Our "Lady Reporter" who is very OBJ
servant furnishes us with the following
items of interest to the fashionable world:
Miss IA Z+y, said to be one OF
our most stylish ladies, has discarded the
use of Japan switches, and appeared on
the streets few days ago in her own hair,
which change is very becoming, and to he1
it adds the appearance of youth as well as
comfort.
Mis- j Ms, whose marriage is
to take place in July, has received, far in
advance of her wedding, an elegant pre-
sent in the shape of biscuit board Ii is
limited that she is to marry celebrated
butler in one Of our first class hotels.
Miss By Rs, of our city form
erly, but now of Dan Rices circus, is again
with us, looking charming and fascinating
as she did sixty-three years ago. At q
parlor entertainment last week, whisper
relative TO this being her last visit before
marriage was heard.
Dame Rumor is again coupling the
name of the clerk of coal boat with that
OF one of our most fashionable washer
women. The rumor is that the marriage
is to take place Immediately after next wash
day.
Carpet shoes are much used for evening
wear We saw pair in process of prepar-
alton for Miss Bunion, a few evenings since,
and we must say in justice to the wearer,
that if many shoes of such dimensions are
to be made, carpeting will take rise.
At tea party on Monday evening last,
middle aged lady remarked to some Of
her young friends that it was mighty hard
to tell a French dancing master from O
pastry cook, when both were dressed up
alike, and if she he'd any dancing to give
out, she preferred home talent to Dam"
anybody until pedigree was shown.

Baptist sabbath-school Picnic.

The picnic of the First Baptist Church
yesterday, as we anticipated, was well at
tended and one of the most enjoyable Of
the season. A train of two cars conveyed
the children, some 500 in number, to the
Fair grounds near Murfreesboro, and it was
as pleasant an excursion party as could be
desired Everything was life and ANNA
ton, a number of beautiful bellies and gal
liant beaux being of the party. Arriving at
the grounds, the time passed most delight
fully, The youngsters enjoyed themselves
swinging and romping about, and after
their appetites had been sharpened by a
run around of two hours, a most sumptu-
GUS repast was spread for them in Floral
Hall Another three hours was wiled
away by them in the most exhilarant eI-
ioyments, when the whistle summoned all
to ''get aboard" for home. Altogether it
was a decided success in the way of picnics,
and reflected great credit on Superintend-
ents Pohlman and Thomas and the ladies
and gentlemen comprising the corps of
teachers. All were pleased and delighted
with the excursion, and we trust that they
will live to witness many more such pleas
ant festivities

Sunday school Concert Exercises.
The community would do well to attend
the concert exercises tonight at the First
Cumberland Presbyterian Church. The
exercises throughout are highly meritori-
GUS. The songs by the children are Sc
lected from the new music book, Notes of
JOY" A prominent feature of the enter
tainment is a concert exercise by twelve
girls, entitled "The Fruits of the Spirit.
1t is fine complication of object teach
ing. On the platform is placed an
evergreen, on which nine of the
girls representing ''the various Fruits
of the Spirit" after appropriate recita-
tions hang their tablets, while the remain
ing three repeat in concert appropriate
passages from the Bible. This exercise
is peculiarly impressive, and is equal, if
not superior, to The Monument of
Truth, presented by the same school
some Tune SINCE. Inc Orpnhn prayer,
a recitation, cannot fail to thrill every
heart. The Dialogue, entitled Heaven,
is one of rare beauty, both in composition
and delivery. This will be followed with
a solo by Mr.. Motion, called 'J'he Far
Away Home of the Soul" This song has
never before been sung in Nashville, and
with its touching pathos and wierdly beau
tiful strains charms the listener, aud fills
the mind in truth, with visions aud dreams
of the golden hereafter.
We hope TO see large audience present
at the Church TO night, knowing as we
do, that all who attend, cannot fail to be
pleased and delighted.

A correspondent of the Mobile Reqists3.
has some sensible suggestions for planters
who have cotton on hand. He suggests
that there is at present only about IS. coo
bales OF cotton held in the city of New
York, and strange as it may appear, the
gamblers IN future sales have sold for future
delivery several hundred thousand bales.
OF which $4,000 to 6O,O0O are to be de-
hvered to spinners in the month of June.
The writer asks How do these men expect
to deliver $4,000 bales of cotton out of a
stock of only half that quantity in the city
of New York Why, simply by getting IN
panic in the market, without the least
foundation for it, for the purpose of forcing
the price down in the Southern ports. so
as to enable them to fill their contracts 10
the sacrifice of the planters. The factors
and planters have it completely in their
power to withhold nine-tenths of the cot
ton now in the South from sale, for one or
two months, and thus force these men who
are gambling lin futures" and selling
property months in advance which thew
don't own, to pay prices to fill their con-
tracts which will ruin the last one of them.
The spinners have very light stocks on
hand, and are relying on the purchases
they have made from these dealers in stu
lures to meet their monthly demands for
manufacturing purposes. Suppose the fac
tors and planters refuse to submit (for q
few weeks only to the present prices, then
how can the gamblers comply with their
contracts to the spinners? and in that case
what are the spinners to do? If there is
any concert Of action among the cotton fac
tors, and the planters will cease drawing
on them for awhile, SO as to better enable
them 10 hold firmly for one month, or less
time, it would have the inevitable effect to
| put cotton up or &c Q ID: and it would
have the additional effect of killingoff these
future" gamblers for long time to come,
for they would be buried so deep under the
rubbish caused by the topping fabrics they
have reared above their heads they would
not be heard of as spectators in futures"

The Crop Prospects.

The New Orleans Pjcayuae says, in re-
latlon to the crop prospects:
Advices of the past few days are gener-
ally more encourag cling. The sections OF
Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana which
have suffered from a protracted drouth
have in most localities been visited by rain,
and the cotton is now thriving. The dry
spell has not been so severe upon cotton
which had a fine start as upon that planted
later. The fields are nearly everywhere in
splendid trim, ample time having been az
forded by the absence of rain for working
them properly. 1t appears that those parts
of the country where the drouth has pre-
vailed are now in as good condition as
those that have been visited by frequent
showers, as in the latter grass has checked
the growth of the cotton. The Texas crops
are generally represented as unsurpassed
in every respect Yet it must be consid-
cred that the crop is, on the whole, very
backward indeed, and therefore subject to
all the vicissitudes of the fall; and, not
withstanding that it promises so well, with
a protracted and favorable season FIR pick
ing, such as the one of 1869-70, yet the
probabilities are entirely against a repeti-
ton of last fall, and frequent rains in Oc-
tober and November may cut off the yield
twenty-five or even fifty Q cent.

Those in Attenda nee and their
f&.,F Progress.
There are few institutions Of a public
character which so strongly appeals to the
finer feelings of our nature, as those for
the instruction of the blind. That located
in Nashville has been IN operation since
1913, with only a suspension 'f four years
during the war.
In 1862 the building in South Nashville,
which cost the State $50. 900, and which
was well ADAPTED to this purpose, was des-
troyed by order of United States officers.
The house at the corner of Church and Cedar
streets, at present occupied as an asylum,
does not belong to the State, but is rented
by trustees, and though it is comfortable
and well ventilated, its size is inadequate
to the accommodation of all who should
enjoy its benefits. Of the thirty-two pupils
now in attendance, several have to board
In private families because the dor
mitories are full. Seventy have been re-
fused admittance from want of room.
Mr.. J. NJ. Sturtevant has been Superln-
tendent of the Institute for twenty years.
Himself blind, his erect carriage, the ease
with which he traverses the streets. often
without guide, and the store of useful IN
formation shown by his conversation, Illus
trate the perfection to which the education
of the blind may be brought.
He is assisted in his lsbors by corps d
| five teachers. Instruction is given IN all
| the branches Of q common school educa-
ton. The classes we have heard read
clearly with due emphasis and observance
of the pauses They are taught to write o
plain, round hand, using soft paper and a
| lead pencil Their states and their out
line maps are ingeniously adapted to theil
misfortune. Their fancy work challenges
our admiration. They are well instructed
in music, of which they are very fond.
On recent visit four of the pupils
Misses Carrie McCloud, Belle Smith, Hat
tie LIarrimie, and Sallie Barham were
deputed by the Superintendent to enter
tain Us at the piano, and their skillful ex
ecution and sweet voices gave new
charm to the sweetest of songs, as the.
sang ''Home, sweet home" The institu
ton is well conducted and is doing much
good, and we trust it will not be grea
while before building of more capacit.
and better adopted to the necessities G
this unfortunate class of persons will b
provided.

A lively fight occurred at noon yesterday
at the saloon of w. It. Woodland, on Market

of the SELDOM and solomon Calhoon were

latter very considerably. The fightists
were arrested by Policeman Mansfield, and
