A Friend of Dorsey.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Mr. L. N.
Hill, of Arkansas, personal friend
of Ex-senator Dorsey, has written a
letter to the Enquirer bureau in this
city in which he says:
THE Cincinnati Enquirer of July
18th has from its Columbus CORES
pondent an interview with Mr.. Chas.
Foster, governor of Ohio, from which
| extract the following as having been
said by Mr. Foster:
=" Garfield never promised Dorsey
a cabinet position, but the latter init
mated his desire for it, and persistent
ly pressed his case His information
was, the president had limited. that
he would offer it if Dorsey would de
cline it, and thus have something to
feel good over | saw Governor Fos-
ter yesterday at the Riggs houss, and
asked him if he had been correctly re-
ported. The governor said:
Part of what | said was left out
l did say unless Garfield was the great
est hypocrite and worst falsitier in the
country, he had never offered Dorsey
a place in his cabinet"
:" / told Governor Foster that Dor
sey's friends would not let him rest
until the imputation conveyed i'll his
language was denied, and that the let
ter was in existence, for l had seen it,
in which the offer was made. AS a
matter of fact. Garfield also offered a
position to Dorsey, and when Dorsey
declined it, Garfield said to him: Do
not let this be your final answer; go
home and reflect on it, and then you
will accept These are not the exact
words, perhaps, but contain the sub
stance of what the president said.

Tilden,

The New York Sun, i'll a double
loaded editorial to-day, says:
1T is very remarkable how strenu
ously everybody insists that Mr.. Til
den ought to be the democratic candl-
date for president in 1884. 1t seems
to be almost IN vain for him to refuse
on the ground of personal disinclina-
ton and diminished strength. The
republicans say that he cannot be sim
cere III such resolution, and myriads
of democrats are unwilling to resign
the hope of voting for him once more
and electing him. There is great
reason for this feeling on both sides.
1t grows out of an irrepressible public
sense of historical justice. 1t has its
root in true sense of Mr.. Tilden's
intellectual resources and his
lifelong devotion to democratic ideas.
No greater compliment was ever paid
20 amy public man than Is paid to
him in this varied yet spontaneous
expression of popular sentiment. 1t
is. indeed, grave public misfortune
that Mr.. Tilden feels himself obliged
to withdraw from the arena of active
political life, but it is a misfortune
which can not be helped. The conso-
lation about it is that his fame will re
main, and will grow brighter and
brighter as the violence of antagonism
is extinguished and the splendor of
his services is appreciated at its worth. +"

Illness When Travelling.

To be prepared for sudden illness i'll
travelling is most important, especial
ly at this season of the year when
people are liable to be taken suddenly
sick. If one is away from home un-
der such circumstances without any
way of getting needed remedies i'm
mediately, a few simple things may
prove of great value. Some way of.
heating water, milk, etc, is most use
full. In many places, especially i'll
the country, there is no fire kept up
after the work is finished and it often
requires SO much work or time to get
hot water or hot things that it is con-
sidered more trouble than it is worth,
and SO people often go without when
the things are really needed. There
is sold now at most hardware stores
small alcohol heater which is per-
fectly safe to use if the directions are
followed out. 1t consists of shallow
pan filled with asbestos, covered with
wire, and AN iron frame which closes
so that the whole thing can be packed
in a small compass. The asbestos acts
like a sponge and holds the alcohol
which is poured into it. There is
place above the flame to set tin cup,
or, if it is desirable. to heat fiannels,
a vat pan can be heated over it on
which the tiannels can be laid No
time or trouble is required more than
lighting lamp, and the only precau-
ton to be used is not to fill the little
pan when it is hot or close it until it
has cooled In cases of cramp or
when little children are i'll, the con-
- e,,nh ont &c
worth many times its value, and no
family should travel without some
thing of the kind. Many a sudden
attack has been relieved by the appli-
cation of hot lamentations or the tax
ing Of something hot to drink. The
simple remedies used In every family
should never be left at home. either
the little pill box or the mustard leaves,
camphor, paregoric, etc. should find
place somewhere Many mothers
have prescription from their physl-
clan put up to use in case of sudden
emergency Sometimes such medl-
cine is needed. and again it may not
be. but it IS well always to be pre-
pared. Serious illness is often pre-
vented by using the right medicine
at first. 1t is extremely dangerous to
lie and suffer. perhaps all night, with
out having anything done to relieve
pain. At this season it is not unusual
for inflammation of the bowels to fol-
low some slight disturbance, or an at
tack of indigestion if 1t Is neglected,
and it stands every one in hand to
have a few simple remedies, at least,
with them in travelling
