Mr. Tiden's country home at Greystoue is
situated on tho east bank of the Hudson,
about eighteen miles from the New York
city hall, and is one of the first among the
Leautiful homes of America 1t was built
by John 7. Waring, Massachusetts hat
manufacturer, who made his money. it is
said by using convict labor. The building
and farm of about 100 acres cost him $40, :
900 Mr.. Ti!den bought it in 1879 and has
since been constantly at work improving it.
Every day that is not stormy he can be seen
inspecting the various portions of his
farm as he calls it, and it is Il farm and
an exceedingly well regulated one, the stock
being the very best procurahle. The green
houses and Grapery, erected during this
year are at present taking much OF Mr..
Tilden's attention He purposes to rival Mr.
Gould ~ his collection of plants and his
fruit houses are designed TO supply grapes
and peaches all the year round. But it is
the interior Of the house that interests one
most, particularly at this season. ! can
never forget an incident of my first visit TO
Grevstone. 1t was in the fall of 'S3 My guide
through the house on that occasion was Mr..
Andrew II Green, the ex-comptroller OF
New York city, who resides with Mr..
Fiden. A telegram caused Mr. Green to
excuse himself from me for time while |
enjoyed the works of art and magnificent
old clocks in the spacious hall which runs
through the building from east to west.
Being attracted to the farther end of the
hall, passed Mr.. Tilden's study just as the
door opened. when | saw a picture that
startled me 1t was Mr. Tilden as an
invalid, with a nankin pinned over his
chest, and his niece, Miss Pelton, assisting him
with his food for the carrying of which his
hands were too undsteady. This was at time
when papers throughout the country were
ca ling on HIM to again be candidate foy
the presidency. | thought of how few
could understand that his feeble body
carried one Of the brightest intellects of on
time, and what a subject it would have
made for the caricaturists, so l refrained
from telling of it until now, when Mr.
Tilden's condition is better known. Mr.
filden has been for years almost deprived
of the use of his hands. The relaxation OF
the vocal chords will not permit him IL

THE HAPPINESS OF rIys1u,

Elysium was the name given by the an
eient Greeks to the resting place of the
righteous dead, where they should enjoy
eternal peace and happiness. None bu.
the pure in heart, thetruthful and the gen
erous could tread the asphodel meadows of
of the Elysian fields and it was land of
everlasting delight. When, therefore, Mrs.
Kate Sherman, of Streator, ILL.,, said re-
Gently that she had been in Elysium,
thoug Oh of course she spoke fguratively, it
argued that some great good fortune and
Joy had come to her And such, indeed,
was the truth. Mrs. Sherman tells how it
was in this way:

rheumatism fer more than thirty years.
Heretofore the pain would succumb to the
application Of hot wet flannel, but at my
