TILDEN sNIHDICA ATION. Some Dem
ocratic editors, justly indignant over the
electoral frauds of 1876, insist that Mr..
Tiiden is entitled to the vindication Of a
second nomination. This is certainly
very creditable as q matteTOf sentiment,
but politics is a matter of business and
not OF sentiment. There would certain
ly be no vindication of Mr.. Tilden un-
less Re should happen to be elected. He
cannot be elected without the vote of
New York. lie cannot get the vote OF
New York so long as he encounters the
opposition of John Kelly and the Tam
many Democrats. With the assistance
of John Kelly and the Tammany Dem
ocrats almost any other acceptable Dem
Ocrat can carry New York and be elect
ed. 1t is therefore question of defeat
with Mr.. Tilden on the one hand, or of
success with some other Democrat and
the question for Mr.. Tilden's friends to
determine is whether his vindication
would not be the more overwhelming in
a Democratic victory under some one
else than in Democratic defeat under
his own leadership. "What," ." say Mr..
Tilden's friends. will you make John
Kelly the practical dictator of the Dem
Ocratic party ?'' This may he very eff
fectually answered by the statement that
it was Mr.. Tilden himself who made
John Kelly master of the situati ion. when
he drove him to the wall last fall and
placed him in a position from which
there can be no honorable retreat. It
is unfortunate that it is so, but that does
not alter the fact of the case. AS to the
dictation OF Tammany it amounts simply
to the declaration that they will support
anyother Democrat but Sam1 J. Tilden.
and him they will oppose to the bitter
end and with a degree of success of
which they afforded the party IN illus
tratiOn in the defeat Of Gov. Robinson

The Empress Engenie.

Eugene de Montijo, Countess of
Teba, was a beautiful woman of 81,
who had had a youth of vicissitudes,
and wal we'll known in many capitals
for her beauty, grace and rank, which,
having no fortune to support them,
gained her and her mother only the nm
deserved title of adventuresses. The
malice of party has ragged fercely
against this lady's name, but there is
not a particle of proof to sustain it.
Her ability, her affectionate devotion to
the interests of her family and her re-
hgious fervor are, SO far as the world
knows, as unquestionable IS her beauty
and her personal charm. No Queen in.
history has better fulfilled a Queens
duty as leader of the fashions;
while she reigned, the dress Of
women was. at once beautiful, decent,
and convenient. Hers was the prettiest
face, the most graceful bearing, the most
winning smile, in all that dazzling court
of the Fuileries.o But she had a Span
iard's love of political intrigue, and an
Andalusian's bigotry, and she contrib
uted powerfully to engage her husband
in the evil way that led his policy to
Rome and his army to Sedan. There
is a story told by Arsene Houssaye-
certainly no u%nfriendly chronicler-
that at the Cabinet Council called to de-
eide the question of peace and war
after the final interview of Benedetti
with King William at Ems, the pacee
party carried the day, and the Emperor
went to bed. But the Empress, being
left behind with the council, won over
to her, warlike views the gallant De
Grammont and the absurd Leboeuf, and
reversed the decision, and then went in
triumph to the Emperor's chamber.
where he was sleeping the sleep of the
just, and gained his assent to the fatal
declaration which was made next day
by the jaunty De Grammont, with his
hands in his pockets, and by Oliver
with his c9ur leger.- -Harper's Maya

A sample Case.

In 1868, a malignant form of erysipe-
las suddenly broke out in n of the
largest surgical wards of the Asylum
Hospital at Baton Rouge, La, which
contained at that time yer 900 pa
tients.
The physician in charge and the
Medical Inspector in the United States
Army having made a thorough e1amin-
alton of the hospital, outbuildings and
entire Enclosure, found everything
scrupulously neat and clean, and could
discover no cause for the outbreak.
But on going outside of the Enclosure
they found that, in consequence of a de-
feet in the drain, the water in which
the soiled garments and bed-clothes OF
the patients were cleaned, had poured
out and spread over an acre of ground.
Here was the cause. The germs of
the disease, having multiplied a thou
sand-fold in the accumulated filth, were
taken up and borne by the wind to the
hospital. And it was a corroborative
fact that those occupying beds nearest
the overflow were the first infected;
and that from these the disease spread
from bed to bed. On removing the
cause the epidemic was arrested.

Power Of Sea Breakers.

From experiments which were made
some time since at the Bell Rock and
Skerryvore lighthouses, ON the coast OF
Scotland, it was found that, while the
force of the breakers on the side of the
German ocean may be taken at about a
ton and a half upon every square foot
of surface exposed to them, the Attain
tic breakers fall with double that
weight, or three tons to the square
foot; and thus a surface of only two
square yards stistains a blow from a
heavy Atlantic breaker equal to about
ffty-four tons. In November, 1924, a
heavy gale blew, and blocks of lime
stone and granite, from two to five tons
in weight, were washed about like peb-
bles at the Plymouth breakwater.
About 300 tons of such blocks were
borne a distance of 200 feet, and up the
inclined plane of the breakwater, car
ried wei 1t, and scattered in various
directions. A block of limestone, seven
tons in weight. was in one place washed
n djstance'of 100 feet. Blocks of three
tons weight were torn away by a single
blow of q breaker, and hurled over into
the harbor; and one of two tons, strong.
ly trenailed down upon a jetty, was
torn away by an overpowering breaker

4 Moment Of Terrible Suspense.

Mr.. Jerome, Of West Waterford, N. Y.
had reached the center of the railroad
bridge at Cohoes when a train came
laundering along. There was no room
to stand on the side of the track, no
time to return, his only safety being in
dropping down beneath the ties and
hanging suspended over the. river fifty
feet beneath. Bracing himself fol-, the
strain, he let himself down, clasping
his arms tightly about the cross-piece.
The train having pessed, he found that
he lacked strength to lift himself up
again. He shrieked for aid and tried
in vain to draw himself up by the
strength of his rms. His hold was
weakening and death seemed near. He
was about relinquishing his grasp and
resigning himself to his fate when he
heard a cry of encouragement. He
rallied his forces for another struggle.
Bnt his fingers were slipping, his hold
relaxing. His hope was gone. when he
felt his arms grasped, and he was saved.
When drawn up he was unable to stand.

A Woman's COnstancy.

A young physician in California was
engaged to be married to a young lady
in a Southern State, and as a keepsake
sent her a small nugget of gold. He
was prosperous, and the wedding was
set for an early date, but a sudden fall
in his circumstances reduced him to
poverty. Too honorable to hold the
young lady to her promise in his altered
circumstances, he reluctantly and with
many a heart-pang wrote releasing her
from her engagement. But the young
lady had a brave heart, and resolved on
keeping her promise, in spite of the
change in her lovers position. She
took the little nugget of gold and had
it made into a ring, which she sent to
the young physician. On the ring was
the inscription: "Entreat me not to
leave thee; for whittier thou goest, I will
go; and whittier thou lodgest, I will
lodge; thy people shall be my people,
and thy God my God; the Lord do SO
to me, and more also, if aught but
death part thee and me-" ruth IL, 16.)

The court-martial sentenced hinc to be,

conviction was forwarded to Gen.
Hooker for his approval. "A short

"Not a thing. The proof against
