ANECDOTE OF Plus TX.

Pope Plus has his own remedies for sick
ness. A few years ago worthy lawyer fell
dangerously Ill. His malady was the re-
suit of excessive labor for the sustenance of
a numerous family. He was a man of the
utmost probity and universally esteemed.
Plus TX. was deeply affected on learning
of her condition. One day he said to his
own physician: "DO pay a visit to poor
s.; hear he is dangerously Ill, and, if
you think proper, take him this medicine"
package.
The doctor knew the nature of the elixir
and fastened at once to visit the invalid.
BE was politely received by the wife of the
patient; but she told him that her husband
was in state Of extreme prostration and
her physician had forbidden her to admit
any visitors. ''That is quite right" an
swered her guest, shut 1 am likewise
physician, and 1 should like to judge for
myself of his situation, in order to report to
the Holy Father, by whose desire l am
here" he was then shown to the bedside
of the sick man, and having duly exam,
ined him, he said: "Couragel your case is
by DO means 80 desperate. The Holy
Father knows of your illness and is deep
ly concerned thereat." At these words
the wife of the invalid burst into tears, ex-
claiming, "My husband is suffering for over
exer.ion by his endeavors to support his
family" 'The Holy Father" resumed the
physician, smiliDgly, "has directed me to
prescribe for you this medicine, which ap-
pears to me just the remedy for the mo-
msnt." So saying he consigned the pack
ace to the patient. The envelop contained
hank notes to the amount of three hundred
scudi. $4,000. The surprise and delight of
both invalid and wife need not be de-
scribed. Suffice it to say, the medicine had
a magic effect, and in few days the lawyer
was cured. He is to-day most devoted to
the Pope, and is Q leader among the Pa
palini 80 obnoxious TO the Italian regime.

TIMEi
A Few Facts Regarding Nashville
Regulators.

Regulators.
OF course many of our citizens have no
ticed the great irregularity of time-keepers
in this city. To-day they will set their
watches with the bell at police headquarters
or the Cathedral bell, to be astonished to-
morrow at finding themselves entirely at
sea with regard TO accuracy; indeed, it is
said that the Cathedral bell was rung at IL
O'Clock one day, and shop hands sent home
to dinner an hour too early. The clock on
the Howard School building is equally ir-
regular, and the REGULATORS" of the various
jeWelry establishments fail to give perfect
satisfaction to the public at large, for the
reason that they differ considerably.
A representative Of this paper visited
number of our wstchmakers yesterday, for
the purpose Of learning where and how
these gentlemen obtained their time.
Calling upon Calhoun & Co., corner of
public square and College street, he was
told by one Of the firm that they regulate
tier large clock by means Of a sundisl on
top OF their building, together with tele.
grams received from Louisville thI ee times
q week.
CAFES & Pohlman informed our reporter
that they have experimental for a number
Of years, spending considerable money, in
tier endeaVors TO furnish the citizens of
Nashville with correct time. The reporter
found that their regulator was two minutes
faster than that of Calhoun g. Co., and
three minutes faster than the one in another
Matchmaking establishment of the city.
This firm cause an observation to be tax
en- exactly at noon each day, except in
cloudy weather, by means of Bliss tran
sit instrument, being enabled to get the
tine within q tenth Of a second. They
place the instrument On marble ledge at
tached to a south window in one Of the up
per stories Of their building, using, as q
range, white line they have had marked
on the north vail of the building occupied
b. the U. S. weather observer. This point
they found to be exactly south Of their
marble ledge, after having made a series of
o. servations at night, with the polar s'ar as
the objective point.
The observations are taken by Mr.. j. P.
Schuelibacher, who has been in the employ
Of the firm for the past sixteen years. A
ship chronometer is corrected by the obser-
vstions taken with the transit instrument,
and the Illuminated clock in the second
story Is regulated with the chronometer,
the difference between mean and
solar time having been found.
The wind vane just above the dial plate
which ornaments Messrs. Gates & Pohl-
mans building, is an apparatus of Mr..
Schuellbacher's ingenuity and mechanical
skill. Considering the various means used
by the watchmakers of the city for correct
ing their time, it viii readily be conceded
that that Of Gates & Pohlman is more likely
to be the true time, and this firm have
earned the thanks Of the community for
their efforts in this particular.

Charter of Incorporation TO The Com
pRny.

Charter OF incorporation to The Com
pany.
We mentioned some time since that an
application had been made to the Honor
able Chancery Court of Davidson county
for charter Of Incorporation By the above
named railroad Company. 1n'that applica-
ton it was shown to the court that the
Greensboro and Russellyille Railroad Com
psny is an incorporated company in the
State Of Kentucky, and has subscription
in that State of $l,1l5,000 from counties,
districts, private individuals, etc; that said
company has completed some 37s miles in
Kentucky, and the entire road in said State
is being pressed to completion at an early
day; that said company will have surplus
of some 100000 Of the first mortgage
bonds with which to assist In making its
connections in Tennessee and which is
pledged to said purpose, thus securing the
completion Of said railroad with its private
subscriptions to the Edgefeld and Kentucky
Railroad, and also to the Cumberland river.
The cause came up for final hearing on
Monday last, before his honor, E. Fl. East,
and it appearing that the terms and condi-
tons required in application had been COM
piled with, final decree was rendered,
granting said charter TO this road, for the
State of Tennessee, commencing ct its ter
minus in Kentucky, near Adairsville, and
running thence through Robertson and Da-
wilson and part Of Summer county TO the
city of Nashville.
According to the decree, said Railroad
Company is clothed with power to branch
said road in either Robertson or Davidson
counties, and to make a connection with
Nashville, with, or in connection with the
owners OF the road known as the Edgefeld
and Kentucky, Louisville and Nashville or
Cumberland and Ohio Railroads, and for
that purpose may enter into and carry out
contracts for running arrangements, or con-
solidation, or any other legitimate purpose
not in violation of the law, with the abo7e
mentioned, or any other companies.
The Court also decreed that VIM. Con-
nell, Richard B. Cbeatham, NJ. Burns,
James B. Bowling and Fred. a. French,
for Davidson county, and 10. G. Stark,
Boyd III. Chesthsm, John S. Hart, George
S. Scott and George Washington, for Rob
ertson county, be appointed commissioners
to obtain subscriptions for stock to said
company, as provided by law, and that the
capital stock Of said company in Tennessee
shall not be less than $750,000 nor more
than $5,000,000. That there shall be no
discrimination In the running of trains or
transportation of freight and passengers in
Tennessee as against that part of the road
in Kentucky, but the same is to be equal
and uniform in both States

first charge of forgery, says a Memphis
exchange of the 18th inst. 'The jury gave

Chattanooga street Railway.

The Chattanooga Times, Nov. "a, says:
"The City Council met last night and
passed a number of bills. They also
amended the Street Railway Ordinance
and passed it on final reading.
The Ordinance, IS passed, exempts moth.
ing but the road bed from taxation, in re-
turn for which the company is to keep up
the streets between the tracks. They have
the exclusive right Of way only over such
streets as they occupy.
We understand the present company viii
not build the road under this ordinsnce, but
insist on the exclusive privileges first de-
manded. We are sorry that the road Is not
to be built, but it is better to wait little
longer than to mortgage the city to any
corporation."

A Human Friend Caught and Jailsa.

Sunday week last, near Eaton, Gibson

a terrible outrage upon little white girl
aged twelve years, who at the time, was on
her way to school. Hearing of the outrage,
the neighbors offsred reward for the vii
lain's arrest, and started in search, which
proved futile. Thursday night last, Mr.. B.
II. Welch captured Givens, while hid in
Moodg's livery stable at Trenton, and the
excitement was very strong against the
brute, who was lodged in jail that night,
and carried rext day to Eaton to be iden-
