BAD DREAMs.-Bad dreams are fire.
quently caused by tight neck band,
which prevents the blood when it has
reached the brain from flowing freely
back again. Compression of any part
of the body should be avoided at all
times, but especially during sleep. The
lighter the bedclothes are the more re-
freshing and sweet will be repose. For
this reason, comforters made of delaines
or other thin woolen material and stuff
ed with wool are far preferable to those
made of cotton, and warmer even than
blankets, since the fbers of wool are wi
der apart and the same weight goes far
ther in retaining the warmth Of the body.

OUR SUPERIOR CIVILIZATION.

The Chinese think it meet,
To dwarf their women's feet;
We, with our higher taste,
Cramp and contract the waist.
Thus much more wise are we than they,
The foolish people of GATEWAY.
Some squaws, as Catlin shows,
Wear rings in ears and nOse
Our more fastdious dears
Only so deck their ears;
Being thus much advanced in grace
Beyond wild she copper-face
The Hndoos, it is said
Give to the fire their dead
We ours to sitting clay,
To worms and foul decay;
Yes more humane are we than these
Barbarian Hindostanese.
Some tribes sleep in the breeze,
In hammocks swung in trees;
We breathe in air-tight rooms
Foul air and fetid fumes;
Such comfort do our arts confer,
Unknown to the poor islander.
Some tribes from darkness sprung,
Possess no written tongue;
Our people fill their mods
From Tupper's pen, and CObb's;
Therein is shown our very great
advance beyond the savage state.

And shake the ruta baga tree.
Oh, hump yourself, my lovely Poll,
And in the cause of anti-mOnOp,
Well mulch the turkeys in the Fall,
And graft the long clam on the hop.
My sweetest I am fond of mush
And thou wilt set some out for me;
Well early SOW the currant bush
And tap the cranberry jelly tree.
Well pull the wool from off the calf,
The cottonwood its fleece shall shed.
So at the Winter we will laugh,
And gayly weed the oyster bed.
Well blithely hoe the Winter wheat;
Well chase the eggs the squirrels lay;
And when the Bantam hog shall bleat
Well feed him with some clover hay.

POLICE PICKINGS.

Tom LASER was unfortunate enough to
be taken before the court on the charge of
using profane and abusive language on the
stree 3. Fortunately he has not suspended,
and his handing over the sum of 81. so pre-
vented his being sent to the laboratory.
When the name of Club Colburn was
called, and the familiar form of that ingeD-
uous youth stepped nimbly to the front the
court recognised him in moment. The
court takes paternal interest in the out
goings and in.conings OF Club, and may be
said to lie responsible for them to a con-
siderable extent,a as the viVacious Clubs out
goings are principally confined TO going out
of the workhouse, and his incomines TO
passing inside the hospitable doors of that
adjunct to q high state of civilization.
The fact is, Club spends 80
much of bis time at the workhouse,
that he sthere considered q privileged char
acter, and that institution really seems
lonely without him. The first time he was
sent down, it was because of his having
erred regarding his carrying capacity, Che
having concealed more whisky about his
per@n than be could carry without attracs-
ing attention), and it is high proof of Clubs
stability of purpose that he has followed that
lead ever since, doubtless feeling that he had
abilities in that particular line which would
ultimately lead to distinction. And be was
right, for he stands to-day unriValled in bis
specially, and his newspaper reputation
now extends throughout the entire South.
When his case was called yesterday, ne
stated to the Court that be thought he could
keep sober for about three uoDths, and
upon bis making promise to that effect,
his case was dismissed.

have sustained an irreparable loss, for which
we deeply grieve:
Therefore it is resolved that We give this

us have known him from esrly boyhood,
through every stage of progress, into early
manhood, through muture lie anu unIO

our affectionste regard for his many manly
virtues, and our admiration for bis noble
ness of heart, and for the flexible integri.
ty of his character. We offer the tenderess
expressions of sympathy to his bereaved
wife and children, and while we cannot re
pair their loss, yet they may have the con-
seriousness that we especially, and the COM

them.

ADJUSTMENTS.

THE GILBERT SIsTERs.-Notwithsta
ing the inclemency of the weather, nearly
every seat at Masonic hall was occupied
last night, upon the occasion of the first ap-
pearance of the Gilbert Sisters troupe, in
the comedy of Frou Frou ct is difficult to
understand why this play is called a
Comedy
The troupe have received some valuable
additions since their last appearance in
Nashville, and their rendition of Frou- Frou
connot well be ezcelled. The play ran
smoothly, the music was excellent, and the
audience manifested deep interest through
out the:entire evening. Miss Katie Gilbert
and Mr.. Spencer Pritchard fully sustained
the enViable reputation they have earned,
and they were well supported by the rest OF
the compIDy.
Tonight the two act drama "Meg'S Dr.
version" will be presented, to be followed
by the popular afterpiece "The Bibbs." We
hope to see the Giiberts well patronized.
HAPPY CAL WAGNER. Cal ard

the Opera House this evening, the engage
ment lasting four nights, with matinee on
Friday afternoon. Since the last visit Of
this company to Nashville, the management
have added many new features OF atirac-
fiction, and number OF meritorious stars
of minstrelsy, foremost amongst whom,
may be mentioned the great Charley How
ard, who az representative of the Old
Plantation darky, has no equal in the coun-
try. Another new face is that of Bernardo,
the wonderful vocalist and female imperson-
stor, and Messrs. Goss ard Fox, song and
dance artists, are said TO be immense. In
addition to these extra attractions, we are
to have again peep at those faVorite artists,
Cal Wa gner, Johnny Booker, Sam Price
and Ben Brown, who are whole team in
anything they undertake. And who has
forgotten that superior vocal quartette, j.
Rapier, Horace Rushby, Will S. Morton and
Charles Henry, who 81 delighted our citi-
zens when last here. Suffice it to say, there
will hardly be standing room at the Opera
House to night.

GEN. Buckner-A fortune Reclaimed.

Something Of romance, says the World,
is connected with the recent .e.urn to Mrs.
Buckner, the wife of Gen. S. B Buckner,
the ex-Confederate General of Kentucky,
of certain large property which, when the
war broke out, she had conveyed to her
brother. When Gen. Bucknrr entered the
Confederate service, and before Mrs. s. B.
Joined him there, she conveyed the proper
ty to her brother under q deed Of trust.
The Young man afterwards married, be-
came a father and entered the Union SER
vice. The question now was what would be
done with the property. Ifhe should die or
be killed without making will re-conVey-
ing to bis sister the property she had deed
ed to him, his child would inherit the for
tune. On the eve of thu battle of Sharps-
burg, however, he made will of this char
acter, and at the battle named, was killed.
General Burnside, who commanded the
corps in which the young man served, knew
that his will had been made. He kept
the secret, ami after the war, informed
Gen. Buckner of it, and the latter, by his
aid, was enabled to recover the will. The
tostame- tary proofs having been obtained.
Mrs. Buckner's title was full proved, and
the fortune which at one time seemed to
hang on a slender thread, was returned 10

The Matter of Checks.

We hear considerable complaint among
our merchants and business men that the
Louisville and Nashville and Great South
ern Railway does not take checks in pay
ment for freight, snd on inquiry at the
Office of the road, we learn that the policy
of requiring payment for freight in currency
was established more than five years ago,
and that where the cashier has received
checks in payment of freight since 1865, he
has done so on his own responsibility and
at bis own risk. We are advised that he
has received checks from many of orr bus
mess men during that time, and that he in
vsriably got the money on these checks, but
that be did this at his own risk and to &C.
commodate our business men. The re-
quirement Of currency in payment for
freight is, therefore, simply carrying out a
rule of long standing, which has no refer
ence to the present crisis whatever, and was
estatli with no view to iDjure Nash
vile or incommode its business men.
