In imitation of Satan, who promised to give
away the whole world, when he did not own a
foot of it, some enthusiastic personal parti-
sans of the New York Governor, approached
Ben. Butler, and offered him cabinet ap-
pointment, if he would turn in and help
Cleveland on the first ballot, but the old gen.
tlemen spurned the proffered bride. But
Ter struck hands with John Kelly, and they
twain predict Cleveland's defeat, and will
do all they can to verify their prediction.
Had old Ben felt any way sure of Cleve-
lands election, had he virtue to spurn the
proffered bride? Doubted. The following is
the statement: ''It is said that Cleveland's
organizers held half-hour interview with
Butler this morning and rendered to him the
position of secretary of the treasury under
Cleveland if he came to Cleveland's support
ON the first ballot. Butler promptly replied
that he could not consent to hold cabinet
Office under a man so unskilled in politics as
Cleveland was. In making this reply But
ler's language Is said to have been more Wig
orous than delicate, but it conveyed the con-
temptuous idea above mentioned"

EXIT BUTLER.

Ben Butler left for home this morning.
He will remain in the field as green back
and labor candidate and will not support the
Democratic nominees, ON the ground that
they did not adopt platform he could sup
port, He told the committee on resolutions,
Of which he was member, that he earnestly
desired to support the Democratic ticket,
but as condition Of his doing so insisted
upon his views being incorporated in the
platform. This is the game willy Ben played
to let himself out. He never had any idea
that he could secure his platform
and am just urcharitable enough to think
be made his platform radical TO make sure
that it would not be accepted. As he could
not secure the Democratic nomination be de.
sired some excuse for not repudiating the
nominations he already has, and II he had
committed himself to the Democratic ticket
he would be obliged to withdraw from the
other tickets. So the platform dodge was
resorted to and worked TO charm.

Egyptian Street Cars and Cafes.

Here in Alexandria, for the first time
in my life have seen street-cars rum
ming without the aid of rails of any
kind. The cars are like our ordinary
open, summer cars, though q little
shorter, and are drawn by two horses.
The wheels are about twice the usual
diameter, projecting up through the
floor quite conspicuously. They are of
wood with iron tires. AS the streets of
Alexandria are paved with smooth
blocks of stone, about two feet long by
one foot wide, in such a way that the
lines of contiguity cross the street half
way diagonally and then reverse
they are specially adapted to the loco
motion of these cars. The cars must
be hght-built, and Judge that there are
regularly-appointed routes for them.
They move along at decent speed, and
are not altogether uncomfortable.
AS in Cairo, the cafes are great fea
ture. There must be hundreds of them.
and what is more remarkable, they
seem to be full pretty nearly all the
time. There are one or two principal
ones that seldom have vacant seat,
and must accommodate 200 or 800 per-
sons at time. Among the signs,
which are all in French. of course, I
read: ''Glace rAmericap, quite
frequently, whatever that may mean.
Mocha coffee (without milk is the ia
vorite beverage, and from experience
l can pronounce it delicious. So are
also the waiter girls who serve it. Some
OF the cafes are provided with pipe-or
gans, with brass-band accompaniment.

A New Disease.

Attention has lately been drawn in
