for your new paper, one copy of which have

letter on high license possibly you already
have it, but may add, that it gives express
sion to the opinion of many temperance peo-
pie in the state of New York, while it is
granted there is much opposition to prohibit
ton, because becoming a law it could never
be enforced
Does the law prohibiting theft and murder
prohibit? In this hour, when lawlessness
rules and desolates, that question surely is
answered sadly and yet the voters of the
land would not wisely repeal such law.
You get all the news, doubtless, from your
exchanges and correspondents, and must have
read with pleasure that the excellent women
of the Soross club, of New York city, recent
ly held their annual dinner aoithoWt aoiaae, for
the first time. Also that the Boston Art club
gave large vote against establishing wine
room in their new building. There has been
much rejoicing in celebrating the passage of
the compulsory temperance education bill in
New York and Brooklyn. This looks like
fundamental work. The night of intemper-
ance has been long and dark. Alcohol has
had an accursed reign, but the hours of the
night are being fulfilled. There are streaks
of light that herald the dawn. Go on-heaven
help you in your good work. D.

 Mir. Tilden has written great many letterz and all of them have been well worth read- ing. Not the least interesting of the coliec-
 ton is the one published yesterday morning. In this letter the Sage reviews his. political life work, exhibits his patriotism, refers to his lack of physical strength and says: Un- dervaluing in no wise that best gift of hsaven the occasion and the power sometimes be- slowed upon mere inaividuai Co communi- cate an impulse for good grateful beyond all
 words to my fellow countrymen who would assign such benefcient function to me, am consoled by the reflection that neither the Dem- ocratic party nor the republic for whose fu- ture that party is the best guarantee Is now or ever can be dependent upon any one man for their successful progress in the path of a noble destiny. Having given to their welfare whatever of health and strength possessed or could borrow from the future, and having reached the term of my capacity for such labors as their welfare now demands I but submit to the will of God in deeming my public career forever closed
 This seems to settle the told ticket'' busi- ness, and even the most hardened Demo- crats must give up the hope of seeing Tildsn "vindicated." They have stuck 4o the old gentleman we'll and have done their best to make his reputation splsndid, Considering the facts it is little singular that he should have been able to inspire his followers with such genuine respect and admiration. The New York Evening Post does not exagger- ate when it says: He has always, in seeking even the noblest sndA preferred secrecy to openness, indirectnsss to directness, the crooked to the straight road. the whisper to the loud voice. The way in which he lost the presidency in 1876 would doubtless have the sympathy of large numbers outside his own party but for the discovery that his friends had been fighting the devil with fire on his behalf and apparently with his conniv- ance. The South Carolina cipher despatch es and the Oregon negotiations were dread ful episode in the history of a martyr, and must always rob Mir. Tilden's role in the con- test of 1876 of the imprsseivsness sad solsn- nifty with which he not unnaturally wishes to it in the eyes of posterity.
 What the Democratic party will dc with out Tilden as their leader in the com ing campaign remains to be seen. There will, of course, be several who will think they can lead as we'll as he but his pssitive de- clination is, nevertheless, a 'sdamper" on their enthusiasm. He is their strongest man weak as he is.

 Mr. Mann is an original Blaine man. Eight years ago he was so enthusiastic for the Maine mans nomination that he determined to have the honor of finRing the first Blaine flag to the breeze in Philadelphia He pur- chased fine silk flag, and had placed upon it the words "Blaine and Victory He se- lected boy who was to accompany him to the newspaper offices, and who, when Blaine was nominated, was to carry the news to Mrs Mann, whose duty was to put out the flag. In 1876 the flag was not put out, but was laid away until 1880. The day the nomination was to be in that year Mir. Mann accompa- nied by the same messenger, then conslderab- y grown, waited at the newspaper offices to receive the intelligence of the Maine mans success Again the flag was laid carefully away in camphor for another four years

Victor Hugo at Home.

1 How the Great French Poet is Ending r His Glorious Days.
 From the Paris Morning News.I At this time of the year Victor Hugo re- I caives 8 great many cosmopolitan visits. His fame is so world wide that illustrious tourists from all parts on arriving in the French cap ital seek an audience of him. The great Preach poet is very hospitsbls and seldom
 refuses to gratify the desires of his admirers. In exceptional cases he invites thes visitor to bis table. It is at once an honor and treat for the veteran bard is @ capital host and knows how to entertain his guests Victor Hugo continues to wear wonderfully well. Like his countryman who is installed as the Elyses, he looks far younger than his age. Nobody would imagine he was in his eighty
 second year.
 Victor Hugo's little hotel in the old Avenue
 d'Eylau, which nov bears his name, is well
 known to the literary pilgrim. It is an un-
 pretontious residence and thousands pass be
 fore it little dreaming that it's tenant is the
 greatest living genius of France. It consists
 of a rez-de-chaussee and two upper floors,
 with small garden and conservatory. The
 apartments are well furnished, but there is
 nc attempt at luxury-in fact, the poet pre-
 fers old furniture to new and has horror of
 things gaudy. Of course there is no end of
 obiets dart, the greater part being the offer inGs of friends and admirers. Conspicuous among them is bust of Victor Hugo by Da-
 vid, of fingers, and painting by No1llemot, representing the grandchildren, whom the poet has imrnOrtalized. There is also very fine collection of tapestry. ancient and mod ern.
 Like most great men, Victor Hugo is an aarlv riser. As Q rule he is up at daybFeak both winter and summer. He is also very .rs@ul6r in his habits. In fact. his mode Of living is arranged almost like ciockwork AS eoon as he has dressed he breakfasts on eggs and coffee and works m nls ssody t ..u ! nooa. i,efcre high desk. Now and then he rs- l;eves himgelf by walking two and fro or sip 1 Din0 acme suRared water. The smornt of | fitersyy labor he gets through from sunrise 1 fo noon is something incredible. Pnnctually as tiss clock strikes twelve he lays down his | quill-and goes down | efaira to his midday meal, where he meets 1 hiu grandchildren and other members of the | fanniiv It is then that he throws of his po- etic mantle and gives himself entirely up to She innocent joys of simple mortals.
 The poet spends his afternoon oue or doors After skrolling till he feels tired he halls the | first omnibus he sees and mounts the knife | board s.comme un jeune homms." Not by | anv means will he ride inside. All the omni- | bus drivers know him. The knife-board is | his favorite point of observation, whence he | gathers inspiration from the passing crowds | below Many of his famous characters have [ been caught in his minds eye while taking 2 l thrse-sou drive from the Arc dc Triomphe to l the BastiIe.
 Refreshed by his open-air excursion, he | returns home to dinner, which is fixed at | sight o'clock. There are always . fe~ guests. Victor Huso is very abstemious both in sat-

BILIOUS ESS,

Bilious symptoms invariably arise from indigestion, such as fuPPed tongue, vomiting of bile, giddiness, sick headache, irregular bowels. The liver seePetes the bile and acts like a filter OF sieve, to cleanse im- purities of the blood. By ir- regularity in it's action or sus- pensions of it's functions, the bile is liable to overflow into the blood, causing jaundice, sallOW complexion, yellow eyes, bilious diarrhea, a Ian- guid, weary feeling and many other distressing symptoms. BiliousnesS may be properly termed an affection of the liver, and can be thoroughly cured by the grand regulator of the liver and biliaPy organs, BURDOCK BLOOD BITTERS.

Ing and drinking. He drinks Bordeaux as a rule, but never undiluted. Even on the most csrsmonious occasions he will not depart from his eau rougie He was once dining at the Tuileries under Louis Philippe. Tho Duo de .Nemours, who was opposite him, orr dered certain bottle of wine to be placed by the poets side it was an old Chateau La ftte, worth it's weight in gold. His royal highness gazed at Victor Hugo, curious to see what effect the taste of such nectar would have on him. Judge of his horror and sur prise on seeing the bard polfute 1t with the contents of the water decaDter.
 It is this sobriety and regularity which en- ables Victor Hugo to get through so much work The first attempt of the poet was written at the age of fourteen. It was 8 piece of poetry called ''Le Jury" He sent it to the academy hoping to win prize, but it was not ''crowned." Nothing daunted, young Hugo persevered, and soon convinced the Forty Immortals that he possessed the sacred fire. He composes with wonderful rapidity. For example, he wrote his ''Crom- welr' in three months, and his 'Notre Dame de Paris" in. four months and half. But even these have been his longest periods of labor, and as he grew older he wrote faster. ,tMari0n Delorme" was finished in twenty four days; t'Hernani' in twenty-six and tfLa Roi s'Amuse" in twenty. To-day, in his year, he is moro rapid than o1AN ''pantinx time tolls after him in vain."
 But to return to the poet in his daily life, During dinner he arnuses his guests with live ly anecdotes, which he has talent for tell ing as well az writing. In this respect he is unlike many other authors who are all pen and no tongue. Ladies will be hattered to learn that their sex holds an important posi- ton at the poets table. Victor Hugo the older he grows appears to like ladies' society the more He is. very gallant and kisses the hands of his lady visitors in the good old courier style. He is no poser, as men of genius seldom are, but adopts 8 simplicity which puts his guests at their ease. He nev- CT monopolizes the conversation and has knack of not allowing other people to do 50.
 Victor Hugo is at present engaged on work which he believes will eclipse all his previous productions. He has already seve- ral completed manuscripts which have not yet seen the light and which are carefully stored in a strong box Whether the work which he is now writing will be added to them and kept secret till after his death time alone can tell.
