ley. When the President found out that she
was paying out money for her appointment,

We are willing to waive personal preference,
delegates must never consent to commit
Republican principles to any standard bearer
OF doubtful position, or who does not in his
own character afford assurance OF the prac-
tice of economy, honesty and purity in all
matters Of administration. The delegates
are said to stand on the Presidential question
as follows: For Bristow, 4; Blaine, II; Nor

Gen. Butler as q Lover.

THE New York correspondent of the
Baltimore NelrS relates the following:
Apropos OF theatricais, / have heard
my mother tell a little story of the late
Mrs. Butler, and of Ben. Butler as a
lover. Miss Hlldreth was lovely young
creature who had espoused the stage, and
was fairly successful for those days when
no such fame and fortune were made as
in these. She came to Cincinnati to play
an engagement, and had hardly begun
when b. +. Butler, who had fallen IN love
with her some time previously, came after
her. 1t was understood by the company
that although she favored his suit, she
was not disposed to marry as soon as he
desired. He had - go to New Orleans on
n short trip, and told her that he would
give her until he came back to make up
her mind. He left the city, was gone
short time, and one night made his APP
pearance in the green.room. Miss Hi.
dreth was playing Pauline in the Lady
of Lyons, " and when she came off the
stage, found the impetuous and then OBJ
scure Ben, waiting most impatienty for
his answer. She gave it in the atlirma-
tive, ana he hurried her away with all the
ardor of the first Napoleon on his second
marriage. At that time Butler was q
strong, well-knit young fellow, with re
markable conversational powers. They
must have been great, indeed, to have
won so lovely and so desirable a partner
for life. Long a sufferer from ore OF the
most agonizing maiadies to which female
flesh is heir, cancer, Mrs. Butler bore her
torments with more than mere patience
with resignation and dignity, and com
paratively young has laid down her life
martyr To disease
