NEW THEATER.



The weather was execrably bad hast night,
It beng as dark as pitch and raining, and
the streets slippery. Notwithstanding these
untoward circumstances, however, there
was good audience and very refined one
at the New Theater, to witness Miss Hos
mers impersonation of Juliet. Romeo
and Juliet is one of the masterpieces of
Shakespeare, rousing all the intense pas
sions that stir the human soul, either
tender or fiery, happifying OF despon-
dent. Miss Hosmer has Just and exact
conception and appreciation of the charae-
ter which she delineates with the skill and
naturalness Of master. Some parts of
her acting last night spproximated to the
sublime, while it was ali good. The char.
acter is one Just suited to her exalted tai
ents and versatile genius. From the time
she steps upon the stage she loses her iden-
tity, and till the close of the piece
she is no longer Miss Hosmer, but the
veritable Juliet as idealized in the grand
creation of the immortal author. The
balcony scene last night was a specimen of
perfect acting and while we will not follow
her through the play we will say in justice
to the gifted lady, that her entire rendition
of the part was excellent, classical and
thrilling. Miss Hosmer Justly ranks among
the finest actresses in the country and will
gather yet brighter laurels in the histrionic
profession. As Romeo, Mr.. Dalton, came
fully the mark last highland indicated
the high reputation he enjoys. Miss Mollio
Bernard as Nurse and Miss Richmond as
Lady Capulet, did admirably well, while
Mr.. Wallace Britton as ''Mercutio,' very
important part, proved himself to be a
finished actor with a clear conception. He
has already become favorite among our
people. Miss Hosmer was well sustained
by the entire company, which is the best
We have ever had in Nashville. The enter
tainment closed with the Trough Dia-
mond," a laughable farce that brought
down the house with roars of laughter.
There is a very attractive bill for tonight,
and we hone TO see full house

Had it Had.

In stepping into a Cherry street car
yesterday, the first object that met our
view was a man torpidly drunk, lying on
his face lengthwise in the middle of the
car. He was the most perfect specimen Of
breathing stupefaction We ever saw. He
was large, burly fellow, and got in the
car In the southern part of the city. All
attempts to rouse him were vain. After
the car had turned the corner and reached
College street on its return, the driver, as
sisted by some others, lifted him out and
laid him by the side of little shop, where,
with pitying sigh, we left the poor be-
sotted man to his fate

avenues very large and elegant buildings
have been erected, both for business houses

A Pleasant Party.

We attended the dance given by the Am
brose Club at their hall on Front street,
Tuesday night, and we're pleasantly enter
tanned by the members of the club, for
which we return thanks. The crow was large
and appreeiative, and enjoyed themselves
hugely" We met there the Grand Tusk
of the ancient order Of the L. E. FAINT Club,
and it amused us to see him tripping the
light fantastic toe and exhibiting the
charm which he received from Asia Minor
a few days since also the young man who
helped TO kill so many rabbits. The supper,
gotten up under the supervision of Capt
Ambrose, was pronounced by all as excel
lent. The music, under the leadership Of
ALI Dodd, WAS splendid, and the dancing
was continued until late hour. We un-
derstand that another dance will be given
by the club during the Christmas holidays.

In has been estimated that the first
years earnings of the Union Pacific
Railroad will amount to $S,000,00 To
this statement the Sacramento Union de-
murs and remarks, ''The road will of
course be blocked by snow during parts of
January, February, March and April. "
The Secretary of the Central Pacific
railroad reports the gross earnings of that
road, for the six months ending Sept. so,
at So, 800, 900 in gold, or $4,000, 900 in
currency. This half of the year includes
April, which the Union remarks, KS
probably the month that offers greatest
distractions to transportation over the
Sierra Nevada. The first half of May
might also be included as not much more
profitable than April. Land-slides and
snow-slides are frequent during these six
weeks. In March, February and January
there are usually heavy SHOWS, and last
winter was no exception TO the rule.
Making the necessary deductions for inI
teITuptiOns on the two roads during these
four and half months, the Union
thinks the annual gross earnings of the
Central Pacific will be S., $40, 900 in gold,
or 1920, 900 in currency, and those of
the Union Pacific S., 900, 900 in gold, or
Sc, 600, 900 in currency, making the total
gross receipts of the entire line for the
year ending June l, 1870, $14, $50, 900 in
currency.

Carnio, and his assistants, were Supplied,
frightened at result so unexpected, and
at the power of an agent which, in their
hands, had restored life TO a body whose
right to exist the law had forfeited.
The learned surgeon, who had only had
IN view simple physiological experiment,
employed all his skill to continue this
work, which science, aided against all ex-
pectation by nature, had so singularly
commenced. He assisted the process of
cicatrlzation, which progressed under the
most favorable conditions. BY means of
an nsophagian probe liquid nourishment
was introduced into the stomach. At the
end OF about three months the cicatriza-
ton was complete, and motion, though
still difficult became more and more ex-
tended. AT length, at the end of seven
months and a half, Aveiro-C arines was
able to rise and walk, feeling only slight
stiffness in the neck and feebleness in
the limbs.

We are informed by citizens living in
the vicinity, and who are Of unquestiOned
veTacity, that perfect reign OF terror pre-
walls, cut in the neighborhood Of the old
contraband camp, caused 10y the negroes
there. There are large numbers there who
do nothing but create disturbances. They
have pistols and guns and are a general
terror They shoot down stock. They
steal cattle, hogs, poultry and vegetables
wherever found. 1t is impossible to keep
anything in the eating line in the vicinity
without the utmost vigilance. We are
assured that unless some relief be afforded,
it will be impossible for decent people to
remain in the neighborhOod. A similar
state Of things, we are told exists in the
vicinity of Rocktown on the Franklin pike.
Something should be done at once to stop
these outrages

examination of Applicants.

About 200 applicants for positions on the
new police force registered their names
yesterday, and were examined by the Mayor
and Police Committee. There are several
to be examined yet Among the applicants
there were the names of some of the pres

many fine-looldng, sober and industrious
men, there will be no trouble in selecting
as good a police force as the city ever had.
The selections will be made to-day, and
will probably be announced tomorrow.

We are credibly informed that there IS in
the house where Cad Perkins was captured
near the old contraband camp, a consider
able quantity of beef and pork, cut up in
chunks and packed away in barrels and
boxes without the hide or the hair having
been taken OF The supposition is, that
the meat is a part of the many COWS and
hogs missing in that locality lately, and
that the negroes around there are at the
bottom Of it. At al events, it is anew and
expeditions way Of packing beef and pork,
though whether it could be classed at prime

The meeting of the stockholders and

ton of officers, which has just been held,
was very important one as affecting the
interests of the road and to all concerned.
Their protracted session Tuesday, extend

excellent business men, and one that is
every way unexceptionable Though their

The people are beginning to inquire
why tax of $3.50, 600, 900 year should
be imposed upon them, when the expen-
ses of the general government should not
be over 500, 900, 900; and $l26, 900, 900,
equal to $l66, 900, 900 in currency, should
pay the interest on the debt? This would
make 1926, 900, 900 of currency revenues
to be collected by the nation, instead of
$3.50, 900, 900 as now, a difference of
$l64, 900, 600 But this $3.50, 900, 900,
drawn from the people, is for the federal
government alone? The State and munic-
ipal tax is at least $3.50, 900, 900 more,
making some 500, O0O,0 900 of tax, the
larger part of it the fruits of folly, civil
war and bad government.
