"BUTLERIZxNG..

EDITOR CHRONICLE I see in your
last issue, in the proceedings of the
Police Court, that certain molasses-
colored carpet-bagger was up for But
lerizing q lot Of provisions from the
Female Academy. Now / beg leave
to differ with your reporter in that
case, as I was present during the ex-
animation and saw the articles ex-
hibited. / saw bread, ham, beef, po-
tatoes, etc., but nary spoon, and as l
have understood that the Beast had
no penchant for such trifies as these,
but only dealt in, or appropriated,
spoons, plate, coin and such like, i
opine the term Butlerized was q mis-
nomer. So ! conclude somebody has
been slandered-certainly not Butler,
for think that impossible. But as /
dislike to see injustice done to any
one, i seek to make this explanation:
not wishing that thief on q small
scale should be placed In the same
category with one whose very name
isasynonym for spoon disappearance,
/ do this much in Justice to one whose
highest ambition has, perhaps, never
reached higher than robbing hen.

THE following is list of the con-
tents of a crocodile's stomach, cap
tured near Agra, India, the skeleton
of which was in course of prepara-
ton for the museum at that place -
About dozen large punches, pellets
of hair probably human), eight
rounded peddles, averaging In size
from nearly three inches to one inch
In diameter; one large ankle bangle
ring of mixed metal; twenty-four
fragments, of various sizes, of vitre-
Gus armlet rings; five bronze finger
rings, one small silver neck-chain, a
small defaced silver coin, with met
al loop for suspension attached to 1t;
one gold bead about one-third Of an
inch square, one largish bead of black
stone veined with white, and thirty
small red necklace beads. These
things, it is taken for granted, must
have been the ornaments of some
woman (if not more than one) who
had been devoured by this monster.

GRAND ENTERPRISE.-The Talla-
dega Reporter, of late date, says :
The old idea of connecting the waters
of the Tennessee and Alabama rivers
by canal has been revived. Maury,
I'm a recent scientific report upon the
topography of the country, renews
the suggestions as to the practicable
ity of this grand enterprise. The
Montgomery Mail, and other Ala
bama papers, have taken up the sub
ject and commented upon it, and sug-
gest that survey might be made un-
der the recent appropriation to COM
plete the survey of the Coosa, so as to
test in a satisfactory manner this in
teresting question. tits, perhaps, not
generally known that Wills creek,
one of the tributaries of the Coosa
river, has its source within q mile OF
the Tennessee river, and that the in
tervening space Is comparatively
level. Old settlere have all insisted
that the waters of the Tennessee
might be brought through to the
Coosa by the way of Wills creek at
comparatively small cost. What a
grand idea there is in that suggestion.
Think of boats loading away up In
East Tennessee, on the borders OF
Virginia or Western Carolina, and
coming down the Coosa thence to the
Alabama and on to Mobile. What a
line of trade. How much undevel-
oped wealth would be brought to
light. How many towns would be
built up, and what teeming hives OF
industry would spring into life.

A WAsHINGToN dispatch states
that Mr.. Buck, editor of the Clarks-

Arnell, of School Fund notoriety, for
Congress, In this State, has filed with
the Committee on Elections n notice
of contest against the aforesaid ma

slippery leather contractor, no doubt,
will find Republican BuclIskin little
