HORRIBLE AFFAIR AT NASHVILLE. At the
close oftho performance at the circus at Nash
vile on Saturday night week, young man by
the name of Branch was stabbed to the heart
by Mr.. Moore, and expired in about five or
six minutes. The cause of this deed grew out
of very trihng matter. Moore has several
companions, and, in addition to the death of
c. Branch, his brother, X. Branch, was badly
wounded by the cut of rock on the head,
which is not considered dangerous. Moore and
several others were knocked down during the
fray.

USE OF A NOSE.

good story is told of Mozart at the time he was
pupil Of Haydn The latter challenged his pupil
to compose piece of music which he could not PLAY
at SIGHT. Mozart accepted the banter and a supper
and champagne were to be the forfeit Every thing
being arranged between the two composers Mozart
took his pen and sheet of paper, and in five min
utes dashed off piece of music. and much to the
surprise of Haydn handed it 10 him, saying:
''Ihcre is piece of music sir, which YOU can
not play and can--you are to give it the first
trial''
Haydn smiled contemptuously at the visionary pre-
sumption of his pupil, and placing the notes before
him struck the keys of the instrument Surprised
at It's simplicity he dashed away until he reached
the middle Of the piece, when stopping all at once
he exclaimed:
SLOWS this, Mozart? How's this 2-Here my
hands are stretched out to both ends of the piano,
and yet there's middle key to be touched No
body can play such music-not even the composer
himself"
Mozart smiled at the half excited Indignation and
perpleXty of the great master, and taking the seat
he had quilted struck the instrument with such an air
OF self-assurance that Haydn began to think himself
duped. Running along through the simple passa-
ges he came to that part which his teacher had pro-
nounced impossible 10 be played. Mozart, as any
body is aware, was favored, or ut least endowed,
with an extremely long nose-a prodigious nose.
which, In modern dialect, ''suck out about feet -
,'"'."i'S 'hc uliIcuit pdsSaSe, ne stretched both
hands to the extreme ends of the piano and leaning
forward bobbed his nose against the middle key
which ''nobody could play !"
Haydn burst into an immediate fit of laughter ;
and after acknowledging the ''corn" declared that
nature had endowed Mozart with capacity for
music which ne had never before discovered
