The Counterfeit Money Man Captured.

Some months since, says the Memphis
appeal Of the 25th, a man with his wife
stopped at the WOrsham House for a day.
They lad arrived here by river, and evinced
an inclination 20 remain if a suitable house
could be purchased or rented in which to
! carry on a grocery. The man and his wife
employed a spring wagon to drive around
the city in search Of the desired shanty, but
failed to find it. In the course of their
travels they visited BTeartOn's grocery store
in Chelsea and had a drink. Some time
after leaving, a pOcketbOOk was found upon
the counter containing eight bills of the de-
nomination Of one hundred dollars each. A
few days afterWard the pOcketboOk and its
contents passed into the hands of Capt.
Athy, Chief of Police, who made every eff
fort to have the owner of the lost money
found, but without avail, for the man had
started away that evening without inguiring
for his treasure. 1t was some of those
notes that were stolen from the Chiefs safe
by the burglars, and were subsequently
found upon the person of Doc Wright, alias
Ransome. Captain Athy even advertised
in st. Louis and New Orleans papers to find
the owne., Cor he was at that time under
the impression the IlO2cy was good. After
ward he had occasion 10 snow them to
banker in the city, who pronounced them
bogus. SINCE the day the Captain found
out the nature of tbs money be has been
ferreting out the owner. He succeeded, and
Yesterday arrived in the city with bis man,

A. Pigue, N. B. Pitcher, Dr.. W. p. Jones

location of such an institution in the capt.
tai of Tennessee, and we hope the commit
tee will meet with a liberal response from
the citizens generally. This is not move
ment for the benefit of the Baptist Church,
but every other denomination is interested
to a large extent in the location here Of
that institution. Everything tending to
make Nashville a noted religious centre is
of mutual benefit to all the churches in a
religious point of view, not to say anything
Of the importance of such an enterprise in
adding 10 the prosperity Of the city at Large.

ABOUT CATS.
Educated FeIines Of Nashville

Mark Twain has lectured philosophy
about cats, and old maids have always
shown Partially for the feline tribe. Nash
vile, the summit city of the South. not only
is wealthy in the number of hogs and lazy
hackmen that loaf about hotel entrances to
the great annoyance of citizens, especially
those of strange aspect, or in any manner
resembling the Arkansas traveller" but
also has countless dogs whose sentinel
growl S heard at night, and divers cats
whose disCordant strains, when on
an enthusiastic serenade, has a far
different effect upon the slumber wreathed
dream Of modest maid or the love nursed
revelie of languid youth, than the melody
of starlight serenaders."
Despite the prejudice many have against
cats, these ungrateful pets of old maids are
more generally patrOnized in the domestic
circles ofour city than is generally supposed.
A young lady friend of ours who is not an
old maid nor will ever be, provided our
feelings are-well-respected, has three ed
ucated cats, whose trained instincts render
them interesting animals. One Of these
cats " n, when she hears the door bell ring,
run to tie room Of the young lady, and in
dulCe in various gymnastics, such as arching
its back and turning sOmersaults, apparently
expressing knowledge of the enjoyments she
must feel upon ''reCeiving a call" Upon
one occasion the young lady went driving
and the cat followed the buggy as far as the
outskirts of the city when it was invited to
and gwen a seat in the vehicle. One Of the
other cats, William Warden, awakes his
mistress at a certain hOur-betOre ten o.
clOcll--every morBing and it is dangerous
for a servant or any member of the family
to enter the room before this time. When
a lady calls and William sees her, he i'm
mediately goes in search Of his mistress,
bouncing upstairs and through every
room until he finds her, when be seiz6s her
dress with his teeth. Should a gentleman
call this cat finds his mistress and makes
such known by mewing only. The third
cat which is much younger than the rest
takes great interest in music and goes into
various antics when any one plays on
the piano. When there is vocal
music this cat very often Frances about the
floor, and occasionally Joins in the chorus.
Being rather hyperchOndriac, this sat likes
mOurnful music, the sad strains of which
usually cause the animal to crouch on the
floor, where it remains as if in deep sympa-
thy with the melody. The principal and
certainly the most useful, if not beau tiful,
habit Of these cats is catching mice and
chasing rats. Their owner resides on North
Summer street, and it is said tie cats came
from Spain.
If you want some -four that will keep
your wife in a good humor, go to Terrass
& Yarbrough's.

noted, there is another point which makes
it highly desirable that this relief should oc-
cur, and that is the danger of the grain in
store becoming heated when the warehouses
are full 10 the brim. Already fears have
been expressed that the grain would not
keep in condition until it could be moved
out. So far as known, there is at present
no ground for these fears, but there is little
doubt that if the warehouses be kept choked
for a month or two longer there will be a
cry of heated grain raised in Chicago as
loud and as persistent as in any yearof our
mast history

alteration arose between young man

After the adjournment of the club the dis

twice in the hand and Perkins once in the

Clap-tTap and Cant.-Invalid reader, if
you are unWise enough to put yourself out
side of any of the mock tOnics guaranteed
to contain "nO diffusive stimulant," you

tute of stimulating properties, is worthy

Plantation Bitters, the most wholesome in
vigorant in the world, owes the rapidly
with which it relieves the disOrdered stOm-
ach and the shattered nerves to the dif'U-
sivC agent which conveys its medicinal in
gradients to the seat of the complaint. That
agent is the spirit Of the sugar cane, the
most NITROUS and agreeable of all the va
rieties of alcohol. The medicinal ingredi-
ents of the Bitters, valuable as they are,
would be comparatively useless without this
distributive basis. They would ferment
and sour. Beware, as you hope for health,
of the horrible compounds of refuse drugs
in a state of fermentation which humbugs
