the vivacious young woman-''it won't

the first chapter, and read carefully and
leisurely along. 1t was about nine
O'Clock when he commenced, and an
hour passed silently away, when the
book agents began to show signs Of ner-
vousness, which were apparently unno-
ticed by the broker, for he never took
his eyes from the volume, but read on
steadily. Eleven o'clock came, and the
lady began to walk smsrtly around the
room, glancing occasionally out Of the
windows. At noon the broker was still
reading, and the agent wore decided

Tiids.,s Chance. lnapr.vi.s,

The Washington "Star" says that An
officer Of the House of Representatives,
who has been visiting Long Branch,
Saratoga, and other places where poll
ticians congregats, says that he Is salts:
fed that the drift Of sentiment amongtLs
Democratic leaders Is fast being orys-
talized in favor Of Mr.. Tildsn's nomins-
tion for the Presidency. This isnot be-
cause he is popular, but because It is
thought he is the strongest candidate
to lead the Democratic Presidential
ticket. The aame authority says that
Justice Field, Of the United States Su-
prems Court, has hopes Of the nomina-
ton, and has now his agents on the
Pacific Coast and in the West, working
up sentiment in his favor; and furth-
or that the assault Of Cyrus W. Field
upon Mr.. Tilden was with q view to
destroy the latter in order to build up
his brother, the Judge" Notwithstan.
ding this view Of the case We still hold
to the opinion that Tildsn will be no.
where after the New York election in
November, II the State goes Rspubli-
can, as there Is every reason to believe
1t will. The New York election will
kill of Tilden, the Ohio election will kill
off Thurman, and it may be that the
Indiana election will kill of Hendricks
for no Presidential candidate can
hope for nomination If his State goes
against him.
