That eminent statesman Hamburg Butler, in address to his constituents, says he has endured abuse without J,-,,- ..ii fnr thp s:i!;e of that be- loved cotton and peanut section of the Union known as South Carolina. But now he proposes to defend himself. He gives notice that he will submit tono indignities from Senators, Says Butler. I hope they will not repeat it. If they do repeat it, take my word for it I will give them as good as they send. I will add that I never can consent to degrade myself to the level of brutal ity, cowardice, and blackguardism which characterized their conduct to ward me : The Boston Traveler mildly re sponds : It is interesting to hear a man who organized a mob to commit one of the most barbarous acts of modern times, talk about a -cowardly attack" upon himself when he was "disarmed." As for a peer, Hamburg Butler has none, and should wait until some fiend like Thomassen, with an infernal machine, is elected to the Senate, before he talks about being a peer. In the meantime he should remember that the North "won't scare worth a cent." and that tis threats won't go so far as they did In the days when "Bully Brooks" swaggered about the Capitol bearing a cane red with better blood than flows in the veins of his success or. The North is taking note of the ; kind of condition which Hamburg But er represents. Inter-Ocean. "Wasn't I glad when atlast the little bov's suit of black and white cotton goods was completed?

Then I knew what must have happened, forl had nlip:ilv learned that the black would run into the white at the least touch of water, making an ugly brown of it all. Yes, he bad tumbled partly into thp lntp. nnd such a looking nether rarments as he wore! Rut now they look almost "as good as new. and tins is now i uiu u,mum ed by the advice of a kind neighbor. I put a pailful of clean warm water in n.r tni-i find mixed in it about two ouarts of bran, (had to sift it of my graham flour, but the bran is so course this time that I was glad to get it out). In this I put the garment and washed it bv rubbing wet bran into it with my" hands while in the water, rubbing especflilv the big brown spot wliicli covered almost half of the cloth. I wrung it out of this, and put it into a nail of water in which a large table- spoonful of salt was disolved, rinsing it well, and then rinsing it again in clean water. You would not readily suspect that the trousers had ever X 11 If! been washed, or wet at an. .ansa Beecher, I see, recommends washing all calico that fades in bran water, 1 r.ltn llllf nf rinsing also in nran .. course she would rinse again m clear water to remove the bran.
