Two LILIPUTIANs ARRIVED. Friday
evening the wife of Mr. j. B. McCrum, living
at So Parsons street, Kalamazoo, Mich, gave
birth to twiDs-a boy and girl. The surprise
OF the parents can be imagined when, on sur
veying the party, the nurse held up the tiny
pair Of infants in the palm Of one of her hands.
They were soon after weighed, and the aggre,
gate avoirdupois of the twins was three pounds
and four ounces, one Of the pair weighing one
pound aud eight ounces, aud the other weigh
ing one pound and twelve ounces. They we're
less than eight inches long, and perfectly form
ed. A bed was made for them, which consisted
of minute basket filled with batting,
aud clothing had to be improvised for the stran-
gers. Some doubt was expressed by the ply.
sician who attended the mother as to whether
they would live, but up to this morning they
are not only alive, but are lively, bright, and
vide awake.
There have been, since Monday, great
many visitors to see the little children, and the
exclamatious of surprise and the calculations of
admiration would fill large volume. Ladies
aud gentlemen, old and young, flock to the
house where the children lay. Pink and blue
rbbous have been tied about the little arms of
the babes. so as to answer the question Of which
is boy aud which is girl. The sensation is like
y to last some time, though every precaution
Is taken to preserve the lives of the little ones.
They purse, and seem to enjoy themselves as
we'll as could be expected. They are perfectly
iormed, and, we understand, are fu-time child
Ieu. Wrapped in their little beds they look
like dolls suddenly vivi6ed.

INFECTED CLOTHING.-Last evening, In the
First Brauch of the City Council. MIR. Keil,
hollz presented message from the Mayor, con
veyiug communication from DR.. j. S. Conrad
10 reference to suits at law against the city tC
recover damages for the destruction of clothing
belonging to seamen thas were 90 board vessels
detained at quarantine which had cleared from
ports where yellow fever prevailed, and which
vessels had on board cases of that disease
The Mayor says that DR.. Conrad destroyed
the clothing 10 prevent the incurslon of a fell
disease into the city, and did 50 by the advice
of the Health Officer aud City Solicitor. The
suits were decided in favor Of the city upon
the theory that the Marine Hospital Physician
had in the destroying of the clothing aforesaid
transcribed bis authority. These decisions, oi
course, render DR.. Conrad personally RESPONSE
bic to the plaintiffs for the value of the clothing
destroyed.
DR.. Conrad communication in defense of the
course he pursued states that in the spring O
last year yellow fever appeared in epidemic
form at the ports of South America, aud espe
cally at Rio de Janeiro, between which and
Baltimore there is large commerce, and thai
our quarantine laws do not require the exam
nation of these vessels, except between May
and November. But it was considered, witt
the concurrence OF the Health Office, necessary
to Inspect all vessels coming from infected ports
and this was carried into effect. The first YES
sci (the Lapwing) was found to have many Of
the crew sick with the yellow fever. Other In
fected vessels also arrived not only from Soutt
America, but from Cuba. A number Of cases
out Of ffty.four in all are mentioned, twelv'
vessels with yellow fever being anchored at on
time at quarantine, and in some cases clothing
was found oD board stained from the bodie
Of the sick and dead. The amount Of claim
are stated to be g. 953, 36.-Bah. Gazette.

NEW DEPARTURE.

In the. discussions IN the United State.
Senate. on q bill for the better government,
of District Columbia, ON the 17th inst. Sen.
Ator Morton, Of Indiana, is repci t., n,
using the following language: Mr..
Nor N said that tie evils which the Dis,
irlct has suffered were can.ssd mainly by
the exercise Of suffrage by those .."ta''y
unflt for it He would not vote to bring
the curse Of negro suffrage On the people
Of thi, Dls,ricl again."
THIS item we find in the dispatches as
EiYanirl Tie Independent. but examining
the kilograms Of inc Helena Herald, this
item Of news does t appear. Theomls
sion, 10 doubt, was caused by a desire to
see il the reported speech Of Senator
Morton Was correct. If It should turn out
that 50 distinguished q member of the
Republican party has given utterance +,
such sentiment, it will have startling
effect. TIL. annunciation Of such an in
tentiDn will have the effect to arouse the
negro population. and will cause tumult
throughout the whole south Coming
from one of the leaders Of the Republ can
party will surprise a. clssses and parties
We should regret the revival of any such
. question Wnihts the Southern people
were very much opposed u negro suffrage
when II was first bestowed upon the race
they had become rather recOnciled 10 it.
We believe the American people prefer
peace and quiet, and do not desire the re-
vival OF any peTplexing questions of the
past. What the country needs Is Quietude,
and legislation in the direction of the re-
vival Of trade and business, not abstract
politics.
