New YORK, February 25.-Mr. Tilden has
been spending the winter at "Greystone,"
his country seat He runs down to the

his elegant new residence in Gramercy
park is getting on. The interior of the
house has been given up for some months

are celebrating the details of the finish.
iDgs and ornamentation. 1t is nearly COM
pleted now, and is said to present one
Of the most elegant interiors in the
city. not excepting the new Vanderbilt
mansions. Mr. Tilden will move into town
early in May to spend month or two in
his city residence before the dog days ar
rive. Complete rest from public cares and
from business pursuits has greatly i'm
proved his health. Ot course whenever
there seems fair prospect that he will
live few months longer, fresh reports Of
approaching marriage are circulated. The
with is q young lady from Albany
whose name need not be
mentioned here. though 1t has
been published. 1t has been observed that
several young ladies, and notably one in st.
Louis, whose names nave been connected
with Mr.. Tilden's, and have regarded il as
a splendid and very desirable advertise
ment OF the fact that they exist and are
charming, intelligent aud beautiful young
creatures" of which matters the world at
large had previously been ignorant. 1t is
said that the old gentleman is good deal
annoyed by the serious interpretations that
some newspapers are bound to put up
on any trifling attentions he pays to the
fair sex. He can not send lady bouquet
without its exciting as much attention as
the celebrated Emma Abbott kiss. Mr..
Tilden, his friends say, never was society
man, but he is fond OF the acquaintance OF
a few accomplished ladies, and his atten-
tions 10 them are as delicate and courteous
as could be wished. According to the news
papers he has within the past four years
been engaged to about half dozen ladies,
NEST of whom were so tender in years that
the venerable Samuel could almost be their
great grandfather.

SEVERE ON IOWA.
GarfieId's Successor Makes witty Re
mark,

maFk,
WASHINGTON, February 25.-The House
had under consideration the bill providing
an appropriation Of ten million dollars to
be divided among the States in proportion
to illiteracy, for educational purposes.
Georgia, under the bill, will get more than
any other State, her share being over $780,
coo. Pennsylvania will get about 1865, 900.
Iowa we'll get the least OF any
State in proportion to her pop
ulation, having the least percen-
age of illiteracy. By the way, speaking OF
the fact that Iowa will receive the least pro-
portion, reminds me of q conversation
which occurred a few days ago between
Judge Taylor, of Ohio, and Mr.. Nc Cord, of
Iowa, which is worth reproductions. Judge
TAYLOR, who Is Garfield's successor, is a
strong protectionist. He is very severe on
free trade Republicans. Iowa sends dele
CATION composed of free traders, excepting
Governor Carpenter, who is thorough
protectiorist, and KaSson, who is
a diplomat, and therefore on both
sides OF the question. The other day
while TAYLOR and McCord were discussing
in friendly way the relative illiteracy OF
the States, McCord, with evident pride, re-
ferred to Iowa ss having the least per CEN
tage OF illiteracy Of any OF the States.
'Oply two per cent" said McCord. Yes,
replied Taylor, "and the unfortunate as
pect of the matter is that she bends that
two per cent. to Congress"

PARIS, February 2i.-At a meeting held

Louise Michel delivered an address upon

created by the remarks of NJ. ROoult, who
delivered violent harangue favoring i'm.

your hands. and then let all those whose
hands shall not be hard with toll be con-

This recommendation was received with
great applause. -.

GENERAL WASHINGTON DISPATCHES
Special Di,ratch % the Reai,ser.

WASHINGTON February 25.-It is conceded
by large number that the tariff bill has
been killed for the remainder of the ses-
sion. A few Republicans still talk in
bslfhearted way about deyising means for
sending the bill to conference. But one
does not need to know much OF legislation
to understand how absurd ii would be at
this time to dispose in that way of a
bill concerning which so many con-
flicting interests and opinions
have to be reconciled with the expectation
that any. legislation would result there
from. The 18th Of March is too near at
hand. The truth is the Republicans are
Just now afraid to risk any action upon
the Tariff bill. They mistrust one anoth-
er. Many Of them do not want any revis-
ion of the tariff and are doubtful as to
whether they can muster a sufficient num-
Der of votes to carry motion to non-concur
in the Senate bill.
David Davis Successor.
Hon. J. n. Dolph, Republican Senator
elect from Oregon, was in the Senate
chamber yesterday. His presence just at
this time, within q week of the adjourn
ment Of Congress, led to the surmise on
the part of many that he had been advised
to come here that he may be present at an
executive session of the Senate, to be con-
vened after Congress sdjourns. The Ques-
tion Of probable executive session is one
that is being much speculated about at
present. No formal step looking to the
election of President pro tenn. at this ses-
sion has yet been taken, but it is said
Judge Davis is willing to yacate the chair
on the Sd Of March, provided the Republi-
cans and Democrats can agree upon his
successor, and provided further, that the
Republicans will consent to leave the pres
ent organization of the Senate undisturbed
until next December. 1t is said also that
some of the Republicans object to any con-
ditions being imposed upon them, and that
rather than assent to any they will favor
special session. The presence Of Mr.. Dolph
assures the full attendance of the Republi.
cans, should special session be convened,
and it begins to look now as If one is very
