TRAIN BoARDED AT UNION CITY.

Express Messenger Robbed of $4,000.
We have received the partial details of an
outrageous robbery at Union City on Sun
day night last. The northern bound train
on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad had stop
ped at that point, awaiting the arrival of the
train going south. As was customary, the
conductor, engineer and brakemen left the
train and proceeded to the hotel to get
their supper. At this juncture, four I'M
known men boarded the train, one of whom
got on the engine and run it back upwards
of half mile, when two of the gang seized
Mr.. Thomas, the express messenger, and
under threats of death compelled him to
open the safe, which was robbed of up
wards Of $4,000. The robbers then made
their escape, and at this time of writing
nothing has been heard of them. 1t is
stated that these men had arrived from
Chicago during the day.

De Castro at Court.

The engagement in Nashville last week of
De Castro, the renowned magician, was in
many respects fortunate and successful
his audiences were unusually large and i'm
mensely delighted with the performance,
and the distinguished illusionist in no sim
de instance failed to accomplish the diff
cult, and in some cases seemingly impossi-
bic, feats he attempted. But for the prize
ticket feature of his entertainment, there
would have been no trouble whatever in
connection with his professional sojourn in
this city. Attorney General Caldwell, of
the Criminal Court, regarded the lottery or
prize ticket feature as violation of the law
prohibiting gaming, and was therefore I'M
der the unpleasant necessity of having De
Castro called upon to atone for that of
fence, which the latter did by contributing
portion of his wealth for the use and ben
eft of the county of Davidson. The Ma
gician, to his credit be it said, resorted to
no trick or illusion to avoid responsibility
for his acts in unknowingly violating the
law, but adjusted the matter by promptly
sheiling out 500 in the legitimate currency
of the country.

may be feeble in comparison to Senator
Thurman It is the impregnability of
the principle rather than the weakness OF
the defender in which people are inter
ested. But it is probably asking too
much of mere reporter to understand
this Question. He will naturally suppose
that the cause espoused by the most pow
erful political or Intellectual bruiser is
the right one, and will hurrah for Thur
man until some glib-spoken man appears
who is able to demolisii the Ohio orator
with IN epgram or u witty rePartee, In
the meantime, the principle is lost sight
of in the admiration for the successful
gladiator. We would recommend to the
reporter to read the speech Of Webster
referred to, but We fear he would not I'M
derstand it It is too much for him.

On Monday the ruling price was 81 Is;
and yesterday several hundred shares
changed hands at two dollars. We hear
of very little IN the other fancy stocks.

wa, thrown into momentary social inter
course with one of the editors of this
paper 1.-the best o. the group, which,

(the country editor's) old hat for a newer

for the meanest kind of rye whisky, a

and a general development of disreputa-
bic peculiarities formerly unrecognized by
the said country editor as part and parcel

admitting the facts (and We are not dis

the old saying, that We never know our

from the rapidity with which the
deplorable consequences complained of

tilted in the belief that "a taste for the
meanest kind OF whisky" rye or Bour-
bon, and a disposition Ito halt and talk
with anybody weak enough to listen to
him, as we'll as the other WEAKNESSES

editors character, of the existence of
which only himself had been previously
