A Good Butler Story

From tho Brooklyn Eagle, Dec. IL.
A New York paper declares
to-day that Gen. Butler was
never considered q jackass OF
an idiot. No, he never was SC
considered. What Butler con.
siders himself can be gathered
from this satisfaction at not
being called a d-n fool; no
matter if they call me a d-n
scoundrel." 1t ought to be
added that Butler never con-
.sidered it important whose
initials were on spoons and
such. Apropos of this genial
confiscator Of the contents of
disloyal sideboards, the follow
ing story will be found both
new and true: While Ben
bossed New Orleans he in
formed f a waggish but very i'll
Confederate officer, then sick
at home in the city, that he
must take the oath or clear out.
This order was peremptory.
The Confederate demurred as
much as possible, alleging that
he M was up anyhow, that he
didn't believe in the old
government at all, and that the
odds were he would soon die
and 80 he got Ben to admin
ister t be dose to himself. Ben
complied, holding the hook
behind the back Of bis neck,
so as to bring it within range
of his serviceable orb. The
officer swallowed the oatll with
sincere and suggestive grima-
ces. At its close he seemed
rejnvenated and he asked
Butler, "Ain't I as good a
Union man as you now, Gen.
eraI?' Yes, if you live up to
chat oath,' rejoined Ben.
And I can abuse the South az
loud as the worst of you?"
Inquired the officer. "To your
hearts content" replied the
Beauty. "WeIl, then, Gener-
al" added The sick man, raising
in bed, and fixing" Buffers

Is a Railroad Man a Gentle

There seems to be a differ

Walnut Street M. e. Sunday

Last Sunday one Of the

boys were stumped, and had
to give it up; but one little fel-
low thought he knew, and

But this answer had hardly
been made before another
youth sang out: "No he amt,
neither. Mr.. Peabody amt no
gentleman. He's arailroader!'
The young gentleman
brought down the house by"
his reply, andwas sent up head.
1t is understood that he is to
receive an annual pass over the
M. d Q. for the year 1872, as a
reward of merit for his success
in the study of human nature.

Radical Frauds.

The Republicans in the
Senate have stiilcd Mr.. Trum-

to evode the matter by
resurecting the old Commit

Reform. Mr., Trumbull pro.
posed a special committee
which would be able to accom-

Whether or not the District authorities took
just the proper course to effect the removal OF
the Northern market sheds is q matter for dis
cussion, but there can be no question as to the
dastardly character of the efforts of the Patriot
TO incite deeds of violence in response to that
action. Its quite in keeping with the thorough
contempt that paper and its managers, indi-
vidually and collectively, have always expressed
for ''the people"-or ''the rabble," as they pri-
vately phrase it, that they should so underrate
the character and intelligence OF our citizens
as to suppose they could be Influenced by such
appeals. "The people," as the money-bsgs

must be so, we fear, when the efforts of the
