GENERAL MARKETS.
Weekly Review Of Nashville Whole
sale Markets.

NASHVILLE, May Is, 1867.
Since our last weekly review, there has
been no improvement in any Of our mar
kets except the cotton market. 1t has in
proved slightly under favorable advicts
from abroad, but is yet far below the views
Of sellers Of the great staple. The other
markets are all quiet. There is some de-
mand for corn and bacon, and considerable
sales daily, but less than was anticipated.
CorToN-The cotton market since orr
last has continued depressed though prices
have gradually improved, until they are
fully 2 cents better. The sales yesterday

SneciaI Notice.

ON THE OPENING OF A BILLIARD
Room it is generally the custom, as every
one knows, to have several champions present to
entertain the public FOR A FEW HOURS; but on
account of so much suffering among our people
we thought proper to give the orphans of this
city and poor of Chattanooga that benefit, which
we have done for the last two weeks And
again, as it is sometimes the custom of giving
premiums, such ms watches, etc, and having
proof of the last two weeks business that the
citizens of Nashville appreciate our efforts to
help the needy, we have therefore concluded to
give ten per cent. of our profit to the poor of
Nashville, from the LIST day of April. 1867, up to
October lst, 1867, (siX months,) which amount
will be RENTED weekly to the Mayor of Nash
vile. We hope that the amateur billiard play
cause and sustain it.

ONE Of the most unique and attractive
marriages we have seen took place in DR..
Bairds church, last night, between Mr..
r. r. Freeman and Miss Alice McQuiddy.
The bride and groom knelt and Joined
hands from opposite sides of table, in the
middle Of the altar, on which was an open
bible covered with a wreath Of flowers. A
beautiful pyramid of flowers was suspended
over their heads from the ceiling The
ceremony was simple, but impressive.
The audience was large and elegant, and
everything
Went merry as a marriage bell"
May the unfading flowers of love and
trust ever shed their aroma along the path
of their married life.

THE graves Of the Confederate dead at

the anniversary of Stonewall JackRon's
death, and is for two reasons a more suita-

PEEPING THROUGH THE BLINDS

~ - - NJ " 0AA II - = = = 80
In place of books, or work, or play.
Some ladies spend the Hve-long day,
In scanning every passer by,
And many a wonder they descry!
They find among the motley crowd
That some are gay and some are proud;
That some are short aud some are tai,
They get their Information all
by peeping through the blinds!
You walk the streets Cat common pace1,
You catch the outlines of a face;
The face seems strange; again you look,
Dear sir she knows you like abook!
She knows the color of your hair, Il -
The very style of clothes you wear. stes
She knows your business, I'll be bound,
And all your friends the country round,
BY peeping through the blinds!
She knows the Smiths across the way,
And what they dine on every day;
And thinks that Miss Matilda Jane
Is growing very proud and vain.
She knows the Browns at Number Four,
Just opposite her very door;
Folks quite as poor as they can be,
For don't they sit and sew while she
- Is peeping through the blinds?
Dear ladies, If you don't succeed
In gaining knowledge that you need,
Then at your window take your seat,
And gaze into the busy street;
Full soon you'll read your neighbors well
And can their tastes and habits tell,
And know their business to a r.
Much better than your own. you see,
BY peepfng through the blinds
