THE New York Tribune publishes
elaborate correspondence from Maine in
regard to the canvass in that State, and
sums it up 10y predicting the election of
the Republican candidate by from five to
six thousand majority. 1t bases its
prophesies on the fact that many of the
Republicans who last year voted with
the Greenbackers, are now returning to
the fold on account of the fusion of the
Democracy and Greenback party. While
they were willing to help on the green
back cause they are not disposed to be
made cats paw to rake out Democrat
ic chestnuts. There has been and is
now red-hOt campaign going on in
Maine, and all parties are using their
best efforts for success. One or the other
of the parties will hear something drop
when the election takes place, but the
Tribune is not of the opinion that the
Republicans will come out with shatter-
ell ScalDS

well, covering the laurels of war with
the crowning victories of peace. See to
it that the fruits of your sacrifices and
of the lives of your dead comrades shall
be faithfully preserved. They are the
just heritage of your children's children,
who in centuries to come, as they enjoy
these blessings, shall recount your deeds
and proudly claim that you, their faith
ers, fought and won the worlds great
battle of true liberty, and established
the first nationality based on equal JUS

''By the tears, the march, the battle,
Where the noble fearless died,
While amid the cannon's rattle
Waited angels at their side
"By our children's golden future;
BY our fathers stainless shield,
That which God and heroes left US
We will never, never yield"

Mr. Tilden Buys GreystOne.

N. Y. World, August %.
"GreyStOne," the country seat near
YOnkerS which Mr. Tilden leased with
the privilege of purchase, was sold to
him yesterday for $15O,OCO. The sale
includes the house and about fifty-five
acres of grounds. The place is mile
and half above Yonkers, fronts on
Broadway and extends back to the Hud-
son, with the privilege of the water
front over the Hudson River Railroad.
1t cost $325,OOO, and its purchase for
S15O,OOO is regarded by real estate men
as a great bargain, since any one with
ready money at command can at any
time lay out the lots with advantage.
The former owner was Mr.. Waring, a
well-known contractor for labor in State
prisons, who is now living in the Last,
where he has several contracts for the
manufacture of shoes in State prisons

Regulate the SecretlOns.

In our endeavors to preserve health
it is of the utmost Importance that we
keep the secretory system in perfect
condition. The well-known remedy
Kidney-Wort, has specific action upon
the kidneys, liver and bowels. Use it
instead of dosing with vile bitters or
drastic pills. 1t is purely vegetable, and
is prompt but mild in action.

"MADEHOIsELLE, MY MAMMA
The Interesting IlleOiti,,sate offspring OF
Sarah BernEtardt.

The Interesting IHeOtti,',ate Ofsprin0 OF
Sarah Bernhardt.
Moncure D. Conway writes from London:
do not intend to throw stone at Mile. Bern
hardt. She aud George Eliot, and other emf
nent persons who defy the custums of society,
are competent to judge of right and wrong,
and are free to act. do not judge them.
But what I wish to point out is the social
phenomenon presented when the leaders of a
society which brushes thousands of poor girls
in the mire for illegitimate sexual relations
should at the same time lavish admiration
upon women of the same character who hap
pen to have talent. Sarah Barhardt has
never been married; she has four children;
she brought to London with her, and took in
every fine house where she was entertained,
bright boy who called her "Mademoiselie,
my mamma" There was no concealment
whatever. Fashionable London was at her
feet. It was amply demonstrated that fash
ionable English society does not really re-
spect tie customs which it processes to hold
essential. The sanctity of marriage becomes
more and more thing for the poor and
ignorant--lilxe orthodoxy: It is we'll enough
for common people to fear hell, etc. This
kind Of talk has long been familiar in the
matter of religious dogmas, but it is now seen
to be the underlying sentiment about the
marriage dogma, also.
Sarah Bernhardt is women of real genius.
It believe her to be women of heart, and
hat she has obeyed her heart in these mat
ters wherein it is said to b. more holy to
obey custom. I can understand how the
splendor of genius displayed in her Phedre
could hide multitude of sins even for the
rigidly righteous. But what have observed
of her career among the aristocrats OF Lon
don leads me to feel that it is not through
overlooking her sins or forgetting them, but,
to some extent, because of them, that she
has enjoyed brilliant apotheosis. The con-
slant gossip has lent a piquancy to her pres
ence and the enthusiasm has been quite as
great among those who could not understood
or appreciate her performances.
