A Certificate of MIR. TiIden's.
Health.

To the Editor of the New York
Herald:-At the request of many
personal friends of Samuel j. Tilden,
[ desire to correct a statement first
made by Mr.. Tilden's enemies and
wolves in sleeps clothing" pro-
nOuncing bin "a physical wreck and
unfit for the campaign" l have
known Mr.. Tilden intimately for sew
eral years, and as a frequent visitor at
Creamery park permit me to assure
the public that Mr.. Tilden is in the
enjoyment of most excellent health,
and is physically and mentally as Wig
orous as he was when in the prime of
life, and With his iron constitution he
is capable Of greater endurance
at his venerable age than most
men are at the age Of forty.
Therefore, be it known to his
friends, and enemies as we'll, that the
venerable statesman of Gramercy park
is more than sufficiently strong, both
physically and mentally, to endure the
pressure and hardships of half a dozen
presidential campaigns, as the stand
ard bearer Of his party. No person,
friend or foe, can truthfully contra
dict this statement. Those people
who see him in daily life as l do, in
his robust health, doing the work of
at least three men, without seeming
fatigue, and then entertaining his
friends, riding upon horseback, and
enjoying recreation and amusement,
through all Of which he proudly
rides like a C%entaur, they are my
witnesses to these facts, and all pro-
nounce him to-day a tower of strength
whose fine physique will still with
stand the foul blasts from Ohio, and
where yer now victory awaits him.
Respectfully, VIM. MoLLER.

EDITOR LEDGER "A few days AGO
the Appeal had an editorial in regard
to the importation into this country of
tropical fruits, and manifested a great
deal of fear and trepidation in regard
to lemons and bananas and spiders
and spider webs in them. This alarm
manifested by the Appeal does not to
my mind seem consistent with the
facts connected with yellow fever. In
1888 some sixty.three persons
sick with yellow fever were carried
from our river landing to the hospital,
and placed Unfortunately among the
other patients-and no ease of yellow
fever resulted from any of the sixty
odd cases. This shows conclusively
that we ought to beware of lemons.
In 1855 we had yellow fever, com
mencing in August, aud remaining
almost entirely south of Union sire ct.
The fact of its being in the city where
there was a constant intermingling of
the people, and never crossing Union
street north, demonstrates that there
is great danger in bananas. In 1867
we have the fever again; and it con-
fined its operations to a few squares
contiguous to the Charleston depot.
Here again the people went through
the infected district as freely and
fearlessly as they did any other por-
ton Of the city, and the disease failed
to spread. This is a convincing argu-
ment there is a great danger in spiders
hid away in tropical fruit.
In 1873 we had a severe epidemic of
yellow fever, but the trans run O n
regular time and no steamer avoid
ed the city on account of the pes
thence; and yet the fever was
not carried away from Memphis. This
is indubitable evidence that a moder-
ate sized spider web will hold a half
bushel of poisonous germs.
In 1879 we had an epidemic, and
Notwithstanding the quarantine, the
opportunities afforded Tor the fever to
spread, if computed, would reach far
into the thousands, and yet it failed
to get away from the city, except to an
insignificant extent. All Of this
proves conclusively that it is danger

In 1878 the fever did spread, but |
would like for the Appeal to tell us

characteristics of the disease in the
five years in which it did not spread,
or in the one year in which it did

New York Real Estate Advancing

The great auction sale of real estate
in New York, by order of the Mutual
life insurance company, demonstrated
very oonelusively that the era of low
prices for that description of property
was passing away. The sale took
place a few days ago. 1t comprised
two hundred and forty-ave plots of
ground, of which fifteen pieces only
wereimproved. The aggregate amount
realized was six hundred and sixty>
one thousand, FIVE hundred and
twenty dollars, the total sum coming
very nearly up to the estimates put
upon the property. A still further
proof of the reaction that has set in is
the reported advance in rents. By an
old custom, which one would think
you'd be more honorable in the
breach than the observance" May Day
in New York is moving day, and
there is consequently a very consider
able shifting Of tenants. BY these an
nual household fittings the rent
charges are fixed for the current year
and from inquiries already made it has
been ascertained that the advance will
range from twenty to thirty per cent

close,
