BUTLER TOO ORIGINAL.
Why Ben Was Relieved Of His Com

Boston Advertiser.

BOSTON AQNeTtISGF.
Colonel Woodwork told some good stories
about General Butler. He said that Butler
himself told as late as 1884 that he never
knew the real rea son why he was deprived
of his military command by General Grant.
1t was only. a few years ago that Wood
worth got the facts from Grants brother
in-law Major Dent, who was. the staff
officer sent with the order for Buffers re-
lief. He said that while no reason was
openly given at the time Butler was
actually displaced because he was not a
graduate of West Point. This would not
appear on the face of it to be sufficient
cause. but Grant explained 1t to Dent one
day in the course of a confidential inter-

HOW IS II?
Have You Swallowed Catarrhal
Poison Until Your Stom-
ach Is Practically
Ruined.
Observe How Easy 1t Is for the Whole
System to Become Affected From the
Poisonous Iucus Being Taken Into
the Stomach.

Catarrh is very common disease, but, never
theless few understand its nature or the cor
rect method OF treatment. ii patients will care
fully read this brief lecture from Drs. Cope
land, VIM and Neal they can readily under
stand how eatarrh, beginning back of the soft
palate, readily extends up into the ears ana
eyes, causing ear and eye trouble, frontal neu-
ralgia, etc., and also how it extends down the
throat into the bronchial tubes and stomach,
causing chronic bronchitis, dyspepsia, etc.
Thousands OF people are nightly swallowing
poison and do not know it. With nasal catarrh
there is usually fullness or pain in.front of the
head, the nose is stopped up, there is frequent
blowing of the nose or hawking to dislodge the
mucus. The mucus frequently drops down in
to the throat, and there is constant hawking
to throw it out.
At night the process goes on just the same,
but quantities of the poisonous mueus finds its
way through the esophagus to the stomach
This mucus rests long enough in the throat TO
mix with the foul air returning from the lungs,
and becomes even more vlllainous ana deadly
than before. In this condition 1t is swallowed,
laden with the germs of decomposition.
The foul mucus is poison-not quick poison

health. 1t spreads itself out over the walls OF
the stomach and obstructs the deposit OF gas
trio juice. 1t covers the food and prevents the
Juices OF the stomach that are secreted from
acting upon and digesting 1t. Instead OF Oh
gestion there is decomposition. In other words,
the food ferments and decays in the stomach
gases are formed and distend the stomach,
causing pain and belching. The blood takes
up the poison and the whole system becomes
charged with the deadly products of decay.
Health is impossible under such conditions.
The breath becomes foul. the tongue coated.
Large quantities Of the foul mucus are often
vomited up in the morning. Headaches, dull,
heavy feeling, indisposition to act, pains about
the heart, appetites varying from ravenous to
disgust for food. The liver becomes torpid, tne
kidneys refuse to dispose OF the awful LOAD that
is thrown upon them and if the trouble is not
stopped, soon or late there will be general
breakdown.

trouble Cure the catarrh! The cures which
Drs. Copeland, VIM and Neal have performed
in the Oldest and most aggravated cases, cases
in many instances pronounced hopeless and
ineurable by other physicians, have attracted
the attention, not only of the public, but OF the
medical profession everywhere.

Q man and ENG in his more mature years. Sir

man and king in his more mature years. Sir
Robert Vernon utters a fine description to
Hotspur of the Prince of Wales as he looked on
the eve OF the battle of Shrewsbury:
] saw young HarTy-with his beaver up,
His cuisses on his thighs, CALAMITY arm'd-
Rise from the ground like feather'd Mercury,
And vaulted with such ease into his seat
AS if an angel dropp'd down from the clouds
To turn and wind fiery Pegasus
And witch the world with noble Craftsmanship.
Much of the early dissipation OF Prince
Henry is accounted for as the consequence of
jealousy entertained of his growing popularity
by King Harry ". There is a parallel in the
Princes early life with that of the French
dauphin, son OF Louis XI who was suppressed
by his father for the same cause. Prince Halls
not depraved in heart; his errors are but the
rude eXcrescences OF an untamed and fugitive
genius. He rises on the piniOns of resolution
from the corrupt and stagnant sea of sensual
ity. and throwing off the vices incidental to
and natural in youth Especially where great
animal spirits are united to bold heart and
able mind), stands erect in the stern dignity of
q just and sovereign authority. Out OF Prince
Harry's early eccentricities arises, in q very
natural and easy manner the comedy OF the
play-hearty, rollicking, brilliant and aban-
doned that makes one love him even for his
superficial vices.

in a degree new departure. While every seat
in the vast auditorium of this increasingly pop
ular theater was nightly filed, the character OF
the audience showed that its members were
drawn from sources that hitherto had hesitated
to assemble in the grand place of amusement
south of Market street The opera-house under
Morosco's management has, it may be said, be-
come an educator of the people. They are be-
ginning to learn that his policy-the best class
OF performances at the lowest fgure-is a true
and beneficial one. Narrow prejudices are being
widened into sensible recognition of
the pleasure he is giving our theater-goers.
Every one who has attended the Grand during
the week-and in the aggregate their name is
legion-is walking advertisement of this
fact. Under his management, old cribbed,
cabined and confined ideas of cheap theatrical
business on this coast are passing away. and
everything is taking ON a new aspect, q new
tone, new life. Granger is the avatar of the
new dispensation sou tn of Market street. The
second week of this American emotional
actress, commencing tomorrow evening, will
be devoted to the successful drama, 'Inher
ited'' U'Heritage efficiency, as originally pro-
duced at the Theater de duplication, Paris,
and Madison Square, New York City. 1t was
successfully produced in this city at the Bush
street during q previous visit by the same
actress. Presented, as it will be, under more
advantageous conditions at the Grand Opera
house, the former success will no doubt be in
creased tenfold.

Oscar Wilda,a New PLAY.

Masculine iniquity IS the theme of Oscar
Wilde's latest play, can Ideal Husband
which was produced not long ago at the Hay
market Theater, in London, and which may be
seen here before the end of the season at the
Lyceum Theater. The hero of this piece, Sir
Robert Chittern, has sold q state secret to a

vile importations by the music hall magnate
on O'Farrell street.
..Hilda Thomas is already known to local the
ater-goers having been star of the NJ. B. Leav-
lit "Spider and Fly" com bination and of Frank
Daniels "Little Puck Company, both of which
played at the California Theater several years
ago. AS q character singer Miss Thomas has
no equal on the stage, and many of the songs
now familiar to every household in the coun-
try were first introduced by her and expressly
written for her. Her singing of "Sally in Our
Alley is recognized as the most perfect render
ing of that song by q woman, and "Cows in
Clover" "Spider and Fly,'' dixie a Lady,"
"Ma Jeanette" "Oh, You Big Darling" BIRD
of Blue" ETC., are some of the gems in her
repertoire. Miss Thomas will be assisted in the
production of her musical comedietta by Frank
Barry, an accomplished musician.
Pretty, undulating, sinuous, homeless Ber-
toldi is also down on the bill as a star attrac-
ton, and her remarkable feats of equilibrism
are already well known to San Franciscans.
These two acts alone would make the new bill
magnificent one, but Dolan and Lenharr,
travesty and character artists; Conway and Le-
land, one1egged acrobats; Galette, with HIS
farcial duo of monkeys, and Seanlon and Kiroy,
Irish comedians, will combine to make it the
best vaudeville show seen in the city for long

ost mate is good-looking woman of %,
who left Antioch three days ago to join
him in this city. She was seen on the boat
by a custom-house officer, and was seen
again by the same person in this city after
the boat landed. Her trunk is in the bag
gage-room, but Mrs. Manoury's where
abouts is mystery.
Manoury says that just before leaving
Antioch his wife gave their child into the
keeping of an acquaintance. He is at a
loss to tell why she did so, and says he
knows of no reason why she should desert
him.
The missing woman is feet inches
tall and has dark hair and blue-gray eyes.
She speaks English and Danish. When
she left Antioch, Mrs. Manoury wore a
gray dress, fur cape and green velvet hat.

its completeness, with this important exeep-
