and Talks Like Healthy Man.
New York World, Saturday.
For some weeks past the readers of the
newspapers have been confused by the publ
cation of the most contradictory and irrecon-
cllable statements concerning the health of
Mr.. Tilden. One day they would be assured
in the most positive terms that he was
physical ard mental wreck, another day that
be was the picture of health and vigor. As
Mr.. Illden no longer continues those horse
back rides which formerly attracted SO much
attention, and as he refuses tn be interviewed
by the reporters The public have had no
other alleInaflVe than TO guess st the possible
truth amid the varying and conflicting state
ments.
AS The health of Mr.. Tilden is question
Of deep solicitude and National interest. the
World has felt it duty to keep it's renders
acquainted with the latest information relat-
ing TO it, without, however guaranteeing the
accuracy of the information printed in other
papers. In this spirit we printed some three
weeks ago the letter written to the Phlladel-
phia Record, in which Mr. McLean's name
was used as an authority for otherwise un-
supported statements, and Mr.. McLean's re-
quotation of these statements We printed
also the remal bic letter IN which Mr.. Wat
teTson described himself as worn out
by the attempt to keep up with the
activity of the venerable but unwearied
statesmen. We published also the sto
the Southern CONGRESSMAN given in the
Washington Sunday Herald, in which Mr..
Tilden was described "a man in the last
stages of decay" This Southern Congress

We republished these articles without guar

cause they appeared in reputable papers and

BoRDEAUx AND IT'S WINES.

In the United States Bordeaux is bet
Ter known by its wines than by its politi-
cal or religious history. In its vicinity,
between the broad and deep Garonne
and the sea, lies the most celebrated
wine district in the world. This is the
famous Medoc region, and contains the
woTid-renowned Chateau Margaux, Cha
teau L.lfitte, st. Estephe, St Julien and
Macon vineyards. Probably no other
territory of equal size, not even amid
the gold and diamond field, has pro-
duced more, il so much, wealth as this.
The Bordeaux wines, indeed, have en-
riched France more than any other one
interest For table use, when pure,
they are probably the best in existence,
a fact which dealers here tell me the
Americans know well how to appreciate.
There is a striking and singular differ
ence, however, between Bordeaux on the
banks Of the Garonne and Bordeaux ON
the banks of some other rivers.
The great vine vaults of Bordeaux are
interesting. Through the courtesy Of a
friend was permitted TO descend into
one Of them. The experience Of going
through that cellar is, as an Irishman
would say. much like that of passing
through the catacombs Of Rome, only
different The vaults are two stories
deep. one series under the other. Most
Of the wines in store are in bottles,
placed on iron racks, and laid upon their
sides. in order 10 prevent the admission
Of air through the corkage. Many Of
the racks are overspread with fungus,
which grows in such places in very curl
Gus forms, and without any apparent
moisture 10 nourish it In many of the
racks the bottles had lain for ten, twenty
and even thirty years untouched. The
wine in casks is racked OF at certain In
teryals in order TO eliminate the sedi-

OF THE NOSE TO TINE
FACE.


FACE.
A somewhat singular fact has been OBJ
served with reference to the shape of the
nose, or, rather, the setting Of it, so to
speak. To be strictly correct, from the
artists point of view, the nose should
be accurately in the middle Of the face,
and at right angles from the pupil Of one
eye to that of the other. As matter Of
factitis rarely or never found thus placed;
il is almost invariably little out Of the
"square," and the fact Of its being so is
often that which lends o peculiar
expression and piquancy to the face. A
medical writer points out that there are
anatomical reasons why asight deviation
from the true central line may be ex-
pected, and that the nose which is thus
accurately straight between the two eyes
may, after all, be considered an abhor-
NAL one; the only absolutely true and
correct organ being, in fact, that which
thus deviates little 10 the right or left.
