His Unexpected Death at Grey
stone.
Full Account of His Last Illness
Ho Retained His Faculties Until
the Bud— Sketch of His Life.
NKW YOKK, Aug. I.—Samuel .1. Til
den died this morning, lie passed a-
way peacefully at Clrcystone at S. 45 o'-
clock. There were present with him
Charles E. .Simonds, Samuel S.vift and
his niece, Miss Gould. His death was
entirely unexpected, and was due to
failure of the heart, following an acute
attack of diarrhoea and nausea.
As soon as tho news of Mr. Tilden's
death was received at Yonkers there
was a good deal of excitement over It.
Instantly the tl igs of tl:e city buildings
ami newspaper otlices were displayed at
half mast, and expressions of regret
were heard on all sides at the death of
the eminent statesman. It is said he
had not been feeling well for several
days.
Mr. Tilden had been in very feeble
health for some time, yet ids sudden
demise this morning was entirely unex
pected. The end was peaceful and
quiet. There were present at the time
Mr. Tilden's niece, Miss Gould, ami
Doctors Charles E. Simonds and Sam
uel Swift.
For several months he had been en
joying unusually good health, and in
the last six months had gained 35
pounds in fiesh. On Saturday lie was
taken with a slight chill while sitting
on the porch overlooking the Hudson
river, and was removed to his room,
where he was attended by bis friend, Dr.
C. E. Simonds. of New York, who is
stopping with his family on tne neigh
boring estate. The cold settled in his
bowels and stomach, causing vomiting
and purging. With medical aid he felt
much better on Sunday and went out
in his carriage. Monday and yesterday
he also felt much better. Last night
Mr. Tilden was taken again with the
same symptoms while in the parlor and
was supported to his room by his valet
and private secretary, George F. Smith.
On reaching his room the ex-Governor
experienced trouble in breathing. This
alarmed his friends, and Dr. Simonds
was called. The patient was suffering
from nausea and diarrhoea, and was in
great distress. The difficulty in breath
ing ceased after a while, and he was
placed in bed. Later he was assisted
to an easy chair. Dr. Simonds remain
ed with him all night. Early this
morning Mr. Tilden began to grow
worse, and was again placed in bed.
The generation of the gases in his stom
ach and bowels distended them and
caused the failure in the action of the
heart. A second attack of the ditlici.F
ty in breathing recurred and Dr. Swift,
of Yonkers, was called in consultation.
Ile arrived at Greystone at 8 o'clock,
but Mr. Tilden was then beyond the
reach of all medical skill. The two
physicians consulted together in whis
pers, but nothing could be done. No
words were uttered by Mr. Tilden after
Dr. Swift's arrival, Ile remained con
scious to the last. The labored breaths
grew fainter and more feeble, and at
8.45 a. m. the face of the dying man be
gan to change. The ashen pallor of
death slowly crept over Ins counte
nance. llis eyes slowly closed and his
muscles relaxed, and at 8.5*1 he breath
ed his last. At the time of his death
the only persons in the room were Drs.
Simonds and Swift, Miss Anna Gould,
a relative, the amanuensis of the dead
statesman and his faithful yalet. The
members of the family who are out of
town were at once notified by telegraph
of the sad event and are expected here
to-night.
Paralysis and bodily infirmities inci- j
dent to old age had reduced Mr. Tilden
to a mere skeleton and his last days
were marked by extreme feebleness. |
The routine of daily life for a year past
at his beautiful lesklence on the Hud
son was about as follows : He usually
awoke in the morning about 4.30 o'-
clock; an electric bell at the head of his
bed summoned his valet, who gave him
his medicine which ho took as regular
ly as lie did his food. Afterwards he
would lie abed until 8 o'clock, seeming-
Ij dozing, though when his valet,think
ing him asleep, approached the bed, he
found his bright eyes open and watch
ing liim. If he felt well he was assist
ed down to a 9 o'clock breakfast which
usually consisted of milk and rich broth.
Owing to paralysis, Mr. Tilden was un
able to close his lips and his mouth was
constantly open. His right hand from
the same cause was entirely useless,
trembling all the time. Jle had not
even the power to raise it to his mouth.
His left hand was but slightly affected
by the stroke of paralysis and he had
the partial use of it. In eating he used
his left hand to hold up his lower jaw.
His faithful companion, Miss Anna
Gould, who is the sister of the wife of
Mr. Henry Tilden, placed to his mouth
every particle of food that he ate. 81ie
generally put it in his mouth with a
spoon and lie was enabled to swallow it
by raising bis lower jaw with his left
hand and putting his head back.
While at breakfast the morning pa
pers were read to him and notes made
by his secretaries at his direction of any

important point or move in the political
world. Afsor breakfast lie usually
went into his olliee, on the right side of
the hall,where he saw the different em
ployes of the place and heard their re
spective reports.
His walk was slow and feeble, his
paralyzed right leg moving with stiff,
uncertain movement, lie could not
speak above a whisper and his thin and
furrowed face and labored movements
evoked sympathetic comments from the
villagers who saw him leaning on the
arm ot his valet or his companion. Miss
Gould, as he stepped to or fiom til 1
carriage that took him on line days for
a ride about the country, liis mental
faculties, however, were bright and un
impaired up to the last. He sulteied
much from indigestion, and twice a
week was visited by bis physician, who
often has spoken lately of Mr. Tild n's
st ill robust intellect.
Dr. Simonds and Dr. S imuel J. Swift
wero with him when he died. His
memory was usually retentive and to
the last he preserved the most exact
method in doafing with the concerns of
his house and farm. Each day he talk
ed with his business manager ar.d con-
fidential secretary, Mr. George W
Smith, and showed complete acquaint
ance with tlie smal'est details of his
business. 11 is medicine was adminis
tered with almost mathematical exact
ness and it rarely happened that his
night doses were missed at the regular
time. And it was the same with his
food. Every ounce he ate was calculat
ed and weighed before it was prepared
and set before him. Rich soups in
quite small quantities weresupplement
ed with small draughts of cieauiy milk,
the latter the yield of his famous Alder
neys and Guernseys, together with the
tenderest part of a chicken, or a mere
morsel of meat,minced so as to be read
ily masticated, made up bis diet. These
viands temptingly cooked and carried
to his lips by his attendant frequently
failed to rouse his appetite, and were
returned almost untasted. It was a
matter of comment among his intimates
that he should have been able, on so
little nourishment, to sustain life at all.
Sketch of His Life.
Samuel J. Tilden was born at New
Lebanon, in the county of Columbia
and State of New York, February 9,
ISl4—the year which ruined the for
tunes of the great Napoleon. One ol
his ancestors, Nathaniel Tilden, was
Mayor of the city of Tenterden, Kent,
England, in 1623.
The Governor's father, a farmer and
merchant of New Lebanon, was a man
of notable judgement and practical
sense and the accepted oracle of the
county upon all matters of public con
cern, while his opinion was also eager
ly sought and justly valued by all his
neighbors, but by none more than by
the late President Van Buren, who till
his death, was one of his most'eherish
ed, intimate and personal friends.
From his father Governor Tilden in
herited a taste for political inquiries,
and in his companionship enjoyed pe
culiar opportunities for acquiring an
early familiarity with the bearings of
the various questions which agitated
our country in bis youth.
Young Tilden entered college in his
18th year.
Mr. Tilden had not been long at Yale
College before his health gave way and
obliged him to leave. After sonic rest
he was enabled to resume bis studies,
and in 1834 entered the University of
New York, where lie completed his a
cademic education. He then entered
the law olliee of the late John W. Ed
munds, in the city of New York, where
he enjoyed peculiar faculties for the
prosecution of his favorite studies of
law and politics.
Upon his admission to the bar Mr.
Tilden opened an office in Pine street,
in the city of New York.
In 1544, in anticipation and prepara
tion for the election which resulted in
making James K. Polk President and
Silas Wright Goytrnor of the .State of
New York, Mr. Tilden, in connection
with John L. O'Sullivan, founded the
newspaper called the Daily Neics.
In the fall of 1815 ho was sent to the
assembly from the city of New York
and while a member of that body was
elected to the convention for the re
modeling of the constitution of the
State, which was to commence its ses
sions a few weeks" after the legislature
adjourned. In both ot these bodies Mr.
Tilden was a conspicuous authority,
and left, a permanent impression upon
the legislation of the year, and especial
ly upon all the new constitutional pro
visions affecting the finances of the
State and the management of its sys
tem of canals.
Till the war came Governor Tilden
made every effort to avert the rebellion.
When bis efforts, combined with those
of other prominent patriots,had proved
abortive, his convictions of duty were
perfectly decided and clear. They were
to maintain the integrity of our territo
ry and the supremacy of the constitu
tional authorities, lie had been edu
cated in the school of Jackson, and had
been a diligent student of the lessons
taught by the nulitication controversy
of 1833. lie had studied carefully and
profoundly the relation of the federal
and state governments. He hail thus
A I'ARICK FOR THE HOME CIRCLE
early formed perfectly clear and settled
opinions, about which his mind never
vacillated. They were the opinions of
Jaekson, of N an Btiren,of Wright,and
of Marey, with whom, during most of
their public lives, he had been on terms
of personal intimacy.
When the war did come, Mr. Tilden
associated himself with and was the
private adviser of Mr. Dean Richmond
then at the head of the Democratic par
ty of New York, and who was accus
tomed on all important questions to
visit Mr. Tilden in his retirement and
seek his counsel.
When tlu peace camo wo fnul Mr.
Tilden figuring as the friend and com
panion of William M. Tweed in run
ning tho Democratic party in New
Yoik State, he being elected Chairman
of the Democratic State Committee on
the death of Dean Richmond. Mr. Til
den acted in close union with Tweed
until the war on the ring was started.
On the eye of his downfall, Tweed be
gan to fear that tho alliance could not
b > maintained much longer, and in 1869
ho made an t ffort to supersede .Mr. Til
den as the head of the Sta eCominittee.
Mr. Tilden promptly accep'ed the con
test,and was sustained by nearly seven
eights of Hie convention.
By his lio'd acts against the Tweed
Ring Mr. Tilden made himself promi
nent in the work of reform, and in IH7-I
was strongly urged to accept the Dem
ocratic nomination lor Governor. Feel
ing that whatever might be the result
of his administration, the moral effect
of his election would bo advantageous
to the State and country, ho consented
to become a candidate, ile was elect
eb over Governor John A. Dix (Rep.)
and Morgan 11. (Mark (Temp.) by a
majority of 38,519, out of a total vote
of 71)4,233. His first message distinctly
foreshadowed the controlling features
of his administration—adminslrative
reform,and the restoration of the finan
cial principles which triumphed in the
election of Jackson and Van Buren.
It became evident to the least observ
ing very early in Governor Tilden's ex
ecutive career that he designed to ap
pear in the national campaign of 1876.
There was no reason why he should not
do so.
The campaign was one of the most
notable in the history of the country.
It was under Governor Tilden's direc
tion, and up to the close of the polls
was without a mistake. Its events are
sufficiently familiar not to need recount
ing here, and the questions involved by
the final settlement are too complicated
to be stated in detail in the time and
space at our command. All honest
and fair-minded men in the country
believed and maintained that Mr. Til
den was fairly elected to the Presiden
cy of the United .States, and that he
was cheated out of it.
Since tho close of the famous Presi
dential imbroglio, Mr. Tilden lias lived
in retirement and almost in 'seclusion,
his failing health preventing him from
taking an active part in public affairs
during a greater part of the past eight
or ten years.
Seven years ago J/r. Tilden determin
ed to enjoy that repose which years of
arduous labor in public and private af
fairs entitled him to have and which an
ample fortune enabled him to find. Ilis
physical strength was impaired and his
health, never robust, was,with increas
ing age, becoming precarious. Ilis
vital organs were, however, sound. lie
needed and longed for uninterrupted
quiet. lie had always a fondness for
thecouutiy. Horses, sheep, domestic
fowls, and even dogs were to him some
thing more than useful and ornamental
appendages of a country establishment.
They were objects of study and sources
of intellectual recreation and enjoy
ment.
In 1ST!) lie bought Greystone, one of
the stateliest country places on the
Hudson. Tne house stands on a nat
ural knoll, the summit being 450 feet a
bove the level of the river at high wa
ter.
Ripening Early Foars.
If there is any pear that is not batter
for being gathered while still hard, and
allowed to ripen or mellow in a room
where the temperature is even, we do
not know it. Pears should be mature,
but not ripe. After the fruit has made
its full growth, and has received from
the tree all the nourishment that this
has to give, it prepares to leave the
tree. Between the end of the stem of
the pear and the point on the branch
to which it is attached, there appears a
joint, or a line, at which tho stem paits
very easily. If the pear be lifted, the
stem will readily leave the tree at this
point, leaving a clean scar, without
breaking the stem. Whenever the
stem readily parts in this manner, the
fruit should be gathered. Early pears
ripen rapidly and decay quickly. They
are usually packed in half barrels or
boxes, and if packed as soon as gather*
ed, reach the consumer in good order,
and in condition for eating. For homo
use, an excellent method is to spread
the pears upon a blanket in a spare
room, and cover them with another. —
American Agriculturist for August.
The Widow Stewart.
A New York letter to the San Fran
cisco Arpanet at, savs : "Some days
ago, walking past that marble palace
on Thirty-fourth street and Filth ave
nue, 1 had a glimpse of Mrs. A. T.
Stewart, the first for years. Poor old
lady ! One look at her is as good as
a sermon on the follies of this life.
Her coupe, gorgeous in gilded trap
pings and satin cushions, was stand
ing at the curb and, just as I passed,
the great white hall doors were thrown
open with a flourish,and out she came.
Against a long vista of marble col
umns and shining floors, she began to
creep slowly down the stairs, leaning
heavily on tho arm of her major domo.
That major domo, by the way, is a
wonderful old creature. He looks like
a creation of Trollope's, and always
dresses in decent black, with a black
velvet skull cap on his long, silvery
hair, and liis gold tipped wand of of
fice in his band. Ho led Mrs. Stew
art with fatherly care down the long
flight of steps, then at the bottom de
livered her into tho hands of two gi
gailtie footmen,who supported her to
the carriage, while a maid followed,
her blooming face peeping out from
under a mass of shawls and air-cush
ions. That the widow of the merch
ant millionaire is as fond as ever of
the pomps and vanities is shown in
her blushing cheeks, i:i the maze of
wild black curls, bobbing into her
eves and pouring in a jetty cascade
down her back ; in her gown of black
silk, stiff as pasteboard, and covered
with laces and jet and red satin bows,
dragging its heavy lengtli out behind
her. It looks, however, as if she
could not have much mere time left
wherein to enjoy them. She was so
feeble the other day that her footmen
had almost to lift her into her car
riage; then the maid came tripping to
the door and began putting her into
shape—punched up her cushions and
arranged her s hawls,pulled the gloves
up over her tiny, trembling hands,
twitched her bonnet into place, pulled
down her veil, patted the bow under
her chin and settled her into the car
riage as one might settle an extra ex
pensive doll.
Ho Had no Uso for Kids.
'I hate kids,' lie said.
'Why V
'I think they ought to bo locked up
in asylums till they're old enough to
take care of themselves. If it hadn't
been for a kid—well—it might liaye

'What ?'
'I loved this kid's mother. She was
a rich and beautiful widow, and I was
madly in love with her. I was actual
ly contemplating—in fact I had just
got to the point of putting the delicate
question. We were in the drawing
room. The kid was playing in the cor
ner. Forgetting all about that, I put
my arms fervently around the widow's
waist and implanted a passionate kiss
upon her lips, when the kid started up
and rushed at me. 'Don't you kill my
mamma,'and ran screaming into the
kitchen, calling for the servants.'
'That needn't have-—'
'What ? Marry a widow with a
child like that t But the worst came a
few nights after. I called at the house.
There were seveial ladic3 there, and
the kid was being petted all round.
Of course the widow was all right, but
that confounded child delibeiately
turned her back. I didn't mind that,
but the mother, to be nice, said :
' 'You darling child, don't you know
Mr. ?'
' 'Oh, yes,' said the imp, very pret
tily ; 'oh, yes, I knew you ; you are
tho man that bited my mamma,' I
need not—l could not describe the ef
fect,'
THE BASE BALL FEVER. —Tne U
nited States is base hall mad this sum
mer. Never before has it been so ex
cited on the subject, seldom as enthus
iastic on any other. To a large pro
portion of the population the result of
a base ball match to-day is as import
ant news as the result of a general
election, and far ahead in importance
to the proceedings in Congress. The
American public has become enthused
over base ball as ith as never before,and
as no other public has been on sporting
matters. Cricket in England cannot
compare with it, and Continental Eu
rope, wo know, Ins never apjreciated
"sport" to any extent. The Putney
race, or the meeting at Epsom, may, it
is true, create more excitement, but
these are mere spurts,whereas the base
ball fever lasts in this country all the
summer and fall through, and even in
the winter the players are popular he
roes, storing up strength for the com
ing seasons. —Ex.

'lie is a young Scotchman,' Lela
said, 'and papa being one,too, they have
a certain sympathy in common. We
know nothing of this Mr. Donald
Machine, but we admire him extrava
gantly, and— well, ho is to be at my
ball, so you will see him, Mollie ; so
will you J met," turning suddenly to
the fitrangei ; then, a new thought
seeming to strike her. 'You are Scotch
yourself ; Douglass is purely a Scotch
name,'
Miss Douglass shrank a moment, but
a faint color stole over her white, pir
f.ct face as she turned her blue eyes on
and smiled a little.
Half an hour later I was able to ask
1/ la who she was, without being over
head by the others, and Lela toid me
she had been one of the underteacheis
in the seminary from which she (Lela)
had graduated.
'I fell in loye with her and coaxed
her io come hero for vacation,' Lela
s iid, showing how the world wronged
her when it called her a heartless flirt,
'and as she was quite ill when the sem
inary opened in September we would
not let let think of going hack to her
teaching. My papa lias influence,Mol
-1;e, and he lias used it to keep her posi
tion open for her until she is ready to
go back to it,which she tells me she in
tends doing in a fortnight.'
'She is lovely,' I said impulsively ;
'she must be about 23, Lola." Has she
a lover ?'
'I have a fancy that there is a 'braw
lover' of hers in the Scottish highlands
some place,' Lela answered. 'I had a
plan, Mollfe, dear. I wanted this Don
ald Maclane to fall in love with J3net,
bnt 1 could never induce her to meet
him ; he is here often and she always
avoids him. 1 have thought it might
be because she didu't want to be re
minded of hei Scotch home.'
That night at the ball I met Mr.
Maclane. I noticed that Miss Douglas
avoided him. While the ball was at
its height I found her looking very
beautiful and very pale, dressed simply
in dark gray, and for the moment quite
alone.
The rooms are so warm and my head
is aching,' I said to her. 'Would you
mind going out with me a few mo
ments ? Or are you engaged for the
next Wdltz ?'
'I do not waltz, she answered, quiet
ly. 'I will be glad of a moment iu the
outer air ;' and arm in arm, we went
along the wide hall, pausing briefly on
the veranda. Below I saw a gleam of
fire, and knew Donald Maclane was
walking there—alone.'
"Some gallant pays us a poor compli
ment,' I laughed. 'I perceive the odor
of a cigar,' very innocently, indeed.
'lf it should b? she began, and
then the burning point was coming di
rectly towards us, and I would not let
her turn away. A tal' figure became
plainly visible and the fleck of light
took a flight, swifter than that of a
firefly—Mr. Machine had seen us and
flung his cigar away.
•Come back ; come in ; let me go,'
Mis? Douglass said.pantingly,as he left
the shadows and she saw who it was,
but I was determined and held her
hand firmly.
'lt is only Mr. Machine,' I said, and
then I addressed him. 'You don't
seem very fond of balls Mr, Maclane,'
I said, pleasantly. 'You came out for
a smoke. Miss Douglas and I came
out for a breath of air.'
'Miss Douglas !' he repeated, start
ing plainly in the moonlight ; and
then, gravely and clearly, with a touch
of scorn in the sweet voice and a Lew
dignity in the slim figure which had
suddenly drawn to its full height, the
girl spoke :
'I haye not been presented to tbis
gentleman,' she said, coldly. 'I am
quite a stranger to him.'
'Janet, my loye, have I found you ?'
he questioned. And then she turned
to me.
4 Will we not go in V she asked.
4 This gentleman has made a strange
mistake.'
•'Do not make one yourself, Miss
Douglas,' 1 said quietly, liking the man
before for the moved pallor of his fine
face and pitying him for the pain upon
it. I turned away and left them to
gether.
Later Janet came to me with tender,
love lit eyes, and kissed me as though I
had been her sister.
'I am so happy !' she said, softly ;

an orphan, and Mrs. Maclane took me
to her lovely home in the highlands ;

sent from home on a tour, and then
site—l cannot tell you how—made me
believe that he had ceased to love me,
that he wrote her of his love for a fair
English girl whom he had met abroad
and I got no letters. 1 grew wild with
pain, and the Getce rebellion against
my independence seemed to madden
me. I gaye her his ring and every lit*
tie love-gift, to be given him when he
returned, and, eight years ago, with a
few letters of introduction only and
scarcely a farthing in my purse,l found
myself on board a vessel bound for A
merica.'
Her voice faltered and Iter white
hands clasped each other closely ; but
in a moment she smiled.
'lt is past now,' she said softly ; 'all
lias gone by now, and the future has
nothing but love for me—for him.

Kindness to a Stranger.
The other morning a man arrived
in Detroit for some point in Kentucky
having among his luggage three fish
ing rods, two dogs, two guns, a tent
and two pairs of rubber boots. He
had heard that Michigan was chuck
full of boss localities for a man on his
vacation, and he asked Officer Button
at the depot which way he'd better
head from here.
'Want to camp out V
'Well, I've got a tent, but I guefs
it will be safer to sleep in a hotel.'
'Want to fish ?'
'No, I dont care about it. I've
brought my outfit along, but what's
the use of catching fish ?'
'Those your hunting dogs ?'
'Yes, but they ain't worth their
salt. It kind o' looks the thing to
bring 'em along, and they are sort o'
company like.'
'You have guns there !'
'Well, yes, but I never fired a gun
in my life. It looks more business
like to bring 'em, you know ?'
'Do you want to go in the woods V
asked the officer.'
'No not particualarly. The woods
are pretty damp and full of mosqui
toes, and I can't see any fun in that.'
'Might go up to St Clair flats.'
'Yes, I might, but what's the use ?
All I could do would be to stop at the
hotel and catch a few fish and row a
boat and shoot at a few birds.'
'How's Macdinac V
'lt's only an island. What's the
use of sqatting down for a month on
an island when we've got so much
land in this county ?'
'Petoskey is a favorite resort,' said
the officer.
'That's on the shore of the lake,
and, I don't care for the water '
'Why don't you go out to some
farm house ?'
'Too lonesome.'
'Well, stay right here then.'
'Too lively.'
'See here, said Button as he turned
around on him, 'what sort of a place
are you looking for, anyhow
'Hanged if I know.'
'What made you come V
'Well, I have a four week's vaca
tion, you know, and it seemed the
tLing to go off somewhere.'
'Well if I were you I'd take the
next train for home, and put in my
vacation lying in my own dooryard.'
'I guess I will, yes that seems the
best plan. Please keep an eye on my
traps until I can buy a ticket, and I
cau assure you I'm a thousand times
obliged to you for your kindness to a
stranger.
Faithful to the Last*.
The Indianapolis Sentinel says :
Judge Durham, First Comptroller of
the Treasury,was married theother day.
He was, says the Boston Traveller , at
his desk at work when ou eof his clerks
entered.
'Why, Judge,' she exclaimed, 'here
you are at work on your wedding day.
1 hear you are to be married at half
past 3 o'clock, and here it is half past
2 '
The Comptroller looked up and said:
'Yes, lamto be married in an hour.
I can finish this work in thirty min
utes, and that will leave me just thirty
minutes to dress and get to the house.
You can rest assured that I will be
there. The ceremony cannot go on
without me.'
THE HEAL CAPITALIST.— The Phila
delphia Record says a capitalist is a
man who having paid for his breakfast
has enough enchangeable property re
maining in his possession to pay for his
dinuer. Yet there are theorists wh
insist that there will be no happines*
until all mankind are dead-broke after
breakfast, and no one has anything and
everybody has everything.
