GENERAL BUTLER AND THE SP0oNs. What purports to be a trustworthy explanation of the manner in which Benjamin F. Butler ac. quired the unhappy fame of a purloiner of silver spoons is given by the Washingtotl'cof- respondent of a western newspaper. A lady went to General Garfield some months ago. and introduced herself as the daughter of Gen. eral David F.. Twiggs, who left our army; when he had gained the rank of major general to join the secessionsts at the opening of the rebellion. Sue stated her object to be the re- covery of her fathers two swords captured by Butler when he entered New Orleans iu the spring et 1862. One sword had been voted to Twiggs by Congress in recognition of his ser vices during the Mexican war; the other was the weapon he had drawn Tn behalf of the 'confederacy." She was particularly anx- tous to secure the latter, because her father had prizedsita above its fellow. Garfield re-f ferred her to Butler, whom she feared to meet on account of the terrible reputation he had gained in the south.s Having been assured that he was not nearly SO black as he had been painted, she sought him out, and, to her sur. prise, was very politely received. He inform ed her that he had sent the swords to Wash ington, with the request that one be given to the Annapolis academy and the other to West Point, as trophies of the civil war. His re- quest was not complied with. They were, instead, locked up in the vaults of the treas
 ury for safe keeping, and one of the duplicate
 keys delivered to him. He then added: You have not, my dear Madam, asked me about your family plate, which have 80 of
 ten been accused of stealing to decorate my own table with. You no doubt, in common with many southerners, think the charge true. l will enlighten you on the subject. As soon as l had occupied your fathers deserted house, one of your colored servants came to me with a load of silver, saying that your father had buried it in the garden to keep it from the hated Yankees; but that as now he had gone the servant, having seen the act, dug it up, and was desirous to hand it over to the proper authorities. I used the silver while had my headquarters at your fathers place; but afterward turned every piece spoons, forks, salvers. and dishes lover to the quartermasters department. Here, Madam, are the vouchers for every article brought me by your cnlored servant" And Butler open. ed his desk aud took out 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. This awin not of course; pres vent most of the southerners aud many of the northeners from swearing that Butler did steal Twiggs's silver and never returned it and never accounted for it. There are falsehoods which DO amount of truth or disproval will or can extinguish; and Butler and the spoons is conspicuous example thereof. --Ne,o York Tunes. ,~,.s.t,..,.s. .'ts.. 2. <

ONE CIVIL SERVICE QUESTION SEFTLED.- Secretary Blaine is reported to have declared recently that it would be the policy of the ad ministration not to keep any one in the foreign service who has already been there eight years Flight years" he said. ''are long enough for any one to hold an office of honor and profit. If we keep men in office during their natural lifetimes, wherewith will we have to reward the younger generation, who light our battles and are the life-blood of our organization3 Men work for reward, and young men are especially ambitious of recog- milton. and, so far as my influence can bring 1t about. the young live men of the party shall receive such recognition under this administra- tion." Curiously enough, says corresp0n. dent of the Chicago Tribune, this declaration was made in respol se to a delegation from North Carolina, who were insisting that Will liam P. Manghm, Consul at Nagasaka, Japan, should he removed.

Lenten sermon at Trinity.

Last night Rev. E. s. Lines, of St. Paul's, preached the third of the series of Lenten sermons at Trinity church, his topic being Christianity in Amusements.' The church was crowded, it being almost impossible to obtain seat on the main floor. The preach CT took as his text part of the 3Ist verse of the 10th chapter of First Corinthians, tsWhatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" After few preliminary remarks. the reverend gen tleman stated that he pro- posed to take the principle of St. Paul as set forth in these words-a principle which sufficiently covered all the grounds-and from that consider the Christians duty in amusements This was far better than en- deavoring to work out a principle of one's own. No one was better calculated than St. Paul to form principle for Christian guid- ance in amusements.
 The desire for amusement is natural to man, and has been implanted in his nature by the Creator. All alike, from the child playing with his tops to the gray haired pa- triarch, have this desire with other natural desires. It has been given to man by his Creator, and should not be stiAed The 1S7A1kstoA Slio uoctlS UT uer children in this direction, but she pleads tn at they may retain their self-mastery and not become the slave of these desires.

It is her duty now in this busy age to turn men to consider recreation in it's right light. The crowding

A Fine Recital.

Mir. William E. Chandler's fourth song re- cital took place in his vocal studio last even ing before large audience. The programme, printed on elegantly illuminated paper, was well interpreted by Mir. Chandler's pupils. Among the yocalists who appeared in these recitals for the first time were the Misses Augur and Vining and Messrs. Jessup and Fields. Miss Augur possesses strong so- prano voice of good timbre and compass. Its good qualities were readily detected in 8 pleasing song by Bischotf. Miss Vining's fine contralto was heard to good advantage in 0 duet with Miss Augur, and in song by Pin suti Messrs. Jessup and Fields gave satis- factory rendering of two fine baritone songs. Mir. Howarth in the song entitled 'sMine," and MT. Mills in the ''tMan-o-war's- man," showed marked improvement over former efforts. Miss Whipple sang with considerable degree of expres- sion fine selection with piano and organ ac- compartment. Miss c. A. Hall in Warrens T love my love' displayed beautiful so- prano voice of marked sweetness, power and compass. Her singing received much praise. Miss Hughes is always pleasing and at once secures the attention of her audience. Her singing of Blumenthaps ''So the folks say'' was charming and heartily enjoyed. The several well rendered duets, trios and quar- tettes added much to the evenings enjoy ment. Particularly worthy of mention were the two violin solos played by MT. Kellogg with much feeling, combined with purity of tone and smoothness of execution. The next recital will be in April.
