Yesterday morning two children were
born to two mothers, In the west part ol
town, in the same room and at the same
time. The woman who cared for the little
strangers bathed and clothed them,@ and
started to present them to their waiting
mammas. Then she made the startling
discovery that she had inextricably mixed
the infants 90 that she was unable to decide
which was the mother Of either. The two
mothers cast lots for choice, agreeing that
If the children should, when grown, devel-
op family traits sufficiently to identify them
they should exchange if the selection should

N0thb c Fact.

From the Louisville Commercial. Aug. y.
IL IS i significant fact that no Amer
Fan who ever opposed the prosecution
OF a war III which his country was in
VOWED, with solitary exception, was
ever elected to the presidency.
Take the Revolutionary War Of 1776.
Many men of high social position.
talent, and integrity, ami eSsimlble
citizens in every other respect. Joined
she anti-war or Tory party. The name
Tory was not at that time one OF re.
proach, but Signified one who was in
favor of the established order of
things but long before the war closed
the word Tory was an epithet Of re-
proach as n.uch as the modern term
'.scalawag'' is to-day, and the gentle
manly and cultivated Tories of the
Revolution in New York, Pennslyva-
MIA, Virginia, and the Carolinas sank
into political insigniticance. After the
war, to prove the charge of Toryism
on a candidate, was TO ruin him.
A still larger, more influential, cul-
tiyated, and wealthy class of pOliti-
clans opposed the war in 1912. They
were known as the leaders of the Fed
eral party. They were soon dubbed
e'Blue-Light Federalits, and were swept
out of existence. Several of then as
pired to the Presidency afterwards,
but were inglOriously defeated, with
the one exception alluded to, Bucha-
nan, who, although a Federalist when
a young man, quickly saw his blunder,
and went over to the Democracy. Then
came the Mexican war. The Wings,
led by Mr.. Clay, believed that the war
was wrOngfully begun, but their pa
triOtic instincts prompted them to
throw themselves in the front of the
contest; they got most of the laurels
and the glories of the war, and
elected Gen. Taylor President.
Opposition to the war for the Union
not only sounded the political death
knell of the brightest intellects of the
Democratic party, as Breckenridge,
Davis, and Benjamin, but OverWhelm-
ingly defeated Gen. Mcclellan, and
Gov. Seymour for the Presidency.
Even Mr.. Greeley's integrity, talents,
and wide fame as a Union editor did
not save him from defeat, simply be-
cause he was candidate Of the party
which opposed the war for the Union.
As leader Of the anti-war party of 1861,
Gov. Tilden may read his own doom
in the fate of the Tories Of &c, the Blue
Lights of 1912, and the Copperheads
of 1861.

Republican outlook.

| Edward Mcpherson, late clerk Of the
| House, and one of the best Informed
men in the country, has expressed
! himself as +. lows to New York Tri-
| bune reporter:
My Judgment is that the elections III
! Vermont and Maine will 50 fix the drift
of public sentiment hat we shall car
~ both Ohio and Indiana in October.
| in that event the election of Governor
! Hayes would be certain. In looking at
! the probable result. | do not examine
! the details of neighborhood politics,
| but measure the general influences OPP
Grating on the public mind. Many
things combine to make me look upon
Il republican victory as practically as
sured already. The chief indication is
the apprehension created throughout
all the loyal states 10y the evident pur-
pose of the Democrats to make the
Southern States 4 unit in the canvass.
The people of the North are disposed
to be liberal toward the leaders Of
opinion in the South, and to welcome
them back to q participation in the
government, but they have no idea Of
yielding the government entirely mp
to their control. 4 united South in
league with q strong party in the North
is a menace to the perpetuity Of the
great results of the war, ana the men
who were on the side of the Union in
that struggle look upon the spectacle
with alarm, and diStruSt the patriotism
Of the party that has created such q
phenomenon III politics. There are
many Indications of what the fruits of
a Democratic victory would be that
are well calculated to excite such dis
quitting feelings. The Legislative pro-
positions made in Congress last winter
by the Southern members were ali in
one directiOn-that Of fastening upon
the treasury the payment Of enormous
claims for losses, or pretended losses,
suffered during the rebellion. The ag-
gregate amount Of these claims is i'm
mense, and yet it is but o tribe to the
great volume that would pour in if the
Democrats once get complete control.
These demands are only sort of add
vance guard of the coming army, and
they have been rushed i'll to get on the
files ahead Of the press that IS to fol-
low Tilden's election. 1t was a great
to the Democrats that they
got possession of the house. They
we're obliged TO show their hands, and
could no longer stand by and aSsail the
lcts Of the majority. The Presidency
seemed ready to drop into their grasp
until they unmaskPd themselves last
session, and showed their real charar-
Ter and purposes.

Condition OF tie MnI.Enfs

A correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune, who had opportunities to study the
markets, says:
The wheat crop of the United States and
Europe is now nearly all garnered. What
are the facts in the case? The winter crop is
not over two-thirds average yield, with the
exception OF California, where it is said to be
an average.

one-half an average yield, leaving shortage
OF fully 7U,00O ,0oU bushels OF the entire cr0p

POLITICS.
4 PerilnuS Revival

Under the stimulOus of the Demo-
cratic revival two years ago. the great
body of Southern claimants Oyerhauled
their papers, and presented to the new
House of Representative as large a
portion Of their claims as was then
thought to be prudent. Only those
which it was supposed would be the
most likely To receive consideration
were brought forward, but the aggre-
gate OF these exceeded in amount the
total war debt Of the nation. These
claims, 1t must be remembered, are
OF m ny kinds, and were made up inn
medlately after the war, accompanied
with statements in detail. and vouchers
as 1ar rs possible, with the purpose of
urging for payment by the general
government at the first favorable OPP
portumty. The most significant and
the most alarming commentary that
could be made on the elections of that
year was the effect that, when the new
House came together in December,
there stood this portentious army of
Claimants, asking to be paid for the
losses which they themselves incurred
III the attempt TO destroy the govern
above stated, TO nearly 50, 500, 900 600,
are now pending in the House Of Rep
| reSentatives, and nothing but the fact
that 4 Republican President and Re-
publican Senate would certainly have
blocked their passage has kept them
IN the background.
1t should also be remembered that
the provisions made for the preSenta-
ton and payment of Southern claims
at the close Of the war were exceed
ingly liberal that the heads of de-
partmentS, the several courts, and
Congress itself by special acts, have
all been engaged in hearing and pass
ing upon war claims almost without
Interruption, until by a moderate esti-
| mate more than one hundred million
dollars have been paid to citizens of
the South for claims of every kind that
could, by the rules Of warfare, be
properly made against the United
States. The claims now brought for
| ward are such Us require new legisli-
ton, and will be pressed to an issue
the moment the Democratic party
IS III power. The largest single item
IN this formidable account is the claim
upon the treasury for the amount rea-
lied from the tax on cotton from 1868
to 1868, amounting all together to
about seventy million dollars. This
was the only war tax nOminally paid
by the South. We say nominally paid
because the amount was charged to
the consumer when the cotton was
sold, and was really paid by Northern
and foreign manufacturers, and by the
people who bought their goods. But
the proposition now presented every
year is to refund this amount to the
! States in which it WAS paid.

Jesse POmerOy was to-day transfer

prison has been especially prepared for

The entrance to the arch is from a
landing from the hospital stairs, access
to which can be obtained from the
yard by opening heavy iron door,
and also from the lower corridors Of
the west wing by means of a wooden
door, which is always kept locked
when not used. At the landing is an
other heavy iron door, which on being
opened reveals a dimly-lighted hall
way, on each side of which are seven
rooms of cells. In the furtheSt room
from the entrance on the southerly
side Of the wing is the apartment pre-
pared for PemeTOy. 1t is nine feet
long, eight feet wide and seven
high, lighted by two crevises, each
two feet long and six inches wide,
which are not grated. The door is q
close iron one, which is fastened by q
heavy pad lock. In the room is a

Tweed has been caught through an
ingeniously devised scheme, into which
the Spanish government entered with
cordial good spirit. On escaping from
New York, it seems, the criminal fled
to Cuba, trusting to the fact that this
government has no extradition with the
Spaniards. He escaped in the spring
from Ludlow street Jail, having been
INDUCED in visit to his home. He
has been reported in a hundred places
since, from the icy waters of Labrador
to the sunny wales of Italy. but was
most of the the time tossing about in

will be restored to his old quarters and
