BUTLER TAKES SIDES.

Hi Will Sapaart the Dementia Ticket in And Glva Hia ßsiun in Pointed and Vit rom I.atat;piÄf;t t'iwil Service IIulub; Temperance yueatlon. (Boetoa bpecial to New York Sun.) Boston, October 2vi. General Benjamin T. Untier never wrote a more vigorous political document than that in which lie announced his position in the pending State canvass, and which will be published to-morrow. In it be discusses very plainly and forcibly the issues of State labor arbitration, the civil semes legislative corruption, and tbe liquor question. He arxaigna recent Republican administration in ihe 6u;e for increasing the State debt and Ihe rate of taxation, and argues that any banjje will be for tbe better. "Our State ofiice'rs," he says, "have been largely inreading in number aud in salaries at every session ot the Legislature during tbe past Soar years, New Commisaions have been ade, and old ones given larger emoluments, until, in myQ judgment our Commonwealth is overrun and overtaxed with officers. An illusory body, called Commissioners of Arbitration, has Jeen established, apparently to determine questions between the employers and laboring men. but as the Commission has Dot the slightest power to do anything, it ia as unpractical aa any other powerlesa thiDg, and only useful to pursaade laboring men that the Republican airnininralion baa given them a triouaal to decide questions in which they are interested. iheie tas been another ili-adviae-i and nseltss Commiesion created. I don't re3uember it now by its statute nam, bat It ia cot worth while to get up to look at the etatute to se what it is. I mean the Civil Service Commission, which is to exauiiiio the literary qualifications of the lüjnor ercplojees and officers of the State. If they would get a competent Commission and begin at the head of affairs, and to down, it might not be inopportune to faava it, provided men competent cou'.d he found to do it; but to oegin at the other end and come up a little ways I am against such a Commission. No man of fcusinees employs his help in that way; no corporation baa ever used euch a commission in its very larga and extensive wort, requiring a ?ret deal of executive and other ability. I tructt there are very few aaea born in Massachusetts who have received a common school education and such others as they could get, some of Which might interfere with their competency, who are incompetent to do the ordinary business of carrying on government, so more and no less. All that performance of official examination, what we call civil service reform, is utterly useless as we Inow. and utterly undemocratic. It has no part in a Democratic government, where every man may aspire to be the President of the United States, and there an be no civil service examination on that question; but if be aspires to be a Government messenger to run around aud do errands, he is to be examined as to his literary qualifications, bnt not a3 to the 2Lewa and sinews of his legs." Upon the subject of recent revelations of bribery in the New Hampshire and Maisahoeetis Legislatures, Gen. Butler uses this ."Vigroroua language: "If we are to look to the vetoes of two Republican Governors of bills passed by Xegielaturea, where the Republicans hold unapproachable majorities, it would be a natural conclo;ion that, instead of civil Bervice reform in under offices, we want legislative criminal reform in Senators and Representatives. In both these Legislatures the fact claimed to be admitted by the Governors is that it had come to pass that measures were expected to be carried er defeated wholly by the use of bribery and corruption. That, of course, must be the bribery and corruption of the majority, because the majority controls the legislation, and the very large majorities on both occasions are from the Republican party. Would it not be the part of wiidom in the people to chanze that and try to get somebody of a diilereat complexion of politics, in the hope thit Iheir representative had not been In political place long enongh to have "learned the ropes?" If legislators can not be found who can withstand the temptations of tbe briber?, then it would be wisdom to täte away that temptation. Cut you will say, "How can that be done? ' Very easily, if you can get honest legislators enough t eether to pass a proper bill against bribery. aproa law, which I would recommend to the good people of this Commonwealth EEder ibffc circumstances, leaving out details and tbe necessary verbiage of legi Malion, like thia, was passed: "If any act of the Legisistare, giving; any special privileges to any persons, sball at any time after its passage, be brought before the 8afrtuiB Court by permission of any informer, siating that bribery or alternated bribery bad occurred at its passage, upon the iact being found by the Court, the act should le declared null and void by the Court, and all property, privilege or b?neJit obtained under it ahould be forfeited by tLe Court to the Commonwealth for the maintenance of the S'ata prison, except 25 per ceot. thereof, whtctt should po to . the informer; aaa anyone lellicg the truth upon the witness stand at m heating concerning the crime, who shall have received, offered or given any bribe shall never be prosecuted for so doing'. I nope nobody will criticise the wording of -thiabill. I will draw it in form whenever th .Legislature will pass it, and I then Ventura to aay that nobody will want a bill pa3se 1 through the Legislature that has the smell f corruption upon its garment?, tecaaie the rascals who gave or took: the bribs, bavin? spent the money, will come down upon the corporators for more, which mas . be paid then, or else the corporators will loee their act. Perhaps a bill of like conditions would not e inappropriate for tbe city of Boston, although it mihthuthe ame political party In all Its provis on3." Upon the temperance question. Gen. JJutler says; 'it is time that the qnpstion re'a'.iog to the prohibition of the manufacture and ale of intoxicatin? JiVora was settled. I do not believe for one moment in tbe dodge of local option. That is not the way a government can be carried on in any regard. It each town had c Chinese wall around it a hundred feet high or less, over which bo one of its inhabitants ever passed to interfere with tbe people of the adjoining town, then it might be wIl enough 2o let flat town, being separated trim the rest of the world, settle the question of driniia spirituous liqu ira for itself, a in that it alone is interested. Rat turns are not o divided and separated. We are all init together in one combination of interests and methods of carrying on civil government, and if liquor is sold without limit or stint in one town, the youth of another town, whose fathers believe that the common use of intoxicating liquor is a calamity, and that the sale of it with the ordinary enticements la a curse, and therefore prohibit Che sale In their community, will be enticed into the town where it ia sold, and they are brought to their ruin and perhaps death, and the men made drunk in that community, whose option ia to that effect, will stray into the other town and commit the crimes and offences which in so large a legre are influenced or Induced by the great use of liquor. 1 have no opinion to give upon the question of the enactment of a law for the prohibition of the aale of Intoxicating liquors. Personally, I will grte, if the thing could be done, never to drinx a glass of intoxicating liquor if every one else wonld refrain from drinking tabituauji Batjrhafj, fltx, ft n M

that thia Com moo wraith should be governed by laws pa&aed by its Legislature without the taint oi alleged bribery and corruption, which should operate upon every man, woman and child equally in restraint, in protection, and in aid. If the will of the people is that the manufacture acd the sale of liquor ahould be prohibited, let it be expressed in the form of law; and with hontet magistrates and prosecuting officers to carry out that law, it can be enforced. This I know from experience of years eons pa.st. If it canuot be enforced, let there be a system of licenses which shall in part indemnify the people for tbe loss they will sustain from the aale of intoxicating liquor be passed, with a proviso that never has been upon licenses, and therefore they have been the most fruitful sources of encouragement of the sale of intoxicating liquor, and that is that no llcsnsed persod shall sell any liquor to anybody to ba cold a train, except tne buyer be a licensed person. Tbe licensee under the present law may cell to anybody who is not drunk, and keep his license, and therefore he ia tempted, and the temptation largely prevails, to sell all the liquor he can to any persons who want it to sell again who are not licensed and who keep little shops all over the country, which are the discharging rills among the community of tbe liquor of the licensed person. Bat to go back. Exactly what I desire is that this matter should be settled by legislation and brought before the people as a question, unhampered by national politics, and this is our chance. Entertaining these news, therefore, 1 feel that I ought to vote for Mr. Lovering as chief executive officer. lis was a good soldier in the war. and sich men are generally as good officers in time 3 of peace." WOMAN'S LOVE.

Is it True That Mau Hay Win it by Perhiste&t KJtort? Theodore YVlatoa la Mi', wan tee Wisconsin.! 'Somebody once said I never remember names that any woman without a positive hump ca marry any nan Bhe pleases. I believe that any man even with a hump can marry any woman he pleases." A murmur of disapprobation aro3e from the petticoated listeners. "And the only requisite is persistence, with some little measure' of judgment." The murmur grew to a clamor, but the speaker was also a woman, and a very bright one at that. SLia waited until the tumult of indignation and ejaculation had tubs! led, and then preached us the following liale termoa from the above assertion as a text: "Of coarse, I cannot make this an absolute statement, but it is a very general rule, and as such hes no more than the orthodox number of exceptions. Once ia a while a woman cannot be won by merely dog like following; and it two men chance to set their affections on the same object one of them will eventually have to yield unless they go to Utah inverted (though tfnlly); but that does net pertain to the eübjfct. "Usually a man has but to get hia eye upon the eoal, and then steadily pursue it, through thick and thin, weal and woe, deviating only enough to make food for reflection, slowing up only enough to get a header for a fresh start, and some time he is bound to get there. It may take years. He may lead to the altar anything but a girlish bride, but the game, such as it i, ia hi. and bound to be his. "Not one woman in a thousand can withstand constant, enduring affection. She may personally have no predilection for the man, and her sense may be altocother on the other side of the scales, bnt if he tells her she is the one woman in the world, and continues to tell her, by words when convenient, by actions always, he will f-oon have a place in her emotions that no other man baa or can have. In fact (confidentially), I believe that woman's love is generally cobbing but a reflection. Otherwis?, how is the usually so eaamoured of the man the mates with? She hns no free choice in the matter. She cannot select what Bhe naturally likes and admires, but must take what is offered. Thus I believe that while a man usually marries a woman whom he is first atracted to by admiration, a woman's attachment has very seldom that basis. Aftar marriage, however, the affection of the wife who took him because he alone ofT?red himself is by no means less than that of the husband who chose her from among 10,000. On the contrary, it is unquestionably deeper, more fervent, longer lived. But it is not founded on the same basis. It has its roots, not in the man's virtues and attractions, but in his feeling for hereelf. She adores him because ha first adored her a flittering illustration of oar lack of vanity, you see. "Now, my friends, none of you can deny this. There is no one of you but knows that the moment you find' cut that a man is in love with you he acquires an added interest in your eyes. When he vows you are an angel you discover that he has good taste, at least; and when he sighs he will die without you, you realize, for the first time, probably, what the body politic might become without him. In short, if he is in love with you, you are to a certain eitenr, aaa pernaps only temporarily, at first in love with him; but if bis ardor continues, since like cautes products Hie effec's. he constantly rises in your eyes until finally well, Pope wasidrformtil naa and so was liyroa; you don't measure a man by his shoulders. But, gi.-l?, yoi Tnever chese a huraphick, physically, intellectually or morarlly. He chooses you and he just kept after yon until he got jou." At this a couple oi the virgin members of the audience twisted their ring Bets Into the palms of their hands and thoughtfully spoke of the fashions in passementeries. A GENUINE JESTER. A Story A Hoot On of frnideat Clevaland's Messengers. The president has only one of his oldtitte Buffalo aupp;rtera in the White House, or in any capacity near him, says Wahin'ton correspondent of the Galveston News. That ia Cape. Jester, who was brought from Albany soon after the inauguration and was assigned to a place aa meeeeuger in the executive mansion. Capt. Jester is a tall man of about 40, who is verv quiet and sedate, and who always seems to carry a weight of responsibility on hia shoulders. He his a war record, too, and it is a good one. He was only 1 years of age when he entered tbe army, and he fought bravely with the regiment of New York cavalry to which he was attached. But the captain seldom talks of trs experience as a soldier. His friends tell tales about him occasionally, however. Here ia a rather g3od story which one of them told to-day. It has a somewhat chestnutty ilavor, but Jester admits that be was the very man: Atarizbt near City Point Jester's company was doing infantry service, when one of his comrades was wounded. "Ob, Jester," said the poor fellow, "I am wounded in the leg and can't walk, Carry me to the rear." Jester picked up the fellow who weighed about 1K0 pounds, and threw him over his shoulder, lie had walked about half way to the hospital when he met another comrade. In the meantime a cannon ball had cut of the wounded man's head. Tne third party said ! "Where are you taking that man!" "I m taking him to the hospital," said Jester. "Why you fool, the doctors can't do him any good, he ain't (got no head," said the peak er. Jester waa very tired. He lifted tbe body from hia ahoulder and, throwing It violently to the ground, exclaimed; "Qol darn hia pictures, he told me that he was shot in the foot" This ii reason why Jeeter will never give a cent to the betir who savs that he lost his arm or leer while in a tight near the scene ot I captajp jl xrultleas Un,

BIKING POWDER ANALYZED.

Report of ths Okie Stats FaoJ Camaission Upon Uta Piinc;pU ßnak Tkir .tireaf th auil Value OiueiaJly Ascertained A Lr(t Htrrabrr Impart and Unwh1eoae. The Ohio State Dairy and Fool CjtntniS' sioner, Cian. B. 11. Hurst, has made public (Circular No. 0) the results of the Cooaniseioner'a investigation ot baking powdtr. The Commission was formed by the Legislature, with instructions to make an examination of the food supply of the S;ate. and to give a report of such examination to the public. The examination of the baking powders was made by Professor H. A. Weber, State Chemist, and relating as it does to an article of dally use in the food of almost every one, is of particular interest. The rather startling fact is brought out by the report, that of tbe thirty diflerent brands of baking powder analyzsd, compoeisg about all those sold in the State, twenty of them are male from alum, a substance declared by the highest medical authorities to be injurious to health when used in food. Tbe commissioner classifies the baking powders into three general divisions, accordlce to their value: 1st. Cream of Tartar ttiking Fdivierj. 2d. ri ospbate Taking Powders. Öd. Alum l?i tint; Powders. The object of oakirjg powders is, when mixed in tba Hour and subjected to moisture, to generate a leavening gi in tha donb, which will raise tbe bread and cause it to be porous and light. The comn'isinner explains that tbe best baking powder fs that which, the ingredients belDg healthful, gives o3 the largest amount of leavening gas and leaves the smallest amount of residuum in the bread. A Email amouut of carbonate of ammonia, which is considered healthful, is used in some of the cream of tartar powders to give them a higher strength. The commission Bay that pure alam is undodbtedly a hurtful salt, and that the resultant salts from lis combination with soda as formed in the bread, can scarcely be less hurtful. The report ranks the powders and stmj tbe amount in eacb ot the inert resultants, which in using it would appear as residuum in tbe bread, as follows: re KAM OF TART A a PiW'Eft.-,. Per .;Tit.

ForcfctCity J1.01 The large amount of inert matter or resi duum in both the phosphate and alum powders will be noted. This in the phosphate poitders is largely oflime: in tinalum powders it is chieiiyalum. It will be gratifying to the public to observe that the powder in most general U3e, the Royal, is also the purest. In comparing the first two powders on the lidt, for instance the Royal and Dr. Price's the inert matter in Price's is seen to be about five In aeven more than in the former, a difference of 71 3-7 percent, the II oval beinz purer than Price's by a corresponding figure. Ihe carbolic or leavenma: gai prjdaced by tbe powders indicates their strength; and their true value may be ar3rtaiuei by considering the amount of this gis in con nection with their inert matter or residucm as shown abova.

York aun. Jerome Bonaparte, who has been atopDiDgatoneot the quiet up town hotels a few days, is one of the most reserved and exclusive of men. He hm the aristocratic manner, but is not haughty, and though be spends a few weeks every year In Paris, yet he expects to make Washington his home and end bis days there. Hia home there is a fine one, but he does not entertain very much except very blue-blooded persons. He is a thorough horseman and a good reineman, and when he has charge of a spirited team many persons fsncy the expression on his face is very suggestive of that which aome of tbe pictures of bis ereat uncle Napoleon have. When in New York Mr. Bonaparte is fond of strolling up Fifth avenue. The Mepsenzr'n Mary. Chicago Mall. Thursday afternoon, when Ja2?e McAllister had given his desison aeainst IMa Wren, some of the old lawyers were talking and one of tbem ratold this story. It will not be new to the old settlers, but a good many thousand have come into Chicago since tbe incident. An employe of the Adams Express Comfany bad been assaulted in his car while n tne discharge of hia duty. The combat between him and tbe robbers waa one of tbe most heroic in the history of train rob beriea. Tbe messenger had in bts stfc about $-'.".0.000. He was riddled by bullets and fought like a tiger. He was wounded in four or five places, lie saved the money for the company almost at the sacrifice of hia life. The company made him a present of $1,000. Some time after the messenger In a speculative mood, when he heard, or thought he heard, fortune knocking at hia door, took funds of the company, invested them and lost. The same old story. The amount was trifling. The man was arrested and Indicted. His wife, a devoted one as the sequel proved, used CTWT tfJTitt IfhiSJl wjaiu;; XsZHUitJ

could echema. Such events teat a woman's capacity to be heroic. fJhe went East and importuned the president of the express company for mercy, but came back with no word of promise. Ths case was to be tried by Judge McAllister. In her desperation the woman did what few lawyers would have dared attempt. She went to Jndge McAllister and pleaded her cue. She bad papers to satisfy him of the action of her husband in defence of the com-

nv'fl funds. McAllister listened to er and it is believed that he investi-. gated tbe case before it came on trial, and learned that the wife's story was true in mry detail. Oa the hearing ot the case, Judge McAllister said he would postpone a decision in the case until the next day, when be wanted as many people to be on hand as desired to come. On the following day the court room was crowded. The prisoner was told to stand up. McAllicter then reviewed the case, giving a graphic recital of the fight which the messenger had to save the company's funds. Then taming to the nrisoner, he said: "I discharge you, and in doing si take all the responsibility upon myslf. I am willing to face the world in thie decision." Tbe decision end description of the scene were elaborately Riven the next morning, end no murmur not even from the express company has been heard about it from that day to this. the rrABODr letter. The publication a few days since of tbe fac-simile of President Teabody's letter ia s. ill the subject of much comment. It used to be considered a question of propriety to say a kind word of the result of a treatment other than that prescribed by a regular practitioner: and the time was whea a man using an advertised remedy did so more or less surreptitiously. However, this has happily given away to a broader and more liberal view of things, typiiied in Mr. l'ea body's frank expression that he knows of no valid reason why commendation ahould net be equally as hearty in oue instance as in the other. Certainly this would appear fair in the face of the facts. lie was assured that the injury would conCne him to the house for three weeks or more, yet in three days use of the Oil he was out aud about bis duties as if nothing had happened. Burely a remedy that willao practically demonstrate its efUcacy and that has stood foremost, us had fct. Jacobs Oil, upward of tea years as unapproachable for the eradication of pain, 13 justly entitled to rank as a standard. That many physicians prescribe it is as true as that many physicians usa it, and it is only those of the very old school who, true to ancient doctrines, can see no good in it, because it is made known to the world. Not long since one of these dropped a confidential note to a friend requesting threo bottles be tent for his personal use immediately, as without it his hands were "simply no hands at all. but," continued he, "for Heaven's sake don't tay 1 said bo." This Li literally true. SENTINEL SCRAP-BAG. A priest's skull cap is bla:k, a C ardin il's is red, and the Pope's Is white.

A young man covered with tbe dust o travel walked into a recruiting station in Portland, Ale., the other day, and wanted to enlht. he was examined and rejected because he weighed only 125 pounds. He said that he had walked front the northern part of the state; that he weighed l pounds when he started, and that he thought he .would fat up some if he had a chance. The recruiting officer told him to call (gain, and in less than a week he did, and had gained so decidedly in flesh that he waa readily accepted. Young Charles Taimalee, of Ansonia, CousecticQt, had a tremendous scare the other night. He waa walking on the railroad track after dark and caught hia foot between a plank and a rail at a crossing. While trying to get free he heard an approaching train. Aa he struggled it came nearer and nearer, until just as i f ludaup hia mUA t9X death, the headlight howed

bim that he waa on a switch and not on the main line. After the train thundered by, a watchman released him. He was very lame for several days. At Cane Hill, Ark., one night recently, James Houston was awakened by a noise under bis bed. Lighting a lamp he looked under and saw what he at first supposed to be a cat, bat when he struck it witn a cane a big euake darted after him. He drove it back under the bed, took his wife to a neighbor's for safety, and went back and killed the serpent with a pitchfork. It measured eleven feet nine inches in length, bad stripes running diagonally around its body, and bad recently swallowed three young kittens. Herr Wichmann, of the German ReichStag, is a very absent-minded man. He gave an illustration of thia peculiarity ths other day, when, in calling tbe roll, he came to his own name. He" called it, and received no answer. Then' he called it aain in a louder tone. Still no reply. The third time he called his name, this time with a tremendors shout, as though he knew the owner of the ramewas ia the house and ought to answer, and it was only the roars of laughter that followed that brought him to hia senses. Kditor Twitchell, ot the Gorbam(Me.) Mountaineer, values highly hia grandmother's spinniBg-wheel, for it has a pretty history.

As one of the through trains Westward Btopped at Altoona in the mornicg. it was boarded by a young man with about a dozen newspapers under h?s arm. He were on his head a Union News company cap, and looked not nclike the young torments who diop boxes of candy in the 1ds of ptssengers. After the train had started he found that the 'regular newsboy of the traia was in the smoking car, and he accordingly made for the rear end. Whila going through he called out the papers he had, aedby doing this he safe'y passsi ;the conductor. One of the pa33(n ??rs bought a paper from him. and was not a little surprised at what the psp?r contained. His eye happened to strik? somelhiag about Chr.'strr:83, and then looiin? at the date, be taw the paper was nearly a year old. By this time the boy tbat soil the paper was in another car, and the real train-boy was just then entering. The ps.S3enger pourced upon him and demand 2d the return cf his money, and threatened to report the boy when he pot to Pittsburg. Tho result of this mistake was that the fraudulent "newsie" was put off. Sale ot Starch Work. I r.AMii.i5, October I'D. 8pecial.
