BUTLER'S MALIGNITY.

BEN BUTLER was a soldier brave. and
used to wars alarms. And while can
non ball never got chance to take off
his legs or arms, it does seem pity that
some hayward shot did not cut slice
out Of his slanderous tongue in order
that the real heroes of the war might
he protected in their regulations. His
recent attempt to blacken the character
of Admiral PORTER by charging him
with cowardice at New Orleans. when
that city was captured by FARRAGUT,
comes with bad grace from man whose
military record consisted, as JOHN A.
BINGHAM once expressed it. of living
in bottle and being fed with spoon.
Admiral PoRTER's subsequent service
and promotion are sufficient contra
diction to the BUTLER story, even if it
needed contradiction. Besides, the
calumny is barred by Limitation.

PRAIRIE-DOGS.
What a Visitor to One Of Their
"TOWns" Says of Them.

''Towns" Says of Them.
The prairie-dog is no more like dog
than he is like all elephant. Instead of
being carnivOrous canine, with danger
in his eye and treachery In his mind, he
is a prairie marmot. chubby, fat
paunched ground-squirrel, with short.
tail. He is the jOlliest little rodent un-
der the sun; he is as lively as cricket,
as watchful as weasel. and, to all ap-
pearances, as happy as the day is long.
While you are still some distance from
the town you see the inhabitants run
ming freely about. nibbling at roots and
blades of grass, and foraging at quite a
little distance from their respective
dwellings; but as soon as you show your
self within hundred yards of the mum
icipal suburbs, the alarm is quietly given
and every dog ScamperS for his burroW
as fast as his stumpv little legs can carry
him.
On reaching his open door, which is a
six inch hole running down through the
center of little mound like miniature
volcano with bOttOmleSs pit for era
ter, he poises himself ON the rim, stands
up on his hind-feet SO high and so
straight that he looks uncOmmonly like
a tent peg, and views the landscape DER.
When you get fairly into the town
the holes are found to be as thick as
apple trees in an orchard, and on each
of the mounds, excepting the very near
est, there will be prairie-dOg, yapping
away at you as if his whole life de
pended upon his bringing out hundred
and twenty yaps to the minute. Per-
haps twenty dogs will be barking in
dustriously at you in concert, with
twenty tails jerking systematically IN
unison and twenty pairs of eyes watch
ing you with keen interest.
As you slowly walk forward and cross
the imaginary dead line that the near
est dog has drawn around himself, he
dives head foremost into the bowels of
the earth, and his tail wrinkles merrily
from side to side as his hind feet dis
appear.
When you run forward and apply
your ear to the hole you hear an indis-
tinct, shutting sound, which grows
fainter and fainter. until it finally
ceases, and then you hear his jolly little
bark, ''Chit-tit-tit-tit!" come like a
smothered laugh from the regions be-
low.-Youth's Companion.

jewelers. Organize.

About twenty-five of the retail jewel
ers of Minnesota met at the Ryan last
evening to organize an association.
Their object is to combine against what
is termed illegitimate selling by jobbers
who go to the retailers customers and
undersell them. The opinion seemed
to be unanimous that too much of this
sort of thing has been going on, and the
only way to put stop to it was to COM
bine. The association will be of the
nature of mutual protective society,
and meetings will take place period
really. A meeting will be held at the
West hotel, Minneapolis, on May 20,
when permanent organization will be
effected and officers elected.

cided upon at the state department for
consul general at Paris. The appoint

however, that he will conclude to ac-

both an honor and profitable position.

MUST NOT RECOGNIZE 1T.
Royalty Cannot stand the French
Show

LONDON, May ct transpires that
Lord Lytton. the British ambassador to
France, was really DESTROYS of remain
ing in Paris to witness the opening of
the exposition, and plainly intimated
his wish to the foreign office. The
queen. however, commanded that his
lordship should withdraw from the
French capital, at the same time inform
ing Lord Salisbury that 1t would never
do for the minister of royal house to
participate in, or even countenance a
ceremony designed to commemorate the
overthrow of royalty. The Tory press
adopt similar view in their comments
upon the opening of the exhibition.
They profess to forgive the revolution
lists for their IebelliOuS acts, but do not
condone their excuses, nor do they
admit the benefits of the republican
form of government, which is the ulti-
mate result of that struggle. On the
whole. the Conservative press can see
no reason for the exposition, neither
can they bring themselves to the belief
that it will be otherwise than misera-
BILE failure.
