Hunting for the Greclan Bend under
difficulties. 81 - 4
Bill = lives in one ofthe gay.towns coz
tiguous to Nashville, and arrived here yes
terday morning, in search of Grecian
bend. He said bis wife had set her head
that way, and she was bound to have the
latest wrinkle, cost what it may. That's
what he said TO the clerk as he registered
his name at an early hour in the morning,
and stepping into saloon he called for
drink. A connection was kindly furnished
of course, and was so agreeable to Bill that
he thought he would call for another. The
same sort of mixture was placed upon
the counter, and Bill swallowed it with q
gusto. 81 don't like to be inquisitiVe,"
said Bill, "b1t will you please inform
me what you call that drink "That, sir, is
the Grecian Bend Cocktail" replied the
bar.keeper, in his usual bland manner.
''The very thing Susie wants" said Bill,
"give me another, and If you can make it
convenient, l want one of them fixed up in
bottle before start home. "No trouble"
said the bar-keeper-"Will be happy to
accommodate you" Bill then returned to
his hotel, got breakfast, and started ont
The day, however, being rather inclemeni,
he returned frequently to the saloon, and
called for Zone of them Grecian bends
every time. By noon, he had managed to
throw twenty-three Grecian bends under
his belt, and it "stuck out" on him muchly,
His mouth had the modern twist, and his
tongue was rolling around loosely. Hii
body hitherto straight, was now on the ser
pentine order, but he was still laxative
and able to keep his best foot foremost
Being liberal in blr-room expenditures, he
had no trouble in finding friend, and Bill
and that friend started for the races. Il
was an unlucky day for Bill. He put NJ
his money on the wrong horse, and los
heavily, but still had enough money left tt
take another twist or two at the Greciar
Bend Bazaar.
| About o'clock last night we met Bill
at the police station. There was tear il
his eye and a brick in his hat, and benz
in his every appearance. He looked too
like an individual who had his ''back up
or in other words, afflicted with TN
STOPPING collie" The usual search wa
instituted, and in his coat pocket was fOunC
bottle of the aforesaid, labeled "GreciaI
bend" He made the necessary explana
ton to the Sergeant on duty, and said tina
he desired 10 leave on the o'clock train
which request was granted, and with tn
Grecian beGd in his hat, and bottle ful
of the same stuff, he departed for home Il

The New York Post of the afternoon of
the 10th inst. says
"At the sale of government gold to-day
bids were filed for SIS, 10000 OF the
$500 600 offered 100000 was sold at l37 "a
and the balance at 1881. This price is
above the average of the market during
the morning.
"The money market Is without notable
feature. Government dealers are general
ly supplied at per cent. The banks how
ever, are obtaining the full legal rate on all
their loans, and report an active inquiry.
Among stockholders unemployed balances
are loaned in some instances at Elk, yet the
greater number of loans among this class
are at seven per cent. The report clrcu-
lated late yesterday afternoon that another
attempt was 10 be made to create an arli-
fetal stringency lacks confirmation az yet
no indications of such a movement are ap-
parent. A decreased amount Of business
is reported ia commercial paper, without
any change in quoted rates
The Louisville Democrat says in its foan-
ciaI article of Saturday evening:
'Tn our local stock and bond market We
have had many changes during the week.
LouisyiIle and Nashville railroad stock
has fallen to 63@64c a considerable decline
since our last weekly, AZ it was then quoted
at G5@@6Gfc. The great feature in the
market, however, has been the Offering Of
$500 900 worth of the bonds Of the city of
, Louisville to the EIizabethtOWn and Padu-
cab railroad, some 100000 OF which has
been sold at So and interest. These bonds
are regarded with special favor, as they
have but twenty years to run, and bear
per cent. interest"

For the information Of our citizens, we
publish an extract of the law under which
the City Revenue Collector proposes to en-
force the collection of taxes now claimed
as due. TIE law itself can be found on
page 50, of book entitled, A Digest Of
the Charter and Ordinances Of the City Of
Nashville" compiled by one A. Lowering,
for which he was paid one thousand dollars
out of thu City Treasury.
SEC. Is. That the collector, delaying the
enforcement of the collection by distress
for voluntary payment during three months
except when, in his judgment, the tax
payer is about removing himself or prop
erty, not leaving sufficient property sub
Ject 10 execution in this city to satisfy the
taxes for which the same is liable, shall at
tend the TreasureTs Office, in such city,
during business hours of each week day
for two months, giving notice thereof by
publication 10 some newspaper, in this
city, and by posting at the Mayors Of
ice and Courthouse, for that time, for the
payment OF the taxes assessed, according
to the roll and assessment in bis hands;
and for the succeeding month, he will call
en- taxpayers neglecting payment, with
authority 10 charge on all collections made
after such personal call, Eve per centum as
costs, in addition TO the amount on the tax
list up to one thousand dollars, and above
that amount two per centum; and after
that period, he shall proceed on his war
rants, according to its tenor, by distress and
sale of the personal property Of the tax
payers, etc.
| SEC. 16. That after the collector shall
have made diligent search, and have been
unable to find personal property of any
kind subject TO sale for the delinquent
taxes, he shall, during the month Of Janu.
airy make his report to the Circuit Court Of
Davidson county, of all such delinquent
taxes assessed, etc.
From this it will be seen that the ReVe-
nue. Collector cannot issue distress wants
until after thirty days, nor can he proceed
against real estate until he has made hi
return to the January Court.

ca Sunday evening last difficulty oc.
Cured in the streets Of Franklin, William
son county, between Bowen lteddicll and
VIM. Park, both negroes. During the
alteration, the former drew a pistol and
shot the latter through the body, and from
the effects of the wound, he died almost
instantly. VIM. Park had all the time
acted with the Democratic party against
the Radicals, and our readers are familiar
with the letters published under his name
in tbe Union AND AMERICAN. We have
not vet ascertained the particulars of the
difficulty, but opine that his political posi-
ton had something to do with the murder.

The sales for the week ending this eve
ming amount to 2l3 hhds, and for the cur
rent tobacco year to %, OIL hhds.
The crop in Kentucky, notwithstanding
rains and frOsts, and other difficulties with
which planters have had to contend, will
be large; and from present indications,
fully $4,000 hhds will be offered in this
market. The sales to day at the Pickett
