think there is nothing interesting in the
conduct of an audience; and yet the

he has a dull night, very curious story

with my friend Livingstone, and Mr.. Moss
pointed out to US the box-office museum.
1t was collection of articles picked up in
the theatre after the audience leaves it.
Now, you will Immediately guess what
some of those articles were. Hair-pins
and garters and pennies, you know, abound
wherever men and women congregate, and
handkerchief are always picked up in
churches and theatres. But the collecti q
included nightkeys, gold rings, faro checks,
pla ting cards, false cuIls, reticules, card
cases and tooth picks. We can even IN
derstand how these things may be dropped
occasionally. But how are we to under
stand the absence of mind which covers
the loss Of false teeth and indispensable
undertaking? There is fine pair Of low
patent-leather shoes, taken off during the
performance, because they hurt the owners
feet, evidently. But it is incompreheRsi-
BILE that be should forget to put them on
again and walk out in his stocking feet.
There is a beautiful set of false teeth on a
gold plate. Can it be that they fell 10 the
floor unobserved during the Open nouthed
Wonderment and abstraction OF the specta-
tor, or were they, too, taken out for COM
forts sake, and slipped into the folds of a
dress instead Of a pocket, and then left
behind when the owner got up? A dog
collar, too, by all ithat's odd, with % Fido -

''cold eream' and paper of brass-headed
tacks. But even this should not astonish

Violent Assault.

About half-past ten O'Clock on Monday
night last, David Daniels made furious as
sault upon John W. Lloyd, one of the
Marshals of Edgefeid. Waiting for ia
vorable opportunity, be struck the officer
on the side of the head with large stone,
inficting a serious and dangerous wound.
Throughout the night and up to O'Clock
yesterday, Mr.. Lloyd was in critical con-
ditiOn, and it was feared his injuries would
prove fatal, but after that time his condition
was improved. Daniels was arrested on
the charge of assault and battery with at
tempt to kill, and upon an examination Of
the physician as to the extent and nature
of the wounds inflicted, the prisoner was
bound over in the sum of $4,000 for trial
before the Criminal Court, and failing to
give bail was committed to Jail.

A New Use for saurlust.

The friends of temperance will not be
pleased to learn that the Commissioner of
agriculture" has suggested a new use for
sawdust. 1t is said that there is at present
an immense waste of this material, and
that it ought to be utilized to manufacture
brandy. 1t is suggested that sawdust of
pine and fir timber be mixed, and that a
compound be prepared of parts moist saw
dust, 1871 parts of water, 7 of one part
hydro-choloric acid, making 43.7 parts alto
gether. These are to be boiled under steam
pressure II hours, when it will be found
that 10 per cent. of the mass will be grape
sugar. The acid is to be neutraiized with
lime, and the mash supplied with yeast.
After 90 hours fermentation, distillatiOn
of the mash will produce 81 quarts of
brandy of so per cent. strength, and free
from any smell of turpentine. 1t is claimed
that in al probability many other woods
than pine and fr will prove even better
adapted to the production Of brandy The
patrons of this new compound would have
to be characterized as the absorbeDts of
sawdust juice.

Four hundred dogs are said to have been
killed in one district, in Knox county, since
April, and 500 has been assessed and the
assessment collected On part of the re-
mainder. The farmers are very greatly
benefited by this as formerly the boys in
that district were in the habit of hunting
through the wheat fields for rabbits and in
that way they trampled down some of the
crops. The Jackson Wing and Tribune is
out against the dogs. 1t says "Covington
has a dog law very similar to that of our
city. Let the work of killing go on
with an even pace" Another paper
says that, "Two mad dogs were killed near
Shelbyville last week" Numerous mad
dogs reported in various parts of the city,"
comes from Memphis. And in the Gains
boro Star of the Age there is heart rend-
ing account of the attack of mad dog in
Putnam county. "There has been three
seen there the past week." gays the Star.
One bit lady not far from COokeville, and
she has since became a raving maniac. One
in Cookeville was shot at by several citi-

Mrs HasLelr's EIfe of Her husband.

In the last issue of the Dyer county Pro
greSS there is very highly complimentary
notice of the 'Life and Times of Gen. Has
kelL," by his widow, the Librarian of the
State Library. 1t isksaid that she proposes
to obtain one thousand subscribers before
publishing the book, and in aid of the
scheme the Progress says this number
ought to be obtained in West Tennessee
alone. "Gen. Haskell" it adds, ''was the
pride of our section, and his name before
his death was household word. The work
is a complete chronicle of West Tennessee,
from the Florida war until Haskells death,
giving an account not only of his own ac-
ton in the military and political strifes he
was engaged in, but also of the many emf
nent men he met on both fields, and is a
book that should be in every house. Mrs.
Haskell is fit biographer of her brave and
brilliant husband"

A Mysterious Disappearance Ac-
counted fora Fearful Revelation.

Last night intelligence was received in
this city, stating that the lifeless body of a
gentleman had been found, where it was
concealed in a barrel at the Little Miami
depot Cincinnati, Monday afternoon. A
gentleman, formerly a conductor on the
Nashville & Decatur Railroad, it is stated,
has identified the corpse as that of Capt.
Sam ]. Little, who left this city some three
or more weeks ago, since which time moth
ing has been heard of him. At the time
of his departure Capt. Little had only a
small amount of money in his possession,
and as his visit was to have been of shon
duration, he did moi take any clothing save
what he wore with him. Failing to return
at the expected time, his family and friends
here have entertained most painful appre-
tensions as to his probable fate. We trust
that the above intelligence may prove I'M
true, and that Capt. Little may be restored
to his friends and the bosom of his family,
the latter Of whom are almost distracted
with grief at his continued absence.
Should it be true that his body has been
discovered as above stated, such would in
dleate that there had been dark and IN
known crime committed, but by whom and
for what purpose cannot be well ascer-
tanned.
