Failure of The Claims Appropriation.
Nashville American.

The appropriation bill for payment
of QuartIrmaster claims failed to pass
Congress. The bill referred to is for
the payment of claims for stock, forage,
etc, taken from the citizens of Tenn
essee and other States by the Union
army in the late war. These claims
have been pending for upward of TWEEN
ty years, and have been thoroughly in
vestigated on the spot where they or
lginated by authorized agents of the
United States Government They
have passed through the various de-
partments ut Washington and found
correct, and have been approved for
payment. As matter of form simply,
an appropriation is required by Con
gress. The bill failing, these claim
ants must await the action of the next
session of Congress, and it will be at
least fifteen or sixteen months before
they can possibly realize, as the next
session is the long session, and apprO-
priation bills are invariably postponed
until the latter part of the session
1t does seem very unjust that these
claimants should be made to suffer, in
this way, by the monopolization of the
limited honrs of the closing session,
through dilatory motions and filibus-
tering. To give precedence to the bill
to place Gen. Grant on the retired list
was proper enough under the peculiar
circumstances, but even that appears
to have been made a sort of condition
to the precedence of another question
of the seating of n contesting MEM
Der from Iowa. The accomplishment
of these two things, coupled with the
previous waste of time, prevented the
passage of the claims appropriation
bill, which affect over a thousand
claimants residing in twelve different
States throughout the UuiOn, large
proportion of whom are poor men,
who lost their only horse or two in the
late war, and in many instances minor
children are the parties whose inter
estS are involved. Some of the repre-
Sentatives of the people Will have diff
Gully in satisfactorily explaining their
omission to their contiding cOnstitu-
encieS.

THE DoG-FAcED BOY.
With Many Canine characteristics, lie Can
Speak Four Languages.


Jo-Jo, the Russian boy with the sky.
terrier face, walked into the managers
Office of the South Side Dime Museum
where he is on exhibition, Yesterday
afternoon, leading by chain !, little
dog which looked like near relative.
A dozen or more physicians were wait
ing to meet him and decide what he
was. He shook hands with them and
let them comb the silky hair on his
face with their fingers The hair on
his head is like ordinary human hair,
while his forehead, nose. cheeks, ears
and chin are thickly covered with long
hair, as fine and soft as a Skye-terrier's
and of the same color. Jo-Jo's keeper
combs the hair on the boys face by
causing the hair on his forehead to
blend with that of his head. The rest
OF the hair is parted on the bridge of
his nose, and swept away sidewise, with
the exception of that below his lips,
which is combed downward like a
beard of faded silk tibers His upper
lip is devoid of hair. Little tufts stand
out on his ears in a pert way.
The physicians examined JO-Jo
closely to see if the skin of Skye ter
rier had not been transplanted on his
face, but they found no trace of such Il
thing. Jo-Jo was stripped in their
presence, and proved to be completely
covered with silky hair. He has only
four teeth-two incisors on each jaw.
He is about 16 years old, and has the
ordinary proportions of boy of that
age. He speaks Russian, German,
French and English.
1t is said that Jo-Jo and his father
were captured Is years ago in cave
in forest of Kostroma, in central Rus
STA. Jo-Ju was 2 or years old at that
time. The father, who was 10 JOS
counterpart, was very fierce, and knew
nothing Of the language or ways of CIV
iiized beings. They were exhibited
together III Russia until three years
ago, when the father died. Two years
ago he came under the care of Mr..
Nicholas Forster, of ST. Petersburg, and
was exhibited by him throughout the
capitals of Europe. When he came to
England P. L. Barnum's agent secured
him. and brought him to this country
last October. Jo-Jo is intelligent, and
appears to be fond of company. His
features, which can be but dimly dis
cerned under the abundant hair, APP
pear to be well formed. 1t is said that
he occasionally snarls and snaps like
terrier. His pale, round eyes have
peculiar, canine Chicago

Round and square RIallets,


THE reason why carpenters use
square wooden mallets and stone
masOnS round wooden mallets is moi
generally known, even by the workmeh
themselves, said a mechanical engin-
Ger. The handles of carpenters chisela
are made OF wood, and if they should
strike them with a metal hammer the
handles would crack. This necessitates
the use of wooden malletS, and they
must be large in order TO have the
proper weight They are made square,
so that they may be used in corners
where a round mallet would not go.
stone maSons use wooden mallets
because they are less likely than iron
hammers to injure hands by missing the
chiSel. Their chisels are of iron
throughout, and the mallet is made
round so that a different part may
strike on the chiSel at each blow The
mason turns his hammer as he works,
otherwise the iron tool would soon bore
a hole in il. "

THE repeal of the Railroad Commits
sioners act seems to be hanging fire in
the General Assembly of Tennessee
but the delay in the wiping out of so
useless a statute, is not easily under
stood. For some months past the only
duty the retired Commissioners had
to perform was that of carrying on a
lawsuit against the State, for their sal
aries. They have won, and will of
course receive their hack pay. The
present incumbents, also with nothing
to do, not even lawsuit to look after,
will likewise get their pay, which the
courts say they are entitled to. The
present Legislature has not done much
service for the State, but Il prompt re-
peal Of the Railway Commission bill
would entitle it to be credited with
the performance of at least one good

TITLES in san Francisco


Probably no American city OF its
number of inhabitants has so many of
its own citizens with titles as San Fran
cisco. There is the Marquis Oliver, a
member of an old Galway family, who
received his title from the pope; the
Baron Murphy, who received his title
from the same source; and Sir Claus
Spreckles, who was knighted by King
Kalakaua, whom he furnishes with
pocket money, and whose kingdom he
virtually owns. A weakness with this
monarch is the receiving and distribut,
ing of decorations, and it is quite the
thing at a reception in San Francisco to
see a dozen or more blue and white or
red and white buttons Of the order of
Kamehameha in the lapels of mild, in
offensive citizens who have at some
time or other done Kalakaua a favor.

simply to court death, for the papers
may contain arsenic, and to detect its
presence requires more knowledge of

where these duStbins are there are the
