Why Butler Attacked Tewks
bury.

In an interview with General But
Ter in the New York Herald, the
following question is asked:
"HOw about the Tewksbury mat
ter
"For reasons it is better not to talk
about that now. In a few days l shall
have something TO say that will be
full of meat for the public digestion"
But how did you happen to take
hold of that institution ,"
my house is within eight miles of
1ewksbury, and soldier paupers made
complaints to me for years. I inves-
tigated statements and became ac-
quainted with startling facts which /
embodied in my message. l told
what | knew concerning the sale of
dead bodies taken by stealth.
The Legislature denied my as
sertiens and appointed a commit
tee of investigation. Two commit
tees had white-washed the manage
ment. I found that the same family
had been in control since 1858, and
when the committee invited me to
present such evidence as I had I did
so. l was given thirty days. Mean
time l had examined into the legal
status n found, among other
things, that the trustees had been
engaged in making contracts for sup
plies. The superintendent appointed
by them had given no bonds as re-
quired by law. There is a supervi-
sorry board over the trustees, which,
by direction of the Governor, can be
ordered to supercede the trustees.
They (the supervisors are called the
Board of Charities. I ordered the
board to supercede the trustees.
They did SO. Then 1 notified them
that the superintendent had not
qualified, and they had to remove
him. Although there is no precedent
for my action, l went before the
committee and conducted the inves-
tigation precisely as Il lawyer would
his clients cause.n
"Wby:!"
Because / knew that great wrongs
were being done, and that great good
would be accomplished by calling
the attention of other magistrates to
abuses in their own States. This
thing can be found everywhere. It
should be corrected everywhere, aud
already l hear Of reforms in many
States-a direct outcome from this
investigation"

Woman's Nerve.

A tall lady with a saturnine coun-
tenance came into the Chronicle Office
| to-day and demanded of one of the
reporters if Virginia offered a good
field for a series of a dozen lectures on
woman suffrage.
II don't think the Comstockers
have thought much about female
suffrage" replied the reporter can-
didly.
don't say temnle," said the tall
lady, sharply:
"Why nol?" asked the reporter, in
innocent surprise.
because, sir, a term that is used
to describe sex in animals should not
be applied to women"
The reporter admitted, in great
humiliation, that the point was well
taken, and looked up in some alar m
at the severe co%untenance of the lady,
who was a head taller than himself
and manifestly able to thrash him in
the interest of progress, it so disposed.
The stern countenance softened
somewhat at the signs of confessed
inferiority, however, and the lady
continued:
THE cause of woman is The cause
Of humanity. The cause of humani-
ty embraces all progress. Why, then,
should the people of Virginia he in
different to woman"
"They're not" cried the small re-
porter, hastily. Far from it.
Woman is the boss in this camp.
Everything she wants she gets, and
not one in q hundred has to do a lick
of work."
"Mere toys" said the tall one, with
deep cor "Playtbings for An idle
hour. You cover woman with silks
and gauds and sink her soul into in
significance by circumscribing her
sphere and allowing her no mission
in life.'
"Well," admitted the small report.
er, "that's about the way We look at
it up here, that's a fact. Women
haven't got the nerve to rustic for
themselves like men,"
NER-R-R-vE."
She uttered this wOrO in q terrific
tone; so terrific that the small re-
porter half rose from his chair.
"Nerve! What is there requiring
nerve that you do that I am incapa-
BILE of?'

meant nothing personal, [ assure
you.'
"Am I not stronger than you?"
she demanded. seeming the apology.
"Am 1 not gifted with as great a
brain? Why do you despise my sex?
We a bear more pain, and are your
superiOrs in courage
The small reporter was gazing fix
eddy at q dark corner of the room,
and made NO answer.
"Nerve, indeed !" continued the
tall lady, why, women have infin-
itely more nerve than men. Only
yesterday I saw q woman"
"That's the biggest rat 1 ever saw
in the Office" said the small reporter,
staring intently at the dark corner.
The screams that rent the air
brought in all the printers and sew
eral citizens from the ST Get. When
they arrived the tall one was stand
ing on q chair with one hand cover
ing her eyes and the other convul-
sively clutching at her skirts as she
gathered them close around her.
The small reporter wisely took aC-
vantage of the crowd to slip out, and
he t~elegrapbed from Gold Hill that
he was goingdown to Carson to work
up a big item Virginia City Mr0n-
icle.

There Were Tears On HIS Cheeks.

Lord bless you! but I had never
given him a second look. l knew
that he was Norwegian, slow but
solid, hardly able to spea a word of

it locks a bit hard-hearted in ME, but

blundered as he did, but since 1 have
learned how it was with him I've

"How was it,"
"Well. he had just got his bod
filled with bricks 0own there when
two or three of his countrymen came
along and told him that his baby boy
was dead. They had just come from
his house on Russell street to bring
him the news. He came upon the
scaffold with his hod, probably in
tending to notify me of his affiiction.
His eyes must have been full of tears
and as he stepped out he missed his
distance and went to the ground.
There were tears on his cheeks when
We picked him up, and the only

New York Copper Market.

The event of the week has been
the sale by the principal lake pro-
ducers of from IS, OO0. 600 to 20. OOO. 900
pounds at private terms. As to the
details of the transactions, nothing
but vague rumors are as yet current.
A large portion of. it-some say all
has been taken by manufacturers,
the delivery to extend over the next
five months. 1t is stated in other
quarters that some of it was for ex-
port. The price is given as 15c.,
while some of it brought 154c.
For jobbing lots it is not possible
just now to do better than 153c., but
of course there is little buying. and
for a long time to come there will be
little movement in lake copper.
Meanwhile, we must record also X
pclt sales of upward of 5000. 900
pounds of Arizona copper. details
not having been made public as yet.
The market has not settled down
sufficiently after these transactions
TO permit of any statement of its con-
dition. We quote nominally Lake
15sMl54c., and other brands I4M Isle
Should it prove CT rect that the
lake companies have supplied the
principal consumers with the bulk of
their requirements for some months
to come, there can be no doubt that
values of other brands must recede a
little more. There is reason to be-
lieve that a certain, though perhaps
small, quantity Of lake copper, pro-
duced by the smaller mines, will find
its way into the markets and will
compete with the other brands, of
which a large proportion will have to
seek a foreign market, unless our
home demand picks up. Producers
will therefore watch the foreign mar
kets more closely than ever, and thus
far the outlook is encouraging. Con-
eagerness has been shown
by foreign buyers to take Arizona
and other metal produced in the
West, and values have thus far been

The Mexican n K

The New Orleans Democrat re

but, I'VE regret to say" continues
the Democrat, 1.-THE burrO brays.
Amazing as is his strength, his
stamina, his amiability. his courage,
these things are as nothing compared
to his bray. That such q tremendous
and far-reaching sound should
emanate from so small q source con-
stitutes the eighth wonder of the
world. When the little blue burro-

to celebrate his scanty period of re-
Taxation by a good, healthy, whole
souled bray-when he humps his
little back, aud shuts his appealing
little eyes, and lets his earn lay along
his back, and then gathers himself
into one ecstatic note, it is enough to
make one envy the saipted dead, and
long for the cold ana silent grave.
The sleepers for a mile around start
up with the sweat Of terror On their
furrowed br0ws, children fall down
in fits, the sick believe that they
have heard Gabriel's horn, and the
very atmosphere shudders like a
human creature. Burros don't often
bray, because they haven't much
time for brayiDg but they bray
sometimes, and that is what keeps
them 80 low in the scale of animated
nature. Without his bray, the burro
would lie little short of an angel. Az
