Butlersnd Massachusetts, “The Springfield (Mass.) Republi- », as the Scotch say, is ‘jean daft’ on this subject —fires off three solid-columns Of editoral at Ben Butler in its issue of last Friday. We take the following trom the wind-up: “Benjamin F. Butler is not the sort of governor Massachusetts can afford to honor again. record, not to touch on his past, is not wholesome or valuable. Person- ally he fails to embody that Ser aus ed manhood which the first citizen ot the state ought to represent. Politi- cally he illustrates in the most strik- mg way the protection ot the spoils system. He practises the worst phase of what used to be known as Grantism.. He fills the offices at his command ‘with my personal friend’ —a phrase used in every reterence made to appointments in his conven- tion speech. ‘The government be- longs to my friends’—that is the po- litical creed and faithful practice, a doctrine Which separates him from avil service reform by a distance wide as the poles are asunder. This gives Butlerism its cohesive power, and the same theory built up Tweed- ism. It is full time that the thought- ful men of Massachusetts lifted the issue ot our pending campaign upon broader ground.”” Conceding, for the sake of argu- ment, the truth of these charges against Butler, we simply wish to ask sf he is any worse now than he was from the day he joined the Re- publican party until the day he left it?—if. indeed, he has tettit. Is he not the same identical Butler who, during the period named, had_ the hearty endosement ot at least nine- tenths ot Massachusetts Republicans ? When the South, writhing under Republican reconstruction, kicked occasionally, did not prominent Ke- publican journals in Massachusetts suggest the appointment ot Butler to supreme control in that section, so that he might “straighten things out and make treason odious, as he did in New Orleans??? When, in con- gress and elsewhere, he poured his vituperative wrath upon Democratic heads, didnot Massachusetts Repub- licans cheer him to the echo? In short, did he ever say anything too bitter or do anything too mean for Republican stomachs while acting with thatparty? Did not Repubh- can attacks upon him begin only when he saw fit to act against it? If he was doing to Republicans, how many of that party in Massachusetts would refuse to say. ‘*‘Well done, thou good and faithtul servant?’? He might, as a Republican, preach and practise ‘the spoils system’’ until there was nothing left to steal; he might, as 2 Republican, give the last one of his ‘‘personal friends’? a fat office ; he might, as a Republican, be a brilliant illustration of the pe- culiar beauties of “‘Grantism’’ and “Tweedism’’—and few, very few, Republican tongues in or out of Massachusetts would wag against him. Itis his self-constituted and selt-assumed Democracy that sticks in the Republican throat, and throws his recent allies and admirers in Massachusetts into agonies ot out- taged virtue. To the Republican eye, there is an immeasurable differ- ence and distance between the real Republican Butler and the alleged Democratic Butler. To impartial abservers Butler 1s Butler, no matter what political uniform he may choose °0 put on. When the Republican portion of “the thoughtful men of Massachu- Settes lift the issue of the pending campaign upon broader ground,”” they should improve the opportunity ‘0 see themselves as others see them, and think of the time when, in Re- Publican estimation, Butler was “just the man for the emergency’’— full o: good words and works in the Sttvice of “the grand old party.’? hen, it consistency will they may get down from the **broad- ground”? to give him their curses fad deny him th votes.

Mr. C. E. Hewes Fort Plain, N.

He profited by the lesson, and has limited his sowing to five pecks to the acre ever since, and rarely falls below 46 bush- els per acre.

Springfield, Ill., Oct. 8.—Near | Mechanicsburg, a small country town fifteen miles east of Springfield lives a woman by the name of Mai- garet Robbins, wife of William Rob- bins, a well known farmer in the eastern part ef Sangamon county. This is Mr. Robbins’ second wife, and ten years ago (only a few years after their marriage) she fell in a fit of rage at her husband and went bed for spite, and said she would never do another lick of work or get | up to her meals. The reason for | this queer movement is that previous i and at the time of their marriage | Mrs. Robbins was very well off in regard to money matters. Her hus- band feeling that he had an eye to business, invested her money as he then thought toa good advantage. But bis return proved a failure and they were left in almost destitute circumstances. She then made her strange declaration and has kept her word, For seven years following this cri- sis she was not out other bed. But three years ago she began to get | tired and concluded to get up. and walk to the breakfast table. She | was very weak, and, stumbling over achair, fell, breaking her ankle. | She was put back to bed, and now | she says she will die there. Her daughter waits on her as though she i was a child, and never complains in the least, but in return receives many scoldings trom the mother, who keeps a broom handle in the bed and } uses it on the child when she is dis- pleased about anything that has been done. Mrs. Robbins has grown} very cross, and it is almost impossi- \ ble for any one to hve in the house with her; but if you want to know what is going onin the neighborhood just ask Mrs. R., tor she so in- quisitive to strangers and ; neighbors | is to is that nothing escapes her notice. Af- ter all these years of ‘‘napping,’’ she never complains of being tired, andj shows no inclination to want to get} up, or regrets that she has done what | she has, but rather thinks it was a} smart idea and seems joyful over the | situation.

In buying a silver watch case great care should be taken to secure one that is solid silver throughout. The cap of most cheap silver cases is made of a composition known as albata, which is a very poor substitute for silver, as it turns black in a short time. The backs of such cases are made much thinner than those of an all silver case, being robbed in order to make the cap thicker and get in as much as possible of the cheap metal. Anotherimportant point in asilver case is the joints or hinges, which should be made of gold. Those of most cheap cases are made of silver, which is not a suitable metal for that purpose. In a brief period it warps, bends and spreads apart, allowing the backs to become loose upon the case and admitting the dust and dirt that accummulate in the pocket. The Keystone Silver Watch Cases are only made with silver caps and gold joints. St. Lovrs, Mo., Peb. 17, 1883. Inour long and varied expenencein. but acknow! inthe market.
