TLEGANT HAIR adds charm to the plain
IL est face; but when faded, features before
agreeable lose their comelncss, and the whole

A Cheerful Home.

A single bitter word may disquiet an en-
tire family for a whole day. One surly
glance casts a gloom over the households;
while a smile, like a CLEAN of sunshine, may
light up the darkest and weariest hours
Like unexpected flowers which spring up
along our path, full of freshness, fra
GRANGE and beauty, so the kind words,
and gentle acts, and sweet dispositions, make
glad the home where peace and blessing
dwell. No matter how humble the abode,
if it be thus garnished with grace, and
sweetened with kindness and smiles, the
heart win turn longingly toward it from all
the tumults OF the world, and home, if it
be ever so homely, will be the dearest spot
beneath the circuit of the sun.
And the influences Of home perpetuate
themselves. The gentle grace of the moth
er lives in her daughter long after her head
is pillowed in the dust of death; and father
ly kindness finds its echo in the nobility and
courtesy OF sons who come TO wear his man
tie, and to fill his place; while, on the other
hand, from an unhappy, misgoverned and
disordered home, go forth persons who shall
make other homes mirerable, and perpetu-
ate the sourness and sadness, the conten-
tions and strifes, and ratings, which have
made their own early lives so wretched and
distorted.
Toward the cheerful home the children
gather "as clouds, and as doves to their
windows" while from the home which is
the abode Of discomfort and strife and
trouble, they fly forth as vUIltures to rend
their prey.
The class of men that disturb and dis
treSs the world are not those born and nur-
tured amid the hallowed influences of
Christian homes; but rather those whose
eally life has been scene of trouble and
vexation, who have started wrong in the
pilgrimage, and whose course is one of dis
aster to themselves and trouble to those
around them.

Aversion of the jams 20 Rats.

The erroneous but generally prevalent
idea that the Japanese, like the Chinese, re-
gard rats as choice food, was yesterday the
means of getting an enterprising old darkey
into an embarrassing fix and bad specula-
ton. Some of the old fellows cotempora-
ries informed him that the company of Jap
anese, just arrived in the city to give a Sc
ries of their wonderful entertainments at
Masonic Hall, came from a country where
people thought rats very delicious food, and
not having been in this land of the free
long enough to outgrOw their fondness for
such diet, were paying high prices for large,
fat rats. Induced by this information, he
set his trap, and through his own skill sue
ceeded in catching few fine specimens of
the rat tribe, and also paid twenty-five
cents each for other representatives of the
same species. These he took ina bird cage
to the hotel where the Japs stopped and
offered the collection to them at reasonable
rates. The rat catcher was very much sur
prised when informed that the Japs were
not at present devouring a great many ami
mails of that sort, and in high state of in
dignation he hurried from the place to
make gratuitous presentation of his game
to 'TTay, Blanche and Sweetheart or
any other dogs worthy of his generosity.

An UnruIy amendment"

The quiet OF the city was somewhat dis
turbed last night by the arrival of negro
who seemed to be about one-half crazy and
the other half devilish. He was captured
out on the Franklin pike, several miles
from the city, and brought in to be lodged
in jail. For day or two past he has been
visiting a number OF houses in the locality
above mentioned, and breaking up every
thing he could lay hands on, Beds have
been cut open, chairs and tables broken,
crockery-ware dispatched, and household
goods generally thrown around loose. His
conduct mad been outrageous, and he be-
came terror to the entire negro population
out that way.
A cart was used to bring him to the city,
and upon his arrival at the jail, he jumped
ont and defied everybody within reach,
threatening death and destruction TO all
who approached within striking distance.
After getting away from those who had him
in charge, he was again captured near the
corner of Cherry and Church streets, hand
cufied and taken to jail. The name of the
infatuated darkey is Tom Marsh, who says
he came from South Carolina about a week
ago. Grants late Ku-Kiux proclamation
no doubt so disturbed his peace and happi-
ness that he flew to Tennessee for relief, and
being thus ruthlessly driven from his old
home, the shock was greater than he could

Determined Resistance TO Arrest.

Two men in Texas, indicted for the crime
of murder, succeeded in getting two gentle
men of sufficient means to become their
bondsmen in the sum of $500 each, and
then fed from the State. The escaped men
made their appearance in Nashville few
days ago, as did also their bondsmen who
had followed them to Tennessee for the
purpose of capturing and taking them back
to Texas. One of the culprits was arrested
by the police here, but the other made his
escape from the city, and was followed by
his pursuers to Decherd, in Franklin county,
Tenn, near which place, he fortified himself
and made such other preparation as was ne
cessary to resist and prevent capture. He
was provided, in his fertilization with guns
ana pistols, and when his Texas securities
Iolhd ms hiding place and demanded his
surrender, he plainly told them they could
not take him without running considerable
risk of losing their own lives. They left the
pace tor short time for the nnroosn Of
S mmoning assistance or deyising some safer
means Of making the capture. Durino their
brief absence, the fugitive from Justice aban-
dOned his fortress, and nothing has since
been heard Of his whereabouts, although the
most diligent effort has been and is still be-
ing made in that direction.

On Tuesday last two gentlemen lately
from the State of Texas, called on the POI
lice department and stated that they were
expecting the arrival in this city of two
murderers, who had recently escaped from
that State, and for whose appearance they
had given $500 security each, desired as
sistance in making their arrest. Thomas
Darwin, one of the fugitives, was arrested
last night at the depot of the Nashville and
Chattanooga Railroad, upon the arrival of
a train, and placed in jail for safe keeping
until yesterday evening, when the Texas
men started with him to the scene Of his
crimes. The other fugitive escaped from
them at Decherd, as elsewhere stated, and
does not at present propose reyisiting the
Lone Star country. -

in the aggregate S1S,7S4. One Of the tracts
was purchased By w. II. Mcpherson at S16

at $40, the fifth by E. Greer at S42, and the

Memorial 70 Dickens.

We learn it is in contemplation by the
people Of England to erect monument to
commemorate the name of her cherished
and devoted son, the lamented Charles
Dickens. The great novelist does not need
memorial to keep his name green in the
hearts of his countrymen, because his name
alone stands a living monument to perpetu-
ate his fame. But doubtless the people of
Portsmouth (the birthplace of Mr.. Dickens)
feel just pride in doing honor to their il
lustrious son, and well they might. An
English paper says: Portsmouth has, how
ever, the very best right to couple the name
of Charles Dickens perpetually with its
own, and to do the town Immortal honor in
keeping his memory green in the spot which
was his birthplace"
