Henry Watterson has been visiting
Mr.. Tilden at Greystone and was as
tonished to find the old gentleman ap-
parently renewing his youth. His
voice was restored, his eyes bright, his
cheek rosy, his intellect clear and his
wit incisive. He quite tired out Wat
terson leading him about to see the
house and the farm. Mr.. Watterson
hints that he could furnish some mighty
interesting reading if he had the right.
but he declares that nothing passed
which led him to modify his opinion
that dragging by wild horses would
not induce Mr.. Tilden to become
presidential candidate.

The great increase here seems to be III the wages
of spinners. The authorities for 1882 are trust
worthy, comprising Consul General Malbeer, ex-
Consul Rhodes, of Rouen, and the official statistics
of France, all three of which substantially agree,
and cOIroborate the result of my personal inquiries
at ROuen. The figures for 1860 and so obtained
from a report on the subject made by British Con-
suls to their Government and afterward reproduced
by the State Department 1t will be seen that the
augmentation is ut the rate of 80 per cent ia ten
years ending in 1870, and still greater during the
last twelve years in the spinning branch of the in
dustry.
II is a significant fact that while wages in Man
chester have, according to official statements, de
clined in the last decade, wages in the cotton in
dustry Of France, according to the official state
ments made to the French Tariff Commission, in
creased from 10 to 20 per cent and in partcu-
lar branches even more. | have before state
mens of some of the largest mills with the actual
wages paid every person fourteen years ago and now,
and the average increase is - per cent. In Amiens
the cost of labor has increased from 20 to - per
cent since 1860. In other places the testimony
shows that salaries have increased since 1850, 30
per cent for men aud women, and 80 per cent Tor
children.
Ihad an interview when in Roucn with the director
of the tramway company, WHO is one of the largest
employers of labor. Together we asccrtaincd from
the company's payroll the wages paid all sorts Of
labor. For example, common street laborers were
paid 20 cents per day for 10 hour, work. This is
precisely what the English laborcr receives, though
III some parts of England we have foaud him glad
to accept IS Gd. iG2l2 cents. Good mechanics in
Rouen are paid 81 10 per day; and smiths even
nlore-$1 20. Engine-drivcrs earn ~ 40 a day,
with an allowance for economies and freedom from
accidents-often the director said, amounting To -
a month extra. Conductors and drivers each get
so cents per day, including Sunday, or 50 90 per
week.
The director, who, by the way, was an English
man told me that the Nounans more thrifty
than hIs own cOuntrymen; that there was hardly
man in the employ of the company who had not
saved money. No matter how small the salary, all
saved something. House rent at Rouen is not much
less than IN England, the average rent for cottage
with from two 10 four rooms. on the outskirts OF
the town. ranging from 20 10 30 francs month,
but this sum includes Il sinking fund by which the
house finally becomes the property of the tenant.

NAV be imagined from my description of the Oldest
ouarters of Rouen, the homes of the working class
until of recent years, simply frightful. Here
is n Frenchman's description of the wOrkingnan's
home in Rouen, written not many years ago:
The entrance is often by low. dark and narrow
passage where man can hardly stand upright.
These passages are the bed of fetid stream issuing
from the differ emit stories and apartments and
which runs into the small courtyard and there
stagnates The staircases spiral, without light
OF banisters bristling with hardened NTH, and by
them are reached dismal low dens, with windows
and doors which scarcely open or shut, and with
little or furniture. The youngest children sleep
on bag of cinders; the rest of the family father,
mother brothers and sisters, are all huddled to-
gether on miserable litter.
In spite of its picturesque beauty there are mis-
cradle dens not whit better than the above TO
be found in the City of ROuen to-day, in which hu-
man beings live. Still the artisan is pushing his
way into the surrounding country, and every year
new and comfortable brick cottages with gardens
take the place of decaying town tenement-hOuses.

MINES AND INNING.

SUNDAY, Dec. 2-P VI.
Two holidays last week were not without effect
in reducing the business in mining stocks TO small
proportions but aside from that cause the mar
kct exhibited little of lie or interest. The trans
actions chiefly were in the low price fancies, and
generally they were weak. Gold Stripe, however.
developed some activity and rose to 1919 cents.
HON Silver was moderately dealt in at firm fig
ures. Northern Belle declined from So 90 to 81 10;
The Lcadvile stocks generally were steady and
were rather weak.

declared its usual monthly dividend of 20 cents per
