Butler has been an able and conscientious representative iu the Senate, and we would dislike to lee him lose his place, but os tilings appear at present, h* is iii danger of being defeated for the nest term. His support of Mr. H. 1'. Perry for the position of l iiitcd States marshal will probably not gain him many frieuds with thedomiuai t faction and will unquestionably weaken him with the conservatives; in fact it is very difficult to imagine what his object is ill recommending a titan that made himself so obnox ious to the conservatives, during the campaign, and who also has bod tbe Misfortune to be blacklisted by Governor Tillman. TheSenator has complicated matters still further by appointing a Tiilmanite as bis private leeretory.

IRON BITTERS !n> 1 Ooraeta the Latest Atrocity for the Poet—The Average Size of Women's Peet—A Woman's Bright Idea When Mnlimml Pasha Riiiz, Governor of the Suez Canal, mar ried the daughter of the late Rus sian Paslui Russim the other day, Iris father, Riaz Pasha, celebrated the occasion with a magnificence truly oriental. According to the published reports, no such splendid marriage entertainment has been given in Cniro for many years. Two thousand invitations were issued, the name of every person being in the handwriting of Riaz Hasna himself. The average num ber of guests present at the four banquets which were given was about 1,0OQ, and included besides the Ministers and chief official per sonages, past and present, 250 offi cials of lower rank, the members of the diplomatic body, and a large gathering ol friends, acquaint ances, neighbors, servants and poor. The dining-room consisted of an enormous turkish tent, nearly }00 yards long by 40 wide. This was lighted by 1,500 Venetian lan terns, 1.500 clusters of candles, 50 magnificent gas lustres and 2,000 lanterns, lamps and electric lights. The dinners consisted of two serv ices, one European, the other Arabic. After the marriage the European guests were entertained at a feast which cost £25,000.
