Az UNGALLASr BROKER. Two young
ladies, members Of the Gate Troupe, while
promenading st. Charles street last evening,
were pursued and grossly insulted by man
named Shouldice, who seemed to have a
pretty fair load Of benzine in his head aud
heels. They cndeavored to avoid him, and
whom they arrived near the first precinct
stationhouse, stepped in and asked for pro-
lection. Police Commissioner Robinson
happened to be the first gentleman they
met, and, of course, beauty or innocence
never appealed to him in vain. On the sim
pie complaint this official collared the Of
fender and rushed him into cell, the fair
ones making charge. Such instances OF
insolence to the weaker sex are uncommon
in this city, and in former times were in
stantly punished by close applications OF
sole leather.

Mr. Hiram Mitchell.

This old and highly respected
citizen of our village died very
suddenly on Saturday last. His
health had not been good for sew
eral months, but, we believe he
was at no time unable to attend to

and feeling unwell went home,
where, in a few moments after tax.

Rars Bon Butler.

The Essex statesman achieved
the greatest victory Of his career
in the House yesterday. Nothing
that he has ever done before,
whether in the military, the foren-
sic, or the administrative line, has
equalled it. He whipped ont two
enemies, and although be did not
secure the results Of his victory no
withdrew from, the field with all
his colors flying, bis drums beat
ing and the banners of his enemies
trailing in the duet. First, rare
Ben attacked his old enemy Dawes
on economy, and this time with
eminent strategy he chose the eco
nomical side himself. = He propos-
ed that the appropriation Of half a
million dollars usually devoted to
paying the mileage Of members be
virtually stricken out. This terrific
blow for economy demoralized near
ly all the members present, even
including Dawes. Rare Ben fol-
lowed it up with O speech, and
drove it home with some astonish-
ing statements, and most of the
members were kept silent by their
inward reflections, the nature of
! which is obvious. One or two f.
nally ventured to reply in opposi-
ton, and then the reaction set in,
and nearly every one gave Butler
a scathing, among then, unfortu-
nately, Cox, OF Now York. Cox is
a very small man in stature. But
Ter is nearly as big as the Cardiff
giant. When the outcry against
him was over Butler rose and
made a good defence against all
bis enemies until he came to Cox,
who bad been 80 good naturedly
satirical that it required genius of
an extra ordinary nature to make
the fitting answer. Ben had the
genius and made the answer. He
waved his hand at Mr.. Cox and
said, "Shoo, fly; don't bodder
me-" The effect was electrical.
The House broke into a roar of
laughter, but Cox, flushed with an
ger, ventured reply, which ex-
ceeded parliamentary decorum.
In the confusion that ensued the
mileage motion was lost, but rare
Ben walked about the hero of the
field.-Neao York Herald.
