THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.
Prospe cts and Chances of MajOr-General b
+. Butler.

f. Butler
COntin emit, Jan. 26.
''Ben Butler means to run for Governor of
Massachusetts until he is reelected" said one
traveler-an enthusiastic Democrat, by the way
to another, in the smokingroom of Pullman
car, the other day.
''Pshaw" replied the other ''You don't know
the man. What has he to gain by a reelection?
He is getting old He has been a major general
member of Congress, Governor, but there is one
thing he has not been, and next year will be his
last opportunity"
las PRESIDENT" asked the other increduously
"Of course"
'eFudge!" replied the Democrat, with a dis
gusted look. ''You are just talking to hear
yourself talk"
Would you like to make a small bet that he
will not be nominated by the Democrats and en-
Enthusiastically supported by them"
Certainly"
So the bet was made, and as mutual friend
we witnessed its entry of record. One or the
other of those gentlemen is likely to set cheap
suit of clothes next year. The reasons given by
the man who bet his money on "Old Ben" are
worthy of consideration:
81. He is immensely popular with the rabbe
everywhere.
- He has a considerable following among
Republicans.
20 He will go into the Democratic conven-
ton with nomination in advance by the Ma
tional Labor party under some name or other
81 1t is his last chance and he knows it. If
the Democrats do not nominate him he will run
anyhow. They know he will do this. He has
nothing to lose, and has lots of nerve. With
him in the field as the candidate of third party
of that sort, there is no hope for a straight-out
Democratic nomination.
Our Democratic friend looked serious but CON
soled himself with the chance that Butler might
die before that time.' The Republican threw
cold water on this hope by saying: ut is too
thin. We have buried him four distinct times,
and he still lives

Another Asylum Outragc.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 2S.-On the oath of january
1883, Miss Ellen II. Langren and Frank W.
North were married, after an acquaintance of
three weeks The newly married pair went
west on a wedding tour While in Toledo Frank
began to act strangely, and his every movement
was closely watched by his relatives. From To-
ledo they went to Cleveland. Several of his
relatives in Cleveland, also named North, and
engaged in the photography business, called upon
Mrs. North and informed her that her husband
was an imbecile, and it was the wish of his
parents that Frank be sent to asylum for
medical treatment She declined to entertain
such a proposition, whereupon they in
formed her they were determined
upon his removal to an asylum, and that
resistance was useless After much persuasion
Mrs. North states that she was permitted to ac-
company her husband to the depot i'll Cleveland
with the understanding that she was to go up on
the same train with him, and that the entire
party would proceed to Utica, N. Y. where
Franks parents reside, and there talk over the
future. The train was just about to leave the
depot as the party entered The men ran and
caught it, but when Mrs. North attempted to get
on board they pushed her back. Mrs. North at
once came to Baltimore, where she has since re
sided 1t was thought that the marriage was
Objectionable to North's relatives, and that
placing him in an asylum is part of a scheme to
cause a separation of the couple. Mrs North
has applied for divorce, and the question of
her husbands alleged insanity will be legally in
vestigated.

L1NcoLN,s FIRST NOMINATION.
Another Version of How He Came To Be
Nominated in 1860.
PHILADELPHIA Special.

Philadelphia Special.
There is to be issued in week or two, by
Houghton, Mifiin & Co, of Boston and New
York "a Memorial of Thurlow Weed" by his
grandson, Thurlow Weed Barnes. The book
promises to revive the old controversy as to
''How Lincoln was nominated" and how, at the
Chicago convention of 1860, William H. Seward
the logical, and, as everybody suspected, the in
evitable candidate against Breckenridge and
Douglas, was thrown over. Unless the proof
sheets, which the writer examined to-day with
great care, are at fault Stewards defeat
at Chicago was owing to a misunder-
standing between Mr. Weed. Mr.. Seward
and Simon Cameron. Mr. Stewards let
part of 1860 show that during that period Mr.
Cameron, Mr. Weed and Mr. Seward were at
work together with an object, and in apparent
harmony. In a letter dated Washington. April
%, 1859, to Mr.. Weed, Seward says, speaking of
Cameron: Il promised him when | left Wash
ington to spend day or so with him on my way
home. He took me to his house and told me
that all was right. He was for me, and Penn
sylvania would he. II might be that the delega
ton would cast the first ballot for him, but he
was not in etc. He brought the whole Legisla
ture of both parties to see NO. Toasted them glo
riously, and they were in the main generous
as to embarrass me- You will find John s. Pen
dleton of Virginia old enough and well disposed
represented by Henry Addison, now mayor of
Georgetown. He is wise, honest, indomitable,
and unreserved. You may seLd him safely any
where. On March Is, 1860 Seward wrote to
Weed from Washington: Mr. Cameron claims
all the delegates i'll Philadelphia but one He
says he wants to see you and will meet you here
or at Philadelphia at any time you may suggest.
He said he would write you so, but it seemed
well enough for ME to tell you. l know all
about Mr. Carl Schurz and the Important and re-
sponsble part he is acting in the Republican
cause. Please give him your confidence. /
wonder continually how you get through with
such labors and bear up under such responsible
ties"
Coming down to the convention itself, the
proof-sheets continue after the second ballot
had been taken, but before the result was an
nounced, Governor Reeder, of Pennsylvania
took the floor and said that while the voting was
going on General Cameron had withdrawn his
name. He now formally withdrew the name of
Simon Cameron as d candidate for the nOmina
ton. Forty-eight votes from the State of Penn
sylvania were then thrown for Mr. Lincoln, and
the clerk announced the result. Mr.. Seward
stood within As 12 votes of the nomination, but
the sudden rise in Mr.. Linc0ln's vote, caused by
the transfer to him of the votes from Pennsyl
vana which on the first ballot had been cast for
General Cameron, suddenly brought into the
zelda formidable opposition candidate. Other
Influences were at work in the same direction.

An extraordinary surgical Operation.

New YORK, Jan ga remarkable surgical
operation has just been performed at Bellevue
Hospital. Last Thursday young German at
head. When found by the police he was uncon-
scous. He was taken to Bellevue, where DR.,
Fluher, on examining the wound, decided to at
tempt TO find the bullet. The skull at the en-
trance of the wound was trepanned, and it was
found that the probe, which was inserted to
ward the back of the head, went so far that it
was decided to make counter opening with the
trephine opposite the point of the probe, When
the opening had been made the bullet was found
lying in the brain, just below the opening in the
skull. Then, the bullet having been removed, a
drainage-tube was passed through the brain in
passes through the head ard projects both front
and back about an inch. Since the operation
the patient has been constantly improving al
though stupid and semi unconscious. When
spoken to he opens his eyes, and when asked if
he wishes water can say yes or no. This is the
first operation of the kind ever performed.

Interview in Chicago Times.
II was msquoted in an interview in st. Louis

say that Blaine was the best possible candidate
the Republican party could present, nor that
Garfeld's death saved the Republicans from de
feat this fall. don't remember having been in

not disclose his identity. do not believe that
Blaine is the best man whom the Republicans
can put forward. 1 like Blaine l think he
is a dashing sort of fellow, who is, i'll
politics what brave charger is in war, but
think there are many men in the Republican
ranks who would make better run than he, and
be more acceptable to the people As to Garfield,

bettered them. He was just commencing to
show his strength of character and moral cour-
age when he was assassinated. He had already
gained a moral victory over two United States
senator's in New York. 1t would have made
him popular at once and the policy there evinced
would probably have been carried out to the
downfall of many superciliOus bosses more dis
tasteful to the American people than Roscoe

many good qualities, and have always believed
that had he lived he would have become so

CURIOUS HYBRID CATTLE-The warden
of the Manitoba penitentiary, near Whine
peg, has a fine herd Of hybrid cattle, crossed
between the male buffalo and the domes-
tic COW. They are very tame, taking no
more notice Of human beings than ordinary
cattle do. They are very hardy, and seem
pre-eminently adapted to range our plains.
They readily mate and nature seems to
provide their offspring with constitution
adapted to AL climatic extremes of the
Northwest. They are not housed during
the winter, find their food under the snow,
and thrive where other cattle would Starve.
The beef is excellent and yarn has been
spun from their hair They do not show a
disposition TO stray away, and altogether il
