PRESIDENTIAL PRoBABLTTIEs--N New
York, Aug. 14.-The Tribune's staff
correspondent, who is close observer Of
the field Of national politics, asserts that
Tilden will certainly be the candidate of
the Democrats He is much stronger
than a few months ago. from the opera
ton Of wire pulling agencies. People
scarcely speak of Bayard as being a can
didate nowadays. Everybody sees that
Ewing has destroyed Thurman. AS for
Hendricks, he will be lucky if he gets
the second place on the ticket. All the
talk Of Joel Parker, Mcclellan, David
Davis Or Justice Field, is without founda-
ton. Among the Republicans Conkling
is scarcely counted as possible nominee.
Four names are in everybody's mouth
Grant, Blaine, Sherman and Washburn
Only twoofthese can be said, ,however,to be
actually contesting the field. Washburne
must be looked upon only as a highly
available compromise candidate. The
Grant boom has spent its force, but there
remains formidable sentiment in his
favor. The contest at present is undoubt-
edly between Blaine and Sherman, and
as both are warm friends fusion of their
admirers is easy in case some dark horse
develops strength.

BURIED IN HER WEDDING DRESS. "A
correspondent writing from Anderson,
Shasta county, Cal. under date of July
26, says: II was in attendance on a
funeral yesterday which was melancholy
in the extreme. A young girl named
Stull died with intermittent fever She
had been sick only one week, and was
engaged to be married to a young man
named Harrington. The wedding was to
have come off Sunday. The young man
wept bitter tears Of grief The deceased
had just completed her wedding dress,
and instead Of a marriage robe it served
as burial shroud.''

TROUBLE WITH THE MoRMoNs.-NEW
YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Heralds Washing
correspondent states that a cabinet off
Ger apprehends trouble growing out of
the Mormon question. 1t appears as if
the government would have to put it's foot
down with emphasis. There are six
companies Of the Fourteenth Infantry at
Fort Douglas, and more could be readily
concentrated there. The tenor of the dis
patches from Utah show an irritated con-
dition of the administration are known,
they are not calculated to soothe the feel
ings of the Mormon elders.

From the San Francisco Alta, August 3.

From the oan Francisco Alta August ..
We give the following letter from a
private letter of General Grant to a per
sonal friend III our city. It was written
under date Of Toxic, Japan, July 16:
owe expect to sail on the City of To-
kio, which is to leave here for San Fran
cisco on the 18th of August. We have
now been in Japan nearly month, the
guests of the nation, and have received
the most unbound hospitalities. Our
first stop in the country was at Nagasaki
where we remained week. 1t was con-
tinuous ovation while we remained. From
Nagasaki we came up through the inland
sea to Yokohama, anchoring at night, so
as to lose no part of the scenery. It is
grand beyond description, and strongly
in contrast with what we had left in
China. Ia Japan the country is noun
famous and green and fresh to the very
summit Of the highest hills. In China,
so far as the foreigner usually sees tit
is flat, desert-looking dust OF mud plain
depending upon whether it is the dry
or rainy season-without anything to re-
leve the eye. The scenery up through
the inland sea is very grand, and we got
as good view of it as is possible from
the deck of q steamer, but we did not
land anywhere. The cholera had broken
out a few days before our arrival all along
the borders of the sea, and was carrying
off the people by hundreds. : \
What said at Penang on the Chinese
question was without previous thought
OF preparation | had no idea what the
the address to me was to be until it was
read in the presence of an assembly.
The response had to be spontaneous, and
now | see nothing in particular to alter
OF to take back. The fact is, the Chinese
Government are very anxious to keep all
their people at home, and, if not inter
ferrediwith, they will stop emigration.

by the joint executive committee, have
agreed to discontinue making special con-
tracts for certain lots or quantities of
freight at tariff rates or less than tariff
rates. Shippers will get ten days notice

time all their engagements must be fill

IF Alexander Mitchell wants the deme-
cratic nominationfor governor he undoubt
edly can have it. Not that the democrats
want Mitchell, himself, particularly, but
theydesire to get possession Of his barrel.
They have an idea that if Mr.. Mitchell
were to accept the nomination he would
bleed profusely, and the candidate who
will do this is the favorite nag just now
among democrats. The shrewd and willy
Scotchman probably understands this and
will not be caught III any such trap.

to JEFF. Davis evasive replies to New

tor anybody to deny that Jefferson Davis
IS candidate for the United States Sem
ate, in the United States Senate, in the
same sense in which nine-tenths of those
who are elected to public office are candi-
dates. And no one at all familiar with
the course of political events at the South
will dispute the fact that he truly repre-
sents the dominant public sentiment at
the South, and that his views and the
views Of the Democrats who sustain him
have undergone no change since 1851

IHF YOUNG GIRL WHOSE BEAUTIFUL
FACE APPEARS ON THE SILVER DOLLAR.
-PHILADELPHIA, August 11-An in
teresting story in connection with the
new silver dollar just come to light here.
The secret has come out through The
Record newspaper, as to who the young
lady was that sat to Mr.. Morgan, the de-
signer, as model for the head which ap-
pears on the coin. The lady who has
thus been raised to fame, and whose
name will be chronicled in history, is
Miss Anna w. Williams, residing with
her widowed mother at 1,023 Spring
Garden street, in this city. In 1876,
when Mr. Morgan was making designs
for the coin, he was introduced to the
lady by Mr.. Thomas Eakins, friend of
the family. He desired to have a true
representative of American beauty en-
blazoned upon the coin, and the profile
of Miss Williams appeared to him as the
approach to it he had seen. The lady
who is of a very modest and retiring dis
position, was induced to sit and after
four or five interviews, sufficient sketches
had been procured to proceed with the
work. The artist wrought up the face
atterward to its present appearance, as it
is shown upon the coin. 1t would be
impossible to recognize in it any resemb-
lance to Miss Williams. The Grecian
nose and the delicate lips had their foun-
dation in her features, but the full round
ed chin resembles more that Of the wife
of Mr.. Morgan. Miss Williams is a
blonde and is considered quite pretty.
She is a teacher in girls department Of
the House Of Refuge, and about Is years
of age. This sets at rest the numerous
stories which have been in circulation as
to whom the face on the coin belongs to.

that amount S24, 900 was intended for the raft
