April 4, 1915, and died Jan. :, 1870; WILLIAM

died Jan. 9, 1870. Thus have passed from the the

mankind, by the hand Of most brutal assassin, to
satiate deep-seated and cultivated malice under
the most appalling circumstances, the Pillow broth

thirst for revenge when we remember as Of yester-
day the many and varied acts of noble and mag
unanimous disinterestedness Of which we, with 9TH
ers have been the grateful recipients. If obituaries
were proper as eulOges, we would ask no more
suitable example than Capt. G. A. Pillow, of the
Confederate army. When the tocsin of was
sounded true to the instincts Of his patriotic ma
ture and acting upon the teachings of his gallant
family, he went forth at once to do battle in de-
fence of his own section and people That he met
the full measure Of his friends expectations, histo-
~ amply attests. As friend, he was true and
confding; as an associate, he was entertaining and
communicable; as son, he was duttful and OBJ
servant as husband, afectionste and devoted; as
a citizen. he was useful, energetic and obliging as
a soldier, he new nothing but duty; more battle
fields than one have been watered with his blood.
Generous by nature, refined by education, and
polished by association, he infinitely above the
commonalties Of life, and was worthy, in the true
acceptation of the subroquet of soldier gentleman

frosts of fendish malice and consigned to the cold

Jeremy bidders.

Quite number of complaints have come
to our ears recently in regard to q certain
class of persons who have been playing the
game of Jeremy Diddler' upon the clever,
enterprising and accommodating landlords
and proprietors of the several hotels Of the
city. Though, with their accustomed gen
crosby and forbearance, the proprietors
themselves have foreborne togive publicity
to the impostors, we feel it incumbent to
make mention of the fact to prevents repe-
tition of similar transactions. Leaving out
other cases, one or two in point will suffice
Us examples. A short time since an indi-
vidual of rather fast proclivities registered
at one Of our hotels at T. T. Moody, and
represented himself as a man of means, and
carried with him a marriage announcement
to the effect that his better-haf was i'm
mensely rich, ETC., etc. After running a
bill of some Sl5 or $40 he decamped, for
getting to settle the bill and leaving one of
the members of the jackson Roofing Com
pany minus some seven or eight dollars, as
one of the results of his gentility. At the
same hotel another individual, calling him
self J. Cothran, perpetrated the same scaly
trick, and on the game of dead beat" left
the proprietor in arrears for over a week
| board. He registered from Bowling Green,
where it is quite certainly the impression
| he does not reside Such instances will be
calculated to put the landlords on then
| guard, and to throw a damper upon the
operations of these Jeremy Diddlers gener
! ally.

TRACKS IN THE ROCKS.
Discover,es OF a Surveyor.


Some remarkable discoveries have re-
Gently been made in Grayson county, Ky,
near Grayson Springs, one Of the most 70
mantle regions of the dark and bloody
ground. A practical surveyor has been
making extended surveys through that sec
ton, and with his fine practical and theo-
retical knowledge of surveying combines
unsurpassed attainments as a geologist.
We received some facts from him yesterday
relative to his discoveries that would puzzle
the most learned and scientific in such mat
ters. In the hard and solid limestone rock,
impervious to the wear of time as adamant
itself, are the exact and perfect tracks of
human feet much larger than the ordinary
size. These tracks are perfect in every par
ticular. The toes, heels, and length and
| breadth of the feet being imprinted with
wonderful exactness. He also discovered
in solid limestone rock, On the slope of a
high hill, twelve miles from Litchfeld,
horse, mule and colt tracks. Some Of these
| tracks showed that the animals were shed,
and others that they were not. But all
were imbedded in the rock to the depth o.
two INCHES. Some of them show that the
animals were walking, and others that they
were running. In stripping of the earth
on which timber is growing, these track
can be seen, covering an area of acres o
ground. Some of the horse tracks measure
six inches across The tracks of both tn
men and the animals are firmly imbedde'
in the rock full and clearly defined. The,
NAV have been there for centuries w
know not The Oldest citizens and earlies
settlers of that region knew of the existenc
Of many of these footprints years ago, whel
| they looked Just as they now look, bU
none eoniectured that they were so THO
until recently. The question natural
arises, in what century and by whom wer
they made? as there are no records G
even traditions indicating anything like
satisfactory solution of their origin
Are they the finty tracks of anothe
race who peopled those wilds anterior t
S the time when cultivated mind" began t

ter" Where, how and by whom wer
they made? The subject is an interestin
one, and we leave its investigation and 81

and one who possesses no ordinary a

Departure of the Orphans-An Incl
dent

The orphans after pleasant sojourn and
a number of unprecedentedly successful con-
certs in our midst, and exhibitions toward
them of that generous charity and hospi-
tality for which our citizens are so pro-
verbal, departed for their GAINESVILLE home
on the IL o'clock train yesterday, bearing
with them pleasing and unforgetful remi-
niscences of their visit to the Rock City.
The sojourn of the children here, and the
inequalities, patronage and donations, were
all that could have been expected by them
and the noble ladies having them in charge,
and are highly appreciated by both. AS
they left the City Hotel they sang a
song of parting for the gallant and vener-
able Gen. Battle, under the influence of
which the great soul of that gentleman
melted. Overlooking with feeling, his
eyes trimming with soul-dew he turned
away as they closed, saying as the orphans
smiled their blessings, Cant say any
thing" 1t was the most eloquent response
we ever heard.

Relief for the Cave city Sufferers.

On the trains of the 10Th and 2Oth, going
northward from this city, we understand
that quite liberal collections were made
from the passengers for the relief of the
sufferers at Cave City by the late storm,
the passengers from Nashville on the train
contributing with their accustomed gener-
osity and liberality. From persons living
in the region of the catastrophe with whom
we are acquainted, and with whom we con-
versed yesterday, We learn that the &C
counts which have appeared in our paper
concerning the damages and the casualties,
have in no wise been exaggerated, if even
they have been up to the reality. The sec
ton is literally one of mourning or
tribulation. Homeless and houseless many
of them are left, who one short week ago
were comfortably situated, while the loss
of life and limb has been more extensive
than reported. Relief meetings have been
held in Bowling Green, in Munfordville, in
Glasgow and in the city of Louisville and
Elizabethtown for the reliefof the sufferers,
and quite liberal contributions are being
made. Though nothing can repair the
terrible loss of life sustained by the unfore-
seen calamity, we hope that through the
energy and iberality of the citizens that
those who have lost their houses and homes
over their heads, may be, in part at least
| relieved

CAVORTING.
Texas CaitIe on ,be Hampage.


Quite an amusing and exciting scene
occurred at Waverly, on the Northwest
ern Railroad, few days since, though to
those acquainted with the long horned
bovines of the Texas prararies very char
acteristic one:
A gentleman named John R. Hill, from
this county, had driven to Waverly, about
Is fine large Texas steers, for the purpose of
fattening for beef Being brought to that
place for shipment to market at Memphis,
on an attempt to drive them into the stock
car, they became enraged and broke over
the fence, two or three of them making
good their escape. In the stampede one
became so enraged that he was perfectly
terrible-no fence was in his way-He
went over fences and palings, and into
yard and gardens, and wherever he
pleased. He seemed perfectly frantic,
alarming the citizens of the place
to a considerable extent. He made
for every one he saw, and gored one fine
animal belonging to Mr.. Hill, and had she
not been very quick would have killed her.
| He next thought he would take a drink
| at ''Cowen's," but Mr.. Cowen thinking
perhaps, his credit was not good, CLOSED
| the door; at this, Mr. Ok became so en-
ragged that he made for Mr. Governs fine
$500 horse, but missed his aim and the
horse escaped. He then made for thu
creek, which was very full, plunged head
long and headstrong into swimming waite
from an embankment about ten feet high
Seeing that their efforts to drive him wer
useless, the only thingnexttobe done was t.
kill him. At last they began to fire upon hin
with pistols, several balls striking with Lit
tie or no effect. At last Mr.. H. sent 70
Mr.. Anderson's old rifle, and at the frs
keen crack of the gun he fell to the groun

Ladies' Pearl.

The February number of volume III
of this excellent and popular magazine, ed
tied by John Shirley Ward, is upon our
table. 1t is well and ably edited, and the
present is an exceedingly interesting num-
Der. Its table of contents spread literary
banquet, at which the most cultivated
taste and adnlirer of bellies I6ttreS can regale
itself with pleasure, profit and elevated
thought. The selections are made with re-
markable, not to say with critical, good
taste, and all the original articles and con-
tributions evince a studious and we'll
stored mind, careful and general research,
and a nicely of discrimination rarely to
be met with. The articles of the editor
himself bear the unmistakable impress of his
genius. and show clearly the ink. marks of
his graceful. fluent and facile pen. From
a hasty perusal, we are much pleased with
the article entitled the ''Caverns in the
Heart. The subject is poetic one, and
is handled with analytical skill, vivid por-
traiture and mastery power. We havelaid
it aside for another perusal tomorrow.
We know of no better family monthly than

Several members explained their votes,
saving that, while in favor of such meas
urs, they we're opposed to some of the pro-
visions of the present bill, and therefore
voted ''No."
Mr.. Speaker Perkins entered motion
to reconsider the vote Just taken in order
as he said, that the bill might be referred
to the Judiciary Committee and perfected
He favored the spirit and animus of the
bill, but thought some of its provisions 50
severe that they would be imperative.

case.

Railroad TraYeI.

The travel to and from the city, and by
persons in transit, has been quite extern
sive during the last few weeks, though
there has been considerable falling off since
the earlier part of the season and the preva-
lence of holidays. Various and numerous
repairs are being made on the several rail-
roads, as regards bridges, trestles,
road beds and cars, and with the opening
up Of the spring season an unprecedentedly
large travel is looked for, and the expecta-
ton will, we have no doubt, be fully veri-
fed.

1t is no more than deserving that during
the immense throngs gathering at Masonic
Temple during the Orphans Concerts on
Wednesday and Thursday evenings, men
ton should be made of the gentlemanly
ushers and doorkeepers. Notwithstanding
the large crowds and the perfect jam, the
doorkeepers never once lost their equanim-
ity, and proved themselves fully equal to
the pressure and the emergency. Especial
credit is due to Mr.. w. T. Hazlett, one of
the gentlemanly ushers, for his successful
solicitude in seating the ladies and their
escorts, even securing chairs, and with
great difficulty adjusting them in the aisles,
for the occupants.
