Gen. Benjamin F. Butler has declined to act for Guiteau, notwithstanding the urgent appeal of his relatives. It is" not generally known that Gan. Butler some years ago made a vow never to enter a criminal court again as counsel for a prisoner under indictment.

Tlie reason he assigns for such action carries with it quite a history. It appears that during his second term in congress one of his henchmen a faithful was sheriff of one of the counties in bis congressional district, received a telegraphic dispatch from the sheriff ot an adjoining county asking him to arrest a prisoner who had escaped from bis custody and was on board an incoming train. On the arrival of the train in (luestion the culprit was arrested, and" the sheriff locked him up temportirily in tbe railroad depot, from which he subsequently escaped. Pursued by tbe sherift, tbe prisoner halted at tbe bank of a creek, produced a pistol, and l.breatened his pursuer with" death should he advance one step furtlier. The courageous sheriff, though unarmed, did not liesitnto in the di.scharge of his duty, and met bis death in consequence.

Tbe man was hunted down and in a short time safely lodged in jiiil. Then came the funeral of his victim, at which Gf-n Butler, next wi ncted-j mourner. "Some six as chief months after this," says Gen. Butler, "I was in the criminal court, when the prisoner before mentoned was arraigned for trial. In answer to the presiding judge he ropreaeuted birSself us lieing without counsel, and requested that I sliould be assigned to defend him, which request was granted.

I pleaded all sorts of excuses, but iu the state of Massacbusetls a similar request from a prisoner on trial for his life never passes unheeded, and I was compelled to act as defender of the very man who had so cruelly deprived one of my best friends of bis life. Once assigned," said he, "I forgot everything but my oflicial oath as an attorney, and succeeded so well for my client that in tbe end ho was convicted of a minor degree of manslaughter, entailing only a few years' incarceration in jail. Then came the hue cry of my political enemies. is tbe they said, 'who escorts the widow to the grave at the funeral of his faithful henchman, weeps crocodile tears, and then defends the assassin and assists him in defeating the ends of justice," 'At the next said' Gen. Butler, "1 did not get even one vote in that district, thoueh heretofore they bad been unanimously cast in my interest.

Can you then wonder at my registering a vow never to enter a criminal court A Judge's Experience. Judgde J. T. Bossier, of St. Tammany parish, and of the State Legislature, thus expressed his opinion to one of our representatives: "I have found St, Jacobs Oil to be very efllca- oiooi in.

Republican's correspondent, writing from Brownsvillej under date of April 20, gives particu lars of tbe teirible cyclone. He says the wildest confusion reigned all day. The town is crowded with people from the surrounding country, who flocked in to see the devastation. Tbe work of clearing the debris was commenced after the storm passed, has been kept up constantly and incessantly ever since, but it will require several, days to thoroughly overHSul tbe ruins. Two more dead bodies were exhumed and it is thought there is still a woman and child beneath the ruins.

E. G. Biggerstafl was on the itreet when the two stofm clouds united and made their terrible rush for the town. He stood directly in the line of the Cunnel-shaped cloud, and thinking to get out of its way, started to run, but had proceeded not more than a dozen yards when he was enveloped and drawn up several feet above the ground and hurled against a brick buildinj', but escaped without even a briiise. lie says while be wa.s up in the air, and within the whirling vortex of the cloud, he beard-a terrible crackling sound and could see myriads of sparks flying round, evidently otthe electrical kind.

The storm didn't last more than a minute, and when it passed, all parts town trtou'c: waste. The first house the storm struck was a two-story brick building on the corner of Main and Spring streets, occupied by Myers Duensing, dry goods; Thomas Andrews, clothuag; A. thelsea, groceries, and A. S. Reinhart, of which were lifted from their foundations and hurled into the street, burying the inmates and killing three outright.

The storm then continued northeast, demolishing a number of (fwellinga on tlie way to the brick block on Lexington avenue, a- seven-story brick building was destroyed and others badly damaged. The Brokville hotel, a large two-stary frame, was completely carried away aad the timbers scattered 1,000 yards around. The brick public- school building was cut down to tbe first windows. The school had been dismissed about fifteen minutes before the storm. The Christian church was also destroyed.

About twenty frame and brick dwellings were demolished and a great loss, at least $75,000, is sustained. The force of the wind was so great that it lifted a brick Dullding clear off its foundations, and frame buildings were picked up bodily and twisted into splinters. The carpeti and furniture in the dwellings were carried entirely out of town and loged in tree tops, and lumber yards were scattered all over the country. Several pieces were found a mile distant from the house which was carried fifty feet and hurled against a brick wall, and two miles out in the country a fence rail was driven entirely through the body of a cow. The home physicians have been relieved by others from Sedalia and adjacent towns and the wounded have been nearly allattended to.

A largo number of persons are rendered homeless. The cyclone is fully equal to that of Richmond in 1878, or Marsbfield in 1879. A special train was run from Sedalia to-day, and tlie proceeds of tbe trip, about liOO, was donated to the sufferers. Another train will be run tomorrow for the same purpose. The mayor has issued a proclamation stating that donations will be received by the committee for distribution.

No new facts were developed. At Montrose eighteen dwellings and seven churches were destroyed. A number of I'armhouges in the vicinity are demolished. Canadian Independence, Montreal SpociHl to'noicon Herald. At the annual dinner of the "Club composed of Canadians in that city.

President Cannon, in proposing the toast, "Canada: upon the-subjecti of Canadian independence. He said their position to-day was a very dependent one, as they were not only subjects of tbe queen, but subjects of her subjects. They aspiretl higher than that, and hoped to found a republic and a Canadian nationality. Cir. cumstances were in their favor, and tbey were confident ihey would succeed.

The toast was responded to by Hon Mr. Mercer, member of the Provincial legislature and formerly member of the liberal cabinet of Mr. In the course of an able speech he said he had come to the conclusion that it was bis dutyJo-go even as far as independence. Their duty to Canada waa fourfold: "First, to maintain English constltu- tlOL 'al government; second, to spread public education; third, to develop the oountry'sTnaterial resources, and fourth, to create a national sentiment so great as to obtain their full rights. He had the greatest I espect for "Victoria both as woman, wife and mother, and as a constitutional sovereign; but the child can not always remain dependent on tbe parent, and the time was now come when Canada had become a man, and the separating hour had arrived.

The speeches were nearly all in similar tone There were no merchants or persona of Influence present belonging to the city. Still, the event is entirely a new 'departure in Canada. The Wheat Outlook, Toiicka Cnpltiil, Aptll 'U. It is customary, with tbe comuig of everyseason, for.the newapapersJo as; aert that the prospective crop will be "the largest ever known in the history of the state," or at the very least "one of the largest," It makes no diSeience what the past season may have been, whether drouth, or chinch bug, or grasshopper has played hayoc with everything and everybody, the prophecy is always the same. It need take but a glance backward, at any time with the facilities now possessed for observation, to become not only reasonably well acquainted with things as tbey then existed, but to foretell the future.

Tlierefoie, when the assertion is made that the wheat prospect for 1882 is very flattering, the same can be backed up not only by the reports received from different sections of tbe state, but fronj analogy as well. Every Jews and Jew-Baiters. ol IlieTiiiip," in tim May fi-iitui-y. Prejudices often survive the reason for their existence, like seme ill weeds that grow again after they have bten uprooted. In the Middle the Jews were believed to be an accursed race of deicides.

The guilt ot Herod and of the chief priests of time was supposed to have diffused itself, by a transfer and transmission understood only by the speculative theologian, to tho whole Jewish race. It was, therefore, consideied monl meritorious and well-pltitsiiig lo God tc make their lives as wretclit-d as possible, in atonement for the oiifferiiig of Christ. According to distinctive badges were worn by these beirsi of perdition, that noljody might mistake them for Christians, and tliey were required lo dwell in separiite that they might not by any chance associate with so-called arrangement which, no doubt, saved the Jews from a great deal of Ijad company. In countries, laws were made to keep them from inoreasing; in others, tliey were occasionUy thinned out by pefsecutlon massacre. When any great; drouglit or other scourge befell a nation, the anger of heavon -was appeasod by a ciusade agaiust the Jews, who were bani.slu-d or put to death for sins of higli- prlest Ananias, iia in like manner the Puritans in boston to turn away the of God, disclosed in the Quakers.

There waa not much encouragement to people situated as the Jews were to keep visible property, and hence they came to bn dealers in financier.s ot Europe; and since the Jew was destined tn perdition ex ojjlido, he alone in England was perniittw! to receive usury for liij money. To justify all this outrage, prejudice easily invented, diargea a.t 'Hiiist tbe Jews more injurious than tluit of taking exorbitant interesi. It would have been wonderful, indeed, if badgered, beaten, driven from luiid to land, did not in turn lay up a score? of bittred on his own side Uuit would now and then break out in words and acts. But the wildest stories were set a- going, of cliildron carried off by Jews to be circumcised and even to lie crucified. It waa under the stimulus ol' such slanders that, at tlie close of thf thirteenth century, tlie aCler suffering outrage and robbery, were exiled from England, many of them being plundered and pitched into the sea on their passage to the Continent by mariners zealoas to promote Christianity.

Not all of Christendom li -as come out of barburisr .1 yet. There are regions where tlie Jews stili suflei from tbe folly and fanaticism of llieir neighbors. In Russia io-day. as in E-igland live hundred years agii, the irresponsible, despotism and blind fatial.ici-;m that bear so heavily up.n tlie Jews seek to justify themselves by recounting wrongs, real and iraagiiiiirj', by the Jew. But "all the rest of Christomend has long found out that the p.implu remedy for all tbe wiongi, real or imaginai'y, wrou iiit dy the Jews la f'e stand before the law on the suma.level with other liuniaii beings.

The Jews are not worse tliiin other people. Tlie rascally Jew is not more viliaiiunis than the rasciiliy Christian. The race furnishes, by fill account, a larger pro- liortion of eminent men tlr-m any otlier. Dr. Guthrie, the Scotch diviiie, waa accustomed to s.ay that the best brains of modern timea were in the beads of Jews.

Jesse James In Heaven, Tbe only newspaper which liaa thus far published an obituary of llie late Mr. James which was in iiny v.ay worthy of the importance of its subject is The Journiil.

There are persons who have made a study of the river problem who maintain tjiat a continuous system of levees iritended to confine the channel would do more liarra than good.

In their opinion it would have tendency to raise continually the level of the river's bed and necessitate periodical additions to tbe height and strength of the levees, at the same time Increasing the destructive power of overflows if the bounds should at any time give way or be overwhelmed. These persons as a rule advocate a system of outlets into la-ge basins, which would not only teinporsrily receive the surplus waters, but would present wide areas to be fertilized by the sediment of the streams.
