Another Good Man Gone.

We are deeply panied to hear of the sud
den death, after short illness, OF Maj.
John H. Bills, of Bolivar, Tenn, on last
Thursday. in the I'D year of his age. He
was born in North Carolina, and in early
boyhood he came with his parents to Maury
county, and settled near Columbia, Tenn.
In early manhood he went to West Tennes-
see, and settled, as a surveyor, at Bolivar,
in Hardeman county, where he married a
Miss Mcneil, and reared family of six
children. He engaged in the mercantile
business, and vas very successful up to the
beginning of the late war, sinc6 which time
he has been looking after and enjoying his
fortune, and dispensing happiness to all
around him. In his early struggles and
business efforts he had for his cOmpeers and
fast friends such men as Col. Peter Miller,
Maj. E. P. Mcneil, Hon. Austin Miller,
and others, who were also early settlers there,
and successful merchants and business men.
Mai. Bills was a man of fine, solid judg-
ment, excellent talents, and the first order OF
business tact and energy; man OF great
public spirit, social and eminently amiable,
intelligent and always interesting in con-
versation. He was admired and beloved by
all with whom he associated. He was a
Mason of high order, a worthy and chairs
table member, dispensing true light, and
setting a noble example of a true man and
upright Mason. We feel how inadequate
we are TO give even an outline of the excel
lent traits that adorned the life and charac-
ter of one of Tennessee's best citizens, one,
too, whom we reioiced to regard as one OF
our best friends. We tender to his family
and friends our sincere sympathy and con-
dolence in their affective bereavement.

NAsHvILLEOPEBA HOUSE.
Complimentary Benefit 10 Mr.. and
Mrs. GREY.

MIS-. UEeys
A few days ago, the Senators and Repre-
sentatives addressed letter to Mr.. and
Mrs. Grey, rendering them a complimenta-
ry benefit to take place at whatever time
designated by the benefciaries. The letter
was signed by nearly every member of the
Legislature.
Upon receiving this tender OF a benefit,
Mr.. Grey replied as follows:

from grave to gay and comprehend strictly
legitimate performance.
"Per Fds ct Nefds," / am resolved to
conduct my theatre in such manner, as to
secure the patronage of the refined and in
tellectual, for they have always been the
best and most influential supporters of the
Drama, and the fact of my having your
fattering cooperation, assures me that my
efforts will be successful. With heart too
full to give utterance in words, for the I'M
expected compliment you have paid myself
and wife in rendering this benefit, remain
yours very respectfully, GEO. S. GREY.

The Annlverssry Of Swiss Liberty.

The five hundred and sixty-fourh ami
versary Of the declaration of independence
by the Swiss government from Austrian
tyranny was appropriately celebrated by the
Swiss inhabitants of this city, at Turner
Hall, Friday night. The stage was beauti-
fully decorated. On the right was a silk
flag having heavy white fringe borders, pre-
Sented to the Turner Club on the 4th of
July, 1857, at COckrill's Spring, near this
CITY, by twelve young ladies, Of which num-
be- there were four representing each the
nationality of America, Germany and
Switzerland. The flag is said to have
cost $40, and on one side is the American
FLAG, while the other has the American eagle
bearing the coat of arms OF America and
Switzerland, under which is 1916 and 1907,
the one beingthe birth day of American and
the other the birth day of Swedish liberty
On the left of the stage was the German
flag of the three bars, black, white and red,
the same now used after it had became a
united Empire. The back Ofthe stage was
ornamented with two American flags and
that of Switzerland, which has red field
and white cross. The music by the string
band of the 10th regiment was excellent,
consisting of selections from the various
operas, among which We recognized La
File du Regiment of Donizetti, Bohemian
Girl, by Bale, March from the Opera of
Norma, Prince Imperial Quadrille and Roy
al Horse Quadrile. The entertainment
commenced with the singing of the Turner
March by the Turner Glee Club, next dane
ing, after which the company retired up
stars-some said to supper-we saw none
and after that Mr.. John c. Fehr delivered
an address, in which he briefly reviewed
the origin and historic events that led to
the cause of the revolution-s'how a
brave band five hundred and sixtv-four
years ago took solemn oath to be free as
their fathers were, and how the thirty-three
members from the three cantons of Chevy,
IRE and Underwalden had met at Ruelte
and framed the declaration of independence,
etc" In his address he touched upon re-
publicaniSm and showed how it had been
preserved from the time of Switzerland, the
Oldest and smallest republic in the world, to
the present day of the United States, the
youngest and largest republic in the uni
verse.
After his speech one Of the favorite Ger
man national songs was sung by the Glee
Club, and The dancing resumed and con-
tinusd until lata hour.

The Medical Society.

At meeting of the Medical Society last
evening, VIM. c. Dake, the essayist, read
an interesting essay on "The Higher Aims
of Medical Progression" 1t had been
carefully prepared, was clearly and forcibly
delivered, and reflected much credit on its
promising young author as an orator OF I'M
usual depth and brilliancy. For him an
honorable and successful future is promised.
The question ''whether woman should be
admitted to the practice of medicine, " was
decided in the negative, after protracted
discussion by Messrs. j. L. Jones, Matlock,
Limbaugh, Head, Reeve and HALEY on the
affirmative, and Messrs. s. d. Cousins,
Haywood, Long Clay, Hodge, Smith and
Moody on the negative. The question for

quietly and HumaneIy Done.

In clearing the market place after 4
O'Clock yesterday afternoon of citizens and
vendors, in accordance with recent act of
the City Council, the police and officers Of
that institution, to their credit be it said,
were as quiet and considerable as the duty
required at their hands would possibly per-
init. Their work was done without any
unwarranted roughness, and limo case that
we heard of was a club or pistol used to
terrify the hungry multitude. We mention
the circumstance as highly creditable to the
conduct of officers charged with the perfor-
nance of very unpleasant duty.

A PrOfifIess Experiment.

A few nights since negro man named
Jesse Haywood, so far forgot the require
ments Of good citizenship az 70 conclude
that he would make a burglarious attac ok
upon the residence of Col. A. S. COlyar,
which he accordingly did, and succeeded in
getting away with some clothing and other
articles of value. But like many others
who commit crime, HaywOod's capacity for
c9pcealing traces thereof was rather slim,
in consequence of which fact ne was yester-
day arrested by Policeman Allison and sent
to the workhouse for present sac Eeeping
Tomorrow he viii have an opportunity, II
possible, of establishing his innocence to
the satisfaction of some acting Justice OF
the Peace, Otherwise, the charge against
the accused goes over to the Criminal
Court.

Large shipment of Frut. Tree.

Since the opening of the present season,
MesSrs. Truett Sons & Morgan, of the
RoSedale Nurseries, have shipped south up
wards of one hundred thousand fruit trees.
This is healthy indication, and shows a
disposition on the part of cur people to give
more attention than formerly to the cult
walton of fruit. The man who is imposes
sion of large and fourishing orchard has
a fortune. Let the good work go on until
every spare acre of land in the South is
covered with fruit trees.

Nashville Opera H ouse.

There was large attendance last night
at the Theater to witness the last Of Cagli-
astTo, which was produced with better eff,
feet than on any previous evening. After a
weeks retirement, Mrs. Davidson, the ia,
vOFite and graceful actress, appeared as An
META, which character was well personated
though in the would-be suicide we did not
recognize the bold, queenly woman as she
appears in casts of a more hautem
nature. Tomorrow night East Lynne will
be presented.

A SMALL STEAM PUMP
to force water up 70 the tanks on the top,
which are used in case of fire, and for sup
plying il to the various floors of the factory,
independent of other fire and boiler pumps.
It Is unique piece of Workmanship, and Is
known as the earle Pump" made in Nor
walk, Connecticut. Going up pair of steps
Immediately to the left of the boilers, we go
into another room, where is located a
4O-horse power engine, used for the
MACHINE SHOP,
Situated in rear of the main building
and at right angle with the boiler rooms.
This is noiseless engine, having fly
wheel u feet and IL inch band diameter,
a cylinder Of Is inch diameter with 20 inch
stroke, making one hundred revolutions per
minute. This engine is well made and
equal to those made elsewhere, having been
manufactured by John B. Romans, of this
city, at his foundry No. "a South Cherry
street. In the machine shop all the repair
ing and carpenters work is done by means
of improved aud first-class machinery. 1t
contains a surface and planning machine
made by Powell, Davis Il Pointer, of Phil
adelphia; the carpenters work is done on it.
This machine acts well and does its work
quickly without arrangement. Besides
there are two regular lathes, both for iron
and wood work, by the Ames Manufactur-
ing Company Of Chicopee, Mass, beside a
regular index machine used to
make small gearing and eogs Of every pat
tern,the first of the kind probably ever man
ufactured In the city. There are two circu-
lars saws, one "trip" and the othera ''cut-
off" using from to a s1oinch blade on
the axle for the former and a 14-inch for the
latter. Four men will be employed regular
ly all the time in this department. The
machinery in the shop can be worked either
by its own engine or by the large double
engine used for the factory.
FIRE ARRANGEMENTS.
In this machine shop is stationary fire
engine of 3aa-inch cylinder, worked by the
small engine, and that turns the machinery
in the shop, under the floor of which is a
large cistern supplied with water from the
city reservoir. The engine has direct and
immediate suction through the cylinder,
which has pumping power Of
four hundred gallons per minute,
being speeded for 800. The engine has
two discharges to plugs outside OF the build
ing where the hose are articulated. There
is another fire engine, worked by the double
engine, occupying position under the main
building, so as to throw water in all parts Of
the building by hose having a connection
either under or above ground. At present
there is only 400 feet of hose, though enough
will soon be placed on every floor of the
building to deluge it in case of fire.
The factory will commence the weaving
of cloth by Tuesday next, and the rest of
the machinery placed in position as soon as
it arrives from the North, where it was
made according to the order of Mr.. VIM. B.
Tabor, who has spent his life in business of
this kind, and assures us that the enterprise
will be successful

The city Attorney Bill.

Mayor Morris having attached his official
signature TO the measure lately enacted by
the City Council, creating the office of City
Attorney, it is now vested with the authori-
ty of law. The bill was not entirely free Of
features recognized by the Mayor as objec-
tionable, but realizing the early selection OF
a competent and trustworthy City Attorney
as of vital importance to the interests of the
city, Mayor Morris signs the bill in its pres
ent form in order to prevent unnecessary
delay. The election will be made by the
City Council, probably at their first meeting
in December. There is hardly any need to
apprehend a scarcity of candidates.

A friend, citizen of this place, writing
us from Pine Bluff, Ark, says: Il" Cotton
has accumulated at this point, much to the
discontinue Of buyers, on account Of low
waters. We now have fine river, over 10
or u feet rise, which, it is hoped, will carry
out the cotton ready for shipping. 1t is
selling here from - to 163 cents, according
to grade. The crop is less than twO-thirds
OF last years production. Both in area
and yield per acre, there is large deficien-
cy compared with last season."

A few NIGHTS since a body of unk

worthy citizen OF Hadensville, KY, and

had no money, and they left, being evidently
displeased with Smiths refusal. Two hou-e
