FOUR coon BUTLER STORIES.

A man named Andrews was brought
before Butler in New Orleans. You
are charged" said Butler. with having
exhibited a breastpin in the Louisiana
Club, claiming that it was made from
the thighbone of Yankee killed on the
Chickahominy. Did you exhibit such
breastpinP" Yes, sir, l was wearing
it." IBID you say 1t was made from the
thighbone of Yankee?" Yes, but
that was not true, General" "rhen
you added lying to your other accomp-
lishments in trying to disgrace the honor
of your country. | sentence you to hard
labor on the Island for two years "
A sewing circle of aristocratic, Yankee
hating Southern women had been at
work ON Confederate flag which was to
be sent to the Prussian battalion fighting
in Beauregard's army. The General
was kept fully informed of the progress
of the making of the flag. When it was
finished he sent for one uf the ladies and
said II want y Confederate flag, and
hear that you have a fine one. The Sun.
day school children up in my town are
going to celebrate the Fourth of July,
and rs they have never seen a Confeder-
ate flag | want to send them nice one"
The lady held up her hanhs and pro-
J6SIeu. vi, uuJ, my uOdi hh"u"uiOi
said Butler, ''you slept last night with
that flag under your pillow. Take my
carriage and bring it to me-" She meek
ly brought it, and Butler said: Don't
make another; this will be plenty"
In 1863 Butler was ordered to the com
mand of the Department of Virginia.
AS he drove to Norfolk along with the
Brigadier in command he noticed that
in all quarters of the town except those
in which finer residences were, the flag
of the Union was flying. ''Why, Smith,"
he said to the Brigadier, 'you have sue
ceeded in making loyal town of this"
eyes," was the reply, "'they have
hoisted the flag. You see, l refused to
issue a license to any saloon keeper who
W ,uld not hoist the stars and stripes, and
it was a hard one on the rebs but the
thirsty ones came to it and now they
walk under it many times day.
Butler was absolutely without sense of
fear. When he entered Baltimore they
were soaking wet from a drenching rain
fall. Presently Captain Farmer of Low
ell reported: General, have been in
formed that this hill Federal Hil). is
mined and that we shall all be blown up"
"Well, Captain, said Butler, there will
be one comfort in that. We shall at least
get dry. "-BOston Journal.

IRISH HnmERuLE.

From the synopsis of the bill which is
under discussion in the British Parlia-
ment, it would appear much like that
which Mr.. Gladstone offered in 1886.
Such changes as there are, are in favor of
greater freedom in local government.
The Imperial Parliament is to retain its
control of all matters which relate to the
Empire or TO Ireland as a part of it. The
local government is to consist of legis
lative body and the Queen as represented
through Lord Lieutenant. The legis-
ilative body, however, is to differ from
that of the 1886 bill in one important
respect. As now proposed, it is to con-
sist of first and second order, but in
stead of the two celebrating together.
they are to sit and vote separately. CUES
tions upon which the two bodies do not
agree are TO be referred to joint com
mittee, and if not tremendously settled
by that they are to be referred to the
people. The principle of the referendum
is thus introduced. The upper House is
to consist of l03 members, 70 OF whom
are elective and 2S of whom are peers,
and to whom property qualification !.
taches; the lower House is to consist or
2O4 members, who are to be chosen by
the existing constituencies, two OF each.
Land legislation and the police ard judi
ciary are to remain in control of Parlla-
ment for period of five years. Ireland
is forbidden the adoption of any legisla-
ton which would restrict or interfere
with any religion or abridge the rights of
adherents of any church or creed From
the synopsis given the measure would
appear as full as the Irish people could
expect under the circumstances. While
the control of the land and police are not
turned over at once, provision is made
for this as soon as Ireland has prepared
itself for tax. ng it in hand. At the same
time. the Irish landowner cannot claim
that he will be placed at the mercy OF
his enemies The Irish representatives
are to continue at Westminster To vote
upon Imperial questions, so that the OBJ
lection to their having hand in matters
affecting only England is met, while the
complete separation of Ireland and Eng

1t has been truly said that half the
world does not know. how the other half
lives. Comparatively few OF us have
perfect health, owing to the impure con-
dition OF our blood. But we rub along
from day to day, with scarcely a thought
unless forced to our attention, of the
thousands all about us who are suffering
from scrofula. salt rheum and other seri-
Gus blood disorders, and whose agonies
can only be imagined, The marked sue
cess of Hoods Sarsaparilla for these
troubles. as shown in our advertising
columns frequently, certainly seems to
justify urging the use of this excellent
medicine by all who know that their
blood is disordered. Every claim in be-
half of Hoods Sarsaparilla is fully backed
up by what the medicine has done and Is
still doing, and when its proprietors urge
its merits and its use upon all who sut-
fer from impure blood, in great o: small
degrees, they certainly mean to include

Books aud pictures are favOrite selec-
lions and may be purchased at any and
all prices, writes Frances E. Lanigan in
an article on "The Valentines of To-
dav'' in the February LDdies' Home Jour
nal. Of course, volumes of poems and
love stories lend themselves more read
ily as appropriate to the season than es
SAYS or histories, but any favorite book
cannot fail to please. Photographs,
etchings, engravings and water colors
are framed daintily in white and gold or
white and silver, and make charm
ing offerings at the shrine of st Valen-
tine. Frames of silver for card photo
graphs are heart shaped, and come sing
ly or in pairs. Many are engraved with
notices. Owen Meredith's: do not
think that years leave us and find us the

from the old Scotch ballad: Fine pic
ture suit in frames as fine" surround
the picture OF the maiden who sends this
gift to her "Valentine." Jewelry will
always be in vogue for valentine pres
ents. Rings, pendants and pins are the
most usual of selections: jewelers. also
show an endless variety of purses, card
cases, bonbonnieres and vinaigrettes in
shining silver. Pincushions come also
in many shapes; novelty in these is
made from two large silver hearts join
ing a cushion of velvet, which is in
tended as receptacle for bonnet pins.
Writing tablets, portfolios for stationery,
glove boxes. photograph cases are all
welcome gifts to any girl sweetheart, as
they may be kept in daily use as remind
ers of the absent fGncee. Sachets for
handkerchiefs, wells, laces and gloves are
extensively used. They are made from
gauze, boiling cloth, silk, satin or leather
and embroidered with appropriate de
signs. They range in price as high as
twenty dollars, and many of them are
] hand painted.

The Noses Newton shoe Company.

The VALLEY Times at Wilmington has
letter from Chas. s. Chase of Whiting
ham 1.-THE Bennington county court re-
porter, giving particulars of this com
pany, which are of interest in connec-
ton with the proposal to move to Ben
nington, as noted in another item. Mr..
Chase saws; "At the time of the fire
there were about 5000 pairs of shoes
completed and about 1000 pairs more
nearly so that would have been shipped
Feb. LIST and as many more in process.
There was also stock for over 400 dozen
pairs for which we had orders and upon
which the cutters were to begin the very
morning of the fire, as we had just com
pleted the inventory the night before,
which inventory shows over Sl6,OOO
worth of goods and stock in factory.
The machinery stood at the time of the
fire at over $4,000 and the building over
$4,000 with about 81 900 more for boiler,
mining. etc. AS stated we hold insur-
ance Of $4,000 on building, $4,000 on ma
chinery and $1,000 on stock, making
81. 900 in all. y The management
of this sine business has been hard
fight, yet | am glad to state that since
the Moses Newton Shoe Co. has operated
the business it has been successful. For
the first year we hardly held our own
but when the inventory was taken six
months ago we thought we had reached
the turning point which proved to be so,
as the inventory completed just before
the fire shows profit over and above all
expenses and possible shrinkages OF be-
tween $1,000 and $1,000. We have got
together as fine set of operatives as
could be found in New England and had
orders for all the work that could be
made, so that we thought the future
nrospect very BRIGHT"

The treasurer writes that they could start
with orders so as to begin with 200 men.
1t seems to us that here is an opp0rtu-
nitv that ought not to be allowed to
lapse. There are at least two places IN
town that would furnish power and
buildings ready to occupy by such a
mandatory. And one man at least is
willing to pu in his shops, if others Will
invest money. The Messrs. Newton are
backing the enterprise over the noun
tain, and would not do so here. 1t then
follows that part of the capital at least
must be had here if we get the Company
to move. Shall it be done? There Is
money enough here, and the only ques-
ton is whether to invest at home or west.
