BAss-Died at the residence Of R. @. Brink
ley, ESQ, ia this city, on tns 4lh inst, ELLA
BASS, wife OF Alberto Lncisa, Marquis III
Camerana.
AS Miss Bass she visited Europe in 1858
and was married in Italy 20 The Marquis dl
Camsrana In June, 1870. She returned TO her
native country anu state m ssissippD in the
fall Of lS70. Having known her for many
years, I pay this sad lest tribute TO one who
was always the same sweet friend, than
whom none was ever more loved or lamentsd
by those who knew her. Ardent in her afTec-
tiOns, and consistent in her attachments, OF
frank, cOnhdtng nature, unassuming man
nsrs, amiable depOrtm sut, and an innocent
childlike sympathy. she instantly won all
hearts to herself Youth, beauty, grace and
talent we're thine, dear friend, and with them
thou hast returned 20 the bosom OF thy
Father and thy God.
Every day a flower Is plucked from some
happy home, jewel stolen from some treas
ury OF love; We are conscious OF this, yet It Is
hard to realize that death can rob us Of those
We prize so highly, until they are gone. And
thus IL came to my heart few days ago,
when they told me she was dead-that young
sweet wife, so loved by all, as pure as the
orange blossoms that but less than ear
ago crowned her bridal brow when she stood
81 the altar beside enc whom she loved next
to her God. AS q star OF brightest purity, she
now blaEsns IN heavens Respondent dome.
How sad the fact, how melancholy the
thought that the bloom Of youth should 50
suddenly fade; vanish as the snow before
the sun, or the dew before the morning rays.
To her husband, as we drop q tear on her
grave. LET ug extend our heartfelt gvmDa-
thies Almost a stranger In a foreign land,
he is alone in this great drsaFy world, for mis-
happiness lies buried ia her grave.
But why should we mourn; her pure spirit
is with the God who gave Il, happy and nee
from earth's cares and crosses.
Softly lay the turf above her.
Gently drop the hallUwed tear;
Fit mementO 10 her uiVau,
A tribute TO her mem iry dear" "

Big Lies In Little SpaGs.-Ths Grsst OFatsr
an lsH0ramus, Cheat, an ASS
and an iB0sRdiaFy.

NEW YORK, May 9.--Wendel
Phillips spoke on the Southern ques-
tion in the Labor Convention to-day
"There still" he said, els a state o.
war in the South. Let General Grant
lay his hand on the leaders in the
SOUth-men who count their acres by
the thousands, and who are instiga-
tors in the assassinatiOns-and you
will never hear Ku-KluX again. Gap
pt8use.) Let Ku-KluX Carolina know
that the President is terribly in ear
nest, and it viii be an end to the out
RACES. In regard to carpet-baggers,
be said the South ID ignorant,
besotted, poor, and chilled by
departing barbsrism, yet they
repel NOrtherners who 90 down
with every thing they Want-brains
and money. But the sly, cunning
NOrtherner remains there TO squeeze
political power out Of those pitiful
babies. Laughter If the Northern
States have to take up arms again,
they viii stop at no Constitutional
destination or States lines, but VIII
put the South under the heel OF mii-
tary despOtism.
Referring to the official cOrruptiOns
in New York, he said that the lessons
of the cowandly ShylOcks, who dip
their hands into private fortunes, are
teaching men with bludgeOns. Next
time the BOWery boys have q riot,
they may take into their heads not TO
hang negroes to lamp posts but in
dulge in milliOnares.
A number Of women addressed the
Convention.

NEW YORK, May S.-The Tri5lAe's
Washington special says that Judge
Tabor, Fourth Auditor i'm the TreasU-
ry Department, has received a letter
from a man in Florida who says he
has claim against the United States
for labor performed in Florida, in a
navy yard, in the winter Of 1861, by
sixteen of his slaves, whose names he
gives. He has been informed that the
day has passed when any master can
collect from the United States any
money for labor done by his slaves,
but if the men themselves can prove
they performed the labor then the
claim for pay will be good.

NASHVILLE, May s.-The great
event Of the week being the man.
moth Industrial Exposition, yester-
day morning found our people, and
thousands Of persons visiting the city,
ready at the opening hour to visit the
| same. The various railroad trains
coming to the city the evening pre-
vious, from different sections of the
country, brought a large influx Of per-
sons in addition to those already here,
which sWelled the thrOng in our
city to greatest dimensions and filed
the hotels 10 repletion. The expOsi-
ton opened promptly at the hour Of
ten, showing a considerable increase
in the attendance from the day preced-
ing; and among those present there was
but one opinion expressed and that
was that the general exhibition build
ing, internal arrangements and decora-
tions, with the display Of articles on
exhibition, ETC., far surpassed the high
est expectations, proveTbial as are our
people for liberality and spirited emu
latiOn. and well known as the
managers for their unhagging en-
ergies and perseverance in making
a complete success Of whatever they
undertake. Many we're there yester-
day who were not the day previous,
and continued accessiOns may he
looked for, with increased interest
from day to day. As a prominent
and attractive addition to the interest
Of the occasion, a large quantity Of
manufactured articles, such as maChi-
merry, implements, inventions for mo-
tive power, etc, were seen in the
building yesterday. They were, too,
of the most skiIlfuI make and finish,
evidencing the rapid progress We
are making in manufactures in
our State as well as in other depart
ments Ofiudustrial pursuits. The in
terest taken in this department is
very great, showing a cOmmeIdsble
spirit Of enterprise and a determine
tion to encourage to the fullest extent
this prolific and most important OF
our resources, our future strength and
independence as a great and growing
State The various specimens, pat
terms, models Of inventions, sp-
paratus, patents, ETC., displayed
on all sides are truly very
wonderful, and develop the fact that
Southern skill and Tennessee energy
and enterprise have been surprisingly
developed during the last few years.
No one can look at this department Of
the Exposition without feeling a just
pride in our progress and advance
ment. Very many and valuable arti-
cles were received into the building
to-day, too numerous to mention. The
Exposition, thus far, surpasses the
most sanguine expectations Of friends,
and is daily growing and increasing
In interest. 1t is predicted that q
thousand viii visit the building, and
the question has already been mOoted
by the managers, as to whether they
will increase the size Of the capaciOus
building, to make room for the in
creased demand made upon it.
