Easy to Be Cynical.

1t is such an easy thing to be cynical,
we wonder that any sensible or ambi-
tious man should choose a manifestly
easy road to cheap distinction. Any
fool can be cynic. And great many
fools are cynics. Not that they make the
best, which are the worst cynics, but
they do very well well enough to make
everybody in their company decidedly
uncomfortable, which appears to be the
great aim of the cynic's life. When a
man does a good deed, you simply sup
ply base motive for it. Attribute his
benevolence to selfshness, his pHety to
hypocrisy, his sociability to political
motives, his public spirit to deg;re for
notoriety. Deny the very existence of
purely good, unselfish motives to any
man other than yourself, and you have
started on the road to develop into q
good cynic. Huntington HaWkeys,

Samuel Jones Tilden is now busily

The Presidents condition this morning is
decidedly encouraging, and the feeling among
physicians, nurses and friends is that if this
improvement can be maintained for forty-eight
hours there will be reasonable ground for con-
fdence in ultimate recovery. The one draw
back to this hopeful outlook consists in the
fact that fears are entertained of the
formation of assesses upon the lungs
a complication that has been dreaded ever
since the existence of blood-poisoning became
fully established. One of the surgeons Is re-
ported as having said that in sounding the
Presidents chest somewhat dull response was
produced by the percussion, and that there was
reason TO fear that this was indicative of alb
scess formation on the lungs,-a state of things
certain to prove fatal unless speedily checked.
