Nashville Opera House.

The attendance last night at this place Of
amusement was only fair, much to the
chagrin of all Yell-wishers of the legitimate
drama in our midst. The manager has
been at very considerable expense in refit-
ting and refurnishing the theatre, and is do
ing all in his power to render the place at
tractive, and we hope he may succeed in
his efforts, but there can be no success un-
less our people turn out and assist him.
The drama of ''The Colleen Bawn' was
the piece selected for last nights perform
ance, and right well was it produced. Mr..
Grey was at home in his representation of
the character of Miles; Bailey well sustained
the part of Hardness Cregan; Martin was
admirable as Danny Martin; Kent got
through with Kyle DAILY smoothly; BrydOn
was faultless as Father Tom, while the 9th
er male characters were very passable. The
attractive feature of the piece was the per
sonation of Ely O'Connor by Bette Grey.
She is very natural in her parts, has fine
enunciation, and sings sweetly. She was
well sustained by Miss Annie Seaman,
Maud Dawson and Miss Josie Martin.
The great spectacular drama of the Black
Crook win be brought out on Monday even
ing, and crowded houses may be looked fOi
during the week.

THE FAMINE IN PERSIA.

Later accounts from Persia represent the
devastations from the famine to be more
widely-Spread and destructive than ever
At Mesched, a town of 10000 inhabitants,
$4,000 hsEAperiShed, 10000 have fed for
their lives, and the feeble remainder have
been carried into captivity by Afghan ban
ditti. Meanwhile the shah, after the
fashion of eastern rulers, has wholly disre-
garded the suf1erings Of his subjects, and
ruthlessly left them to the wretchedness
and death which his own incapacity
has brought upon them. While
his people have been dying by
thousands under pestilenee and famine,
his royal Majesty has been taking his usual
hunting expeditions, and lived as richly and
recklessly as ever. A mob of several thou
sand starving men and women, who assem-
bled before his palace gates, conducting
themselves in very riotous manner, and
coupling his Majesty's name with opprObri-
GUS and disrespectful epithets, awoke that
worthy magistrate to a realizing sense of
the situation. He therefore issued an edict
that bread should be sold at a certain fixed
price, but as there was no bread to be bought
at any price, this was not wholly satisfactory.
After this he imprisoned the vizier of the
town, and baked the bakers in their own
ovens. And still his people are not happy.

where is He?

A few minutes before the handsome ser
enade in honor of Gen. John G. Breckin-
ridge at the Battle House last night, spec
linen of untutored humanity rushed into
the hotel cautiously, yet anxiOusly asking
''where is he'' (meaning Gen. Breckenridge,
of course.) Some one pointed to one OF
our distinguished Senators who was quietly
enjoying the contents of a political editorial
and said, "There he is" Without the form
of an introduction, the anxious solicitor OF
heroic acquaintanceship rushed up to the
Senator, grabbed his hand, and in a voice Of
tremulous welcome, expressed his pleasure
at beholding him, and the honor he felt at
meeting so great man. The Senator,
completely taken by surprise at this trans
mogrifcation of his humble identity into that
of Gen. Breckenridge, was unable to explain
the mistake of his impromptu acquaintance,
who hearing the music strike up and seeing
the senator arise Immediately joined his
friends and was heard to exclaim in merri-
est tones, I've shook hands with the Gen'ral
and told him my name-whatH Betsy Ann
and the chirun say, and what'll Squire
Smith do when l gifts home and tells them
this, etc. Eureka should be pinned TO that
mans coat, for the Senator can best appre-
ciate the lines of Pope-''Beware of all, but
most beware Of man.

.-.a the Money;
To the Editors of the Union and American:
ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 18-In yesterdays
paper you stated that President Grant has
not given dollar towards the relief of the
Chicago sufferers. Please allow me to
correct YOU. lie headed the subscription
Al washington with a cash donation of one
thousand dollars. H.V. r.
From the New York Sun (Radical) Oct Is.
President Grant has just subscribed one
thousand dollars toward the relief of the
Chicago sufferers, and the question arises
who il is that pays the money, and what is
the consideration?
About two years ago President Grant sub
scribed one thousand dollars toward the
fund for the family of that noble-hearted
hero. Gen. John A. Rawlins, then recently
deceased. 1t was afterward proved that
this sum. which was subscribed by Gen.
Grant and paid in his name, was in reality
paid BY James Fisk, Jr., and Jay Gould.
Gen. Grant pretended to give 1T and had
the reputation of giving it, but he did not
furnish cent of il; Gould and Fisk paid
the whole. while he got the glory Of iiber-
aIity toward the family of his devoted
adviser and adjutant. At that
time he was very intimate with Gould
and Fisk. In fact there is every reason TO
believe that they were engaged together in
the celebrated conspiracy to put upthe price
of gold; and it was on account of the in
innate relations thus created between them
that Fisk and Gould were willing Is pay the
money for their friend and associate. Since
then they have quarrelled, and it is certain
,hIhat Fisk and Gould have not had anything
to do with the paying of Grants thousand
dollars for Chicago. But inasmuch as his
first charitable donation of thousand
dollars was proved to be matter of false
pretences, the public viii be likely to believe
that such is the case with the present dona-
ton. Who was it that really paid this tho,i-
sand dollars

Church improvement.

For several days past the Central Baptist
Church, at the corner of South Cherry and
Elm streets, has been in the hands of arti-
sans and builders, from whom it will rapid
ly receive, upon the interior, the handsome
architectural finish contemplated in the
original design. This church edifice, at the
beginning of the war, had become an orna-
ment to our city and an honor to the Bap-
fist denomination. But the civil conflict,
and the continued occupation of the edifiee
by the military postponed the work of com
pletion. Since then the church has been
struggling heroically against an unprOpitious
tide of affairs. Signal success is fast follow
ing its efforts. During the recent capable
and effective pastorship of Rev. w. G. In
man, the church seems to have risen with
renewed strength and resources as plainly
evidenced by the vigorous prosecution of
the improvements already described. The
congregation and friends of the church in
a few weeks can felicitate themselves in the
possession of finished auditorium for re-
lgiOus services. the most capaciOus Of any
in Middle Tennessee excepting that Of tl~
First Presbyterian Church.

Argument In the Hawkins Case.
Jury Return a Verdict of Guilty.

SALT LAKE, Oct. 20.-The court was
occupied al day with the Hawkins adultery
case. The cross-examinatiOn of Mrs. Haw-
kins ELECTED nothing materially new. She
testified that Hawkins gave no reason for
taking other women for wives excepts that
she had had her day, and it was proper he
should have some one else. She said she
had borne him seven children at the time
no testimony except to prove the marriage
OF Hawkins with the second and third wife.
Gen. Maxwell spoke for the prosecution,
and assuming that the defense would rest
upon plural marriage as being part of a
religious faith, argued that polygamy was in
direct violation of both ecclesiastical and
common law Fitch concluded at a late
hour for the defense. He eontended that
Hawkins, being Mormon, had no inten-
ton of committing crime, and intention
was essential to conviction; that there was
no law against polygamy when he took his
second wife, and he could not be guilty of
adultery because he was legally married to
The woman according to the usages and
customs of the Mormon Church. United
states Attorney Baskin will sum I'D this
evening, after which the case will go to the
jury.
A number of additional fr.es for lascivi-

THE EPISCOPALIANS.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 2l.-In the Episcopal
Convention this morning, the consideration
of the amended canons on theological edu-
cation was made the special order for Mon
day night.
The Committee on Canons reported it
inexpedient to provide for the representa-
ton of minorities; against changing the
name Of this convention, and that all canons
hereafter reported and adopted shall take
effect on the 1st of January following their
adoptionr The committee requested to be
discharged from the consideration of several

may present Tie EMERGENCY OF Such auZllIa-
ries and guard against abuses.

Of Bishops announcing the committee on
religious reform in Italy.
The Ritual.

proposed canon of ritual uniformity. 4 long
debate ensued which was participated i'll by
Andrews, Fogg and DeKOven
DR.. Mead spoke against the practice of
ritualsm in churches, and its being taught
in Theological Institutions. He proposed

in 1879, be of ritual, and an insertion in
stead prohibitory. ...-..--..-.

ANOTHER RAILROAD TROUBLE.
The Tennessee and western North
Carolina RailrOad-An Investigation
Demanded.

Demanded.
From the Greeneville Sentinel, Oct. 49,
We think it high time that there should
be an investigation of the affairs of the Ten
nessee and Western North Carolina Rail
road. The President, without bond, had
many thousand dollars of State bonds placed
into bis hands, for the construction of that
road. The road Is failure. For nearly
two years no work has been done. The
thing is dead. What has become of the
bonds placed in the hands of Mr.. Simerly.
the former President? This question not
only interests the stockholders of the road
but all the taxpayers of the State who have
to meet the interest, yearly. on those bonds,
and after few years the principal.
After three years presidency Mr.. Simerly
retired. For what would have made about
three months service, and for some travel
ing expenses, he received eierel thousand
dollars, as we are informed. From the best
information we can get, after accrediting
him with all monies expended on the road
he is behind some ffty-One thousand dollars,
and we have heard that he declares his in
capability to pay over this money.
The present Directors seem to be doing
nothing; no one is demanding an account of
the stewardship of Mr.. Simerly. Is he to
be permitted just to keep this sum? If Mr..
Simerly has this fund on hand, Nhy do not
Directors answer the inquiries of the stock
holders, and repel the general belief that he
is defaulter. If he has used this fund for
private purposes and cannot repay it, he is
felon under the statute, and should meet
the penalty of the law.
We know not whether Mr.. Simerly has
or has not squandered this sum, but tre do
knOlc that 1t is time that the stockholders
and the State kIlelc; and we call upon our
Representative from Washington county,
and our Senator from the first district to
have an investigation of this matter, and if
Mr.. Simerly prove TO be defaulter, to in
struct the Attorney General of the First
Judicial Circuit TO send an Indictment
against him under section 470S of the Code,
and let justice be done.
In behalf of the stockholders of the road
we ask the present President and Directors
to make and publish report showing how
much money has been received by the off
GERS, from the beginning; and ko,c much has
been expended; and hotc it has been ex-
pended; and luhGt has become of the remain
der. We ask this; we demand this. The
honest people demand this. They have a
right to know this. They UiH knOr this.

DeCnGtrO.

DeCastro has gone and with him ''many
a glorious tlIrong of happy things" Last
night was the conclusion of his brilliant and
unusually successful engagement of week
in our city. DeCastro viii never forget his
soiourn here where he has received full
houses of the best and most fashionable
people. Last night Masonic Hall was
again crowded and jammed as on previous
evenings. BY an audience which seemed
spen-bound in wonder at his acts Of en-
chanting magic. There was mystery and
hidden character in everything that sent a
deep pervading thrill of anxious inquiry into
the minds of all present as to the manner in
which his ocular Illusions were produced.
DeCastro is a good magician; he seems
almost to laugh at the laws Of nature and
sport with the settled maxims Of science,
and while every one must acknowledge the
illusion, yet the way it is done Is mysteIi-
Gus. We know rem eSSe, but as to the chr
res sit we know not, nor could we attempt
even an opinion upon the subject. To-day
DeCasfro leaves for Huntsville, where we
trust his reception and entertainment viii
be as pleasant and profitable as here. Last
nioht Mr.. S. HOrrowitZ drew the $50, and
the man who drew the pig caused much
merriment among the audience, after being
dazzled, mystfied, and 50 highly enter
tanned.
