How Gen. Butler Aided the Girls.

Gen. Butler was 90 years of age when
he was admitted to the bar. AS a law
student he had been n hard worker as
well as a quick scholar, and his mem
DRY and application were equally great.
Before his admission to the bar he had
practiced little in the police court Mt
Lowell, conducting suits brought by
factory girls against mill corporations
for wages withheld on one pretense or
another, and glad enough to earn an
occasional fec of So. The advice which
the aspiring limb of the law gave to
the mill girls of Lowell on the occasion
of a strike was an incident of his early
legal days which made him well re-
garded by the mill owners.
Two or three thousand of the mill
girls assembled in grove to discuss
their grievances. The young lawyer
accepted an invitation to address them,
and gave them sound advice, admit
ting the justice of their claims, but ad-
vising them to return to work and
strive, either by remonstrance or APP
peal to the legislature, to secure shorter
hours and better pay. This advice
caused the girls to return to work.

Banking Checks.

A check should be banked with a
reasonable diligence after it comes into
the receivers hands. Business men
are sometimes very careless about this
matter, and suffer loss by the failure
of the party ON whose account the
check is drawn. A Maine firm recently
lost 81, 900 by holding a check one day.
If they had banked it on the day. they
received it they would have been all
right. A check came to the Norway
National bank which had been out ten
years. The signer had long since gone
out of business, and closed his account
with the bank. His attention was
called to the check, and notwithstand-
ing that he was not legally held for its
payment, as it had become outlawed,
he passed out $50, and took it up
