Gen. Butler was beset by mob in
1866 while making q speech from the
steps of the Court House i'll the city of
New York. The following extract from
the New York Ijorid ut the time shows
the kind of mettle there is in him.
Now that the horrors of the Cincinnati
mob are fresh in the minds of the peo-
pie, we think it appropriate to repub-
lish the extract from Gen. Buffers
speech for the benefit Of our readers.
1t ought to have wide circulation and
be printed by every newspaper in the
land.
This portion OF his speech was de-
liyered from the steps at the moment
the mob element rushed on him in a
frenzy of rage to drive him from his POI
stion. Butler stood his ground, con-
trary to the wishes of his warmest
friends, pointing his finger at the de-
mons bowling for his life, and, penetrat-
ing their natures b. his almost super
human boldness, delivered into their
very teeth these scathing, truthful
words, which from perhaps any other
man would have caused instant death,
but from him, the mobre oiled, abashed,

As Mrs. Glass said of hare soup,
First catch your hare" in writing
letter first have something to say. Life
is too busy, in these hurried days, for
time to be wasted in the platitudes even
of politeness. A letter should have
real cause-some social or friendly
duty to discharge, some business aues-
ton to ask or answer, some opinions to
interchange, or tidings to communicate.
Then, having good reason for writ
ing, comes the secondary question of
how to do it.
Most of the transient fashions for
cologed or decorated paper are unsafe
Icccntricity is unwise. Ii person
could afford to give up life to the pur-
suit of fashion, she might succeed in
following its caprices successfully; but,
flor people who have something else to
lilo than to catch every whim of mo-
ment, and pursue it Just far enough,
and not too far, the safest stationary is
good, white paper, with envelopes to
match stationery thick enough not to
reveal its secrets to outside readers
and Of that good style Which is insured
by plainness. Simplicity is the one
thing that cannot be ridiculous.
Then, as to ink-to use good black
ink almost amounts to a social duty.
Who has not felt that he would have
fofegone letter rather than weary
over pale pages in some blind hand
writing, no matter how eloquent those
pages might be?
And speaking of eloquence-the
temptation tc be eloquent is another
foe to epistolary success. Ii people
only would write simply, and say that
they have pleasant memories of this or
that, instead of telling us that "beau-
tiful pictures are inscribed on the tab
lets of their memory" or that their
recollection surrounds the past with an
aureole of glory" we should be CRATE
ful.
Above all, why should person who
is not Quaker, who has gone TRANQUILITY
through letter speaking of "you" and
"yours," suddenly, at the end, become
Thine Truly?
We remember letter once written
in the seritable crisis of life, which
utterly failed to move the stony heart
to which it was addressed, because, all
through, it was IN amusing mixture of
you and thee-"Iou know how long
and deeply / have loved thee" for in
stance-and for this reason the hard
hearted receiver was able to put it cru
ely into the waste basket, coolly say
ing, NO one who really felt could mix
up things in that way"
This brings us back to orr text that
simplicity in lctter-writing is the secret
OF success, and that the slightest touch
Of affectation or sentimentality is as
fatal to letter rs to person. - Youths

A PRESIDENTIAL ENTRY.
August Belmont Said to be Strongly
in favor Of fudge Ruger.
Philadelphia Press.

in favor ofJudgc Ringer.
Philadelphia Press.
At an informal dinner party at the
house of August Belmont a night or two
ago, where four prominent and conserva-
tive Democrats Of wealth were assembled,
the conversation turned on the Presiden-
tial nomination. The host is a man Of
large means, great power, and at one
time acted as chairman of the Democratic
state committee. Though not actively in
politics now, he keeps the run of events
and contributes literally to the cause if
the nominations please him. The chan
ces and possibilities Of the various candi-
dates were discussed at some length. All
present agreed that Mr.. Tilden could
have the nomination by acclamation if
he was in trim for the race. But his
name being out of the question, accord
ing to his own words, other candidates
were dissected. After various opinions
had been expressed Mr. Belmont said:
1T begins to look to me very much as
if the next nominee would be James K.
Polk sort of man. | mean by that one
not widely known or actively in political
life. From the way the fight is shaping
itself | believe that Mr.. Flower will be-
come more prominent than any one else
as the New York and Eastern candidate,
and that his great antagonist will be
Paine Of Ohio. Mr.. Flower, as is well
known, is a gentlemen Of large wealth
himself, and could command almost any
sum needed to make a candidate OPP
posed to him would be the Paine wealth.
They will be pretty evenly matched. If
the fight gets bitter, and the race be-
comes neck and neck between these can
didates on q platform of money, you
may expect the convention to pitch them
overheard in disgust and take an entirely
new man. Now [ want to mention a
Democrat whose nomination might be
accomplished in case of q drawn battle
between the leading favorites in the race.
1t is Judge Ruger, of our New York
court of appeals. Don't understand this

is only mentioned to meet q contingency.
[ have quietly spoken of this matter to
few Of the honest-headed Democrats of
the State, and without a single excep-
ton, they have thought favorably Of the
idea.
His name and character would COM
mand the vote of this state beyond all
doubt, for there could be nothing but
perfect harmony under his leadership
If the pivotal State of New York, when
his name is mentioned in convention,
goes wild with enthusiasm and pledges
of success, the infection would spread
and his nomination be quite as likely as
was that of James K. Polk. Think it
over at your leisure"
One of those present said tonight that
the nam9 of Ruger made an exceedingly
favorable impression.

A Pension Seeker.

Among the numerous applications for
pensions received by the commissioner
of pensions" says the Boston Journal,
lis one sent the other day by an ex-
soldier, who has discovered an entirely
new ground for relief. He stated that
he had no wounds and was not disabled
by disease, but while fighting in the
union ranks at the battle of Antietam
he lost his coat, vest and one suspender.
The other suspender,' he wrote, was my
only stay and support. Imagine my dis
may when bullet came along and
slightly scorching my skin as it passed,
cut that last precious suspender in two.
There l stood in the presence of many
thousands of men. My emotions cannot
be described. You, Mr.. Commissioner,
can imagine them. [ am certainly en-
titled to a pension for the wounds given
to my feelings on that occasion. Possibly
you may not decide that a large pension
should be given me, but, at least. ought
to have enough to keep me in strong re
liable suspenders all my life
