THE CITY.
The Industrial Exposition Build
ing.

nc lAAPoSAllOn tuAAds
ing.
We attended an informal meeting last
night of the Board of Managers Of the
Tennessee Industrial Exposition, and had
the pleasure of getting a peep at the plan
for the building in which this great event
is to take place, or is to be holden. The
building is similar in its plan to the build
ing put up at Indianapolis, Ind, for the
great exposition of textile fabrics last
year, and which is said to have been the
largest cheapest and most appropriate
building ever erected for purposes of this
kind. The one to be put up here is to be
60 by 165 feet-in the main-with wing
on each side projecting 80 feet from the
main building, also 60 feet in width. The
building TO be 16 feet under the ewes, and
80 feet high in the centre. The roof is to
be of an oval or circular form, supported
by curved rafters, some eight feet apart,
covered with sheeting and roofing. The
structure will be held together by iron hog
chains, running across from side to side
Just under the ewes, which will be the pow
or of strength, which will hold immovable
the whole building. There will be mar
row sub-roof running the whole length,
raised two or three feet, so as to admit
heavy jet of mellow light from both sides
through vertical and continuous window,
and although there will be more or less
light admitted by windows in the sides Of
the building, still the roof windows will be
the main instruments in throwing light on
the subject, which cannot fail to be every
thing that could possibly be desired, as the
light will not only be agood one, but will
be evenly distributed throughout the entire
building. There will not be single post
in the whole structure, as this plan, while
being an economical one, does away with
all posts or other distractions. The wings
will intersect the main trunk considerably
in front of the centre, and there will be
three main entrances, the principal one
fronting on Broad street. The cost of the
bGilding when made ready for receiving
the mechanical, natural and industrial pro- |
ductions of Tennessee, will be in the |
neighborhood of $4,000. This money is |
being raised among the enterprising bust |
ness men of Nashville, who are not only |
willing, but even anxious to contribute to |
this great enterprise, not for their own |
particular benefit, but for the adj |
vancement of the development of |
our resources as State and |
this being the case, we doubt not but the |
people of Tennessee will do all that Nash |
vile asks of them, which is to put their |
shoulders to the wheel by getting together |
all the products-mechanica industrial, |
and natural, from the greatest to the small
est-of our State, and bringing or sending |
them here to be placed and kept on sxhi-
bition for twenty days, to be the observed |
of thousands of observers both of Tennes-
see and from abroad. Let Tennessee be |
shown to the world in her true light, and
her boQndless wealth of treasure be adver-
tised through this great means.

Exciting RUNAWAY.

Quite a commotion was created on
Church street near Cherry yesterday after
noon near o'clock caused by a runaway
horse that came tearing down the street at
break-neck speed with the part of buggy
attached, scattering things in every direc-
ton. The buggy was being driven near
the Chattanooga depot by the owner, Mr..
j. W. Phillips, of Alabama, when the
coupling broke, detaching the fore wheels
from the buggy and jerking Mr.. Phillips,
who held on to the reins, violently to the
ground. Mr.. P. had his broadcloth badly
despatched with mud, but was otherwise
uniDjured. The horse was stopped st
Market street, the buggy having been
pretty badly smashed to pieces.

HyTneneaI Difficulty.

On Saturday night, some time after
dark, as this reporter was sitting at his
fireside Illuminating over the mutability of
earthly things and the eventful changes
incident to repOrtCrial LIE generally, he
was reused from his cogitations by sud
den and vehement ringing Of the door
bell We started for the door, but before
we could reach it the bell again rang On
opening the door there stood before US,
full of excitement, and soaked with the
rain that was falling in torrents, a young
man who evidently meant business. Police
reports, personals and pistols, at once
flashed before our imagination. In cur
blandest tones we asked him in. He came
in, and in almost breathless agitation said:
Sir, am going to get married and L
want you to give me the license" We
told him we had no license to give. He
insisted that we were the Deputy Clerk,
for he had seen us copying the
marriage licenses at the Clerks Office
for the papers. After finally succeeding
in convincing him that We we're not the
clerk, in a crest-fallen state of mind, he
exclaimed, 'What shall do?" 1t was too
late to get into the Clerks Office, and the
knot was bound to be tied early next
morning. Here was 6 dilemma. After
thinking a few minutes, we volunteered to
accompany him to the boarding-house of
our friend, Charley Eastman. After walk
ing few squares that establishment was
reached; Charley was called out, and the
pressing business of the hour made known.
He had some blank licenses in his trunk,
one of which was duly made ont, the fee
forked over, and the prospective Benedict
sent on his way rejoicing. Sunday morn
ing the marriage service was performed,
and two more hearts were united IS one.
Long life and happiness to both.

~ VINCENT HOSPITAL.

This institution is in a more fOurishiDg
and prosperous condition than 1t has been
for some time, if not for years past. It
being the only institution of the kind in
the city, it is doing and has done a vast
deal of practical good, and may be re-
garded as the precursor of larger build
ing, and general hospital of more ex-
tended dimensions. The origination of
the st. Vincent was with private enter
prise and spirit, it having been conceived
and carried out by those scientific gentle
men having the medical department of the
University Of Nashville in charge Many
cases have been treated at the institution
of peculiar and complicated character,
while it has been the recepticle of the citys
charity patients for years past. Though
pay patients are admitted, who receive the
best of medical treatment, the hospitals not,
nor is it designed to be an institution OF
profit or a source Of pecuniary revenue.
The monies received from pay patients
are appropriated to the improvement of
the institution and the enlargement Of its
capacities of usefulness. It is in charge of
the very abiest physicians and surgeons,
and all the attaches are thoroughly quail
fed for their positions and fully UNDER
stand the duties they involve.
There are, at the present time, more
patents in the hospital than there have
been at any one time for several years,
embracing many varieties and types of dis
ease, malignant and otherwise. A large
proportion of these, too, are pay patients,
there being more of that class than have
ever been there at any one time before.
1t affords Us pleasure to note the success of
the institution, and We wish it continued
