Aunique Position.
General Butler was q delegate to the
Chicago convention of 1854 aud very
prominent candidate for the nomina-
tion. He had already been nominated
| for president Oh the anti-monopoly aud
greenback tickets. and had pledged
| himself To run whether he received the
| democratic nomination or not.
Never before had IL been in the hands
OF one man TO defeat the democratic
nominee, vet people confidently AS
| sarted that unless the democrats nomi-
mated Butler IN 1884 he would defeat
| the democrats nominee by running Al
an independent candidate. Never be.

ceived the presidential nomination Il
two parties and been q delegate-elect tc
a third. Butler was the first man IL
American politics to represent thu
novel state of things, being the nomi

list parties. 1t 10 safe to say there wa

Butler. In some people the mer'
name of Butler produced the feeling
of disgust which the thought of SOM

cislly the workingmen and the younge

chieanery eliminated from the politi
cal system-he was regarded almost q
Messiah. Yet in 1884 he only DIRE,

"In an art exhibition of London"
wrote the shah of Persia in the journal
he kept during his last visit to Europe,
1--WE were looking at a painting repre-
senting an ass. asked: What is the
price of this painting?' The director of
the exhibition, who was a corpulent
man. with a white beard, looked up
the price-list. and said: One hundred
English pounds which are equal 70
two hundred and fifty Persian toiran.
answered; The price Of q live ass Is
at the most five pounds; why should
this be so dear when It is only the pic
ture of an ass7' The director replied:
because IL causes no expense and eats
neither hay nor oats. ! said: Although
Il causes no expense, IL can, on the
other hand, neither carry burdens nor
give u man a ride We both laughed"

The BILL introduced IN the House by
Mr.. Gam and passed by that body for
the prevention OF wife beating, has had
q varied experience. When It Yves sent
to the Senate Tor concurrence 1t was
passed, but the vote was afterwards
RECONSTRUCTED and the hill referred back
to the committee, where 1t now Is.
This bill has caused considerable dis
cussion, but the great majority of re-
spectacle people are very much In
favor OF its passage, as they believe 1t
Is the only radical cure for this brutal
business, which seems to BIO on tho
Increase.
1t IL entitled "An Act to Prevent
Wife Beating" and the full text Is as
follows:
Bs 1t enacted by the Senate and
House OF Representative of the State
OF Delaware, in General Assembly
met:
Section /. That any person who
shall brutally assault and beat his
wife, shall he deemed guilty of mis-
demeanor and upon Indictment there
for and conviction hereunder by the
Court Of the General Sessions OF the
Peace and Jail Delivery, shall be
sentenced to be whipped. not exceed
ing forty lashes, OF be imprisoned for
a term. not less than 80 days or more
than one year, OIL both In the discre.
ton Of the said Court.
IL will bs noticed that tho object OF
the bill Is not SO much the punishment
OF vile beaters as it is to break up the
practice entirely. Din other places
where similar law has been enforced
wife heaters have become scarce. and
II might be well to try 1t in this State.
Bad discusses require heroic remedies,
and wife beating Is one of the evils to
which this will apply. AS 1t is only

terday morning. For long time the
officers have been endeavoriIig to break
up tho gang OF loafers who congreGate
at Front and West streets, and about O
week ago warrants were issued for the
arrest OF the offenders. The result
was that five were arrested. When
Patrolman Hershock approached Jos.
Welsh he informed him that he had q

The patrOlman says he placed
Welsh under arrest. but he broke
away from him and ran into Lawrence
Burris' blacksmith ship and out again
Into the stable OF Michael Riley. As he
was about to escape by side door the
officer merely touched him with his
club. This was the cause of the su 1t.

On the day of the arrest Patrolman
Leach was present. Welsh said to
him: Look how that man beat me"
Leach examined the prisoners head
but found not even an abrasion OF the
skin. Welsh was afterward fined for
corner lounging and disorderly CON
