Col. II. Amcs' Great Modern show

Col. c. II. Amcs' Great Modern show
This mammoth circus and menagerie has
exhibited in Edgefeld, and the attendan ce
at each exhibition has exceeded that of
anything in the show line that has ever
preceded it in that place. The reputation
of the proprietor has much to do with the
great success that has been extended to
his show, but independent of that, he has
consolidated an array of talent the like of
which no other institution of its kind has
ever been South. Every department is
filled with artists of world wide celebrity,
each of which is star in his or her partic-
ular sphere, and, therefore, we take espe-
cial pleasure in chronicling his great sue
cess.
The street parade made yesterday was
really magnificent, and gave an idea to the
thousands who witnessed the grand pageant
of the immense resources at the disposal
of the management, for the really first
class performances which were given: under
the sturendous tent With seating ca
pacity of A, 500, it has scarcely been suffi-
Gent to accommodate the crowds that
have sought admission.
Where everything is good, as every
thing was good in this show, it is unneces-
sary to particularize individual instances
of superiority,
The collection of wild animals which
were on exhibition was, by far, the largest
and finest that we have ever seen at any
one time. Their nativity and peculiar
habits were explained by the attentive
keepers, who are constantly in attendance
for that purpose, thus obviating the neces-
sity of listening to long and tedious lee,
ture on natural history, which, to the
majority of a show going audience, is just
so much time wasted. We have in other
exhibitions become disguised with the har-
argues by some paid attachee of the estab-
lishment, aad hence we make a note of the
fact that in Col Ames' show this ''has
been reformed altogether"

Death Of q eomposItor.

We deeply regret to hear of the death Of
Henry Nat. Myers, formerly compositor
in this Office, which occurred yesterday
morning after protracted illness. The
deceased was in the Goth year of his age,
and for more than year past has been af-
fiicted with the insidious, but certain de-
stroyer, consumption. He was a young
man of moral character and generous ma
ture, and highly respected by his fellow
craftsmen and all who knew him. The
funeral occurs at o'clock this morning at
the residence of F. NJ Allen, North Sum-
mer street, and will be attended by the
members of the Nashville Typographical
Union. -Ff@-

Unsolicited.

We mentioned in our issue of Friday
that Abram L DeMoss bad been commits
stoned by Gov Senter as Judge of the
Criminal Court. We also said, what all will
admit, that the appointment was a most
admirable one. 1t is due TO Mr. Demoss to
say that it was unsought on his part, and
that his appointment is due to the urgent
solicitations of his friends coupled with a
desire on their part and on the part of the
Governor to secure the first legal talent
and abilities to occupy the bench of the
Criminal Court until Judge should be
elected in August as the successor of the
late John Hu Smith.

FINANCE AND TRADE.

There was much activity in the gold and
stock market yesterday in New York, on
European war rumors. At first we had
dispatches from London quoting United
States bonds at decline of three cents IN
the whole list, since Saturday, and then
the opening quotation of gold in New
York at 1159. During the day there was a
decline, and it finally closed at 1l34. Our
dealers here did not seem to be inclined to
follow the advance very closely, and were
more DESTROYS to sell than to buy. We be-
Iieve none paid over 112, while they were
willing to sell at a shade under the New
York rate.

banks at par and is sold by them at 1 pre-

For sometime past varid11s articles of

Edgefeld was yesterday honored with
the first circus performance since it has
been Incorporated, and Col. Ames' grand
review took the place by storm, everybody
turning out to see the procession. From
the large crowd that paid their respects to
the show last night, it is safe to say that
Col. Ames will pitch his tent on the other
side of the river at some future time.

Another Convict Pardoncd.

Jesse Thompson, colored convict in
the State prison from Davidson county,
was pardoned Saturday by Gov. Senter.
Jesse was sentenced for two years, and by
good conduct and the deductions made in

The warden and Penitentiary officers re-
commended that he be set at liberty, which
was done.

All the members of the Legislature have

the State ''some service, up to yesterday,
the day of formal adjournment. The ses-
sion has been long one, and we presume
that each of the members feels like he has
earned his money. Since October the
body has been in session 219 days. Besides
this there were GO days of committee serv-
ice, The per diem of members was near
$97, 500, while the mileage would not be far
from $11, 800. Those two items taken in
connection with clerks services and other
incidental OUTLAWS, will place the expenses
of the Legislature, independence printing,
ETC., at not far from $112, 600. The Legis-
lature found a vast amount of work before
them when they assembled in October last,
