General Butler is disgusted that the
vepostsre will make him talk, although
~ AVS nothing. He gives notice that
any interviews with him that are pub
lIshed which represent him as saying
anything are lies out of the whole
cloth, as he has shut down on communi-
eating his views to the public until he
can make up his mind what his views
are and when that time comes eprom-
isss to be explicit In declaring them
He submits that he has reputation for
. fondness for the public expression OF
his sentiments, which will be guarantee
that the public will get them whenever
he has them ready to give.
We agree with the general that we
ought to await patiently his proclama-
tion OF his views upon political matters,
under the reasonable assurance we have
that he will not hide them very long
under bushel. The circumstances
surrounding the general are quite sutii-
cient to warrant him in Withholding a
hasty exposition of what he thinks. In
the first place, he has lately delivered
himself quite abmdautly at Chicago,
aud may be excused for being somewhat
dry. weary and disgusted. Since that
pumping up Of his sentiments, moreover
things have changedand a new situation
awaits his consideration. lie has seen the
Democracy adopt a platform and candi
date to which he took sharp exception
and furthermore he is candidate him
self. He might reconcile himself to th,
platform, as his difference from 1t wa!
not very vital, but how he Is to support
Cleveland for president, when he ha:
accepted presidential nomination him
self, is somewhat of puzzle. And yet
what he Is to make by opposing Cleve
land and standing for the place
himself is not very clear /; and this is
what he is studying out. He can't bt
elected himself that is clear. There
may possibly, however, be something
evolved from the situation that will be
valuable to him, he thinks, and he pro
poses to give time for the evolution
The prospect Is not very natterlog, ahu
depends upon the outlook for a serious
detection from Cleveland. If the gen
eral could bag enough Democratic votes
to be the deciding element in New York
state as candidate, he might hold that
state in the hollow of his hand for Blain,
or Cleveland which would doubtless bt
an agreeable position of power for hin
to occupy; for he likes, of all things, tC
be factor in things
We have little doubt that tn,
result Of the generals oOserva
tion of the political situation
during the summer will be such as t
cause him, before the autumn breeze
blow, to fall into the Democratic line {
battle. The general is little sore no
over the nominations of Chicago, but h
will feel be tier after his summering an
Saratoga water.

The residents of lette village not far

excited over the strange actions OF a young
lady who is at preseut stopping at the
residence of her uncle. II appears
that within the past few mouths
she has exhibited all the symp-
toms of sOmuambuism. While appar
entity asleep she would rise, ard, with
her eyes tightly closed, walk down stairs
in perfect safety. Ii was found that after
performing these singular feats she would
return to her bed, and on awaking in the
morning could not recall she cirCum ST ance
to mind. \ short time ago her frieuds,
who regarded her present state with great
anxiety, tried an experiment. OIe even.
ing recently, when she was found
walking in hOr slocp, gentleman,
procuring pen aud paper, requested
her TO writo letter. She obeyed
mechanically, aud sitting down wrote a
note 70 an absent friend, correct in every
respect, although her eyes at the same
time were closed. 4 singular fAci was
that the writing throughout was excellent

became herself again, aud when acquainted
with her strange actions, felt greatly sur

themselves as puzzled with the case, anG
