GENERAL BUTLER INTERVIEWED.
What lie is Reported to Say.
Ills OPINION Or A CONTEST BETWEEN
CONGRESS AND BANKS.

NEW YORK. January IA. In an interview here.
Benz amin +. Butler said if the banks combined
to oppose the law of Congress. they will provoke
contest in which they W i'll last them an entire
generation, as the United States bank got lesson
which lasted it until this generation.
When banks, the creatures of congressional
legislation, set Themselves up against their creator
there is a very short way of dealing with them, to
wit: The power that made them can and ought
to unmake them.
In my judgment it would be the duty OF Con-
gress to take away the charter of any bank or
banks that enter into any combination TO nulify
the laws of Congress. If, as is admitted, there IS
an absolute majority in both houses in favor of
silver currency, and As it is also admitted the con-
stltution has placed within the Jurisdiction of the
two houses the right to coin money and regulate
the value thereof that majority acting within its
constitutional power will lot permit any set of
men for their own gain TO nulhfy that Or any 9TH
or law of Congress.

are Not Entirely Agreed

BosToN, January IA. At Lynn to day, on &C
count of bad weather no unusual demonstrations
OF strikers were made. Most of the shoe opera
tves who were requested by their employers to
withdraw from the Crispns or quit WORK, have
adopted the latter alternative.
Manufacturers have not unanimously agreed on
their course and operatives are much encouraged
in consequence. A number of manufacturers who
signed the resolution have changed their mind.
The female lasters in one of the shops struck
this fore noon, because the proprietors would not
take down Objectionable resolutions, and most of
their companions in other shops will strike this al
ernoon.

In justice to "Mr Poor" so called, in the article
ia the Portland Press of yesterday, we arc author
lied to say that our preventative who introduced
the order inqulring into the eXpediency of some
law to protect ice in ponds are rivers 10 this State
never had any conversation with him in regard to
the matter, or with any other person in the inter
est OF the so called gentleman. 1t was found az
ter investigation by some of our best legal talent
that our statutes were wanting in that no proyi-
sion could be found guarding the great ice works
in this State. II was therefore deemed expedient
that some provision should be made not only to
protect the ice OPERATOR but TO guarantee employ
meut to laboiers, for if the ice fields are wlfully
and malciousy destroyed not only is the operator
injured but all men employed are thrown out of
work. Is it not as necessary in the interest OF the
honest workmen to have this provision OF law as
for the operator TO have it. The law asked for
will be similar to that III Massachusetts aud other

Homely girls should never elope or COM
NIT suicide-in short, should never do any,
thing which will render them liable to get

the sad experience know what an awful
irksom task it is for reporter to dish up
readable article about a scrawny, freckle-
faced girl who has jumped into the river
or taken strychnine, or done some other
terrible deed, all for love. Wedon't mean
to say that scrawny freckle-faced girl
shouldn't fall in love, but we do emphatic
alley, nay, tearfully, mention that this spe-
cies of the soft sex should so demean them,
selves in all their loving and living as to
keep ont of the realm which properly be-
longs to the sensitive reporter. 1t is a
pleasure, a divine pleasure, to write up the
misfortunes of the beautiful. What news

hang upon the suicide with golden hair,
and thin, white hands, and broad, marble
forehead and shell-like ears, and regular,
classic hose, and willowy form and plump
white shoulders. Why, be fairly gloats
over the victim. He wouldn't have had
her live for all the riches in the world. He
presents her to his readeas thousand times
fairer than she is. And yet, put in her
place upon the slab at the morgue, a stout
ish or scrawny creature, with wart on her
cheek, or glass eye, or cork leg, or q
false teeth, or red hair, or bow legs--the
spirit of the reporter plump down into his
boots and he either abandons himself to a
chaotic, oblivious debauch, or writes up the
really good item in "half stickful," or in
veigles the ingenious paragraphist of the
paper into drawing upon his fruitful imag.
