A SINGULAR STORY.
Two Boys I'm kentucky who Speak
an Unknown Tongue.

NRw HAVEN, NELSON Co., KY, JAZZ
uRry "a respectable farmer, Mr. j.
Knox Ice, who lives seven miles north
west Of here, on the Beech Fork, has
two sons-Alexander, aged IS years,
and Nicholas, aged l2-who sptak an
unknown tongue, which they alone
understand and which Is wholly un-
known to their PARENTS or the rest OF
the family. 1t is a still more singular
fact that each boy speaks a different
language, but understands the other.
II was not until recently that Alex au-
der could learn to speak English, and
Nicholas cant "cat IN on" yet, Alex
auder acting as interpreter between
his younger brother and the o.her
members ID the family.
The boys are good looking and en-
dowed with average intelligence. MI.
Ice married q Miss Boone, aud the
families OF both date back TO our irtt
settlers. The boys have never trav-
eled twenty miles from home, and
have never been associated in any way
with foreigners OF any cline, and l
doubt il they ever heard any other
language than the English.
Nh. Ice has five other children, two
older and three younger than these
boys, all Of whom speak their native
tongue plainly, and always have, but
know nothing whatever of the Ian
guaRe spoken by Alexander and
Nicholas.
The parents, as we'll as the whole
community, are completely at a loss to
know how 10 account for this strange
freak Of nature.

articles from Dakota newspapers, in
sisting that there was no law 10 forbid
the people from governing them
selves. One such article inquired:
'Shall the Scared veterans who put
down the rebellion now submit TO the
rebelsf We say q thousand times,
MOI You have once conquered rebels
with guns in their hands; you will
again conquer the 'rebs' in Congress
having votes in their hands" Senator
Vest insisted that Congress- was the
only power that could say when States
should come into the Union. II the
ordinance Of 1887 (which provided
that new Stabes should be admitted
when q popui sti0n q 10000 should be
reachedJ, waJ the only authority on
aha question, the debate would close
at cnos. Senator Vest denied that
that ordinance was now In force, and
read from decisions OF the United
etates Supreme Court TO shSE that
that ordinance ceased 10 exist
on the adoption q the Federal
Constitution In 1889. Any other
visw weuld forever put an
end 10 any discretion In Congress as to
the admission OF New States. Senator
Vet to Ok the broad ground that DO
ordinance or treaty whatever could
hamper or bind Congress In O MISTER
OF 30 fundamental a character as this.
II It could, then enc Congress could
forever bind future Congresses. We
could tear 10 pieces any ordinance or
treaty that should pretend 10 put such
shaokles on the Congress OF the Unit
cd States. After abiding to the patti
a references Of the other side at
some length, Senator Vest concluded
by charging that the record OF the last
Legislature OF Dakota, even on the
showing OF Republican newspapers,
wss without a parslld in the history
OF bad schemes. In conclusion Sena-
tor Vest said he would hereafter sub
NIT g proposition TO divide the Terri
tory by a line running north and south
on the l0lst parallel OF Longitude, ~
as to provide for the keeping OF the
unsettled western. side in a territorial
condition.
Senator Logan then took the floor,
but gave way for a motion to adjourn,
and the Senate accordingly adjourned
until Monday.

Democratic Reform In Wisconsin.

The disgraceful fight now going on in
the Second Congressional District of
wisconsin between Gen. Z. S. Bragg
and A. X. Delaney is fine illustration
of the sort of political reform that the
country was promised under Mr.. Cleve-
land. The present dispute over the
nomination for Congress reveals one of
the most corrupt and scandalous polit-
ical bargains ever entered into between
two candidates, and if the Democratic
electors of that district are not cattle
they will vindicate their manhood and
retire both contestants to private life.
Bragg has been ten years in Congress
with an intermission of one term, and
his lay-oH was occasioned by Delaney
giving the Dodge County delegation to
one Sumner, of Waukesha County, after
sixteen hundred ballots had been taken.
Bragg is the man who made rumpus
in the last Democratic national conven.
ton by pitching into Tammany Hall and
declaring that the country loved Cleve-
land for ''the enemies he had made. :"
Delaney is at present United States At
torney for the Eastern District of Wis
consin, position procured for him by
Bragg in order to keep him quiet
At the last nominating convention
Bragg's delegates entered into written
agreement that the Dodge County dele
CATION should name the man this wear,
and on the back of this bargain Bragg
wrote his Endorsement with his own
hand, and added that if Cleveland was
elected Delaney should control the pat
ronage of Dodge County. Bragg now
claims that Delaney's acceptance of the
United States Attorneyship annulled the
bargain of two years ago and left him
Bragg free to enter the race again.
This Delaney denies. and has had fac
Stnatte of the agreement published to add
variety and interest to the contest.
The district is solidly Democratic, the
man who is nominated is sure of an cleo
ton, and the Republicans are simply in
terested spectators of this disgraceful
scramble for place and of the corrupt
dickering in order to obtain it, The
spectacle is presented to the country of
delegates and candidates entering into a
solemn contract, sealed, signed and de-
livered, " to dispose of nomination for
Representative in Congress two years in
advance of the time for making it, and
the party of the first part Bragg repu-
dating the agreement. Chicago
Tribune.
