B. F. Butler.
Pomeroy's Democrat.
That thing qf beauty who is such a
joy. to himself forever,1 so long as
there is anything around worth reach
ing; - and whose name is Ben Butler,
is emptying his sentiments out a lit
tie at a time. When the old spoon
thief, silverware lifter and woman
insulter has his belly full . of good
grub and is rot worried, he is suave
and slickery as half-masticated slip
pery elm bark; and , thus he slimes

over ine duojic as some reptilian
specimen does over the innocent rab
bit that happened to be in the wrong
lot. But let him be nudged up a lit
tla and thrown, off his guard, and out
comes a chuak of the real sentiment.
A few days since he gave to some
faithful reporter his honest opinions
of the laboring men of this - country,
apd declared that they would all sell
their votes at two dollars each. This
he gave out flat, as his deliberate
opinion
Tins being his opinion of the labor
ing men of this country, the wonder
is that so great a man I could ever
bring his bleary face down low enough
to be kissed by them. The only so
lution is that he counted on using
them as the traditional monkey used
the paw of the cat that saw so much
Of beauty in the beast.

- A Uletlinm Exposed.
A Hartford (Conn.)1 dispatch to the
New York Herald gives the following
account of an exposure in V that, city
or an alleged medium: Since the
expose of the memorable Katie King
swindle in Philadelphia- there 'has
been no more thorough revelation of
one of the so-called spiritual mediums
han that in this city Wednesday
night of 3lxs. Eugenie Bestof of . Wash
ington, D. U. Among her Washmg-
on sitters recently, was Mrs. James
McManus, of this, city ; daughter of
the senior editor of the Hartford
Times. Mrs. McManus is inclined to
investigate the mysterious, including
spiritualism. ; She became convinced
that Mrs. Beste was a fraud and con
cluded to invite her to Hartford,
where the opportunities were better
or arranging : an expose, and she
would not have tie advantages of her
Washington house in avoiding detec
tion. MrSi Ueate was ; located at a
private residence ; in : the city and
gave two seances without interfers
ence, while Mrs. McManus, with Mrs.
Wrisley and other ladies she had,,
brought into the plot, were pertect
ing their plans. Wednesday - night
everything was ripe for the expose.
A circle of twenty was formed, only
five of w horn were not in the secret.
Two stalwart employes of the Times
office were concealed in an apartment
adjoining the seance room awaiting
the signal. A spirit called JNettie
emerged from the cabinet, clothed in
a long robe which shed a pale phos
phorescent, light in the darkness. The
two men sprang m the room. The
spirit gave a piercing shriek, and
one exclaimed, 'That . won't do, old
Spirit t welve got you Lights came;
the drapery was torn trom the head,'
and Mrs. Beste's face. . ashen j with
powder andtnght, was revealed, uer
dress and suppers were xouna in tne
cabinet. Her gauze drapery i worn
over her underclothing, was saturat
ed with a chemical substance ' Which
