now were dry, her classic fAce calm
and her carriage like that Of q queen.
And q queen she was, not by the right
OF birth or inheritance, but by the

BEN BUTLER'S BLUFF.
Il Was Well Worked and Com pIeteIy
Fooled General Binuham.

General John A Bingham was a
member of the military tribunal that
tried Mrs. Surratt and the Lincoln as
sassinatiou cohspirators.
After the trial in the subsequent de-
bates In the house General b. f. 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 he
boldly proclaimed that II 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 BinGha IN
made q movement as though he would
reprl such an accusation. Butler dra-
maticaliy drew memorandum book
from his breast pocket ana held il
sloft. but did not utter a word. Biug-
ham naturally supposed that Butler
had a copy o. diary such as he had
spoken Of. As a matter of fact the
book contained nothing but blank
leaves. General Butler was just bIun-
ing.
The diary was in possession OF Sec
rotary stanton. bat President Johnson
finally demanded IL II was an lnfer-
esrin- book. hut 1t threw no light upon
the great conspiracy.

MONSTER WHALES.

Fifteen Feet Long.
Frank =. BulIen. the noted writer Of
sea tales. in one Of his lectures said
that IN w Zealand he once saw Il
whale orcurd and there were found
in its stomach Il number of fish which
must simply have SWIM down its
throat. ani among them was shark
fifteen feet long and nine feet round.
The huge Greenland whale WAS de
sCribed. Mr.. Bullen asked his al
dicnce TO Imagine monster OF 80
tons and told how such Il one was
taken Oh voyage in which he took
part enough UhI!cbOne being taken
out of his head 10 pay coed dividend
on the voyage. For six months in the
year this particular kind OF whale
which WAS the most helpless Of all.
led life of aiurumS and excursions.
for ne was always being chased
\ 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
fact. if not driven out Of their minds.
certainly driven out of the water by
parasites adhoring TO their bodies.
This particular whale was greatly de-
voted Ia its young. and II a man hap
pened to kill a calf be needed all his
ingenuity tn escape from the mother.
On one occasion f1fty-twO boats went
after whales in the bay of California
and by accident a calf was killed. In
one hour the parent destroyed fifty OF
the ffty-two boats. killing a number
of men, and then sailed out to sea
without a scratch.
