WHY BENJAMIN LAUGHS.

BEN BUTLER is the most elated man
in the United States over the admission
of the four new states. He owns the
only bunting factory in the United
States. and consequently furnishes the
government with all its flag material.
On the 4th of next July tile old flag
of thirty-eight stars will go into innocu-
GUS deseutude, and new star-spangled
banner, with forty-two twinkles, will
take its place. Seeing that flag must
be hoisted On every government build
ing in the land, and on every American
ship on the seas, Gen. BUTLER's bunt-
ing factory is going to be kept pretty
busy from low until July. When Gen.
BUTLER was trayersiDg the country
last fall eXhorting the voters to sustain
the doctrine of protecting industries, he
kept his cock eye all the time on that
monopoly he had in bunting manufact-
uring. When quite little child his
mother was heard to remark to neigh
Dor woman: ''BENJAMIN is homely, but
he is aWfully peart.'

'sThe moment of decision is one of is

In what saddened tone the sentence
was spoken is only known by those who
heard it. We know that it was sad
from the context. "There is a great
sense of loneliness in the discharge of
high public duties. The moment OF de-
cision is one of isolation. But there is
One whose help comes even into the
quiet chamber of judgment, and to His
wise and unfailing guidance will look
for direction"
1t is fortunate for Gen. HARRISON
that he puts his faith in Providence. for
if he pinned it to BLAINE and the rest

would be overpowering beyond all help.

POLITICAL currents change most
easily in the new region. Washington

so astonishingly last fall because SO
many people were mad about certain

all be with the Republicans hereafter,

they have the Democrats. Both OF them

THE singular fact is shown in the
statistics lately published that divorces
are more common in staid and conserv-
ative New England than in the West.
1t is assumed also that the divorces in
the East are generally obtained by the
man, and by the woman in the West.
In the former, when the wife fails to
make good pies'o bnrns the beans, the
man easily is able to supply her place
with one more active and efficient. In
the West, women are few and have
their own way. If the husband gets
into the soup financially, he can be
thrown over and new man taken into
the firm.
