'Old Ben Butler is dead! Early
yesterday morning the angel OF
death, acting under the Devils
orders, took him from earth and
landed hin in hell. In all this
Southern country there are no
tears. no signs and no regrets.
He lived only too long. We are
glad he has at last been removed
from earth and even pity the
Devil the possession he has
secured. If there is a future Of
peace in store for Ben Butler.

Bible is a lie. If hell be only as
black as the Good Book describes
it, then there are not the degrees
Of punishment in which some
Christians so firmly believe. he
has gone, and from the sentence
which has already been passed
upon him there is no appeal. He
is already so deep down in the
pit of everlasting doom that he
eouldn'tget the most powerful
ear trumpet conceivable to scien-
lists and hear the echoes of old
Gabriel's trumpet, or fly a a mill

st. Peter, who stands guard at
Heavens gate. In our statute
books many holidays are ecreed.
1t was an egregious oversight
that one on the occasion of the
death Of Ben Butler was not
foreordained. The Beast is
dead. The cymbals should beat
and the tin horn should get in its

Such vile and Infamous spleen

ATHENS, April 1.-THE island OF
Zante, one OF the principal Ionian
Islands, was visited by most de-
structive earthquake this morning, re-
aulting in great loss OF life and prop
erty. The shock appears to have been
the most violent in the city OF Zante,
the greater portion OF which was de-
atroyed. The people were panic stricken
and the authorities helpless. The
streets are impossible, being filled with
masses OF stone and timber, tho wreck
age OF houses which were thrown down
by the earthquake, Thus far tho bodies
OF twenty persons killed by falling
walls have been removed from the de-
bris, and it is feared that many more
dead are still in the ruins. The num-
Der OF persons injured runs up into tho
hundreds. Everything is in confusion,
and the work OF searching for bodies
and for the injured cannot be pursued
systematically.
The greater portion OF the inhabitants
have fed to tho plains back Of the city,
whore they wander about in distracted
manner bewailing the loss OF their
homes and property. A large number
OF tents that were taken to Hante 10
shelter the people who were rendered
homeless by the last earthquake have
been again set up, and under them some
OF tho women and children have taken
refuge. The city presents scene OF
desolation. and it is doubtful il it ever

The shock occurred ut 1880 Il. m. Most
OF the buildings that stood erect after
the shocks OF February and March were
either thrown down or shattered 80 us
TO be unsafe for occupancy. The church
OF Dionysius and the government offices
were thrown down,
Advices from tho interior show that
the whole island has been devastated.
Many villages have been destroyed and
it is thought that the loss OF life has
been very great. Tho full extent Of tho
calamity cannot be estimated at pres
ent, owing to the destruction OF the
telegraph lines. War ships will be dis
patched from the Piraeus with cloth
ing, provisions and medicines for the
sufferers.
sit is pointed out here that tho Zante
disaster is a confirmation of the predic-
ton few days ago by Prof. Falb, who
predicted at tho time Of the former
earthquakes that disturbances moro
serious than tho recent ones would oc-
cur between April 10th and 18th. His
prediction has proved true for this
mornings shock is the worst that has
over visited Zante, which ia noted for
its earthquakes.

Of Auburn prison this morning, He
was armed with sharp knife used in
cutting broom corn, and first attacked
Charles Peck, a fellow convict from
Westminster county, leaving him dead
in his tracks. He next fatally stabbed
Britton, a convict, and wounded two
others before he was shot at by keeper
and surrendered. Tho blade entered
Brllton's stomach, and he now lies in

1t is thought he will die. johnson
stabbed right and left while no was at
liberty, and several other conyicts sui
fered severe cuts.
The blade OF Johnson's knife was
broken OIL during the melee and can
not be found, He directed vicious
blow at Keeper Mitchell after the blade
had been broken, but it did not pene-
trate his clothing, The keeper drew
his revolver, but just as he was about
to pull the trigger somebody hit his
arm and tho ball went wide Of its mark.
1t frightened Johnson into surrender
ing, however. and he made no further
resistance. Peck came to his death by
a wound in the breast which penetrated
the heart. The autopsy showed q cash
in the heart in which finger could BIO
inserted. The cause OF the trouble is
said to be an old grudge held by John.

shop and he had made threat that as
soon as Captain Baker had day off
would do up the shop. Baker was not
on duty to-day and johnson started in
early to carry his threat into execution,
