It IS only with the greatest difficulty that his

Mr.. Tilden is in reasonable health.
This is to say, that he is neither an ath-
lete nor cripple. He is immersed in
his own private concerns. He lives at
e Graystone while his house in Grammarcv
Park is being enlarged and reconstruct
ed. When it is finished it will be one
of the two or three mansions in the city
of New York which can be called
splendid. He supervises the work upon
it almost daily. He may be seen three
or four times a week down town, either
at his own offices or at board meetings,
where he is director. He is very
rich man, and an necessarily busy one.
He has no more idea of being the next
President of the United States than the
Chicago Times correspondent has of 60
ing to heaven. He could not be in
duced TO accept any nomination or
public place whatever. He loves his
country, is loyal to his party, and takes
live interest in current affairs. His
counsel and his purse are open to his
party. His person he has reserved to
his declining years. which he proposes
to enjoy with his friends, his books and
his pictures, of which he is fond. He
enjoys society as keenly as he ever did,
and is as pungent and epigrammatic as
OF yore in his conversation and repartee.
No one has ever heard murmur of
complaint escape his lips. Those who
know him best know that he is the exact
opposite of disappointed man, and
that he regarded his liberation from
party obligations and services as an act
of emancipation. We speak advisedly,
therefore, when we say that, under no
circumstances, could he be induced
again to enter, personally, into the
Struggles of political life. A more tran
.qail. a more happy. and a more agree
able philosopher is not to be found, and,
Being such, people need give themselves
