AN HONEST WoRLD.-A dozen men
were loafing away the rainy hours in g
business place near the ferry dock, when
the conversation turned upon the subject
of general rascality. A citizen said he
had given boy quarter to get changed,
and had never seen him again: another
said he wouldn't trust his own grand.
mother, and third would give 500 to
see an honest man.
Il have not yet lost my faith in human
nature" finally remarked man ON back
seat. "Any Of you may cali in stranger
to us all, and will give him FIVE dollar
bill to 60 and get changed. If he fails to
come back lose nemoney ; if he returns
you will sec now foolish your assertions
are"
Half dozen men rushed to the door.
A seedy, gaunt and evil.looking African
ves reddl:nS hy "a Tie rain, anu ic was
selected to make the test.
Stranger" said tho man who hadn't
lost confidence, ''take this five dollar bill
around tho corner and get it changed and
I will give you ten cents"
The black man departed without q
word, and for the next ten minutes the
laugh was on the lnan who sent him. It
uieS "w"y, Ho"o'el, as tne African
slo9ched in, handed out the bill, and
said:
81 runned all ober an nobody could
change him."
He was given his ten cents, and the
man who lost the quarter by the boy said
he couldn't have believed such an exhi-
bition of honesty ifhe had not witnessed
it, and he was willing to buy the cider
for the crowd.
1t was only after the cider had been
destroyed and paid fo- that he learned
THAI the bill given the degro was base
counterfeit which no one would accept.

TILDEN's DECIsIoN.-At meeting of

Democratic nomination. During the

from time 10 time, and from the most re-
liable snnrcea, that Mr.. Tildan cnntenr-
plated voluntary but decided relinquis.l-
ment of such honors, but We have no
reason to doubt that, whatever may have
been his intentions or purpoaes, he is now
firmly resolved to ask for denomination.
1t was due to his friends, who might de-
sire to attach themselves to othar candi.
dates In the event of his withdrawal from
the race that he should come to an imme-
diate and positive decision, and this, ne
are informed on unqnestionabIe authori-
ty, he has done. Mr. Tilden is credited
with the possession of great politicsl ca
gacity and almost nnbouaded influence
in his party, but we have no reason to
doubt, Gnd, on the contrary, every reason
10 believe, that unless he can convince
the Cincinnati convention that he can
carry the state of New York he can never
obtain the nominations. He may be able
las the New York Sun, which appears
to be his mouthpiece, asserts--to defeat
any Democrat nominated over hir. or
against his wishes. But even in the iaau
OF such aicontingency, 1t is not possible
