NEW YORK, Aug 24-The World prints
an interview With Cyrus w Field. in
which be condemns Tilden's action in
connection with the elevated railroad
in strong terms. He says: Il cannot
express my disgust for his conduct /
do not mind saying. furthermore. that l
am now fully prepared to believe that
he knew everything about those cipher
dispatches. Remember-snd you may
say it in the World as often as you
please-that nothing under heaven
would tempt me ever to have any more
dealings with Samuel Tilden."
NEW YORK. Aug 2l-Referring to
the shooting of Dixon the Tribune says:
Let il DO remembered that he was
Confederate soldier, Democrat and al
exbulldoser. He has fallen by the
same weapon which he formerly used
against the Republicans. and can have
no claim on Northern sympathy like
that of the murdered Chisholm. 1t is
useless 10 deny that his death is due
solely to his political course. Had he
consented to be bulldosed into with
drawing from the field he would be
alive today. His fate emphasizes more
strongly than ever the fact that the
South is ruled by . shotgun despotism
which meets all opposition with death.

Big Feet.

In one Of the recent heavy snow
storms on the Central, traia of
cars was blockaded ten miles from
the nearest dwelling, aud for u
lime it was feared that the most
disastrous Consequences would en-
sue. The engine was powerless,
children were crying for food, and
mothers commenced to grow pale,
when brave-hearted Buffalo girl
came forward and with quiet deter
minatiOn pulled off her shoe.
For q moment the peO
pie stared In amazement, aud
then, as her intention gradually
dawned upon their minds, u wild
shout went up, hurting back de-
fiance in the teeth of the raging
storm. With all possible speed the
shoe was attached TO the fiout OF
the engine, the engineer gained
fresh courage, and, turning on the
steam, the locomotive dashed for
ward, while the novel snow.
plow threw the snow in
high masses to the right
and left. 1t was a desperate
chance, but it succeeded, aud tue
story of the size of the heroic girl'-
foot will be handed down to the
succeeding generations of those
who were on the threatened train.
