1t is understood that the difficulty
between General Butler and General Giant
has been at last amicaby arranged.
Friends Of. both parties have been engaged
for some time past in sort of diplomatic
correspondence, with a view of bringing
them together. The chief actor in this
business has teen George Wilkes, who
has been here for; some weeks, ostensibly
as a spectator of the. impeachment trial,
but really as a negotiator between Grant
and Butler, The latter's resentment
against Grant has been very bitter. He
could not well forget his pungent criticism
on his mill airy services when he alluded
to him in his report as being "corked up"
at Bermuda Hundreds After this had
been satisfactorily explained away by
di Plomatic Wilkes. Butler said Cant had
insulted him by sending him an invitation
to his reception, after having stated to the
country in his report, that he was "corked
up" This also was fully explained,
and Butler has at last consente! to smoke

he had given it vent; and as part of the amende

CKSTEHARIAN-There resides just short dis
tsnce west of this city, in Dinwiddie county, an
old lady named Mary Miehaels. who has attained
10 the extreme age Of one hu0dred and five years.
She retains in a wonderful degree, the vigor and
elasticity Of earlier years. her mental faculties
are vivid and unimpaired, and her memory Of
events which, three generations ago we're the
common topics of the day, is perfectly fresh. or
all the busy crowd which throngs around her IN
the TO and fro Of life, there are none who shared

the sole representative Of generation that now
sleeps with their forefathers.
