A Northern Society Presents Him With n
Fine Horse and Trappings.
The presentation to General NJ. C..
Butler, of South Carolina, of a fine
saddle horse and accoutrements by the
society of the Sons Of the American
Revolution, of New York, was pleas
ing incident that has attracted favora-
BILE comment.
"The last nail in the coffin of Sec
tionalism, if it needed any last nail,
has been driven" says the New York
Mail aud Express, "by the Empire
State Society of the Sons of the Amer
lean Revolution. Its members have
at the same time, presented Major
General Matthew c. Butler, of South
Carolina, with a handsome Warhorse,
and handsome accouterments, at Camp
Alger, and given to Brigadier General
Frederick d. Grant, at Chickamauga,
sword richly chased and inscribed,
together with belt and epaulettes of
his new rank" Says the Mail and
Express:
"The honor to General Grant was
natural enough, as he is one of the
society's board Of managers, and has
been governor general for two years of
the Society Of Founders and Patriots
of America; but the gift to General
Butler was signally gracious and goes
to prove the patriotic harmony that
now thrills north and south alike as
in the days of the revolution. Colonel
J. c. Calhoun, a vice president of the
Empire State society, who served un-
der General Butler in the Civil war,
on the Confederate side, was the NOV
er of this warhorse tribute to his old
chief. Colonel Calhoun, together with
Edward Payson Cone (proposer of the
testimonial to General GranD; General
Thomas Wilson, United States army !;
General Horatio G. King, and Rev.
DR.. James NJ. King, all of this city,
were appointed committee to execute
the will of the society in both mat
ters.

THE FORCE OF IMAGINATIoN.-A
circumstance occurred in Hartford,
Conn.,, two or three years since, which
amused several persons considerably
at the time. An Irish servant girl
went into fashionable store to pur-
chase some ribbon. The clerk pro-
duced very fine article, but she OBJ
iected to it on the ground that the
shade of the color did not exactly suit
her. -,
"Oh," said the clerk, 'if you will
only imagine that it pleases you, the
color will make no difference.
And he entered into disquisition
upon the extraordinary power OF the
imagination. The girl heard him
through very attentively, and then
consented to have three or four yards
of the ribbon put up. She put 1t
quietly in her pocket and walked OF.
"stop, if you please" said the clerk
"you haven't paid for the ribbon"
"Niver mind" was the reply, as she
walked away; "jist imagine that l.
paid, and it will make no difference "

ing the last war, it was decided not to
risk that color again, so a mettled
black charger was chosen, at his selec-
ton, from Virginia, while bride, sad
die and accouterments were forwarded
from this city. President Mckinley,
one of the society's com-patriots, was
present at Camp Alger when the
presentation was made. Handsome
leatherbound copies of the society's
engrossed resolutions were given to
the president and to both Generals
Butler and Grant. They recite that
the society takes this action for the
purpose of reorganizing and expressing
it's gratitude for the unmistakable evil
dence that sectionalism is at an end
under the government which our faith
ers founded, and that we are an un-
divided nation, facing foreign foe,
with a common patriotism uniting all
our hearts as citizens of the great
American republic.

Scribbler had come home from the
Office in the evening quite "playeo

been reading a magazine, said
"See here, George Scribbler, here is

"What's it about ?"
oIt's about these funny kind of men

YOU cannot eat if there is tiny spot

grumpy. Now, is not that true ?"
"a man likes to see things in order
in his own house," said Scribbler.
"Of course he does, and try to
keep things in order, but l defy any
woman to maintain the degree of order
you expect with four or five children
in the house. Now, this article refers

THE TERRIBLE VESUVIUS.
The Spaniards Call Her the Earthquake
Thrower."

The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius was
for a long time an object of ridicule
in the navy. The officers had pre-
iudice against the idea of throwing ex'
plosives by means of air guns, holding
that this kind of warfare was better
suited to the army. Then again, they
thought that the Vesuvius would not
amount to much in an engagement
anyway, as she would be so easily dis
posed of by shot and shell from rifle
cannon. But now all these opinions
have undergone a decided revision.
Nearly every night for the past two
weeks, the Vesuvius has been making
it regular custom to slip up within
easy range of the entrance to Santiago
and let fly at least three guncotton
shells at the batteries and over into
the harbor. Each trip she lets fly just
three shells. This is because she has
only three guns, and as she is careful
not to expose herself unnecessarily she
does not care to run the risk of reload
ing while still within range of the forts.

TRIALS OF TRANSLATION .-Engilsh
critics say that recently fate gave evi'
dence of more than usual intelligence
in the office of Partisan journal
The Partisan editor saw London
critics appreciation of Anna Thibaud
whose songs are as pointed and tlowery
as her "rosebud" slippers. The Lon
doner wrote that "mademoiselle's feet
were incased in fairy boots" The
Partisan set himself diligently to work
with his dictionary, and soon had ii
correctly translated, we presume, but
when it appeared in print, instead o1
reading that mademoiselle's feet were
incased in "bottes de fee," it said they
were incased in spots feurs" (Howel
pots).

There Are Two Ways.

| ~ NE of the dispatches printed in
the Standard yesterday morning
gave what looks like a pretty
close forecast of things that are likely
to come as the sequel of the Maine
tragedy. This forecast says that the
report of the board of inquiry Will
ascribe the accident to external causes;
that the president will Immediately
demand an indemnity: that Spain will
reply by agreeing to pay If she Is found
to be responsible, but will maintain
that she is not. and Spain will suggest
an international board of arbitration:
and that there's no telling what viii
happen after that. If things do take
the course thus outlined, the events
that are to follow will unquestionably
depend largely on the temper evinced
by the American people-they may
show themselves not at all disposed to
wait weeks and months for the result
of an investigation that would be GER
tain to drag its weary length along.
While things are pretty certain to
move along the lines indicated in the
forecast to which we have referred, it
is to be hoped that the government at
Washington will yet find itself prepared
to go bravely at the Cuban question.
We shall not be, by any means, on the
best and surest and broadcast ground IT,
Spain refusing to pay. we go to war to
collect the money which the president
may demand. We can do better than
to thrust into the situation a purely
commercial proposition. respecting the
justice of which foreign nations will
disagree and on which the people of the
United States will divide. There are
broad moral grounds-high, sure, safe
ON which this country can stand, the
essential justice of which no power on
earth can call in question.
This country has manifest RESPONSE
bilities. one of these is to see to it that
oppression. injustice and savagery in
war are not tolerated on any acre of
land that clearly comes within the
scope OF the Monroe doctrine. This
country can say to Spain with indis-
putable warrant. that the Cuban war
must cease mat Is not ueHlafu tldt
Spain can refer To arbitration. If this
most righteous demand is mol met. if
Spain does not cease its war, the United
States should stop ii. If that means
another war, 1t will be a war about the
justice of which there could be no bag
Cling. 1t would be a war fought and
finished, with Cuba free, in less time
than II would take the titled diplomats
to get SO far as even into the vestibule

along in en-minute. five minute. two

politics, was represented. Every sec

states, Not Words.
Washington, March ia statement
which is believed shows correctly the
sentiment of the Spanish cabinet in the
present emergency was made to-day by
a gentleman intimately associated with
Premier Sagasta and Senior Moret, sec
rotary for the colonies. 1t is not desired
TO give IL the form of an official utter
ance, but rather an exposition from one
whose opportunities for information are
complete on the views animating the
ruling authorities of Spain The state
ment is as follows:
THE elections in Cuba are about to
occur. and the government desires them
to be as free as possible. naturally.
however, the instruction will prevent
many from voting, and it is felt also
that renewed insurgent activity coming
at such moment might jeopardize the
successful working out of the autono-
mist plan.
Moreover, the attitude of the United
States in having a squadron so near
Cuba and the active war preparations
in the United States are of a nature
that may exert an influence against
fair expression of public will against
the autonomists. 1t is thought that if
the United States Were sincere in its
expressions of friendship to Spain. even
if 1t thought that autonomy could not
meet every expectation. it should, by
friendly acts, and not words, show the
sympathy with the liberal regime inau-
gurated in Cuba. If the Washington
government made known indirectly to
the insurgents that it meant to have
peace in Cuba, and that peace in Cuba
might be had with autonomic govern
ment under Spain, the instruction
would certainly die out.
IF, later. the Weyler party wanted
to interfere. it would be time for the
United States 10 take action. The
action would be then justifiable. Now,
to make war on Spain would be a crime,
and for that crime to civilization and
humanity the United States would be
responsible"
The foregoing statement was called
to the attention of Senior Polo v Berna-
be, the Spanish minister. and his views
on it requested, but he maintained dip
lomatic reserve after reading it care-
fully. and said il appeared to be given
by one thoroughly conversant with the
situation.
This afternoon the Spanish minister
called at the state department and had
a two hours conference with Assistant
Secretary Day. 1t was the first call of
Senior Polo for purely business pur-
poses. The minister came away looking
highly gratified but he asked to be ex-
cused from discussing the purpose of
his call. There is little doubt, however.
that it permitted full exchange on the
present situation.
