A Nashville young lady who has locked
with partial eyes upon one OF our city ply
sicians, don't think 80 much of him now.
| She was sick last week, and be fixed her

castor oil and ale. The mixture cured her

The Graphic says that Gamma Dickinson
will certainly appear on the stage next fall,
upon the opening of the new Boston Globe
theatre"
The Cincinnati Enquirer has this to say
regarding that letter aWalworth wrote his
wife: "We have read the letter from
Mansfield Tracy Walworth to bis wife
which we publish this morning, and we are
fully persuaded that it is not such liDera-
ture as should proceed from an eminent
author, an sffectioDste father, and an
amiable husband, to the woman who had
once been tbelwife OF his bosom-or to any
other woman. We fear that the late Mr..
Walworth was not an eYen-tempered man,
unless he was always in rage. n W
Mary Mack must have been hungry,
judging from this item, clipped from an ex
change: "MAry Mack, servant girl from
Avondale, was locked up in the Ninth

fight with the officers. While resisting
them, she seized with her teeth on the ann

great mouthful of flesh"
Bowen is at last 10 be brought before a
committee Of Plymouth Church on the
charge of SANDER. An Investigation is to
be commenced, and we hope now the
whole affair will be cleared up. So much
has been saids so many suspicious are
cherished, so many reports arc IN circuls-
ton, that it may be be t for the general in
terests of the public that there be full
and thorough investigation.-Le

Those lockwood, Roane cou ty, girls
are just as full of fan and enterprise
as they can be. Their big BROTH
ers are also enterprising, but they
are not SO funny as the young ladies. a
correspondent writing from that town, mar
rates this pleasant incident: "TSo loving
SWANS were paying their addresses to a
fair dulcins, to both of whom ste was en-
gagged. The marriage day with one was to
be Sunday last. To the other she wrote,
Come and steal me Saturday, Who is to
blame for the commission of grand larceny
when The incentive to the crime is a fair
and loving girl? So, uuder cover of the
friendly shadows Of night, he, with party
of friends, exulting in the prospects of COM
ing success, appeared at the gate, and gave
the proper signal. Bot, instead of the
lady, out stepped hsr big brother, with shot
gun in hand. There was shot-a elatter-
ing of horses hoofs-and all was still
again"
The last melodic agony is at length
waited across the Atlantic, and ere long
Broadway will be vccal with its sentimental
gush. Il is a song with the beautifully ex-
pressive title of s'Pd Like to be Lap
Dog" and is the boon companion of
"Would were Fish" The new senti-
ment has been inspired by the tenderness
and devotion lavished by society bellies upon
their pet poodles. The genius that has
given the world this brilliant canine COM
position merits the reward of a handsome
brass collar with the title of his song en-
grsved upon it.
The St. Louis Journal lells what it
knows about hailstones, in the following
chaste aud appropriate language: "The
following reliable item is in circulation:
'H2ilstones as large as hens eggs, which
Tesembled and tasted like gum eamphor,
fell lately at GAINESVILLE, Wis., This reminds
US of hsiistorm which occurred some
years ago in Northern Indiana, when
the hailstones were not only the size of
hens eggs, but in SINE cases, when placed
under hens, Matched out healthy chickens.
Many of the bailstones were dOuble-yolke,.
We do not exactly remember the date of tie
storm nor the variety of the chickens
Matched"
Yesterday, 8 sprghtly Nashville yonng
lady was left in charge of the house, The
rest of the family being away from home.
An hour or so after their departure; the
young lady was sitting at an open front
window, with the responsibility of house
keeping resting heavily upon her, when
three little boys entered the front yard and
asked her if they might go around in the
back yard and get their chickens which had
stTayed into the inclosure, "Yes, little boys,
20 back and get your chickens" responded
our new housekeeper, in a patronizing tone.
Then those wicked juveniles, who never
owned a chicken in the whole course Of
their sinful lives, stepped softly behind the
house, stole the six plump fowls which they
had seen the gentleman of the house bring
in from market early in the day, and hasti-
ly retired from TIE premises.
she was standlnS On JDe cOfhe1 Oh OHiOn
and Cherry, just where the sun beat down
with great deal of force, bringing the per-
spiration out on her ebony face in huge
drops. Her masculine friend was shade
OF two biacker. Said this perspiring female:
81 wasn't 'z2ctly laid up, but was sorter
sc5 in my system all the time, you know"
He said he "knoWed jist how it was his
self" as be mopped his countenance with
red bandanns about the size of horse
blanket.
Reader, do you realize the solemn fact
that we have entered upon the last half of
the year 1879 If you do not, pause and
consider.
