MRS. GENERAL BUTLER.
How she Played ROsaIInG In Gin.
ctnnRti n Third OF q Century Ago.


New York Herald.I
The wife of General Ben iamin
f. Butler, of Lowell, Massachusetts,.
died at the Massachusetts, General
Hospital, in Boston, at an early
hour Saturday morning, Sth. For
a number Of years Mrs. Butler had
suffered from swelling in her neck,
and her friends were led to suppose,
from her medical advisers at Wash
ington, that it was the enlargement
of the gland and could be operated
upon successfully. Mrs. Buffers
sutierings continued to increase, the
lump in her neck pressing so hard
upon the windpipe that it was only
with the greatest difficulty she
could breathe. Mrs. Butler and the
General arrived at the fremont
House, Boston, from Washington,
on Tuesday night last, and con-
sultation of Drs. Cabot, Gay and
and Knight was had the following
day, when it was decided an opera
ton should take place. She was
accordingly removed to the hos
pital, and at II o'clock on Thurs
day the operation was performed.
Instead of the sufferings proceed
ing from an enlargement of the
gland a cancer was discovered, the
roots Of which had encircled and
penetrated the windpipe, leaving
but little space for the functions of
breathing to- be carried on. The
doctors skill was baffled by the
cancer and theGeneral was informed
that nothing could be done to save
the life of his wife.
Mrs. Butler was a very excellent
and worthy lady, a devoted mother
and an affectionate wife, and among
her most intimate acquaintance
was highly esteemed for her domes-
tic virtues. She was about fifty-five
years of age, and leaves three chill
dren to mourn her loss. She was a
daughter of DR.. Israel Hildreth, of
Lowell, and while on a visit to
N. Y, became enamored
Of the stage. After being under
the tuition of Mrs. Vernon she
made her debut August 10, 1887,
1T the Park Theater, New York, as
Marianna," in The Wife, for the
benefit of Mr.. Chippendale, and the
following season was engaged by
Mr.. William Abbott for the 'iuven-
lie ladies in his theaters in Charles
on and Columbia, S. @. She PLAYED
5he season in those two cities
md brief engagement in
conjunction with Louis Fitz-
gerald Tasistro at Savannah. |
She then performed, under an
Engagement with j. NJ. Weston & |
JO., in Wilmington and Fayette-
lille, N. c., and in Norfolk and
Portsmouth, Va, returning home
rom the latter place. She then
olayed a brief engagement at the
Howard Athen@um in Boston. In
-S42 Mr.. W. Il. Chippendale en-
ragged her for the leading of the
National Theater in Cine natl,
where she openedaS "RosalinG, " in
Is You Like it, but becoming
atigued with study, resigned her
position after three months. Dur
ng this time she performed a star
Engagement at Louisville, and re-
eived coplimentary benefit, ap-
,earing as "Ion," which was visited
" the elite of Cincinnati, with
whom she had a large acquaintance.
This was her last appearance as an
ctress, and she was soon after
married to General Butler.

MEN As LovRRs.-In the first place, it
is an imposition on any well-bred girl to
keep her up later than half past ten
o'clock, when you have the opportunity
of seeing her often. If you always leave
her with the wish in her heart that you
had stayed longer, you gain. so much,
Never run the risk of wearying her with
your presence. Be just as earnest and
straightforward as in your honorable
dealing with men. Impress your friends
with the worthinsss and seriousness of
your love, so that vulgar and senseless
bantering will appear to them as such.
Love in religion-the supremest happi-
ness, wear it manfully and proudly, but
holly. Woo woman bravely. If there
is anything humiliating to woman, it is
to have q lover, whom she wishes to
honor, weak and vapid, ever yielding and
half afraid of her. She longs to tell him
to "act like manp' The man who con-
ceals or denies his love for fear of being
laughed at is coward. A love that has
no element of divinity in it is not love,
but passion, which of itself has nothing
ennobling. That was beautiful in
scription on an engagement ring, ."Each
for the other and both for God"

MEASURING BY THE EYB.-Years ago,
when we went to school in little
weather-beaten school-house, what excl
ting contests there used to be over the
teachers favorite exercise of having the
scholars estimate with the eye the size
and weight of different objects in the
room! He would hold up his cane, and
have each one tell how long he thought
it was, and it was lucky child that could
come within half q foot of the right
length. He would measure an urchin
and then have the scholars try to repro
duce the measure on the wall. He
would mark off an inch or foot or a
yard in some conspicuous place, and then
see how near anybody could come to
chalking the same length upon the black
board. And it was astonishing how wide
astray one would go. The fact is, our
eyes deceive us ridiculously even upon
the commonest things. At first thought
which should you say was the taller, q
three-year-old child or -four barrel ?
and could anything but actual measure.
ment convince you that the same child
was half as high as six-footer? There
is an old saying that child two years
old is half US tall as he ever will be; and
after few experiments in measuring one
can easily believe it, but not before

LOVING AND BEING LovBD.-Perhaps
there is no more painful tins in q wo-
mans life than the time of transition,
when tho assiduous lover is passing into
the matter-of-fact husband, and the wooer
is gradually changing into the master.
Women, who are 50 much more sensltive
than mon, more sentimental, too, and
less content to trust in silence to an un-
demonstrative affection, are for the most
part happy only while they are being
made love to. It is not enough to be
loved they want to be told twenty times
q day, and to have the harmonies of life
enriched by o crowd of occasional
notes. embroidering the solid substance
by which they live. Men, on the contra
~, get tired Of making love. When they
have wooed and won, they are content
to be quiet, and to take all the rest for
granted. They are not cold, however,
because they are secure; and to most
and those the best-practieal kindness is
better than fattery, security ranks before
excitement and hysteria, and life passed
in serene friendship, fearing no evil,
knowing no break, and needing no prais-
ing, is better than life passed in a perpet-
ual turmoil of passion, where there are
scenes and tears, and doubt, and broken
hearts, if there are not endless courtships

NEURALGIA In WoMEN.-A physician
of London hospital writes to the British
Medical Journal: 'There is no recog-
nized reason why Of late years neuralgia
of the face and scalp should have in.
creased 30 much in the female sex as
compared with our own. There is no
doubt that it is one of the most common
of female maladies-one of the most
painful and difficult of treatment, 1t is
also cause of much mental depression,
and leads oftener to habits of intemper.
ance than any other. This growing
prevalence Of neuralgia may to some ex-
tent be referred to the effects of cold up
on the terminal branches of the nerves
distributed to the skin, and the reason
why men are less subject to it than wo.
men may to great extent be explained
by the much greater protection afforded
by the mode in which the former cover
their heads when they are in the open
air. It may be observed that the surface
of the head which is actually covered in
man is ut least three times that which
fashion allows to women; indeed, the
points of contact between the hat or bon
net and the head in the latter are so ir-
regular as practically to destroy any pro-
lection which might otherwise be Afford

RESOURCES OF SOUTH CAROLINA
The present poverty of South Carolina is
not due to lack of resources, but to the
manner in which these resources are en-
ployed. The industrial returns of the
year 1875 furnish the proofs on this point.
There were produced in that twelve
month 6,421, 1862 gallons of turpentine
and 343, ,l46 barrels of resin, l39, ,939, ,458
pounds of short staple cotton, 1921, ,9S9
pounds of long staple cotton, 897 146
bushels Of rice, 9,454, ,341 bushels of corn,
662, ,912 bushels of wheat, 1872 bushels
of rye, 772,590 bushels of oats, 466, $50
bushels of peas and beans, 1,568,533
bushels of potatoes, and 6,975 tons of
hay. The freedmen show good indus
trial record in these crop statistics, ex-
elusive of what they raised on shares.
They produced. 1,l77,732- peaa11ds, or
more than half OF all the long staple cot
ton raised, and over 27, 900, 900 pounds of
the short staple cotton, with corn, wheat,
os..ss,, etc., TO correspond. The products
of the State are grouped in no less than
twenty-six departments, and it is no
wonder that a notorious United States
Senator from that Commonwealth has
declared to his political friends that there
are give years of good stealing in the
State yet" Only get it out of the
clutches Of these political cormorants,
and prosperity will soon return with its
train of blessings.-Sauannah Ne,cs.
