The Cincinnati News calls the Massa'
chusetts clergy's attention to the fact
that Ben Butler occupies the same rcla-
ton to political affairs that the devil oc.
cupies as to the moral condition Of the

would swear she would jump fences and
raise merry hades, and you wouldn';
give so much for her by $40 only for
beef. 1t is so with girl. Ifshe wears
her hair high on her forehead, or brush

as gold, aud that when she tells heI
Young man that she loves him, there is

you feel Just as though she would hook
