FIUDAY AIMUL 20 1883.
Hon. Perry Bklm6nt regards the men?
tion of Tewkbury Butler in connection with
the Presidential nomination at "newspaper
pleasantry."
It is said Secretary Chandler killed an alli-
gator in Florida but it is not likely the coun-
try is expected to btlieve it. We shall hear
if any is missing.
The Legislature of Massachusetts is be-
coming reconciled. It sustained Governor
Butler's fourth veto by a vote of 174 to 4. It
related to Notaries Public.
Is the Presidential party keeping chroni-
cles of the important events occurring in
Florida? If Arthur "gave a papoose a quar-
ter" the people would like to know it for it
has a matrimonial aspect. So i( he "handed
Tiger Tail a cigar' it denotes that he is recov-
ering his habitual suavity and politeness which
were missing before he struck the Indians.
The Indian social progress is denoted by the
event. Tiger Tail took Ihe cigar with avidity
then reached for that the President was smok-
ing lighted his own by it and restored the
borrowed gem. So far as tobacco may be
made an Indian civiltzer the prospect is good.
Tiger Tail might have kept the President's
lighted cigir smoked it and put the other in
his moccasin.
Governor Cleveland of New York has
vetoed the bill to reorganize thi Fire depart-
ment of Buffalo. The Boston Advertiser
dwells feelingly on its advantages over the
average Massachusetts veto. It is commended
for its superior brevity yet " it contains more
clear and substantial reform wisdom than there
is in everything the Governor of Massachu-
setts has written or. spoken since he was nom-
inated last September." The Advertiser dis-
covers that the object of the veto in New
York is to kill a vicious partism measure
while in Massachusetts it is to kill a non-
partisan measure from a vicious partisan or
personal motive. The way is to persuade
Governor Butler to import his vetoes from
New York.
The stature of Peter Cooper as a millionare
is so small that like the Lilliputians over
Gulliver an army of him might crawl over
the Jay Goulds and Vanderbilts. The fact is
$2ooocco are of such insignificance as to
endanger any one's preitsge in. the society in
which he moved. When these money kings
to the number of 150 gave him a dejeune
some years ago on an anniversary of his
birth could they have believed there was a
possibility of his dying almost a beggar ? On
that occasion there were present more
than 100 of the royal line of mil-
lionaires worth over $10 000000 each
only five of whom were over 40
years of age. The most of them have prob-
ably added another cypher each to the nu-
merals expressive of their improved condition
while if the old philanthropist had lived a
little longer he would have reduced himself to
pocket money. It is hardly worth while to go
out of the world worth only $2000000

free country are becoming disgusted with the
situation and have recourse (o novel and ex-
traordinary measures to bring about a change.
Such seems to be the case with the State of
Maine. She has recently pasted a law of
which the following to sections will denote
the drift:
Section 13. Anyodlecror nirrnt of nnysd.
cloty for tho provcntlon of cruelty to animals
may tnko possession of any old maimed dis
abled diseased or lnlurcd bono or other mil
mal not properly cared for and may hava the
Bamo valued by two reputable persons called
by lilm to view such horse or other animal
whereupon bo limy destroy or causo to bo de
stroyed such horso or otlior animal.
Section Hi. in tins nctlon tho word animal
shall bu held to Include every living1 creature
We lire satisfied that although disguised
with some ingenuity this statute is actually
directed against mothers-in-law wealthy
fathers and maiden aunts and generally all
persons who become obnoxious to any one
having "two reputable persons" among their
acquaintances who may be available for the
purposes o( the statute. There is no lover
of his kind so to speak whose heart has not
bled for the suffering mother-in-law under the
modes of persecution that are open to the
callous and commonly unprincipled indi
vidual who has taken from her her daughter
and in the words of the statute
left her "not properly cared for." It was
certainly a benignant and merciful providence
that led Ihe Main Legislator to consign her to
the care of the philanthropist in the manner
here provided. It may be at times embar
rassing to find " two reputable persons "
who on n joint view' will agree as to the
value of the object to be appraised. But
means will be found to overcome slight ob
stacles to the intromission of the sufferer into
a better state of existence though in some in
stances the life of the mother-in law may be
painfully prolonged. The prac.ical operation
of the law will doubtless lead to its final perfection.
The great facility which the act will afford
to the fast young man whose projenitor by
great abuses of his wealth has become pre-
maturely old disabled and diseased to come
to his relief will we think recommend it to
very general attention. The self evident fact
that everybody is better off in a better world
derives great emphasis from knowing that
such ancestor though he may not be aware
of it is badly off in this. It is quite out of
the question to follow here the thousand and
one benefits that suggest themselves to the
mind as reasonably to be expected from the
operation of this law. We have not space to
consider now its application to the lower class
of "living creaturts" mentioned in section
3. We wish we had some of these Maine
statesmen in our Legislature.
Miss Susette Eakin who died in Home in
March of Roman fever after a lone illness
was the great-granddaughter of Felix Grundy
the celebrated statesman ot lennessee the
granddaughter of the late Henry Kwing of
Philadelphia and the daughter ol the late
I'homas Eakin of New York. She was
lovely in person and so sweet so unselfish
and so winning in her character that she was
beloved by all who knew her.
Shakespeare's ltellslous Observauce.
Whatever may have been Shakespeare's
own religious beliefs (and come of his critics
have doubted whether he had any) he res-
pected the outward observances of the church.
When his brother bdmund was buried in St.
Saviour's Southwark the poet paid 20s. for a
forenoon knell ol the great bell" and some
years later there is the following entry in the
Stratford chamberlain's accounts; "Item: for
one quart of sack and one quart of claret
wine given to me preaenr-r at tne New Mace
XXd." But the good that the poet has done
for the material interests of the clergy has by
no means been "interred with his bones."
On the contrary it appears from a dispute
now pending between the Vicar of Stratford-
on-Avon and the corporation that the pro-
tccuj Ul a. ju. mil icYicu uu uu pilgrims 10
Shakespeare's tomb are devoted to paying the
stipends of the curates. The corporation are
the lay rectors and as such have rights over
the chancel where the poet is buried; and
they have now determined to insist that if the
charge is continued at all the proceeds
hall only be spent on tne labric of the
church.
London Statistic.
London is at present made up of an aggre
gation of cities having at least a score of gov
erning bodies ine reiorm legislation which
the Enclish Parliament is to enact will do
away with all this and make one grand muni
cipality wnicn win inciuae me 01a city or
London with a present population of 50000
together with 23 civil parishes 15 board of
work districts besides a large number of
other queer little districts which at present
have separate existence. The New London
will have a population of 4764315 equal to
the combined population ol the cities ol New
York Boston 1'rtfYidence Philadelphia
Brooklyn Chicago St. Louis New Orleans
Cincinnati and Baltimore; or to put it by
States a population as treat as Maine New
Hampshire Vermont Rhode Island Massa-
chusetts Connecticut and Minnesota. The
annual revenue of the new city will be almost
equal to that ol Uelgium and twice as much
ai that of the Dominion of Canada a few
years ago. It will start out wi'h a debt only
five times as laree as that of the citv of Bos
ton and but $20000000 in excess of that of
New York city 1 he deb pr caDita of the
new city of London wil be about $28 while
it is nearly $72 at Boiton and not for from
$100 at New Votk. The new citv of London.
will be in every sense of Ihe word the chief
municipality of the world and it will be many
years before it will have a successful rival in
the matter of population wealth or influence
