How Butler Muzzled His Dog. .ill
Boston Traveller.


Years ago, when be was citizen of
Lowell, Gen. Butler owned a most mag
nifcent Newfoundland deg that used
each afternoon to stalk behind him in
slow and stately fashion on long walk.
So handsome was he that be attracted q
great deal OF attention, and particularly
that OF the police. for he was unmuzzi ed
though it came to be August. A month
later the statutes declared "All dogs
should wear q muzzle." Several times
was the General notified of this fact, and
at last he was summoned 10 City Hall
and fined $40 "for violation of she dog
law"
The Bext afternoon every one was on
the Gui vive 10 see the General and bis
dog, for the story had spread and all
we're amused. AT the usual time they
appeared The General appeared quite
ohfivious-there may have been q slight
twinkle of his eye, that cannot swear
to; 6ut the dog seemed very much anus
ed by the fact that be was swinging be-
hind him, on his great bushy tail, fine
new mrzzle.
The statute read, ''Should wear muz.
zle," but whether on nose, tail or paw,
1t did not specify.

LorrA,s LoNooN DEBUT.


The cockncys Make Hostile eDcmonsirations
Against "thc sweet Eye-and-Bye."
LONDON Dec. 22.-Lotta made her London
debut tonight ut the Theater Comique in
"Musette." The house was crowded and
many prominent people were among the
audience IL soon became evident, however,
that there were n number OF persons present
who had been organized TO make hostile
demonstration, and 10 makc.the debutahIes
success impossible. The hostile claquers
were iudicioasIy distributed in different
parts Of the house, and we're especially
strong in the gallery and the gods, ever
ready for mischief, joined In The chatting OF
the actors. and unconsciousiy abetted their
enemies. The row began when Lotta and
Mr.. Howard (from Wallack's Theater. New
York;, essayed the duet, The Sweet Bye
and Bye which the average cockneY knows
only as a Moody and Sankey hymn. This
provoked storm OF yells from the galleries,
and although the occupants OF the stalls and
pits cheercd. and did their best 10 sustain
the singers, the gallery outdid the rest Of
the house III noise. and cries OF Throw
them outn etc. Lotta bravely perseyered
with her part for time, bu; in the end was
fairly frightened Off the stage by the brutal
menaccs, aud retired, exclaiming. ~ do not
understand this, Fentlemen A few min
utes later, when Arthur Dacre appeared ON
the stage. he was greeted with the cry,
w here's Iyour missus?' and other taunts,
which Lad evidently been pre-asranged,
with reference to his recent unsuccessful
effort 10 obtain divorce from his wife.
The play was continued until the end in
spite OF the occasional disturbances. aud
Lotta was frequently recalled and gener-
ously applauded by the lower part of the
house. Many handsome bouquets were sent
to the stage, and among the tioral offerings
was "Musette" bonnet composed OF real
violets and lilies of the valley The general
opinion after the performance was that
Lotta's style, though almost unknown to
the English stage, is artistic aud highly
amusing. but that ''Musette" is not a play
that will ever he acceptable in London.
After the fall of the curtain cable news
correspondent obtained an interview with
I.otta in the green room. The actress was
deeply affected, and declared that she would
