From Junius Henry Brownies Paper on Death
Most persons seem. anxious TO know if
they sre going 10 demo because they
wish to make physical preparations, but
that they may arrange their material affairs,
give final directions for the disposal Of their
effects or their remains. Again and again
have | been asked BIZ the wasted wretched
in prison, "Do you think 1 am agone case,
Doctor? I'm not afraid to die, but l want
10 know"
I have found, particularly at Salisbury,
that material comfort is the thing longed
for by the dying. In their last hour men
and women want physical res. and ease
above aught else; aud know instances IN
which the replies Of persons near their dis
solution were in such sharp contrast to IN
duiries made Of them as to become positive
y grotesque.
| was present when an acquaintance,
having been struck down IN the streets by
a falling chimney, was carried home IN a
diving state. As soon as he recovered cor
sciousness, his wife, half frantic with terror,
leaned over the sofa on which be lay, ana
said, s'Oh, my darling, do you really love
Ine?n The response was, "Yes, If you will

| words. a gentleman, long III Of wasting
| fever had reached that condition ofrestwhich
generally heralds the great transformation.
/ His betrothed who had dev0tedly nursed
him, said: dearest, do you die happy ~
81 should" was the answer, 'if that in
fernal fly wouldn't bother me-" and spoke
no more. "Wouldn't you like to see your
father? ?" inquired doting mother of her
only son as his life was ebbing fast. "Of
course 1 should, but I'd rather have my
face washed" Such words, apparently
harsh and unfeeling, come from persons of
natural sensibility and tenderness, because
in their dying hour the desire for material
comfort often crowds out every other con-
sideratiOn.

Police PEcktngs.

Business light at the PolicG Court yes
terdav morning, there being but four cases
entered.
Nancy Thompson was fined ten dollars
for using language canculated to corrupt
the morals of the youth of the city. Nancy
would have paid the fine promptly, buS oW-
inc to the fac5 of her remittances having
neen irregular of late, she happened, IN
fortunately, TO be entirely without funds'
She has engaged an ele ,ant suite OF apart
meuts at the Workhouse, expressing de-
termination to tarry at that establlshme-1
for a period.
Henry Sawyer readily acknowledge that
police courts, as well as all the other ad-
iuncts Of high state Of civilization, can
not be sustained without money, and Dc
was willing TO contribute his mite By con-
tributing the sun of five dollars. He was
interested in a little assault and battery
case. and in this way became practlcaiiy
| acnuainied with the manner in which police
courts are managed. :.
Directly across the spacious hall, immedi-
| atelv opposite the rooms set apart for the
I use of Miss Nancy Thompson, is suite ci
| anartments almost precisely similar, the
| only difference being in the style in which
! the rooms are furnished. These have been
| spoken for By Jennie Roach, young lady
| extensively knownin the city. Miss Roach
has had her sensitive feelings touched by
policeman Directing to certain
| words used by her and insisting
mon it that they were profane,
ynlgar and abusive, and she determined
Yesterday morning after consulting with

Wife heaters.

The Nashville Police Couat is peculiar in
that it is very rare thing for man charg-
ed with the offence of beating his wife to
appear therein. In Chicago and st. Louis
not week passes but there are brutes in
human form who are arrested for beating
their Sives-shose when they have sworn
TO protect and defend.
In those cities, drunken husband will
90 home at late hour in the night, very
much under the influence ofliQuor, and he
will make things lively for the wife of his
bosom by grasping her by the hair of her
head and dragging her about the room, de-
monstrating the strength and ferTency OF
his regard meanwhile by beating her about
the head and face with a stick of stove
wood, boojsck, an empty whisky bottle,
or ANYTHING else convenient. The police
are attracted by the cries of the woman,
and rush to her assistance, probably reach
ing her Just in lime to save her life. The
husband is taken into custody, and if the
womsn is not too seriously injured, she will
be notified to appear in the Police Court
the next morning to testify against the man
who had SO shamefnlly abused her, which
she at that time expresses willingness to
do. However, when the case is called in
the mOrnlng--tne WlfeS anger naVlng nao
time to cool, she either fails to appesr,
which necessitates the discharge Of the ar
rested party for want of proof, or else she
will come into court and beg and plead
with the Judge for her husbands release,
claiming that he is the most kind and con-
