The Neshaminy creek, in Pennsyl-
vania, in rainy seasons fills the bitches
of adjacent farms with water from
eighteen inches to two feet deep.
After recent downpour three boys
went fishing up the creek and in a
ditch the boys espied three huge carp
Hopping about. One of the boys
jumped into the ditch and seized the
largest fish. The carp, nearly as big
as the boy, had the advantage Of be-
ing in his native element, and plunged
through the water and mud until the
boys on shore thought that their com
panioD would surely be drowned. But
at last the fish grew so weak from its
great efforts that the boys dragged it
out upon the bank and there held it
until it ceased to struggle. Then
they luggcd their trophy home. put it
on the scales and found that it
weighed thirty-two pounds.

The death of Benjamin Franklin But Ter removes from the stage of public life picturesque and peculiar, one might almost say a unique, personality, which has played various parts thereon for half century. Certain it is that his parallel would puzzle any Plutarch to find even in the long list of demagogs from Cleon down the ages to his own time of action. A man of great native force, unbounded self-conffdence, instant readiness of action, generous impulses, and broad humanity he possessed no appreciable background of principle, no proper mental discipline and no trust worthy moral balance or direction.

GEN BUTLER WAS NO SOLDIER,

but he was an administrator of a type which has it's place in the conditions of war, and is out of order in times of peace, as his years work as governor of Massachusetts showed. He was never called statesman save by the New York Sun and the greenback party, yet he sometimes by intuition divined the way of statesmanship, though he could never walk in it. It is matter for re- gret that so much capacity, so warm a patriotism, so indefatigable industry, so rare an attractivencss for his fellows, had not been matched with that serious honor of character which wonld have made him one of the foremost men of New England and the nation, and left Massachusetts proud of him instead of, at best, apologetic for him. There is this to be said besides, that in his per. sonal relations, in his home, with his family and with his friends, Gen Butler was not open to unfriendiy criticism He made friends moreover without re- gard to political differences, and his friends were faithful to him, but this if Buffers due.

showed, although he was defeated, that he was really the choice of the democrat ic party of the state, for while Thomas Talbot, the republican candidate, receiv- ed more than 130, votes, Butler had nearly ,000, and Judge Josiah c. Ab- bolt, who ran as democrat in opposit- ion, had less than 10000. The next year Butler, with the same nominations, was defeated by John D. Long, John Quincy Adams being the Faneuil hall candidate. In 1882 the democratic party united in support of Butler and he was elected, having over l34, 900 votes.
 HIS ADMINISTRATION OF THE OFFICE
 was marked by many extraordinary per formances and sensational exposures, which nevertheless resulted in a small measure of reform,-or as some pious souls remarked, were aoverruled for good" He undoubtedly struck at real evils, but so confused them with side is- sues, personal animosities and acranky'' assaults that this could hardly be seen at the time. The Tewksbury.: state alms- house mismanagement was brought to an end through his investigations amid great scandal, whose effects are not yet dissi- pated. It seemed as though Gen Butler regarded his New Orleans methods as models to follow in Massachusetts,. An. incidental result was the disuse of

 While he had abundant opportunity in the course of the war, holding com mand for nearly the whole period, he never showed military skill, but achiev- ed rarely rivaled reputation for blum ders; yet at the same time he did strike the keynote of the conflict in his famous "contraband letter on the Peninsular; :; and it fell to his lot, both at the outset of the war in Maryland and later in New Orleans, through his daring and decis- ion, to produce such impressions of the national purpose and resolve as were cer- taiuly necessary for effect in the South and the North.

HE RESIGNED HIS COMMAND

to Gen N. P.

He had es- tablished considerable body of negro soldiery during his command in New Or leans.
 On his return to the North Gen Butler was everywhere received with great hon. or. Congress presented him one of the captured swords of Gen Twiggs. Balti- more gave him great banquet. At New York in February, 1863, he ad- dressed large meeting in favor of the emancipation proclamation, for he had grown radical on that point, not from philnthropic regard for the negro, but from observation of the evil effects of the institution on the South.

 In 1871 Gen Butler sought the republi. can nomination for governor, but was de feated by W. B. Washburn.
