THE TRUE STORY OF "1HE
SPOONS"

HOW GENERAL BUTLER ACQUIRED THE
THE sILvRR-wHAT HE DID WITH
THE PLATE"
What purports to be trustworthy
explanation of the manner in which
Benjamin F. Butler acquired the un-
happy fame of purloiner of silver
spoons is given by the Washington
correspondent ola Western newspaper.
A lady went to Gen. Garfield some
months ago and introduced herself as
as the daughter of Gen. David L.
Twiggs, who left our army, where he
had gained the rank OF major general,
to join the secessionists at the opening
of the rebellion. She stated her object
to be the recovery of her fathers two
swords captured by Butler when he en-
tered New Orleans in the spring of
1862. One sword had been voted to
Twiggs by Congress in recognition of
his services during the Mexican war (;
the other was the weapon he had drawn
in behalf OF The "Confederaoy." She
was particularly anxious 10 secure the
latter, because her father had priced it
far above its fellow. Garfield referred
her to Butler, whom she feared to meet
on account of the terrible reputation
he had gained in the South. Having
been assured that he was not nearly SO
black as he had been painted, she
sought him out, and, to her surprise,
was very politely received. He in-
+ rmed her that he had sent the swords
to Washington, with the request that
one be given TO the Annapolis Acade-
my and the other TO West Point as
trophies of the civil war. His request
was not complied with. They were,
instead, locked up in the vaults of the
treasury for safekeeping and one of
the duplicate keys was delivered to
him.
he then added: "You have not, my
dear Madam. asked me about your fami-
ly plate, which / have 80 oft N been
accused of stealing to decorate my own
table with You, no doubt, in common
with many Southerners, think the
charge true. l will eblghten you on
the subject. As soon as had occupied
your fether's deserted house one of your
colored servants came to me with load
OF silver, saying that your father had
buried it in the garden TO keep 1t from
this hated Yankee; but that as now he
had gone the servant, having seen the
act. dug 1t up, and was DESTROYS TO hand
IL over 10 the proper authorities. l used
the silver while bad my headquarters
at your fathers place, but afterward 1
turned every piece-spoons. forks, sal
vers and dishes-over to the quarter.
masters department. Here, NJ adam, are
the vouchers for every article brought
me by your colored servant" And |
Butler opened his desk and took ont a
neatly arranged packet OF papers, each |
of which was regularly and formally |
signed and credited, relieving Butler |
from all responsibility in the much -vexed |
matter.

IN society slang the rage just now
is for nicknames for well.khown la
dies. Three ladies of title in Eng
land-a duchess, a countess, and a
viscountess have been respectively
dubbed the "World," the "Flesh !"
and the "Devil," and the same til
ties are applied to three ladies well
known in Newport. " Battle, "
Murder" and "Sudden Death" are
names given to three beautiful sis
tiers, now all married, but who, a
few years since, were Staying their
thousands and their tens of thou
sands by the potency of their
charms. The eldest, who was, per.
haps, the least attractive of the
three, was supposed to do battle
with her adorers, and, in fair COM
bat,to give them chance of escape,
although generally coming off vic
toriUus; the second to destroy them
single-handed, in cold blood; and
the third, whose beauty was quite ir-
reslstible, to bring her victims down
with swift and sudden shots.

THE FASHIONS.

Foulards with figures in gay colors
are imported for polonaises to be worn
with black lveJ skirts.
bonuets were shown at late millinery
opening; so there is variety enough
to suit all tastes.
Small waists are no longer fashiona-
BILE and tight lacing is frowned down
by sensible women. The undertakers
will not like this.
White seems to have become the
livery of the drawing room, or at least
of the elegant private bathroom.
Naturally the white sometimes alter
mates with black OF color, but in ex>
elusive assemblies handsome white
toilets always predominate. The near
est equivalent TO white satin or bro
cade for ball or evening dress is pale
pink satin trimmed with white lace,
Longuedoc or Mechlin, and garlanded
with pink and red roses, which are
now often arranged as an order and
carried to the side of the skirt, where
a loose bunch fastens the drapery.
Among the newest styles in dresses
is one of navy-blue cloth, with the
skiet covered with platings, cut out in
points, and SO arranged as to show
only half of each point when the plaits
are made. Five of these fiounces are
placed one above the other. Falling
below each lie a narrow red surah trim
ming. In the back is kind of blue
cloth puff. The small habit Hongris
crosses over the breast in bias and
lined with red surah Falling over the

of the putting 10 the back is a large red
surah bow. The grey plusby felt hat
worn with this snit is trimmed with
red feathers.

From Mr.. C. r. Swett. gentleman

that the project for grand success
is quite propitious. He informs us
that the drill has thus far gono

been encountered at depth of l, ,410
feet. There are no Indications of gas
at the present time, vet there is
scarcely doubt but that when u SAID

How to Rule the Boys.

sunday School Times.
Get hold of the boys heart. Yonder
locomotive with its laundering train
comes like a whirlwind down the track.
and a regiment of armed men might
seek to stop it in vain. 1t would crush
them and pass unheeding on. But
there is a little lever in its mechanism
that, at the pressure of Il mans hand,
will slacken its speed, and in a mo-
ment or two, bring it painting and still.
like a whipped spaniel at your feet. BY
the same little lever the vast steam
ship is guided hither and yon, upon the
sea, in spite of adverse wind or cur
rent. That sensitive and responsive
spot by which a boys life is controlled,
is his heart. With your grasp gentle
and firm on that helm, you may pilot
him whittier you will. Never doubt
that he has a heart. Bad and wilful
boys very often have the tenderest
heart hidden away somewhere beneath
lncrustations of sin or behind barri-
cades of pride. And it is your bust
ness to get at that heart, get hold OF
that heart, keep hold of it by sympa-
thy, conliding in him, manifestly work.
ing for his good, by little indirect
kindnesses to his mother or sister, or
even his pet dog. See him at his home,
or invite him into yours. Provide
him some little pleasure, set him to
some little service of trust for you;
love him love him practically. Any
way and every way rule him through
his heart.

Courtesy at Home.

While it is comparatively easy to be
courteous towards strangers, or towards
people of distinction whom one meets
in society or on public occasions, still it
should be remembered that it is at
home in the family and among kindred,
that an everyday politeness of man
ners is really most to be priced. There
it confers substantial benefits and
brings sweetest returns. The little at
tentions which members Of the same
household may show to II another
day by day, belong in fact to what is
styled good breed" There cannot be
any ingrained %gentility which does not
exhibit itself first at home. There, of
all places in the world, it will be able
to demonstrate how much genuine
politeness there is in the heart. A well
ordered family cannot afford to dis
pense with the observance of good
rules of natural intercourse, which are
enforced in good society. a churlish,
sour, morose department at home is
simply cruel, for it cuts into the ten
derest sensibilities and hurts love just
where love is strongest and most loyal.
Parents and children, brothers and Sis
tiers, husbands and wives. never lose

a Popular Error Corrected.

Boston Herald.
The common belief in this country
that everyone in Germany is compelled
at some time in life to serve in the
army is wholly erroneous. The ut
most care is taken in excluding unde-
Sirable young men from the annual
draft, and if a German youth is in any
way defective in his physical construc-
ton, or is distinctly bad in his morals,
his name is not allowed to go into the
drawings. For this reason young men
who are not, or have not been in the
army, lose caste, for it is held that there
were physical or mental reasons for the
exception; in other words, that they
are not as nearly perfect as they should
be. 1t is in consequence of this Odium
which attaches to non-service that
young men of the better class always
volunteer, without waiting to be called
upon. Once in the army, the utmost
care is taken to regulate the morals of
the men, no less than preserve their
health. Violations that would be
laughed at in the military service of
other countries, are there severely pun
ished. If a reform cannot be effected,
the soldier is dismissed, and in this
case there is nothing for him to do but
to quit the country, for the social effect
of this punishment is as great in Ger
many as it is in America to have bee
sent to the state prison.

Fretting.
Helen Hunt.

Helen Hunt.
There is one sin which seems to me
is everywhere and by everybody under
estimated, and quite too much over
looked in valuations of character. 1t
is the sin of fretting. 1t is us common
us air, as speech. SO common that un-
less it rises above its usual monotone
we do not even observe it. Watch an
ordinary coming together Of people
and see how many minutes it will be
before somebody frets-that is, making
a more or less complaining statement
of somebody or other, which, most
probably, every N in the room, or the
stage, or the street-car, or the street
corner, as it may be, knew before, and
which, most probably, no body can
help. Why say anything about it? 1t
is cold, it is wet, it is dry; somebody
has broken an appointment, ill-cooked
a meal; stupidity or bad faith
where has resulted in discomfort.
There are always plenty Of things to
fret about. 1t is simply astonishing
how annoyance and discomfort may be
found in the course of every days
living, even at the simplest if n only
keeps a sharp eye out on that side of
things. But ever to the sparks flying
upward, in the blacklist Of smoke,
there is a blue sky above, and the less
time they waste on the road the sooner
they will reach it.
