WHY Tilden Never Married.

"The fact that Mr.. Tilden never mar
ried has often been commented upon with
surprise" says The New York Herald
''and by none with more than by those
who knew him well without knowing all
of his history. Forhe was no misogynist.
On the contrary, he was always, and to
the last, very fond of the society of
women. But Mr.. Tilden met an early
disappointment. He became attached,
at comparatively early age, to young
lady of New York. She was the daughter
of an intimate friend. man whose re-
putation as a poet and journalist be
came afterward much more extended.
This lady felt for Mr.. Tilden a lively
friendship and interest which has with
stood the yicissitudes of years. But she
could not bring herself to regard him
with warmer feeling. AS she has been
for long time the wife of another we'll
known gentleman of New York, and as
even in the wide circle of their friends
the foregoing. episode il known, if to any,
to very few, it would be indicate TO dwell
further upon it. There are, however,
many warm admirers of Mr. Tilden, many
close political adherents and disciples who
will be interested in knowing this proof
of his steadfastness and constancy, and
for whose sakes therefore, as we'll as in
Justice to the dead statesman's memory,
this brief "reminiscences is thus recorded"

AN English army officer, writing to the
London Army and Navy Gazette, fur
nishes an interesting account of the
German cavalry, from which it appea RS
that in the ordinary demands of the an
nual inspection in May, every squadron
must be prepared to cover 1000 yards
at trot 600 at gallop and about 100 at
the charge; then break up into the melee,
and then ON the trumpet sound APPELLEE
rally to the front AT a gallop, and charge
again in pursuit without REMEMBERING or
telling-ur. Aud this has all TO be done
in marching order. lie SAYS ut is per
fectly astonishing TO see the sections
wheel up into line again after a gallop of
goo or 500 yards, without leaving day
light between the files, ana yet without
oyercrowding. saw squadron after
aadron do this the other day again and
again, with precision had not believed

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE evidense for the
defense occupied over seven days. What
It's value is, and how it affects the case for

Not single point has been controyerted'
nor any fact, or inference. or assumption
denied SO far as Fischer is concerned
the case was made even worse by the de-
feuse, Spies being added to the list Ct
witnesses against him. Lingg may escape
the extreme penalty because OF his yonth.

may be fixed is Spies. The tact that ne

4 X. OF l..

One OF the novel things to be acted upon
by the Knights Of Labor in session at Rich
mond is the subject OF the formation OF =
Labor Congress, to hold regular sessions
at Washington during the meeting Of the
National Congress.
This scheme is the outgrOwth of q COM
mittee ofthree that were appointed by the
Assembly ut Cleveland and were watching
the doings OF Congress last winter. Its OBJ
iect is to look after the bills before Con
greSs and study their merits or de-
fects and bring On influence to bear upon
their passage or rejection rs seems best for
the good of the public. Ip other words, it
is to be a disinterested lobby maintained
by regular assessments of the Knights of
Labor throughout the country.
This labor Congress might accomplish
great good in eNpeditiug important indus
trial legislation, and squelching reckless
and corrupt jobs. But if it is TO consider
every measure before Congress and act as
adviser in everything, it is likely the good
accomplished will not be equal to the cX-
penditure necessary to maintain such a
body in connection with Congress. But it
is an original and interesting scheme, even
If il is impraCticablC.
