WILD Ducks AND GEEsE.-A cores
pondent ofthe Richmond Dispo'ca writ
ing from huntsville, says: The Rap
pahannock river is three and y half
miles wide st Belle View, the residence
of Mr.. f. NJ. Ware, and is frozen solid:
to prove which Mr.. Ware, with bis wife
walked across and back on the lG;b.
They had a delightful trip oft, and re-
port ilocks OF wild ducks coneresaiins
in the air-holts along The channel ot
the river. Mr.. Wac thinks he would
have had fine sport shooting them had
he only bethaught himself OF carrying
his gun. One hundred mallard ducks
are reported to have been on sale al
Warsaw on Monday the 10th. and TO-,
600 are said to be gathering about Nail
cr's hole. Wherever an air-break can
be found in the river there the ducks
may be found in crowds. Robert Hentz
day or so since drove Il flock of six
partridges up into the head of gully
aud picked them up. 1t seems they
were too cold to fly and literally starry
cd out. Several wild turkey gobbers
have been shot and killed during the
snow. Mr.. t. NJ. Ware and W. &. Gar
nett killed one each, fine large and
fat fellows, and are expecting to get
more.

A creo1e,s story of Butler.

John r. Elder, who recently returned
from trip to New Orleans, while speak
ing of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler the other
day, to an Indianapolis News reporter,
told the following story: Butler is still
heartily hated there, but the hatred is
not universal. have even heard some
native Louisianians speak well of him,
and there are number Of local anec-
dotes concerning him which have not
been in print that show that now and
gracious act. Among those who had
reason to change their views of Butler
was wealthy Creole named Maspereau.
sugar merchant and banker. He did
not go into the army, but his sympathies
were with the South. When Butler
took possession Masperean was greatly
alarmed about his portable property.
He had great quantity of silverware
which had been in the family through
several generations. His sisters also were
well supplied with this metal. Maspereau
was afraid of raiders, and packing up
all his silver, together with that of his sis
,ssput it on board vessel to ship it for
safety to New York. This came to the ears
of Butler. The vessel was not permitted
to sail, and Maspereau was sent for. He
entered the presence of Butler in fear
and trembling. Butler, in stern voice
asked why he was sending his plate away
and Maspereau told him for safety; that
he didn't think it secure in New Or
leans.
''You take that silver to the custom
house said Butler; it shall never be said
4. l. t. AL.
for safety while Gen. Butler is in COM
mand of this place.
'Maspereau, who told me this, said
that he did so, and the silver was taken
charge of and returned to him when
quiet was restored"

unless three days notice thatsuch ae-
ton was to be taken was given. The
original druggist bill being included in
the amendment offered by Mr.. Cover,
brought it under this rule. Mr.. Powers
then discussed the matter, opposing the
bills on the ground that legislation of
this character should not be snap
ped upon the legislature in its
closing hours and passed under whip and
spur. Mr.. Powers read letters he had
received from temperance men, includ-
ing one from Geo. E. Bracket of Bel
fast, protesting against the passage of
such legislation; and urging him to do
what he could to prevent the passage of
be put in in the hustle and hurry of the
last hours Mr. Powers believed that
the present town agency system if proper
~ conducted could be made efficient.
He had not been able to approve any of
the measures presented to permit the
sale of intoxicants by apothecaries.
Mr.. Woodbury. of Deering wanted the
bill and amendments made special as
signment for July 9Th next. Mr.. Wood
bury was opposed to the change in the
prohibitory law Intended in the bills.
Mr.. Weeks of Fairfield. who was oc-
cupying the speakers chair at the time,
said that the question was upon the
point of order raised under the rules by
the gentleman from Houlton if the gem
tleman insisted.
Mr.. Powers insisted.
Mr.. Weeks then made decision which
won him good deal applause and raised
a laugh, in which Mr.. Powers joined, at
Houltou. Mr.. Weeks said that the chair
was called upon to decide the point with
out opportunity to give the matter due
consideration but the chair would hold
that the question was properly before
the House and for this reason: the gem
tleman from Houlton, after making the
point Of order had himself proceeded to
discussion of the subject matter before
the point af order was decided.
MI. Cover, in reply to Mr.. Powers, als
luded to temperance people who did
favor the proposed legislation. Mr..
Cover thought that the matter might be
intelligently considered now, but he was
perfectly willing if that was the sense of
the House to leave the matter.
Mr.. Higgins of Limerick said that in
conjunction with the earnest friends of
temperance, the gentlemen from Bath
and Houlton, and as an admirer of many
ladies of the W. G. I. u, he would now
move the previous question.
The previous question was ordered
and, the amendments having been voted
down, the bill was indefinitely postponed
without division.
The State Tax.
The bills imposing the state tax for
1898 and 1894 came in this morning. For
1893 the rate is "a mills and the tax
1886, So3.29. For 1894, the committee has
lowered the rate to II mills, making the
tax $751;, 247.9s. It is believed that the
lowered rate will be sufficient, the legis-
lature having made ne very large special
appropriations. Cumberland county
will be taxed as follows:

AT The DAWES DINNER.
The New, Pastor of State Street Church
Makes Some Remarks.

Rev. Mr.. Jenkins, the new pastor of
State street church, was present at the
nner given to Senator Dawes at the
Vendome in Boston, Monday. Hon. W.
W. Grape presided and introduced Mr..
Jenkins as follows:
When I was Freshman at college I
was attracted by black haired, bright
eyed, active, enthusiastic Sophomore
who won my confidence there. Since we
left college he has spent good portion
of his time as spiritual guide and adj
wiser of Senator Dawes. The excellent
way in which he has kept our guest from
the perils and difficulties of Washington
life is the best evidence Of his ability
and wisdom. I ask you to listen to the
Rev. John L. jenkins. Applause.
Mr.. Jenkins said:
Mr.. President-I am glad to appear
honored guest. 1T is great glory to this
goodly old Commonwealth to have such
a man among it's public servants, for the
wealth of a state is in it's men. The poet
Ramsay says you cannot build a state of
forts and of arsenals, but you can build
a state of men. They are the only mate
rails out Of which Commonwealth can
be made. What Mr.. Dawes has been in
public life you all know. But you don't
know what good neighbor he has been.
After all mans strength is in his
home. Some of you know the charming
life Of his home and family. He has
lived in that community until he has
been received into the hearts of his neigh
bors. He will be the same charming and
modest man during these days of his
quiet life that | have known him to be
for is years, and til Q end of the man is
peace. [Applause.l
