! Mr.. James Brown did not present the
most attractive appearance in the world,
when be answered to bis name yes erday.
His hair was very much tangled, his gar
ments we're soiled, and he carried his shoes
and some old rags which did duty as stock
ings, in his right hand. Mr.. Brown looked
as though some forty-fve sweet summers,
and q corresponding number of winters,
had come and gone since he first opened
his eyes on this world of sin and sorrow
and-whisSy, for it was quite evident that
whisky had been the rock upon which the
hopes and aspi- ations Of Mr.. Brown have
been wrecked, and, In all probability will
continue to be wrecked until "Dea;h
comes with friendly care" and transports
him to land where whisky and police
courts are unknown. Mr.. Brown seemed
to be very fair-minded, candid sort of sn
| old topper, ior when the court questioned
him as to the truth or falsity of the rumor
prevailing in police circles, to the effect that
he had been drunk AID disorderly, he re-
piled frankly: "Judge, I'm guilty; am sir, l
forgive the policeman that arrested me, and
forgive you, Judge, for trying my case, for
L was drunk, but Pm ashamed Of it. The
fses is Judge, | met with an accident; net

Thursday night, and all day yesterday, and
| didn't have cent o. money, and was
just about discouraged. l want to
go to Chattanooga or Alaba-
ma Judge, and if could
only get there, promise you I'd never be
no more trouble or expense to the State of
Tennessee. I'm acquainted there, and l
wish I'd never come away from there" He
was told to go.
Josh Stevens became engaged in lively
little rumpus Friday night, in the course of
which he "cussed" one of his female &C
quaintances, knocked another down with
chair, and INDUCED in other little eccen-
tricities Of that character. The court listen
ed patiently to all the testimony in the case,
and then indLlged in the little eccentricity
of fning Mr.. Stevens $40.
Bill Brown, colored, rose betimes !es.er-
day morning, and FASTENED away to the
msrket-house ere the average Nashvillian
had risen from his couch. In thus doing,
Mr.. Brown had an object in view, and that
object Recommendations. After half an
bour's judicious purchasing, Mr.. Brown
found himself the owner, in fee simple, of
Sun u wagon load o. the desired vegetable,
with ell The Embellishments and sppurten-
ances thereunto elonging. And more: He
found himself Under arrest upon the grave
charge of "5uying in the market to sell
again" the lowest fine in the case being S25:
The evidence seemed to establish the truth
fuluess Of the charge, and the dealer in mel
OBS was fined a fourth of hundred.
Sam Kouns persisted in getting drunk,
and Lht n be persisted in acting disorderly
on the streets, and then a policeman per-
sisted in srrestirg him, and then the Court
persisted in fDing him ten dollars, and then
Sam persisted ia going down to the work
house, and there Capt. Corbett will persist
in having him remain until he has worked
out the am unit of h's fine.

Lave and Music

She was a music teacher. He played the
piano fairly well. They lived next door.
1t was one of those wooded cities so COM
mon in this country, where each house
stands alone in its little garden. 1t was
summer time and evening. All the win
dows were open, and from every side came
scraps snd bits of music from sundry pianos,
voices and instruments. A flute walled
over the way, where The "engaged man"
lived. A voice and piano duetted where
the young married folks lived, and the
youog thing who was ''paying attentions
to the First Baptist Soprano was trying the
bass of certain touching psalms. In the
midst of it all she, the music teacher, be-
gan slumber song. Then the others paused
to listen. When she stopped there was q
little pause, and then he played Kinder
dulged in waltz. She felt better. Then
he galoped, unsteady speaking. She did
not seem to be In that mood, and she re-
piled in ga song without words" 1t was
touching. Then be played bit OF the
Moonlight Sonata. She took, and re-
piled with "Five O'Clock in the morn
ipg." The flute fellow, the young couple
and all the rest Of the nei 'hbors sat up In

listened. It was becoming interesting.
Every note could be heard. The moon
light fell through the trees, and It was gerry
calm and still. The FREELY roamed through
the garden, and the bullfrogs doomed itful-
ly. Then be played "Come, rest in this bo-
son." and some of them stuffed the sheets
into their mouths to keep from laughing.
Then there was pause, as If she did not
know what to give next. Then she played
80 fair dove, o fond love-" or music to that
effect. There was suspicion OF laughter
in the air, but the two heard it not. When
she finished, he too paused moment, and
then In a sweet and tender manner played

Some one laughed. Then somebody else
laughed. Some more laughed. A baby
woke up and cried horribly, and somebody
"shoed" It. TIL daughter filed the light
with dim. A certain window came down
with slam, and piano was heard to shut
with bang. For all that, they were mar
ried within a month-VO1 HBndn0.

The New CumberIana Presbyterian

The New Cumberland Presbyterian
Church.
One pleasing feature connected with the
new buildings in course of erection in all
parts of the city, is the fact that they are
generally first-elass in every respect-build-
ings that will compare .avor2by with those
in cities double the population Of Nashville.
This is especially the casa with the new
house Of worship nov being built on Sum-
NOR street between Church aud Broad, by
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Of
which DR.. A. J. Baird is pastor. The new
building stands upon the site of the old
church, which was torn down last fall, after
having besn occupied some forty years.
The task Of clearing away was commenced
on the LIST Of last September. But little, or
no work was done during the winter.
The frame for the new building was got
ten out at the mill in Edgefeld, which was
burned last spring. The fire occurred on
Saturday, and the erection of the frame was
to have commenced on the Monday follow
ing. As this material was all destroyed when
the mill was bu ned, delay Of three weeks
resulted, and this delay was heightened by
the visitation of cholera during the month
of June, but since that time the erection of
the building has progressed at very salts
factory rate, and when completed it VIII be
the finest church building in the city. It
is 81 feet long in the clear by Y wide, the
mean height of the ceiling being 80 feet.
TIE steeple is 1e3 feet high, and il is 60
feet from the floor line to the top of the
gable.
The building has three large entrances.
The interior is in the form OF semi circle,
the floor descending IN all directions toward
the pulpit, having fall OF five feet from the
entrances. Back of the pulpit will be seats
for the Choir, the orgin occupying
niche back of the singers and directly In
front cf the congregation. The ceiling,
which will be tinted sky-blue, win be
handsomely finished off with panels with
drop cornice supported on CorinthiaD col
uIpns, while the walls will be a beautiful
Eose color. The building will be lit by
magnificent reflector in the center, WIKI
sixty-four burners.
Complete veEtilatioa is provided for by
means of fue in one corner Of the build
ing, which opens cut into an air tight room
In the basement. In this fue stove viii
be placed, in which fire will be kept Durn-
ing both summer and winter. This will
create draft of air from the auditorium by
means of fues opening into the passage
ways. The building will cost about $35,-
600 and will be completed in November.
The work is being done by the following
named particles.
Brick work, Geo. w. Harrison; wood
work, Hughes & Morrison; rough stone
work, Callahan 81 Walsh; cut StObe, Swan

A Nuisance.

Mr.. Fulton, of the Maxwell House, and
q number of his guests complain that the
coEgregating of hacks in front of the Max
well is q first class nuisance. This is es-
peclally the case at night, when the colored
hackmen indulge in singing, playing har-
monicas, shouting at each other and telling
obscene stories to such an extent that guests
are reluctant to occupy the front rooms,
where they are kept awake at night by this
rowdyism.
Mr.. Fulton says that hacks are prohibited
from standing in front of the Maxwell, and
if he is correctly informed said ordinance
ought to be enforced.

Room for the sIagdalen.

The other day sister met her brother
for the first time since her fall from family
love and shelter, in street of indianapolis.
1t had been two years since they had seen
each other. The sight was an accident,
and would have been avoided by both If
either had had warning. The old love of
viitue and bone and home folks flashed into
the heart Of the girl like light from heaven.
She rushed to her brother with extended
hands. If he had seen the light be might
have saved her. Sympathy, to say nothing
of love, just at that moment might have
warmed her soul, and moulded her life
anew. She did not get it. he, in his
blindness. turned away, and in his dumb
ness would not speak the tone which her
heart was aching to hear. He fed from her
touch, and all her senses being denied, she
hurried to her miserable lodgings and ended
her life by poison.-St. Louis Republican.
