Butter as a Bird.
From the New York Tim es.

From the New York Times.
The proceedings at Worcester,
threw two of our contem-
poraries-the Tribune and Herald
into an ornithological reverie.
Each introduced its leading article
with a figure Of speech in which
General Butler is compared to one
Of the fowls of the air. The Tribune
constructs a lsbored simile where
in the General figures as the thiev-
ing cuckoo, which steals the nest
of the harmless and tuneful lark to
lay its eggs in. The Herald, after
summoning up and rejecting as i'm
practicable each of the five varie-
ties of birds that enliven the
cricket grounds of Trinity College.
Dublin, finally chose the stormy
petrol, and drew a striking and
more or less poetical parallel be-
tween General Butler and that un-
comfortable and ominous bird. The
Tribune garnished its article with
the usual Tribune blunder, making
the cuckoo hatch the eggs it
has deposited in the lark's nest,
which 1t does not do, leaving that
duty to the undiscriminating own
er OF the nest. Eschewing hard
facts, and combining itself to the
misty realms of fancy, the Herald
escaped that danger. But why
limit this comparison to one poor
bird? The woods are full OF them,
and the General is like unto most
of them. Now he Is the harsh and
wrangling daw, and anon the
spoonbill duck. He is evidently

AFTER all the violent denunciR-

there seems to be growing in Eng

etatssman's opinion that Disraeli
has merely multiplied the dangers

tuds at the Berlin Conference is
fhe correct one. It is claimed, by
those who have not permitted
themselves to be dazzled by the
GlAmour that attaches to Lord Bea-
consfield's name, that the selection
Of the Island o: Cyprus as mill
tary and naval station was most
unfortunate, the largest and least
defsnsible island in that portion OF
the Mediterranean having been hit
upon. The protectorate which Dis
rasli has assumed for England over
Asiatic Turkey Is regarded as abso-
lutsly impracticable and pregnant
with future complications. There
