Cnnc PRESENTATION.

AT the Catholic Orphans Fair, in Apri
last, Hon. Emerson Etheridge received thu
highest number OF votes for prize cane
The managers Of the Fair, taking advan-
tage Of his present visit to Nashville, pre-.
sented the cane to him last night, through
Miss Jane Murray, in the parlor of the
Stacey House, where had assembled a
number Of the most elegant ladies OF
Nashville and many gentlemen. On pre-
senting the cane, Miss Murray said:
Hon. EMERSON ETHERIDE-I have been
appointed by the managers of the Fair
held by the ST. Mary's Orphan Associa
tion to present you with this cane. 1t is
the gift of your fellow citizens of the capt.
tol city of Tennessee, who are the true
friends of the grand old republic which we
cherish with such fond recollection, but
which is fast disappearing beneath the Oft
repeated blows of an unrighteous despot-
ism. Ii il a pledge Of what tie nsble cit
liens of Nashville will do on the great
day which is to decide whether Tennes-
scans are to be freemen or slaves. Accept
it as an omen of the better days in store
for down-trodden Tennesseans, when the
voice Of an indignant people will be heard
throughout the length and breadth of our
dear old State. The banner of the consti-
tuition has been unfurled to the bleeze; you
are our standard bearer in you our hopes
are cast and while you are instructing the
sons of Tennessee in the highest duties of
freemen, the daughters of the Rock City
will pour forth their earnest, heartfelt
prayers for the success of the only man
who can now raise the State of Tennessee
from her present humiliation.
Mr. Etheridge replied as follows:
Miss MURRAY: For many years my life
has been all anxiety and care, chiefly
because public duties have been assigned
me by too partial and confd ing friends
But it has often happened that the greatest
responsible lities, the seyerest trials, were
lessened by kind acts and approving
words, which this occasion forcibly recall S.
In no struggle of my life have | ever felt
so much responsibility az now; yet at no
period have been cheered by approval more
gratifying than that which is implied by
your kind words, and the lovely presence
in which stand.
To plead for public liberty is enough to
arouse the noblest attributes of mind and
heart; the encouragement of woman suffi>
cient to make tranquil the days in which
ambition will be felt no more The beau-
tiful gift will be preserved as sacred thing;
this occasion cherished among those to
which memory will ever fondly cling.
After the presentation, Mr.. Etheridge
was introduced to the ladies present, and
spent some moments in pleasant conyersa-
ton with them. 1t was evident that in
his earnest labors for the cause Of law and
order he has the smiles and prayers of his
fair countrywomen.
The cane is a splendid ebony with a gold
head, upon which is the following inscrip-
tom

CONJUGAL INFELICITY AND A GAY
BUTCHER BOY.

| BUTCHER BOY.
| Mysterious Disappearance and Re
appearance OF an Unappreciafed
Wife-DiVOrce, Shooting, and NUM-
| cIpaI Justice.
A certain divorce suit, the names of the
parties TO which must for the nonce remain
unwritten and unsung, was to have been
| tried in the Circuit Court on Friday last.
Everything conducive to the speedy termi-
nation of the process of severance seemed
progressing as we'll as could be desired by
the most belligerent couple that ever saw
broomaticks moving or listened to the bulb
bling of overheated water on a washing
| day. The dignified attorney had dispatched
| a note to his client, the charming better
| half who had sought freedom from house

she was 10 have been at his Office sometime
during the afternoon.
Soon after the sending of the message a
hack drove up TO the corner of Cedar street
and the Square, and the lovely client
alighted, but did not proceed to her lawyer
In fact, she mysteriously disappeared
d
could anywhere be found, though dear
brother was on the point of raving and
tearing his hair at her loss. In his rage
and grief he went to the station-house on
the Square and demanded the arrest of the
hack driver, charging hin with the alb
ductiOn of his sister. As the hackman,
however, had been doing nothing outside
of his legitimate business, and was not
aware that he had been instrumental in any
mischief, he was not molested
The brother was by no means put out
by this and he relaxednot a whit of his Wig
lance. Persevering, he at last got hold of
clue, and about dark Saturday night sta
toned himself near the corner of Cherry
and Broad streets. He had not long to wait
In few moments the identical hackman
of Cedar street and the Square drove up,
and gay and gallant young butcher step
ping to the door of the vehicle, was in the
act of assisting the missing, diyorce-seeking
wife, who had SO mysteriously disappeared
the day previous, to alight, when the sharp
report of a pistol suddenly brought the
whole party up standing The vengeful
bullet whistled through the wool of the I'M
fortunate hackman, but left him unframed,
and the interference of the police prevented
further demonstrations.
The woman was conveyed TO the house of
her brother, where she now is, while that
afectionate relative of hers was arrested
and yesterday paid fine of $50 and costs
in the Recorders Court, for his careless
ness.

the brachial artery, and wounding him
also severely in the axilla. Neither of the
