the notion that this old batrachiau of

atty on the part OF ANYBODY has q spice
of humor in it. The Sun says it Is Il
grave public misfortune thai Tilden
feels himself obliged to withdraw from
the arena of active political life" With
draw? He never was in any such arenai
He has been a member of the New York
State Assembly by the grace of John
Kelly. This is not being in active po-
itical life. 1t was Kelly who was in
politics-not Tilden. He got enough
reputation as the figurehead of the anti
Tweed movement to make him Govern
or of New York, and profoundly sur
prised at the success of his own pose
as a political reformer he occupied
the chair of Governor, timidly avoid
ing all action, and fondly nag
lining he was in politics. Hoff-
man had previously been the figure
head, but who ever hears of Hoffman to-
dayP At last he ran for Presidency on
his record for timidity as Governor, and
this he feels sure must be actual poll
ticsl But it is a mistake. The only part
Mr.. Tilden has ever performed in poll
tics has been to abstain from it. He
is still abstaining from it. The
Sun is busy publishing his abstention.
Other papers will follow, multiplying
the area over which he abstains. but
it must be remembered that abstention
is Mr.. Tilden's only mode of participit-
ing in anything whatever. If he were
elected President his first thought
would be how he could avoid taking the
oath. He expects by continued retiring
to back his way into the Presidential
chair. If he should get into it he would
represent the Democratic party by care
fully abstaining from doing, knowing,
or seeing anything. To find out which
way he is heading. therefore, we must
watch his abstentions. His objective
aim will be indicated by the stealthy
luffing of his posterior in that direction.

Mr.. Blaine was asked for his views on
proposition favored by many Pennsyl-
yania Republicans, to distribute the sur
plus revenue in the United States Treasury
among estates according to population.
He gave them in q letter to the Phila-
delphia Press. He dissents from the Penn
sylyania suggestion and gives satisfactory
reasons for so doing. He follows this Up
with amoye Of his own to disburse to the
various States the money collected from
Whiskey 1t is to distribute that among
the several States and make the tax perpet-
ual and part OF. the financial policy Of the
government. The plan is given in a SYN
opsis of his letter published elsewherel
There are objections to be urged to it, but
as the scheme will hardly be seriously con-
sidered by Congress we do not deem it ne
cessary to discuss it. We publish the
synopsis as current news and the sugges-
ton of an eminent man. and leave itfor our
readers to think over. A resolution COW
ering the same idea, except the revenue
derived from whiskey was to be devoted to
free school purposes, was offered by Sena-
tor Logan in the last Congress. That fell
still-born, as will the modified sugges-
tiOn of Mr.. Blaine.

The Old Round Tower.

Those who VISIT New Port, Rhode
Island, are shown the old round tower,
which is one of the chief attractions of this
place. This was probably built by the
Nofsemen early in the thirteenth century,
and was used by them as tower in
which to flee for safety, and if it could talk,
what volumes of history could it relate.
Just as it was tower of safety to the early
discoveries of America, so is Peruna to the
citizens of our country to-day. As it is
prepared exclusively from vegetable COM
pounds, and contains no poisonous miner
.als, it is peculiarly adapted to all who need
a tonic for their worn out systems. Ask

of railways is to the people of the Common

Ample power resides with the Legislature to
impose such wholesome checks upon the vari-
GUS lines of transportation as shall secure for
the producers and manufacturers OF Virginia
proper rates and full facilities, and guarantee TO
the cities of the State those advantages to
which, by reason of their geographical position,
they entitled.
The experience of other communities has

practicability of such policy. urgently COM

A young English bicyclist, now in San
Francisco, proposes to make trip around
the world on his bicycle. He will start
Omaha nd Chcaso and CROSSING my r R ga AR
lantic from New York, will ride from Liv-
erpool to Dover. He will cross the Eng
lish Channel to France and ride through
Europe to Asiatic Turkey, thence through
Persia and Turkestan into the Chinese
Empire and make his way down the Val
ley of the Yank-tse-K iang to Shanghai,
and thence by vessel to San Francisco,
consuming year in the travelling. He
says he considers the trip from Sacramento
to Reno the most difficult piece of road for
a bicycle, and looks with some dismay at
his proposed trip through Asia, where a
bicycle has never been seen, or perhaps
heard of. 7-

Just Like a Cow.

Among the coterie of beauties that sur. rounded the Prince of Wales at Brighton in
 the early part of the present century was Lady Haggerstone, whose charms had at first sight attracted the admiration of the amorous Florizel. But not content with the general admiration which his royal highness was dis
 posed to grant to all pretty women, her lady ship was ambitious to completely captivste
 the heart of the heir apparent. Accordingly fete champetre was announced to come of at her pretty little villa near the Spa, and her ladyship was determined to charm the prince
 by assuming rustic dress that would have satisfied the taste of Vatican. At her resi- dence she had 8 miniature farm-ysrd and three pretty little Attorneys. When the prince with his friends and attendants had arrived the fair hostess came forward from a side wicket, dressed as milk maid for the purpose of making syllabub for the prince. She had a silver pail in one hand and an or namental stool in the other, Thus equipped she tripped along, with ribbons flying from her dainty little milking hat, that hung on one side of her graceful head, and the small est little apron tied below her lace stonacher till she came opposite his royal highness, to whom she dropped carefully studied, be- widening rustic courtesy. Then passing lightly over the beautifully plaited straw, her tucked-up gown showing her neat ankle as well as her colored stockings, she placed her stool and pail conveniently for use. Leaning against the flank of one of the crossest- look ing of the Attorneys, she was about to begin her pretty task; but, not reIishing this new and strange companion, the animal at once commenced kicking out, upsetting stool, pail, and milk-maid, and then trotting coolly away. Lady Haggerstone rose, covered with con- fusion, and beat nasty retreat into her little dairy, whence she did not emerge again that day.

During the past six years, as is developed by an examination of the records recently made by James Bishop, assistant clerk of the City court of New Haven. the aggregate of criminal cases brought were IT, 7,199 and the total amount paid to the clerk of the court and his assistant foots up $57, ,649.87. This sum does not include amounts paid at the jail for fines, etc., or paid anywhere outside of the court.
