Aueedote of the L,ate Senator Hutlcr, oi
South Carolina.
While in Washington, in February, lS'.i’.,
we were told an amusing anecdote of the late
Judge Butler, and at one time we were aciu
ally preparing it for the press, when his mel
ancholy death caused us to forego our iuieu
tiou. W’e rerive it now, in pleased rcollec
tions of his infinite humor and facetiou3ness,
while entertaining an equally lively reiuetu
brance of his long-continued, bold, eloqueat
and efficient representation of the Palmettu
State, and championship of the South, iu tic
Senate of the once great and glorious, but
now dismembered and humiliated Unite,I
States.
The amusing occurrence was in this wise:
Judge Butler was dining at the While House,
with a large party of ladies and gentlemen. —-
W’hile taking a hasty plate of soup, aud at
the same time commenting on Daniel Web
ster’s peculiarity or habit of simultaneously
carrying several handkerchiefs in his pockets,
it became necessary or expedient for the
Judge to wipe his mouth. Accordingly,
plunging his right hand in his left coat pock
et, a la Webster, (suiting the action to the
word,) for his handkerchief, he pulled out a
long linsey-woolsey blue stocking, with whicL,
unconscious of the strange substitution, be
incontinently commenced the wiping process,
the foot of the article hanging down oa the
left side of his face. A general cacbinatiou,
or rather explosion of laughter, was the na
tural result, and the lady sitting on the
Judge’s left, who had caught the merry irt -
fectiou, said almost inarticulately—“Why,
Judge, what, iu the name of wonder, are you
wiping your face with?”
This called the Judge’s attention to the ve
ry old uipe he was busily plying about Lis
mouth and face, and thereupon, lifting it up
and taking sight at it, with his cross eyes, in
his own peculiar way, and realizing the lttdi
crons face, he exclaimed, after a hem or two,
with his usual hesitancy of utterance: “Ah!
eh! why ’tis Hunter’s blue stocking!” (mean
ing Senator Hunter, of Virginia, the Judge’s
room-mate in Washington.) This unexpect
ed explanation of the funny incident only the
more set “laughter shaking both his sides,’
and swelled the uproar, until the very root
rang with the merry peal. After order sad
silence had been restored, the Judge humor
ously confessed the awkwardness of his pre
dicament, and explained that, in a fit. of ah
sence, after performing his toilet, he had tin
consciously, along with his handkerchief,
thrust one of Mr. Hunter’s stockings into hi:
pocket; and added, “for Heaven’s sake, don't
tell that woman, Mrs. C**y, of it.”
The prohibition was, of course, disregard,
ed, and Mrs. C**y was soon put in posses
sion of the story. Thereupon, with that Lind
ly humor and ready wit which, with her ma
ny virtues, graces and accomplishments,
made her a social queen in Washington, she
penned the Judge a billet, enclosed in a rose
colored envelope, which ran somewhat in this
strain :
E****’s, January —, 18;V,\
My dear Judge: I learn that you are in great
alarm, lest I should come to the knowledge
of your Blue Stocking adventure. Give your
self not the least uneasiness on the subject,
as I understand and properly appreciate the
enigma. This is doubtless its solution—you
are about, I suppose, to prove your devotion,
at once, to the sex and to literature, by insti
tuting, under your auspices, as tutelary guar
dian, “The Blue Stocking Societi/.” For s.,
commendable a project, you deserve and will
receive the approving smile and the lasting
gratitude of the fair, generally, and of
Yours, especially,
V**** A. C. C*-v.
We add the finale of the amusing affair.
The lamented Brooks jocularly addressed an
anonymous note to the Judge, written in a
beautiful and delicate female hand, which
read thus:
Mg dear Judge: After the mortifying and
malapropos exposure you have made of my
blue stocking, I beg you will return it to me,
without delay. Yours,
FANNIE.
