The superiority of their models gives them a great

A "Eseast' in Now York.

Ben. Butler reached New York, from
Washington City, the other evening and
made application for accommodations at
one OF the cheap, downtown Broadway
hotels but the guests, as soon as they dis
covered who he was, made such n noise
ahout it that the landlord was obliged to
notify the "evil eye' that he would have
TO seek other quarters. Butler Indignantly
inquired the reason why. The landlord
said he had but one to give, and that was.
If he stayed under his roof another fifteen
minutes every boarder would quit. The
hero Of Fort Fisher had no alternative but
to comply, and so he left. The fact is, the

A BRAVE BoY.-Bravery and presence of
mind were never exhibited in a higher de-
gree by youth, than is related of little
fellow named CLELAND, only ten years of
age, in one of the townships in Richland
County, Ohio. During school intermission,
while the teacher and larger scholars were
absent visiting n gypsy camp. leaving only
the little ones in the house, the cloChes OF
the little fellows sister accidentally caught
fire, while he was skating on pond near
by. Hearing her screams, he ran to her aid,
and attempted to tear the burning clothes
from her person, but finding it too slow, he
caught her in his arms and ran for the
pond, where he broke hole through the
ice, immersed her in the water and ex-
tinguishcd the flames. A lady, living close
by, at this time arrived at the scene, and
wrapping up the child, who was horribly
burned, conveyed her to her home, where
abe died in few hours. The brave little
brother was considerably but not seriously
injured.
