TILDENIS BIRTHDAY.
ASTNIGH7S BAKQUETIN new YORK
Hon. Henry WattersOn'S Eloquent Memorial
Address.
EXTRACTSFROM THE GRANDTRIBUTE
Life and Character Of the Sage Of Grammercy
Park.

NEW YORK, February 9-Ine anniver-
sary Of Samuel J. Tilden's birth was
marked tonight by the Harlem Demo
cratic Clnb, with memorial barquet, at
which the Hon. Henry Watterson deliver
ed an address of commemoration. The
following are extracts from thst address:
":Whilst he lived no detraction or oblo-
guy conld make me afraid or ashamed to
pay to the homage the most disintere:ted
and sincere, and now that be is dead and
there can be no longer selfish motivd as
cribed to my estimate of the man, and his
work and worth. l feel q kind of triumph
in repeating it with the added emphasis
not only personal b sreavement in his loss,
bat for fixed belief in its truth"
''The nomination of Horace Greely as
Cincinnati, fell as bombshell in The DEM
ocratic camp. The impossible had come to
pass, and whilst professional politicians
disgruntled and dismayed were hal.ing and
doubling, the clear mental vision of this
astute and practical statesman saw that
the impossible empracsd the inevitable.
"Hs was chairman of the New York
State Democratic Committee and at the
critical juncture we were thrown much to-
gather and finding our elves in entire
agreement, whilst many of oar associates
were hesitating and hanging back there
arose between us a strong fellowship OF
opinion and sympathy. When, two years
later, l saw my yokemste in misfortune
nominated and elected Governor of New
York what wonder that l thought that at
last the m N had come and that the paIiy
had .un its long sought leader. 4
''He mad never sought offic'; bat he was
never Indifferent TO it,"
at would never be easy to picture q
more engaging personality than that OF
this eminent and genial man at this time
when elected Governor He had never
married but his encourage was that of tee
completest and moet perfect domestcity,
disfigured by none of the isolation snd
squalor which so often accompany pro-
longei cehbacy. His house in Gram

ty as unchallenged as . Bishopric. :"

A NEW FOUNDRY

TIC be Built In Bellslre on the Site of the
Burnt Ohio Valley Foundry.
The cite Of the burnt Ohio Valley foun-
dry at Bsllsire was yesterday purchased by
Messre. John Parks and Henry Lewis, the
original builders of the concern. 1t is the
intention Of these gentlemen TO immedi-
ately rebuild foundry on theOld grounds.
Some other stockholders will be taken in.
Mr.. Parks aud Mr.. Lewis are two of the
most skilled foundrymen in the country,
and it behooves the people of Bellai'e to
encourage them in every way they can.
The old foundry was doing splendid, and
was making money when the conhagration
swept it away. The new firm expects to
shsps matters so that the second works
will even do better than the first.

SHE SLEEPS AGAIN.
EMMA ALTHOUSE'S LONG TRANCE.
A Short Spell Of Waking After Thry-fOur
Days Slumber.
PHYSICIANS ARE STILL PUZZLED.
The Attica Wonder Eats Little, and Knows
What Happens.

ATTcA, n. Y, February 9.-The
"Sleep.ng Beauty" of Attics, as she is
called, awakened from one of her long
frances Tuesday morning, after a nap of
thirty-four days. Toe casa puzzles the
physicians greatly. Some call it hysteIia,
but Dr.. A. H, Nichols, of this village,
says that, although ne has read mp all
cases that have any bsaring on the sui jact,
nowhere can he find the parallel OF this
one.
While on a visit 10 relatives in the east
ern part of this State, in 1887, Mrs. Emma
Althouse became suddenly i'll with what
the family physician called a severe case OF
dyssaterv. This was followed by irtll I'M
nation of the bowels, causing the form
alton cf assesses in the bowels and stom-
sch. When these ab5cesses had been re-
heved the pltient usually fell into
sound slumber lasting at first abont thIe'
DAYS. She would then be partially awake
for day and a night, after which she
would again gradually sink back into a
trance lasting from seven to eleven dsys.
Daring the entire psIiOd of her illness 1t
cannot be remembered that she has sat up
once. but her mind has been sufficiently
clear at times to briefly converse with her
physician.
'Oh, am so tired; must go back to
Sleep" she would say.
"How long are you going to sleep this
time. L nma?N he Would ask.
"Oh, don't know; won't wake up ioE
ten days" ST.,
In this way che has usually predicted
tAe Ieaglh of each trance, never awakening
nor allowing herself TO be awakened by
the doctors efforts before the period an
nounced. The fcoi taken by the patient
during her entire illness would hardly kesp
an iafsns alive month. she can retain no
solid food whstever, and it is with the
greatest dif1i,ulty that a spoonful OF mlik
and coffes can be administered. 0nSuCday
evening, March II, 1888, she sank into o
trance. In the eight days prior TO this
sleep she partook of enourishment tnan
in all the six months pr; ceding, being q llt-
tie over a slassful OF milk administered In
teaspoonfuls. While in this trance heI
teeth were closed as firmly as wise, and al
efforts to pry them open TO sdmlnls'ei
food were unsuccessful The first few days
her BODY was somewhat flushed, but Later

His deliberation was unfsiling, and
sometimes carried the idea Of indiscretion
not TO say love of procrastination."
"a character further from the sublime
schemer sitting behind his colcealment
and pulling his wiree, which his political
and party enemies. discovered him to be as
room as he began to get in the way of the
machine and to obstruct the march of the
self-elect, it would be hard to find"
HE did not believe in promises as spec
ifics for reform. His pursuit of good gov
eminent was as the pursuit of other men
for fame and fortune"
Referring to Mr. Tilden's candidacy in
1876, and his subsequent declinatiOns in
1880 and 1884, Mr.. Watterson said:
"Kinglake, the historian Of the war in the
Crimea, describes the impression which
Louis Napoleon made upon Europe when,
in 1s48, he respp cared as President of
France, as that of a man who had twice
fallen ont of a balloon without hurting
himself The case of Mr.. Tilden is much
stronger one. 1t presents to us the spec
tacle of man who once elected to the
Chief Magistracy twice declined nomins-
tons to that great Office, one at least Of
which was equivalent to an election. In
each instance his declination was entirely
genuine. He desired the nomination as
little 10 1880 as in 1884. There was never
a more mistaken notion than that he was
man eager for place or willing to make
sacrifices TO obtain it."
81 know that Mr. Tilden did not make
promise to spend dollar to obtain the
nomination in 1876, and that within my
personal knowledge, he twice refused cor
rupt arrar gaments by either one of which
his Inauguration would have been reason
ably sure"
"Inevsr heard him utter word of
complaint touching the cavalier treatment
he received in the Cincinnati convention
in 1880. He believed that the renomi-
nation of the of the old ticket was the
logic of the situation; but he had no wish
personal to himself, on the subject, and,
if the nomination had, in spite of his let
ter, come to him, he would have ac-
ceptedit."
1T is undoubtedly true that Mr.. Til
den wanted to be President, and that he
believed himself elected to be, but rather
than enter the White House by the back
door, he preferred not to enter it at all.

Rov. MIR. MARQUIS on tho waltz.

Rock ISLAND, Ills, February 9.-An-
other religious attack upon the social
pleasures of the day was made from the
pulpit of the Broadway Presbyterian
Church by the Rev. W. S. Marquis Sunday
night. SIT is no sccident, " he said, that
the dance is what it is. 1t mingles the
sexes in such closeness of personal approach
and contact as is nowhere else tolerated in
respecta BILE society. 1t does this under a
complexity of circumstances which con-
spire to heighten its improperly. This
picture may be seen: 1t is evening. The
hour is late. There is a delicious intoxi
cation of motion and music-perhaps of
wine-in the blood. There is a strange,
confused sense of being individually OBJ
served among so many, while yet thenatu-
raj noble shame which guards the purity
Of man and woman alone together is alb
sent. Such is the occasion, and still hour
after hour the dance whirls its gay kaleid-
oscope around, bringing hearts so near that
they almost beat against each other, mix
ing the warm breath together, darting the
fire of electricity between the meeting fin
gers, fushiDg face and Tightening the eyes
with q quick language
