Orders No. and 20 to be Enforced.
During the war, a soldier of the 18th ILL
nois cavalry leo. Al named T. J. Dixon,
acting under orders, was engaged in Selling
some arms in obion county, in this State,
and while doing so was resisted by a rebel
soldier, whom he shot and killed.
Since the war the Grand Jury of Obion
county found an Indictment for murder
against Dixon, and he has been on trial for
several days; but yesterday Gen. Thomas,
in accordance with order No. 3, Of the War
Department, and No. 20, of the Division of
the Tennessee, ordered the release of Dix
on, and the discontinuance of all further
proceedings in his case.
THE GREAT MILToNIAN TABLEAUx Last
evening was the second exhibition of this
truly beautiful tableaux. Masonic Hall
was well filled, and all seemed delighted
with the gorgeous representations of Para
disc, Pandemonium, Chaos, Earth, etc.
The views consist of sixty-fve different
tableau scenes, most Of which are beautiful.
The views in the tableaux in the Garden
of Eden, in which the sun and moon actu-
ally rise and float away through real clouds,
which cast their shadow on the earth, are
magnificent indeed.
There has probably never been in this
city an exhibition calculated TO leave upon
the minds a deeper impress of sublimity
than these tableauK, illustrating, as they do,
Millions immortal poem Of paradise Lost"
The scenes throughout might well compare
with Dandy or a Martin, but of two we
would especially make mention as surpsss-
ing all others, viz: the rising of the moon
upon the young earth for the first time
now obscured for a moment by a cloud, and
then bursting out in all its glorious efiiul-
gence, while the sound Of distant music du-
ring the scene renders it very effective and
holds the audience in silent admiration.
The other scenes to which we allude is
where Satan reaches the convex line that
bounds the Universe and describes the gol-
den steps that leads to the gates Of Heaven,
angels ascending and descending, while
again the sound of music as if from the
Heavenly city, adds greatly to the beauty
Of the scene. We advise all who can ap-
preciate subjects FILED Nth a religious are
to avail themselves Of the opportunity Of
visiting the Masonic Hall this evening.

COOKERY-MONs. blot.

From the st. Louis Republican,
| A first-rate cook is a rare benefactor of
the human species. Healthy digestion is
indispensable, alike to health bodily and
| health mental. But healthy digestion is
impossible for a stomach deranged and op-
pressed by ill-coOked viands. An axle coat
! ed with sand and gravel cannot be expected
| to turn as easy as one fabricated with oil.
We have said nothing about the pleasures
| Of the palate, which are of some Importance,
and all the more so for the probability that
the most nourishing food is such as we eat
with the most relish.
We Americans enjoy the reputation of
possessing the best material for gratifying the
palate and building up the human frame
while we have the unenyiable distinction Of
making the worst use of them. We believe
however, that domestic experience shows
that we have some very good cooking in
this country. But for the preparation of
food in a manner which combines the des-
iderata of excellence and economy, French
cooks who are deservedly styled artists in
their professions, are doubtless unrivalled.
They have given the fame to France of very
satisfactorily supplying the defect Of having
only one religion by the invention of fifty
different soups. They can teach our house
wives much which they ought to know of
the culinary art. And it is, therefore, with
satisfaction that we find distinguished Pre-
fessor of this art, Mons. BLOT is, by a course
of experimental lectures, giving such of our
cOuntrywomen as desire to be instructed in
matter of such utility the opportunities of
profting by his ample experience, know
ledge and skill. He has visited New York
and Boston; and his visits are as much
needed, and would be as welcome, in the
Western as in the Eastern cities. With
such manipulations and processes as Prof
BLOT teaches, and the use of a petroleum
vapor stove, cooking may be almost ranked
among the fine arts.

would equal it in profit The apples sold
in the Cincinnati market now amOut 10 100,
600 barrels per annum, and they sell for
half million Of dollars. Those who at
tend to their apple orchards here, generally
do well.
a iew years since there was a gentleman
on the Ohio river had two hundred acres OF
apple trees, and all Of one variety. This
brings us TO notice a curious feature in the
fruit market Fruit is sold by its looks more
than it is by its merits. Hence, the fruit
cultivator will always seek the varieties
which will best bear transportation and look
best in market. Hence, the Rome Beauty is
a more salable apple than half dozen other
kinds, better in fact. Hence the black cap
raspberry is more marketable than the bet
ter varieties The fruit cultivator has to
consult first the hardy and the good looking
qualities of fruit.
We have not mentioned the grape, because
vineyards TO be spoken of properly require a
separate article. We have merely aimed to
show that horticulture in the Ohio Valley
has reached a point in which it is a large
interest, and if attended to a very profitable
business. We suppose that the sales Of fruit
and wines in the vicinity Of Cincinnati (in-
Guiding dried and canned fruits) do not
amount TO less than two millions OF dollars
annually. This business must necessarily
increase, and opens a fair field for the enter
prise Of persons with rural tastes.

THE WEBSTER VASE.
rom the New York Tribune. J

From the New York Tribunc.l
There are many of our readers who will
remember that Mr.. Webster was, on the l2th
Of October, 1885, presented by the citizens
of Boston with a silver vase. 1t was given
10 him as the Defender Of the Constitution"
Three thousand persons tlocked TO the Odeon
10 witness the ceremony. Mr.. Francis {.
CLAY made the presentation speech-Mr.
Webster "a happy and characteristic reply
We NAV be sure that the Webster Vase
was very much talked Of about that time. Ii
is a curious fact that some Of the gentlemen
who originally subscribed for this costly to-
ken should now be found uniting with
others in buying back the piece Of plate
from Mr.. WebsterS heirs, How much they
paid for it. in the second instance, we are
not informed-probably something more
than its worth as old silver. But whatever
its value, the thirty-nine gentlemen, headed
by Mr. Peter Harvey, have struck a bargain
ana sent the vessel 70 be preserved in the
Boston Public Library. Iftoo poor to keep
il, the family, i.seems were not too proud TO
sell IL and the utensil has been saved from
an ignominious exhibition in an auction
room. The transaction is painful enough 10
provoke 4 little cynical reflection. 1t seems
as If dollars and cents were 10 be forever as
sociated with Mr.. Webster's name and menu
ory. Men still talk Of his prodigious
earnings and his equally prodigality-
he lived beyond his income and was always
IN debt-how he carried great sums in his
waistcoat pocket and how he lost them
how he took cash for making Taylor spec
ches-how he kept. tradesmen out Of their
money-how he borrowed from all who
would lend TO him, and often forgot to paw
how he received regular annuity from
several Of his friends, &c His great abili-
ties carried him through all this, under
which lesser men would have sunk; but
when he died he left none who had a like
claim upon friendly generosity, although in
a position greatly needing it. But il
Daily union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1865-1866, 1866-06-16

hardest of all 10 have these mercenarv re-
miniscences associated with lofty name.
The public has its own idea of clean palms
and of disinterested public service. The
younger Pitt did nothing which came nearer
to making him actually popular in England
than his refusal 70 receive money from the
city Of London. He, too, was extremely
poor and dreadfully in debt; but the pro-
posal to relieve him by public subscrip-
tiOn met at once with his decided and inhex-
ible disapprobation.
What 4 private man owes or does not
owe; whether he lives within or beyond his
income;.whether he be econimical or ex-
travagant, is merely his own business or
that Of his creditors. But Mr.. Webster's af-
fairs were made public affairs; his wants
were relieved by public subscriptions; his
pecuniary eccentricities were the theme of
public anecdote; every body who knew him
knew that he WASTED much money and often
wanted it, The silver vase, which is to be
preserved in the Boston Library, will inev-
itably perpetuate these scandals. This
should have been sufficient reason for con-
signing it to some less public custody, with
somewhat smaller violation of the laws of
good taste and gentlemanly feeling. But its
position having been settled, it must be ad-
mitted that the toy will not be without its
lesson-lessons which it is unnecessary for
us to more than suggest.
