she had been guilty Cf street walking; but
was free to admit that she had been out
late. Ten dollars.
Vim. L. Shaw is a strong temperance
man. He considers whisky and all kindred
beverages deadly poison, aud he is so de-
voted to the cause of temperance that he
occupies CO siderable portion of his time
in drinking all the liquor which comes with
10 his reach, in order to prevent its falling
into the hands of the youth of the land and
other inexperienced persons. In addition
to his devotion to the temperance cause,
Mr.. Shaw possesses another virtue-he is
eloquent, reTy eloquent, and pathet-
ic, and he told the court such
a pitiful story about his extreme poverty,
his motherless children at rome clamoring
for bread, and the gloomy future which FLIES
before him, that the sympathetic heart Of
that judicial body melted 'inthirely," and
Shaw was .old to go and behave himself
more circumspectly in the future.
Lou Christy was convicted Of having ac-
costed respectable lady on the stree: in
rude and vulgar manner, of keeping q
house of i'll fame, and Of using vulgar Ian
gusge in the court room. The considera-
ton, the compensation, the beggarly sum
charged By the court for these multitude
nous offenses on the part of Miss Christy,
amounted to a grand total of $50.
Neil Hone surrounded a few glasses of
brine Sunday morning and then hired a
horse and buggy at Shrader's livery stable,
for the purpose of having a high old time.
In order to add to his pleasure, he invited
Ton Talbot, a corgeniSl spirit to accom-
pany him, and IS he soon became so drunk
that be didn't know what be was doing
turned the reins over to Talbot, who con-
fessed that be had been drinking, but siren
uously denied being drunk. The day was
excessively warm, and their horse, in the
course of time began to flag. But Messrs.
Hone and Talbot were equal to the emer-
gency, and the arguments they used upon
that poor brute were of such a forcible
character that they kept him Waiting
ND and down our streets ut
quite late in the day. When they were
finally checked in their wild career they
were keeping that almost exhausted horse
in lope, by means of vigorous use OF a
piece of one Of the shafts, which they bad
broken during the day. Toey were lined
$50 each.

a Dreaming SOuIre.

The Memphis appeal tells this story:
"Justice Miller has had wonderful dream.
He had daughter whom he believed was
destroyed in Peruvian earthquake, but is
now certain she is living and has amassed
large property in Oregon. He left tn Q
city yesterday for Dover, Stewart county,
Tennessee, the cite of the noted Fort Don
elson, to see his aunt before making an ex-
tended visit. According to bis dream, bis
daughter is likely to meet him at Dover.
His dream also informed him that President
Grant intended to send him as a minister
to Peru. Justice Miller is o native of Ma
son county, Kentucky, and has long been q
resident of Memphis. He has q variety OF
talent, and is good at all trades and profess
ions. He has already been a school-tesch-
er, cabinet-maker, a music professor, a
machinist, l.wyer, president of base
ball club, a lawyer of successful practice, a
good portrait painter, plays chess like Paul
Morphey, and is now q MAGISTRATE of the
County Court. He, moreover, writes poet
~, understands medicine, and is certain his
diversified accomplishments and varied ex-
perieDce in life will qualify BIN to act the
role Of Peruvian minister with graceful
dignity and satisfactory intelligence"

Lucky LUCIA.

A letter from Madame Lucca to friend
in London is published in which the writer
says that she cleared $4,000 during the
first two months in this country, and thin s
in two seasons more she can make enough
to retire from the stage. She adds: 81 can
not tell you how gladly shall hail
the day which sets this proposed happiness
in my grasp, and allows me to begin to live
really for myseli-not to have ever to think
Of the soprano voice with which am bur-
dened, and which was and is certainly the
greatest care of my life. For l assure you
live here like prisoner, the climate being
so bad that have to repent it whenever ?
dare put my nose outside the door," Most
women would be willing to live like a pris-
oner for S22, 900 month, and if half the

Pare Water.

To the Union and American:
NASHVILLE, Aug. 1.-THE necessity of
an ample supply of pure water is becoming
daily more urgent. The danger we are
running with only one set of WORKOUT ma
ohinery tasked TO its utmost to supply tire
daily consumption, with the demand for
water increasing every day, is subject
worthy the attention of all concerned. How
long will it take, at the present rate of in
crease, for the demand TO exceed tie sup
plyP This is serious question for the peo-
pie to consider, aud there is but one an
swer to it, and that is that it must be REM
edied. We must have good water and
plenty Of it. Without it, it is idle to talk of
sanitary measures or progress Of any kind.
1t is Tot question of money; it is more
than that; it is a question of life or death.
Nashville must establish repu alton abroad
for health. In order to do this it mus have
an abundant supply of pure water from
some source-not such stuff as we have
been forced to drink this spring and sum-
mer. / am credibly informed that dead
fish have daily been taken from the reser-
voir by bucketsfull, having died there from
impurlty of the water. This took place, l
understand, during the epidemic.

other points. The air Is pure and the sur
roundings delightful, such as, afford rec
reative amusement Of every kind; while
the waters are unsurpassed in their medici-
nal properties by those of any watering
place in the South. l. was the opinion of
one of Nsshville's most distinguished ply
sicians of dozen years ago, that the waters
OF Kingston were unequaled in their cura-
tive and invigoratiDg properties; and that if
these springs were located at some point
more remote from Nashville and not qHite
so easy of access, and there was considera-
BILE "blowing" done about them, they would
be regarded as possessing the finest waters
in the world, and become one of the

A Word to our City Officers.

To the Union and American:
NASHVILLE; Ang. 11,-As good citizen
and for the interest Of Nashville, allow me
through your paper to say word to our
city officers, hoping it may be timely ad-
vice. When the cholera was here, it is true
you all went to work in good earnest, and
the city was put in fine sanitary condition
and just about that time the epidemic COM
menced 10 leave ms. Now observe that the
city is again becoming very filthy. Are we
to let it continue until another visit of the
cholera is paid, or should we gain wisdom
from experience, and keep the city always
cleanP Then we will not get scared of cpl
DENIES. We must take precautionary meas
ures or else We will have second visit this
fall, and if we should, then we can safely
say goodbye to our fall trade. So let on
the water; keep the cutters clean; put your
lime around, and let your Sanitary Com
mittee go to work. Regardless of any and
every expense, keep your city nice and
clean. WARNING.

81. Cecilia and the Late Cholera visI-


We clip the following from last weeks
issue of the Nashville Comnerridl Reporter:
On visiting this charming seclusion at
the time the cholera was at its height in
Nashville, was surprised to find still con-
siderable number of boarders quietly pursu-
ing their studies Under the direction of the
Project. Are yon not afraid of the cholera?
/ inquired of bright-iooking little miss.
"Not Bit" was her reply; "cholera has
never made its appearance on Mount Yer.
non, since the st. Cecilia Academy has
been on it." This was said with an air of
confidence which proved that fear had no
dominion there. You are not, then, kept
under cholera regimene / continued.
"Whst's thats Rice and milk? we all like
it.D No, said l; bread and bacon, and
bacon and bread. "Oh, mol we have lamb
and roast beef, ham sometimes; and new
potatoes and canned peaches every day."
Cholera, then imposes no privation out
here? s'No; yes, we are not permitted to
eat pears; they, are hanging thick on the
trees and as yelloH as gold. They cook
them to Kill the poison; that spots their
nice taste; but when the cholera has gone
from the city we'll make the sticks fly at
them"
The pears did appear very inviting and,
70 girls who can make sticks fig they must
have been q source of temptation equal to
the apple-tree in Paradise.
Mount Vernon has many attractions for
the sc DOL girl, and it ffers many more ad-
vantages than it has attractions. The gen.
tie persuasion of the meek preceptress con-
quers even the spoiled girl, and puts to
flight the spirit of idleness. This school is
destined to become, not the best-it is that
already-but the first female academy in the
South. In sanitary point of view 1t has
no equal. Not case of sickness occurred
among the seventy-fve boarders that attend
ed the school in ;he past year.
The corps of teachers has just been REIN
forced from one of their old institutions.
The system of education pursued in the
st. Cecilia Ac DENY is in accordance with
the best models in this country. A fine
library numbering amongst its volumes the
New American Encyclopedia, is at the SER
vice of the students; and, from the CONVEX
sation of the pupils of the Senior Glass,
am able to affirm that they know some. hing
more of the American and English authors
besides their names. l am satisfied that
novel-reading does not fill up the spare
hours of the young ladies of the St. Cecilia
Academy.

Rev. H, II. SuDOOt,

On Sunday morning last in the absence
of the Rev. Mr.. Hoyt, Rev. Mr.. Smoot, of
Bowling Green, KY, preached in the First
Presbyterian Church Of this city. The SUBJ
ject of the discourse was the resurrection of
the dead. The reverend gentleman handled
the subject in very mastery manner, pre-
senting this feature of the Christian system
in clear and forcible light. He held that
faith in the resurrection was the central
thought aud the very heart of the whole
Christian system. His manner is natural
and easy, his illustrations are apt and sim
pie, all drawn from the most familiar OBJ
jects, and some of them very beautiful
The sermon has made profound impress
sion upon those who heard it, and was a
subject of general remark yesterday among
the members of that congregation. We
hope be may find it convenient to visit US
frequently.
