The HancOek-TfIden Affair.

NEW YORK, July 10-Thus far General
Hancock has kept silence upon the
charge, made upon the authority of some
of his most prominent supporters, that
he was ready in 1877 to join Samual j.
Tilden in organizing arevolntiOn against
the lawfully constituted authorities of
the United States And since the matter
became publicly known and the people
fairly began to understand that Mayor
General Of the United States Army was
capable of entering into such a scheme,
General Hancock's friends have kept
pretty quiet too. They begin 70 see that
an argument which worked wonders in
cauctises of,northern BourboBs and I'M
reconstructed rebels might be a very
poor one to use with the law-abiding
voters of the country. But now the
whole story is out, thanks to the bah
bling of Vermont Democrat by the
name of Atkins, and the foolish frank
ness of General w. F. Smith, of this
city. They have laid bare the truth,

Proportions Of the Human Fig
IRE.

The proportions OF the human fig
ure are six times the length of the
feet Whether the form is slender or
plump, the rule holds good. Any
deviation from it is a departure from
the highest beauty in proportion.
The Greeks made all their statutes
according to this rule. The face from
the highest part of the forehead,
where the hair begins, to the chin, is
one-tenth Of the stature. The hand,
from the wrist to the middle forefn-
ger, is the same. From the top OF
the chest to the highest point OF the
forehead is a seventh. IF the face,
from the roots of the hair tn the chin
is divided into three equal parts, the
first division determines the place
where the eyebrows meet, and the
second the place of the nostrils. The
height from the feet to the top of the
head is the distance from the extrem-
ity of the fingers when the arms are
extended.

Fashion is often the result of &C
eident. A South End woman's hat
blew off the other day and was run
over by a horse. car, a hack and a
wheelbarrow, besides being stepped
upon four times, before she recovered
it. She had to wear it home though,
and seven milliners who saw it thought
it was a new style, and went to max
ing hats with just the same jams in
them.

fertility of their respective provinces.

and in eight days you will have a pair

The Only Easy Place.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher some
time since received letter from a
young man who recommended himself
very highly as being honest, and
closed with the request: Get me an
easy situation that honesty may be
rewarded" To which Mr.. Beecher
replied: DON'T be an editor, if YOU
would be easy Do not try the law.
Avoid schoolkeeping. Keep ont of
the pulpit. Let alone all ships. stores.
shops and merchandise. Ahhor poll
tics. Keep away from lawyers. Be
not "a farmer nor mechanic, neither a
so der nor a sailor. Don't study.
Don't think. Don't work. None of
them are easy. Oh my honest friend.
you are in very hard worldl | know
of but one easy place in it. That il,

Mr.. EngIish's Mortgages.
From the Nation.

One OF the principal campaign
stories" Of the week is that Mr.. Eng.
lish has, during the past three Or four
years, foreclosed considerable NUN
Der Of mortgages III Indiana to re-
cover payment Of small loans. This
discovery was made by the Cincinnati
Commercial, and many Of our esteem
ed Republican contemporaries seem to
think it a very valuable one. Some Of
them have given up nearly whole
page to the list Of foreclosures. Mr..
English seems. like other men. to be
IN the habit Of investing considerable
sums on mortgage, which is usually
considered business transaction. the
OBJECT of the mortgage being to enable
the creditor to get his money back in
case the interest is not paid. But the
esteemed Republican, contemporaries
seem to think that the mortgage is
something which is drawn up either.
Tor fun or to save the debtors dignity,
and which no creditor Fit to be Vice
President would think of taking seri-
ously. So when Mr. English treats
his as real security and enforces it,
they denounce him as humbug and
hypocrite, and as mo poor mans
Iriend.' This is sorry business for a
paper like the Cincinnati Commercial
10 take up, and would be much better
'nited to Denis Kearney's organ.
When the editor takes mortgage we
wonder what he does with it,
