Gov. Butler now that the Tewksbury
committee has made two reports is after
the republicans of that committee to prove
that they lied about an interview with him.
Benjamin is four years younger than
Samuel; and there is this difference, the
Massachusetts man does not conceal his
presidential ambition while the New
Yorker is as mysterious as stage whisper
or dime novel. The "old ticket" is
much talked about but whether Tilden
and Hendricks are working up its boom
or sitting in sack cloth or broad cloth
Borrowing because of it is unknown
Butler and Tilden are the "smartest" of
the lot of democratic candidates but the
solid south cottons to neither. Some folks
think that Tilden has some mysterious
power over his party that enables him to
control it and that the younger democrats
are worrying for fear that because Tlldcn
wants to run he will run. The younger
democrats of late seem to have htd con.
siderable to say in their party as witness
the nominations Of Butler, Cleveland and
Pattison last year, and the nomina ion Of
Hoadley this year. If the younger demo.
Gratis want anybody in particular they
ought to be able TO get him.

Two Millions for Wild Beasts.

During the past nineteen years, Adam
Forepaugh has expended $2,OOOOO0 In the
capture, and also in the importation and
purchase from the Old Worlds soological
gardens, of almost every specieb OF animal
life that walks, ilies, swlms or crawls. and
to-day he owns and exhibits tho most
gigantic menagerie in the world. lie mas
every year, and this season In particular,
expended more money for single rare
animals than many other managers expend
in equipping their entire exhibitions as
witness his great herd of twenty-five
Asiatic and African elephants. and the
recent purchase of the first, the only genu-
inc, man faced gorilla. veritable zebra,
giant giraffe and other equally rare for.
eign animals. As soon as The capture OF
this gorilla became known, all the zoolog.
ical gardens of the Old World endeavored
to secure it and in order to secure the prize
for his now most perfect and colossal
menagerie he quickly outbid all competl-
tors, and it now adorns the wild beast
collection of the largest exhibition IN the
world. Still apother triumph in the field
of z biological exploration was his recent
purchase of the first, the only. the verita-
BILE Tamanour, or great guinea ant, bear !;
its wonderful conformation, curious habits
and extreme rarity render 1t the most
extraordinary quadrupedal curiosity with
in the borders of the United States. The
browning triumph, and the capsheaf, OF
his mammoth collection of wild beasts, is
the recent purchase of one monster single
horned and one double horned Rhinoceros.
No exhibition under the sun ever before
exhibited ut the same time, in one collec-
ton, the single and double horned species
of these, the biggest born on earth. These
huge, unwieldy biblical animals in them
selves constitute feature pronounced TO
be we'll worth all that is required to pur-
chase an admission ticket to the entire
colossal collection Of wild beasts, great
triple circus, hippodrome, museum and
curiosity show.
Disporting in massive iron tanks are
seen Asiatc ocean sea lions, sporting,
believing and evaporating precisely as
they appear in their native element.
There has Just been added to his great
collection the wonderful geological rarl-
ties, white camels and Jet black dromeda
ries, and the only pure white polar bears
now On exhibition in this country; apes,
balloons and monkeys, the wonderful
African hairy horned horse. ten majestic
lordly lions, and two recently born baby
elephants, trained tigers. leopards, hye.
mas, bears and carnivorous creatures ever
seen in any menagerie or geological
garden on this continent. Also, magnifi'
cent and beautiful plumaged ostriches,
cassowaries and emeus, huge pythons and
anacondas.

Mr.. George Alfred Townsend,

Mr.. George Alfred Townsend, the
broadway lounger" of the New York
Tribune, relates an interesting anecdote of
Governor William Slade of this state,
which was told by Henry A Wise, of Vir
ginia. Governor Slade was member of
congress from Vermont between 1881 and
'43, and was an early aboitonist. On
account of some antislaverv views which
he had expressed huge Georgia bully in
congress thought it would be 4 popular
thirg at home to insult him publicly. So
he walked up to Mr.. Sade and deliberate
ly spit mouthful of tobacco juice in his
face. Wise had been struck with the
beautiful, wom. My face of Slade. He
went up to the bully and said: You cow
ardly dog, spit on me now! I'll cut you
into dog meat" "WhatP" exclaimed the
unwashed fellow. Slade, who had quietly
wiped the spittle off, looked up surprised;
he knew Wises face, though Wise had
never spoken to him. "Mr. WISE he
said, don't get into difficulty with this
man on my Iccount" "He mani" said
Wise; "Ill get into no difficulty with
him. He knows his man this time too.
Mr.. Slade was elected governor of the
state in 1874. He was man of great
moral courage and never afraid OF ex.
pressing his opinion.

and general as was the enjoyment along
the entire mile of the course, it was not
easy to perceive anywhere signs of heart
ier qualification than in this enclosure OF
the Isthmians, and on board thoir carpeted

more or less observed by those who took
the picnic view of this regatta. Principal
themes Of comment were the continued
good form of Exeter college, who won
last year, and the remarkable pace shown
by Twickenham, rowing as they did, from
the Bucks station, which slight disadvan-
tage in the start was in all other cases
associated with loss of the race.
Among the ladies' dresses great
increase in the number of real serviceable
boating costumes was to be observed,
many of these white serge Or flannel robes
