Cute Robbery.

One of the negro fugitives, driven from
his home in Rutherford county, arrived in
the city a day or two ago. Yesterday he
drew his bounty money and another ne
gro who was Of lighter complexion than
the former, was present when he received
the money. They started off together and
took q drink at nearly every saloon they
came across. The fugitive, not being
used to drinking, soon became very
intoxicated. The yellow negro pro-
posed TO go "down towL" and
have some fun. Ofcourse the other negro
consented, but before starting the yellow
negro went TO drug store and purchased
bottle of laudanum and returned to the
saloon. The next place they turned up
was in sporting house in McLemore
street. The blacklist negro was SO drunk
that he concluded to go to sleep. The
other one told him be had better hide his
money, which amounted to about 500, in
some place lest some of the women
would steal it, and told him
to drink some of the contents
Of the bottle which he bought as it would
make him sleep sound. He took large
dose and soon fell asleep. The yellow
negro then possessed himself of the
money and made his exit, leaving his
oolored brother in the house alone, Who
when he awoke and found his money
missing, placed the matter in the hands
of policeman, who arrested the yellow
negro, but did not succeed in recovering
1 the money

The OPereItR.

The Masonic Hall last night was well
filed with the youth and beauty of Nash
vile, on the occasion Of the production
Of that very charming operetta. "The
Twin Sisters" The frat act openedlwith
the crowning of the May Queen, in which
the fairy forms were no less attractive than
the rich music from the corps of profess
sionals who composed the orchestra during
the evening. The Gypsy Eucsmpment in
the second act was rendered to perfection,
and aside from the many lovely faces, the
costumes werein such good taste as to make
the scene doubly attractive. During the
act, tableaux, dances, solos, solos, duets
and choruses came in turn, and the artistic
manner in which this portion of the enter
tainment was given was creditable alike TO
Professor and Madame DeCastro and their
young but graceful and talented pupils.
The third act, in which the charmin e
"Preciosa" and her accomplished twin
sister appeared to great advantage, was
enthusiastically received, and the
GROWING Of Preciosa," in the
fourth act, closed an entertain
ment which all present acknowledged to
be worthy of the liberal patronage it re-
ceived.
The operetta is to be repeated this and
tomorrow evening, and let us hope to see
az large an audience on both occasions as
assembled in Masonic Hall last night.
These entertainments are given for the
benefit of the Memorial Association, and
the cause itself appeals to the liberality Of
our citizens.

ARRAY at Clinton.

We regret to learn, says the Knoxville
Press and Herald, that Mr.. r. J. Jarnagin
was seriously injured in an ARRAY growing
out of a difficulty occasioned by the whip
ping of one of his children by young
man by the name of Stewart. We do not
know all the particulars Of the ARRAY, but
learn that upon Jarnagin's attempt to
punish young Stewart, he (SteWart) was
Joined by his father, and that they beat him
in a most shocking manner. His skull
was fractured, and he was otherwise seri-
ously injured. At last accounts his physi-
clans had hopes of his recovery, but his
condition is considered very critical.

Sad Accident.

We take the following from the Paris
Intelligencfr of yesterday:
On last Saturday evening, as The Souths
bound freight train was making the curve
near the depot, being little ahead Of
time, it stuck hand.car near the side OF
the road, tearing it to pieces and breaking
both legs and the back Of The section boss,
who wss standing on the car. After suffer
ing the agony OF death for nearly twenty
four hours he found rest in the cold arms
of death. AS soon as the accident occurred
the train stopped, Mr.. Howard, the con =
ductor, did all in his power 10 relieve the
sufferer. Howard himself was lame from
the effects of a broken leg, and as he was
getting on the train again lis foot slipped
and fell, the train running over the foot of
his sound leg, msngling it terribly, from
which all his toes except the large one had
to be amPutated. We are happy to state
he is now doing well and in fair way of
recovery.

The Cotton la. torr-A snrresf,nn

The Cotton Fac tory-A Suggestion,
Now that the amount required has been
subscribed for the building and putting
into successful operation a cotton factory
on an extended scale, we have word to
say in regard to an enterprise which
promises to be of so much benefit to Nash.
vile. That the construction of manus
factory of this description will be the
nucleus around which other establishments
OF like character will be reared is a gen.
orally admitted fact, and that The manu-
featuring and mechanical interests of Nash
vile will be materially advanced by this
important enterprise, no one can doubt.
Let US hope, then, that the stockholders
will lose no time in organizing, and com.
mencing the good work, and when the
character of bulldogs is determined upon,
and it is definitely settled what amount of
machinery is necessary, let the contract be
given out TO our home mechanics.
1t is not necessary to say, what has been
so often repeated, that Tennessee iron is the
best in the world. We need not refer TO
the fact that boiler explosion was never
known to occur where Tennessee iron was
used. We therefore insist that our home
iron be used in the mandatory of boilers,
engine and machinery, because it is not
only better, but cheaper, after transporta-
ton is paid.
Have we the mechanics to do the work
is the next consideration? The many
handsome engines built in this city since
the wa will answer the question. Where
will you find more magnificent specimen
Of mechanism than the engine which runs
one of our large -four mills? At what
other point, either North or South, can
such boilers be found as those manufaC-
tured in this city? Go through our differ
ent workshops and machine shops, and ex-
anime the variety and excellence of The
work being shipped to different parts Of
the South. Our foundries are large and
extensive, and there is nothing in that de-
partment which cannot be made Just as
well, if not better, here than any where
else.
We regard the prospective cotton factory
as a genuine home enterprise, and en-
couraged by many solely for the purpose Of
giving Nashville a grand starting point in
her future manufacturing greatness. Let
our home mechanics share in the disburse-
ments which will be necessary to place this
establishment in operation, and the money
thus expended will be as bread cast upon
the waters. 1t will enable them to increase
a capital which sooner or later will aid in
making Nashville the recognized manu-
featuring center of the South.
II this work should be awarded our
mechanics i. would not only be a
graceful and deserved compliment to
their skill and enterprise, but would
be SO gratefully appreciated as to
induce them to seek no large profits by
the undertaking, but would stimulate
them to put forth the highest efforts Of
their great skill to manufacture such ma
chinery as would be the pride and boast of
the city Of Nashville, and an enduring
monument TO their excellence, in the beauty
finish, durability and usefulness of their
work. Let it be done.
