AN DGt1vD " @88y W ~*@'st
Interesting Chapters.
NEw YORK, March 9.--Gen. Benjamin
Il. Buffers forthcoming "Reminiscences"
are about ready for publication and the
author Is busy revising the last proof
sheet The book will be remarkable
There are i,200 pages TO the volume,
octave In size, and IL contains 200 orig
inal illustrations. The first edition viii
consist OF 100, 900 copies. IL will be pub
llshed simultaneously in England,
France and Germany, and the transla-
tions will also be for sale In this country.
AS all the world knows, the one dream
OF conquest that Butler had was the an
nexation of Mexico and the annexation
of Canada 10 the United States. This
will form a striking and interesting
chapter Ia the forthcoming work. An
other chapter OF much interest will be
that relating TO Gen. Buffers idea OF
uniting the two oceans through a ship
canal. He had such plan In mind before
DE Lesseps ever. dreamed OF his great
canal project Butler appreciated the
fact that England was very aggressive
and was trying 10 enlarge It's territories
all over the globe, and he thought II
would be necessary for the United States
10 control this canal II such n waterway
could be built
Another chapter OF the book that will
be read with interest, and no doubt ere
ate much discussion, will be the authors
relations 10 President Lincoln, Secretary
seward, Gen. Grant, and others; also his
own views Of our civil war, the mistakes
that were made, and his many inter
views with the leading men OF the coun-
try on how to suppress armed secession.
In fact. the book will be an epitome OF
the history OF the United states
from the time Gen. Butler first entered
upon the scene of action down TO to-day.
He has spent much time and labor VERT
flying nil his facts.
