BEN BUTLER.

Ben Batter has left the Republican
party. Hank to what he says:
He came not to make a speech,
but to commune with the pe0pl, in
regard to the public interests OF the
day. lie had left the old partiee.
He belonged TO the Democratic party
until it attempted to destroy the
Union, and was with the Republican
party till 1t deserted its founders, the
laboring men. Capitalists now held
the Republican party bound hand and
foot. Hayes has violated every
plsdge, and betrayed the negro of the
south. The effort of Grants q lmin-
istration to strengthen the public
credit was q swindle. He reviewed
the history Of the greenbark currency,
and claimed it should be made legal
tender for all debts, whether pubic
or private. J

TOADYISM.

Mr.. EDIroR: Now that Daylight
strikes us softly through Forrist
,hades in the Union, a s. o called Re-
publican sheet published on the cor
ner, we may expect as it has begun
to give us m in~terminable strain of
sylophantic music, pitched to a mi
nor key, mixed up with lengthy dis
sertations of the character OF the arti-
cle s:yled, "What the people want
and so full of sophistical absurdities,
that it would require an extra editor
to do nothing else but to puncture
with his pen the Numerous follies that
therein appear and attract the eye as
the colored ladders we see held by a
string in the hand of some itenerant
vender upon our streets so netime-
stick a pin in One and it collapses /;
its beauty is gone !; or cut the string
that holds 10 and off ittanas into the
regions of thin air. Did 6oc,
- .~~e, who ky. > anything
about law and the legal wants of the
people, evcr hear OF more absurd
suggestions for giving relief to the
people in a fnaneia! way than were
suggested in the long=winded two
column editorial of Saturdays Union,
viz: Under execution sell not the
mans interest in the land levied
upon, but the whole thing, whether
he owns anything in it or not, and
turn the owner out. Then, he says,
q man will know what be is buying.
Most men would say what are the re-
cords of deeds and mortgages made
for II not to show precisely who owns
the land. Then atteF a man has got
a judgment upon a loan Of money,
don't let him collect it., but compel
him to let the mar have it q year
longer whether he will or not.
Again in the Issue of Wednesday
in his article upon Glascock it is ex-
ceedingly laughablc to notice what a
difference there Is betwixt his premi-
SEES and his conclusions. Ile tries TO
prove that Glascock had the right to
arrest Berry without IL warrant. lie
cites some sections of Missouri Sat
utes, he then draws the ".riumpllant''
conclusion that he has proved it.
Stranger, if you can see the sequitur
1t is in the language of the djstins
guished writer "a matter OF the pro-
foundest indifference" to ME. For
example, | assert that blood will flow
from Il stab, ! take a turnip and
thrust a sharp knife in it. Hers my
friend is blood from that wound, you
e 1t, 10 matter ] tell you it is

ton OF my assertion and logically
proven.
Now the other article on Judge
Buckner, whilst We do not dissent from
any of the commentators of the
gentleman, the wonder is
In what way are the republic N read

The Egyptian Obalisks.

There are now three Egyptians ODE
lisks in Europe-One in front of st.
Peters at Rome, one in Place de la Con.
corde, in Paris, and one on the Thames
Embankment, near Waterloo bridge.
The last, we are told, was raised to its
position, a few weeks ago, without a
hitch. When the signal was given, the
monolith began slowly to move on its
iron axis, and with no apparent strain
on any point, the giant block Of stone
gradually raised its head until at an
angle of ten or fifteen degrees from the
perpendicular, it came to perfect rest,
suspended on its centre of gravity. 1t
was then easily moved into its proper
place. Within the pedestal had been
placed an earthenware jar containing
Bibles in French and English, an Ara.
bic Genesis, q Hebrew Pentateuch and
a verse from the third chapter of St.
John, In 2l5 different languages. 1t has
been pointed out that this enterprise is
only the second instance since the time
of the Roman Emperors of the trans
port of a colossal obelisk from the shores
of Asia to another parto of the world. The
first instance was the memorable enter
prise of Louis PHILIPPE, In removing the
Luxor monolith of Rameses H., to the
centre of the Place de Ia Concorde in
Paris. 1t was set on Its pedestal on the
25th of October, 1926, in the presence of
the king, the Royal Family, and an i'm
mense concourse of people. Some SAIL
ors climbed to the top when 1t was
firmly in place, and placed the t%ri-colo
there, amid the shouts of the multitude
below. When the obelisk at St. Peters,
in Rome, was set up in 1856, it required
the joint labor of 1900 men and 140
horses, straining for a month at blocks,
ropes and tackles. But in contrast with
this, only a dozen men were working
at the cranks In London and they raised
the obelisk in half an hour. There are
only twelve colossal obellsks now stand
ing, on the face of the earth. Five are
In Egypt, four in Rome, and one, each,
in Paris, London, and Constantinople.
1t cost about 9l5,000 to remove Cieopa-
tra's Needle to Lotdon and set IL up,
but Louis Phillipe's Government ex-
pended between Gs0,90O and 100000 to
secure theirs. The obelisks at Rome,
Paris and London, are very much alike.
They are of grey granite, about 60 or 20
feet In height, exclusive of the pedestals
upon which they stand, and four feet
square at the base, tapering to the top.
the four sides of each are covered with
~hleroglyphics cut In stone, portions of
which are nearly obliterated. All are
In a good state of preservation.

A Transported Scalp.-Four years
ago Miss Lucy A. Osborne, of New Mil
ford, Conn, had her scalp, right ear
and part Of the right cheek torn of by
the catching of hair in rapidly moving
machinery. She has since been under
treatment In a hospital In this city, but
was recently sent home with a new
scalp, produced by the process Of skin
grating, the CRAFTS being furnished by
the hospital surgeons. 1t is said that
$1,000 pieces were used In the operation.
One of the surgeons contributed from
his person / 202 pieces, and another
gave S65. The appearance of the scalp
nov is similar TO that of a healed
wound. OF course, there can be no
growth of hair thereon. The eyes still
present a slightly drawn appearance.
The wounds of the cheek and ear have
been neatly dressed, the former leaving
scarcely a scar. In the first of the
grating process, bits of skin the size of
Aickel pieces were employed, but not
with good success, and at the suggest
ion of an English surgeon much small
er pieces were substituted, and with ex-
cellent results. Miss Osborne is now 20
years old.

"Twelve years for stealing meal to
keep his family from starving" This
statement is made by an official of the
Eastern Pennsylvania penitendary as
a veritable fact: AT present there is
q man confined in the penitentiary
who is serving out a sentence for The
larency of food which was to feed his
starving wife and children. The mans
story is this, and it is vouched for by a
fellow prisoner, who was concerned in
the robberies, and to whom the court
gave two years. | was coal miner, re-
siding in Scranton, n dduring the sus-
pension of work last winter, like many
others, | vas on the verge of starya-
ton. | looked over my larder and
found Indian meal and meat enough to
last me a week. After that was gone,
| knew not were the next was to come
from. There was my wife and three
children to be looked after, with no
prospect Of work, because the big men
of the coal companies were fighting
among themselves, and the poor miners
we're starving. In the same house with
me was n Dutchman, also a miner. Sc
eing that things were becoming despe-
rate, one day | proposed to the other
fellow that we should go into the
country and get enough meal to keep
us for n month. We took another fell
low with us (there he is, said the
man, pointing to the two-year fellow
We went into SIX barns and stole rs
much Indian meal AS we could carry.
Then the Dutchman went into n kitch-
en- and stole two cans of fruit. When
we were nearly back to town, this man
here found a spring house open and a
piece of meat followed him out of there.
We were arrested afterwards and tried.
The Dutchman turned States evidence,
and the Judge gave me II years 1.-TWO
years for each barn | went into.) while
my companion got two years for that
piece Of meat. I'll tell you what, Its
rough to lock a nan up that long for so
tri1ing acrime, when he does 1t to keep
the wolf from the door.
