discrimination, and no liLtle ingenuity.
The English woman is respectful aud proud,
the French woman is gay and agreeable; the
Italian is passionate; the American woman
is sincere and affectOnate. With an English
woman, love is a principle; with a French

it is sentiment. A man is married to an En-

cohabits with an Italian. and is welded TO an
American. An English woman is anxious 10

extract which We publisi n week or TWO since

Senator Butler precisely that wise and iron nervrd
man of the South,e who would be aeceptahe to ah

years, varied learning, stroig and vigorous intellect,
and large experience, and Il thrills US to the heart 10
hear him spoken coss,Sn with tue s.b.s psssde
gracefully; none could fill sihe White House more
coureously, and none dacharge Executive duties with

then sgnn he is immensely Popularin all sections Of
the Union-:his popuaryt6o has been won, not alone
by his powerful intellectual forts, but also by his
polished bearing and generous sociaA3ualllles.
We are proud of Butler, for there flows not to-day

the strung man of the South for The next Presidency,
