Dynamite as a Social Influence.
New York Herald.

One of the steady annoyances of
persons who give suppers, balls and
parties is the inability to have peo-
pie depart at the proper time. Some
insist upon going very early, so that
the host or hostess is kept in fever
of unrest while trying to greet the
late corners and bid goodbye to the
early goers al the same time; others
linger so long that the lady of the
house has several opportunities to
doze before her parlors are cleared.
The experience of Mr.. Clifford last
Saturday night, at his home at One
Hundred and Tenth street and Riv-
erside avenue, suggests way out OF
all this trouble. While Mr.. Clifford
was entertaining some friends there
was sudden explosion, apparently
of dynamite, and such of the guests
as We're not taken to the hospital
went home with great alacrity. AS
a.general dispenser the explosion
was a success, although the hour
half-past 8 P. M.-was rather earlier
than is generally desirable in such
cases. Probably, however, if the dy-
Mantle plan were generally adopted
there would be no trouble about cut
ting fuses to such lengths as might
be desired, SO that an hour or frac-
ton of an hour can be accurately es-
timated so that the explosion would
come in on time. A dynamite dis
perser to be fired just after supper
would have good moral effect at
public masked balls next winter.

BEN BUFFERS VOW
WHY HE WOULD NOT ACT AS COUNCIL
FOR GUITEAU.

FOR GUITEAU.
Sioux City Journal.
Gen. Benjamin F. Butler has de-
clined to act for Guiteau, notwith-
standing the urgent appeal Of his
relatives. 1t is not generally known
that Gen. Butler some years ago
made vow never to enter GRIMM
al court again as council for a pris-
oner under criminal indictment.
The reason he assigns for such ac-
ton carries with it quite history.
1t appears that during his second
term in congress one Of his bench
men--and q faithful friend--who
was sheriff of one Of the counties in
his congressional district, received a
telegraphic dispatch from the sher-
if Of an adjoining county, asking
him to arrest prisoner who had es-
capped from his custody and was on
an incoming train. On the arrival
OF the train in question the culprit
was arrested, and the sheriff locked
him up pro tenn in the railroad de-
pot, from which he subsequently es-
capped. Pursued by the sheriff, the
prisoner halted at the bank of a
creek, produced a pistol, and threat
ened his pursuer with death should
he advance one step further. The
courageous sheriff, though unarmed,
did not hesitate in the discharge of
his duty, and met his death in con-
sequence. The man was hunted
down and in a short time safely
lodged in Jail. Then came the fun
eral of his victim, at which Gen.
Butler, next to the widow and father
less, acted as chief mourncr. "Some
six months after this says Gen.
Butler, II was in the criminal court,
when the prisoner before mentioned
was arraigned for trial. In answer
to the presiding judge he represent
ed himself as being without counsel,
and requested that should be MS
signed to defend him, which was
granted. pleaded all sorts of ex-
cuses, but in the state of Massachu-
sets similar request from a prison.
er on trial for his life never passes
unheeded, and | was compelled to
act rs defender of the very man
who had SO cruelty deprived one of
my best friends Of his life. Once
assigned said he, 81 forgot every
thing but my official oath as an at
torney, and succeeded so well for my
client that in the end he was con-
victed of a minor degree of man.
slaughter, entailing only a few years
incarceration in Jail. Then came
the hue and cry of my political ene-
mics. This is the man. they said,
who escorts the widow to the grave
at the funeral Of his faithful bench
man, weeps crocodile tears, and then
defends the assassin and assists him
in defeating the ends ofjustice."
"At the next election" said Gen.
Butler, II did not get even one vote
in that district, though heretofore
they had been unanimously cast in
my interest. Can you then wonder
at my registering a vow never to en-
ter a criminal court again."

yesterday, and It was quite while before the sc.
cret of his happiness was discovered, and then only
by accident, as the following will prove: He
stopped at Amans, on Ninth street, to solicit an
advertisement, which he has been after for some
time, judging from the number of times the writer
has met him there, and, calling for some cigars, he
pulled out of his pocket what he supposed was II
silver dollar 10 pay the bill. Instead of being
silver dollar II proved to be perfect little gem of
n chatelaine watch, stem setter and stem windcr,
worth slS, which he found in q can of coffee pur-
chased from the Importers Tea Company, $40
