Admiral Porter is in his grave but Gen
Butler in his just published book still pur
sues his old antagonist with vituperatio1
and abuse. He refers to the Admiral
alleged ''villainous" statements and reit-
crates the charge of cowaldice. To al
which Admiral Porter son, with becom-
ing dignity and pride, simply replies
During the war my father received foul
votes OF thanks from Congress for conspic-
uous conduct. " Mr.. Porter's answer
covers the case.

Lee and Shepard are about to bring out
a remarkable book under the title
dreams of the Dead The story is a
most realistic one, yet Poe never wrote a
more weird and gruesome tale. The most
astonishing experiences are related in the
most matter of-fact way. The book deals
with the occult, and treats of other than
material things. The author holds that
those whom a materialistic judgment calls
|
the form of these dreams, he has yelled
the teaching of great truth. The book
is entirely original, and maintains very
high tone from beginning to end. No one
can read it, especially if they read between
the lines, without becoming a better man
or woman. The author, who is we'll known
and active in industrial reform, writes I'M
| der nom de ptotn'e, and great deal of in
terest has been aroused among those who
have read the advance sheets, as to his
identity.
