A Story About Senator Buffers Uncle

One of the most interesting men in
national politics is Gen. NJ. C. Butler of
South Carolina He comes of one of the
Oldest families in the Palmetto state, and
his uncle, Pierce Butler, was senator in
congress while the man of wnom I write
was a boy. The uncle was very distin-
guished-looking, and was power in the
deliberations of our highest legislative body
at a time when it was filled with great
men. His nephew, who has succeeded him,
occupies an equally eminent position in an
aSsemblage that hardly compares with the
gathering of intellectual giants that sat in
the senate chamber during the mighty
events of 1850. Those wno knew his uncle
say that the present senator has much of his
self-polse, fertility of mind, and integrity of
purpose.
As l saw Senator Butler at the Hoffman
house last night, an interesting political
reminisceuce was recalled to me. But for
an act of kindness by Pierce Butler, which
after generations came back to bless the
nephew, the present senator from South
Carolina might never have held a seat in
the Senate. The circumstance occurred
when Gen. Simon Cameron was a second
time elected United States senator. The
late Gov. Bigler was then his colleague.
He made an effort to induce the Senate to
investigate the charges that Mr. Cameron
had secured his election bv bribery He
called the matter up one day, and made a
speech detailing the allegations. and asking
the Senate to take cognizance of
them. Pierce Butler espoused Gen Cam
eron's cause, and made speech in which
he said that the Senate of the United States
was not the place in which the state of
Pennsylvania could wash its dirty linen,
aud moved that the resolution for an in
vestigation be not agreed to. The Senate
followed Buffers lead, and Cameron's title
to his seat was not contested. When the
vote was announced that settled the CON
troversy, Butler walked over TO where Gen.
Cameron sat, aud said:
Now, Simon, you ought to send me a
bottle of whisky with which to celebrate
this occasion"
by the life, Butler" replied Cameron,
''Pll send you barrel of the best made in
Pennsylvania

PITTsBURG, PA, Dec 29.-There is on @

solemn vow that never again will he do
the gallant for a pretty woman, even
though she be in dire distress. His last
experience in that line cost him SO, 600

richly attired, walked into his store, and

an actress, and would like to borrow a little
money!

smiling; "what security have you?"

The door of a private office was opened
and the beauty entered. She soon came
out and held a jeweled garter in her hand.
Ii was worth about $50. A little converse

The girl started TO go. She got as far as
the door, turned, and, blushing fiery red,
said; If you please, have you a piece of

The unsuspecting pawnbroker took a

store. The girls at the counter laughed at

CARTE into his pocket and hurried back to
his store. 1t was empty, and about s., 900

been taken. He forgot the paper parcel in
his pocket and went home poorer and

the death of her brother who had passed
away In paralysis, she spoke OF her premo-
nitions again. Her fears now amounted To
an absolute conviction, and she spoke of
her end by paralysis as an event certain to
take place. None Of the endeavors of her
husband to turn her thoughts to a more
cheerful subject could avail. She quietly
insisted on arranging with him her business
and other affairs. She put her house in per-

Marketmen Protest.

N. G. Ordway, president of the
Centre Market Company, has called
the attention of the Commissioners to
the crowded condition of the street and
passage from Seventh street to the
market since the cable cars have COM
menced stopping opposite the passage.
Horses backed up to the curbstone on
the Seventh. street wing fill up the
street so that the heads of the horses
are only three feet from the cars, leav-
ing no chance for vehicles and indi-
viduals to pass. Mr.. Ordway suggests
that the Arabs and travelling hucksters
who block up the curbstone on the
south side of B street, opposite the
market, and who do not pay licenses,
should not be allowed to crowd out the
regular teams used at the market.

NEwsBoYs AT THE CIRCUS.
The Washington "Post'' Treats The
IN N EraN Ghoxv

The Washington "Post" Treats Them
TO Free Show.
There were hundreds Of boys at the
circus last night. This Is nothing un-
usual, but these particular boys were
white and black, big and little, ragged
and neat, and they represented the
newsboys Of the city. They were there
as the guests of the Post, our enterprls-
ing morning contemporary, and the ears
of the able publishers Of that paper
must have tingled last night, for there
was no lack of praise for their generos-
ity by the boys.
There were ten wagon loads of the
boys, and they went in style with
band leading them. Each of them wore
little blue badge which were the ad-
mission tickets to the great show.
They had a whole section of the
amphitheatre, extending from the main
entrance TO the entrance to the dressing
room, and they completely filled the
space allotted them. The boys we're as
decorus as could be expected under the
circumstances and they extracted triple
the enjoyment out of the occasion than
If they had had to part with their hard
earned pennies to witness 1t.
1t was a great night for the Post, and
a bigger night for the newsboys, whose
only regret Is that the circus does not
come more frequently, in order that
they may enjoy the hospitality of the
paper they serve.

The Colonel, who Is sustained In what

known to exist in the city, and he has
appealed to the press to aid In the fight.
He is also anxious to see the laws of the
District so amended as to assist the
