A Female Preacher.

Among the items of exciting interest in
colored circles hereabouts, if not the most
edifyiug incident Of present occurrence, is
the presence in the city of a colored ex-
FOUNDER of theological truths, who is not
Of the sex usually assigned to ministerial
duties. The preacher referred to is a
colored woman named Lucy Thinner, from
Pittsburgh, Pa. She has been preaching
during the past week, holding morning and
evening service at the several churches of
the colored people devoted to her way of
religious thinking. Persons who have
been present at the pulpit ministrations of
Rev. Mrs. Tillmer inform us that in their
opinion she is very good preacher and
very devout and earnest laborer in behalf
of morality and religion. Her elocution-
airy capacities are said TO be very good, her
articulation distinct, utterance sufficiently
loud, and manner earnest and impressive.
Up to the present period in this wicked
worlds history, no very considerable mum
Der Of women have felt themselves called
upon, either by occasion for such service
or higher authority, to preach from pulpits
in order to call sinners to repentance and
urge the righteous to steadfsstness in re-
ligious faith. Woman has accomplished
much in behalf Of religion, but not throus b
the medium Of pulpit defamation. But
this is progressive age, and it may be that
before another decade has gone into the
vortex of the past, active female preaching
will be Of such common occurrence as not
to make more than a passing rifle in the
great sea Of public thought. Within that
time events of even more extraordinary ma
ture than female preaching will have be-
come matters of every day occurrence.
Let us hope that female preaching, if it
must come, will do more good than harm
in extending and strengthening moral and
religious influences.

M1sbehnviOr in Church.

We we're called upon some time since to
note the rudeness of a few of the rising
generation in one or two of our churches.
In all kindness we again protest against
this dissertation of Gods holy temple,
where "all the earth" is enjoined to 'tKeep
silence before Him." 1t is the height of i'll
manners to move in and out, stamping like
some animal, whispering, tittering, writing
notes, staring at people, ETC., and exceed
ingly annoying to cultivated, refined per-
son to behold such an utter disregard of
the sanctity of the place and the feelings Of
those who attend church in true spirit of
devotion. We learn ut one of our churches
only few nights sinc9, youth, for the
amusement OF himself and comrades, took
stand OIL the vestibule of the church, as
the congregation came out, with hat on
of ridiculous proportions, and an air Of
cloWnish audacity, truly shocking at such
a place. If the young persons want to
fr0lic, let them 60 to more suitable place
for ''there is time and place for every
thing" We hope these few plain words
may prevent the authorities Of the church
referred to from recourse to stern meas
ures.

Police PickinRs.

Thirteen cases before Recorder Duling
yesterday. ~.
Emery and Eddie Vaught, two young
brothers were arrested on the charge of
having allowed their thieving fingers to
wait upon the desires of their coVetous
hearts, they being accused Of having been
engaged in pilfering about the market house
for some time. A police officer testified
that he watched their proceedings yester.
day, and found that they had large mar
ket basket concealed near by, and that they
were filing the same with all kinds OF pro-
visions, without going through the formal
ity of paying therefor. This being direct
violation of the city ordinances in such
cases made and provided, the officer grab
bled the boys, their basket and its contents,
locking the little fellows up in the Gala
bose. -s.l.
When the case was called yesterday, the
youngest of the boys began to cry when
questioned by the Court, saying that his
father is dead and that bis moth
er is so sick that she cannot get
no, In view Of this condition
of things, the Recorder was disposed to be
somewhat Isnient With the youngsters, and
upon their solemn assurance that they
would, in the future shun the marketho4se
entirely, and make radical change with
regard to their manner of obtaining a
livelihood, they were told they would be
allowed to 90 for this time, but that If they
were ever brought up again on a similar
charge, they would be severely punished.
The case Of Bud Perry, charged with
gtanding his hack in front Of the Maxwell
House, was called, bat a. the court Eas Of
the opinion that there were serious Object
tions to the ordinance relating to hacks, the
case was continued until the Mayor and
City Attorney could take some action with
relation to the matter.
Sam Dargon and John Tobias were engage
Friday in the discussion Of some impor-
tant topic, when they found themselves
differing widely in their views with respect
Thereto. Under such circumstances moth
ing remained but q Ast hght, for in 10
other way could it be definitely
ascertained which Of the two was right.
Being men of business and also possessed
of great energy Of character, they lost no
time "foolin' round" but went to work at
once and were busily engaged in pounding
each other in manner so vigorous that no
doubt a satisfactory conclusion would have
been reached in very short time, had it
not been for the fact that the City Marshal
happened to be in the immediate vicinity,
and he suddenly put stop to the desperate
engagement by marching the belligerents
off to the lock up, where they spent the
night in calm-and let us hope in prayerful
meditation. They were released from the
cooler 5esteTday norning, and when the
City Marshal told what he knew about
Dsrgan and Tobias, the Judge was so filed
with admiration Of their courage and pugiE
istic abilities that be fined them five dollars
each

Compromise ON Nashville.

We were yesterday shown a letter by the
representative Of one of our largest bust
ness houses from an old customer in Bowl
ing Green, Kentucky, saying that he would
have to discontinue purchasing here, owing
to impossibility ofgetting bis goods through
on time. Parcels shipped to him did not
arrive under ten days or two weeks. The
inability of the roads southwark to deliver
the freight thrown upon them is confessed,
and there is suspicion that the interests
of Louisville shippers are consulted before
those of our business houses. 1t is mat
ter that demands immediate investigation.

at Nashville, where goods are cheap, and

The best ROSE Of che Season.

Mrs. E. r. May, of Houston, Texas, is
engaged in canvassing our city for the pur-
pose of obtaining subscribers for a work
which is calculated TO do an immense
amount Of good: distinguished Women
by that popular authoress, Mrs. $. j. Hale.
This book, which is considered Mrs. Hale's
best, should be in the library of every resi-
dent of Nashville, and they should now
avail themselves Of an opportunity to sub
scribe for it as this may be their last Opper-
tunity. Mrs. May is lady of refnment,
who comes to us highly recommended by
the press of the country, and has peculiar
claim upon Southern people, in that she is
the widow of Confederate soldier, and
who, having lost her all during the war, is
making brave effort to support herself.
We bespeak for her the kind attention of
our citizens.

Fun for Children.

People who love children-and what
good woman or noble man does not?-
were last night delighted to see the enthu-
siasm with which numerous little boys en-
joyed their participation in the political
procession marching through the streets of
the city. As bearers of torches and tran
sparencles boys generally are very constant
and as usual thing not very particular in
what palty's behalf they perform that gra-
tuitous or thinly rewarded labor. And
then, too, for the pleasure thus afforded
them these public spirited youths are ever
ready, as manifested last night, to shout
huzzas for any and everybody regardless of
party utilization or political partialities.
Boys will be boys, and always have a won
derful knack of making themselves useful
as well as ornamental, as abundantly shown
in the demonstration of last night.

had been robbed in this city. He gave
