There will be a general sale OF


all the buildings belonging to the
Centennial Board of Finance on


Thursday, Nov. Both, at II o'clock


a. N. The list comprises the main


building and carriage annex, ag-


ricultural hall, pomological an


neXes, the art annex, photograph


er's exhibition building, shoe


and leather buildings, Judges


hall, butter and cheese building,


guard, station house, and various


other small buildings. Particu-
lars of the sale will be furnished


in pamphlet form, on application,
ten days before the appointed
time. The sale was authorized


by the Board OF Finance at its
session last Monday.


The expectation that the most
Of the State buildings on the
grounds would be presented to
the city at the close Of the eXhibi-
ton will probably prove not well
founded, as with only one excep.


ton they are Of frame, and, aside
from the danger Of fire, the CON
tinuous expense in painting and
repairing would soon equal the
original cost Of the structures,
thus detracting from their actual
value for park purposes. The
Ohio State building, unlike the
rest, was erected almost entirely
of stone, and has been so substan-
tally built that it will for years
preserve its present appearance
as an ornament. The original in
tention was to presentthis struc-
ture to the city, and, at recent
meetings Of the Ohio State Board
the subject of its transfer to the
park commissioners has been
considered. Though no definite
action has been taken in the mat
ter, ii is probably that some ar
satisfactory to both
the donors and recipients will be
made at an early day. The Ger
man pavilion, a substantially
built structure, may also in due
time become the property of the
city, as the German commission
ers generally favor the project of
presenting it to the park commits
sion. A member Of the commits
sion some time since wrote to the
Minister of Foreign Affairs at
Berlin for instructions in regard
to the proposed tranfer, and an
answer favorable to thess planl Of
permitting it to remain perma-
nently is expected. SO far as at
present known, it seems likely
chat the other minor buildings
will be sold to the highest bidder
or disposed Of at private sale at
the close of the exhibition. Pur
chasers for many.of them are nu-
merous and fair prices will doubt
less be obtained.

TO the thoughtful, the moral


consequences of tension and hur-


ry are very saddening; to the
physician their results are Il mat


ter of profund concern-their


grave evils come daily under his


observation. No evolution of the


force can take place with undue


rapidity without danger to the


machine in which the transforma-


ton is effected. Express railway
stock has a much shorter term Of
use than that reserved for slower


traffic. The law is universal that
intensity and duration of action
are Universally proportioned. 1t is


therefore no matter Of surprise


to find that the human nervous
system is no exception to the law.
The higher salubrity Of rural over
urban life is not entirely a matter
Of fresh air and exercise. Rural


life involves leisure and pause i'll
work, which are very essential


to the maintenance of the ner-
Yous system in state of due nu-
triton. Unremitting spasm soon
ceases altogether. The tension
of life produces weakness at the
very place where strength is most
needed. The damage done to
the health Of the most valuable
part Of the community, the best
trained thinkers, the most useful
workers, is incalculable. Work
and worry, though not proportion
al, are closely connected, and an
excess of the former soon entails
an increase in the latter beyond
the limits which the nervous sys-
tenn can bear with impunity, es-
pecially under the condition un-
der which work has to be done. |
The machinery for organizing the
work of community has to be
rigid and intleXible, and in the
strain involved in bringing a !
organism into harmony |
with a machine, the former must |
inevitably sulier.-London Lancet.

made many purchases, before
they knew It they had spent all

had lost their return excursion

FROM the DOslOn IllOtsJ


A short time ago poor Irishwoman, whose
husband had been killed in the war, called on
Gen. B. F. Butler, in Boston, to ask for his in
1uence in getting employment for her son as
laborer in the navy yard. She told her pitt
full story-of cold nights and days in their
miserable lodging, of the weary walks of her
son, seeking a days labor to stop the slow
starvation-and every word she said was
proved by the wretched shawl, the white face
and wasted figure. He heard the story as If
he was used to it, and was taking out his wal
let to give her dollar and let her go, when
he asked in his gruf way; "Where's your hus-
band, ma'am?"


"He was killed in the war, sir-in New Or
leans-under you," said the widow, and she
broke down, sobbing as If her heart would
burst, and covering her face with her apron.


Old Ben put his wallet in his pocket, and
stood up with a strange glitter in his eye for
a moment, looking at the woman's misery and
grief. Then he told her to be quiet-asked
her husbands name and regiment-and called
one of his clerks. After looking through a
large book, and making notes, he told the
poor woman to call on him in a fortnight,
when he returned from Washington; and he
also promised he would give her the letter for
her son. With grateful heart the widow went
away.


Three days afterward Gen. Butler was in
Washington, and he made it his business to
see about the widows case at the War De-
partment. He found that pension was due
to her of 81 ,175, and the money was trans
ferred to his care for her use after proper for
malities. When the two weeks had expired,
the widow called on him in Boston for the let
ter for her son.


Here it is" said the General; "this will get
him work, and his wages will be enough to
support you and him in comfort. And here"
he added, pulling out an envelope, sis another
letter containing 81, ,175 for yourself, due to
you by the United States. Lodge this in the
bank IN your own name, and if ever you want
TO invest il in any other way come 20 me and
I'll tell you how"


Then he sat down and enjoyed the emotion.
When the first flood of joy and surprise was
over the grateful widow pulled out hundred
dollar note from the money, and handed it to
the General.


"No, no. said Butler; 81 never yet took
dollar from a widow, and Pm too old to begin
by taking it from the widow of a soldier"

not more than three or four, in this great city,
had the wicked audacity or abject cowardice
to withhold their names and support, and not
the least conspicuous in this small bad lot was
Samuel j. Tilden.


Time ran on; the four years of struggle, suf-
fering and blood eliminated in the perpetua-
tion of great nation, with its laws respected
and its Constitution inviolate. Nor did Samuel
j. Tilden aid in this glorious consummation.


Mr.. Tilden, with an adroitness and subtlety
for which he is remarkable, has made no little
effort to recover from the odium of his disloyal
acts by certain prominence in exposing the
frauds and yillainies of the Tweed ring, but
those familiar with his political history do not
forget that, as chairman of the Democratic
committee, he acquiesced In the use of his
name to the infamous "secret circular" by
which the stupendous frauds on the ballot
were perpetrated In 1868 and the electoral vose
of the State declared in favor of Seymour and
Hoffman. To this charge the report of the
Congressional Committee on Election Frauds
bears witness, (see testimony of 8. ]. Tilden
before said committee.) This success es-
tablshed Tweed's power in the city
and made so much of wick
edness and fraud possible. Tilden was a sup
porter of the party which Tweed controlled,
and no open effort was made by him to purge
the party until the New York Times bold,
searching and continued exposure of the frauds
reused the people to drive out the robbers who
controlled the city government. Mr.. Tiden,
swept in by the popular current and seeing his
opportunity, assumed certain prominence in
exposing the ring, doubtless with view of
succeeding to Tweed's position of leader, and
to-day he is accepted (on such record) by the
Democratic party as its candidate for Presi-
dent. Do the leaders of the party suppose
that history is blotted out and the lessons of
the war forgottenf Or is there such poverty
of loyal, honest men in the Democratic party
that Tilden is about the best they can offer for
DODular suDDOrt?

able performance of the duty assigned them.
none have done better than Judge VIM. r.
Brown, of Kansas. His position on the

was possible TO prevent the preparation of
the great fraud by which Goode Was con-
tinued in his seat and his speech on that
occasion attracted much notice and has been
extensively read since. 1t is hoped that
his constituents will honor him with a re-
election, as the services of such men as he
are too valuable to be lost to the country,
and that value is certain to augment with
enlarged experience.
