APromIsIng Youth.

A young man, a shoemaker by trade
giving his name as Rhosderborough and
Nashville as his former home, has lately
been cutting up some rather wild capers at
Hollow Rock, q station on the Nashville
and Northwestern railroad. Last Satur-
day he robbed the drawer of q storekeeper
named Phillips, taking therefrom $25 in
currency and a pistol. The same day the
light-fngersd youth lost the stolen money
10 game of cards, and with the pistol shot
and badly wounded man named Miller,
who attempted TO arrest him. Mounting
another mans horse, the wicked youth
made his escape from the place, and Moth
ing has since been heard Of him.

Last week in one Of the New Orleans

The Judge who Is noted for his auster-

was sworn, and was, of course, expected

unused to criminal proceedings, and ems

erect:
"Why don't you kiss ?" demanded the

''Sar p

An Ola soldier Gone.


At st. Vincenps Hospital, in this city,
on Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock, Peter K.
StankieWicz died after lingering illness:
He was a native of Prussia, and received
the military education to which that na-
ton subjects its citizens under the system
instituted by Frederick the Great. He
was a man of intelligence and superior
soldier. Shortly after landing In America
he enlisted in the Usited States regular
service, and was attached 10 the artillery
arm until the expiration of his period of
enlistment in 1856. In 1859 he was en-
ployed as JanitOr Of Shelby Medical Col
lege and continued in that post until the
outbreak of the war. 10 1861 he enlisted
in the Confederate service, and under Col.
Holman was made Lieutenant Of artillery
at Fort Henry, on the Tennessee river.
After the fall Of that place he served at
Fort Donelson, and followed the fortunes
of the Confederate army under Gen.
A. 3. Johsston uRtil he was cap
tured Ia 1853. He passed through
this city, being held prisoner for time =
and during tbs remainder Of the war, was
cor fined at Fort Delaware. His efficiency
as an artillery officer gained him the rank
Of Captain. At his death he was over
sixty years Of age.
Upon his return to this city in 1865, he
was made Janitor Of the Medical Depart.
ment of the University Of Nashville, and
In that capacity he fell sick during the
past winter, and was taken in charge by
the Faculty of that Institution, and lodged
and treated In the hospital until his death,
as above mentioned. All attention was
paid the old veteran, and the Faculty ate
tended his intermsnt on yesterday eve
ming at the City Cemetery:
Capt. Stankiewicz was 10 the regular
service with President Grant (then a
Captain, and on a visit to st. Louis in
1867, where his family resides at the pre-.
sent time, he was heartily recognized and
received az an old comrade in arms by
Gen. Grant. He was brave soldier, and
faithful to his duty wherever he served.
Many men not 30 meritorious as the old
Captain obtained celebrity and promotion
in both armies. He died In poverty, but
not in privation, and to the last proved
himself worthy of the attention Of his
friends.
st. Louis papers will please notice the
announcement of his death.

d A Young man named E. W. TurDey, who
halls from Huntsville, Alabama, arrived
in the city On Saturday, last and pusups t:
the Commercial Hotel. Yesterday morn-
ing he made HIS appearance al one of cur
banks. with q check signed Farman, Green
& Co, and made payable to the order Of
A. w. Thompson for sl6s. Ga presenting
il, he was informed that the firm did not
deposit there, when he then proceeded to
another bank, and presented tia second
tiae, when The teller, who saw al glance
that il was not the genuine signature
of the house, commenced questioning
him, and ssked him where he
got the check. Calling by name
one Of ths clerks In the house, he said he
had procured Il from him. The teller then
requested that he should accompany him
TO the house Of FurmAn & Co, and the
two started toward Cedar Street. The
check was shown 10 Mr.. Fnrman, and he
Immediately pronounced Il forgery,
when Turner, being questioned further
about II, remarked thai he did not say he
got IL from that gentleman above
referred 10, bat that acquainted with him.
He then stated thai he had purchased It
from man In the bar room of the Com
DercIAl Hotel, paying him $50 for II.
Policeman Fredericks was then sent for
and placed Turnsy under arrest upon the
charge Of forgery, and taking him TO the
station house, searched his person and
| found In one of his pockets q similar
check, drawn for precisely the same
amount. The policeman also examined
the register at the hotel, apd found that
his signature corresponded with ths sig'
nature of the check, and also bundle o.
clothing on which his name was written
was exactly the same hsnd writing.
