A Nashville gentleman mes the pronrie-

In front OF bis establishment, and after some
conversation, the latter asked him to take
drink, but upon the invitation being &C.
copied, took him into so adjoining saloon.
Upon being asked to explain, he said that
he could get beer for Eve cents per glass at
the second saloon, whereas be couldn's
have treated his friend and himself at bis
own place for less than twenty cents.
The Sparta hadeg relates this story of
young married life In that section:
The young married man who mistook the
wrong lady for his wife, the other night at
the Concert, conducted the other lady to an
excellent seat; she, being stranger in the
city, supposed him 10 be the usher, and
followed as matter Of course. She was
somewhat surprised however when he took
q seat by her side, and commenced alking.
When he discovered the mistake, confusion
at first tangled his tongue; but In moment
he rallied. "Where's Sarah . was his biiei

A nice piece of manuscript was sent to
this Office lately. It was prepared by the
skillful hand of member of the legal pro-
fessioD, and consequent It's meaning was
| as clear as mud. There were short marks
here, and long marks there, while dota, ink
| splashes, erasures, and things of that sort,
were scattered about with reckless profa-
sion. The paper resembled q map
| OF bleeding Kansas, plan of our
| proposed new water works, q pen and ink
| sketch of the burnt district of Edgefield,
or indeed anything of that sort. The print
| ers yearned for that manuscript the mo-
ment they saw it, and the one who was
given the largest portion CT it was looked
upon with envy by his fellows. Finally
one of them came to couple oflong words
that he couldn't decipher readily.
He went out and borrowed telescope
and looked again, but still falling to
make out the two words in question, he
propped this copy up ct one end of the
room, stood on his head at the other, and
viewed it in that position for q time, but
yet without success. Then be carried the
copy TO every man In the office, begging
their assistance, but none were able to help
the unfortunate typo. Then he became
desperate, pulled bis hst down with
firm grasp, ignored the undecipherable
entirely, and substituted therefor "copY
books, ten cents each," remsrking conf
dentially to brother comp, "Wont that
chap swear when he reads bis proof" And
he will, of course, lut is there not some-
thing suggestive in the sentence substituted?
If copy books are only ten cents each, why
should not every lawyer in this city pur-
chase one immedistely, apd a. once set
about improving his chirographys

Mixed and Frauduiently Packed Cot


We call the attention of our cotton read
ers to The following letter addressed to the
Cotton Factors of Nashville, by the Board
of Cotton Buyers, lately organized in this
city. The subject is one that has excited
considerable attention in this country and
England among dealers and manufacturers.
No doubt the mass Of our planters would
rejoice to see the evils complained of abat-
ed, for their faithfully put up cotton has 10
he put in doubt on account of the conduct
of portion who were not conscientious
enough to do right, or careful enough to put
up their cotton well.
TO THE COTTON FACTORS OF NASHVILLE:
WHEREAS, The mixing of different cot
tons in the same bale has become grievous
evil, hurtful to the interest of buyer, seller,
and planter alike, in that it causes buyers
abroad to shun our market; and whereas,
we have suffered great damage, especially
during the season row closing, from naared
and trdudule,atly packed cotton, imperative
necessity and common honesty demand
that stringent measures be adopted looking
to speedy abatement of Ibis evil; therefore
be it
Resolved, that the buyers Of cotton in
this market give notice through you to the
planters and ginners, that we shall hereafter
cause rigid examination to be m lde and
where bale of cotton is found Tp.ated"
showing clear intention to defraud, we
shall prosecute, to conviction if possible,
the guilty pa:ties; and be it further
Resolved, that in all cases of mixed and
false packed cotton the aghole ale shall be
deemed of the grade Of the poorest cotton
found therein.
Resolved, that we invite tie cooperation
of all honest planters and ginners to sid us
in this work ofexpcsure and prosecution of
the wrong-doers, and suggest where a bale
is unavoidably packed containing different
grades of cotton that the same shall be
branded "MIA" on head and side, putting
the lowest grade on the outside, never in
the center of ibe bale.

Columbia Railroad Bonds.

John n. Bass. Presiden. OF the Nashville
Life Insurance Company, was in our city a
few dsys ago, making arrangements with
Col. L. d. Myers to take the railroad bonds
of Columbia. This Insurance Company is
Southern, home institution, and is largely
patronizsd by the people of Columbia aud
Maury county, and has tae confidence Of
every one who is favorable 10 the enterprise
of life insurance. The money that is paid
into the treasury Of this company for poll
cies is not sent sent North to be invested in
some speculative scheme, bat in every in
stance where il is possible it is invested in
public enterprises at hom1, and thus con-
tributes to develop the resources of our owa
country, and also secure the interests of
those insured in this company.
This Company not only proposes to take
the railroad bonds of Columbis, but they
will also invest their means in any public
enterprise where their policies are issued,
and where they can secure tie best interests
of their poliey-holders. In this way the
money that is expended for insurance is
kept in circulation among those who are
insured, and the argument that life insu-
rance is draining the country of its money,
SO Tar as this nome company Is concerned,
is practically overcome. But some wiIlsay,
''This company viii collect the money on
these bonds at msturity, and what will be-
come of it at Iast?" We answer: that then
eUiU pay it back to your a0ido,gs and or
phanS on the expired policies that they haze
issued to your people.
We clip the above from the Columbia
(Tenn.) Mail. In addition TO what Is said
10 that paper, we will add that The Nash
vile Life has issued more than three thous-
and two hundred policies, for more than
eleven millions of dollars, since it began
business in July, 1867, and yet 50 carefully
has il medical corps selected its risks, that
its total death losses in six years, to Isl July,
1878, have been only seyenty-six thousand,
five hundred dollars (S76, 500). Its business
for the first six months of this year islarge-
ly more than that of the eutire year of
1872, and its business to this date, in
Aug st, is nearly four times as great as that
of the entire month of August, 1872. One
District Agent has sent in to the company
over six hundred thousand dollars of insu-
rance since January /, 1873.
