HR WILL RETURN TO THE SOUTH FOR TIE

1t seems hardly necessary to say any
thing Of the history OF Gen. b. F. Butler.
No man In the whole nation has been
more constantly in the public eye for the
last four decades than he. As success
ful lawyer and influential politician be.

the first to respond to the count,y's call
at the firing upon Fort Sumpter, as the

Represe ntative In Congress and leading
politician since the war, he has had pub
lie attention constantly focused upon
him. No man In, the country has receiv-
ed more praise and more abuse than he,
and no man has more warm, personal
friends and admirers. Many Of the
people OF the South have been : srlicular-
ly bitter sgsinst him, and have tried to
make his name the synonym for all that
was detestsble. He is now about to re-
turn good for evil, and heap Goals Of fire
upon the heads OF his detrsctors by a
great enterprise to help restore prosperity
to the region which suffered SO severely

cell miles) without curve. In this dis
tance there is not single bridge, and no
opening larger than an ordinary culvert,
no cut greater than one meter in depth,
and no fill of height exceeding one me-
ter. There is almost an entire absence OF
wood on the plain across which the West
crn end of the road is located. This has
led to the extensive use Of metallic ties,
which will be employed on nearly the en-
tire road.

WRITTEN ny MISS ANNIE LAUBACH.
Relentless death, hath shatched away,
A kind friend from our hearts.
All Sad indeed 1t was for us,
With our kind friend TO part.
Wen see her face on earth no more,
Now taken from our sight,
Butiher bright spirits gone TO dwell,
With God, in fadelcss light.
She took a cherished last fond look,
or oil that was so dear,
She bade her friends a last farewell,
But checked the rising tear.
Weeks, months, and years, may roll away
May roll away and die,
And every time we think Of her,
There will gush forth sigh.
We do not wish her back again,
To I'LL her vacant chair,
For she has ties above the skies,
She's gone to meet them there.
But let us by the many acts,
or Fannie's kindness, shown,
Prepare to die, prepare to meet,
Our friend, around Gods Throne.

Feed The Quail.

The winter has been very severe one
on the American quail. Where there has
been heavy snow fall the food these birds
eat ha. been covered, and they have been
left 20 starve. We hereby appeal to farm
ers and sportsmen everywhere in behalf
OF the helpless quail. The thing to do to
save them will be- to scatter grain in spots
sheltered from the snow, or II there are
no such spots then upon the snow ITSELF
This should be continued till the weather
becomes warmer. In the preservation
and increase Of the most popular game
bird OF America humanitarians who feed
the quail will have their reward.

Arrival of the Presidential Train in Washs
ington After It's Ten Thousand Mile Run.
Marked by Enthusiasm, Pleasure and In.
struction to It's Occupants All Along the
Route-One Hundred and Forty Speeches
Delivered by the President.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE grand
tour of President Harrison and party,
which began April IA last, ended at $50
o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the
presidential train came to standstill
in the Pennsylvania railroad station
exactly on time. The great journey OF
10, 600 miles had been accomplished
without an accident and without devia-
ton from the prearranged schedule,
except on one occasion.
BENJAMIN Harrison Mckee was the
first person to be greeted by the presi-
dent, who jumped from the platform OF
the train and clasped his grandson in
his arms. Little Mary Mckee was also
at the station.
Secretary Proctor, Secretary Foster
and Acknowledgement Miller, with sew
eral assistant secretaries and a number
of government officials, met the party
at the train. Only a few people were
at the station when the party arrived.
The president, Mrs. Harrison, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mckee and Mrs. Dimmicb were
driven directly to the White house,
while Mr.. and Mrs. Boyd took train
for Philadelphia.
The last day of the journey was the
quietest of the entire tour Rain fell
most of the time, and when the party
reached Washington it was pouring
down steadily. Between Washington
and Baltimore the members of the
party and the employees assembled in
the observation car and the president
made a short speech in which he
thanked all those who had accompanied
him for the courtesies extended. He
paid high compliment to Mr. George
w. Boyd, the genial passenger agent
of the Pennsylvania railroad, who had
charge of the train, for what he had
achieved in keeping them exactly to
the time schedule.
The president has delivered lao
speeche on the tour. His best record
for single day was yesterday, when
he talked to twelve different assem-
blages. The day before he made eleven
speeches.
