A young cosmopolitan, now in this
city, a European tourist, connoisseur
of art, natural musician, qudtst lover
of elegant ladies, and worshipper of
beauty; whose head a Frenchman would
like as model for Apollo says that in
all his travels over the world-among
the French royalty and English nobility
the only beautiful woman he ever saw,
is now in this county.
Carrot VOORHEES,, country man, has a
stall i'm the Market House. He ran for
Constable across the river last March.
AIayes & Dodson have two new bug
CIV outfits, costing about 5000 apiece.
'Silvertail is still the favorite, however.
They will doubtless get many more, as
the public would patronize that many.
Whoever borrowed our copy of Prof
Safford's Geological Report will please
let us hear from it.
Kuhn d Turpin's woodwork is nearly
all done by steam now They have on
hand about 1900 pillow beams and COCO
plow handles, shaped out, and placed
away to get dry and hard. The best tim
Der in the world for the purpose is found
in the greatest abundance in Maury
county. They leave their orders at the
different saw mills throughout the coun-
ty, which are promptly filled. The
wood workmen in the shop say bad
words from morning until night when
they are working any of Tom Kittrell's
hickory. Kuhn & Turpin feed about
one hundred mouths, and are
consequently source of great bene-
fit to our city. Their buggies are as
handsome and stylish as any of North
ern make, and no doubt great deal bet
ter. Mayes & Dodson recently purchas-
ed two of their handsome buggies for
their Livery Stable. Messrs. X. d L.
tell us that the people of our county are
buying their Democratic Wagon more
extensively than any other vehicle. 1t
is quite a handsome turnout, and is not
little selfish two only concern, like
buggy. A good joke Is told about it. A
distinguished Radical official bought one
of these vehicles, but he did not know its
name.
One of the best looking young lawyers
on Lawyers Row, 1--WE say nothing ofthe
doctors, merchants, etc., is cultivating a
tree to plant in front of his office.
Uncle Tommy says Mayes d Dodson
have half dozen buggy turnouts not to
be surpassed, if equalled, in Nashville.
Mr.. +. H. Watkins, amateur ethnolo-
gist, entomologist, and ontologist, has, or
which he SAYS is neither beast, bird, nor
fish; and which Abraham Lincoln, in
issuing his proclamation, would have
been unable to say to which kingdom it
belonged. IL looks like n bat suck
ling its young.
Our friend L., that lives around the
corner, and keeps things TO make his
customers have quiet sleep when
they get too much He probably took
dose himself, the other day, and at the
suggestion of a bystandcr, applied to-
bacco juice to his peppers He was soon
seen writing in agony, with piteOIs
cries for :water! water! water' and
swearing eternal vengeance on Tom,
though not the Tom that traded him the
brick-bat, nicely wrapped in paper, for
dog meat
