EUTLER AND CHALMERS.

Less than twenty years ago b. f.
Butler, OF Massachusetts,, was in COM
mand of the Federal troops at New
Orleans, and made his presence so
odious to the inhabitants, who were
almost without exception in sympathy
with the Confederacy, that they unani-
mously designated Butler as the Beast.
This name followed him North at the
close OF the war, where he was very
generally called Beast Butler" for
wears afterwards. At the same time
that Butler acquired the appellation of
the Beast" James r. Chalmers, a
Confederate officer, became known as
4Fort Pillow Chalmers, because of the
savage butchery perpetrated at that
place by his orders, or, at least, with
CHS sanction. Opposing politicians on
the stump, when DESTROYS of infaming
the minds of their hearers, referred to
Butler and Chalmers as monsters-the
personification of all that was bad in
the Republican and Democratic parties,
respectively.
But time works changes in politics as
an everything else, and now Butcher
Chalmers, who has been elected to
Congress from Mississippi by Repub-
lican votes, sends a congratulatory dis
patch to Beast Butler, whe has been
elected Governor of Massachusetts by
Democratic votes. The people argue,
fall out, quarrel, and sometimes fight
about political affairs, while recognized
leaders like Butler and Chalmers
change their politics, as the chameleon
does its colors, to SUIT the surround
ings, and always manage to get their
share of the honors and profits. A few
years ago, Butler was one of the most
radical Republicans in Congress; and,
only two years ago, it was claimed that
Chalmers had been elected by the Dem
ocrats. The Republicans gave Butler
the cold shoulder, and the Democrats
in Congress last Summer declined to
filibuster to prevent Chalmers from
being unseated. The Beast gradually
became a Democrat. and the Butcher
with one bound cleared the distance
between an unreconstruetcd rebel, un.
seated in the House Of Representatives
by the Republican majority, and
Stalwart Republican who had the in
fnence of the Administration at his
back, and part of "Dear Hubbell's"
assessments in his pockets in his can
vass for Representative to Congress
this Fall, in what is called the "shoe
string" district of Mississippi. There
are principles involved in politics at
times, but no candid person, who is
conversant with the history of parties
for dozen years past, will dispute that
humbuggery and spells comprise at all
times the greater part of the ordinary
politicians stock in trade.

The following statement of William
j.. Coughlin, of Somerville, Mass, is so
remarkable that we beg to ask for it
the attention of our readers. He says:
SIN the fall of 1876 1 was taken with
a violent bleeding of the lungs, followed
by a severe cough. l soon began to
lose my appetite and flesh. l vas so
weak at one time that l could not leave
my bed. In the summer of 1877 l vas
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said / had a hole in
my left lung as big as a half dollar. L
doctors and medicines. l was SO far
gone at one time q report went around
that l was dead. / gave up hope, but
a friend told me of DR.. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. 1 laughed at
my friends, thinking that my case vas
incurable, but L got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise and gratii-
cation, l commenced to feel better.
Ny hope, once dead, began TO revive,
and to-day l feel in better spirits than
| have the past three years.
. ~ write this hoping you will publish
it, so that every one afflicted with Dis
eased Lungs will be induced to take
DIR. VIM. HALLS Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption
can be cured. l have taken two bot.
ties, and an positively say that it has
done more good than all the Other
medicines l have taken since my sick
ness. My cough has almost entirely
disappeared, and L shall soon be able tC
go to work" Sold by druggists.

Old Lovers.

Several years before the war a young
man came to Little Rock and fell des-
perately in love with a young lady.
The girls parents were rich. Tho
young man was poor. Aunion was i'm
possible. The girl prayed and the
young man implored, but the ruthless
parents remained firm. The young
man went away. The war came on,
The parents of the girl died. Her I'M
Gle squandered the estate. The other
day the lover came back and inquired
for the young lady. Age and poverty
had visited her, but she had remained
true. They met and embraced.
"You were away so long" she said,
leaning her tired head on his shoulder.
l"But you won't leave me any more.
Those who kept us apart are sleeping
now"
al will never leave my brave darling.
l have been trying for years to see
you"
But they did not marry. The man
got her to wash SIX shirts for him, and
ran away without paying the bill.-Lb-

A goo many people spend all their
life hunting for the place in this world
which they were intended to fill. They
never settle down to anything with any
sort of restful and contented feeling.
What they are doing now is not by any
means the work that is suited to their
abilities. They have a sunny idea of a
very noble life which they would like to
reach, in which their powers would find
free scope and where they could make
a very bright subject. But in their
present position they cannot be much Of
anything, and there is little use to try.
Their life is a humdrum and prosy rou-
tine, and they can accomplish nothing
really worthy and beautiful. So they
go on ~discontented with their own lot
and signing for another; and while they
sigh the years glide away, and soon
they will come TO an end. TO find they
have missed every opportunity of doing
anything worthy of an immortal being
in the passage to eternity. The truth
is, ones vocation is never some far-off
possibility. 1t is always the same SIM
pie round of duties that the passing
hour brings. No day is commonplace
If we only had eyes to see its s~plendor.
There is no duty that comes to our
HAND but that brings to us the POSSIBLE
ity of kingly service.

The Colorod Element and Esthetio Lunaoy.

The Colored Element and aesthetic Lunacy.
The president of the Lime Kiln Club
stated that lie had been asked on sever
al different occasions. if the aesthetic
lunacy had yisibly affected the colored
people of the North. His own personal
observation had nut furnished any evil
dence in the affirmative, but he would
like to hear members express them
selves
Kyhavgn johnson said that a neigh
Dor of his had run all over town TO pur-
chase q secondhand bedstcad and that
she had finally secured one twenty
three years old; but he thought from the
hot-water treatment given it that she
did not prize the relic.
Trustee Pu.lback knew OF a case
where n colored man had paid seven
dollars for a coat supposed 10 be TWEEN
ty-eight years old; but it afterward
came N that he expected to find money
in the lining.
Elder Toots said that his third wife
had evinced n desire to pay seventy-fivel
cent for an old earthen platter that
had come over in the Mayflower; but,
when informed hat if she did she
would 90 without shoes all winter, she
had said no more on the subject.
As far rs could be as~certained from
the best posted members, the colored
