Resolutlops ErtraordInary.

The State Senate has been in the habit
of losing no opportunity to pass resolutions
in honor of any notable visiting Nashville.
The rebel General John G. Breckenridge
and the Democratic Congressman VIM. T..
Niblack, having both been honOred at diff
ferent times by "hifalutin " resolutions,
a few days ago resolution in honor of the
Russian Grand Duke Alexis was intro
duced, it having been intimated that he
would visit Nashville. Senator Gibson,
thinking, no doubt, that this thing had
been carried to a ridiculous excess, and i'm
order to burlesque and kill off the whole
practice, offered the following resolution in
lieu of the Alexis resolution: Hr
SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION, TO DO HONOR
TO JOHN SMITH.
WHEREAS, Homage to greatness and
public worth is natural and noble i'm
impulse in every human breast and,
WHEREAS, The expression of such hon.
age is meet and proper at all times, and is
especially becoming when an illustrious
stranger visits our land; and,
WHEREAS, 1t has been heralded abroad
by ten thousand tongues that that distin-
guished and world-renowned man, John
Smith, now graces the capital of Tennes-
see by his august presence therefore,
BE IL resolved By the General assembly
Of the State Of Tennessee, That the said
John Smith be, and he is hereby cordially
welcomed with flourish of trumpets and
the roll of drums, to this mighty State /;
and that he is obsequiously invited to hold
q grand reception ceremony at the capitol,
so that all the family of Smiths and this
General Assembly may do him gracious
homage as in humble duty bound.
ResOlUed I'd, That as an exceedingly
.demonstrative mark of our infinite respect
for, and appreciation of the distinguished
Acknowledgements as well for the emf
nent virtues of his exalted private charac-
ter, as for the infinite worth of his stu
pendous public services-and i'm order that
so extraordinary an occasion may be made
as magnificent as it deserves, ten thousand
dollars in Confederate money be, and the
same is hereby appropriated out of the
plethoric treasury of our opulent State to
defray the necessary expenses Of so grand
a reception; and to purchase life size
portrait OF our august guest, so that when
he departs he may yet ever be with us.
Resolved, Sd, That the fair ladies OF
Tennessee, in waterfall and full Grecian
bend be invited to participate in their po-
lite and elegant style, in doing homage to
Mrs. Smith and all the little Smiths on
this most suspicious and happy occasion
and that the Grand Army of Tennessee
now guarding this capitol, in their striped
uniforms, be commanded to fire off and
explode all their loudest blasts, and to
make perfect volcanic hullabaloo in hon
or of SO signal and stupendous an event.
This resolution provoked such roars Of
laughter that the Alexis resolution was
Withdrawn; and thus the whole matter
ended. ..|.|

viour and Salvation, Of the reign Of Peace on

serve the Joyous holiday Who in the midst
Of mirth and gayety can fail to look back to
that olden time when " Shepherds watched
their foeks by night" and the angel came and
revealed to them the mysterious secret; when
the wise men from the East followed the star
Of Bethlehem until it came and stood over the
lowly stable within which the King Of Kings
and Lord Of Lords FIRST saw the light in his hui
man form how they instituted the custom Of
giving presents by opening their bundles and
presenting the Infant Saviour with gold,

never could have been endured BY any mere

and its ending on the Cross redeemed a ruined,
lost world, and gave US all our blessings. The
very fitness Of things show how glazing is the
iuappropriateness Of spending this hottest Of
holy-days in wild revealing and drunken slee.
While thankful delight is natural and proper,
it is Of all other times day of sObriety, aud
those who take the opportunity for "spree

In the fulness Of our own home coHforts,
with our little ones joyfully playing around US,
and friends exchanging hearty greetings, let
the Christmas season remind US Of the suffer

and poverty have driven away the light and
gladness Of the holiday; let each of us try to
bring JOY into some stricken home and send Of
the abundance Of our good cheer to those who

cold, in Sand Hin township, MARSHALL county.

twenty wears he lived in the open air without
a roof TO shelter him from the storm He was
a man Of weak mind and possessed violent
aud uugoyerDable temper About SO years
ago, whilst in a grOg-shop in this city, he
quarreled with man named Joseph Nevet,
and during the aftray, stabbed him. The wound
proved fatal, and for the crime Of murder
Smith was sentenced to the penitentiary for
10 years. At the close Of his term Of impris-
onmeut he desired to remain in prison but his
request was refused For many years be liv-
ed at the foot Of fallen tree and subsisted on
the provisions that were given to him by the
charitable When hungry he greedily de-
voured raw meat and uncooked vegetables
When clothing was geyu to him he tore it
into fragments, preferrins to be clothed in
filthy rags than in clean and decent apparel
He had sunk even below the level of the
brutes Two years ago his neigh

short time he had used it for fuel. After
wards he lived in an open field, without any
protection from the inclemeucy Of the wealth

ceptable to Charles o'Conor. Tweed was oc-
cupying his private parlor in the metropolitan

uous efforts to 6nd Recorder Hackett in order
to offer bail, but Hackett was not found and
be was kept in charge of Sheriff all night in
