From Mr.. CLAWS ans,Uer TO q call from mis-
souri, 10 attend a Mass Meeting:
NASHVILLE, August 5, 1914.

souri, TO attend a Mass Meeting:
elf | could make an exception from the rule
which have adopted, it would be visit TO
Lexington, in Fayette county, Missouri; but
do not think that can find sufficient reason
for such an exception And you know that |
have always endeavored to abide by my word
rejoice in the prospects OF the deliverance
Of the State of Missouri from the yoke of To-
cofocosm, of which receive Aattering &C
count from all quarters. Next to Virginia,
which gave me birth, and Kentucky, which a.
dopted and cherished and honored me, there is
no State in the Union which feel more graft
fled with the support than Of Missouri.
Being now in the evening of long life, il
would be great satisfaction to ne, before !
terminate my mortal career, once more TO meet
Missouri on terms of friendship and affection.
Whatever may be the course which she may
think proper TO take, congratulate you on the
bright and cheering prospects of the Wing
cause throughout the whole Union Never
were the prospects Of any political party more
satisfactory and encouraging. Perfectly united
as TO all the great measures of national policy
which they support, every Wing from the St.
Johns TO the Sabine, stands ready and eager 10
do his duty and his whole duty. Nor will they
be ued into security or inactivity, by the d-
visions and distractions and weakness of the
adversary. The Wings know that the max
i'm 'never despse your enemy is as wise and
sound in politics as il is in war, and they mean
to combat as if Napoleon or Wellington, in
stead of Col. Polk, were in The field. If they
put forth their strength and energies, accord
ingly, they will achieve the most signal politi-
cal victory ever won in this or any other coun-
try. am your friend, and obd't serv't,

Out of their o,cn Mouths are they Convict-
ed.--The N. York Plebeian of Wednesday,
of last week, in an article on the Tariff, holds
the following language:
"rhe Democratic party, throughout the
Union, are opposed TO the present Tariff
There is as much unanimity in the party in OPP
position TO the principles and details of the
present Tariff, as there is upon any other Of
the great questions that divide parties.
The Democratic party have nominated @
candidate for the Presidency who is the mos
deadly enemy Of the present Tariff, while oul
opponents have nominated a man who is pledg
ed to sustain it,"
Marriage rather than La,c.--A certain wild
ow lady placed her child at nurse in one OF The
founding hospitals OF Germany, and, intend
ing to leave it there until it should be old e
nough to begin receiving an education, paiC
the stipend for four years About the SAINT
Time gentleman plhCeu MS CuUu ~ tue oulll'
institution, and it was consigned 10 the sam'
nurse. The gentleman then made voyage L
South America, where he had some business
of importance that needed his attention. A
the end of four years the lady returned 10 taxi
away her child; and by somewhat singula
coincidence, the gentleman arrived at the sam
time, with the same object. But in the inter
i'm one Of the children had died; and tn
nurse could not declare positively whether i
was that of the widow or the other. The wild
ow claimed the survivor as her own; the gen
tleman insisted as strongly that his was the liv
ing child. The dispute waxed warm, and
resort to the legal tribunals was threatened Of
either side, when worthy clergyman inter
soon agreed to consolidate their claims to III
surviving child by marriage So says Frenc
