ADJUSTMENTS.


a tolsrably sized andiance greeted Miss
Fanny 3. Price at the Opera House last
night, when the sensational play of
''Nobody's Daughter" was presented. The
play is full of glaring inconsistencies, but
abounds in striking situations, four out of
the five acts closing with tableaux.
Miss Price took the characters Of Jennie
Nilsson, Lady Eyersleigh, and Madam
Brewer, and was well received in all OF
them, winning rounds Of applause. Mr..
Muldfuiit as Joyce Harker and Larkspur,
the Detective, made many friends, and
performed his part admirably Mr.. Hanchett
as Sir Oswald Evelsleigh, was very good.
Black Nilsson was finely rendered by Mr..
Davis, while the character of Victor Car
rington would have been fairly personated
by Mr.. Murray, had ii not been for his
STACEY manner, affected voice and extrava-
giant, tragic style. Mr.. Smiths Reginald
Eversleigh was school boy recitation, and
Miss Jamison's Lydia Graham was equally
without expression. Miss Henclett made
an immense success of the character OF
Bridget Wayinali, giving the Irish brogue
to perfection.
Miss Price is a careful, painstaking ac-
tress, who has many warm personal friends
in this city, and we trust she will be pat
ronized in manner commensurate with
her talents during her stay. Tonight the
| play of Little Barefoot will be presented.

1t affords us much pleasure TO note that a
new, enlarged, and entirely rewritten edi-
ton of the American Cylop4dia is now be-
ing issued from the press of MesSrs. ID. APP
pleton & Co., of New York. Ten wears
have elapsed since the last publication was
completed. Since then SO many events
have transpired throughout the world; so
many persona yes, of whom every one wish
es a standing record, have sprung upon
the public notice; SO many i'm
portant and interesting discoveries
and inventions have been made, that a new
cyclOp8dia is now almost a necessity. OF
course we ought to have cyclOpaiia con-
tanning the events of our civil war; We
ought to have it also to perpetuate, in con-
venient reference form, the memorable leg
islative events that have marked our his
tory since 1865, Tor those events are full of
interest to writers, speakers and thinkers,
who must all constantly have them
ready for reference. We take a
census of our population, wealth,
industry, etc, every ten years, for we are
Justly supposed so far to change in these
respects from decade TO decade, that our
status one year can be no criterionfOr what
il will be ten years later. 4 cyclop;edia is
somewhat similar. 1t is supposed to be
historic record Of events, a biography of
characters, and register of the advances
of art and science in every department. 1t
is necessary, therefore, that it should occa-
sionally be written up to the present.
This suggests that such a work ought
always to be gotten up at as little ex-
pense as is consistent with excellence and
completeness. Ii is new and happy fea-
ture of the Cyclopedia now coming out,
that it is illustrated. This will add to its
usefulness and interest. 1t is to be COM
pleted in sixteen large octave volumes,
each containing about 800 pages. Three
volumes are now ready. The others will
appear rapidly. The prices seem to us to
be moderate, and we bespeak for the series
an extensive circulation. 1t seems that
great effort has been made to render it in
every way satisfactory.

Abused Postonice EnnIoXes.

1t Is the custom to abuse the clerks and
other employees of the Postofice Depart
ment for everything that goes wrong in
connection with the mailing and transmits
sion of mail matter, but in many cases.
they are not to blame.
The writer was shown at our pOstoffice
yesterday, box of unavailable letters
which have collected in few days. Some
had no stamp on, some had one, others two
cent stamps, while others again were
stamped with match and revenue stamps.
One letter had no address on at all, and a
postal card addressed "Dear Father and
signed Robert" was in the same
unsatisfactory condition, while an
ether letter was addressed in this am
biguOus style: "Mr. Bullock, if you please,
baud this to William Anderson" The
writer OF that letter evidently thinks that
everybody knows Mr.. Bullock and the
town, county andState in which he resides.
Letters of this character are being re-
ceived every day, and of course nothing can
be done with them, but to send them to
the dead letter Office. Ii may not be gen.
orally known that stamps cut from stamped
envelopes are worthless when posted on
other envelopes. If an envelope of this
character is spoiled in being directed, it
can be exchanged at any postofice for a
three cent stamp. This is done in order to
secure the general use of stamped envel-
opes, and thus avoid the mailing of I'M
stamped letters.

Rice & Co.'S Auction sale To-Day


For several days past there has been an
immense attendance at the auction sales
which have lately been inaugurated at the
extensive and popular dry goods establish
ment of G.. Rice q Co. oil College street,
near the Square.
The are but few establishments of like
character in the South which will compare
with that of Rice & Co. in extent and COM
pleteness. Every department possible to
conceive of being component part of the
establishment in question. Mr.. Rice spends
most Of his time in New York purchasing
goods, and the other members of the firm,
who have more Immediate charge Of the
business here, are men of experience and
judgment. The result is, ''Rice's" is one
of the most popular establishments in
Nashville with not only our own citizens,
but also with the residents Of neighboring
towns.
They are now about to form new part
nership, and propose, before doing so, to
close out their entire stock Of goods, which
are Of the most desirable character. They
intend to offer az their auction sale to-day
some Of their finest goods, such as black
and colored silks, fine alpacas, handsome
dress goods, Lyons silk velyets, rich laces,
etc. Everybody in want of fine goods
should attend this sale. The sale begins at
precisely two o'clock this afternoon.

BURGLARY
One of the Perpetrators shOt-Al
Taken.


The Ripley Ne1cs of the 9Th says: On
last Sunday night three negroes, named
Henley, johnson, and Bond, broke into the
storehouse of Lea, Alexander s. Co., at
GliInpville, in this county, and distracted
between $500 and $1,000 worth Of goods,
consisting of fifteen CT twenty gentlemen's
coats, and like number OF pants, three
sides of bacon, quantity of whisky, seve-
raj bolts of calico and domestic, boots and
shoes to the number of fifteen or twenty
pairs, etc. They were from the farm Of
Isaac H. Read, in Haywood county, and
had been seen for a day or 50 lettering
about the vicinity and pretending to be on
the hunt Of a stray mule.
Soon after they left, James Barfield, the
clerk in the store, came into the store, and
finding what had happered; started in pur-
suit. He went towards Oak Grove on the
the road leading to Brownsville, and after
going about mile, overlook the raiders.
There being three of them, he pushed rap
idly ahead, and got a good crowd collected
at Oak Grove, about two miles ahead, and
oil three were captured. They tied them
securely and prepared to start with tliem to
Ripley, but omitted to take a knife from
WYATT Bond which he had in his pocket.
Finding good opportunity, Bond took the
knife from his pocket and cutting his ropes,
took to flight, his captors in close pursuit.
A young man by the name of Lijah Lake,
was the first to overtake him, and when he
came up and went to lay hands on the
fugitive, the latter turned and with the
knife which he still held in his hand, made
Il lick at Liiah Lake and cut him clear
across the abdomen and into the entrailS,
inflicting, as was then supposed, mortal
wound, The other purSuers CAME up, but
were careful not to go i'll reach OF the dead
" knife, which had already placed one of
their number hors du combat, but stand
ing off and presenting their firearms Or
dered him to surrender. The only
reply which Bond made to this was
to seize a scantling and attack his pursu-
ers. Thereupon the pursuers fired two
shots at him, one taking effect in the arm,
and the other entering the head and lodg-
ing in the brain. One of the number
picked up scantling and beat him over the
head severely. He was taken and well
secured, brought to Ripley and bound over
to answer the charge at the next Circuit
Court. Two of them were committed to
Dyersburg Jail, and the third one, the
wounded man, remains, being expected to
die almost hourly.

Horrible.

information was received here Sunday of
the finding of the dead body of a colored
woman in Bells Bend of the Cumberland,
some seventeen miles below Nashville.
Early Sunday morning Coroner Brantley
and Deputy Coroner Ryan proceeded to the
place indicated, and held an inquest, when
the following facts were elected:
The name of the woman was Jenny Sim
mons, and she was about % years old. Her
husband, Charles Simmons, brought a lot
of chickens to Nashville Saturday, and did
not reach home until after dark. AS he en-,
tered his gate, about fifteen steps from his
door, he stumbled over some object lying
in the track, but didn't stop to see
what it was. Not finding his wife in
the house, he lit a lamp and began search
for her which resulted in his discovery that
the object he had stumbled over at the gate
was the dead body of his wife. Her head
was nearly severed from her body, there
were two deep gashes in the back part Of
the head, two stabs, evidently made with a
dirk knife, in the upper portion OF her
chest, her hands were hacked, and an axe
was left sticking in her skull.
With the exception of table and acOuple
of chairs being overturned, nothing in the
house was disturbed, and sum of money,
which was in drawer, was left untouched.
No clue to the p6rpetrator, and no arrests
were made.f

Affenarafed Arson.

Joe McMurray and wife, colored, who
were married about two months ago, have
been occupying a room in the basement Of
Gen. Hickmans house on Summer, neal
Church, for several weeks.
Sunday evening, about eight o'clock, Nc
Murray became exasperated with his wife
and beat her with poker. She managed tC
get away from him, and he then set a
lighted lamp under their bed, close to the
wall, locked the door and left the house. Gen.
Hickman smelled the smoke, and sent a
colOred girl down into the basement to dis
cover where it came from. She at once in
formed him, and he broke the door open,
whereupon the flames burst forth, reaching
to the ceiling. He grasped the burning
bed and carried it out. By this time mem
bers of the Hook and Ladder Company
came to his assistance and the fire was put
ont. McMurray was arrested, taken before
Justice Everett, and bound over to await
trial before that official to-day.

The numerous kindred and friends OF
Andrew Greer Pickett throughout his ma
tive State, will read with regret of the
death of his gifted and beloved wife. Mrs.
Pickett was sister of Judge Walker and a
sister-in-law of DIR. Warren Stone, of New
Orleans. She leaves no children. The
tribute we append is from the San ATtoniO
Herald of a late date:
DIED-Oct rs, at ten minutes to II
O'Clock A. NJ, Mrs. SUSAN j. PICKETT,
wife of A. G.. Pickett, Esq, Sutherland
Springs, Texas.
Mrs. Pickett was born in Fredericksburg,
Virginia, and, as Miss Susan j. Walker, was
long and favorably known as an authoress
and teacher. Her brilliant talent, winning
and agreeable manners, as well as her
cheerful, loving disposition, made her IA
yorite with all who knew her, and there are
those in her native as well as adopted home,
who cherish the memory of many sweet
and pleasant hours of intercourse, passed in
her society. A good and useful woman has
fallen, almost in the prime of life; a, fond
nd loving wife left her husband and home
desOlate. Her brilliant intellect, partially
clouded by disease, is now perfected in
heaven. Her gloriiied spirit baskS in the
sunshine of eternal bliss.
Mrs. Pickett, as an authoress, was ad-
mired and appreciated by alltrle lovers OF
poetry. She loved to write from earliest
Youth, but that love never prevented her at
tending to the most minute affairs OF do
nestle life. Her heart was in her home,
and there, surrounded by loving friends,
she peacefully passed away. No care or
doubt troubled her dying hours. With
tboseashe loved so well-now in the heaven
" horne-she rests from her labors, and
upon her brow rests the crown OF minor
tally.
"0h, death. where is thy sting? Oh,
grave! where is thy victory"
tsJesus can make dying bed
As soft as downy pillows are,
While on his breast she leaned her head,
And breathed her soul out sweetiy there
