agents Of the association to furnish IL for

which corresponds to the innumerablc

very unpleasant thing that the ma

PERHAPS the most amusing thing to
Democrats, in connection with the posi-.
BILE Presidential candidacy of Mr.. Tilden,
is to notice the way the Republican
press treats the proposition. In jour-
nal OF that persuasion, the other day, we
encountered the suggestion that the best
way to handle the Tilden "boom" was
TO pay no attention to him. Here was a
possible new departure, with a ven-
geance, in view of the fact that our Re-
publican friends can, apparently, talk
OF nobody else. What was our surprise,
however to find, in this very same issue
of that paper, no less than five several
articles devoted to the Sage of Gramercy
Park. As well might Macbeth and his
wife have ceased to talk or think about
the murdered Duncan as Republicans to
try to ignore the paramount claims of
the only man who was elected to the
Presidency, in American history, who
failed to take his seat through con.
spiracy organized and carried out in de.
fiance of the Constitution of the United
States. In the one case as in the other
the damned spot" will not out. The Re.
publicans are now supping bitter sorrow
because they have dismissed the tax
suits against Mr.. Tilden. In a moment
OF misplaced confidence, they adopted
the idea that Uncle Samuel was forever
out of politics; and, as these suits were
purely sneaking political ones, the au.
thorities at Washington commanded
that there should be an end to the farce
They are now compelled to fall back
upon the story of Tilden's having
peddled grated tumips for horse.rad.
ish some fifty years or more ago.
The more sagacious Republicans per.
ceive that this is rather diaphanous
charge, and scarcely of sufficient solid.
ity to bear the brunt of long campaign.
There can be no question of the fact that
a frightful blunder was committed by the
District Attorney for the Southern Dis.
triet of New York when he rose in his
official place and acknowledged that the
government had no case against Tilden,
and asked for the dismissal of the com.
plant. He ought to have had the pres
cience to keep on postponing the case
from year to year. on the ground that
he was obliged to attend to other bust.

In his last letter to the Atlanta Con.
stitutioa, "Bill Arp" says. As q rule
the girls show too much anxiety to
marry. They are too sweet on the boys.
They ought to stand off and look re.

Well, they are. A good, nice, healthy
girl, who can make her own dress
and get up a good supper for com.
pany, and is not ashamed to wait
on the table while they are eating,
is just worth about 81 1000 a pound.
But that is nothing compared with what
they will be worth. Why, Mrs. Arp
has cut out and made up at least 1000
garments of one sort and another. She
has sewed 100000 stitches, and patched
and darned and washed faces and feet
and eombed hair innumerable. She
has tied up 500 sore toes and cut fingers
and burns and bruises, and kissed away

As all sorts Of disasters seem 10 run
in cycles, the earthquake at Ischia ought
to be followed by serious disturbances
elsewhere. During the past twenty
years In that portion Of the United
States east Of the Rocky Mountains, we
have been treated TO the era Of floods
and cyclones. One follows another with
unvarying regularity Eleven years ago

quakes, California sustaining n number
OF very violent ones. They extended
down the entire Pacific Coast, and
attained their acme Of violence In Qua
temala, the Capital Of that country being
destroyed, as II had frequently been
before. Tidal waves had preceded the
advent Of these earthquakes, one Of
these resistless caprices Of old ocean
having landed the United States steamer
Wateree high and dry, some seven miles
inland, in Peru, little while before
the earthquakes were chronicled. The
temblor then crossed the continent,
seeming to abandon the Pacific Coast
almost entirely, taking up It's seat in the
Mississippi valley, that section being
treated to two or three disturbances to
our one, although on neither side Of the
continent, except at San Jose do Guate-
mala, was there much loss of life. This
Ischia visitation Is the most fatal earth
quake development which has occurred
in Europe for years. Quite four thou.
sand people seem TO have lost their
lives, with the addition TO the list Of
casualties Of very many who were
wounded, more or less seriously. The
most tremendous earthquake known in
history occurred on the borders Of the
Mediterranean, at Lisbon, in 1866. In
this terrific cataclysm OF nature fully
sixty thousand souls perishod. 1t came
almost without warning. The streets
opened in many places and swallowed
outright majestic buildings The fine
old historical mole, at the entrance of
the harbor, was amongst the first build
ings to be engulphed. No human pen
is adequate to describe the agony
aud the sensational incidents which
were Accomplishments OF this great
paroxysm of nature. When the
palptating earth at last desist-
od from the work of destruction,
Lisbon was found to be in ruins. Men
and animals, by the tens of thousands,
were putrefying in the ruins Of grand pal
aces and great public works, which, IL
had been fondly hoped, would dofy the
progress OF time. In this respect Lisbon
rescmbled San Jose dc Guatemala.
Though both sites wero frequently the
scene of tremendous earthquakes, the
people Immediately rebuilt over the
ruins of their old homes.
Since writing the foregoing we see,
bya London telegram in the Ereniug Er-
press, that shocks of earthquake have
already been reported from Wiesbaden
and Marseilles. We shall be greatly
surprised il the theory of the periodicity
, OF casualties is not still further sustained
! during the next month or two.

WE have received the first number OF
DR.. Dio Lewis's Magazine, and very
disgusting publication we find IL to be.
While this gentleman has undoubtedly
absorbed great deal of hygienic and
pathological information, which he can
deal out in doses to suit the purchaser,
he is one of the most arrant humbugs of
the age. In the first number of his
brochure he has story under the title
OF the "Pale and Melancholy Young
Man, which is out of place anywhere
outside OF noisome sewer. Any one
whose natural prediction runs in the
line Of preferring a perfume to a stink,
will avoid this magazine, on the suppo-
sition that its first number is fair indi.
cation of what the succeeding ones will
be. Angeleiios have had the supreme
honor OF visit from Do Lewis. He is
an old gentleman who, in amplitude of
physique, would dwarf either Fal.
staff or David Davis. He has that
peculiar tallow complexion which gives
to excessive avoirdupois a very unin-
viting aspect. Though he has attained
the Scriptural three score and ten years.
he don't look as if he had ever enjoyed a
days health in his life. OF course, such
people invariably set themselves up as
Mentors Of mankind. Dio Lewis may
make his magazine success at his quite
venerable age, although we doubt it.
OF one thing, however, we feel assured,
and that is that no one who has read the
first number of this serial will wish to
read second, The story to which we
have adverted will sit upon tho recollec.
tions of those who read it like a night.
