The once imposing Coliseum is now
little better than more wreck, aud its
ruinous and dismantlnd condition gives
u moro striking proof Of the fury of the
storm and the havoc which it wrought
than any other instance that can be cited.
Shortly before 6 o'clock furious gust
of wind struck upon the orchestral end
of the building '.like hsmmer," as sailors
say. In few minutes the large circular
window, which is twenty feet iii diameter,
yielded to the blast, and the wind getting
inside, the building quivered like a reed.
The whole orchestral eud now crashed
in, and the blast, sweeping with resistlcss
fury to the other extremity, as speedily
forced out the other eud. In a few
moments the whole eaifice seemed to be
the sport of the elemeats, and the wind,
getting underneath thereof, playfully lift
ed it oil, piece by ypiece, until the whole of
the transept was entirely unroofed. The
air was darkened with falling and flying
timbers, which were tossed and blown
about like shavings. The crash WIS
tremendous, and struck awe into all
behriders. The organ was speedily
levelled to the ground, and buried in u
chaotic mass of timber The big drum
was also laid fiat, and pierced in several
places by the falling timbcrs.
Immense pieces of the roof were car
ried considerable distances, and fell on
every side. at the time of the gale
there were ten visitors within the build
ing, seven of whom were ladies. There
were also two boys working, aud Samuel
Wilson, the doorkecper, aud dog.
Directly the end window was forced in,
the Indies rushed out in state of the
greatest terror and bowilderment, and
some of them made. their way amid Il
shower Of falling tiaihers to the open
aground. One or two of them turned
back into the bulldog. but were urged
to go out again by Gre doorkceper, who
feared that they migs be killed, as the
whoie structure ses,ssed- as if it would
come down. The dog was panic stricken,
apd would not move. Fortunately no one
Wis hurt. The catastrophe was witnessed
by several persons. A car was brought
to stand still on Berkeley street, and
some men getting out in state of alarm,
were speedily blown to the ground.

Love, jeaiousy anu anu Bees.

The presence the green-eyed monster
is as frequently perceived in high as in
low estate. Pretty young ladies are, It
is said, peculiarly liable to the disease.
Is creeps into their hearts in sacb
insidious disguise that the artless little
beauties are not aware of its existence
until it crops out in such passionate
excesses that it frightens them to contcm-
plate it.
No doubt it was precisely in such a
way that young lady on Franklin
street, Albany, became amenable to its
influence. For some time past she has
regarded youth with especial favor.
Charlie possesses many attractive
qualities. He dresses in the latest mode,
wears an "Alpine," and cultivates a
moustache. Yet he is fckle in his
disposition, and while his lips were
attuned to the harmony of sweet words,
and low passionate recital Of loves
anguish for the fair Julia's ears, his
mind is enumerating the attractions of
the pretty little widow around the corner.
Now, this widow is no friend of Julia
or she of her. For her life she can't see
what Charlie admircs in her. Indeed,
Charlie denies any special interest in the
coquettish beauty but he goes to see her
none the less. The fact that Julia
disapproyed it had no effect ia changing
his practice, and longing with woman's
curiosity to know what it meant, Julia
determined to find it out She forgot
her self-respect, and became spy. The
pretty Julia became an eavesdropper.
Seeing Charlie entering the front door
of the cozy little cottage wherein the
widow abided, she hasteaed to admit her
self into the yard by the rear gate, aud
peeped in at the window. Just under
meath the window, however, was little
square box, on which Julia stood to get
a good look into the room. Her worst
feats were realized. On sofa just large
enough for two, the pretty widow aud
Charles sat, with heads inclined, and
a low liionotono issuing fromsthe lips oil
either, telling, as plainly as words might
have done, Of loves confessions.
Julia stepped back, the box turned
over, and innumerablc angry little insects
issuing, proclaimed it beehive. Oh
course they stung her. Fierce as mimic
warriors the angry little demons laid
hold of her shapely extremities, popping
a sting into her plump little hand, another
into her rounded cheek, and even the
silken hose were no protection to the
exquisitely fashioned ankle She rolled
on the ground and crushed ruthlessly in
mud and mire her hands, feet and body

snnfhern Farmers, Denof.


The most attractive place in the city for
farmers and others interested in agriculture
is at T. Ii. Jones & Co.'s Southern Farm
ers' Depot, 2 and 4, corner College and
Church streets. They are realizing the
most gratifying results from their liberal
system of advertising, and are preparing
for heavy fall trade by rapidly filling
their mammoth agricultural warehouse
with every conceivable improvement in
farming implements and machinery suited
to the season. The success of these gen.
tIemen is almost without q parallel, and is
due perhaps as much to their politeness
and kindness to their customers as to the
indomitable energy, enterprise, and prompt
ness in business which has characterized
them from the beginning. To practical ex-
perience in agricultural affairs they add
a thorough knowledge Of the wants of the
| Southern people; and by their integrity
and fair dealing have won host Of friends
among the planters and dealers Of the
South. They are selling goods to every
State South; and demonstrating the fact
which we have 30 often impressed upon our
business men of the certain benefits arising
from a judicious system of advertising.
The Southern trade rightfully belongs to
| Nashville, and if her wholesale merchants
but initiate the praiseWorthy and sue
cessful example Of this enterprising firm
by seeking their custom, and offering suffi-
cient inducements, we may hope soon to
see new life infused into every branch of
business, and our "Rock City" hourishing
like "A Green Bay Tree"

= Young Desperndo Shot.

The Huntington West Tennessean gives
the following particulars Of the shooting
Of John Roodyboy at that place on Mon.
day last, which we referred 10 several days
since:
Some time since having a trifing diff
Guilty with a man at Wsverly, he rushed
into the dwelling of the man and sought
determinstely to shoot him, az his wife
was hanging TO her husbands neck, beg
ging for his life. From there he went
to Hollow Rock, and on last Saturday
evening several men were having a
pleasant time" when Roodyboy, having
his pistol in his hand, was asked by one
of the men to let him see it. saying, you
don't get this any more. At this John
knocked him down, wrenched the pistol
from him, and shot him in the shoulder,
after which he made his escape, and
during the night stole horse from Dr.
Rowe, Of Hollow Rock. The next day,
about ten miles north of here, he was dis
covered by some boys asleep by the road
side, and as they started home the horse
broke loose and followed him. He
was caught in the edge of Henry
county the same day, he being a
foot, and taken to house and placed un-
der guard. There were twelve men in the
room at one time, and 30 determined was
he to make his escape, that in their imidst
he snatched a pistol from the table, and
sought to shoot DR.. Rowe, and made his
escape, and was only prevented by the
quick efforts Of some of those present.
The next day he was tied,
and started with to this place; on arriving
at the edge of town he begged persistently
to have his hands united, saying that if he
made any efIrt to escape they might shoot
him. Thus he was brought into town,
| and at The public square
the party met deputy sherih
Patterson, remarkiDg that they had a
prisoner for him. He told Johnny to
stop, but as the party were talking,
Roodyboy spurred up the mule which
he was riding, and was making the best
effort possible to escape. The sheriff
ordered him several times to stop, but he only
kicked and urged on the mule. when the officer
| gave the order to shoot him. This they did.
| In the firing Roodyboy was hit four times be-

bone and left shoulder. in the hip. in
the left groin. and just below the knee. A leSal

for which there is 80 great demand in

rescue of distressed housekeepers. The
correspondent represents that almost
withou5 exception the families who have
made experiment of their service have
come to regard it as great and blessed
relief in the matter of housekeeping.
He says he has had this service for many
| months in his home. The new servants
are neat, cheerful, skillful, careful and
economical they put on no airs; they
stipulate for no privileges; they entertain
no company; they look sharp after all the
"odds and ends" They are satisfied
with a very humble oommissariat for
themselves They make no complaint Of
"large washings," or ':much company,
or sweeping days" or irregularities in
the family" such as many have heard for
years. They take hold of the tasks Of
each day, no matter how heavy, with the
same accomplishing cheerfulness, and
carry them patiently through to the cons
Summation with a quiet aequiescence
which is most admirable. They never

exhortations, except with the simple
hearty "sll right" which assures you
that they comprehend and will do what
is told them. Any new service, beyond
their experience, when once shown, they
achieve with an initiative dexterity that
makes it a pleasure to teach them.

B. Brownlow and ex-SupsrTisor Noal
interviewed the President to-day on tn,
subject Of the eccentric politics Of Ten
| neSsee. u
General Grant Inquired what were thu
chances for Andrew Johnson's coming to
the Senate, and Brownlow replied that
he thought them meager. The Presiden;
said Andrew johnson would suit him a;
well as any other Democrat, and ridi-
culed the idea that the ex-President
could give any special annoyance in the
event Of an election.
He also expressed himself as friendly
to Governor Senter and the Republicans
who supported him. He denied the res
port that he intended to remove off
GERS at the suggestion of Stokes, and said
that he should recognize Senter as Re-
publican until he had some reason to
change his opinion; that he desired to
harmonic the Republican party in that
State and elsewhere, and that wholes
sale removal of officers would have the
effect of embittering and driving away
friends, and he would say as much to
Stokes.
Brownlow says johnson will not be
elected Senator, because, for one reason,
the old Wing element largely predomi-
mates in the new Legislature, and that the
opposition to johnson grows daily, as
well on the part Of Democrats as others.
AN AMUSING INCIDENT occurred by

peace" BroWnlow and Noah did not
want to 60 in with Stokes, which feeling
Stokes evidently reciprocated; but, as
