accompany the president, and oblige.
This request was read to the committee
on arrangements yesterday morning, and
the sense of that body seemed to be that
it should be unequivocally respected. In
the course Of an informal talk the opinion
was expressed that as the president had
deviated from his intended course in order
to please the people Of Seattle they should
afford him the partial rest that freedom
from large gathering might give him.

NEW YORK, Dec 29.-The yigor displayed
by Gen. Butler in his recent lecture on
Wendell Phillips suggests that he has en-
tireiy recovered his health, so that he-will
be able to complete his memoirs very soon.
With the exception of David Dudley Fled,
who is some ten years older, Gen. Butler
Is probably the hardest working man OF
his years in the country. He is now in his
seventy fourth year, and seems TO have
overcome the tendency to i'll health which
a year or two ago seemed to threaten him.
He is busy in his professional work, and
while he does not live on the cars so much
as he did at one time, yet scarcely month
passes when he is not both in Washington
and New YORK, as well as attending to his
Boston law business.
To those who do not know what his ca
pacity for continuous and steady work IS
nor how admirable are his methods OF
/ labor it would seem impossible that SC
| busy a lawyer should find the time to com
/ pile large volume of memoirs. But Gen

tributed a silver cup, but his colleagues
contented themselves with cash donations.
In due course Senator Henderson was com
