BUTLER OF NORTH CAROLINA.

Marion Butler. of North Carolina,
turned loose in the Senate yesterday.
We venture the assertion that no man
that ever sat in that body has so firm a
grip on fame as Marion Butler. Butler
reminds you of Dan1 Webster. He is
so different. We seriously doubt
whether there is any living thing, from
a man to a bacillus. that has as little
sense as Marion Butler, of North Caro-
lima. This iswhy he will be SO famous
PETER. of Kansas, got mighty short
weight when he laid in his brain sup
ply, but PETER is to Marion Butler as
Jove Is to worm. Yet this thing can
open it's mouth and talk for hours ON a
stretch, and at a distance of hundred
yards 7l.solSs almost human. Thc Wav
North Carolina happened to send this
freak of ature to the Senate is this: A
motion was pending to send him to
dime museum; somebody in spirit of
fun moved to strike out ''dime mu-
scum" and in sert nited States SEN
ate, - and the legislature being drunk,
and Populite to boot, adopted the
amendment, tabled a motion to recon
slider, and let it go at that. Butler will
do much to promote the gayety of ma
tions while he is there. He is foun-
tain of folly that is never at rest and
never goes dry. He is spouting gey-
ser of hot mud that will attract visitors
from the uttermosJ parts of the earth.
Men whose rich bachelor uncles had
died and willed their property to an
orphan asylum; men whose motherS-in-
law have come to spend the summer
with them: hen-pecked husbands, un-
dertakers, Englishmen and ali kinds of
solemn and sunless natures have been
known TO look On Marion Butler and
laugh joyously. North Carolina has
been noted for its hnmor, but the broad
est joke it ever sprung on the con-
vulsed and hilarious earth is its freak

thing in you, Alice" said a gentleman
to his niece. "You seem to live in the
superlative degree. When you have a
toothache it is the worst you ever had.
The young man who was here last night
was the ugliest fellow you ever saw.
According to your statement a little
while ago, it took you forever and a day
to learn to make sponge cake. The
house, o say, is full of flies. You
nave just declared that the room is as
hot as an oven, you have the dreadful
est headache you ever had in your life
and the boy across the road is making
the fearfulest racket a boy ever made.
Don't you see, my child, this sort of
thing won't do? Some time in YOUR
life o will really have an experience
requiring strong words to describe it
and you will not be able to convey any
idea of it. You will have Used up all
your adjectives. That is all, my dear.

The P,rmy Cattle Of samoa.

The Samoan islands are the natural
habitat OF the most diminutive species
lpf variety of the genus hos now
KNOWN to the naturalist. The average
weight OF the males of these lillipu-
! Liam cattle seldom exceed 200 pounds,
the average being not greater than
$50 pounds. The females usually
average about 100 pounds larger, are
very ''stocky" built, seldom being
taller than a merino sheep. The
dwarf cattle are nearly all of the same
color-reddish mouse color, marked
with white. They have very large
heads as compared with their bodies.
and their horns are of exceptional
length.

He Makes Enough Money to Keep q
Carriage.
A character on the upper west side
is a six-foot barber who hasn't any
shop of his own, but VINO makes enough
at his trade to keep a turnout. He used
to keep a shop downtown, but this ven
ture was not what he desired it to be,
SO he gave it up to the sheriff. Then
he hit upon the idea of becoming a
visiting barber. A visiting barber is
different from the ordinary, everyday
barber in that he calls at the homes of
fairly well-to-do business men at fixed
hours of the day and for an extra COM
pensation shows his ability as a tom
serial artist. The class of customers
that this visiting barber has is the envy
OF all the shop BARRIERS for miles around
his territory. How he does it is best
explained in his own language, as fol-
lows: Il figure among my customers" he
said, two bankers who have offices on
New street, a lawyer who won a $780,
600 case the day before yesterday, the
agent of a steamship line that runs to
the West Indies, the manager of several
metropolitan theaters and half a dozen
physicians. My greatest difficulty has
been to get my customers to set aside
hours for my visit that would suit them
as we'll as myself. This often interferes
with my assuming other business. l
have but two hands, as you must OBJ
serve, and although / have never sug-
gested sending an assistant to my GUS
toners, / am sure they would not like
a substitute. The business of a visiting
barber resembles that of a fortune teller
in that it must be personal.
My charges per week for each Gus
toner range from So up. I begin work
each morning on the steamship man.
He is an early riser and breakfasts at 8
o'clock, after [ have visited his house
and attended to his wants. The bank
ers visit between 8 and 8, and then,
unless on special occasions, I call on the
lawyer. All my physicians have office
hours up to IL o'clock, and I prepare
them before they go visiting. I have
five young men of leisure who generally
lie in bed until 7 come.
In all | shave and otherwise attend
to twenty-five customers each day, three
of them before dinner in the evening.
dc not know if there are any other
visiting BARRIERS in the city, nor do I
care. All that I know is that I make
money enough out of it to keep a horse
and rig to take my wife driving on Sun
day. While l was a slave of the shop
never did that, for the reason that I
seldom had a full Sunday to myself,
and also because I hadn't any rig, The
man who patronizes the visiting barber
is sensible. 1t may be a little more ex-
pensive, but it is cleaner, more convent
ent and satisfactory all around."-New

MEDICAL DISCOVERY.

DONALD KENNEDY, OF R0XBURY, MASS,
Has discovered in one Of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Hunor, from the worst Scrofula
down to a common Pilnple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value, all within twenty miles Of
Boston. Send postal card for book.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and a perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver
or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts
being stopped, and always disappears in a
week after taking it. Read the label.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause Squeamish feelings at first.

Ia ancient days, says . contem-
porary, che people Of Grimsby
formed an admirable notion Of the
wisdom required for corporation
honors. The burgesses assembled ut
the church and selected three Of
themselves for the mayoralty. The
candidates were conducted, with
bunch of hay tied to each Of their
backs, to the common pound, in
which they we're placed blindfolded
with q calf; and he whose bunch Of
hay was the first eaten by the calf
was %thereupon declared mayor for
the ensuing year.
