Eew Nashville Theaier,

There we're three pieces presented at

with "Little Barefoot" which was rendered
exquisitely, Miss Nelly Germon taking the
part of Mary, Hamilton, Hewitt, Cooper,
AID Miss Lizzie Cooper giving good assist
ance. Shakspeare's comedy of Katharine
and Petruchio was the next piece, with the
charming Miss Nellie as Katharine and
Mr.. johnson as Petruchio, both characters
being we'll enacted. The ever pleasing
farce of the Spectre Bridegroom concluded
the entertain ment. The bill for tonight is
caste" and ''Old Guard"
We speak for.the enterprising manage
ment a full house tonight. The little
theater is very co mforiable, and the most
perfect order prevails.

The new building on College street, south
west corner Of the Public Square, has been
and presents very handsome
appearance. The house and lot is the
property of John Thompson, and cost
$4,000. The building is one hundred and
seventy-five feet in depth, and extends |
from College street TO Printers alley. |
Messrs. Hamilton & Cunningham, hard.
ware merchants, occupy the store, together
with the basement and a spacious room in
the second story. They have already com.
menced the removal of :heir stock, and
when properly fixed up, will have one of
the finest hardware houses in the country.
There is sky light in the centre of the
building, which affords all the light neces-
sary, and in this particular makes the
store doubly attractive. The second and
third stories are reached by a stairway
from the front, and in each story there are
four elegant rooms, together with spaci-
Gus hall, and each floor is supplied with,
water closets, water and gas pipes, and in
fact every convenience necessary.
The front is built of stone taken from
Bosley's quarry, and the architecture and
design of the building throughout reflects
great credit upon the skill and taste of
Messrs. Dobson & Williamson, the archi-
tects. This firm by the way, have rented
the front rooms, third story, which they
are now engaged in handsomely fitting up
for an Office.
10 addition TO the handsome appearance
it presents, the building has been suGstan-
italy constructed. The foundation was
done by Callahan & Walsh, and Simmons
& Philips were the contractors for the brick
work and the wood work, which they have
executed in their usual excellent manner,
Melton & Ruth did the painting, and
Cooper the plastering, both excellent jobs
while Phillips & Ashley we're the contrac'
tors for the roofing and galvanized iron
work, and Henderson Brothers the gas
fixtures, plumbing etc. In short, the build
ing reflects credit upon our Nashville me
chanics, and at the same time speaks vel
for the enterprise of the proprietor. Fol
several years past little has been done ii
Nashville in the way Of frst-class business
houses, and We hope now that a change fol
the better has commenced, and that oul
people will evince the same spirit q en-
terprise that was observed before the war
Let us but have that peaeeable solution c
a affairs that We have been promised, re
duction Of present enormous taxation, an(
1 our capitalists will again turn their atten
ton 10 the improvement of the city, anC
= the investment Of their funds in something
that will pay them, give employment t.
our worthy mechanics, and be the mean
of placing Nashville again upon the list o
enterprising cities Of the country.
Messrs. Hamilton & Cunningham have
rented the main room of the above build
ing for one year with the privilege Of TEL
years. We congratulate them upon hav
ing secured probably the beet location fol
their business in the city.

turers who control Loyal Leagues, and

pet-baggers and scalawags who have
usurped the government Of the State.
Their conduct bears most honorable con-
trast TO that of the native and imported
whites who are to-day flushed with victory
gained by fraud. While this class Of white
men have exhibited degree of meanness

shown degree Of manliness and liberality

Hard on the Sale of Church Pews.

Hard on the Sale of Church PeWs.
In the Protestant Episcopal Convention
at New York, Rev. Mr.. Walsh the other
dav said: 81 understand the Oriental
Church is looking at some things in this
church with great distrust. 1t is allowing
an auctioneer TO come into the House OF
God and sell the pews year by year. They
look upon that with horror. ! ehould not
care if an earthquake were TO come and
knock all these churches down that are
only private chapels.
"The next day, the committee on canons
reported an amended canon making it un-
lawful to hold public sale of pews in any
consecrated church. This, in the form OF
a resolution condemning such sale', was,
after some debate, adobted."

a yerv bad wound on her head, and causing
the little girl TO endure much pain. Such
