Butler on the Army.
Gen. Butler, in the latter portion of his
speech on the labor question the other
night, said: "Instead of every regiment
posted on the frontier the Government
should support four hundred families set
tied on the public lands, with strong work
ingmen at their heads, and give them arms.
They would protect themselves from In
dians and prevent incursions. They would
be an army, not of consumers, but of pro-
ducers, and each settlement would be
stronger than regiment, and be in fact a
regiment of militia. When that is accom-
plished it will be time enough to talk about
disbanding your army and cutting it down
to few sergeants to keep the guns and car
riages in the several posts painted Edu-
cate the officers and let them devote their
efforts to private life until the contingency
of actual war calls them into action"

Tilton reiterated statements made in her
latest confession, while Mrs. Morse de-
nounced churches and ministers in gem
eral and Plymouth Church and
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher in particular
The Committee decided that the letter
should be returned to Mrs. Walton, with a
request thate her charges be made more
specific and should apply to Mrs Tilton
alone, inasmuch as Mrs. Morse's connection
with Plymouth Church was severed in 1871.
Mr.. White said to a reporter that another
member of the church would be found to
prefer charges against Mrs. Tlton, provided
Mrs Walton did not comply with the Com

her elders by playing making calls

The Bear and the Lion.

There have been instances where
brutes of opposite natures have
rubbed noses, growled, turned about
and-about, bristled and growled
again, and yet parted without fight
ing. But such spectacles are rare.
Contiguity of the kind usually pro-
duces belligerency. There is un-
doubtedly still a chance, therefore,
that the symbolic bear and the
metaphoric lion, in point of fact
Russia and England, may come off
the field carcass-whole and smiling;
old Gortschakoff twirling his nous
tache with a feeling of grimness
akin to disappointment, and Dizzy
biting that thin under lip of his,
like one who realizes the uncom-
Portable but enviable fact that he
has reached, or is about to reach
the end of things. The chance
however, is as one in a hundred.
The confronting animals hate each
other. The two opposing Ministers
have everything to gain, and little
or nothing TO- lose, seeing that each
is ON the brink of the grave, in clos
ing their careers on earth by a
pride, pomp and circumstance beft-
ting the brilliant and adventurous
characteristics by which they have
been marked throughout their long,
eventful lives, Each has a motive
for going to. war; one of them at
least can not afford to come of
without the firing of a gun. So

New Leather Material.


The novel kind of fabric known
as cork leather, is shown to possess
qualities of adaptability which are
likely TO lead to its extensive intro
duction, for certain purposes. in
place of the ordinary or natural
substances. As already described,
this material consists, simply Of thin
sheets of cork covered on both
sides with an extremely light india
rubber skin. with an ordinary tex
tile fabric outside Of all, the whole
becoming one quasi-homogeneous
tissue; and, although the cork
sheets in their normal state are per-
fectly permeable by water, friable
and brittle, and endowed with very
little cohesion or strength, having
only the positive qualities of light-
ness and non-conduction or heat,
yet when subjected to NJ. Moreau's
process, the result is said 10 be an
extremely supple and strong fabric,
and, while still retaining its light
ness and impenetrability TO heat, is
rendered water and moisture proof
1t is proved too that this new fabric
may be crumpled up, rubbed and
wrung like calico or linen in the
wash, doubled up any number Of
times and hammered with mallet,
without injury, and the interior
web Of cork, which is the basis of
the fabric, neither cracks nor tears
in any way, but preserves its unity.
The external appearance varies with
the nature Of the textile article used
in combination.

But the more experienced and sue

that when trade is dull, it is more
necessary to keep his name and his
wares prominently before the public,
in order the more surely to effect
the sale OF his merchandise. When
trade is active, buyers are plenty
and quite apt to ask for what they
want, but when the wheels of com

But the animus OF this bitter an

WHEN WILL CONGRESS ADJOURN?
This question is asked a thou
sand times a year, but nobody can
give q definite answer. Yesterday /
propounded 1t to Senator Thurman,
the distinguished leader of the dem
ocraJic party in Congress, and a
man who is likely to be made leader
of the nation in 1880. He thinks
the adjournment will take place
about the first week in July. Many
representative who wish to be at
home to aid in making themselves
their own successors, naturally de-
sire an early adjournment, while
others prefer to stick to their work
until they can show more substan-
tial fruits of wholesome legislation.
