DEATH OF JOHN BUTLER.
"San'wich Man" and Old-Time Hack
Driver

The recent death of John l.. Butler "the
| hot sandwich man." marked the passing of
a veritable human landmark of old Wash
! ington.
| Butler was venerable and colored He
| was born in Georgetown in 1881, when that
| place was a port of much Importance
| and sailing ships came up the Potomac
laden with cargoes of every description.
When Butler was boy he played about
the wharves of old Georgetown and used to
wonder at the great water birds-as he
termed the ships-with their great stretches
of white wings.
In the 50s he was known as John But
Ter, the hack driver" He owned his own
team, and his passengers We're often re-
galed by the droll stories that the driver
told of men and things in the olden time.
In his time John hacked" many noted
men. One of his regular customers was
Samuel Ward. famliarly known as Uncle
Sam who gave many famous dinners at
Welcker's, at that time the Delmonicos of
Was shngtOn.
Mr.. Ward was the medium through which
Butler came in touch with a number of the
great men of this nation. Among these
were Secretary of War Stanton. Gen. Gar
field, Samuel Hooper, Gen. L. S. Grant,
Gen. Robert E. Schenck, Senator Bayard
William NJ. Evarts. ] Ward McAuster
Samuel j. Randall, John Morrisey when
member of Congress- also Sir Edward
Thornton British minister, and the Earl of
Dunraven. All of these and others rode in
Johns hack at different times and praised
the old man for his courteous attention
On one occasion when Gen. Grant reached
Washington unexpectedly to his friends
and early in the morning, he asked for
John Buffers team. John drove the hero
of Appomattox from the Baltimore and
Ohio depot to his home. then on | street
near New Jersey avenue northwest Gen.
Grant handed Butler s. bill, but the
driver refused to accept more than his
rightful fare. $3.50 exclaiming as he showed
the money in his pocket:
General l would not have missed this
job for 500
After Daniel E. Sickes had shot Philip
Barton Key the meals of the former were
carried to him regularly by Butler He also
numbered among his patrons Thad. Stevens
and former War Secretary William II.
Belknap.
Butler lived continuously in the District
of Columbia from the day of his birth,
seventy-four years ago. AT the time of his
death his residence at 600 Browns
court.

the navy yard New York OF Lient Farmer
Morrison of the navy and First Lieut. r. p
Williams of the Marine Corps for alleged

Relief of orpheus.
The relief of Orpheus, Euridice and
Hermes from the National Museum. Naples,
exists in three different copies, and is one
of the best known and most popular works
OF ancient art, The other two copies are at
Paris and Rome. The Parisiin copy. from
which the photograph is taken. bears the
modern and erroneous Inscription of Am
phion, Antiope and Zethos. The scene car
ries its own interpretation. The theme is
treated with the utmost simplicity and
tenderness and in other works from the
age of Phidias the tendency of the best
Greek art to moderate the external mani
festa;ion of emotion, is evidenced There
is no distortion of features. no frantic ges-
ture. no abandon and yet the very self-re-
straint renders the scene more pathetic
and affecting
The beautiful relief is one of large class
of sepulchral reiefs in Attic style, many
of which have been discovered lately in the
