When Ben Was Frislcy.
HOW HE SCARED ALL THE GIRLS IN
HIS MADCAP DAYS.
Benjimin F. Butler, whan a youth,
was as great a madcap as ever en
tered tha halls cf a college. In all
jokes, adventures and escapades, he
wa the acknowledged ringleader.
On "one occasion, when a lecture was
to bo jjfjjvered in athe chapel of tho
u nl versjfltw h iciBMidrn t
"tho bfc" determined to have some
fun, and, as it wai to ba entirely
original, the ruanagenjent of tbe affair
was turned over to young Butler.
It was known that the prettiest girls
in town were to be present. Accord
ingly, on the afternoon of the even
ing in question, Butler instructed
each of his companions to catch all
the swallows possible, and to hold
them in readiness for the night. This
was done, and the boys assemble
with oiio or more of the birds con
cealed about his person.
On entering the hall the young
collpgians separated and took seats
in different portions of the room, each
keeping an eve on the ruling npirit
of the hour. Yhen the lecture was
about one-third finished the signal
was given and the imprisoned birth
released. Every swallow niadu
straight for a lic;hr, and r.t tbe same
instant the gas was extinguished and
ihe cry raised of Bts!" The ladies
and children screametf, tbt boys cried
'Firol" and the greatest amount of
suppositious kisiing took plac' among
the students. When the lights were
relit much of the male element of-the
tudienc bad disappeared, and it was
deemed unnecessary to ask any ques
lions. Everybody soon knw thtt it
was one of lbs pranks of Ben But
ler. "Washington Republican."
Startling Plot fob Wholesale
Assassination. One of lha most'serT--ational
assasFinatians of the most
primiHent men in San Francisco,
rame to light on tbe 15th inst. Some
time ago th police obtained informa
tion of the -existence of an organiza
tion called "the Socialistic Revolu
tionary Association," which, it was
asserted, was - composed of ultra So
ciaiiiUic members. A close watch was
kept on their movement?, and the
police finally succeeded in obtaining
the minutes of one of their meeting?,

the fact whs discovered that it was
Jie intention of the Association to
'put out of tbe way" about twenty
men, including W. T. Coleman, Con
grpssman V. W. Morrow, General
W. H. L. Barnes, Mayor Bartlett,
United Slates Judge Lorenzs'Sawyer,
Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker,
Governor Stonemau, the principal
police officials and several others.
These names were placed on a "pre
scriptive list," and placed Tn the hands
of an executive eotrmittee to carry
out the orders of tho Association.
The committee were to devise the
best mode of accomplishing the ends
of the' base plot, and were thus en
gaged when their work was brought
.o a sudden termination, by the dis
covery oi the Association's headquar-

and there purpose was to get rid of
the citizens named, and then razo

Fast Young Men.
Most cities and large towns are curs
ed with a lot of useless young fellows'
wbo seem to have no object iu living
but to enjoy themselves, Ther are,
in most eaasn, tbe sent ef respectable
and indnstrious parents. They are
know as "fast young men." They
are dronts in society. All iareartiga
tion of the cause which mattps-.a ra-
spectable boy become a "fa yaany
man" will show that therelis1 seise!
thjcg wrongjn the lysteSToMraining
up tbe youth in Uiis country. The
want of that solid instruction which
can be given at the fireside and in the
daily acts ofparents and guardians,
that inculcates the duties each one
owes, first to his Creator, and next to
his fellow-men, who, had he devoted
his youth to some useful purpose
would be an ornament to society.
The petted boy is in danger of develop
ing into a fast young man. Having
his wants and every wish gratified, ho
soon loses his balance, associates with
vicious companions, frequents the
theatre and gambling hall, and be
fore manhood swears lika a trooper
and wallows in the mire of impurity,
lie looks down on his father as an
"old fogy," and is not a little aihampd
oE his origin. Late hours, vicious
companions and dissipation complete
his character, and he is ready for any
crime. The local columns of the daily
press are constantly filled with the
doings of fast young men. The nvil
eximple of this clans is working un
utterable injury to tociety. Parents,
and thoso who have the care or guard
ianship of youth, should never permit
a "fast young man" to enter their
house. W fea that parents " tco
frequently f forget the duties tbey owe
their children. We would remind
them that, "though tho civil law does
not take cognizance of dereliction of
duty in thTs" Tespct, there is a higher,
holier law. before whose dread tribunal

Kome, December 10 The trial
commenced here to-day of a butcher
named Tozzio, and his wife, son and
daughter, who are charged with the
murder of one Poggi, also a butcher.
The motives for the crime were trade
jealousy and family disputes. Poggi
was entraped in Tozzio's cellar, where
the murder was committed. The
body of the victim was cut into pieces
and the remains were scattered in a
suburban wood. The blood was boiled
into black puddings, which were sold
in Tozzo's shop. He made a confess
ion to-day. He narrated the story in
court with cold blooded cynicinm
which provoked howls of fury, the
audience yelling: "Away with him to
the scaffold." In reply the murderer
tauntingly screamed: "Here I am,
tear me to pieces." Tha terrible story
has treated intense excitement through
out the city.
A story is told ot one of our prom
inent railroad officials which should
not be lost. The magnate's keen eye
one day discovered in the Helena
"Herald" an advertisement announc
ing that 50 cents, enclosed to a certain
address in Butte, would elccit the in

LrC7i. ogan's DeclinatioiU
There was eminent propriety and
good taste in the nomination of Gen
eral Logan for President of tbe Sen
ate b the Republican caucus in Wash
ington yesterday, and, equal tjood
'sense in the General's declination of
the honor. The caucus could hardly
have done less than offer the place to
the men r.BiimUd Ja&d supported for
tke Vie Presdeaey lay the satire Ra-
SWMaiTwirty r a . y ?,' There
i i - iMTT " -. - i-'
"'PuTd-'hnvft Vnen' ipiTefpmMU-i dl
courtesy to him in any other court).
General Logan's frank confession of
distaste for the duties ef a presiding
officer, and of preference for the
activities cf the floor and the com
mittee rooms, furnished a sufficient
reason for declining the officer, and-
v
justified the belief that he would haveV
declined it if there had been no other.
The General makes no secret of his
desire for the Presidential nomination
in 1SS8, and the fast that his position
as an aspirant would have been eeri
ously injured by a three years' tenancy
of the Vice Presidency, no doubt
strengthened his determination to
avoid such a pc-riod of suspended polit
ical animation in thatjiost of dubious
honor.
Having received the unanimous in
dorsement of the Republican Senator-,
and escaped entanglements in tbe nets
of the Senate chair, General Logan is
at this time tho most promising and
prominent aspirant, in his party ft,r
the Presidency in 188S, and those who
believe he would be the strongest can
didate the parly could put in tne field,
are both numerous and influential.
