A correspondent of the New York Sun, gives two reasons why MT. Tilden should be put Tn nomina- tion for the Presidency, the second of which IS well worthy the consider ation of the people who believe in deeds rather than words. He says
 There are many reasons given by writers from various parts of the country why Mir. Tilden should be again be put in nomination for the presidency, chief among them the fraud by which he was prevented from occupying the high position to which it is now generally conceded he was rightfully elected. These reasons are in many cases good ones. There is one other reason, however which the writer hereof does not re. member to have seen noted--one which stands out clear and high above all others--one of which is of more importance to the people of this nation tLan all the others put to- gether. That is, that Mir. Tilden has placed upon the public records of this State and city more evidence that he possesses the kind of qualillca- tions necessary in official position to correct abuses in the administration of government than any other man whose name is before the people. If this Is disputed, let us have the name of the Democrat who stands as high to does Ml TildeA n tAia rvg ald

Man's Judgement of Woman's
 Dress.

During this trial Mir. uerschell asked mo whether l thought that the description of I lady's dress was q matter of public interest MT. Her
 schell is an exceedingly able gentle man, but he knows little of ladlcs if he is under the impression that they take more interest Tn the law of ly- pothec, and other such matters, than
 in what this and that lady wears. Nor does any lady object to seeing an account of her custumc in print. On the contrary, she likes 1t, As 1 told him, could not myself wrIto Q description of a lady's dress. Few men, unless they are miliners, could. Women dress for women; man may have q general idea that lady looks very nice on some particular occasion, but the why and wherefore is beyond him. For instance, tho other day saw ono of the beauty ladies of the season arrayed in q bodice which seemed to fit her as though it had been molded on her, 1 could sec no fastenings, either be- fore or behind, so l asked her how she got into it. It is, she said, "thc Mercier cuirasse," and 1 went away with the conviction that the "Mer- cier cuirasse" shows off to perfection fine figure, and that the lady in question was very becomingly dressed, though were 1 asked to describe her ''cuirasse," or her bon
 net or even the color of her dress, I could not, tried, indeed, to de- scribe this cuirassc to Q lady, and so signally failed that she evidently took me for an utter fool Mir. Her schelrs cross-cxamination has, how eyer put me in good humor with my self. If so able gentleman con siders all female attire as matter of absolute unimportance to every man, woman aud child in tho United Kingdom,.I shall not risk being sent to an idiot asylum for my imperfect knowledge of it's mysteries. What ever others may say Mr. IIerschcll and I shall pride ourselves on our bliss,ul ignorance, London Truth.

If you want to get rid of sprouts, briars, bushes shrubs, young trees, etc, that are ill the pastures and meadows on the farm, go ot them now with all your force. Clean them thoroughly, and you will get rid of them. From the middle of July to the middle of August IS the best time to do effective work against such Instructions and eye-sorcs on the farm. Every field on the farm ought to be freed from all obstruc- tions to moving and reaping ma chimes. Now when the fields are cleared of their crops is Q good time to clean them up thoroughly. If pastures are cleaned, the moving machines can be run over them to cut down dog fennel, iron weeds and other weeds that are a great injury to the pastures. Nearly all of the pastures in the west could be made to carry double the stock they now do, by thicker seeding, and keeping weeds, briars. and brush cleaned out of them.-Rural world.

POWER OF MEMORY.

In his recent lecture on Memory"
Ralph Waldo Emerson gives many most
interesting facts. Among other things
he said: :. Nearly all of the worlds most
remarkable orators, poets. statesmen,
wits. soldiers. philosophers. scientists,
&c, were men of tenacious memory.
Quintillion had said that memory was
genius. While this was true in the main
it did not always follow that men of
genius possessed it. Isaac Newton was
a remarkable exception. He could not
remember oftentimes his own great works
without trouble, and Newton's genius
was urdoubtcd. Themistocles on the
other hand remembered everything. Il
would rather teach you how to forget
everything" was the reply. But this
was wit and not reason, said the lecturer.
1t has been said that the affections or feel
DRY. The senses or passions lead men to
remember. Napoleon cared nothing for
Alexandrine verse, but not one line of his
army returns was ever absent from his
mind Scipio knew nearly every man by
face and name i'll his army. Seneca could
repeat 1000 words of a poem only once
heard. Mithridatcs, who commanded
an army made up of all the nations
of the globe, converscd i'll all their
representative languages. The Prince o;

staining by out of curiosity during the
roll-call of one of his regiments. llav-
ing heard much of Grotius' memory, he
asked him ii he could remember the
names which had been reading. GrotiuS
astounded the Prince by giving all the
names in inverse order. \ great scholar
had once been deprived by an enemy of u
much loved book. His enemy thought
he had conquered, but the scholar rewrote
the book from memory. and deiled the
enemy. As q further illustration of IL
memory being strong when the feelings
are enlisted, the lecturer said man never
forcets a debt due himself. nor. as DIR.
johnson says. who kicked him last. The
late John Brown, of Ossawatomie and
Harpers Ferry fame, was fond of shet u
farming, and had at one time 5000 sheep.
raeh one of which he could single out
from any flock into which 1t might have
strayed, In his own town of Concord his
nei.hbor Able Norton. who dealt In
horses and was very fond Of them, could
remember at glance any one of the hLn-
drels of animals that he had ever seen.
Horses which had been sent years ago to
various parts of Massachusetts by Mr..
Norton sometimes came back to Concord
aud xroro at opca rsfrnonizpd nv him nc !
they were driven along the street.
