GENERAL BUTLER AND "OLD Whitley"
1t is said that General BUTLER has de-
clnred since the late election, 81 have done
with politics, and intend never 10 enter
the arena of political life again. The law
yer general repeated this determination, it
is remarked, in the capitol when some one
said to him, why general, did not know
that you had gotten up and out from UNI
der, since democrats and republicans alike
sat down upon you, so as really to know
what you would do in the future.' The
gentlcmans remarks remind us of an incl
dent related of General BUTLER's "Old
Whitley" who would not place himself in
falling position, however great the pres
sure. A gentleman from the north was
called on business to City Point, where
"Old Whitley" has been taken for safe keep
ing. A party of gentlemen at that place
determined upon giving their guest an
equestrian ramble, and assigned General
BuTLER's fayorte TO his service. APP
preaching spot that to the rider appeared
to he firm ground and perfectly safe, "old
Whitley" stopped, and no persuasion or
badgcring could induce him to go forward.
The other members of the party, more ac-
customed to the country, approached their
stalled friend and informed him that the
ground that appeared so firm and safe was
in truth very dangerous, aud that had they
gone forward both rider and horse would
have been submerged in soft mud. The
sequel seems TO teach that "Old Whitley" is
more sagacious than General BENJAMIN j..
BUTLER, his owner.

THE case Of Miss PALMER, who recovered
in n New York court $500 damages from
her landlord because of injuries received
from falling over u defective .oil-cloth,
seems unusual. 1t was q case of covenant,
however The landlord agreed to furnish
the house with carpets and oil-cloths, and
TO keep them in order The accident to
Miss PALMER occurred after the landlord
had received notice that the oil-cloth was
out Of order. A few similar decisions
would make landlords little more prompt
in their responses TO the complaints of ten
ants. We see no reason why damages
should not be paid tenant who is made i'll

Baruum's Only ana Greatest show
on Earth.

Barnum is coming with his greatest show
on earth, and will spread his immense area OF
canvas on Thursday, October eth. His show
for 1880 is larger and better than ever, and
has been universally endorsed by press
public wherever it has appeared, as witness
the following from tho New York World Of
April 9th: 1.-THE opening of p. 4. Barnum's
Greatest Show on Earth in the American
Institute building yesterday afternoon, drew
together crowd of spectators which COM
pletely filled the large space set apart as the
smphitheatre. The entertainment furnished
was all that the programme promised, and
the p irons of the veteran Snowman enjoyed
three hours of genuine amusement seasoned
with copious doses Of moral instruction
Around the amphitheatre the cages of the
animals are arranged. This department is
probably the most complete of any that
was ever on exhibition in this country,
if not in the world. The troop of ee
plants includes nine specimens, ranging in
size from the monster that can destroy viii
lagos 10 the small baby. There are six cam
els, two rhinoeeroses, and the largest ippo-
potamus that was ever brought ~ America,
with the usual assortment of lions, tigers, a
fine living giraffe and the animals common
to mensgeries. The museum consists of
thousands of curiosiiies aud automatic figures
and groups, which pound drums, pl~y on
pianos and flutes, and perform variety of
antics, to the delight snd wonderment of all
spectators, and particularly. of the children.
The living curiosities which, in addition to
forming part of the museum, are introduced
during the ring performance, are Captain
Constentenus, a Greek, whose whole body is
covered with tattooed pictures; Colonel
Goshen, the Palestine giant, feet II inches
high; some native z lu chiefs, and Queen
Nab, a living dwarf, IL years of age. The
ring performance includes novel fests
never before exhibited in this country" On
the day of exhibition ticket Office will be
opened at Connor's drug store, where those
who wish to avoid the crowds at the ticket
