Tilden a Bachelor From Choice.


 Now that MT. Tilden is dead it seems stranger than ever that he lived to be seven- ty-three years of age without taking a wife. Many men of course are bachelors from choice, but it appears according to the gos- sips that MT. Tilden wanted to get married very much many times during his career. He offered his hand, heart and the usutruet of his fortune, as we are told by these vera cious chroniclers, severally to the daughter of distinguished poet, the daughter of famous electrician and the daughter of a prominent Democratic politician. These la dies kindly but promptly rejected the offer. In his later years, when he had gained na- tional reputation, the number of ladies to whom MT. Tilden paid his court, with view to matrimony, according to report, was very large. We do not remember any other prominent man who had so bad luck in this direction, if the reports are all true.

She is put to work in her childhood and before she reaches her maturity she looks like a grandmother, wrinkled and ther-beaten, bent and careworn. The circumstance, which appears at every turn Ing and IS written upon each countenance, leaves painful impression and diseredits the national character.

SIGHTS AMONG THE CRACKERS. A Phase of Southern Life. With Cus- toms and Ways Peculiar and orig
From the Brooklyn Magazin

From the Brooklyn Magazinel Dancing among the Crackers is usually a solo performance. The reel and breakdown sometimes include several participants, but the 'spas seul' is more popular than the bal let, As in 'smeetin'" the men sit on one side of the house and the women on the oth- CT, the same line of decorum is preserved in their social gatherings, the men sitting or standing in cliques at one end of the room set apart for the entertainment, while the girls occupy chairs or benches ranged against the wall on the opposite side, maintaining rigidity of position, with their arms folded and their toes fixed on the same plank in the aoor which would do credit to well drilled military company. The young men are or dinarily painfully bashful. No girl would dare address word to one of the youths un- til he presents himself before her and makes a remark to her, or asks question which de- mands & reply; and to do this the young swain must have time to make up his mind, first, whether he sufficiently overcome his bashfulness to do it at all, and secondly, what he shall say when he has made up his mind to say something's dilemma in which more fortunate speakers than Crackers have not unfrequentlv found themselves. This remark which occasions such deep cogitation varies of course with the taste and character of the speaker. If he is of sentimental turn of mind he nerves himself to the emergency and, standing before her, tells her that :'thar's powerful fine chance O dogwood blossoms on the creek, and he'll fetch. her some if she wants them"
 The maiden, being the first one addressed, replies timidly: 'Pm 'bleeged to you, John; I like dogwood blossoms powerfully"
 Another speaker now ventures to select the object of his admiration, screws himself to the sticking point, and possessing a mental organization of entirely practical charac- ter, presents himself with the words: "Miss Susan, you ain't seen old Brindle lately; she's got the purtiest calf in the settlement and I want you to name it."
 To this implied compliment Miss Susan answers with blush:

The Hartford Post said concerning the last
 reelection of MT. Bulkeley as Mayor of Hart ford: "The reelection of Mayor Bulkeley will be received by the taxpayers and busi
 ness men of the city with unlimited pleasure and satisfaction. During the past six years that he has held the chief magistracy of the city, he has represented the highest and best interests of tie community, and his admin istration has been in every way honorable and patriotic" The Hartford Courant said: "We congratulate the people of Hartford upon the results of the city election of yes- terday: Mayor Bulkeley is reelected by a handsome majority, in the composition of which good citizens of both parties had a hand. Mayor Bulkeley has been good off, cial, winning increased respect and conf dence every year. and nobody doubted that the interests of the city would be safe in his hands." Does anybody doubt that the eff cient and public spirited Mayor of Hartford would make good Governor as he has good Mayori He has brains, energy and tact, and would creditably represent the State, both at home and abroad. He is man who has the ability to do public duties we'll and takes pride in doing them we'll.
