BUTLER.

. Everybody interested in politics in this country is wondering what bold Ben Butler will manage to accomplish. He has jumped into the arena with his usual agility and con fdence. His friends are happy and enthusi- astie. All kinds of stories about his plans are floating about. One is that his principal work is to be done in New York and Massa- ehusetts, and that not less than, one million dollars will be sunk in his behalf It is as serted that the colored children in the South are crying for him and that the great West is Efhot" for him. And the New York Sun and Tammany expected to be FEfor him. :"
 MT. F. B. Thurber of New York, promi- nent anti-monopoly leader, says that the anti monopoly element is perfectly satisfied with Butler. Most of them, he says, are Demo crats, who, if General Butler had not ac- cepted, would probably have voted for Blaine in preference to Cleveland because of C1eve- lands monopoly record as governor. ''When Cleveland was running for governor the league roll of membership embraced 51 ,000 names. Now, in the coming presidential contest every one, or nearly every one, of these voters will tell for General Butler as against Cleveland. I think Butler will make a splendid run-a run that will astonish the people. He is extraordinarily popular with the masses wherever there large centers, and will capture the workingmen's vote. Be sides these sources of strength there is an astonishingly large element in the Democrat ic party which is something more than dis satisfied with Cleveland-an element which would rather throw aside the tradition of their party and vote for Blaine in preference to Cleveland. They will now go over to But Ter, who is a good enough Democrat for them, and he is good enough Republican for the large number of Republicans who would rather vote for Cleveland than Blaine. They, too, will probably go over to Butler"
 This is queer year in politics, but it does not seem to us hardly probable that the en- thusiastic ideas of MT. Thurber and others who think with him will be realized. It will be indeed surprising if General Butler gets the large vote that some of his friends think he will The main issue this year is the tariff question, and it is not likely that Ben Butler or anybody else will succeed in obscuring it. In 1876 the good Peter Cooper had 8 popular vote of only S1, TAO and Weaver popular vote of only 307, 306 in 19SO Buffers vote will not, we think, be tremendous one, and the probability is that it will come mostly from the Democrat ic party.

The orchestra did really perform it's part thoroughly we'll. The company was small, the chorus not exceeding twenty members. Of course the rendition was tame, when com pared with the inimitable performance of the Boston Ideals, but it served to remind me of western civilization. The principals were none of them frst-elass, but on the other hand none of them were execrably bad. To- renzo and Rocco were the best, and made it pretty lively.

rinety-two Cents a Day.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I saw an item in your paper of August 9th stating that the Irish-Americans had been cut down to ninety-two cents day in the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, iron works, and that it is driving the Irish American work ingmen back to Ireland. Even there, they say, they can do better than ninetytwo cents day No wonder at the present rate of tariff, and if Messrs Morrison and Mitchell had their way about it it would drive the Italians (mueh less Irishmen, which are some of our best citizens and mechanics in the United States) to Potter's field or some worse place. You have no need to go to Bethlehem, Penn sylvania, but look at the state of things in the New Haven rolling mill and wire mill owing to the advocation of low tariff and free trade

broken heart-not because he lost
the Presidency, but his son. Henry
Clay, .jr., was his fathers idol He
was sent to West Point, where he
graduated second in his class. After
four months in the army he resigned,
and began practicing law in Lexing-

Used better things than he did. When
the Mexican war broke out he was de-
termned to 90. His father made no
objection, and he went out as Lieu
tenant-Coloncl of the FIRST Kentucky
Regiment. At the battle of Buena
Vista, Santa Anna, with $4,000
troops, nearly overwhelmed General
Taylor, with about one-eighth that
number. Clay fought hard, but, as
his regiment was falling back, a shot
went through both legs. He was not
mortaIly wounded, and three men
picked him uo to carry him off the
field. 1t soon became evident that
the Mexicans would overtake them.

taking the pistol which his father had
given him, he handed it to one of the
men with the words, 'Take this and
retprn it to my father. Tell him

that they dropped him and ran after
the retrcating troops. The last they

ODD FELLOWSHIP.

On the l4th inst. there was held in
San Francisco one Of the grandest
civic celebrations ever held on the
West Coast. Odd Fellows from all
parts of the State participated in the
fraternal jubilee, of the anniversary
of the founding Of the Order in Amer
lea, and all the Lodges in the Califor-
mia jurisdiction were represented in the
parade and ceremonies attending the
laying Of the corner stone of the new
building, at the corner of Seventh and
Market streets. The city was beauti-
fully decorated, the procession was
large, brilliant with banners, and
marched to the music of bands from
all parts of the State.
The 18th Of May is IA day of festiv-
ity with Odd Fellows throughout
America, but rarely, if ever, has there
been such spontaneous outpouring
of Friendship, Love and Truth as on
this occasion. The day will long be
remembered by members of the Order
in California.
There ought to be Lodge Of Odd
Fellows in HALEY. There are many
men here who are members Of Lodges
in different parts of the country they
should unite and organize, and the
sooner the better. 1t is one Of the best
of secret societies, and besides tn,
mutual benefit it affords, it unites it,
members in q bond of fricndshi,
which makes chem better, more unset
fish and nobler men.

The Terrible Abatis,

Detroit Free Press.I
Let a regiment move out of the
shelter of piece of woods to charge
breastwork defended by infantry and
artillery, and one man out OF every Ten
will be killed or wounded by she'll or
round. shot while the lines are forming.
Within one minute from the time the
nearest man comes within range Of the
musketrv and grape forty men will
drop. During the rush at least twenty
more will go down, and as the troops
reach the works they will meet with
such a fire as will break up all organ
ization. One time in forty the works
will be carried. Thirty-nine times out
of forty the attacking troops are driven
back with Il loss Of from 200 to $50
men.
Take that same breastwork, having
a hcad-log to fire under, and run an
abats along its front, and it is nothing
short Of murder to send men against
it. Let the abats be SIMPLY wlnrow
of small trees and brush, and no col
umn can pass it without halt. Men
must lay down their muskets and drag
at the obstruction, and the broken
lines must be reformed, and that
within thirty feet Of the musl >ets hay
ing dead rest. Make the abatis of
sharpcns,d stakes, with their butt ends
driven deep into the earth and the
center firmly fastened to a rail running
parallel with the works, and five hun
bred men behind the works can hold
them against five thousand. Let telc-
graph wires be strung from tree to tree
orpost to post, as was sometimes done,
and unless the attacking party bring
axes their dead will be piled up three
feet deep all along the wire fences.
