.
gienic regime, has proved the most
successful method OF curing this dis
ease. DR.. Piercc's Golden Medical Dis
covery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets
are the Alternative and cathartic remed-
les before the public. and have been
alone used in thousands Of cases Of
consumption with the most marked ef-
ficscy. Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel. at
Buffalo. N. Y. affords special and un-
e9ualed advantages to consHmptives,
not only possessing the best medical
aad hyeienic means Of treatment. but
having the essential advantage of be-

hsbitants are notably free from this

Mr.. TiIden's Denial.

MIR. Tilden has been goaded into putting
forth denial. He dsclaims all knowledge
of the cipher dispatches or of attempts to
buy up electoral votes or canvassng boards
in the disputed States. The denial has all
the weight which attaches to his word.
But Mr.. Tilden's denial explains nothing.
1t disproves none of the testimony brought
against him. He does not attempt to dispute
the genuineness of the cipher dispatches nor
the correctness of the translations offered by
the Tribune. He does not explain why the
dispatches were received at his house or sent
therefrom. He does not tell how it happens
that his nephew and confidential secretary
had to do with them. He simply denies that
he had any knowledge of them. What other
wise would he naturally do? No one sup
posed that he would come forward and ac-
knowledge that he was guilty of an attempt
to brbe electors. There is scarcely sus-
pected criminal in our courts who confesses
to the charge brought against him. No one
supposed that he would long keep silent, for
silence Is confession. But his friends did
hope and his enemies fear that he would
bring forward some evidence to sustain his
denial, that he would at least make an at
tempt to explain how these kilograms came
to and went from his house.
Those who choose to take the word of Mr..
Tilden in preference to proof strong as any
writ except holy, will of course believe him
guiltless of an attempt to buy the Presidency.
But no others can. What unprejudiced man
can bring himself to believe for moment
that Mr.. Tiden was ignorant of the negotia-
tions conducted by his personal friends; by
men whom he sent to Florida and South
Carolina to look after his interest, who were
in daily correspondence with his household,
and who received their directions from his
private secretary? Who authorized his neph-
ew, Mr.. Pelton, the head of the famous lit
erary bureau, and his confidant in all the
operations of the campaign, to offer $4,000
Tor the decision of a canvassing board in
Florida and $4,000 for the vote of an elector
IN South Carolina? Who furnished the money
for these bribes2 Surely not Mr.. Pelton, for
he had neither the authority nor the money.
1t is altogether improbable, it is well.nigh
impossible that these negotiations should be
conducted by members of Mr.. Tilden's house
hold without his knowledge. 1t is well
known that from the first he took personal
charge of the campaign. 1t is to be believed
that he withdrew from all active partcipa-
tion in it at its most critical moment ? Is it
probable that his personal friepds, Marble,
Wooley and the others, conducted negotia-
tions tor electoral votes without his knowl-
edge, and pledged themselves to pay great
sums of money without knowing whence the
money was to come from?
Until Mr.. Tilden offers explanation as well
as denial, he must be held guilty Of an at.
tempt to buy his way to the White House.
The evasion of the payment of income tax
and other actions with which he is discredit-
ably connected have taught people that it is
not safe to place implicit confidence in his
unsupported word.

Magazine NOtiees.

The November Atlantic opens with an article
on The Nationals, their Origin and their Aims,
by the very able writer whose paper in the Oc-
tober number on the Dangerous Tendencies Of
American Life has attracted so much attention
and comment. The opinions, grievances, illu-
sions and hopes Of representatives of the new
party are given in their own words, and the
writer adds thereto, briefly, but clearly and
forcibly, few facts not included in the CONVEX
sations reported. There are two other articles
OF great present interest: one on Presidential
Elections, answers the..question, Why was the
electoral system ever introduced? and recounts
the various measures which have been dis
cussed to obviate the perils Arising from dis
puted election; the other, by Mr.. Brooks
Adams, treats of the Oppressive Taxation Of
the Poor. The opening chapters of Mr.. How
ells's new story, The Lady of the Aroostook,
are given, showing this charming writer at his
best, and how good that Sest is no reader of the
Atlantic need to be told The Star in the
Valley, one of the best short stories
of the year, completes the fiction Of
the number. The second paper on the
Home Life of the Brook Farm Association
rivals the first in interest Charles Eliot Nor
ton contributes Florence, and st. Mary of the
Flower, study of the art and history Of the
city during two centuries There is an un-
signed paper, An Impressionist at the Paris
Exposition; Mr.. Richard Grant Whites fifth
paper on Americanisms is given, and the criti-
cal article of the number is devoted to Some
Recent Books of Travel. As usual, the maga-
zine Is strong in its poetical department. Mr..
W. w. Story adds to his Roba di Roma bal
cony scene full of humor, between a Romeo and
Juliet of to-day. Mr.. Edgar Fawcetts, A
White Camellia. Mrs. Spofford's An Old Song.

is unusually rich and varied in contents, and,
amongst other topics, treats of English and
American Acting of The Poetasters of our
Time, Mormon Poetry A New Pronoun Want

A Boston man and his aesthetic daughter are

the father requested his daughter to read to

"What shall read about?" queried the Bos-

"Read the European news" responded the
father.

A LEADING and educated Chinaman,
Kwang Chang Ling, is writing letters to Cal
ifornia journals. in which he tells us much
about China that we have not hitherto
known. For instance, that the popula-
ton is only 1O0,OOO,OOO, or 100000 900 in
stead of 45o,OOO,OOO, as generally reported /;
that the country has reached the limit of
agricultural development; that the popula-
ton and prosperity have been decreasing
since 1761; that unless improved machinery
and methods are adopted from the Western
countries, the people will not able to support
themselves, since they are already as poor,
as possible and live; that the wealth of the
Empire is in the hands of the few, and that
with diminishing population and increasing
wages at home there can be no great tide of
immigration to this country, so Americans
need have no fear.

these stirring words:
"Not through broken promises and debased
coin, not through wild illusions and financier-

our public expenditures, through honest gov
ernment, through an equitable distribution of
the burden of taxation, through increased pro-
duction and providing of markets. for the same,
lies the way TO the re-establishment of the nros-
perity of our nation and the advancement Of its
greatness and glory"
