GEN. BUTLER AND HIS New PARTY
General B. f. Butler always makes
stir in whatever he engages. He is the
center of considerable political agitation
in Massachusetts. A Boston correspond
ent of the New York Tribune says:
Gen. Buffers self-nomination for the
gubernatorial chair has exploded nearly
all the political magazines in the State,
and is producing the same uproar which,
like an echo, follows most of his procla-
nations. He is regarded by the old and
tried members ofthe Republican party as an
extremely dangerous man at any time. But
just now his actions are looked upon with
more than usual distrust, on account OF
his absurd ideas upon some important
matters of public policy. His ideas of
public faith in financial matters are partic-
ularly mistrusted. He desires the fOrma-
ton of new party He has platform
of his own, conglOmerated of labor theO-
ries, partial reputation, and war with
somebody, which he believes will be the
foundation of the new party. Buffers own
declaration, that the possibility OF his re-
lection by the Republican convention was
contingency not worth considering,
shows full we'll that he is basing his hopes
of success upon the support of the new
party, whether he is nominated by the Re-
publicans or not"

To the Friends Of the Bible Cause in Knox
Vile

1t is we'll to inform the Christian geOple
of the city that the Knoxville Bible So
ciety has III dertaken a great work for this
year In May it resolved to canvass and
supply three counties in the more destitute
region of East Tennessee, and in two of
these cOlporteurs are now diligently en-
gagged. These colporteurs are not only
B BILE distributors but evangelists, instruct
ed to use all opportunities for preaching to
the destitute, instructing the ignorant and
praying in neglected families; they keep
themselves in close correspondence with
me, and their letters furnish lively pic
ture of labors, trials and consultations in
faithful efforts to plant the truth in moral
wastes. The following extracts form the
correspondence of one of these mission
aries, an experienced minister, are publish
ed for the information of all concerned

amounts to SO. found Is of these with
out the Bible. This is the way the matter
stands in the very best portion of the
county. The same writer in another
letter says: II have on my list
thirty-three families, and find fourteen
OF them without Bible, and some nave
no Testaments, and some have no books
at all. DR.. - and l were in the upper

places, and addressed two congregations
on Thursday and two on Friday, and ex-
planned to them the nature of the Bible

day, having great crowd on Sabbath
The writer preached twice each day on
the Tuesday and Wednesday following, at
revival, and reports various meetings
where there was decided Interest manifest
ed to hear the word His week days
spent at such meeting are not counted
among his days of service in the Bible
cause and during most of the time thus
occupied the writer was delayed in his
Bible work for the want of books. Those
contributing to the Bible cause can see to
what noble purposes the Knoxville auXil-
iarv is applying the means afforded; and
it is hoped that the glimpses Of destititu-
ton given above will prompt to early and
liberal action the churches which have
not vet taken up their annual collections.

The latest sensational epidemic is the
hunting after hidden treasure, of which
accounts are rapidly coming in from Maine
to California. The last and best is from
Missouri. A gypsy woman persuaded a
wealthy farmer that there was vast wealth
hidden on his land, and that the only way
to find it was by planting SIS, 400 as basis
of operations. The money was planted, u
large pentacle described with that as a
centre, and the farmer deposited at one
angle, to remain blindfOlded while the in
carnations proceeded. He is now search
ing for hidden treasure with a vengeance,
and would like also to find a certain gypsy
woman.

A gentleman in China, intrusted with
packages for a young man from his friends
in the United States, learned that he would
probably be found in a certain gambling
house. He went thither, but not seeing
the young man, sat down and waited in
the hope that he might come in. The place
was bedIam of noises, men getting angry
over their cards, and frequently coming TO
blows. Near him sat two men-one young,
the other 40 years of age. They We're bet
ting and drinking in a terrible way, the
older one giving utterance continually to
the foulest profanity. Two games had
been finished, the young man losing each
time. The third game, with fresh bottles
brandy, had just begun, and the young
man sat laZily back i'll his chair while the
oldest shuffled his cards. The man was a
long time dealing the cards, and the young
man, looking carelesSly about the room,
began TO hum tune. He went on TIL at,
length he began to singthe hymn of Phoebe
Carey above quoted. The words, says the
writer of the story, repeated IN such vile
place, at first made me shudder. A Sab
Dath-schoOl hymn in gambling den But
while the young man sang, the elder stop
ped dealing the cards, stared at the singer
d moment, and, throwing the cards on the
door, exclaimed: Harry, where did you
learn that tuner" "What tune" why,
that one you've been singing" The young
man said be did not know what he had
been singing, when the elder repeated the
words with tears in his eyes, land the young
man said he had learned them i'll Sun
day-school in America. "COme, said the
elder, getting up; come, Harry; here's
what won from you; go and use it fer
some good purpose. AS for me, as God sees
me, l have played my last game, and
drank my last bottle. L have misled you,
Harry, and 1 am sorry. Give me your
hand, my boy, and say that, for old
Americas sake, if for no other, you will
quit this Internal business" The gentle

these two men leave the gambling house
together, and walk away arm in arm.

NEARER HOME.

NEARER HOME.
One sweet solemn thought
Comes to me Ger and DER;
I'm nearer my home to-day
Than / ever have been before
Nearer my Fathers house,
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the cystal sea;
Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down (;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown.
But the waves ofthat silent sea
Roll dark before my sight,
That brightly the other side
Break on shore of light.
q, if my mortal feet
Have almost gained the brink,
Fit be | am nearer home
Even to-day than think,
Father, perfect my trust,
Let my spirit feel in death
That her feet are firmly set
On the rock of a living faith.

1t is rumOred that Tweed has resigned the

probable, hut another report, that he had left

as he was seen in the CITY hours after the YES

by Hall, Sweeney and Green, and the raising of
seven hundred Thousand dollars on park i'm

The papers in the case of Tweed and Fields
were returned by the sheriff TO the attorney gen
