A claim has been allowed lately by the
Government, which, although just in itself,
perhaps, ought not to have had an origin.
At one time during the war, bad women be-
came so prevalent in Nashville, Tennessee,
that in order to save the army from their de-
moralIing influences 1t was found necessary
to deport them. Some one hundred and forty
of them were put on board steamer, under
command of Capt. NEwcoHB. The Captain
conveyed his charge up the river. He took
them to St. Louis, but could get no relief.
He took them to Cairo, but still no subsist-
enoe could be obtained for them from official
sources. He would not allow the sinful fe-
males to starve on his hands, and subsisted
them at his own private charges. His bill of
$6, 900 for this matter has been allowed, we
believe, by the authorities.

at the last Presidential election, and he re.
CARDS that as a great event in his life. The
hermit has worn the same pair of pants for
twenty years. He stated to his visitor that
he had never been married, and conyersed
quite intelligently.
