TENNESSEE NEWS.

Pat Rogers, charged with stabbing and
killing Fritz Lindeman at Chattanooga last
spring, has been acquitted.
At present there are Ia prisoners in the
Memphis jail. Of this number 80 are under
sentence, representing 124 years in the
Penitentiary.
Young Sneed, who shot Capt. Anderson
at Sweetwater week before last, was tried
before Justice of the Peace in that place
last Saturday for that offence and acquitted.
The Huntingdon Democrat says: The
Nashville ana Northwestern Railroad is in
better running order than ever before. 1t
is now, i'll truth, a first class road, and can
boast of as many cOnyeniences and COM
forts, as any road in the South. So much
for the present management.
Greeneville is considerably interested in
the construction of narrOw-gauge railroad,
by way of the furnaces to Paint Rock, on
the Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap and Char
lesion road. Capt. VanderhOoff, of Knox
vile has been appointed Chief Engineer,
and the surveys will be commenced at once.
There are two ways of doing it," said
Pat to himself, as he stood musing and
waiting for a job on the street corner. SIf
| save me $1,000 | must lay up me $500 a
year for twenty years, or l can put away
$50 year for two hundred years. Now,
which way will l do it?"

THE LESsEES OF THE PENITENTI.
ARK

From the Knoxville Press and Herald.
Maj. O'COnner is one of the pushing, ris-
ing men of the time. He has the full en-
ergy of dozen common men, and gener-
ally has the good sense and the good luck
to make a success of whatever enterprise
he undertakes. There is either a fortune
or a great disaster in the enterprise in which
he has embarked just now, and we are in
clined to think he has not set sail with a
view of being shipwrecked. He has had
successful experience in the character of
business he will have in hand, and We know Of
no man better fitted to carry out success
fully the contract he has undertaken. Col.
Looney is a prominent West Tenneesseean,
Of excellent personal and business charac-
ter. He commands the confidence of the
entire Memphis community. We very much
fear that while the State is to be greatly
benefited, Knoxville and Memphis will
each lose an excellent citizen. We congratUI-
late both the leasors and lessees upon the
satisfactory close of their negotiations and
trust the new arrangement may prove highly
profitable to both sides of the contract.

From the Memphis Appeal we learn that
Daniel Scribner, very respectable looking
young man, has got into trouble there by in
dulging penchant for theee-card monte.
The appeal remarks: "Mr. Scribner halls
from Nashville, and says he has had little
experience in the gambling line. A coun-
tryman, who does not wish his name to be
known complained of having lost seven
hundred dollars Friday night, and accused
Dan. of being party TO the transaction.
The Recorder fined him fifty dollars for be-
ing vag., and sent him to jail in default of
five hundred dollars for cheating" Our
Memphis cotem. is either misinformed as
to the name of the individual or his former
place of residence. Three card monte is
unknown in Nashville, and the name of
Scribner does not occur in our city directo-
nv.

SKETCH OF THE GRAND DUKE


The Grand Duke Alexis is the fourth
born but third surviving on Of the Emperor
Alexander ii. of Russia and bis Empress,
formerly Princess of Hesse. He is now in
his 22d year, having been born Jan. 2, 1850.
When the father presented himself to the
Imperial group with his som in his arms, the
Emperor Nicholas stepped forward and in
vested the infant prince with the official dig
nifty of Colonel Of the Ekatherinenbourg
regiment of infantry. In 1856 the Emperor
Alexander assembled the throne, and his cor
onation took place in Moscow. Alexis, then
six years of age, made his appearance be-
fore the assembled nobility Of the Empire
at this brilliant ceremony.
The young Prince received his early edu-
cation under the charge of Madame de Ber-
nard French lady, and Of Fraulien Ju-
lithshof, the orphan daughter of a Court
land nobleman. The lad proved a quick
scholar, and was soon not only able to read
Russian, French and German, but under
stood any conversation addressed to him in
those languages. In due time the Young
Prince was placed under the tuition Of
Profs. Turganoff and VOn Stein, the former
instructing him in mathematics and geOg-
raphy, and the latter in history, while ne
WAS taught Iil8AlSu Wy Il OCOtCu 1cHJlcIldH
named Gordon. When twelve years old he
had also acquired very fair knowledge of
English.
sWhen about II years ofage, the Grand Duke
accompanied his uncle, the Grand Duke
Constantine, on a voyage Of inspection to
Sweaborg and thus had his first experience
of the perils of seafaring life. During the
voyage there was a terrific storm of several
hours duration, but the boy-voyager was
undismayed, and no amount of persuasion
could induce him to retire to his state-rOom.
The life of a sailor had become so attractive
10 him that on returning to st. Petersburg
he anxiOusly besought his father to permit
his entering the naval service. The En-
peror, however, declined TO accede
to the request, considering his son of too
delicate a constitution to undergo the hard
ships which are incidental to life on the
ocean, but afterwards yielded so far as to
give him the position of Inspector of the
Russian war vessels stationed in the ports
of Finland. Since that time he has become
fairly enrolled in the navy of his country,
and in the capacity of First Lieutenant on
the frigate Svetlana, he visits the United
States for the first time.
1t is thought in Europe that the Grand
Duke Alexis will marry the Princess Mary
Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Prince
Frederic Charles of Prussia, and the Prin-
cess Mary of AnhOlt. 1t is probable that
their betrothal will soon be officially ar
nounced. The Princess is in her sixteenth
wear.

More PickpOckets.

An elderly gentleman with his wife, en-
route for Chicago, arrived in this city on the
4:3O a. IN. train from Chattanooga, yester-
day, and as the train entered the depot was
informed by three gentlemen on the train
that he had to change cars. Followed by
the three men, he stepped out on the coach
platform, and one Of them knocked his hat
Off accidentally on the platform, and as he
stepped off the car to pick it up, another of
the three men did it for him, and placed it
on his head, with al apology or two. Du-
ring this time some one of the
three apparently awkward yet seemingly
polite trio, jerked the old mans pocket-book
out of his pocket containing $40, and two
through tickets via Louisville for Chicago.
The three Immediately passed through the
coach in which they had been sitting and
entered the second-class car. The old gen
tleman, who is a preacher, then became
aware of his loss and made the statement
to Mr.. j. II. Morgan, carpenter at the
Nashville and Chattanooga depot, who saw
the proceedings, but thought they were
assisting him to get OFF the train. Mr.. Morgan
Immediately informed officer Martin Ker-
r;gan of the old gentieman's COM
plant and in company with Kerris
gan went into the car where he
pointed out the three men sitting on one
seat, with shawl wrapped around them.
When they eatered one Of the three men
remarked that pocket had been picked on
the train. Officer Kerrigan examined one
of the party, who had waist-belt full of
coin around him. The old gentleman by
this time had disappeared, and of course the
men were released, and suffered to depart
on the Northwestern train. The old gentle
man and his wife, it was afterwards ascer-
tanned, remained at the Louisville depot
until the O'Clock p. IN. train, having ap-
piled Ia the meantime for transportation to
Superintendent Thomas. Mr.. Morgan
thinks there were five in the party, two of
whom were well-dressed, and having a
gent9el appearance

rHE CHATTANOOGA FIRE.
Arrest Of a Man strongly Suspected
as the Hncandfarv

At Chattanooga, on Monday last, Police
man White arrested negro man giving his
name as Jake Smith, who is strongly sus-
pected as the author of the recent destruc-
tive conhagration in that city. When
searched, large gold ring was found on his
person, belonging to the Fischer Bros, and
also two keys belonging to freight ears ON
the Western and Atlantic Railroad. He
was arrested on the charge Of theft, and
unless he has been informed of the facts
since, is not aware that he is charged with
being the incendiary Of the late fire.
The Chattanooga Times says thai Jake
Smith, or Calhoun, which is his real
name, is an expert villain, which
will be readily understood when it is known
that he freed himself from his shaekles in a
few minutes after they were placed upon
him. One of the prisoners says that he has
an instrument about three inches long, with
which he sawed the springs of the clasps in
two. Though diligent search has been made
of his person twice, nothing of the kind has
been found. Mr.. White has been actively
engaged ever since the fire in ferreting out
this matter, and has left no stone untJrned
in collecting sufficient proof to insure con-
YictiOn.

Douglas Ewing, a colored individual, CON
victed at the last term Of the Criminal
Court of petty larceny, and sentenced to
the county jail for sixty days, was yesterday
pardoned by Gov. Brown, and released
from Imprisonment. He appeared very
grateful for this act of Executive clemency,
and very glad to get out, remarking that it
would be very late before he got in again.
In order that he might the more steadily
maintain his good resolve, the pardoned
man requested his attorney and the jailOr to
pray for him, and they kindly assured him
that they would do so very frequently.

is alleged, some rather rapid financial trans
actions have lately occurred, was arrested
by the police last Tuesday night, and gave
security for his appearance before the Re-

trial of the charge against bim-keeping a
gambling house-was deferred until TO-DAY,
in order that the attendance of witnesses
for the defense might be secured Mr.
Bailey was also arrested on a state ant

that gambling at this point has lately GOT to
