For Freight or Passage Apply On
Board.
The street cars are good institution and
decidedly convenient during sloppy wealth
err. An individual yesterday was return
ing from market, and struck car just in
the nick Of time. In addition to his basket
Of provisions, he had also in his hand four
large geese. They were white geese, with
keen grey eyes, and beautiful and graceful
arched necks. The individual deposited
his live freight on the floor of the car, but
no sooner had they learned the fact that
they were free from the grasp Of the man
who had clenched fist on their legs, than
there was fluttering decidedly une1pect-
ed. Such tapping of wings, and such
rustling of hooped skirts, we have not seen
for many a day. One old lady sitting in
the car was heard to remark that goose
grease was very good in sickness, but she
could not see the fitness Of such things in
uch a place.

Death or an old Citizen

Mr.. Fielding P. Cook, for more than
quarter of a century citizen, died on
Sunday night last AFTER long and painful
illness.
Mr.. Cook was a native Of WOodford
county, KY, and was sixLy-six years OF
age at the time Of his death. For many
years he had been the superintendent and
proprietor of the famed sulphur springs In
the northern portion Of the city, and his
name is closely identified with them as
widely known water and bathing establish
ment. He had served as janitor OF the
medical department of Nashville Univer-
sity and also of Shelby Medical College,
and was known by all classes Of citizens as
a sober, orderly and upright member of
the com nunity. He will be greatly missed
in his sphere, especially by the visitors to
the sulphur springs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS, 1S6S.-Section

that after the fifteenth day of February,
1869, no smoking or fine cut chewing to-
bacco or snuff shall be sold or offered for
sale unless put up in packages and stamped

| convenience and expense unless they can
be permitted to repack stocks on hand now
iH bulk packages into the packages as now
required by law, under the supervision OF
the proper officers of internal revenue.
In order to furnish the relief desired it

| ply 70 such assessor, and on submitting &c
him satisfactory proof that the tobacco
which the dealer desires TO repack and
have reinspected was properly inspected
Under the former law, and was included in
his inventory made pursuant TO section 7e
Of the act of July, 20, 1868, said assessor
may direct an inspector of tobacco for the
district to supervise the repacking. Tht
tobacco having been put up in the pack
ages required, may be packed in cases OF
enclosures of such size as the dealer may
desire.
| 1t will be the duty of the inspector t.
personally supervise the packing in thes'
cases or enclosures, and when the work il
done he will transcribs upon each case OF
enclosure the inspection marks and brand
upon the original packages, and also mari
as follows, viz: "Repacked under my
supervision" together with the date, thu
State and district, and bis own name anC
official title; and he will Immediately

showing the number of packages branded
the kind and quantity in each, and tn
name of the person or firm for whom th'
reinspectien was made, with the number o
original packages, and the original inspec
ton marks or brands upon each package
The inspectors fee will be the same a

"The money market works more easily,
and the large number of loans up TO this
hour on both railway and government bond
collateral have been made at the legal rate.
Exceptional transactions are reported at
coin interest. Dividends due January /,
and paid since that date, are finding their
way back into the market, and are steadily
increasing the supply of loanable funds.
The demand for currency from the South
continues, bat ia in the aggregate much
smaller than of late, while currency ia re-
turning from this center TO the West. The
fear that the usury Law would be enforced
has given the market the appearance of
ease, lenders having generally reduced
rates.
Government bonds have been buoyant
on large business. The easier condition
of the loan market has encouraged large
purchases on speculative account, while
the demand for investment is unusually
brisk, some of the leading dealers having
received orders from country banks for
heavy amounts"

A Card 20 the PabIie.
We the undersigned, take pleasure in
noticing that our friend and fellow-citizeD,
Mr.. Fl. N. Pratt, has bought out the en-
tire interest of his late partner, Mr.. Jas.
Walker, in the old established Rock City
Soap Factory. Mr.. Pratt is man whose
every Interest is identified with the growth
and prosperity of this city and the South
ern country at large. Sustaining home
manufacture is duty incumbent upon US
all, and We should not send our capital
from home to support the manufactures at
the North and East when we can be just az
we'll supplied in our own market. Every
dollar retained amongst us helps us as q
people just 30 much, whereas every dollar
sent out of the South impoverishes us in
the same proportion. II ia a conceded fact,
that the soap produced at the "Rock City
Soap Factory" are far superior to any
article brought TO this market apprOIimat-
ing the same price, and the factory should
be patronized TO its full capacity by our
business men and the community at large
We cbeerfully recommend Mr.. Pratt as a
gentleman in every way worthy of the
patronage and confidence of the Southern
people.
