The EdgefIeId Street Railroad aud
Bridge Question.


On Thursday last the committee from
the Directory Of the E1gefeld and Nash
vile Street Railroad, addressed note to
the President and Directors of the Broad
Street Company, asking upon what terms
the railroad could cross the bridge. In
response TO this application the directors
Of the bridge company held a meeting
yesterday evening at O'Clock, and ap-
pointed the executive committee composed
Of james Whitworth, Sam Pritchett and
Byrd Douglas, to confer with the commit
tee from the Street Railroad Direc-
tory. Here the matter rests, and the
committee will probably come together
to-day to consider toe question. We
hardly think there will be any trouble in
the way. The railroad ask to cross the
bridge on liberal terms, and the bridge
company being the benefited party, will,
no doubt, readily comply. BY crossing
the bridge with the cars, the bridge COM
pany will receive a revenue from a large
proportion of those who have been in the
habit of walking over free, because if lib
eral terms can be had, it IS proposed to
make the fare at snch low rate, that all
will embrace the offer OF the street rail-
road Aud then again, if the street rail-
road shall be the means Of building up
Edgefeld and increasing her population,
a fact which always after ds the building Of
street railroads, then the bridge
c1mpany will continue to be ben
Gifted as the travel increases.
We repeat therefore, what is remarked
above, that there can barely be any diff
Guilty in the way. The fsr-seeing Directory
of the Bridge Company, gentlemen distin-
guished for financial ability will not be
apt to hesitate When the privilege is offered
them of accepting a proposition that will
SO greatly enhance their own interssr, and
add to the value Of every share Of stock

A Dog of many CoIors.

A North Nashville resident who is
troubled with habitual fondness for Jokes
ofihe b lrmless kind, yesterday took il into
his head while up in the city with his IA
vorite poodle dog to paint up the aforesaid
animal in variety of brilliant colors. His
idea YVES that it would be capital joke to
so change the dogs appearance by the ap-
plicstion of paint that his wife even would
not be able to recognize the loved and
faithful poodle. So, in accordance with
this brilliant conception, our joculsr friend,
who makes some pretensions in the high
art of painting, while on his way home con-
Guided to halt at a drug store and prepare
Fido for his appearance in new role,
Obtaining the necessary material, it took
him but few moments to give the head
and shoulders of the obedient canine a
coat of fiery red, his body alternate lines
of sky blue and light green, and his
legs and tail a variety of colors,
never before represented in the history CT
the dog creation. At first the dog quietly
submitted to this somewhat extraordinary
dressing, but finally, and just when the
finishing touches were applied, concluded
that his master had certainly gone crazy,
and his only chance of escape was to run
away anu Iy W get nOne 10 Ills MISTRESS
Suddenly darling out of the store, Fido
struck ''bee line" for North Nashville,
and neither slsckened his rapid pace nor
abated his terrific yelping until reaching
his point of destination. He ere !ted con-
siderable CONSERVATION as he passed
through the streets, persons who WITH essed
the strange sight being forced to the ter
rible apprehension that hydrophobia had
broken out in some such malignant form as
was never before dreamed Of in al the
philosophy of mysterious treatises By scien-
tific men on that interesting subject But
it was at his own home thst the painted
dog made the most decided and remarka-
BILE impression. 1t was sometime before
the mistress would recognise him in his
new colors, and she had to wait until the
arrival of her husband in order to obtain
satisfactory information of the affair. The
gentleman explained the matter fully, but
could not succeed in making it appear that
it was some bad boys up town, and not
himself, who dressed up Fido in these fan
tastic colors. He has since declared that
he will never again attempt any such
pleasant surprises.

There is ''some slight suspicion" very
strongly confirmed that a single-armed in
dividual cf the black race, who is in the
habit Of asking contlibutionsfor the South
ern Methodist Church, is not exactly ''tot-
ing fair. He really represents st. Paul's
Church, South Cherry street, which be-
longs to a denomination known as the At
rioan Methodist Episcopal Church. In or
