A Nashville Sensation.

The city editor of the Nashville Press
and Times can get up sensation story"
of his own, or steal somebody else's with a
good deal of facility. Some time ago st.
Louis paper gave an account OF remark
able suicide which had just occurred near
that city, and in few days thereafter the
article was reproduced in tbs local columns
of the Press and Times the scene of the
tragedy being located Eve miles from
Nashville. Ia another column we repub
lish from yesterdays issue of that paper
story about the finding of human hand in
one of the water-pipes of the city-a hand
elasping a rusty jack-knife, and wearing
diamond ring which was reconiZed by
widow lady, at whose house the hand was
found, as one which her husband wore
when he mysteriously disappeared away up
the Cumberland river thirteen years ago.
How the hand could still grasp and hold
the knife after the flesh and muscles ol the
fingers had been annihilated, as they must
have been, by the wear and tear of thir-
teen years among the stones at the bottom
of the river, is a question which the Press
and Times must answer before the story can
take its place among the authentic things
Of history.-Louisvills Democrat
Our Louisville contemporary is certainly
becoming jealous of the fair fame of that
city. In these days ofsensations, Nashville
must also be heard, and the inventive
genius above referred to is deserving Of
no little credit.

TREATMENT OF CATARRH.

Our method of treatment for the cure Of
Calarrh embraces the thorough topical
medication of the affected regions by a
most ingenious and painless process, by
which every part of the diseased mucous
membrane can be effectively subjected to
the most perfect and complete remedial
control.
Not only are We enabled to bring any
desired medical solution to act directly
upon the very seat of the disease, our
process also allows the remedy employed,
to be kept in contact with the affected
surface sufficiently long to exercise its full
curative powers.
The striking advantage Of our plan Of
medication exhibit themselves in the
prompt and immediate beueft which fol-
lows treatment. Frequently, after the very
first application the fetor of fhe purulent
secretion is removed, the br cath is mate
rally purified, and sensible relief from
other troublesomes symptoms is e experienced
By degrees the discharge dimiuishes, IT.
ritation is allayed, chronic inflammation is
subdued, alterations are made to heal, I'M
til finally we succeed in re-sstablishing a
perfectly healthy surface and normal
condition of the parts affected.

STARTLING MYSTERY.

TWO Horses Drawing the Pillow Disap-
pear into the Earth.
We clip the following from the Knox
vile Press and Herald:
On Saturday morning, the 18th inst, as
Mr.. Glenn of New Market, Jefferson
county, Tennessee, was engaged blowing on
a side hill on the farm of Mr.. Hall, half
mile from New Market, he suddenly per-
ceiyed his team of horses disappear into
the ground beneath, leaving the pillow and
harness on terra firma. Upon examination
he discovered that the ground had first
given way under the hind feet of the
horses, thus ..'skinning" the harness over
their heads as the dumb beasts sank into
the bowels of the earth.
One of the horses was buried some
eighteen or twenty feet deep and of course
died instantly from suffocation. The other
remained in sight about twelve feet below
the surface. Mr.. Glenn and his son, who
also witnessed the occurrence, attempted to
save the living animal BY descending into
the cavity, but the earth kept giving way
beneath them and they were soon unable
to save themselves, ard were rescued from
their perilous position by neighbors whom
their cries brought to the scene. Both oil
the horses were lost
The cavity is circular, and twenty feet
in diameter. The dirt and horse fill the
center, while on each side is a large ifs
sure into which logs have been thrown,
disappearing from view, and it has been
found impossible to fill the cavities. There
are no rocks or stones to be seen, yet the
whole side seems TO be a mere crust be.

The early part Of Sol. Smiths theatri-
cal career was checkered and marked BY
vicissitudes of fortune in the sparsely
settled West, but he bore up manfully
under many reverses and finally achieved
substantial fame as an actor and accumuN
lated very handsome fortune.
He grew up with the theatrical spirit
of the West, and expanded with it. Ee
became a power in the theatrical world.
and his experience Of the stage extended
over nearly half century. As an actor
his forte was comedy, and he belonged to
the old legitimate stock of comedians, of
whom so few are left to grace the stage.
As social companion his temperament
was genial, and he possessed most
kindly disposition. He was also hus
moTist Of no mean pretensions, and his
contributions of this character to the
press are widely known and greatly rel
ished. He could tell good story and
embelliSh it with quaintness of style |
that was sure to win the applause of his |
hearers. As a recreation, after his retire> |
ment from the stage, he prepared and pub
lished volume of photographed char
acter entitled Theatrical Management
in the West and South for Thirty Y ears"
In this he collected his various sketches
Of theatrical life in general, and his own
experience in particular, and it is most
book. 1t was published last
year by the Harpers.
Some of So. Smiths children doubt
ess imbibed theatrical tastes from their
ather, and were encouraged to embark
q the profession by his success. Mark
Smith, his son, achieved his first tri>

starring tours and is now engaged at
