A Photograph of Ben Butler.

Mr.. B.. f. Butler, trying a case in the
United States court in Philadelphia, is
thus photographed by The Times of that
city: HE has grown more portly of late
years and his girth now exceeds the long
est ~sword-belt. The bald expanse of his
No. 8 head has broadened a trife, but the
outlying fringe of gray hair is as long and
as thick as ever. In his buttonhole he
wore a yellow rose, and when he left the
room to return to the Continental he
1auntily perehea on his head the dingy
SLOUGH hat, far more aged in its appear
ance than its Aale-looking owner."-Ex

Cure For Pies.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
Of weight in the back, Joins and lower part
OF the abdomen, causing the patient to
suppose he has some affection of the kid
neys or neighboring organs. At times,
symptoms of Indigestion are present, az
fatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture, like Precipitation, producing a
disagreeable itching, after getting warm is
a common attendant. Blind, bleeding
and itching Piles yield at once to the APP
plica.iop Of Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts affected,
absoI biDg the tumors, allaying the intense
itching, and effecting a permanent cure.

Appearance Of Cardinal manning.

Cardinal Manning is the very dream of
emaciation physically, and of zeal men,
tally. His face is more than gaunt; it is
spectral in its thinness. The ridge of
cheekbone from ear to ear stands out like
q finger laid upon the flesh. The hollows
about the drawn, thin-lipped mouth are
%cavernous. The deep, weird eyes look out
from caverns. The upper forehead bulges
as if it would force apart the tight
stretched skin. 1t is a face which the
painter would seek for utmost impressive
ness of effect in a death-bed scene. Yet this
wonderful old man is the hardest working

When List Jokea the Gar.

Many years ago, while in Russia, List
was commanded to play before the late
Alexander III. at the palace of Peterhotf.
During the performance, whilst Liszt was
in the act of im%provising some sublime
melody, his majesty held converse with
the empress and other members of the
imperial family, this in a sufficiently loud
tone to irritate in no small degree the
nerves of the great master. Liszt sud.
denly stopped, and the emperor, noticing
the general silence, requested the execu.
tant to go on. Liszt rose from his seat,
and, making a profound bow to the EN-.
peror, said: "Sire, when kings speak all
should be silent" The car was quick tt
catch a witty sally, felt the sting, and the
great musician was handed his passport
the following morning, the meaning o.
which implied a courteous request tt

Mr.. Ottoman Anchutz, a skilled photog-

krupp's range, near Meppen, by order Of
the German admiralty. He is to devote
his attention chiefly to taking photographs
of projectiles in transit, the recoil of gun
carriages, the penetration of armor- plates
by projectiles, and similar phases in artil-
lery practice. AS projectiles have a veloc-
ity of 1900 feet per second, the obstacles to

Peculiarities of D~ressmaking Business.
A recent law suit in London brought
out some of the peculiarities OF the dress
making business. One dress of white
satin, with a train painted by hand, cost
eS1, but was charged for by the 1nilliner
at e21O. Another dress of sapphire velvet
cost e44 IS. and ven with the regular
profit of 40 per cent. added, ought to have
been charged at only e62, but was charged
at ETC. There were other accusations of
charges for goods not ordered. 1t was the
court dressmaker who presented these ex-
traordinary bills, and the judge said q
person who patronized her must expect to
pay great profits, and he allowed 40 per
cent IS reasonable.-Chicago Tribune.
