Frogs...Rana Esculenta.

To former times the deectable gastronomic
taste which induced men to eat frogs aud consid.
er the same q rare delcacy, was entirely con-
fined to the French nation, and the bullheaded
Englishman felt convinced that the reason why
"Johnny Orapaud" spoke language uninteligi-
Bile to John Bull, was simply from living entire.
ly upon eroaking frogs. Even the sage Queen
Bess-England's Virgin Queen"-was so in
doctrinated into such q ridiculous theory of
French and frogs, that out of compliment to her
French suitor, the Duke d'Alencon, and to hint
to him gracefully and virtuousiy, what might be
his position in her queenly affections-her maid
en- Majesty, while the royal urtship was going
on, actually cherished the similitude of frog in
her bosom The frog brooch was most costly
and gemmed article, but somehow the gallant
Frenchman did not take the froggy hint, and
10 Elizabeth remained welded to her frog with
out the Duke!
Sincesthat period, the frog taste has spread
| itself through all nations with as much talk
thereon as upon "squatter sovereignty" And
at present the consumption of frogs s immense
80 much so that frog merchants aud frog raisers
are found with their "froggeries" not Only in
Paris, but in Vienna, London. and New York,
where the interesting creatures are preserved a.
live and fattened for the markets. Even not
long ago, we read an elaborate article, in the
sLondon Atheneum," in favor of frogs, in which
it stated sspiently, that "there is no reason why
we should eschew frogs ind relish turtle" 10
Europe they prefer the green edible frog from
its rich taste and very delicate flavor. In A
merica, says q cotemporary, the flesh OF The huge
bull frog is teuder, white, and affords excellent
eating. Some bull frogs weigh as much as halt
pound, but the hind legs are the only parts US
cd as food.
An excellent cookery work, just published by
the AppletoDs, and entitled breakfast, Dinner,
and Tea" among three hundred other modern
receipts, gives and vouches for the gastronomic
delicacy Of the following mode of cooking frogs
"First catch your frog and take him up gent
" lift him with care see that he's fat, and OF
oil ones beware. Next cut OF the young fell
lows hind legs skin them and wash them; fry
them in butter and bread crumbs; or broil
them serve them up hot; and any gourmet
! will pronounce them to be as delicate as the
breast of tender chicken, or any other nice
thing you could think Of"
We understand that philosophical gastron
omist up town, in this city, has established "a
qrenouillle) froggery for his own table use.77
| He has promised us "blow out" of frogs some
day. after which we will croak forth how they
90 down the way OF all flesh, to the tune "a
frog be would awooing go ol"-Rich. Enquirer

Both the Slave Trade faction and the Blacl
Republicans play into each others hands, ane
both are working with all their might for one
object, viz: disund0n. N
1t is very strongly suspected that Black Re
publican leaders are secretly engaged IN nttlne
out the great number OF vessels now IN nortnerl
ports known to be destined to land Africans on
the Florida coast. 1t is not to be supposed tha
those who will be on the shore to await tile
landing of the human cargo will be ignorant a;
to who procured It,. - ;,
These "ventures in Ebony serve double
purpose they put money into the pockets OF the
Black Republicans, and at the same time they
serve to excite the northern sentiment yet more
violently against the south and her institutions
There will be elimination and re elimination
which the slave trade men hope will band to-
gether the whole South against the whole North
and bring about disunion. They then expect te
float into power upon fragment of the wreck
of our present happy country.
All sorts of arguments are urged to advance
this project for the destruction OF our Govern :
ment. The first and most efectual is that the
non-slave-hoders ought to have source whence
they may procure slave labor which they can-
not obtain at present prices. by this argument
thew hone to make disunionists of the non-slave
holders of the South, the small slave holders,
and those of the larger shareholders who 10
tbo;r oreed for wealth wish to own more slaves
than they now have. 60,
Tbey also assert that the political status Of
those now owning slaves will be more secure,
az thew declare that the non-slave.holders in
the mass cannot be true to our Institutions and
tLornforo that all ll-wbo are interested in the
preservation of slavery should support the views
of these new preachers ofpolitical economy.
They also attempt to influence the Union men
of the South by telling them that if cheap slaves
could be introduced, the unsettled Territories
can be secured to the South, and that thus by
the reopening Of the Trade the balance ofpower

consideration on Saturday wore
First That the Government was bound to
make out therscase.
Second That malice was not to Be presumed
but proved.
Third. How far adultery is to be considered
provocation.
Fourth. Why such crime under the old
common law was notmurder, but manslaughter
Fifth. Why the explanation of the "pricile-
giuna clerical" the slight burning in the hand,
which was the punishment in such cases. was tam
tamount to an acquittal.
Sixth Whether the frenzy natural to a
husband under circumstances of such charac-
ter does not operate as mental unsoundness.
These six points were considered on Saturday
but the seventh point, which counsel had not
discussed on Saturday, is to be discussed to-day.
Seventh. Whether, viewing the case as one
of ungovernable passion, and as one of resent
meut produced by passion, there was a sufficient
time for the defendants passion to cool, and
for reason to get the better of the transport
of passion and whether his subsequent acts
were deliberate, before the mortal wound were
given to the deceased
After the conclusion of Mr. Grahams speech,
the defense offered in testimony several letters
purporting to be from Key and to be used as evi-
dence in establishing the friendship of the two
parties. Several witnesses were examined who
testified to the good feeling which had existed
between Sickles and Key and also between Key
and Mrs. Sickles 1t is said to be the intention
of the defense not to drive into the particulars
except they are forced to, when they willexpose
things not dreamed of in Washington or else
where.

Thomas Butler,

Thomas Butler, a brave officer during the reYo.
lutionary war with Great Britain, was brother
of the last one, which was in the Press. Three
other brothers fought in the service of their
country. In the year 1776 he was student at
law with eminent Judge Wilson, of Philadelphia;
but early in that year he quilted his studies and
joined the army as a subaltern. He soon OBJ
tanned the command of company, in which
grade he continued till the close of the revolu-
tionary contest. He was in almost every action
that was fought in the Middle States during the
war. At the battle of Braudywine, Sept. IL,
1T77, he received the thanks of Gen. Washing
ton on the field of battle, through his aid-de-
camp, General Hamilton, for his intrepid con-
duet in rallYing detachment ofretreating troops,
and giving the enemy a severe fire.
At the battle of Monmouth, n j., June 90,
1778 he received the thanks of Gen. Wayne,
for defending defle in the face of heavy fire
from the enemy, while Col Richard Buffers re-
giment, made good their retreat.
At the close of the war he retired into private.
life as farmer and continued in the enjoyment
of rural and domestic happiness, till the year
1871, when he again took the field to meet
savage foe that menaced our Western frontier.
He commanded a battalion in the disastrous
battle of November A, in which his brother fell
Orders were given by Gen St. Clair to charge
with the bayonet, and Major Butler, though his
leg had been broken by ball, yet on horseback,
led his battalion to the charge. 1t was with
difficulty, that his surviving brother, Capt. Ed
ward Butler, removed him from the field.
In 1892, he was continued on the establish
ment as a major and in 1894 he was promoted
to the rank of Lieut. Col, commandant of the
fourth Sub-legion He commanded, in this year,
Fcrt Fayette, at Pittsburg, and paevented the
deluded insurgents from taking it, more by his
name than by his forces, for he had but lew
troops.
In 1871, he was named by President Washing
ton as the officer best calculated to command IN
the State of Tennessee when 1t was necessary
to disposses some citizens VINO had lmprudently
settled on the Indian lands. Accordingly in May
he marched with his regiment from the Miami on
the Ohio, and by that prudence and good sense
which marked his character through life, he, ina
short time removed all difficulties. While in
Tennessee, he made several treaties with the In
dians In 1902, at the reduction of the army,
he was continued as Colonel Of regiment on
the peace establishment
The close of his life was embittered by trouble
In 1903 he was arrested by the commanding
General at Fort Adams, on the Mississippi, and
sent to Maryland, where he was tried by court
martial and acquitted of all the charges, ercept
of aceGr5ng has hair
He was then ordered to New Orleans where
he arrived to take command of the troops Oct.
20. He was again arrested the next month"; but
the court did not meet till July Of next year,
and their decision is not known, so far as | can
find. Colonel Butler died Sept. I, 1905, aged
fifty lone years..
