A young railroad man of this CITY, being
won W the seductive tongue OF q cheeky
stranger, was induced to enter into an ar
rangement with the latter by which be was
to be taught the Spencerien system of wri-

to pay for the entire course a. the start. The

The st. Louis Times devotes q coIumn
and half to the publication of an inter-
view held with the proprietors of the Dem
ocrGt and Mr.. McCullaugh, better known
as " Mack, 3" for the purpose of learning the
why's and wherefores Of the withdrawal of
the latter from the Democrat, on which
paper he has filed the office of managing
editor for about eighteen months. TIE
Fishbacks told the Times man that Ma K
resigned, and Mack told him that be had
done nothing of the kind; and so the Times
readers pay their money and take their
choice as to these somewhat conflicting
statements.

The st. Louis Times of the I'd inst. has
this to say relative to the great railroad
tunnel now being constructed in that city:
"This great work has for the past five or
six weeks been making rapid progress.
With the exception of one block, work is
going on alongside entire route. At the
southern half of the work the side retain
ing walls and abutments have been COM
pleted as far as Pine street, and the brick
arches are being rapidly constructed up to
Walnut street. At the northern half the
progress is equally favorable, and if the
present rate of construction can be main-
taineu the first of January will see the near
approach of its completion"
A few days since lsdy was crossing
Market street, when she was suddenly at
tackled by big black hog, who tore her
skirts and bit her severely on the ANGLE.
fortunately there were persons standing
near who came to the assistance of the lady,
and his porkship was driven away.
And yet we Nashvillians boast of our re-
finement, our culture, our musical reputa-
ton, our wealth, our intelligence, our
schools, our churches, our everything, in
fact, that civilized people prize. From this
time on, let US add to the foregoing liss, our
hogs, for certainly there is not a city OF
the continent which will compare with us
in this particular.
