Ben Butler Growing Old and DnIl.
A correspondent writing from Boston


says: =,
He has grown old considerably with
in the past year. Although he took a
long sea.trip in his yacht late in the
summer so as to be i'll tirst-rate trim
for the canvass, he is by no means SO
active and alert as he was year ago,
and unless appearances are very decap-
tive, he will be pretty badly used
ND by the time the coming campaign
closes. Nor is he mentally the man he
was last year.
lie and truth are as far apart as ever,
but to this period of the canvass he has
shown very little of the somewhat grim
and grotesque humor Of past seasons,
and he seems TO have absolutely lost
that old faculty for swift and apt rep
artee when interrupted by some one in
the audience which made it so easy to
overlook his egotism and braggadocio
temporarily, in admiration of his cum
ming and adroitness and skill in orator
ial fencing. The old man is little
heavy this year, if the whole truth
must be told. He shuflles and sham
bles and shoulders himself along rath-
.r laborously when speaking. or
course ther. is immense vitality in him
vet. as there must be to endure the
labor to which he is subiectiug him
self but he has lost q great part OF
what made him the "amoosin' cuss"
that he used to be on the stump. After
all, | cannot help feeling little sad
when see how he is breaking down
and wearing out. There never was
but one Butler-there never Will be
another. Nobody can take his place
when he gives up finally.

A French SensatiOn-EIOpem Of
MARQUIS DE GailiHet's Daughter.

AS published yesterday, it is stated
that daughter of the French General
OF Division, De Gallitfet, Commandant
at Tours, has eloped from Paris to Lon
don for the purpose of marrying son
of Musurus Pacha, the Turkish Ambas
sador there. Both the families that
are concerned in this elopement are ex
ceedingly well known in European so
cie.y. The Marquis De Gallitfet, Cen
eral of Division of the Eighth Corps
ld'Armee, Is one of the most brilliant
soldiers in France. Attached to the
fortunes of the Republic, favored by
Gambetta, worshipped by the literary
Parisiennes whose voice is growing
strong in the State, there is no military
command to which the Marquis de Gal
litfet may not aspire, and none to which
his record does not entitle him. de
momentarily went out of favor under
the Empire for fighting duel with one
of his subalterns.
His restoration was due to the En-
press Eugenie, whose Animation OF his
dashing qualities was unbounded. He
planned, organized and commanded
the military man@uvres which took
place in France the other day. Musu-
rus Pacha, the Turkish Ambassador at
London, has lived almost in retirement
since the day, twelve years ago, when
his wife fell dead at a ball given at the
India House in honor OF the Sultan. He
is much loved by the queen and has
been constant visitor at Windsor Cas-
tie. Some people may remember the
amusing squabble between the wives of
celebrated diplomatists which had its
origin three years ago in the precedence
given to Musurus Pacha's eldest daugh-
ter. His sons are secretaries OF the
Turkish Legation.

The English scythe and snath of to-day are
as cumbrous and unwieldy as those our
stalwart grandfathers swung Fifty years
ago. An American firm of scythe.
facturers sent twenty five dozen scythes to
Sheffield house in 1876, and these were
so well received that one hundred dozen
more were ordered last year. These
scythes weighed little over two pounds
each, were well curved, and polished on
the under surfaces. English scYthes
weigh nearly FIVE pounds, are broad,
straight, and rough, just as the hammer
leaves them, slipping over the stubble
much less easily than the American article.
| The movement to extent our foreign trade
has set manufacturers to studying foreign
markets attentively and toolmakers,
among others, are trying to ascer-
tain what kind of shovels, rakes, plows,
axes, and saws will find most favor in
Mexico, South America, or Australia. Ma
tive tastes and habits will have to be con-
suited on these matters at first. Long
use of clumsy and ill-made tool makes
better one seem inferior. Our manufac-
turers will, perhaps, be compelled for q
time to turn out crude and primitiue i'm
plements, in order to get them into the
hands of Brazilians and -Zealanders

that it came to be looked for as q test oil

The immense drain upon the resources
of the insurance companys, consequent up
on the numerous and terrible fires that
have visited the larger cities Of the east in
the past ten days, can scarcely be stated
10 figures. Eleven companies have been
forced to suspend; eight in New York and
three in Boston. To people accustomed to
life in the smaller cities of the west, it will
partake Of fabulous sound to say that one
building in New York destroyed by fire on
Saturday last, contained a stock of woolens
valued at 81, 425,OOO New York has lost
by fires within ten days 6,425. 900, upon
which was an insurance of something over
$5,5O0,OO0.
This amount, drawn suddenly from the
insurance companies, will deplete their
Golfers, to replenish which the companies
will be compelled to call in the loans that
are scattered over this western country.
As the farmer is the producer, so must al
80 the farmer DO the insurer. Eastern
insurance compa nies have monies loaned in
sums varying from $1,000. to $1,000. and
upward, to farmers in the west, and it is
these loans which must be called in to re-
place the amount lost by the late fires.
Another phase of the disaster is in the
destruction of heavy stocks of goods held
for the spring trade, and Of which greater
or lesser part has probably been sold for
future delivery. Scarcity in certain lines
OF goods, with consequent increase in
price, is but one Of the many evils that
follow in the wake of these disastrous fires.
