A SPIRITED WAGER.

A Prussian Baron, who long before the
war had marrieda Partisan lady, lately en-
tertained a number Of bis friends. At the
dessert, the elated gentleman began, as u.s.
ual, to crow over the decadence of France,
maintaining, above all, that Paris would
never recover its former standing, and that
Berlin would soon te the capital of Europe
in every respect. The lady upheld the
contrary point of view as long as she could;
but at last, losing her temper, she said, sLet
any of you give me no matter what, and
will bet you something will be made of it
in Paris, which Berlin could not do" The
wager was accepted, and next morning she
received from one of the heavy wits a gray
hair carefully boxed up. To make matters
short, the Baroness few days afterward
invited her guests to examine the artistic
use mad9 by Partisan jewelsr of the
gray hair. There was an exquisite and
costly medallion, representing the Prussian
spread eagle, in black email, holding in one
of its claws the same hair. A white enam-
el escutcheon above it bore the following
inscription: "Alsace- Lorraine, which YOU
only hold by single gray hair" 1t is stat
ed that the gentleman did not offer to make
another wager.

Another Railroad Route.

In consequence Of the steamer John Gil
more having knocked down the bridge at
GAINESVILLE, the New Orleans and Memphis
train took the Northwestern track at Nc
Kenzie, and came through this city en- roHte
for Louisville. The through trains for the
above cities on the Louisville and Nashville
and Great Southern Railroad will run over
the Northwestern road via Nashville, until
the bridge at GAINESVILLE is restored. The
draw lies across the stream and it will
doubtless incommode navigation. II will
require months time to replace the draw.
When the piers of the GAINESVILLE bridge
were building, the steamer Scotland had the
courage to run against the middle one,
knocking out large rock, but escaping
more fortunately than the Gilmore, which
boat is now somewhat like the bull that
tried to butt the locomotive off the track.

Mysterious.

About three weeks ago coat and pair
OF trousers were found hidden away in the
basement of the Capitol building. The
garments were hung up by the jsnitor, who
found them, near their place of conceal
ment. Yesterday morning he was sur
prised at finding the coat slowed away in
one of the basement windows close TO
where il had formerly hung. While he was
celebrating upon this rather strange cir
cumstance, he heard some one approaching
the window from the outside. he at once
drew the coat back inside the building,
lust as a man stopped TO get it
from the outside. The janitor was thus
enabled to get good view Of the man who
had evidently thrust it through the window
and then gone around outside to get it.
The man is described as being rather
ycung, not very large, and with beard on
his face. He wore dark coat and pair
of cray Jeans pants. Taking into consider
alton the fact of the clothes having been
Iiddln away, and then an attempt made
70 remove them in this way, it is barely
los.,ble they were intended for the use OF
one Of lie conYicts az work on the Capitol
grounds.

Another Mardi Gras Meeting To.
.a.. -t Night.

About ten O'Clock last night while the
rain was falling in musical gatherings, an
uncouth being, with the head of an owl
and silver spangled wings, entered the Del
uge Fire Company's Hall, South Cherry
street. The appearance of this being, re-
sembling in shape human, except as to
its head, created no little uneasiness among
the firemen and several others who were
present. Taking from its brazen-armed,
bosom a golden owl traced in mystic
characters the being, which was not over
twoand half feet in height, read the Or
ders of King Momus, part being to the eff
feet that the South Nashville KIewe would
meet in the Deluge Hall tonight on bust
ness connected with Mardi Gras. After
folding his scrowl and making wondrous
pyrotechnical display from bis nose and
nostrils, the unearthly imp sped from the
building and few upward into the night,
its silver wings cleaning under the blaze of
the lightning's fash. ........
The Wee Dumps are requested to meet
at their Kavern Friday, by the time of the
rising of the sekond Planet.
MEETING LAST NIGHT.
Last night large number of our citizens
met at the City Hall for the purpose oftak-
ing measures to render the Mardi Gras Gel
ebration one of attractive interest and
pleasure. The Krewe were present IN
force and much earnestness was had In the
proceedings. The Finance Committee re-
ported favorable subscriptions to the fund
and a willingness on the part of citizens to
aid the enterprise.
A motion was made aud adopted inviting
all social, benevolent and festive organiza-
tons, and other clubs in this city, to par
ticipate in the procession.
A resolution was passed requesting the
proper authorities to have tbc c. schools
closed on tie day Of The Gee lalon and
urging the Importance OF ,hc M45Ir issu-
ing proclamation asking the merchants
and business men generally to close their
stores in the afternoon and join in the pro-
cession.
Capt. Thatcher stated that he had been
offered the Post band for Mardi Gras, pro-
vided measures would be taken to render
the occasion commensurate with the pur-
poses. Capt. Thatcher made few appro-
pirate remarks in relation 10 the manner of
organizing the Krewe and the method ne
cessary to render the celebration creditable.
A vote of thanks was rendered Capt.
Thatcher for his kind interest in assisting
the Krewe and 10 the Post Commandant for
his courtesy in furnishing the music.
A committee of three was appointed to
visit the various societies and organizations
and ascertain whether they would join in
the Mardi Gras. Capt. J. M. Thatcher, W.
Matt. Brown, Hugh Heverin and Jos.
Loiseau, were constituted said committee.
Committees were appointed on printing,
music, ETC., and will report to the Krewe at
their meeting tonight, Active steps are
now being taken in the matter, and al
though this will be Nashville's first effort to
celebrate Mardi Gras, we believe its
triumph will not be inconsiderable or the
occasion be uninteresting. Every one
should join IN the undertaking and mani
fest interes! in achieving brilliant victory
for King Momus.

Some Particulars OF the Damage

- - - Sustained.
An Associated Press dispatch received
Tuesday night gives the following particu-,
lars Of the accident TO the railroad bridge
at Clarksxilie: III
Advices from GAINESVILLE, Tenn, report
that the steamer Jno. A. Gilmore with two
barges in tow while passing through the
railroad bridge over Cumberland river last
night struck the upper rest pier of the
draw, cspsizing the draw into the river.
Two bridge tenders saved themselves by
dropping through the draw on to the outer
pier. They remained on the draw for some
time but were finally recued by the lifeboat
from the Silverthorn. As the river was
very high their rescue was effected with
great peril. The Gilmore was consider
ably damaged and required constant pump.
ing TO keep her afoat. The telegraph wires
of the Pacific and Atlantic and Western
Union companies crossed the river on this
bridge and were all torn down.
