That Story About Ben Butler.

Every rev years, when there Is a
talk of yellow fever, somebody or
other parades a story Of Row General
Butler saved New Orleans from ter
rIble visitation by setting his soldiers
TO clean the streets of the city.
With no desire TO deprive even Cen
eral Butler of any credit he may
deserve, and we are willing to accord
due praise for the sanitary measures
alluded to, there is no reason to believe
that his acts had anything to do one
way or another with the disease in
question. 1t has been abundantly
established that yellow fever is not
indigenous to this latitude and it does
not originate here. Strict quarantine
Will keep 1t out and has done SO for
years. Just previous to aud during
General Buffers administration OF the
city it was strictly blockaded against
all shipping save the navy. There was
no communication with any tropical
ports or other infected places. conse-
quently there was no possibility of
introd ucing the disease. Subsequently,
after the port had been opened to COM
merce the fever was brought in and
worked fearful havoc with the people
and upon the soldiers stationed tLere.
The only successful known means
for preventing All outbreak OF this pes
thence is by strict exclusion Other
measures OF sanitation have only
inferior value, possibly in limiting the
disease

FINS DEVOTION!
A Story of War Times in Middle
Tennessee

In Middle tennessee, at the foot of
a range OF hills that aspire To the
dignity of mountains, stood Fin Crown
overs house; a clap-board '-shanty"
with one room. BY the door a clear,
cold stream flowed over a bottom OF
solid rock. The soil gave TO him the
necessities of life with little coaxtng;
the sugar maple had only to be
slapped for a luxury in imitation or
which .'town sIrup" IS a weak fraud.
When the civil war came, Fin re-
fused to Join the Confederate army,
and when the conscript law demanded
his service he refused to give It. He was
thirty wears old, lean as a fence rail
and hard as pine-knot; but he didn't
care to fight, and wouldn't The pro-
vost marshal often sent for him, but he
was ALWAYS absent when the messenger
called. His wife did not know where
he was. His daughter, a black eyed
girl OF ten years, with hair 'shingled"

stood silent and trembling by her side,
was equally ignorant

IN the lower House of the Prussian
Diet, Saturday, the Emperor's civil list
bill passed the second reading after
debate in which the progressists en-
phatically protested against the increas-
ing OF the imperial allowance by 2,5OO,-

bill Included Richter Munckel, Halber-
stadt Schmisder, Langerhans and Vir-
chow. They had no difficulty in prov
ing that the wealth of the imperial
family is already enormous, the Emper-
or having at his disposal not only his
revenues of 13, 25O. 900 marks, but also
other resources from family domains

Queer Finds in Pianos

The variety of articles that piano
tuners nnd in pianos is remarkable.
One says he found four diamonds in a
piano, and received a very substantial
reward for his discovery from the
lady who employed him. "Gou can
understand the shock given to ring,''
he said, "when lady is playing and
brings her fingers down In a crescendo.
If stone happens to be loose, away it
goes, and with that rare affinity which
valuable things have for getting into
strange places, it promptly gets be-
tween the keys and works down into
the frame work of the instrument.
And little things like gems are not
the only ones lost IN this way. have
found COINS of all sorts in loosely set
piano, hair-pins, visiting cards, and
the like. Where there are children
around the accumulation becomes
greater, for the little rascals have a
fashion of stuffing pianos full of every
small thing they can get their mis-
chlevOus little fingers on. OF course,
the tone of the piano Is very much
injured by the presence of anything
beneath or behind the keys. but very
few persons who use the instrument
can distinguish when it is a quarter
tone out OF the way, especially when
they are using the piano themselves. "

NATURAL GAS BETTER THAN
DIAMOND MINES. THE Chronicle, of
san Francisco, speaking editorially of
natural gas in California, says: Think
what strides this city would make in
manufactures had she an adequate sup
ply Of this wonderful natural fuel; and
not this city alone, but other cities and
towns of the State where a lack OF
proper fuel is now such a hindrance to
their advancement y gold mine Is
well enough IN its way, and a coal
mine would be better than diamond
mine; but the discovery and utilizing of
a series of natural gas wells would
be worth more to the progress of the
state than a score of gold or diamond
mines -
