ButIer BottIIng up Fowler.

The recent letter of Senator Fowler
in which he says the whole House is
under the lead of those good old Demo-
Gratis, B. F. Butler and John A. Logan,
and he cannot have any interest in the
scheme to usurp the government by
such bold, bad conspirators, has called
out a brief reply from Gen. Butler, of
which the following material position
occurred in the year 1866:
"After 1 had made some speeches in
the West in favor of the impeachment
of Andrew johnson, Senator Fowler
came five hundred miles to my house
in Lowell to visit me, it being the first
time had seen him, and the only err
rand he made was to urge me vehem.
emily not to cease my efforts until
Andrew johnson was impeached, Civ
ing as a reason, among others, that as
had never lived in Tennessee, / could
form no conception of what a bad man
Andrew johnson was, and in fact the
vivid description of his habits and con-
duct while Governor of Tennessee,
given me by young Tennesseean who
was present, failed TO convey any ade-
quate idea. Times change, and some
of us change with Them"

Mark Twain ON Female Suffrage.

"Mark Twain" writes to his "Cousin
Jennie" on the subject OF Female suf-
frage," as follows:
There is one insuperable obstacle in
the way of female suffrage. Jennie;
approach the subject with fear and
trem bling, but 1t must out. A woman
would never vote because she would
have to tell her age at the polls. And
even If she did dare to vote once or
twice when she was just of age, you
know what dire results would flow
from quitting this and that together
in after times. For instance, in an I'M
guarded moment, Miss A. says she
voted for Mr.. Smith. Her auditor, who
knows that ii is seven years since Smith
ran for anything, easily cyphers out
thnt she is at least seven years over
age, instead of the young pullet she
has been making herself out to be. No,
Jennie, this new fashion of registering
the name, age, residence, and occupa-
ton of every voter is fatal bar to fe-
male suffrage.
Women will never be permitted TO
vote or hold Office, Jennie, and it is a
lucky thing for me and for many 9TH
er men, that such is the decree of fate.
Because, you see, there are some few
measures they would all unite on
there arc one or two measures that
WOulu pEIuB OuL tueiE eutlIe NOtIuB
strength, in spite of their antipathy to
making themselves conspicuous, and
there being vastly more women than
men in this State they would trot these
measures through the Legislature
with velocity that would be Rppall-
ing. For instance. they would enact :
l. That all men should be at home by
ten p. NJ, without fail.
2. That married men should bestOw
considerable attention ON their wives.
8. That II should be a hanging of
that fine and Acknowledgement should
follow drinkingin such places.
4. That the smoking of cigars to ex-
cess should be forbidden, and the smok-
ing of pipes utterly abolished.
S. That the wife should have a little
property of her own, when she married
man who hadn' any.
Jennie, such tyranny as this we could
never stand, our free souls could never
endure such degrading thraldom. Wo.
men, go your way! Seek not to be-
guile us of our imperial privileges.
Content yourselves with your little
feminine trihes-you babies, your be-
nevolent societies, and your knitting
and let your natural bosses do the vo-
ting. Stand back, you will be wanting
to go TO war next. We. will let you
teach school as much as you want to,
and we Will pay you half wages tor it,
too, but bewarei we don't want you To
crowd us too much.
If get time Cousin Jennie, 1 will
furnish you a picture of female
Legislator that will distress you'll
know 1t will, because you cannot dis
guise from me the fact that you are no
more In favor of female suffrage really,
than / am. MARK TWAIN.

PRIMROsE-DAYs.


rTIs nlauy year Eince last we met
twenty years OF changing WeatheF
And yet never shall forget
The happy days we passed toSether.
And you were young, and more than fair,
And 1 waE-Well I'm greatly alte' cd;
They're streaks of gray amid my hair,
But still my love has never ALTERED
1t was my first loYe-tn its way
Something Platonic in Affection
Which might have seen our weddtng-uay
If guided in the right direction.
Butyou were young, and was young:
our parents said that we were needless
About the course otloYe-'tWAs needless
Butstiu, this feeling which knew
When life was in Its primrose season
And IL was May the whole year through,
Despite of almanncs and reason
Hasnever changed, but still remains
The very same, perhaps tits stronger:
For love, tits said, like lemon stains,
Gets brighter as II lasts the longer.
I know tits folly to recall
The hours we passed with one another,
Ere was married to Miss Hall,
Or you'd become an anxious mother.
But why-this puzzles mo lat night
should. in my dreams, you come TO bless
me,
When ali day long, as is bat right,
1t is my wife who doth caress me:
Am 1 to live those days again,
In, SO to speak, a second childhood,
When, free from lies dun care and PAIN
l rambIed with You through the Wild
WoodS
No! precious golden days of youth.
You never can return to cheer me!
And-well, forgive the sober truth
The days are best that now are near me.

Mr. Chnse,s nemoerncx.

1t is claimed, and to some extent be-
lieved, that MIR. Chase was, at some pc
riod of his life, Democrat. The New
York Herald, of Friday last, editorial
~ and otherwise, makes great effort
to prove that Mr.. Chase was at heart, a
Democrat. The following record, how
ever, shows the stupidity of such pre-
In 1885. Mr.. Chase Jagged 2sl support

TO Van Buren,.
In 1910 he supported Harrison, in OPP
position to Van Buren,.
In 1874 he supported James g. Blrney,
in opposition to Polk and Clay.
In 1913 he supported Van Buren,, in
opposition to Cass and Taylor.
In 1852 he supported John P. Hale, in
opposition to Pierce and Scott.
In 1855 he was elected Governor of
Ohio by the Republicans.
In 1856 he supported Fremont, in OPP

In 1857 he was reelected Governor OF
Ohio by the Republicans.
In 1860 he supported Lincoln, in OPP

In 1864 he supported Lincoln, in OPP

The fact is, Mr.. Chase never was a

except in three notable instances. First,
when in 1919 he and his little handful
of free-soiIers traded with the Demo.

Second, in 1861, when he opposed coer-

IcEBERas.-The weather observers,
who have attributed the recent rainy
season to the presence of icebergs of
the coast, have had their theory con-
firmed by the report OF the master of
the ship Humboldt, mentioned in q
New York letter. The master of this
ship states that on June I'd, in latitude
46 degrees and longitude IS degrees
west Of Greenwich, he counted over one
hundred icebergs, and saw many ice
fields, one being moro than a mile
square. This region of the sea Is more
southerly than the most southern point
of Newfoundland, and lies about $50
miles to the east.
