Tbe res ent trouble is mental, being, in medical terms, avaxy, or disordor of the nerves, und in plain fact an incident in his progros toward softening of the brain. Mr. Til den has been spending the summer ut Gray a tone, his handsome country lilnoe, under tho care of physicians, who tidvisod perfoct rust of niiud and body. Thoy hoped qniotndo would restoro him, but it did not, and the aonto condition has oqme on, completely disabling him. A conHtiltution of phyHiaians h w been lielil and the hopelessness of his easo is now underHlood aliko by medical men and the pationt. Mr. Tilden was sumo timo ago made aware of tho danger ho was in and the erection und decoration of his magnificent now homo in New York city wore meant by him for diversion to keep bis mind from more engrossing subject. Tho TirueB correspondent has it from a gentlemen in intimato relationship with Tilden that in cotiHoquotico of the devel opment of this necessarily fatal malady he has rcsignodly laid down Lis life work and put himself in waiting for death. As yet bis mind is clear, hut ho has Bcareely any control-of his norvos, and the physicians say that tho bruin is al ready seriously affected and will speedily degenerate, ilo may live several mouths and ho may die within that timo. The New York Herald of tho 11th has tho following from Moron, one of tho two sailors who last saw DoLong alive: "Whon our food began to give out aud we 'found no gamo, tho captain ouu day naked Ninderuian and mo if our foot were all right, anc it we felt able to go ahead on a forced march to seek help. Wo told him thai we thought we wero strong cnouch to undertake it. Capt DeLonir thcu changed his mind about sending u forward to look for help, us when Ericson died be decided that wo hud best romaiu together, lie seemed to have lit tie hopes. Two awful days with absolutely no food followed. We saw uo veUigu of game and wo wero all down hearted. On tho night of tho second day, October 8, the captain asked Niiu'.ermau if we still felt strong enough to push on ahead. Wo told him wo were able to try, aud ho then asked if we had to stand any watch that night. I told him that I had not. We kept np a regular watch every night to sou to tho tiro. Tho captain then gave - orders that we should bunk near the tire where wo could have a good sound sleep all night, s as to bo bright and fresh the next day. I asked no questions, but I knew that the captain as a last resort, had resolved onuo moro to send us ahead on the dosiwrate chanco of tlnditig relief. I shall never forgot the seeno of our last parting with the comrades whom wo wore never to see again alivo. It was in the cold gray of early moruiug, we wero all weak and despairing, but Ninderman and I had resolution enough to try and koep our appearance of bopti und cour age. They all gave us, one after another, a farewoll grasp of the haud aud gathered about us iu a mournful group, charging us with messages and appeals for help, and nrgiug ns to hasten on our way Tuero were tears in all our eyes, and 1 think there was not one of us who did not feel iu his inmost breast that we were separating never to niwt again; but wo tried to appear hopeful and coutllent, and Ninderman and I tried to cheer up thove we were leaving. I shook hsiiiU with Collins last of all, and as we did so t he said sadly: 'Xoros,, remember me when yon get to New York.' I replied: 'I will, Collins, if I live to get there.' This all took place down on tho edge of the river, and as we started on our way they all climbed up the hilly bank and gave na three cheers. Thev were given with right good will, and DoLong and ( his men stood there watching us until we Lad poue some distunce on our ay." Emil Plantamour, the Swiss antrono mor, ia doad.

Sudden deathH do not come from heart disease, one cose in twenty, but from congestion of tho lungs or brain, or from apoplexy. More die from con gestion of tho lungs than of tho brain, and more of congestion of the brain than from anpoplexy. Sudden death from heart disease is unusually caused by ruptura of some largo artery near tue heart; irom con cestion of the lungs by instantly stop ping the breath; from congestion of the brain, by causing pressure on tho Lrain which paralyzes and instantly destroys life; from apoplexy, by hemorrhage in the brain. Heart disease most frequently results from neglected or Improperly treated rheumatism. It more often follows mild rheumatism than tbe severest kind, because severe rheumatism receives prompt troutment, while the mild form is often neglected and left to work Us war to the heart. Persons who suppose themselves suf fering from heart diseaso because they have pain in tbe region of the heart, or palpitation, seldom have any disease of that organ. In nine cases ontof ten they are sufferers from dyspepsia noth ing more. Congestion of tho lungs is most frequently caused by a sudden change from the heat of aa ill-vcntiluted room, or railroad car, or horse car, to the cold air outside, without being pro tected by sufficient clothing; hence, many persons thus seized, drop dead iu the streets. Congestion of tho brain mot-t fre quently results from trouble and anxiety of mind, producing Bleeplessness, fol lowed by the engogomcnt of the small blood vessels of the brain, sudden loss of vital power, and almost instant death. Appoplexy may bo an inherited disease, or it may be induced by too free living, or its opposite, too great abstemiousness. Paralysis may affect only a small portion of tho body, from a finger or toe to an entire limb, or it may disable half the body, or tho whole body, when death soon follows. When half the body is affected by paralysis we may bo certion that the seat of the disease is in the oppo site side of tho brain, because nerve fibres cross. Partial paralysis is often temporary when caused by tbo rupture of a small blood vessel, if the clot is got rid of by absorption or otherwise. Although this is a disease that all classes of people are liablo to, its most destruct ive work is done among the depraved und dissipated. There is no doubt that tho habitual use of tobacco is one of tue most prominent causes of paralysis and other nerve diseases. A sevore cold can be soonest cured by remaining within doors, in a warm room and near the fire, until all signs of it have disAppcurod. Then care should bo taken to prevent a relapse by having the feet warmly clad and tho wholo body, and particularly the chest and the back of the neck, woll protected when going out. A recent cough will almost yield to the following treatment within two or three days: Mix in a bottle four o'uuccs of glycerine, two ounces of alcohol, two ounoes of water, two grains of morphine. Shako well. Dnso for au adult, one to two teaspoonfuls every two or three hours. Half this quaulity to children from 18 to 1") years old. It is not safe to give it to infants or children under 10 years of age. To stop bleeding, if from a cavity in tho jaw after a tooth has been extracted, sliapo a cork into tho proper form and size to cover tho cavity and long enough to bo kept firmly iu placo when the mouth is closed. This, we believe, is our own invention, and we have never known it to fail. It ban served us iu dotporato cases. Whon an artery is cut, tlio red blood spurts out at each pulsution. Press the thumb firmly over the artery near tho wound, and ou tbe side toward the heart. Press hard enough to stop the bleeding, and wait till a physician comes.

Get tho limb as nearly as possible in the natural position, and then sond for tho doctors. Thorn is no great urgency in hiieh oases. In fracture of the skull, with compress sion and loss of consciousness, examine tho wound, and, if possible, raise tho broken edgoi of tho Bkull so us to re lieve tho pressure on tho brain. Prompt action will ofteu save life. In a case of poisoning the simple rnlo is to get the poison out of the stomach us soon as possible. Mustard und salt UJt promptly as emetics, aud they are al ways at hand. Stir a teuspoonful in a glass of water, aud let the person swal low it quickly. If it does not cause vomiting within five minutes repeat the dose. After vomiting, give the whites of two or three eggs, aud send for the dootor. Pmrus and scalds aro soonest relieved by au application of cold water. Dry carbonate of soda, or baking soda, sprinkled over the burned spot is the latest remedy, and it is said to be effect ual. These means aro only temporary. In severe eases a physician should be seut for. Hall's Journal of Health. Adulteration has become n science. Wo water our stock and sauft our sugar, and dilute our prayers with many words, and have fallen no low that we use ghle in our icecream. What un appptiziii; combination is glue and cream. Wo don't know what tho glue in mado of, and for that matter we don't know what the cream is mado of, though wo have a strong feeling that any self-respecting cow would repudiate tlio idea that she hadjanytuing to do with its manufacture; but when tho glue and tho cream aro properly compounded, ono is abl i to buy a heaping plate of tho refreshment at the old price, while the profits of the saloonkeeper are indefinitely increased. The beauty of the glue is that it luakts the icecream frothy, aud deludes the un wary into the belief that he gets a great deal moro than he pays for. Thers may, however, 'be a moral side to this matter, an I if glue be taken internally will make some men stick to their word, and make others stick to their business instead of spending most of their time uttendiugto other peoplo's, it will cease to be an adulteration and become a boon.

Americana visiting some parts of Europe are opt to be shocked by the labor imposed upon womon who work in the fields, load dung carts, and some times, harnessed with u dog, help to draw their produce to market. Cut, very ofton, "things aro not what thoy seem" in this matter moro than iu any other. A remarkable illustration of the attraction that field labor has, .was afforded some years ngo in England. A contractor for various kinds of agricultural woik lorniod a gang of young women, whom he took from place to place in the eastern coun ties to perform hedging, ditching aud draining for farmers. This went on for several years, until at length the rumors of the evils from it assumed so serious a character as to result in a parliamentary inquiry. Tho cvidenoi was remarkable. It all went to show that tho women posi tively delighted iu this free, uctivo and noinadio life, and ouo of its chief charms was the astonishing health and strength they attained. Their limbs became nius cnlur, ; they had the digestions of orstriohes, ami aches and pains were unknown to them. They, in fact, enjoyed the most exquisite of nil human sensa tionsperfect health. How many Amer ican ladies enjoy that for even five years of their lives al ter 15. The other side to the matter was that tho moral well being of these agricultural amazons was by uo means on a par with tho physical. They bore children, whom they regarded as an intolerable incumbrance, inasmuch us they kept their mothers from work, nnd, cou'sequoutlj, it was ascertained by a volume of evidence they put theso chil dren out to nurse. The nurse with whom most children died was the prime favorite, and a significant feature in tho evidence was that of druggists, who tea tilled to tho enormous consumption in the district f thoso soothing syrups which so etVeetuully succeed iu soothing infants out of their existence. It was in view of the dreadful infant mortality that Parliament interfered and suppressed tho gang system. But the case of the German, Flemish or Duteu women who help husband or father iu the field is not open to this objection. If the lubor be not excessive it is desirable. It pro duces tho strong, hardy women who rear a stalwart race. Half the lino ladies who now rind a few turns on the piuzzi al most too much for tlicm would be all the better for (graduated fealo of garden work, lieginuiug with a quarter of an hour a day. thev would find at the close of u month that they could easily do their two hours, and that they ate and slept in they had never done before, while they forgot that such evils as blue devils and nerves had auy existnee.

A work on the brain by Swedenborg which for 140 rears bus Iain nunoticed in the library of the Hoyal Academy of Stockholm, bnsjnst iieen translated into English by Professor Tafel. lirrled rToaei and Property. The incapacity of a married woman to be rated even in respect of her own honse in which she lives with her hus band is due to the fact that, except to the very limited extent allowed by tbe Married Women's Property Act, a wite is still unable to bold property without tbo intervention of trustoes. Tbe ownors of a house settled to the wife's separate nse are, in contemplation of law, not the wife nor the husband, but the trustees, who allow the husband and wife to live in it. The effect of this permission is to constitute tbe husband legal occupier. Such occupation as the wife has, is, in law, the occupation of the bnsband ; and although the trustees hold for her, yot when, with their sanction, she and her husband live in the house, the effect is tbe same as if tbe trustees were strangers to her. Tbe wife is thus excluded from offices for which rating is aqualification, but under some circumstances the parish might seriously be embarrassed. The husband boing the rate payer, the wife's furniture cannot be seized for the rates, althongh it is in the bouse rated ; bo that if the husband has no property, the only way open to tbo parish of enforcing tbe rates is to put the-busband in jail until tbe wifo pays them. Such are tho ano malies which arise from retaining tbe shadow of the old rule by which hus band and wife are one, and that ouo the husband, while tbe substance has long departed. All that is required is a sim ple enactment making married woman capable of holding property. Loudon Law Journal. RUinp'ug it Deed; Blinker, a farmer of means who does not tako tho papers, nor read the laws, but who thinks his wisdom boundless, sold a pasture for 300. The purchaser, having counted out tbe money, and look ing nt tbe deed, said: "Mr. Blinker.you must put a fifty cent stamp on this deed, to muko it lawful." "What! stamp a leed; it's all folly; there is no such law,'.' vd Blinker, on his dignity. His friend explained but f nlil to make Blinker see it. nnd was obliged to to say: "Well, if you don't stamp the deed, I shall not pay you the money." "If you are so darned particular," said Blinker, I suppose I can stamp it fifty cents' worth, but I hate to spoil the squire's writing." The deed was banded him; he off with his coat, stepped back into the room, laid the deed on the floor, anil com menced stamping it with his foot.

A Vnnuee Reporter's Vacation. There is but one way to take a rest, and that is to take it, and to take it we must flee from tho scenes of routine and drudgery. There are those who aro al ways idle these never have rest. Horace talks of bis "strenuous idleness," and Grotius confesses his habit of "labori ously doing nothing." Those who have nothing to do, f"o uot have a fair chance in the world. But wo speak to more who have overmuch to do, and who must rest or die, nnd if thoy do not take care, rest and die, and then run tho risk of getting whero there are no sea breeze? and spring wuter.

To say that it imparts an expression of strong miiideduess and most unlovely tnariisli uess to oven tho most delicate features and complexion, very faiutly describes the disfigurement of this ne craze.
