BEN BUTLER'S BLUFF.
It Was Well Worked and Completely
Fooled General Bingham.


General John A. Bingham was a
member of the military tribunal that
tried Mrs. Surratt and the Lincoln as
sassination cOnspirators.
After the trial in the subsequent de
bates in the house General B. +. But
Ter frequently charged that the com
mission had arrived at an unjust yer
dict and had convicted an innocent
woman. In a memorable debate be
boldly proclaimed that if the contents
of a diary which had been found on
the dead body of J. Wilkes Booth were
ever made public it would disclose the
fact that it contained the proof OF
Mrs. Surratt's innocence. which proof
had been UNANIMOUSLY suppressed by the
commission. When General Bingham
made a movement as though he would
repel such an accusation. Butler dra
matically drew a memorandum book
from his breast pocket and held 1t
aloft, but did not utter a word. Bing-
ham naturally supposed that Butler
had q copy of a diary such as he mad
spoken Of As a matter of fact the
book contained nothing but blank
leaves. General Butler was just bluff
ing.
The diary was in possession of Sec
retary Stanton. but President johnson
finally demanded it. 1t was an inter
esting book. but it threw no light upon
the great conspiracy.

MONSTER WHALES.
One That Swallowed Whole 9 Shark
Fifteen Feet Lonq,

EuhCCu tNgCh GObSs
Frank T. Bullen. the noted writer of
sea tales. in one of his lectures said
that in New Zealand he once saw
whale opened and there were found
in its stomach a number of fish which
must simply have swum down its
throat, and among them was a shark
fifteen feet long and nine feet round
The huge Greenland whale was de
scribed Mr. Bullen asked his au
dience to imagine a monster Of $50
tons and told how such a one was
taken on voyage in which he took
part. enough whalebone being taken
out Of his head to pay a good dividend
on the voyage. For six months in the
year this particular kind of whale.
which was the most helpless of all,
led a life of alarums and excursions
for he was always being chased
A third kind of whale. the hump
backed whale. was shown in a picture
jumping from the water. and Mr.. Bull
len explained that this was no indi
cation of joy in life. They were, in

certainly driven out of the water by
parasites adhering to their bodies
This particular whale was greatly de-
voted to its young, and if man hap
pened to kill calf he needed all his
ingenuity to escape from the mother
On one occasion ffty-two boats went
after whales in the bay of California
and by accident calf was killed In
one hour the parent destroyed fifty of
the fifty-two boats. killing a number
of men. and then sailed out to sea
without a scratch.
