Making Children Drunk,

Men who have not closely investigated
the subject are apt to think the sight of
an inebriatsd woman about the most shock.
ing exhibition of human deprsvity of the
kind nowadays to be Witnessed 1t is
indeed pitiable and shocking thing to see
a woman in that condition, and more cal
culated to excite the commiseration Of a
TRUE man, than to exasperate him because
of the erring woman's misfortune. But
yet there is one other sight, now and then
to be seen in the busy and crowded city, Of
a still more sorrowful character. What man
not lost to all the better instincts Of his
nature can look without feelings of deepest
commiseration upon a boy Supplied with
whisky who has not yet reached his teens
or passed two or three years beyond
the first of that period A few
nights since at a late hour, while most
of the busy city rested in quiet slumber,
scene was transpiring at the City Hall
Police Station, which might well excite the
inquiry if additional restraint by the law
and its agents is not absolutely necessary
on this subject. In his rounds policeman
had discovered boy upon the street so
much intoxicated that he could not tell his
name or home, and was not therefore in a
L
this reason the officer took him to the
station, where inquiry disclosed the facts
that he was about ten years of age, the son
of respectable parents, and that this was
the first time he had ever been seen in that
condition. The boy happened to be re-
cognized by members of the department,
who were present, and it was thought best
to let him sleep few hours before sending
him home. At first, he wept bitterly, said
his mother would be distressed about his
absence, and piteously implored that he
might be permitted TO go. But an effort
disclosed the fact that he Bas ngt able to
walk. When somewhat restored to con-
seriousness, the erring and distressed boy
was taken home by member of the police
department. This is only one of numerous
recent occurrences of the same description
that might be mentioned, and reflection
upon the subject suggests the inquiry, From
whom do these children get whisky and
what can be done to ahate the evil? The
attention of the proper officials is respect
fully and earnestly invited to the fact that
evil disposed persons ara lately in the hab-
it of selling or giving whisky to children.
The Ubiquitous practice should and can be
promptly suppressed.

NASHVILLE AND CHATTANOOGA
RAILROAD
Meeting of Directors.

A meeting of the Directors of the Nash
Vile and Chattanooga Railroad was held
Yesterday, at the Office of the Superintend-
ent in the depot buildings Fourteen OF
the eighteen Directors constituting the
Board were present, and their deliberatiops
were quite harmonious and protracted.
Among the most important subjects pre-
scented for consideration was the submits
sion of a proposition from the Tennessee
Railroad and Coal Company to lease their
road 10 the Nashville and Chattanooga
Road. The proposition was earnestly enter
tanned and discussed, and was, without final
action, referred TO a Special Committee,
who are to report fully at the next meeting
OF the Board. Il is averred by the friends
of the proposition that such 4 combination
would tend TO cheaper the rates Of trans
E,ortation on certain commodities, and es-
pecially upon that of coal, though OF this
we are not advised The Directors also
considered several matters Of local inter
est. among which was the prevention Of
killing stock by trains in transit and the
proper liquidation of damages for the same
when such results are unavoidable. After
some deliberation the Directors determined
on Monday next TO so on an inspecting
excursion and TO thoroughly inspect tho
c ltire length Of the road in a body. Some
Enjnor topics were discussed, when lie

ment in some newspapers we take this
occasion to say that we are the attorneys
for him in the suit of the Knickerbocker

we believe that on fair settlement it
would found that said company is legally
indebted to him. We have so advised him
and fled pleas Tor him to that effect in the
United States Court in this city. II that
company has taken advantage of his pres
ence in New York to make afidavits alleg-
ing fraud on his part, and thus procuring
his arrest while the matter of his alleged
indebtedness is being investigated before
the courts here, we think the act was IN.

ITEMS IN BRIEF.

Yesterday was in all respects the most
spring-like day of the season, and therefore
very lovely. The atmosphere was warm,
the winds not too rough, and the sunshine
bright and invigorating.
1t is suggested that gentlemen who have
occasion TO patroniZe the street railroads,
carry red flags in their pockets and wave
them vigorously when they wish to get on,
as the best means of getting the attention
of the driver, especially on down grades.
W. IL Pollock, Esq, The newly APP
pointed postmaster at Springfield, Tenn,
has entered upon the duties of his Office.
Beaux of the period wear an English
froek coat, trowsers of some ribbed mate
rial, Lord Stanley scarf and lavender kid
gloves.
Market street got into a general scrape
yesterday at the hands of the scayengers.
Female loneliness was uncommonly pre-
Valent on the city promenades yesterday.
A note from A. G. Morrow, agent of the
Tennessee Confederate Orphans, informs
us that, daring their late visit to Louisville,
they realized over one thousand dollars in
money, besides receiving valuable dona-
tons in clothing, etc, from merchants.
An individual charged with obtaining
goods by fraudulent breach OF trust was
Yesterday arrested and cited TO appear for
hearing before Justice Mathews, at u
O'Clock to-day.
Somebody speaks Of an old maid o.
seventy-fve. Who ever heard Of a young
maid of that tender growth?
The vexed question Of the day-Who is
to be Postmaster? Answer hourly expect
ed from Washington.
The Policemen at night are frequently
forced to the unpleasant necessity of ar
resting female street walkers. The offend
ems would easily spare themselves and
others much trouble by walking more in
the daytime, and less in the witching
hours.
Silver change was again quite abun-
dant yesterday, and some parties grew very
tired gathering in the precious currency.
In few instances it was observed that
they took thin drink by way of variety.
