Buffers Elephant.

Gen. Benjamin f. Butler is reported to be
very angry. Why? He charges that some
of the votes cast for him for President in
1884 were counted for another candidate,
but that is not what he is angry about. He
also saws that Mr.. Cleveland and some hun
dred or two democratic congressman are
running the government III the interest of
England, but neither does he appear to be
very angry about that What has raise
Buffers ire is that tho United States senate
has refused to pay him $277, 900 for his big
stone building in Washington.
1t was Mr.. Allison who caused to be in
ment to pay Gen. Butler for his property
the sum named, but when the bill was un-
der consideration by the senate, Mr.. Ed
munds objected to the amendment. He said
that S27T 900 was just five times too much
to pay, whereupon Mr.. Allison remarked
with delightful mingling of dignity and
feeling that if Mr.. Edmu nds were correct
there must be an extraordinary mistake
somewhere. Mr.. Edmunds replied very
grimly that he thought it probable that
there was an extraordinary mistake some
where, as the ground on which the building
stood would hardly be worth S277, 900 if it
were covered with gold dust.
After this passage at arms, the senate
concluded that the appraisers had better
try it again, and accordingly the amend
ment was rejected.
The building in question is big, ugly
stone structure close to the capitol. 1t was
erected for a residence, but for some years
has been used by the government for the
coast survey aid for number of house
committees. Gen. Butler has made several
attempts to dispose of it to the government,
but each has ended in failure, as congress
has generally objected to the price fixed by
the appraisers. AS Gen. Butler is getting
81, 900 a year rent for his elephant, how
ever, he will probably refrain from calling
Senator Edmunds out

Faetidious Help at Summer Resorts.
From the Boston Post

From the Boston Post.
It is question of good deal of interest to
people who remain in town what designs So
called "hep" have in the way of quarters for
the season. must confess that the movements
of the domestics offer a more instructive and
entertaining topic than those Of their masters
and mistresSes, because they are presumably
less regulated by the caprice of fashion. On
this account was somewhat panied to read
the advertisement of a cook here in Boston
which set forth that she would go nowhere but
to Bar Harbor. To be sure, 1t is possible that
| the cook has selected the noted Maine watering
place on account of its grand scenery and salu-
briOus breezeS, but the haunting suspicion re-
ours that she wants to go there to be, so to
speak, in the swim, y to mingle with the fash
iOnable set. This idea was confirmed by the
fact that cookery has been reduced to science
at Bar HarbOr, and that the menu of picnic is
about as elaborate as that of a dinner party
Another evidence of the effect of artificial
| living upon the simple tastes of domestic ser
| wants here In Boston was revealed to me by the
advertisement of q waitress who wants situa-
ton at Newport, and this, too, with such water
| ing places as Revere beach and Squantum close
at hand, to say nothing of SwampScott and
| Beverly farms. Still another advertisement
which caught my eye made me feel that the
primitive simplicity of household servants here
| in Boston has been exchanged for an artificial
self-consciousness. A first-class cook takes the
public into her confidence so far as to state
that she will go to any watering place where
she can have her evenings, whether for "out-
| ings' or at homes does not appear; but that
she is not to be trifled with is obvious from her
emphatic statement: mo cards or letters an
swered." 1t is plain that anybody who desires
her assistance must meet BombasteS face to
face" and |, for one, should not care to venture
upon such a mission without ample prepare
ton. l suppose there may be few cooks or
chambermaidS who can be induced to remain
in town during the summer, but fear there
are many who, having exhausted the attrac-
tons of Bar HarbOr and Newport, will be con
tent only with trip to Europe.

London is reported to be greatly amused
by the utterances of Mr.. Blaine at his re-
ception in New York the other day, and
that gentloman's statements are denied that
the progress of the campaign In the United
States is viewed with as profound interest
in England as in this country, and that
while Englishmen may be somewhat divi-
ded even in support of a monarchy, they are
unanimously for Cleveland and free
trade" The Daily NeroS says the English
press virtually ignores tho contest, and
England watches it with unconcern. Poo
pie who thoroughly understand Mr.. Blaine
are of the opinion that when he made those
statements he was resorting to tricks, in the
exercise of which he has earned the term
of demagogue.

The question, Can a person die of the
bite of an ordinary house fy!" is being dis
cussed by several members of the press.
The discussion is caused by the serious ill
ness of Mrs. Walden, of New York, who was
bitten by fly few days ago, and who
suffered so greatly from the effects of the
poison conveyed to her system that at one
time her life was almost despaired of.
Probably this is the first instance of the
kind on record, and the most reasonable
conclusion to be reached is, no doubt, that
the ny had fed upon some poisonous sub
stance, and conveyed the poison to Mrs.
Walden's system.

George w. Clarkson, of Cleveland, O.. is
colored man who will vote tho democratic
ticket this year. He says the free whisky
plank of the republican platform causes
him TO question the sincerity of that party's
professions of love for the colored people of
the south. The following extract from his
remarks shows Clarkson to DO a clear
headed man. 1.-THE republicans could not
do the negro race greater injury than by
making whisky so cheap that it would be
easily within their reach. My people in the
south generally have no worse enemy than

Mr., Levi p. Morton, republican candi-
date for vice president, is said to be cir
culating the report that he is not as wealthy
as people think he is. Doubtless Mr.. Morton
is greatly worried by appeals for money
since the republican press began to harp
upon his alleged generosity, but it wouldn't
be wise for him to create the impression
that he is going into bankruptcy, because
it was owing chiefly to his "harl" that he
was nominated, and his bari" is expected
to do great service in the fight.

Drinking Men Not Wanted,

One OF the first questions asked a young
man who makes application for employ
ment is, "Do you drinkg' Young men who
drink intoxicants even moderately find
much more difficulty in securing work than
those whose habits are temperate, and when
they find employment they are much more
likely to be deprived of it, The reason of
this is very apparent Inebriety prevents
honest and satisfactory work.
A few nights ago two burglars of some
what youthful age gained entrance into a
house in fashionable quarter of New York
and secured jowery valued at quite large
sum Wrapping their booty in handker-
chief, they were about to depart, when one
of them suggested that they visit the cellar
and test the wines. When they left they
were SO far under the influence of alcohol
that they disposed of the jewelry iniudi-
ciously, and the police were enabled to run
them down.
Since, in this instance excessive drinking
led to the arrest of offenders against the
law, and was thus the means of benefiting
the public, the application of the above
may not be apparent at first glance. 1t Is
clearly applicable. however. Whatever
work a man engages in, whether it be of a
creditable or discreditable character, he will
not accomplish it as well, if at ALL if he in
dulges unduly in strong drink.
There has boon a considerable change of
sentiment on this question within the last
dozen years. Formerly the importance at
tached to soLriety was not so great Now
the tendency to employ mon of temperate
habits only is so marked that it probably
does as much for the cause of temperance
as prohibition and temperance societies do.

per cent. Of our exports and Imports

twenty-five par cent. went and

most completely driven from the

reason Of this is that England.
France, Germany, and Italy have
established their carrying trade and
given 1t back bone by backing it up
with subsidies, that Is to say, these
governments have given their ship
ping large amounts Of government
aid every year, until the lines have
become rich. The United States
gives its shipping no aid whatever,
hence our people can not afford to
build ships and buck against those
foreign vessels. The foreign lines

folly for an American to undertake
