The Butlar Case.

BRIsroL, Aug. 3O.-Judge Trigg took
up the case of the United States against
Roderic Random Butler to-day, when Dis
trict Attorney Camp moved that the case
be transferred to Washington, and Butler
be required to give bail for his appear
ance before the Criminal Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, upon the ground that
the offense was committed in that city, and
that Judge Trigg had no jurisdiction over
the same. The Court over-ruled the mo-
tion upon the ground that Notwithstanding
the fact that the offense was committed
at Washington, the warrant upon which
the arrest was made was issued from this
Court, and it therefore had Jurisdiction Of
the case, and the accused was entitled to
a preliminary investigation here. The
District Attorney then announced that he
was not ready for the trial, on account of
the absence of witnesses. The Court held
that the Government had had ample time
to prepare for the investigation, and dis
missed the suit.

Profanity.

One of the most common, and yet most
disgusting vices of the day, is the use Of
profane language. The Good Book says:
"What comes out Of the mouth defleth
the man." Then some men are terribly
defled within. Some love to hear them
selves talk, and are yet so barren of ideas
that they try to render emphatic their
commonplace utterances by senseless oaths
in every sentence they utter. Few pro-
fame swearers have an idea of the terrible
nature of their sins, or of its effects upon
themselves. If the consequences of this
terrible vice only resulted in the intense
disgust of those who are unwillingly fore
ed to hear it, the sin would not be SO dan
gerous; but when the influence Of the
swearer's oaths is considered, in the effect
Of this heart-hardening sin of blasphemy
upon the swearer himself, the matter be-
comes of terrible Importance and deeply
alarming. In the assumption of the pow
er of God, in damning his own soul, the
swearer commits the sin of blasphemy, the
most blighting to the soul of any of the
sins prescribed in the word of God. From
moral and social point of view, it is q
low, vulgar and senseless habit, that no
one with a particle of respect for himself
or others should engage in.--Dr Wit.

A Grateful Man,

Those who have due sense of gratitude
always get along pleasantly in the world.
So at least thought James Dugan. A few
days since he was caught under suspicious
circumstances in the residence of citizen.
He begged earnestly to be released, and
was finally let go. Last night he made a
similar visit, and was again arrested.
"What are you doing here again :" in
qnired the gentleman whose premises were
invaded. 81 just called to see you, sir"
at is n late hour, my friend" "Yes,
but I'm grateful, because you were kind
to me once before" Sand you wished to
show your gratitude 2" eyes, SIR" There
was a momentary pause in the conversa-
tion, as the citizen reached over and drew
from the pocket of Mr.. Dugan several ar
ticles of jewelry and some silver plate be-
longing to the house. Sand you were
carrying these away just to remember me
by % "No, sir, they were laying around
loose, and | was afraid somebody might
steal them n'-N. O. Picayune.

A Remarkable Stnrv.

The following remarkable story is told
by the Wheeling wv. Va.) Intelligencer
"The story runs that tobacco grower had
q number of hands employed in erecting
a tobacco-house, and that on the ground
floor of the building he had slaughtered a
sheep, using an AK and block to behead
the animal. Two little boys, Sons of the
planter, came about the building, wher
the smaller one expressed desire to bc
instructed in the mode of killing tho sheep
The larger boy told him if he would place
his head on the block he would do so.
Boy No. complied with the condition
aud No. 2 fulfilled his promise by sever
ing No. rs head from his body. This so
Mortified portion of the workmen who
were putting large roof-timber in posi-.
tion that they let it fall. Unfortunately
it fell where another party of men were al
work, killing ten of thCm and wounding
four Others"

Too True for a Joke.

A lively correspondent of the Evening
Mail, seeing an interesting little girl riding
with her parents in the same railway car
with himself, burst into the following ir.
repressible soliloquy:
81 reflected. In a few years, thought
I, that infant will be an ornament to soci'
ETY.. But had she not better diel Very
soon they will tie some dead mans hair tC
the back of her head, fasten; her ribs with
a corset, and hang a bird-cage around her
lower limbs. Worse than that; when she
arrives at maturity, she will be compelled
to determine whether she is for protection
or free trade, to comprehend the mysteries
of the Coolie question, and to understand
the intricacies of pig-iron; and then to &C
to the polls and vote. Alas! in the CON-
ing age had we not better be without wO'
men Z"

RAINY SUNDAYS,

When God wishes to bless especially
the inner ring of the Christian circle
the Peter, James and John fraternity
then it is that He permits rainy Sunday
to intervene. What pastor has not felt a
peculiar atmosphere to pervade the house
of God on such days, when the "two or
three" are assembled in the name Of
Christi They are such confidential days!
those rainy Sundays. Pastor and peo.
pie come SO near together; the services
are participated in by all the homily be-
comes so pointed and direct; every exer.
else has so much of the ':thou art the
man" about it, that no one has any margin
left for his neighbor. If yours is church
soul, you must have felt your religious
life to have risen to such comfortable
heat in Gods house on rainy Sunday, as
to enjoy such days rather than abominate
them. BE sure that it is wholly impossi-
BILE for you to be there, ere you absent
yourself, for the Lord has something tc
say TO you.

Carpenter's Best,

The following capital hit was made by
Judge Carpenter, while speaking in front
of the Columbia Hotel, at an impromptu
meeting on Tuesday night last. It has
been the custom of many of the Radicals
to interrupt the Judge by asking imper-
tinent, and often insulting questions, but
the Judge is never at a loss for a quick
and cutting reply, and seldom fails to
cause the intruder to hide his diminished
head under shout of derisive laughter
from the audience. On the night alluded
to, a wisen-faced, tiff-collared, official
looking fellow interrupted the Judge, by
asking him elf he (the judge did not
expect to secure large practice in his
profession, from this campaign, after he
was defeated for GovernorF
To which the Judge replied: "Well, I
don't expect to be defeated, but if am,
l shall go to practicing law again; and I
expect the first case shall have will be
to defend you or some other of the present
officials of the State in case for steal
ing"
The fellow wilted, and the crowd, white
and coiored, roared.-Union s. c., Times.

Paris VS.. Richmond,

The loss of the battle in which but a
wing of an immense army was engaged,
say 10000 out of 25O,OO0 men, two hun
dred miles off, has thrown Paris, city of
two millions of souls, into apparent con-
sternation. An easy promenade there by
the Prussians, in the course of few weeks,
is anticipated by many journals in this
country and in Great Britain. If such an
event is realized, it will strongly contrast
the American with the French style Of
fighting.
In 1861 the United States called out as
large an army to conquer the South, which
did not exceed six millions of white peo-
pie, as the Prussians have to overthrow
the empire of France, with its forty mill
ions of people. The objective point was
Richmond, the Southern capital. 1t was
but one hundred and twenty miles from
Washington.
With over one million men in arms, we
failed to capture Richmond for four years.
If Paris falls in short time it will be
because the French nation is not united,
and will not rally for their government.

Determined to Die.

The Paris Moniteur gives the following
account of the death of General Douay at
the battle of Wesscnburg:
The General was from the beginning in
the thickest of the fight. When he saw
that the day was lost, after he had done
all he could to retrieve it, when even not
battalion was left him, he called his aids
one by one, gave them orders and sent
them away. As soon as the last one was
gone, the General, squirting his horse, rode
some distance to the front, dismounted,
and taking pistol from the holster, shot
the animal, and then turning around slow
ly he walked towards the enemy. HIS
soldiers vainly tried to stop him. Amid
the terrible firing he deliberately walked
on. The retreating soldiers, aroused by the
spectacle, turned again upon the enemy,
but fell in heaps around the General, who
still pressed forward. Another tromend-
GUS discharge from the enemy, and GEN
eral Douay, almost alone, fell dead.

Prince Salm.Salm.

Who will be remembered in this vicini-
ty as connected with the Federal army
during our late civil war, was killed in the
battle of Gravelotte, fought near Metz on
the 18th of August. At the close of our
war, he went to Mexico, and joined the
forces of Maximillian. He was captured
with that unhappy monarch and very
nearly shared the fate of his chief, but
through the efforts of his wife, his pardon
was secured and he was sent out of the
country. Prince Salm-Salm married an
American lady, Miss Agnes LIE Clerq, who
acquired some notoriety in connection with
the army here and at Atlanta. She fol-
lowed her husband into Mexico, and did
what she could to save the life of Maxi
millian. An item of foreign news states
that the Princess Salm-Salm has passed
her examination in surgery, and is now on
the staff of the Prussian Surgeon General
as Directress of Camp Hospitals. Union

The Canvass in Louisiana,

The Congressional Republican Commit
tee have information that the Democratic
managers in Louisiana are working very
busily to secure the negro vote. The
Chairman of the principal committee in
that State lately received a letter from o
colored man inquiring whether a negro
delegate would be received at the Demo-
cratic convention. In reply, the Chair
man began by expressing his astonishment
that such a question should be asked,
since it was matter of universal knowl-
edge that the Democratic party was the
party of the Constitution and of law.
Negroes were voters by the Constitution,
and the Democrats of Louisiana would not
only abide it, but in this case they expect
cd the colored men to meet with them as
a matter of course and would welcome
them,

Admiral Farragut.

The Indifference manifested by govern
ment officials in paying respect to the men,
cry of the late Admiral Farragut, has ex-
cited almost universal comment by the
press of the country. The New York
Times says, "it certainly was most sim
gular fact that no official representative
of the government was present at Admi-
raj Farragut's funeral" In referring to
General Grants absence from the funeral
of the brave old sailor, the Philadelphia
Age says he can travel hundreds of miles
to see horse race, but not one foot tc
honor the man who spent his life in his
country's service, and under its flag.

The Springfield Record, published in

"However we might be inclined to ad-

him to some extent, yet the overwhelming
voice of the people of Robertson calls for
the gallant and chivalrOus Brown as their
standard bearer, and that voice of thunder
we will and must heed"
