MosBY AGAIN SHAKES HANDS Across THE
BLOODY CnAsM.- Washington correspondence
Baltimore Sun.]-Quite an interesting incl
dent took place to-day in the rooms of the
Southern Claims Commission. The commits
sioners had just heard the claim Of Josiah B.
Bowman, Of Fairfax county, Va, for sc. 700,
and were hearing the closing statements of
Mr.. James l.. Gardner, of Loudoun county,
Va, for support of his own claim for 81 800,
for property taken from his farm by Union
uhlans. Mr.. Gardner was giving in his EVIL
denee, when Colonel J. S. Mosby, the ex-
Confederate guerrilla, came into the room to
file claim before the commission for client.
Mr.. Gardner was reciting at the time how he
escaped from the "rebeIs" during the war
under command Of the notorious Mosby, and
Fhow he saved his property. to be kopt only,
however, until the Union soldiers came
along and gobbIed it UP. Mosby, who was
unknown to the witness, took seat about
ten feet from him and listened to him atten.
lively. Finally Gardner related the trouble
that Mosby and other rebels gave him by en-
deavoring to chase him out of the county
because he was q Union man, and ended by
saying "they did not succeed, however. l
remained there all the tinle."
One Of the commissioners asked Gardner,
"Did you ever see that Mosby?" to which
Gardner replied, "No, sir; but he was hard
after me many times"
Mosby, who was un attentive listener
throughout, turned quietly over to Mr.. Ben
jamin, the chief clerk Of the commission, and
asked, "Who is this witness; what's his
2" He was informed. TO which Mosby
replied, {" Oh, yes. I know him to be n loyal
man, too; there was good many after him"
The counsel for Gardner heard this, and
turnin. around asked of Mr.. Benjamin,
sWho is this man!'' He was informed that
it was Colonel MoSby, and he Immediately
asked him if he would give in evidence OF
Mr.. Garlner's loyalty.
Mosby, then, to the great surprise Of Gard
ner, who never in his life had seen his face
before, took the stand and testified that he
himself had never seen him (Gardncr) dll-
ring the war, though he had often tried to
catch him us one of the few Union men OF
Loudoun. The claimant and Mosby then
shook hands over the bloody chasnI, the for
mer rcmarking, "God how people change
places" HeasSnrcd Mosby that he had hard
work TO keep out of his sight nine or ten
years ago, and thanked him for giving in the
evidence. 01osby has considerable practice
before this commission, and is very success
full in his cases before them.

How HERO DIED.-[FIom leader III
the New York Tribune on the Norlhtlcct

which made all nations akin rs they looked

corruption of society. When our political
leaders take bribcs we arc told that chicancry
and money and love Of sham show control
of the majority Of lives; yet sometimes death
from among us takes some commonplace
fellow like this ships captain by the
,hroat and bids him justify his right to have
lived: and the man takes his footing upon
his plain daily duty, and doing that, chooses
10 be lost in the eternal silence. But how
the whole world is stirred as he goes out !!
How in every country in the last fortnight

PRorTs OF TUE i'EN.---Some years ago an
eminent publisher gave Lord I.ytton e20,0G0
for the use of twenty of his novels for rail-
way library. 1t is said that this is not the
largest sum ever paid in England for copy
right. The most successful publications Of
the dav, however, from this point of view,
are not novels, but sermons. 1t is said that
the representatives of the late Rev. f. w.
Robertson, of Brighton, have received in
the course of some years upward of G3O, 1000
for tue publication of the various volumes
left at his death.
MIR. Robertson's sermons are even inclu-
dcd in the Tauchnitz edition of English au-
thors. With the exception OF Scott and
Dickens. Lord Lytton probably made more
money tlan any British author; and what
is more, he kept it.

LOCAL MATTERS.

ESCAPE OF CoNv1cTs.-The guard at the
penitentiary discovered yesterday morning
that an escape had been effected from the
prison. Upon further examination it was
found that Daniel billiard, formerly of Lynch.
burg Andrew Richardson alias Andrew
Gill alias Richard Johnston, formerly OF
Montgomery county and John Fortune,
formerly Of Essex county, all colored, had
unfastened their cell door, by some means yet
unexplained, and escaped. The cell occu-
pied by them Is just in rear of the hospital,
which SO obstructs the view that the guard
could not at all times see that portion of the
middle gallery, through which they made
their escape. and thus they were enabled to
carry on their effort to get out without In.
terruption. They passed from the gallery to
the western side Of the prison, hiding be-
hind brick pillars, and let themselves from
the walls to the outside by means of ropes
made from blankets. They left the prison
between the hours of ] and 2 O'Clock, al
which time it was raining and sleetiDg
The discovery was made by the guard
at about halfpast 2, and the alarm I'M
mediately given. One Of the prisoners, in
lis descent, fell on sharp hook on the out
side of the wall, about five feet from the
ground, which tore a large piece from his
pantaloons and may have inflicted some in
jury upon him.
Andrew Richardson is desperate charac
ter, and has made several attempts to escape
before. Superintendent Strother offers So(
reward for either of them.

A TRIBUTE TO THE HEBREW RACE-THE
LESSON OF TOLERATIoN.-An able speech

Texas Legislature on a motion to suspend

| Il Hebrew association. ltseemS strange to
citizens of the older States, where acts Of in
corporation Of religious societies are COM

| that there should any difference Of opinion
| in an American legislative body on such
subject. The objection, however, to the sl!S-
pension of the rules by one Of the members
because. rs he said, 81 do not much like
Jews" had the result Of bringing out the
spirited and eloquent speech referred to, the
KEYNOTE of which was thus boldly struck
in the beginning: " Dir. Speaker, do like
Jews: Il | Were not +. Il Christian should be

to have replied: Il am a jew. When the

it is somewhat surprising to the people
