Was Received.
ST. Louis Republican.
General Butler has received severe blow
in the death of his son, Benjamin, and those
who have met him since his bereavement
say that his tense and rugged nature has
been relaxed and bis robust temper much
meIlowed. He had expected to introduce
his boy into practice AZ the Boston
bar this fall, and ~ have shaped his
future so that he could in time como into
the large and lucrative law business which
his father has built up. The General ex'
pected that his son would keep alive the
name Of Ben Butler and would keep in exist
ence the place os THAI name in the legel pro-
fessien. These hopes have Nil been dashed
TO earth. After an ilneis OF ten days, in
which the kidney disease which seized Lient.
Butler made curiously ewift progress, the
young man died at Bay View, his fathers
country seat. General Butler was absent Ia
his yasht America, an no came sailing up
TO the wharfa at the edge OF hls grounds the
day OF his boys death. The yacht, which
had peon retlILed, had behaved aplendidly

What, he said, In sstonishment

his-.friends did not answer, and ss he
looked from one 10 another, he saw by thoiI
solemn faces shat something had happened
He seemed puzzled. Tor no had left his ron
in good health, though delicate, but as If by

No one dared to tell him that his iavori,t
son was corpse, Mr.. McDavt, took his arm
and said, Don't DO alarmed, general. The
shock seemed ~ shake the old man like ,
blow from strong battery. lie did not say
n word but walked into the house and took d
seat by hi, dead boy and sat for ssmo time
holding his hfeless hand. lie seemed
to find no expression for his
grief in tears, and bore his pair
silence. Tho sight of the old general stand
