BUTLER AND JEFF DAVIS.
THE FORMERS FEARFUL ACCOUNT OF HOW
THEY PARTED IN 1861.

In speech to the Sixth Regiment at
Boston, last Thursday night Governor
Butler said:
The Democrats failed to unite at Balti

say more than such was the fact, but |
may say that committee OF fifteen from
the Breckenridge wing was chosen to
meet about Christmas at Washington TO
take measures for future organization. /
was one of that committee, and when I
went to Washington found the delegates
from South Caroliaa bringing the ordin-
ances Of secession. | conversed with
them and conversed with others of thar
committee, and found that they had no
intention of doing anything but to found
an empire, the cornerstone Of which was
to be slavery and to get the roof from the
United States, / tod them that bloody,
terrible war would be the result; but it is
only fair for those gentlemen to say right
here that they did not believe there
would be any contest, and they honestly
did not think SO, because they were of the
opinion that the North would not fight.
Ny answer to them was: "The North
will fight, and don't you make any mis-
take about that "The North will
fght?" one Texas gentleman asked;
"well, who will fight?" His blood got
up about that time | replied "Ill
fight for my own side" The answer
was: "Fhere will be plenty men 20 take
care of you,' l said Il have argued and
voted for union for twenty years, and,
God helping me, will fight year or
two if necessary for the same thing"
After had concluded to return home

tor from Mississippi. / had previously
travelled with him when he was on visit
to New England, and l believed him to
be firm Union man. | sent note to
the Senate Chamber, saying | would like
to see him. and have the note in my
possession now. which contained his re-
ply, in which he says: Come and take
tea with me this evening. | shall be
glad to see you" / went, and said "a
him: Cannot you stem this torrent?
Cannot you stop his catastrophe which
is breaking on US? What course are you
going to take?" He stayed to think for
time and then answered; 81 shall 60
with nv side" He continued and said:
"You are a Democrat: what course will
you take?" replied: '1!shall 90 with
my side and l did-'and my side will
90 with me-"
There was no anger, but more of sorrow
between us, and, while the tears stood in
his eyes, Mr.. Davis said: "Is it possible
that next time we meet we shall meet as
euemies?" Isobhed in my reply: THAT

PQsoNoUs QUALITIES OF META

POISONOUS QUALITIES OF METALS. -
AS Law, metals are poisonous in pro-
portion to the elevation of their atomic
weight, or the low degree of their speci.
fic leat. This law is the result of com.
paraively recent and certainly most
interesting Investigations Thus, in
comparing cadmium and zinc, it was
found that the former was much more
active than zinc, the two having the re-
latins indicated; barium, agai1, was
more poisonous than strontium, and the
Iatte than calcium. This law has also
been verified by comparison of the groups
tellurites; thus the latter, and selenites,
are extremely poisonous-much more so
thanth sulphides, which are scarcely
dangerous. Finally, oxygen, which be
longs to the groupof sulphur. seleniem
and tellurium, is only poisonous when
animals are exposed to the compressed
gas, SO that their blooi is made to con-
tain about double the normal quantity.
Mexico has national picture gallery
called the San Carlos, and art schools at

European masters and of the work of
Mexican painters. Among pictures by
the latter, one of the most noticeable is

can pyramid temples. On the step before
the door of the temple an Indian chief |
lies On his back, with the blood oozing
from iis side and head His wife kneels
TO the left and embraces the knees of a
monk, who attends before the temple
door, crucifx in hand, his arms crossed
in devotional attitude, and his eyes
raised to heaven. 1t is portrait of Bar
toloneo de las Casas, a Spanish prelate
who accompanied Columbus to the West
Indis on one of his voyages, and died in
1866 1t Madrid, after retiring from his
bisholrc of Chiapas, Yucatau. The
barba-ity of the Spaniards to the Indians
troubled him so much that he is said
to have crossed the ocean twelve times to
plead Tor them with the Spanish King.

HELPING WOMEN TO INDEPENDENCE.
Miss Emily Faithful, the English phil
| antropist, who has been on tour through
this country, says as to the condition of
American women: II am satisfied that
most of them have pretty good time of
it, but there is much to be done for them
yet. | found everywhere lack ofavail-
able worksfor them. There are many,
very many, respectable women who want
work little above drudgery and cannot
get it. Much has been done for women
who have the requisite training and taste
by procuring for them employment in
decorative lines. The best efforts on be. |
half of women are in the direction of ed |
ucational progress, for it is mental cul- |
ture that must make women independ- |
ent. With cut disparagement of those
who are promoting the cause of women
suffrage. | must say that, in my opinion,
their energies would be better directed
toward helping women to independence
by giving them employment"
