EX-GOV. TILDEN. ' 'The Reports Current «» to Bit Intended Xlarriagc — A Charming Southern Young Lady Alleged to be the Chosen Bride, [New York Journal.] A very remarkable report was about town yesterday. It filled the hearts of all true Democrats with joy, moved to rap ture every eligible maiden and delighted even the sterner sex. The report was sim ply to the effect that President Samuel J. Tilden had at last become tired of the mo notony of a bachelor life, and had deter mined to take a wife to his bosom. It was difficult to obtain an authentic confirms tion or denial of the statement in this city, as the ex-president was out of town. All that was known was that the ex-pres ident had been extremely attentive to a very charming young lady from New Or leans, now in this cityhad paid her numer ous visits and had spent considerable amounts of money on very magnificent floral offerings, which, if not laid at her feet, were at least placed on her table. There are in the vicinity of Grammercy park a great many eligible young ladies as well as widows, who had often consid ered Mr. Tilden a very valuable matrimo nial prize. The story, which was repeated from mouth to mouth in a very gingerly fashion —everybody who told it impressing the strictest secrecy from everybody else created, therefore, quite a flutter in femi nine hearts. Could it be true? Was the ice which had so long inclosed the appar ently frigid heart of the great statesman and rightful president of the United States •daring the fraudulent incumbency of Hayes broken ? Every one felt a profound curiosity to know the truth, so I wended my way to the superb mansion in Gram mercy park, on which, with a truly presi dential simplicity, are inscribed upon the smallest of door plates, the words, 'S. J. Tilden." A FBUITLESS EKBAND. The house is one of the grandest in the —in some respects equal to Vander bilt's in Fifth avenue. A gorgeous foot man in yellow livery opened the portals. "Is Mr. Tilden in?" I asked. Tne yellow liveried functionary was extremely non committal, and had" evidently taken Tal leyrand's maxim as a guide—that language was meant to conceal thought and not to express it. To cut the matter short I plainly asked: "Is there any truth in the report port that Mr. Tilden is going to be mar ried The footman, with an air of injured in nocence, exclaimed: "Married!" And he repeated the exclamation as though there was an insult or affront in the very sug gestion. "You are joking?" he asked. <:No, indeed." I replied, and I noticed then that he grew thoughtful as though he was calling to mind some things which he had forgotten and which shed a new light upon my astounding question. "If he is going to be married," said the factotum, '•I don't know it. All I can tell you is we have made no arrangements for any wed ding." '"Why, the wedding cake is not baked yet 1 asked. "No, not yet," the man replied, laughingly. THE BBIDE INTEEVIEWBD. I next wended my way to the New York hotel, where I understood the family of the alleged bride dwell. It was a delicate mat ter to ask the young lady whether she was about to be married to one of the most re nowned statesmen and bachelors of the country, and so, instead of sending my card direct. I addressed her father as Jfol- IOWB: My Dear Mr. : If it is not asking you too much, will you kindly let me know whether there is any truth in the state ment that your daughter is engaged to Samuel J. Tilden, as the news is all over town, and I respect you too much to do an injustice to any member of your family by publishing the report as true if it is not well founded. Very soon a boy came rushing down stairs to summon me to the presence of Mr. . the young lady's father as I sup posed, but of the mother and daughter as I found to my agreeable surprise. "I beg a thousand pardons for the intru sion," I began. '•Not at aIL" was the reply of Mrs. , who was seated beside a very pretty young girl. "May I ask you, madam, whether it is true that your daughter is engaged to be married to Samuel J. Tilden?" "No truth whatever in it, is there Nina?" Mrs. (the name is withheld from obvions motives of delicacy) replied, turning to her daughter. Miss Nina turned out to be a tall, grace ful bi anette of an unmistakable Southern type, with features expressive of great in telligence and loveableness of disposition, beautiful complexion, dark brown hair, soft, deep hazel eyes that would melt the most confirmed of bachelors, small hands and —indeed a very pretty girl. Her manner v: ps delightfully frank and win ning. There is a strange likeness to a casual observer between her and the Jer sey Lily. En parenthese, it may be re marked that the young lady, who looks twenty, is said to . be a highly accom plished artist in water colors. Miss Nina laughed, looked at some love ly floral offerings in the room and said smilingly: "I don't believe Gov. Tilden has seriously contemplated anything so serious—certainly, lam not engaged to him!" A TKIP TO GEEXSTOKE. 1 determined to sift the secret to the bot tom, and proceeded to Yonkers in order to hunt up the ex-president himself and get from his o-.vn lips the true solution"of the puzzle. After a short ride from the depot I arrived at Greystone, a splendid country house picturesquely situated on the top of a high hill with a superb sweep of the river before it. It is one of the highest points in the neighborhood, and there are few houses that control so magnificent a view. The numberless little turrets and bastions give the visitor the idea of an old castle. The spacious grounds besutifully laid out and cultivated in the best taste deepen that impression. As I passed by the window I could see the ox-president seat ed in his parlor reading attentively by a lighted fire a letter. Whether after his tender perusal of the epistle he kissed it and put it to his heart as the traditional love-sick suitor is generally represented to do I cannot conscientiously state, for I was much more absorbed in the question as to the kind of reception I was about to enjoy. A WATCH DOG. On this point little room for doubt re mained in my mind, for presently a huge dog, looking as if he had evidently been disappointed at not now having a national berth in the White house and being the presidential dog of the country, rushed at me ferociously and began to imprint his huge teeth upon my coat-tails. The dog, instead of being reproved, was encouraged in his murderous design by a malicious servant. '•What is all this about!" queried Mr. Tilden, as he emerged from the parlor into the hall and called off the dog. Mr. Tilden looked remarkably well he was very neat ly attired in black, with his usually small cravat daintily tied across a spotless shirt front. HOW HE LOOKED. There was a juvenile and festive appear ance about him, as though he had been re juvenated by some event . entirely aside from his nsnal rontine in life. I stam mered and blushed before I was able to propound to the illustrious ex-president the extremely ticklish question which it was my mission to ask. "Mr. President," I began. "I am not president," replied the ex president. "Well, governor," said I. "Excuse me, I am not governor," was the next reply, given with a withering tone which ought to have annihilated me, but didn't. "Well, pardon me, Mr. Tilden, but we have had some very exciting reports in townas to your intended marriage, and as that would be an event which would inter est our readers very much, I should like to know all the particulars, and especially something about the trousseau of the bride." Ex-President Tilden was perfectly speechless. He looked aghast at me, and for about two minutes was apparently un able to speak. "You dare question me on such a sub ject?" asked he, in accents tremulous with wrath. "I only ask for truth," I responded plain tively, "in the interest of the public, who, you know, take the very deepest concern in everything regarding you." The ex-president gave another look of indignation and walked away, leaving me to infer either that he was going to marry, but was not quite ready yet to have it an nounced,or that he had not made tip his mind whether he would marry or not, in which case the publication might be premature, or that he was not perhaps intending to marry at all. On my way back I talked with some of the people in the neighbor hood, and they told me they had seen some thing unusually gay lately about the dis tinguished statesman, and that large nose gays and baskets of flowers gathered from his own hot-house had been going up to the city for days and days past. Whether the report was really true or not only time and the marriage column of the Morning Journal will tell, but there are several hundred gossips in New York, both mala and female, who insist that the re port is true, and that the president is about to take the fatal plunge into matrimony which he has delayed so long. Mother Swan's.Worm Syrup. Infallible, tasteless, harmless, cathart'c* for feverisaness, restlessness, worm 3, constipation. 25c. A. Comic Incident Sot inthe Bills, [New York World.] A well-known gentleman of this city, who attended the performance of Mr. Wyndham's play of "Brighton" on Friday evening of last week, and who occupied a comfortable seat inthe middle of the par quet, was much electrified at an interest ing moment in the entertainment by feel ing something suddenly fall, apparently from the ceiling of the theater, into hia lap. Hastily glancing downward, what waa his horror to see a complete set of false teet sharply denned on his faultless even ing trousers! In his astonishment he cl ipped his hands to his mouth to assure himself that his own apparatus of mastica tion was in its proper place and in good condition. Reassured on this point, he turned to his neighbor, who was eyeing him with mingled suspicion and disgust, and politely queried: "May I ask if th3se teeth are your property, sir?" "Certainly not," said the other. "Then I should like to know whore the d —l they came from?" "You had better ask the manager. Pos sibly it is a part of the play." The curtain soon after falling, the re cipient of this unusual favor, wrapping the teeth in a play bill, went out to the box office and invited the treasurer to take charge of them. "Well," said the treasurer, "I have seen almost everything in the world left in a theater in my time, but this is the first set of teeth that was ever brought to the office. Where do you suppose they came from?" "That is precisely what I should like to know. I was seated in the middle of the house and they must have fallen down from the ceiling. Is there a dentist up there?" While the treasurer and the gentlemaa were conferring together, the anxious face of an American lady of African descent was thrust over the shoulder of one of them. "Well, honey," she exclaimed, "if you haven't got my teeth! 1 done iu.^t c®rae to get them." The box-ofneer turned and looked stern ly at the woman. "Open your mouth," he snid. She hastily obeyed, and disclosed a com plete and magniticent set of glittering grinders. '"What the deuce do you mean by claim ing these teeth?" said the box-keepar. 'How many set do yon wear?" Thus driven into a corner, tho American lady of African descent, after a little [hesi tation, admitted that the teeth did not be long to her, but to her friend Beliada Jane, who wa6 waiting in the lobby. Belinda Jane being summoned, appeared with an abject countenance, and her mouth was found on investigation to present a dtplor able hiatus. The box-keeper fitted the teeth in and found that they undoubtedly belonged to Belinda Jane, who vas then called upon to explain what she meant by throwing the teeth in the lap of a perfect stranger and how ehe had succeeded in doing it. It turned out that Belinda Jane and her friend, actuated by mingled motives of economy and of interest in tho drama, had clambered up into tho cock loft of the theater, and there extending themselves at full length on the floor, had been tran quilly enjoying the play through a great ventilation hole in the ceiling; when a par ticularly comical incident on the stage threw Belinda Jane into a convulsion of laughter, in the course of which the delin quent teeth flew out of her mouih and fell through the hole into the parquet. The moral of the story will need to be settled between the dentists and the archi tects. The first step in teaching the art of em balming was taken in Philadelphia a few days ago at the school for embalming, an institution of which the patrons, it is need less to say, are all undertakers. Two bodies were embaimed. They were laid out on light benches and the principal of the school explained to the class tbo circula tion of blood, which is the basis of the ■ystem practiced. An incision was first made in the right thigh of one of the sub jects, and a large artery brought to the sur face, which was cut and a tube connected with a small force pump inserted in tho opening. When the pump was worked the veins filled with the liquid, the ingredients of wliich are not revealed. Three or four quarts usually suffice for a subject, but the quantity necessary of course depends upon the person. It is not essential that an artery in the leg should be opened, those in the arm and neck serving almost as well. A body can be perfectly preserved by the injection for from one month to several years. Skill in the Wobkshop.— To do good work tho mechanic must have good health.

PAUL DAILY GLOBE, THURSDAY M3ENING, DBOfiMBER 7, 1882. FINANCE & COMMERCE. Board of Trade. St. Paul, Dec. 7, 1882. . The market is rather quiet here, and shippers of grain are not inclined to take present prices, but to hold on for better figures. Wheat is slow of sale, and there is only a light milling demand, for hard wheat. There is very little old corn in market and what there is is sold by sample several cents above the value of new corn. New corn is weaker at quotations and hard to sell. Oats are strong, in good demand with light stocks. Ground feed is fairly active. Baled hay is steady at prices. Barley is in poor demand and is hard to sell at reasonable prices. The following are the quotations: Wheat—No. 1 hard, 93c bid, $1 asked; December, 98c bid; January, $1, bid; May, $1.05 bid; No. 1, 94c asked; No. 2, hard, 93c.bid, 94c asked; No. 2, 88c bid, 90c asked. ?";'" Corn—No. 2, old none; new Kansas 55c bid, 60c asked; new lowa 45c bid, soc asked. —No. 2, mixed, 34J^c bid, 3Gc asked; No. 3 mixed, 33c bid; No. 2, white, 35c bid, 36^c asked; No. 3, white, 34)^c bid; 35c asked; rejected, 30c bid.

The demand for miscellaneous assort ments very moderate, although forwarding of cottons, in anticipation of spring wants and low er prices, continue of very steady proportions. Santucket Past and Present. Nantucket is a raft of sand fourteen miles long, moored forty miles from main land. Over it constant sea breezes move, and from it multitudes of people go bathing, sailing and fishing. The water is comfortable, the bay wide, the town ancient and interesting and the surf on the south side very fine. Naxt tucket -was bought of the Indians in 1<359 for £30 and two beaver hats— about the price of two small cottage lots. In 1673 small boats began to put oif for the whales which sported about the island, and for many years the de scendants of Jonah's temporary board ing-house were thus captured, 'in 17(">o the first whale ship went to the Pacific. Business increased, and in IS4O Nan tucket, with 10,000 inhabitants, boasted that she " lighted the world." But two great fires have devastated the town, a sand-bar obstructs the channel, supplies are not 1 obtained as easily as at New- Bedford, and to-day there are but 3,300 people. Not a whale-ship sails from the dock, the young men do not pace the quarter-deck, but carry summer visitors here and there, and old Captains keep boarding-houses and open restaurants on the "European plan, v as one of them told me. Still there are interesting suggestions of the former days. " Walks," or platforms, are seen on the tops of many houses, from which peo ple once looked down on the bay to see friends and neighbors put out to sea for a cruise of three or four years. Thence, also, longing eyes were cast toward the ships coming to town heavily laden with oil. The old Captains (they"are all Cap tains) tell exciting stories of their ad ventures among whales and sharks. One good woman told me that in the twenty-one years in wliich her husband followed the sea he was at home in all but eleven months. The officers and crew always went out on shares. The Captain had the twelfth to sixteenth " lay," that is, one barrel of oil to every twelve or sixteen barrels; the first mate had the one-twtfnty-fifth to one-twenty eighth; second mate, one-forty-fifth; third mate, one sixtieth; cooper, one forty-fifth; the boat steerers, one .seventy-seventh to one-eighty-fifth; sea men, one-one hundred and fiftieth to one two hundredth. With ordinary success a man could retire at 50 with a compe tence. Writer's Cramp. This ailment consists mainly of spasms caused by excessive labor of the muscles of the hand, especially of the fingers. It is not confined to writers—as the name would imply—but persons are liable to it who are engaged in sewing, knitting, drawing, playing on the piano and in other employments which demand con tinuous use of the fingers and hands. Only those, however, seem to have a special tendency to it who are of a nerv ous diathesis—ha,ve inherited an undue nervous sensitiveness. Writing is a very complicated process, involving the harmonious action of sev eral small muscles of the fingers, and a few of the hand and forearm. Some of these muscles draw the fin gers in toward each other; others draw them outward; still others turn the hand to tho right or left. The spasms so act on these muscles as either to cause the thumb and forefinger to grasp the pen convulsively, or to twirl it on its axis, or to lift it suddenly from the paper. In the earlier stages of the disease there is a slight, hardly noticed sensa tion of tension in the hand. If the trouble progresses, the hand becomes fatigued, and there is a tremor of the fingers; the formation of strokes be comes more and more difficult; the spasms and weakness increase, and the tension becomes painful, and extends to the forearm, and even to the muscles of the shoulder and breast. In some patients neuralgic pains may be added. Eosenthal regards it 88 Somewhat analogous to stuttering, and says it may be termed a "stuttering of the muscles." The lighter forms connected witli an impoverished condition of the blood (anaemia), dyspepsia, or over-exerfkm, may be arrested by a rest of the hand and a tonic treatment of the system. The severer f orcns are incurable, though they may be helped "by prolonged rest, svu] by whatever will tend to moderate the nervous excitability Youth's Com panion. The mistress has gently reprimanded her maid for oversleeping herself in the morning. "You see, ma'am," explained the servant, "I sleep very slowly, and so you see, ma'am, it takes me much longer to get my full sleep than it does 01 H-r*. you see, ma'am." Billlßsrfl Lots.

The Poof, and Kow it Shonld be Treated. : The human foot is an •'. instrument ad mirably adapted to all the various uses it has to serve, which fashion has done its best to spoil by improper treatment. The bones of the instep are so adjusted as to form an arrangement "which com bines in exquisite perfection the resist ance of the arch with as much elasticity as enables it to bear safely the prodig ious strain to which it is subjected. The whole frame of the foot is kept in posi tion and made capable of its proper range of movement by means of muscles and tendons, constituting a living and sen sitive bandage, increasing or relaxing its pull or pressure in the most exact obedience to our will. In a soand, free foot, each part of the machinery is in constant readiness to bring it in the re quired position, whether to lift the body to bound, or to sustain the shock of the whole weight in coming down again, or to perform any other of a number of complications of movement. How per fectly the foot is adapted for these pur poses, and protected against too great pressure and sudden shock, is shown by the fact that such violent actions as leap ing, or the being burdened with a weight twice or thrice that of the whole body, causes no uneasiness to a sound foot; the injury, if any, resulting from such exer tions being usually felt elsewhere. The skin, very thin and delicate on the upper part of the foot, is thick and tough, though soft and pliable, on the sole. Beneath it is a layer of fat, strengthened by strong fibers crossing it and binding it to the muscles and ligaments. The sole can endure great pressure and even violent shocks, but is at the same time curiously sensitive, especially to the touch. It is very easily tickled. This property serves a very important purpose in walking, for the pressure upon the ground stimulates the muscles of the foot to their required activity, without any effort of the will, and indeed, with out our being conscious of the opera tion. This spontaneous alertness of the muscles, on which the energy and grace of movement depends, can be secured only by their being kept uncramped, free, and well exercised. How much the shoemaker's shoes, cramping the foot, jamming the toes upon each other, distorting the shape of the organ, lifting the heel up so that the weight of the body is thrown upon the toes, prevent this, needs no elaboration. The lesson of these observations is that the shoe should give plenty of room all around to the foot, that the sole should be thin nest and narrowest at the "waist," where elasticity is wanted, broad and thick at the tread, where protection is most re- I quired, and that no one should be ashamed of the size of his foot. "A well-formed large one is a far pleasanter sight than the smallest one distorted." Magnetize the Eeil. A German has occupied many years in studying the art of bed-making, or, rather, bed placing. Baron Reichen bach, the painstaking German, main tains that improperly placed beds will shorten a man's life. He says: If a mere magnet exercises an influ ence on sensitive persons, the earth's magnetism must certainly make itself : felt on the nervous life of man. In whatever hemisphere you may l>e, always sleep with your feet to' the equator,*and let your body lie "true as a needle to the pole." The Baron says the polar direction of the body is of the utmost importance for the proper circulation of the blood, and many disturbances in the human organisms have been cured by simply placing the bolster at a different point of the compass from that it had occu pied. Let such as have hitherto been in the habit of sleeping with their heads where their feet ought to be take to heart the example of the late Dr. Fischweiter, of Magdeburg, who died recently at the age of 102 years. The most unhealthy position, we are told, is when the body lies due east and west. Some observers assure us that to sleep in such a posture is tatamount to committing suicide, and that diseases are often aggravated by deviations from the proper posture. Christian at Work.
