SOME OF TIE RESULTS OF PoLITENEss -
Down in Wilmington, some time ago, an
old man who was very feeble was helped
across q crowded street by youth oftwenty
A month afterwards the old man died, and as
an expression of his gratitude he left the
youth forty thousand dollars. And now no
old mans life is safe in Wilmington. All
the young fellows have had their ambition
excited, and as soon as any venerable man
appears on the sidewalk half a dozen chaps
rush at him, grab him hv the coat an the
collar, and the back hair, and try to carry
him across tho street whether he wants to
20 or not. When he gets there lot more
fasten on to him and set him back again, and
then present their cards. So the old men in
Wilmington are having lively time now,
and they have to tack up tho street whenever
they 90 out for walk. Thus far very little
money has been evolved, but all the young
men study the obituary advertisements care
fully, and when they see the words Sat the
age of seventy six" or ''sixty-six," or any
where in that ueighborhood, they hurry
down to the Office of the Register Of Wills
and pore over the last testament OF the de-
ceased. All this goes to show how much
distress one inconsiderate act will cause. IT
that first old man had left us that forty thous-
and dollars this foolishness mig ght have been
revented.-lKaz Adeler,

To DEVELOP TALHNT.-Place man in q
position that will Rarfully tax him and try
him position that will often bring the
blush to his cheek and the sweat to his brow.
a position that will oyermaster him at9all
times. and cause him to rack his brain for
resources. Place him in a position like this.
But every time he trips go to his rescue; 60
not with words OF blame or censure. but 60
with mauful words of encouragement; look
him boldly in the eye. and speak them with
soul and emphasis. This is the way to make
man of boy, giant of man. If man
has pluck and talent, no matter whether ne
ever filled given position or not, put him
in it, if worthy, and he will soon not only
gill it, but outgrow it. But put one in q Pc
sition with faint heart. This is the way
to kill him. Put him in grandly with most
unmstakable confidence. Drop no caveats,
but boldly point the way, and then stand by
with a will and countenance Of a true friend
Thus try twenty men, such as have been
named, and nineteen will succeed, .-4x .,I.

Russian Sensitiveness.

The St Petersburg correspondent of the
Brcslau GazeAe writes to that journal that
the protest of certain Germans in Milwaukee
against rendering formal reception to the
Grand Duke Alexis has greatly exasperated
the imperial family of Russia. "The En-
press" he says who has ever watched with
maternal solicitude, over the progress Of her
favorite son through the United States, was
loud in denunciation ofthe boorish conduct
of her countrymea in that city, the more SO,
as it is now we'll understood here, that the
Grand Duke Alexis, during his sojourn in
Berlin last summer, WAS engaged to be mar
ried to the daughter ofope of the most dis
tinguishcd sons of Germany, the Princess
Elizabeth Louisa Frederick, eldest daughter
of Prince Frederick Charles, of Prussia
This engagement was brought about by the
joint efforts Of our Empress and of the Em-
peror William, of Germany. The wedding
will take place in.the autumn, after the return
of the Grand Duke to Europe, ...:
THE Gar, himself is also quite incensed
over the Milwaukee incident. in so much as
it gives the national press here welcome

policy of the Czar. towards the German Em,
pire The Golos hore has, in effect, already

Buckstone's very beautiful play OF
"Green Bushes" and a laughable farce con-
stituted the evenings entertainment at the
above place of amusement yesterday eve
ming. The play was rendered in credit
able manner, and in the characters of
"Miami' and Madam st. ALBERT Miss Kate
Estell was unusually powerful and effec-
tive. Her conception and execution of
these two roles was in no way inferior to
their original representative Madam Celeste.
The support given by the company was
generally good. Mesdames Gleason,
Seaman and Mani Estell were all
three most acceptable in their re-
spective representations. Mr.. Harry Crane
made ovid Murtogh" a jewel of vii
lain, Mr.. Caulfeld was correct and inter
esting as George Kennedy, and the comic
element of Mr.. Gruinidge and Jack
George, created frequent merriment by the
humorous and ever iudicious acting Of Mr..
R. johnson and G. c. Brydon. Tonight
is set apart for the benefit of Miss Mai
Estelle. This is the first appeal this
young lady has made to a Nashville au-
dience, and as she is young, good-looking
and possesses talents which greater expe-
rience will culminate in tirst-class excel
lence, the chivalry of our city should turn
out en- masse. 'Green Bushes" by re-
quest, and humorous atterpiece will con-
stitute the programme.

A Good Cash Customer ON the Market
He Makes Heavy Purchases.

On Saturday last, an individual named Morris,
who is registered from Cleveland, Tennessee,
and who claimed to be going into business at Do
yer, on the Cumberland river, took stroll
through the different wholesale houses, and re-
presented that he was a cash customer, and
wanted to purchase low down. Visiting first the
clothing house of Gordon & Rankin, he made a
heavy bill, including handsome suit which he
had kept out for the purpose of wearing while in
the city. After completing his purchase at the
above house, he went to dry
goods store, then to a hardware house,
and also to large grocery house, at all Of which
places he purchased largely. At the grocery
house he prO6ered to give check on the First
National Bank for his purchases, and upon in
duiry it was ascertained that he did not have a
cent on deposit. The goods at the different
places are all packed up ready for shipment, but
the prospects Just now are not favorable TO q
visit from the mysterious individual who is a
namesake Of our worthy Mayor.
