picking about our streets yesterday, closely
examining the manner in which said streets
were paved. These gentlemen took the
train last night for Louisville. 1t has since
transpired that they were committee ap.
pointed in Northern city to visit other
cities with view of getting facts and figures
relative to street paving. II would have
done the hearts of our street committee
good to have heard the unstinted praise
those Northern barbarians bestowed upon
their enterprise and ability.
s Senator Allison's anatomy is permeated
with rich vein of satire. ct may be a
physical impossibility for mans anatomy
to be "permested with vein" of anything,
but the sentence sounds well.) He stated
yesterday in the Senate chamber that he
was strongly in faver of imposing heavy
tax on draymen, farmers, and that class,
but that he was bitterly opposed to putting
a privilege tax on modest, Woodworking in
surance agents.
Great is the power of soap. If the mer-
chant who accumulates lucre by exchang
ing apples therefor in the Senate chamber
would use a small amount mixed with
water on his hands occasionally, his sales
would be much larger, and his bank &C.
count show corresponding increase.
The eagle eye of our musical critic rested
ior moment yesterday upon cigar maker
as he skillfully piled his tasde, and now he
says he cont take that interest in smoking
which has heretofore characterized him.
He has not concluded 10 quit smoking en-
tirely, but he says he will never bite the
end off of cigar again, and from this time
on be will always use cigar-holder.
The GOODNESS and equanimity with which
the Bulletin of this city transfers bodily to
its own columns our Legislative reports and
synopsis of bills, is worthy of the highest
admiration, even in these days of cheek
and Credit Mobilier schemes. But we are
disposed to be accommodating, and here
with offsr to the Bulletin man the matter
already set up, and he can save something
on composition by accepting the offer.
Robertson county, in this State, pays to
the United States Revenue Collectors the
sum of $4,000 per month, as tax on the
LIQUID for which that section is famous.
For several days past the debates in the
Senate have been unusually interesting, and
large numbers of visitors have been attract
ed in consequence.
Judging from the length of time "Cap-
tain Jack" remains in his lava bed, that
warlike Aboriginee must be something OF
sluggard.
1t is quite evident that the "Small Talk"
man of the COurier-,JOuTndI is furnishing
his contributions TO the current literature
of the day, by proxy, at the present time.
Our musical critic is preparing we'll
spelled editorial on "Spring," which it is his
intention to set adrift upon the sea of liter
ature within few days. It will be very
unique and well-built affair; elevating and
refining in its influences, of highly moral
tone, and will doubtless prove very Balm
o. Gilead to that class who don't have much
to eat, and are always short of coal.
"H, V. r." of the Cincinnati COmmsy
ciQL, is getting to be formidable rival for
Aleck Stevens, in the length of his 'edi-
torials."
On the 18th inst. the st. Louis Journal
man was at peace with the world. His
harrassed and well nigh discouraged land
lady had finally consented 10 an extension
of time with her little account, and his pro-
prietors had raised his pay to seven dollars
a week. So he sat him down and penned
this beautiful paragraph:
GAS Spring draws near, her blood still
warmed by her last voluptuous bout with
winner, anu ueT UIeatu oil lIaSTauG Will
suggestions of summer drinks, the heart of
the paragrsphist opens and takes her in.
Spring is now and has ever been a husky
old girl. As she trips along over the earth,
beneath her garments the daisies stick out
their little heads and peek; the last icicle
melts gently away as does the fragrant gum
drop in the mouth of the gushing school
girl; sugar-maples and sentimental young
men grow insensibly more sappy, and the
grubs have 70 "hump themselves" to get
out of the way of the woodpeckers."
A young man, whose voice the other
night was heard inviting all to "Come
where my love lies dreaming" has been
carrying patch over his eye ever since.
He says he caught cold in in. Louisville |
Commercial.
The Gays of marbles, croquet, ball, fresh |
eggs and moonlight strolls, are upon us,
and the heart of the Nashville small boy
and his young lady sister rejoice muchly
thereat The weather we are now exper-
fencing is delightful, and scores and hun
dreds of our citizens were out on the streets
