Down ON Tiiden.

Cyrus W. Fields has been interview
ed by an enterprislng reporter, and
somewhat against his will was made to
tell few things about his old friend
and crony, Samuel J. Tilden, that are
not exactly complimentary to the latter
individual. He said, among other
things "that there is not enough money
in the world to tempt me to have any
thing more to do with Samuel J. Til
dem" at another time during the inter-
view he remarked, "that on no account
whatever, and by no consideration,
could | be induced TO have any more
business transactions Of any sort with
Mr.. Tildsn;" finally, in winding up the
interview he added, 81 repeat that |
cannot express my disgust for his con-
duct. don't mind saying Furthermore,
that am fully prepared to believe that
he knew everything about the cipher
dispatches" 1t seems that Fields
gave him an interest in the elevated
railroad stock held by the latter, and
that Mr.. T. .shamefully abused the conf
dence Of Mr.. Field while the latter was
in Europe. A lawsuit Is about to be
brought against the standing candidate
of the Democracy for President, which
will bring out all the facts in the case,
and which the knowing ones say will
be about as creditable to him as the
famous cipher dispatches themselves

The Dixon Killing.

The Yazoo assassination continues to
attract much attention at Washington.
The mother and brother reside in that
city, and are overwhelmed with grief at
this foul murder. In political circles
the effort to make 1t appear that this
outrage was the result Of personal ami
mosities receives no credit. Even the
Democrats admit that the fear that Dix
on, through his great influence with
the colored race, would defeat the regu-
lar nominee Of the party, was the prime
cause of his slaughter That to allow
such movement to succeed would be 8
precedent which would bring to the
front a crop ofindependent candidates in
every election in the South, and result
in the total overthrow of thenow solid
Democracy which now rules supreme.
Some of the more out spoken do not
hesitate to say that, under the circum-
stances, the killing of Dixon has be-
come political necessity in order to
ensure Democratic success in 1880 in
that section of the state. Private advices
from Mississippi state that further
trou bles is anticipated. as many OF the
friends of Dixon swear they will aveng'
his death, declaring that his antago
mist feared to meet him on equal terms
but shot him down from behind before
Dixon had seen his assailant.

A Dose for Drinkers OF Foreign

WHICH,
JOAQUIN Miller, in "The Independent"
tells how he has seen them making wine
in the old country:
When was living in Italy, on the
shores of the Adriatic, went up into
the mountains among the peasants to
live and learn theis habits OF life. The
poor or laboring people are the real
people of any land. The rich are all
alike. The poor people are the charac.
ier of the country. And then 1t is a
theory of mine that the sweetest flowers
grow close to the ground.
These peasants were wine'makers.
Their splendid dark women climbed
the steep mountains and carried the
grapes Down in the baskets on their
backs; then they empty these baskets
into great round fiat tub or vat, then
they 20 into this great shallow tub, in
short red petticoats, with naked brown
feet; then they join hands and begin
to 20 round and round, singing and
laughing as they went. They wers
treading out the wine. They were black
eyed and beautiful they were light
hearted and happy. They had storms
of black and abundant hair over their
shoulders. They showed the prettiest
white teeth in the world, as they lifted
their happy faces and circled round and
round, and trampled the grapes, until
they stood nee,desp in the wine. AT
first | did not like 70 drink the wine,
because | did not think it was clean
But afterwards watched them at thei'
work more closely, and saw with pleas
urs that they invariably and ALWAYS
washed their feet-after they got done
treading out the wine

Hardly any place presents a more
distressf1l picture, just now, than the
City of Quebec. Financial disturbance
and loss have gone to the most alarm
ing extremes. Mr.. Mason, our Consul
there, reports that by the failure OF
three banks-ths Consolidated, Ex-
change, and Villa Marie-fve million
of Capital have been wholly wiped out,
and there is loss to depositors and
bill holders of SlS0,00O more. The
failure of these banks has so unsettled
public confidence that there is de-
probation in Canadian stocks, deals in
on the exchanges of thirty millions of
dollars, and the bottom does not appear
to have been reached. OF course, the
working classes share the common mis-
fortune and seven thousand are now
out of employment in Quebec and its
suburbs. 1t is fair remark, with
such details as those before us, how
far, after all, the United States has
escaped the heavier calamities Of fnan-
cial disaster. There have been no
such bank failures as these with us.

..The End of Our World"

A lecture, delivered at the Berlin
University some three months ago by
Prof. Dubois Raymond, bears the omin.
GUS title, "The End of Our World,"
and says that every movement upon
our planet, with the exception of the
ebb and flood, which was caused by the
attraction of the moon, is occasioned by
solar heat. As, however, the sun loses
every year portion of his caloric, sci
ence has lately come to the conclusion
that it will not exist as an emitter OF
warmth longer than for seventeen mil
lion years to come. During that space
of time our earth will get colder and
colder, in proportion as the solar heat
shall diminish. The ice will advance
from the poles to the equator; the
earth's populations will gradually re-
cede before the advancing glaciers the
sun will become less and less lumln-
Gus, until it will,present the appear
ancs of dark red ball, and finally
ice will annihilate all vitality on our
planet.

ed. Zach Chandler, whose judgment
is probably as valuable as any ones,

Notwithstanding the frantic efforts Of
the Green back orators and canvassers,
but that much more solid work has
been needed in ths "back counties,
among the rural population. School
house meetings, village debates, the
close and resolute argument for all the
positions taken by the Greenbackers,
are what il needed, Mr.. Chandler
thinks, and he illustrates h $ idea by
the experience in Michigan, where JUS

ar.hb,snop Pu<cell's Troubles.

Archbishop Purcell's Troubles,
are further intensified by the failure OF
the Bussing Banking company Of Gin
cinnati, in which were deposited $S, 900
subscription by Catholic in the east and
elsewhere towards the pay ment of the
reverend gentleman's debts. For the
present, this sum is tied up for a long
time, and as insolvent financial institu.
tions go, will likely be total loss. Mr..
Scanlon, the cashier of the partners,
had been appointed Treasurer of the
Central Committee, having in charge
the receiving and distributing of the
funds collected for the benefit Of the
creditors of the Arch bishop, and when
II was broached in committee meeting
that Mr.. Scanlon should give security,
the idea was laughed at.
There is now no occasion for hllarlty.
There seems to be mysterious fatality
following in the wake of Father Pur-
cells tinanciering. Within the past
year this is the hird,bank in which mon
ey deposited by the Arch bishop to the
credit of creditors has failed. The loss
is in each instance total. lnthe failure
of the latter bank the loss will fall
almost entirely upon the humber men,
bers of the Catholic communion, and
will beget distrust of the honesty Of
bankers, which will seriously affect
the banking interest of Cincinnati.
