Ben Butler in Richmond.

Gen. Butler, who has been arguing rail-
road case for the Malone interest at Rich
mond, this week, was attacked by counsel,
as not consistent defender Of the rights of
Virginia. He replied: My learned friend
cannot remember that, almost before he
was born, and for more than IS years of my
manhood until after the year 1860, Virginia
had no stauncher defender of it's rights than
I. Everywhere, upon every forum, OH every
occasion, almost to my social 'ostracispl,
where he and differed, did stand by Vir-
ginia for state rights and the rights of Viz
ginia under the constitution; and suffered
social ostracism in 1860 for it. But when
Virginia broke her constitutional obligations
she released me and everybody else, and I
did the very best could to take care of her
i'll what l believed her wrong course. AS 1
am now ready to preserve her rights when
ever she is right, she will find me on her
side; whenever she is wrong, on the other
side. AS q lawyer. however, I shouldde-
fend her if thought she was wrong if nv
retainer led in that direction That is nv

is SO clearly in the right as not to need any

CuriOSitieS Of the Voice.

DIR. Delaney, in paper read recently
before the French Academy Of Medi-
cine, gives some details on the history and
limits Of the human voice, which he obtain
ed after the most patient research. Accord
ing to the doctor, the primitive inhabitants
of Europe were all tenors, their descendants
OF the present day are baritones, and their
grandsons will have semi bass voices Look
ing at different races, he calls attention to
the fact that the inferior races, such as the
negroes, &C., have higher voices than white
men. The voice has also tendency to
deepen with age-the tenor of sixteen
becoming the baritone at twenty-five, and
bass at thirty-ive. Fair complexioned
people have higher voices than the dark
skinned, the former being usually sopranos
or tenors, the latter contraltos or basses
Tenors, says the doctor, are slenderly built
and thin; basses are suoutly made and cor
pulent. This may be so, as a rule, but one
is inclined to think there are more except
tons to it than are necessary to prove the
rule. The same remark applies to the as
sertion that thoughtful, intelligent men
have always a deep toned voice; whereas
trif1ers and frivolous persons have soft,
weak voices. The tones Of the voice are
perceptibly higher, he points out, before
than after meal, which is the reason why
tenors dine early, in order that the voice
may notsuHer. The south, says the doctor,
furnishes the tenors, the north the basses
in proof of which he adds that the majority
OF French tenors in vogue come from the
south of France while the basses belong to
the north department..

SINCE the taking OF the last census fire.
auent references have been made as to the
remarkable fulillment Of the predictions
made by one Elkanah Watson in 1915, in
regard to the increase Of the population of
the United States during the decades from
1920 to 1900. His announcement for 1920
was total population for the United States
of 1925 900, which was about 1000 in ex-
cess of the census returns He was little
behind in his figures for 1880, which were
1888, 900, against IL, $4,000. In 1910 he
was trihe ahead again, the actual popula-
ton being II, 069, 900, while he had estimat-
ed it at 17,166,OO0. Regarding 1850, he
came close to the facts. His figures were
%, 1S5, 900, and those of the census %, 101,-
600. He was about as accurate regarding
1860, though little ahead of TRUTH esti-
mating population Of 31,753,OOO, against
81 $4,000. -Four years of war made his
calculations for 1870 100000 ahead of the
reality, and affected those for 1880 to a total
of between 100000 and 5,0OO,00 since
we have now population of a little over
$4,000 900 instead of 100000, as he an
ticipated. The continuance of peace and
the heavy immigration which has set in are
likely to cure this overestimate by 1890, OF
at least by 1900, for which latter year he
announced population of 100, 900, 900.

the scene of the accident, but it did not reach

OLD MOTHER SYMPTOMS prophecy, "the
world to an end shall come in 1881, ," has
scared some people almost to insanity and
death. A young woman in Ohio read it in
q village paper, and became very much de-
pressed. Shortly afterwards she was con-
verified at a protracted meeting, and became
q jealous worker. Every night her shouts
Of JOY commenced early, and continued for
hours, during which she walked the aisles
of the church imploring her hearers to be-
ware of the coming events of this year.
She became monomaniac upon the ques-
ton, and insisted that she had had vision
since her conversion, in which it was plain
ly shown to her that the prophecy Of Moth
er Shipton would surely come to pass. The
earnestness with which she exhorted her
hearers upon the question succeeded in
carrying conviction to the hearts of many,
and no less than twenty more converts were
gained and added to the rolls Of the church.
The minister was placed in peculiar posi-
ton, but concluded to profit by her strange
hallucination, and receive her foundlings
into the fold. The meetings have closed,
but the girl still persists in her belief, and
day in and day out continues to sob and
moan with sorrow for the unsaved that will
surely meet their doom before the present
year expires.

CAPT. CowDoN, of river fame, has been
advocating his outlet theory of the Missis-
sippi before the commerce committee Of the
United States senate. His plan consists,
principally, of the opening of an outlet
from the river below New Orleans, into
Lake Borgue, five and a half miles distant,
the surface OF the lake being fourteen feet
lower than the high water surface at New
Orleans. The purpose is to lower the riv-
er's surface at New Orleans twelve or four
teen feet. This, it is claimed, will acceler-
ate the velocity Of the current in the rivers
channel above and below the outlet, and
keep the water in the channel. The chan
mel itself will be secured out and deepened
from Cairo to the gulf. The whole of the
vast volume of water that now overspreads
the low lands and lakes will be drawn down
and through the deepened. channel, by the
current within it. 1t lis proposed that $3.50, :
900 Of the 81, 000, 900 asked for by the river
commission shall be appliedto testing Capt.
Cowdon's plan, which, he says, lis like that
of another sort of salvation, too simple
to be understood and cost too little to be
popular

FOREIGN FLASHES.

Canadian immigration agent testified be-
fore the parliamentary commission that he had
received eighty acres of land each for all the
settlers he had taken to the Northwest, and that
he had taken 5, 900 persons to Manitoba. He
also complained that the railway companies gave
larger percentage on tickets to Minnesota than
to that province.
A Dublin correspondent to the London Times
says: Signs of disunion and weakness in the
land league are becoming more numerous I'M
der the continuous actions of the government
Many treasurers and secretaries of local branch
leagues have resigned and favor emigration.
The payment of rent is becoming general even
in the most disturbed districts, and there is no
difficulty in serving writs. The removal of the
league funds to foreign coentry is regarded
by the tenants with suspicion, and the alarm of
the leaders who talked SO bravely when they in
Cured no risk, also helped shake the confluence
in the league. There are nnmistakable signs
that the league is being rapidly disintegrated,
and If improvement continues at the present
rate, the return to at least semblance of tran
qualities will soon be general.
The British have met with a serious disaster
in South Africa. A telegram from London says:
''Gen. Colley, with twenty-five officers and 627
men, infantry and naval brigade, proceeded
Saturday night to occupy Majolta mountain.
The Beers attacked him at z Sunday morning.
At p. M the firing increased. At 2:2O it be-
came evident from the camp that we had lost
the hill, and our men were retiring under heavy
fire. There is no doubt Gen. Colley is killed.
Gen. Wood telegraphs corroborating the above,
and says he will retire to New Castle on Mon
day. A later telegram from Colley's camp says
all the wounded coming in agree in reporting
that Gen. Colley has been killed, and only 100
British escaped. The Beers charged up the
hill four times, and were about retreating when
the British were forced to retire, because am
munition had not been taken to the extreme

er, but was afterwards released. He says the

failure of ammunition. General Colley
over estimated the strength of his position and
left the most vital parts, which the Beers at

JOHN W. YOUNG'S WIVES.

The Story of His Philadelphia Marriage
Both Himself and His Wife Previously
Married.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The arrest in Denver, Col, recently, by
United States Marshal Charles III. Hawley,
of John W. Young, son of the Mormon
prophet Brigham Young, at the instance Of
Mrs. Elizabeth Young, nee "Libbie" Can
field, of Philadelphia, for bigamy, revives
the rather romantic marriage of Young to
his Philadelphia wife. About the latter
part of 1866 John W. Young was in this
city ostensibly on business for the Mormon
community, but in reality with an eye to
private speculation. Being man Of genial
and entertaining presence, and not at all
bad-looking, and, besides, having made
number of strong friends who were willing
to show him every possible courtesy during
his stay in the Quaker City, he readily OBJ
tanned an introduction to Miss Libbie Can
field, daughter of Mr.. Garfield, of the
Garfield Manufacturing Company, at that
time doing business at Seventh and Cherry
streets. Young had previously met the
young lady, and was somewhat smitten
with her acknowledged beauty and charm
ing manners, and, upon being presented to
her, Immediately began the siege which
finally eliminated in Miss Libbie's capitula-
ton. They were married in 1867, notwith-
standing the fact that at that time the
young lady had husband living in this
city, from whom she had never been d.
vorced, and Young was in a similar plight,
or worse, for he had two wives awaiting his
return to his harem in Utah. The marriage
between Young and Miss Garfield, howev-
er. was the result of pure love, for it is said
that he exhibited toward her more affection
and tenderness than he did to any one or
all OF his other wives combined 1t is fur
Their stated that when Young was welded to
his Philadelphia bride she was fully aware
that he was already doubly incumbered, but
that she overlooked this trihing matter when
her husband explained that the other two
were merely nominal wives forced upon
him by the laws of the Mormon Church at
the dictation of the prophet Brigham senior
However, that may be, Young and his Phil
adelphia bride went to Salt Lake City and
there led life of domestic bliss which
brought forth fruit in the form of three
children Nothing occurred to mar their
uniform felicity until 1878, when Young
suddenly took unto himself fourth wife
in the person of Luella Cobb, which caused
an unlocked for disruption in his previous
ly we'll regulated household. Prayers and
entreaties proved of no avail. Mrs. Young,
OF Philadelphia, who had always been the
recognized favorite, would submit to no
such unsurpation of her rights, and accord
ingly packed her trunks, and taking her
three children with her, returned to Phila-
delphia. Young has given bond for his APP
pearance in the sum Of $4,000 but the tele-
graphed statement as to his having broken
pledge never to practice polygamy is
laughed at by Philadelphians fully convers-
ant with all the facts connected with his
marriage in this city.

The British War in South Africa

The war with the Beers is a legacy of the
Disraeli administration In 1852 Great
Britain recognized the independence of the
Transvaal Republic, while in 1877 Sir T.
Shepstone, Governor of Natal, without
shadow of pretense proclaimed that the re-
public had ceased to exist and this impu-
dent assumption was confirmed by the home
government The sense of the injustice of
their cause has been manifested by the
British authorities in sending word to the
Beers that if they will lay down their arms
government for them. The offer came too
late, and is absurd under the present crisis.
