Show Gen. Flu tier's Hat. In the United States district court in the Federal building no lawyer is better known than Gen. Butler. The court officers hear of his apjiearanee with much the same feeling that they receive tho announcement of the arrival of the judge. As soon as his ponderous figure, swaying sway-ing from side to side, appears bearing down toward the court room they senr- ; ry about arranging the chair at the counsel's table and assist him in removing remov-ing his outer garments in a manner that shows their regard for him. Gen. Butler's But-ler's hat is a curious article. It is just like oue that Buffalo Bill would be ac- . I cuseu or wearing out on too plains, it j j is probably the most abused of tho gen-! eral's belongings. The manner in which he jerks it off his head, slaps it down on j tho counsel's table and drops his heavy j stick upon it determinedly, makes one wonder why it does not disappear sud- denly some day out of spite It hasstuek ; j by him though for years, just like his ' ! faculties of mind, and perhaps will be j j buried with him.
