Chicago Correspondence.
Mr.. Filley told me, with straight face, and an
air of conviction, that Logan was one of the best
classical scholars in the country. He alleges
that he has seen Mr.. Logan constituting the
Greek Testament for the benefit of his boys,
and that he reads Virgil and Horace easily
This is not meant as piece of American humor,
but as the cold truth, and the allegation was
corroborated by another friend of Logans, who
was present. He does not pretend to explain
his English, except as an diosyncrasy

MICHAEL LEVI, of Scranton, Pa, aged
forty-two, committed suicide on Sunday be-
cause he could not stand the disgrace of be-
ing poor man." Mr. Levi WAS not peculiar
in this belief. There are thousands of men
in this busy world worried to death through
the fear of becoming poor. They may not
put pistol to their heads and blow their
brains out but they worry, and struggle, and
fret, and work their lives out just as effectu-
ally as though ball had gone tearing through
their vexed and tired brains. Thousands of
men are old before their time, thousands die
in the prime of life, because haunted and
bounded by this unwholesome fear 1t is
noble thing to aspire to a competency, to secure
enough to insure comfort, or at least enough
to avoid poverty. But to struggle for more
simply to escape the disgrace" of being poor is
even moro disgraceful and unlnanly than to
be man without fortune in money and
bonds. The fear of this disgrace" has eaten
the soul out Of many an honest man,
and put the shame of dishonor
and dishonesty ON others whose
fear of poverty was greater than that of theft,
The man who is blessed with health, even
though poor, should rejoice in the possession
of that which wealth can never buy. The
man with sound body and brain will never
despair because he is poor. 1t is only when
either or both are broken down by the strain
put upon them In the mad race for riches that
the possibility Of becoming poor suggests
shame. The rank and file Of humanity the
world over are poor, yet among the poor is

THE Atlanta Constitution rises to remark
with cautious enthusiasm. that ''no sane man
can longer doubt that Samuel J. Tilden will
be nominated by reclamation by the coming
Democratic conventional he is alive and
will accept the nomination" At last accounts
from Greystene Mr.. Tilden was alive only from
his eyes up, but there is no doubt that he will
accept while a wink can be understood. The
Constitution should take heart.

THE people of Switzerland are possessed of
some very very primitive and crude ideas, despite
the general spread of intelligence that has en-
lightened the world at large. Some two years
ago Jacob Meister, citizen of that little repub-
lie, had the bad taste to elope with the wife of
Johann David Bolleun. Instead of accepting
this evident dispensation of Providence as an
undeserved blessing Johann followed the fleeing
pair to America and traced them from place to
place until last week, when he caught up with
them at Highmarket n. Y. When he came upon
Meister he gave him thrashing, fo4 which
he was arrested and fined. The authorities then
took Meister in hand on a charge Of bigamy he
having abandoned a wife and family to elope
with Mrs Bolleun. Johann has made up with
his recreant wife, AMI will take her back to his

Congressman Lamb Says Tilden Is in Good
Health and VIII Accept.

Washington Special to Cincinnati News Journal.
Congressman Lamb, of Indiana who, in com.
pany with Mr.. Hendricks, recently visited Mr..
Tilden at Greystone says that if he is nom
mated at Chicago by the Democratic convention,
which meets next month. there is not the slight
est doubt but what he will accept, and at once
inaugurate vigorous campaign. He says that
all the talk about Mr.. Tilden's enfeebled condi-
ton is pure bosh. as he is in good health, and
fully as able to direct the Democratic hosts to
victory as he was in 1876. He is confident that
Tilden would sweep Indiana by a large majority.
and in New York it is a foregone conclusion that
he would carry the State against any candidate
that the Republicans may nominate.
