The State Lunafic Asylum.
From the Columbia Mail.

During a recent visit to Nashville, we
had occasion to go to the Tennessee Asylum
for the insane. 1t is situated about six
miles in a southeastern direction from the
city, and is accessible by means OF well
kept turnpikes. The beautiful lawn that
gradually slopes from the building to the
front entrance adorned with every variety
of costly Shrubbery and forest trees,
trimmed in most artistic style; the smooth
gravel walks that interscct at various an
giles. leading through beds of flowers, by
fountains OF water and rustic mounds, COW
cred with green moss, reminded us OF an
Eastern fable. We introduced ourselves to
DR.. J. II. Calender, Superintendent of the
establishment. and were kindly invited into
bis room. We at once saw that no less
taste had been displayed in the internal
arrangements than had been to
adorn and beautify the external SUI
rorlndings. The various apartments
are fitted up in s plendid style; every thing
is scrupulously neat, and perfect harmony
prevails throughout the whole. We were
forcibly impressed with the fact that DR..
Calender is eminently qualified for the
high and responsible position that he holds.
His qualifications as physician are unSur-
passed by those Of any in his profession;
and kindness of heart and gentleness Of
manners, peculiarly fit him for the work in
which he is engaged. DR.. J. A. Beauchamp,
assistant physician for the male wards,
kindly conducted us through the various
apartments and explained to us the manner
of treatment, rules, regulations and general
workings of the whole establishment. We
could plainly see from his candOr, kindness
and gentlemanly department towards his
patients, that his chief concern was to Sc
cure their comfort and welfare: and the
respect manifested towards him by many
of them during our visit, showed clearly
the high appreciation they had for his ser
vices.
1t would be difficult to make any Sug-
gestion that would improve the condition
of the patients; Their clothing is neat and
clean; their wards and rooms are all that
could be desired, and they have abundance
of wholesome and nutritious food well pre-
pared. There is a chapel in the building,
elegantly furnished, where divine service is
held every Sabbath. DIR. A. A. East IS the
assistant physician for the female wards.
We did not visit this department, but we
were informed by DIR. Beauchamp, that 1t
was counterpart of the male wards. No
angry words or harsh language, under any
circumstance, is allowed to be used to
patients, and they are permitted to do as
they please, so far rs is consistent with
their comfort or safety. Every effort IS
made to render this home for the insane at
tractive, and it is provided with every con-
ceivable appliance that could promote the
restoration of a disordered mind.

HIM FIsK'S MONUMENT.

A correspondent of the NelC Of6 " ora
writing from Florence, Italy, describes
mooniieent monument already nearly tin
isbed Inv no less an artist than Meade. The
convention seems to be 'Fiskish" all over.
The correspondent says it consists OF a
marble shaft, on which is to be placed a
nortrait medallion of Fisk as Colonel OF
the ninth regiment. On the surrounding
base are four young women. One has on
her diadem a carved model of sound boat,
supposed to be the Plymouth Rock; in her
hand she holds book on which is the
word Steamboat Another has IN
her diadem an Erie train, and on her book
is written the word Railway" The third
is crowned with huge chaplet, and armed
with musical instrument, symbolic OF the
grand opera house and opera bOufe. The
fourth is holding bag full of money, with
one hand, and is, [ believe, a symbol OF
commerce. The statue will be twelve feet
high, and be approved by a committee. The
groups about the base will represent in
fantTy, cavalry, artillery and the marine
branches of the service, and will be eleven
feet high. The first group consists Of an
officer .waving a flag and leading on his
men" In view of Fisk's escape over a back
fence during the riots, with much damage
TO the seat of his pantalOons, this ''Otiicer
waving flag is ''much Of a richness"

A WIFE'S STRATEGY.
Comedy i'm Rail-
road Car.
From the Scranton, Pa. Democrat.


We have but little sympathy for a
man who will barter away the affection
he should feel for a wife for the tickle
smiles and favOrs of other women whose
moral stamina is not strong enough to
keep them afoat ON the dark waters of
sin.
Therefore, we could only smile when
we, the other day, learned the details of
the following episode:
Nv. L., of this city, is a young mar
ried man of more than ordinary attrac-
tions, and, of course, he knows it. He
is a regular lady-killer-in his estima-
ton. A few years ago he won the heart
and the hand Of an intelligent girl. from
a neighboring town; but he cannot re-
sist the fascinatiOns of his old ways
among the opposite sex, and he never
lets an opportunity slip of making him
self agreeable to them, and ingratiat-
ing himself into their confidence as far
as possible.
Last week his wife was visited by
an acquaintance of her girlhood from
the country smart, fresh-loOking
damsel, but not Over-scTUpUIous about
her confederation loose IN her ways,
showing poor bIingingup. During her
visit here, Mr.. L., his wife, and their
visitor took occasion to run up to Mich
olson for a day Of pleasure, which
passed off to the apparent enjoyment
of all concerned.
But twas on thereturn trip that the
fun commenced-fo the wife The
three passengers occupied two seats in
the car, opened opposite to each other,
the husband and few articles of bag
gage on one seat, and the ladies facing
him.
Laughter, merriment and jokes, in
terspersed with comments on the events
of the day, erefreely INDUCED in, and
everything was going on swimmingly,
until at length Mrs. L. thought she
caught a glimpse, IN the dark corner of
the car, OF her husbands hand reach
ing that of her companion, which lay
partly concealed under her shawl.
1T was the careful movement OF q
moment to place her own hand where
his was likely to fall. The next instant
she felt the real old-time pressure OF her
youthful lovers palm, which she re-
turned with the ardor that she had
done in the days long gone.
Then followed a half hour of more
than usually lively conversation on the
part of her husband, and it was inter-
spersed at every significant point, as
thick as commas, with hearty grasps of
bis wife's little hand, which were often
times heightened into a downright
squeeze; and every one was returned
with equal fervor by his wife, who was
delighted beyond measures at the success
of her little game.
Nothing interfered with the pro-
gramme, until at length the conductor
burst open the door within a few feet Of
them, when the full glare of his lantern
fell on the discomftted wight and the
laughing wife. She held stoutly TO her
husbands hand, and lifted it as high as
her head, until there could no longer be
a doubt in the mind Of the three as to
the situation of affairs.
''That man didn't talk worth a cent
the rest of the trip, and as everything
has appeared serene around their hearth
ever since, it is presumed that he has
begged forgiveness-and is looking for
another chance"

Evening schools For Adults.
70 the Union and American:

To the Union and Americana
We propose to lay before the citizens of
Nashville a subject of great Importance.
Doubtless they will give fitting heed to its
merits. 1t is rather surprising that it has
not already received some public attention.
The subject is, to establish permanent
evening schools, to be kept up during four
months each winter, for the benefit Of our
youth and adults. In all the Eastern and
Western cities of the Union there are even
inc schools, and the teachers are well paid
by the city and State authorities. We are
satisfied. after considering the facts, that
our community is in need of such an insti-
tuition. Many young men in town, of our
acquaintance, especially of the working
classes, can neither read nor write; some
can read printed matter by eXertiOn, but
cannot read handwriting; Others under
stand the art of writing but very imper-
fectlv. 1t is true we have excellent COM
mon schools in town, but the youth Of the
working classes cannot visit them, owing
10 their occupation. Only the evening
hours in winter are at their disposal.
The cost of carrying on evening schools
can be made light, so as not to draw heav-
ily on our already embarrassed public treas
uries. Our schOolhouses can be used for
evening teaching. Our gas company, al
WAYS ready 10 assist in works of general
utility. would likely supply the gas. Cit
liens OF good will, qualified to teach, would
come forward and offer their services, with
out asking emolument. Some of the pro
fessors of our colleges, and of the Univer-
sitv. might not refuse to deliver lectures
from time to time, for the diffusion OF
,,I ,,,.i,,asT,laS
Open such schools in our town and many
of our Young men, and society at large
would be greatly benefited; mischief and
disorder at night would be diminished; so
briefly, economy, steady habits, and spirit
of Improvement would be cultivated, and
money now spent in the grog-shopss, would
be paid out for good papers, books, and
other useful things. ). j.. SIGMAN.

WERE THEY FEDERAL SOLDIERS
Two Brothers are Brought from Fen.
tress County, charged with Murder.

Sheriff TavlOT, OF FentreSS county,
brought two brothers. SherOd and James
Pile. to Nashville from Fentress county
YESTERDAY, and lodged them in Jail to await
trial before the United States Court, on the
charge Of murder.
The circumstances connected with the
crime Of which they stand charged, as cur
rently reported at that time, are these:
Some time in 1868, the father Of these
men was killed by son Of Mr.. RObt. Rich
ardson, of Fentress county. At that time
the Pile boys were members of the
Eleventh Tennessee cavalry, of the Federal
army. In 1865, or the latter part Of 1864,
they returned home and on the 10th day of
January, 1865, they are charged with having
deliberately
SHOT AND KILLED
a Mr.. James Payne, of Fentress county, an
inofiensive, quiet man, about tifty-fiye years
of age. They then proceeded TO
the house of Mr.. Richardson, who
was over seventy years Of age. They
found him in bed, and il is said they took
him by the hair Of the head, dragged him
into the yard, stamped upon him until they
had mangled his face in fearful manner,
stamping both eyes out of his head, break
ing. his Jaws, and then shooting him as they
rode off Before leaving him they killed
dog and left the body on the body Of the
diving man. Leaving that county, they
went to Missouri, Illinois and other West
ern States, and finally settled near Liberty,
Casey county, KY, some time in 1872.
JTp 10 this time they had
ELUDED ALL EFFORTS TO CAPTURE THEM,
and had succeeded in keeping their exact
To i,a pn;tinS of
FentreSs county.
About the first Of this year, Gov. Brown
secured a requisitiOn for their arrest from
the Governor Of Kentucky, and this requisi-
ton was sent to Sheriff Taylor at once.
Armed with this document, Taylor went
to Casey county and arrested the brothers,
one of whom, James, was married, and had
his family with him. He was engaged in
farming. and Sherod made his headquarters
with him, although he did but little work
on the farm.
They were indicted by the grand jury of
Fentress county for the murders above de-
scrbed, also for two robberieS. and James
was indicted for
KILLING JAMES MILLER,
a stock dealer, but before the sitting of the
court, they secured a change of venue to
this county, and got the case transferred to
the United States Court, and for that
reason have been brought here for trial.
Sherod Pile is about 26 years of age, and
James is "a. Their mother is living in
Fentress county-in which they We're raised
and they have great many relatives re-
| siding in that section.
BY an act of the Legislature passed last
winter, they cannot be held if they Were
connected with either army at the time the
killing occurred. but it is said they had de-
serted from their regiment before their re-
| turn home in 1864.
