Hen Rutterworth.

[Sfa*eial Correspondence.] Washington, April 5.—“It is queer how things work around in this world, ” said Major Ben Butterworth in a talk with the subscriber on the now famous eaae iu which he has bi'cn so prominent. “It is queer how the lawyers in this case were brought together, and such things sometimes make me think that we are not the authors of our own course in life at all, but that there is a mysterious potency running concurrently with our daily lives and shaping things to a preordained issue. Now, Jeremiah Wilson wtis Ixirn only one mile from where I was in Warren county, O.—lovely old Warren, the land of good men and handsome women! “Our parents were neighbors and great friends, and in those days old Governor Morrow waa a great man in the neighborhood, and so Jere was named after him, his full name being Jeremiah Morrow Wilson. And we both studied law with the same man, General Durbin Ward. Mr. Wilson, however, is several years older than I am. and I was taught to look up to him as one of the big boys of the neighborhood. We plowed and hoed corn in neighboring fields and grew up under exactly the same circumstances. His father was long clerk of the county court and was a sort of general adviser and good natured helper to all the neighborhood. He wrote the people's wills and drew up their contracts and arbitrated their little disputes and iu a general way was judge, lawyer and

helper to everybody. ("ounNel In tli«* Ca»f.

MAJOR BEN BUTTERWORTH. gress at tin - same time and formed this partnership in Washington which has made such a strong law firm. Mr. Wili son is really much stronger than he looks and is a very thorough lawyer indeed. John Shelby, who sits to my right, is the son of an old and well known citizen near Lexington, where John was I born. He made a very fine record in college, and had a complete course both iu the literary department and in law, and lias been a partner of Colonel Breckinridge some 15 years. Down there they still practice on circuit, after the manner of the old Kentucky bar, going from l one county to another, as the judge goes round in the circuit. I do not know that ! it is of much consequence, hut Mr. Shel- | by is a man of very strict religious 1 training and a church member of high standing, besides a very energetic awl ; successful lawyer. Phil Thompson is the son of Colonel Phil Thompson of Harrisburg, Ky., one of the eminent lawyers j of the state for many years. “Mr. Charles Stoll, the other young lawyer, as you might say. is the son of a ! Blue Grass farmer, who was a very noted Union man during the war and has been a leading Republican ever since. He also had a complete college and law course and has lieen remarkably successful iu business outside of law—that is, as a I projector of railroads and the like. And, by the way, 1 think the chances are very strong that he will he the Republican candidate for governor of Kentucky this fall. IndtNNl I am quite sure of it. He studied law with Colonel Breckinridge and owes so much of his success to the colonel that his interest in this case has been very strong oh the line of friendI ship. Indeed it is fur more personal than professional. I don’t know that I ought to speak of him as a young man except as youth goes in the healthy Blue Grass region, for he is ulxmt 42 or 43 years of

age.

“Hlood Will Tell." "Mr. Calderon Carlisle is about the same age, and yet we speak of him as young because we do not just now remember any ease so noted as this iu which be has taken a leading part. It is said that he is of Spanish hlotxl on his ; mother's side and English on the other. But that cuts no figure, for he is a very intense West Virginia American, a good ; fellow and a remarkably able lawyer. His father was a leading Virginian, and he was Ixini there before the separation of the sections. Speaking of the old families of the border states and about I there being something in blood, I feel a sort of pride in the fact that my ancestors on Ixith sidi* were Quakers of the very highest priuciple in regard to the rights of man. “John Linton, my mother's ancestor, 1 came to this country with William Penn. His father was a prominent officer in the British navy, the family occupying a gfxxl rank, and John Linton | was disinherited for turning Quaker. I Thereafter he cast in his lot with the friends of liberty, and the record was maintained without a break until the abolition of slavery in this country. My mother's maiden name was Linton, and her father uas a pioneer surveyor in

inno. me iinrterwortns were planters in Virginia when they joined the Quakers and s«x>u after emancipated all their slaves. Sonic they took with them to ()hio and located them in the Miami valley. This was early in this century, and their descendants are still in Ohio. The desceudants of the others are in Vir-

ginia.

'Twa» Ever Thun. “Mr. Wilson and I were bom on farms near Lebanon and reared there, as I said before, as country boys. I attended the academy, but never graduated, tind studied law with General Durbin Ward and William M. Ramsay of Cincinnati, attending a course of lectures later. I was admitted to the bar in the spring of 1K61, and soon after the war broke up all professional arrangements, and yon know about that. After returning from the service I was appointed United States district attorney for the southern district of Ohio and soon after that won my spurs as a politician, overcoming the Democratic majority of over a thousand and securing a scat in the state senate of the Sixty-first general as-

sembly.

“Those were stirring times among the young politicians of southern Ohio, but outside of our legislative labors wewere a sociable set, the good fellows on both sides affiliating, and whether Democrats or Republicans we were all very ardent southern Ohio and Miami valley men. It was after I t(xik up my residence in Cincinnati that I was nominated in Milton Sayler’s old district in the fall of 1878. I suspect I was put up as a sort of forlorn hope, but I got in that year tutd was re-elected in 1880, and then came the big fluke, when, as Governor Tom Young said, ‘we were such fools as to shake the red rag at the Dutch bull. ’ Pardon the comparison; you know how Tom Young talked. The plain English of it is that we went our length on some radical temperance measures and got thrown full length. It was ever thus. The slaughter of Ohio Republicans that year was terrible, and of course it was worse in (Mucinnati and the cities generally. I outlived it, however, as you know, and was re-elected in 1884, 188(1 and 1888. Then I decided to quit politics and try to make some money, for 1 had never learned how to slight my work, and in spite of what people said, or might have imagined from my being generally gtxxl natured about it, I really toiled like a slave while I was in congress. But let us change the subject. What are yon going to say about the plaintiff in this case?" A Hriglit Woman. "Well, it is my business not to talk, but to hear what you say. This, however, seems to be plain—that Madeline Pollard may be said to rival Frank Moulton as the champion witness of the nineteenth century.” “Rival Frank Moulton! Why, Frank isn't in it for comparison. She is the most consummate actress I ever saw on the stand. She has all the little tricks of the trained feminine witness and knows just when to turn on the pathetic when she cannot answer a question. If we could only get witnesses to come into court! But yon know how that is. There are certain cases in which it is utterly impo sible to prove what everybody in the neighborhood knows to be true. How often it happens that a woman is a notorious character in a country neighborhood for 10 or 20 years! In the whole neighborhood there isn't a soul but knows her reputation }x - rfectly well, and yet you might summon the whole township and not he able to prove it. It is a little easier to prove such a case in a city—not much either. “Just look at the abuse that has lx*en showered on these men who have testified. Young fellows, ns a rule, will run off rather than come into court, and married men come to us with tears in their eyes, saying, ‘Dear Mr. Butterworth, do you want to ruin me?’ Of course we don't. Now, here's a woman who has been practicing on the weaknesses of men ever since she was out of short clothes, tutd she has become absolute mistress of her business. She might have had anything she had a mind to ask. She could have gone to Europe and had all her expenses paid to complete that education of which she has said so ranch. She might have had any reasonable sum of money. But she wanted to lx> identified with a great statesman in a sensational cast* before the public, and then —well, I don’t know what—write a hook or go on the stage or something worse. She is ftxilish enough to think that she can rise on the ruin of his greatness, and yet she is smart enough in her way to be, as I said before, a witness with whom Frank Moulton is not to be

compared. ”

1nt«»r<*Mthig Kuinn.

Whether the plaintiff's policy is as Major Butterworth thinks or not, one thing is morally certain. If her intention was to ruin Colonel Breckinridge, she has carried it out. His is indeed a colossal ruin. But it is a picturesque ruin. Baalbec and Palmyra are not in it for comparison nor all the broken columns and ruined temples of Thelx'S. Much has already been said of this feature, too much per- | haps, hut one jHiint will lx - ar repetition. It is probably the only case of the kind in which the lowest grades of society agreed so completely with the highest. In the once famous Kalloch case the religious people divided not unequally. Good society was not unanimous, and the dissolute cared nothing about it. As to Mr. Beecher, his church stood by him unflinchingly, and all the alleged rings in Brooklyn, whether political or commercial, were his supporters. In the various trials of the lost 10 years of cases

ALL ABOUT CELERY.

How to Grow It by Irritation—Two Crop*

Farly hih! I.ate.

Many fanners labor under the Impression that celery is a hard crop to grow. This is a mistake. It can be grown as easily as a crop of potatoes, providing one has a soil that will suit its peculiar habits. Celery is fond ot a soil that is naturally moist and is supplied with an abundance of vegetable matter. However, the lack of tnese conditions can he overcome when one has plenty of stable manure and a good supply of water for irrigating purposes, according to a Colorado authority, who expresses himself as follows in Field

and Farm:

The market gardener generally raises two crops of celery—early and late. The early crop is generally disposed of during the late summer and fall months, while the late crop is stored tor winter and spring use. For an early crop the seed is sown about the 1st of March in a nuxlerate hotbed in drills two inches apart. The soil should he made very rich and the bed well watered, to give

the plants a good start.

When the plants have grown to a fair size, they are usually transplanted into a cold frame. However, this practice of transplanting celery is rapidly disrppearing. Experience has proved beyond a doubt that celery so treated will produce a larger per cent of plants that go

for thT’ defense.

Washington, April 11.—Colonel Phil Thompson, formerly a member of congress from Kentucky, and one of the best known men in Washington, entertainix! the jury in the Pollard-Breckinridge case yesterday with a pyrotechnic speech such as has rarely been heard in this section. The blue grass orator once had a great reputation as a stump speaker, ami Washington had a chance to see on what the fame was founded. Colonel Thompson is a thick set, chubby, redfaced man, with scant hair on the top of his head. His speech was sprinkled with anecdotes, some of them t<x> broad for reproduction. Madeline Pollard did not hear the terms in which her fellowKentuckian referred to her as an adventuress ami shameless woman, because she left the court as soon as Mr. Calderon Carlisle had finished his plea in her behalf. The speech of Colonel Thompson will lx- concluded tixlay and then Major Ben Butterworth, another excongressman, who is a mild spoken

Quaker, will follow.

After setting they should he given a good soaking by running the water down the rows, and if the weather is dry they must he irrigated at least once every 10 days and cultivated after each irrigation.

The saw is made fast to the lower end of this rod, and then it will swing back and forth as shown in the cut. You can have a horse for the wood or drive stakes into the ground with the tops crossed, so as to hold the logs. I can put up five cords in 10 hours with this machine. Of course it takes some little time to learn how to run the saw just right. In this machine the stakes are 0 feet long for the sides and 10 feet for the other. The pendulum on which the saw is fastened is 8 feet long and has holes bored in it so that it can be easily raised or lowered. I use the “horse’’ or stakes for sawing poles from 2 to 6 inches in diameter. For sawing large logs I use a rolling platform like that on buzzsaws.

Item* of Local Intereit.

The demand for commercial fertilizers has created a new industry at the west —that of utilizing the blood, bene and other waste materials formerly sent east to be manufactured into fertilizers. The question of "irrigation” by using the waters of flowing rivers upon the barren lands is the great question in the states of the far west. Arizona am] Washington are both demonstrating the

benefits of irrigation.

I'ongrrHH >tnd the Country. Each succeeding week of the present session of congress demonstrates more and more forcibly the utter incompetence of the majority to regulate itself. Unseemly squabbling, ignorance of management, inability to compel a quorum, even when it has so large a majority, lack of leadership, failure to formulate any policy of action, are all so glaringly apparent that it has become an “object lesson” to the pewple that is equally instructive as the mischievous and destructive free trade Wilson bill. Men are asking everywhere throughout the country if this can be the party that, is in charge of the national administration—a party that with so large a majority is unable to govern itself. What then can be expected of its national administration? Setting aside all questions of free trade or protection, there are thousands of men who voted in 1892 to elect those who are now in power who Ere now positively afraid for

their country.

They reason, and they reason rightly, that if the leaders of this party, which has so large a majority, are unable to afford protection for itself, into what a deplorable condition must the country fall when left iu such hands. These good people forget, however, that the majority does not represent a party of protection, but that it is against jirotection and in favor of a policy of prostration. Hence its maladministration in congress is but a natural part of such policy.— American Economist.
