The Night Before the Last.

A gallant young man of this city, who
rides a white horse to visit an interesting
young lady of rosy cheeks, sparkling black
eyes, ready-wit, and silvery voice living not
fifteen miles out in the country, while on a
visit, Gas usual" some few nights age, met
with rude misfortune 1t happened in
this manner: After bidding the young lady
goodbye, he went to the hat-rack,
but did not find his hat,
Not minding the weather, which was very
cold, he determined to ride home without
his hat, and with this heroic resolve, made
a rush for his noble steed which he had left
standing about hundred yards from the
house. To his great surprise and exhausted
good nature, he could not find
his Bucephalus. What was he to do?
But one course remained, and that
was the straight course home, where
he arrived about day-break the next
morning, having walked all the w. His
appearance was much changed for, in fact,
his face was wan and pale, giving him the
air ola detected man, and some say of re-
jected lover. His misfortunes were due to
a malicious rival, who, having to leave the
city in a day or two, happened to make a
visit to the same place and avenged himself
by hiding the gentleman's hat and leading
the horse back to the city. The unfortu-
nate young man has determined to no
longer act the knight before last.

Our readers should remember that the
messiah will be given tonight for the last
time this season. r. DorTnan Il Co. have
the sale of reserved seats, where diagram
of the hall can be seen.
We have never heard our amateurs in
finer music, nor ever better pleased than we
are with the "Messiah." The number Of
performers is larger too than we have had
and each one it seems has their part to per-
| form independent of the others.
We were delighted last evening with the
| rehearsal. The solos were rendered, as
might be expected from those who sing
| them, in manner UneXceptionable. 81

was despised;" "He shall feed His flock, "
s.But thou didst not leave" 80, thou that
| tellest," are the solos sung by young
ladies well known in our city as talented
amatuers. While the basso and tenore
solos are sung by Messrs. Ashford, Jackson,
MolIengaf, Anderson and others. The
chorus is composed mostly of our Church
choir singers and quite proficient in the diff
fcult strains of the "Messiah."
While we are an ardent admirer Of solos,
we are not willing to give up the chorus,
| and we believe it to be the popular music.
| The choruses in the "Messiah" are grand
! and beautiful. "All are like Sheep"
"Wortby is the Lamb" Gift up your
Heads" are among the finest, and the
"Halleluiah" we think the gem of all. With
a clear and loud introduction by the splen-
did orchestra the chorus begins '.Hallelujah,
Halleluiah," uniting in a grand chord "FOr
the Lord God OmnipOtent Reigneth."

soprano then starts up its heavenward

Join the rest in the exUtant refrain, "Halle-

and in one sublime and overwhelming burst
of praise, "Halleluiah." This We prize
above all other choruses; it lifts us towards
Heaven. With varied music of Handel,
and we might say in the performance of the
Choral Society, the only room to make a
distinction is in the mere matter of taste,
and all who hear the Messiah tonight will
bear us up in what we have said. Such
entertainments always bring out our good
citizens in large numbers, and we trust that
this one will not be an exception.

ANNUAL BURNING OF THE WHITE
DOG.

From the Syracuse IN. W journal, Jan. II.
In accordance with the custom which has
prevailed among the OnOndaga Indians
from period so remote that it is lost in a
dim myth, the tribe yesterday celebrated
the solemn sacrifice of the White Dog.
This ceremony always takes place during
the old moon, nearest to the month of Feb
ruary. 1t seems to have an astronomical
as well as a religious meaning, and one who
witnesses the ceremonies almost fancies
that he detects a trace of the Egyptian
worship of Anubis. The principal actor
yesterday was Captain George, who was the
only person present arrayed in full Indian
costume.
The dog, who was supposed to have the
sins of the whole nation cast upon him, was
perfectly white, and was strangled to death
in order to prevent the effusion of blood,
which would render the sacrifice not &C
ceptable to Ha-wah-ne-a, who is the creator
of the world, the holder of the heavens, the
maker of men and animals, and the con-
troIer Of destiny. The day preceding this
sacrifice is spent in preparation for the great
event in the history of the nation, and on
the great day the whole nation is expected
to meet at the councilhOuse.
LdIly III Tic nOIIILS large DItS dI0 DuuI,
guns discharged, and various devices en-
poyed for making a disturbance with rs
much success as is achieved by the psl5
faces on the Fourth of July. About noon
the white dog was strangled, and became
the subject Of long address from Captain
George, which, being in Onondaga, was of
course, not as well appreciated by the whites
as it might have been. After the whole
tribe had marched around the lifeless dog
three times the priest of the occasion faced
the East and very solemnly devoted the
body ofthe dog to the flames.
While the dog was burning a solemn
chant was kept up by Captain Geor-e, who
appeared to be the person most impressed
by the ceremony. Throughout his manner
was sedate and solemn, and with him it
was evidently a service ofprofound religious
significance. Although the services were
not as impressive as those of a year or two
ago, the whole was preserved by a cores
pondent of HarpeT's Weekly, who was on
the ground, assisted by Photographic views
taken by Ranger & Austen, of this city.

TRENTON, Tenn, Jan. pa special
term of the Chancery Court opens here this
week. Some days ago, one of the COM
peting candidates for Mayoralty, Maj. John
NJ. Caldwell, through bis attornies, VIM. A.
and John S. Cooper, has issued an injunc-
ton upon the successful ticket not to suffer
them indicted into Office. The main ground
of resistance is, that the voting was stopped
over thirty minutes before four, which is
insisted to be the hour set up by the charter
of the town of Trenton.
Up to this date, it is not known what

Last September German and his wife
from Sullivan, Indiana, came to Tennessee
and commenced work on a farm near LIE
banon. About two months ago two horses
belonging to the German were stolen and
he, while endesvoring to follow them up,
got lost and remained all day in a swamp,
which caused him to have typhus pneumo-
MIA. After lingering sometime he died,
leaving his wife alone and helpless in this
world. Having no means of support and
not being able to speak English, she left
what once had promised to be a comfort
able home and arrived here yesterday.
Through the kindness Of few Germans
she was furnished with lodgings for day
or two, and also provided with few dol
lars. Her object is to procure enough
money to 60 to her home in Indiana and as
she is in no condition to work, va worthy
object of charity.

Caught I'm the Act.

Charles Martin alias W. c. NJ. Harper,
was brought before Justice Baskette yes
terday, charged with horse-stealing. The
accused is the same plausible youth who
some time since was arrested on charge
of passing counterfeit money, but finally
discharged, the evidence being insufficient
to convict. Since then he has been ruraliz-
ing at Bells Bend, where he was working
in the saw-mill of Clees & Bros,
up to the time Of his last ar
rest. For some days past his employers
have suspected him of being dishonest. Sew
eral little incidents occurred which led
them to believe that it would do no harm
to watch him. On Tuesday night he was
observed to take a couple of horses from
the stable apparently with the intention of
stealing them. He was arrested and brought
to the city. Justice Baskette committed
him to jail for the further examination of
the case tomorrow.

debris in the cellar of the building destroy

watch chain, and the charred remains of his

were found fifty cent piece, several letters
and check for $500. Strange to say all
these were sound, notwithstanding they
were in the second story when the building
caught fire, and were covered up by the
falling walls, under which the fire has been
burning since Saturday. Other valuable
articles that were lost may be recovered to-
day, as the fire in the ruins is well nigh ex-

With this send wagon load of coal and
wood, which we are giving to a very worthy

your large means spare as much as the

RIVER News.

The river continues falling slowly here,
with two feet large on Harpeth Shoals.
The weather, which has been intensely
cold for several days, moderated coRsidera-
bic yesterday.
The river in front of the city was frozsn
over in several places early yesterday morn
ing, but broke and gave way about the
middle of the day. Between the railroad
and suspension bridges the gorge was COM
plets. This is the first time that we havs
had the river frozen all the way over since
1856. In 1892 occurred the greatest freeze
ever known here. In that year the ice was
several feet deep, and wagons crossed the
river for a week over the ice. Large blocks
of ice have been floating past the city for
several days, and no doubt there is a conf
plete blockade at the mouth, where an
eddy is formed by the back water from the
Ohio. The current Of the Cumberland Is
very swift, and it requires a spell Of unusu-
ally cold weather to get up respectable
freeze.
There is nothing doing here in marine
circles, and until the weather changes and
the river rises there viii be but little to re-
port under this head.

there all of his children were born, except
ing G. W. P. Gusts, Of Arlington, whose
daughter is the widow of Gen. R. E. Lee.
