Geo. N. Jones Pays His Compliments to

NEW YORK, October 30.-In answer to
numerous inquiries as 10 what honest
Greenbackers should do at this election,
Geo. o. Jones advises them in a circular
to carefully avoid Benz F. Butler and
then act according to conscience. "Gen-
eral Butler" he says, ''never accepted
the nomination of the Greenback party,
never refers to it in his speeches, and
proves himself a friend of Government
bond and National bank monopones He
solicited and received one-quarter
of the votes in the National
Decentralization Convention held
at Chicago In 1880, and then
GAVE HIS TIME,
money and service TO elect the candidate
of another party. He sought and OBJ
tanned the Greenback nomination in 1884
to strengthen his candidacy in the then
coming Democratic convention, and now
seeks to defeat his successful rival by
giving indirect support to the Republican
candidate" The circular continues
General Butler did more than any other
man in the North to encourage the South
TO secede, and then became its bltterest
enemy to save his own
MICK FROM THE HALTER.
He turned the capital of the Nation into a
prison to force witnesses TO give testi-
mony which would impeach President
Johnson-as honest man as ever held
that office He voted for more jobs than
any other member of Congress while he
held seat in that body. He voted for

Where each heart shall rest contcnted,
Grateful for each pleasure there.

that these would be passed SO that work

they would be ready to report Monday.

At these words the green glasses fell, tn,

look of deadly hatred on his face, q heavy

Slowly Nutting's eye ran about the room.
Escape was impossible-help would not

Suddenly the butt of the old dueling
pistol came within the circle of his vision.
Cool as his would-be murderer, he turned
to him and said "Will you let me smoke
once more ?"
The fellow eyed him sharply.
"Smoke? Yes, one cigar" he said, at
length. And lowering the muzzle Of his
weapon, he thrust it into his pocket TO sup
