Gen. Butterfield for Hancock.

A New York Sun reporter met Gen.
Butterfield and asked him if it was true
that he had come out for Hancock.
" Yes, sir, it is.
"And are you going to take the stump
for him?"

Conkling one day, when we were stand

vote for Hancock, and he said to me, 4
don't blame you.' I never told anybody
about that talk out it las got out, and
I have no reason for wanting it kept a
secret. Conkling knows he said it.
Gen. Butterfeld was Gen. Meade's
Chief of Staff at the battle of Gettys-
burg, and both he and Gen. Hancock
were wounded on that field. Gen. But
terfeld was brought up with the New
York city militia, and in 1861 led the
Twelfth regiment into the field. The
Sunday on which that regiment left this
city Will not be forgotten soon. Gen.
Butterfeld soon rose to the position of
Major General of Volunteers, and, for
gallant conduct on several fields of bat
tie, was subsequently advanced by de-
grees to Brigadier General in the regu-
lar army, and Major General by brevet.

me to support him as candidate for any

WHOLE NUMBER 7O2.


Although withdrawn for some time past from
any part In politics. / cannot be an Indifferent
spectator of Presidential canvass in which a
distinguished and esteemed comrade is named
for the highest Office in the gift of the country
he has SO brilliantly served. No one need be
afraid to confide the Presidency to q soldier
who fought for the Union as Hancock fought.
Among all the fllustrious men who have been
called to the Chief Magistracy none have more
the people by scrupulous adherence
to the best traditions of our pub
lie life. Unused to the arts of q politician,
separated by bis profession from political or
ganizations and never seeking Office, his NOM
ination by vote that represented all parts of
reunited country is pledge of fraternal feel
ing that will become guarantee Of peace and
union in his election. The wiser opinion of the
day is against sectional politics. Enjoying
universal tranquility and prosperity, appeals to
old sectional animosities are offensive to the
good feeling and common sense of the people.
New York desires cordial relations with all
her sister States; and, accepting Southern
support of Hancock as fresh bond of Union,
the "solid" support is proof of "sold "
loyalty Gen. Hancock, viii do his duty. Poll
ticians will not control him. Neither factions
nor sections will intimidate him. He will exc
cute the laws of the land-with all their safe
guards and guarantees-w1thou fear or favor.
The support he receives in the South rebukes,
if it does not silence, geographical prejudices.
And if the North refused its favor to one of
TIE greatest of its commanders, the reproach
of ingratitude that would rest upon us might
challenge unwelcome comparisons with our late
adversaries. The North is not ungrateful.
Gettysburg deserves to name President and
Hancock impersonates Gettysburg.

and excitements of the strife they see more
clearly than other men the value of obedience to
laws and the duty of sacrificing all things for
their country's good. 1t was in this school that
Washington learned the grand duty of laying
down his sword and retiring to privatelife when
the world Thought he would claim crown as
his reward. This act SO constantly referred to
in other lands as well as our own, gave him bis
immortality. ,.-.... ..s..
1t was in the same school, under like infiuen-
ces, that in the hour of victory jackson curbed
and restrained his fiery spirit and submitted to
injustice and indignity because it was imposed
upon him by legal tribunal. 't'aa
"If called to the Presidency should deem
it my duty to resist, with all my power, any
attempt to impair or evade the full force and
effect of the constitution, which, in every or
ticle, section and amendment, is the supreme
law of the land. p Winfield Scott Hancock.
He who has learned to obey rightful author
ity has been taught the great lesson which
fits him to exercise authority. He who rever-
ences the laws of his country Is the right man
to administer them. He who has proved his
devotion to its interests is the one to whom we
can most safely trust the work of guarding and
protecting them. Therefore we placed him in
nomination, and so into this contest with the
firm faith that we shall elevate him to the
position of President of these United States

An Antediluyian Rhinoceros.

German archeologists have been ex-
ceptionally lucky in turning up old
world curiosities as well as relics OF the
prehistoric ages Schleswig-Holsteln only
the other day afforded copious yield OF
antique armor, huge and uncouth weap-
ons of war, and mighty carved drinking
horns; and now we learn from Madge-
burg that the eminent physiologist,
Leo Baltzer, who has for some time past
been carrying on excavations In the
neighborhood of Nordhansen, has just
made highly interesting discovery in
the alluvial stratum of the Steigerthal,
close to the foot of Schellenberg. There
at the depth of about six feet below the
surface of the valley, he came upon the
entire skeleton of an antediluvian
rhinoceros, in an excellent state of pres
ervation. The height of the enormous
beast, when living, must have exceeded
that of the tallest guardsman in our
Household Brigade" and his bulk
could scarcely have been less than that
of the average African elephant The
fore and hind legs, spinal column, ribs,
and collar-bone are perfect Some de.
terioration has accrued to the skull
through the fact that it was several feet
nearer the surface than were the ex-
tremities, and consequently suffered
from the infltration of rain-water. How
ever, the jaws and twenty-eight of the
teeth are quite uninjured. DIR. Baltzer
is at present busily engaged in setting
up the huge skeleton, which he intends,
as soon as his task shall be completed,
to present to the High School of Madge-

A Famous Pennsylvania Orchard.

Solon Robinson has travelled 1000
miles to see a famous Pennsylvania
orchard on the Juniata River in Juniata
County, LA miles from Philadelphia,
near a little station called Thompson.
"There," says Mr.. Robinson, "if the
traveller going west OF the Pennsylvania
Railway will look out south and up the
steep hillside, he will see the main part
of an orchard of 1900 peach trees,
10000 ounce trees, and 1900 Siberian
crab-apple trees. And, if he could stop
and walk and ride through the orchard, as
1 did to-day, and find one dead or
diseased tree, he will find more than
could; although was told by Mr.. Taylor,
the foreman, that he did lose one tree in
the section where we were. And how
many trees are there in this section?'
six thousand If like result can be
found anywhere else on earth, I should
like to be informed, that I might make
another pilgrimage of 1000 miles to see
it, as have to see this, the most healthy,
thrifty, most promising young orchard I
have ever seen in all my extensive
Journeys through the United States and
Canada. Yet most of the land is unfit
for any other cultivation, and a consider
able portion of the ground has never
been plowed, because so steep and SO full
of stones and roots. In this respect it
reminded ME of some of the vineyards of
Pleasant Valley, it being often difficult
to get dirt enough to make good loose
bed for the roots" The orchard is owned
by II. Bradford, a Connecticut River
Yankee. A few years ago the tract con-
tanning 44O acres came into Mr.. Brad
ford's bands, upon the false representa-
ton that it contained valuable veins of
iron ore. He bought it unseen. When
seen, it was found to yield no workable
ore, and only small tract of farm land
with few common farm buildings The
question then was, "What shall do
with it?" That question has been an
swered in the splendid orchard on the
ground. The first section of peach trees
was planted in 1875. and on July 81 of
this year, when Mr.. Robinson visited
the orchard, the first full crop of peaches
was being gathered.
