A True Story of General Butler.

ATERV1LLE, sept. Z9ln, 1911. F.
Mr.. EDITOR, Many apochryphal stories
have been told of Gen. Buffers career as a
student at the college in this town The
one am about TO tell you is, 1 regret to say
tue in every particular. 1t is certainly Q
strong confirmation of the popular impression
in regard to the Massachusetts, Congressman's
moral character.
When young Butler left WatervilIe on tax
ing his degree, he took ',French leave of two
persons-the young lady to whom he was en-
gagged to be married and the mercI ant who
trusted hun for his graduating suit" o.
clothes. He never reopened communication
with either. party. Regard for the feelings OF
most estimable lady who is still living, for
bids me TO say more in regard to his broken
VOWS. But in reference to that Commence
ment suit" there is need of no reticence.
Ten years passed over the patient mer-
chants head while he was waiting to heai
from his creditor who was growing rich and
famous as a lawyer ia Lowell. 1t was not
till the expiration of that time that he ad-
dressed to Butler polite note reminding
him of the forgotten debt. To this note
Butler did not condescend to make airy reply
whatever. A year or two afterwards the
merchant, happening to be in Lowell, called
at his debtors office. The scene that ensued
was entirely characteristic. On being re-
minded OF his unhandsome concucssButler
earnestly denied ever receiving any commu-
nication whatever from his creditor. After.
wards dispute arising as to the amount OF
his indebtedness, he grew extremely violent
and abusive, ut Suus mos est, and finally, in
his intense excitement, produced in confirm
aion OF his own statements the Uery letter
the existence ofavhich he had just denied! His
attention being called to the equivocal posi-
ton in which he had placed himself, be
vouchsafed no reply, being for once in his
life at loss for an answer. Finally, after
long conversation which was mainly a sue
cesson OF expIetives on Buffers part, he pro
duced the amount oil the bill. and, handing il
10 the merchant, demanded receipt. per
sistently refusing TO pay any interest. The
c. editor, however, refused to receipt the BILL
saying that he would give Butler credit for
in0 auouuG leCetFeu, am WlIllnOlu Gne &c
ceipt till the interest was paid. Here Butler
renewed his vituperative language, and,
his conduct becoming too outrageous for en-
durance, the merchant demanded instant pay
ment of the entire debt. This Butler refused
with louder roars than ever. "Mr. Butler.n
said the merchant, you can take YOUR
choice; either pay this entire bill within the
two days that remain in the city, or will
sell it at public auction in front of your own
door," At this the hero of Big Bethel
and Fort Fisher fairly foamed at the mouth,
but when his visitor had reached the street
he called him back and paid him without
more ado. AIr,tNrs

REPORT ON NATIVE WINES.
The special committee appointed to examine
the domestic wines on exhibition, report thai
the only samples presented Were from the vim
tase OF M. Keller, California, and that during
the four days of the fair, through the courtesy
OF Mr.. ii. N. Ruegles, the agent in charge, am
pie opportunities were afforded for tasting and
testing them. There were seven varieties
Port, Sherry, Mdderad, angelica, White aoi7se
Hook and Etdor0dO. There were also exhibit
ed samples OF wine biters and brandy.
These wines all of fine quality and
though differing in flavor from foreign wines
OF the same classes, are pronounced by compe-
tent judges equal to them in every characters
tic; aud your committee cordially endorse
this judgment, and express the hope that the
day is at haBd when the importation of wines
shall cease altogether, or that less favored ma
tons 81 all be largely supplied from the vine
yards of the United States. All nations crave
stimulants of some kind. From the earliest
ages CT the world the juice of the grape has
been freely DRINK and has made glad the heart
of macy wearied sage and soldier, divine
and sta esman. Bus in colder chimes the vine
does not flourish, aud hence it is that northern
people have unhappily resorted to such alco-
hoiic liquors are distilled mainly from corn
ana cane, while the more southern rejoice in
the use Of the comparatively harmless produc-
tlon OF the vineyard.
Your committee would esnecially notice
M hellers Dsne bttters by adopting the lam
Puage OF report of the Hon. G. N Lawrence
maze to the Commissioner of Agriculture, in
1901 rms WINE bitters is commended as
superior substitute for the alcoholic com
pounds now sold to the public" Aud addino
than they have the taste OF pure wine but little
disguised by bitter herb, and vet thew at
once ditfuse through the system a grateful
warmth that arousps without irritating
BAs to M. Keller's Brandy,lyour committee
would simply adopt the words of one whose
experience entities his judgment to respect.
ST is smooth and pleasant to the taste, and
there is no headache in it.
No premiums are offered for these wines;
but your committee deem the m worthy OF spec
lal consideration and recommend that gold
medal be awarded for the wines, and another
for the wine bitters.
Per order of the Committee.

Indian country and lend us their aid in solving the difficult problem in Arizona, and share with me the abuse am daily receiving from the press and people of this Territory for "cul- tivating friendly relations with the savages." Some there are so impolitic as to assert that 8 large number of persons styling themselves Arizonians are opposed to any measures looking to a solution of this problem, and in that case the Apache war would be ended, the Army withdrawn, and their occupation gone: and 1t must be admitted that circumstances go very far toward warranting this assump- tion. Most of the depredations that have been committed during the past few months have been traceable to the Tontos and Finals or to band composed of no one knows exactly what or who. l am led to believe, however, that this band is composed of remnants mixed up with few renegade Mexicans. Their field of operations lies along the boundary line between Arizona andSonora, depre- dating on either as opportunity offers. The troops have been very active dur ing the present year, fully as much so as the number of their horses and means of transportation would allow ]; and, although the number of Indians actually killed has not been comment surate with the efforts made Ia subject Of regret to none more than those en- gaged) nevertheless their movements have had a vast influence on the savages of this region, and has taught them that their country can and will be occupied, and has imbued them with feeling of very great se- curity.
 : 1 am very respectfully your obedi- ent servant,
