How General q stler Freed a Man.


General Buffers gift for springing
out and taking advantage Of every
teclnicality was fully illustrated in the
famous case of respectfully connected
man in Boston, who, being affected
with Il mania for stealing, was brought
to trial on four indictments. General
Butler was the prisoners counsel. If
the prisoner was convicted on all four
indictments, he would he liable TO
Imprisonment for 60 years. AS the
court was assembling General Butler
agreed with the counsel for the prose
cution that three indictments should be
quashed on condition that the prisoner
should plead guilty to the one which
charged the theft of the greatest
amount.
The prisoner, to his amazement. was
ordered by his counsel to plead guilty.
Say guilty, sir" said the general
sternly. The man obeyed, and the
other three indictments We're not press
ed. But when the counsel for the pros
ecution moved for sentence General
Butler pointed out a fatal flaw. mani
fest to every one when attention was
called to 1t. In ten minutes the aston
1shed prisoner was a free man. 1t is
said that the court laughed ut the ruse,
the cleverness of which it was impos-
sible not to admire.

Big Poultry Enterprise.

The Zeller farm. about two miles north
Of Manassas, recently purchased by MIR.
Bailey, has been converted into what is
probably the largest poultry business in
the State.
The farm consists of BOG acres, and
will be devoted almost exclusively to the
poultry business, under the management
Of Messrs x. &. and W. 7. Bailey and j.
A. Winsloe They at first erected four
large poultry houses and are now build
ing still others The main building is
1Gx10O and 10 feet high, divided into
10 compartments. Attached to each
compartment is a runaway, 10x150
feet. This building is for their fancy
stock and contains birds from many OF
the most noted breeders OF the United
States, costing from 81 to $2j each.
From. TO 10 fowls are allowed in each
pen, thus ensuring large and vigorous
hatch.
The Silver Bow Poultry Farm. as these
gentlemen have designated their mann
moth enterprise, will, in addition to
raising fancy birds, breed chickens for
the market, though the principal busi-
ness will be the perfecting OF prize-win-
ming fowls. They hatch exclusively
with incubators and now have several
hundred young chickens that will soon
be ready for the market as broilers.
Their mammoth Pekin ducks and
mammoth Bronze turkeys are splendid
specimens, certainly among the finest
ever seen in this State.
They are also breeding Belgian hares,
which seem 20 be the rage from ocean to
ocean. These are quite handsome both
as to size and markings.
An invitation is extended to all lovers
of fine poultry to visit this mammoth
enterprise. Visitors will be shown
around with pleasure and everything
explained. Manassas Journal.

Hon. Joseph 7. Lawless, Secretary OF

among the executive papers OF the State

II. Thomas, ofSouthampton county, the
celebrated Union soldier, to Gov. John
Letcher, in which he clearly intimated
his intention to resign from the army in
ease Virginia seeded
Virginia seeded less than six weeks al
ter the letter was written. But Gen.
Thomas remained i'm the Union army and
became one of the most distinguished
officers of the war.
1t had long been denied that such a
letter was ever written. lt was written
from a New York hotel, under date OF
March II, 1861. 1t is as follows.
"Hon. Jno. Letcher, Governor of Virginia;
''My dear GOVERNOR received yester-
day a letter from Major Gilham, OF the
virginia Military Institute, dated the
9th inst. in reference to the position OF
Chief of Ordnance OF the State, in which
he informs me that you had requested
him to ask me il | would resign from

would be acceptable to me- As he re-

messing my most sincere thanksfor your
very kind offer, that it is not my wish to
leave the service of the United States as

Some time ago-only afewmonths ago,
indeed-the indianapolis News wscontained
an editorial in which the editor under
took to lecture the Southern people on
the subject OF lyncbing. But the dark
ness Of the editor has been lightened by
a recent incident A white woman was
assaulted by a negro man and the editor
OF the News makes this reference to the
outrage:
People in this neighborhood ought TO
have better understanding at least Of.
if not more sympathy with, the temper
of our Southern brethren when the best
people OF a community turn out and
lynch a negro for assault. When a frail and
innocent young woman is seized by
burly, black brute and subjected to the
horrible treatment suffered by Miss Oar
ter. the blood OF every decent man boils
with Indignation, and vengeance, swift,
sure, unwaiting, is the impulse. We are
utterly and always opposed tOsummary
justice by the mob, even Of best people.
But we can now better understand how
strong the temptation thereto can be.
We earnestly hope that 80 posslbleeIiort
will be left nntried to discover the crlml.
nal and bring him TO punishment. The
county or the State might well offer a
large reward for his apprehension"
Human nature is much the same the
world over. Blood Is thicker than water,
and when negro men assault white
women, they will be summarily dealt
with, whether the assault be committed
in Georgia, in Virginia, in New York or
in Indiana. Richmond Times.
