The WdUerly Journal has put its foot
into it, and the Springfield Record should
demand the biggest and latest buck that
can be captured in Humphreys county in a
weeks hunt, as indemnity for slandering
the good people of old Robertson. Says the
Journal:
A party of gentlemen from Robertson
county, Tenn, numbering thirteen, spent
last week in hunting the wild deer i'll our
county, and were camped at the head OF
Trace creek, near McEwen's station. We
understand they had quite a lively time,
and enjoyed themselves muchly. The fol
lowing, purporting to be from one OF the
above named gentlemen, whose name we
will not mention, to his brother in Nash
vile. a whisky dealer, was picked up at
McEwen, and handed us by a friend, with
the request that we publish the same,
which we give verbatim, for what 1t is
worth:

SinfuI Strings.

Francis ellis is fraction of the L. 5.
army, but it is quite evident that he is not
so brave a man as he ought to be, for he
was fined five dollars yesterday morning
for aSsaulting a woman. Shakespeare
wrote some very touching lines regarding
the moral status of the man who is base
enough to Law his hand upon woman,
save in the way of Kindness which lines
Mr.. ellis is advised to paste in his hat to
read and ponder upon during his moments
of leisure and relaxation.
'Drunk, ten dollars So runs the police
record for yesterday morning, in the case
of a woman, who, a few years ago moved
in the best society of Nashville. Less
than half dozen years ago she was mar
ried to the man of her choice, under the
most favorable circumstances, and earnest
friends predicted for her, life of useful
ness and happiness. For a time all was
right and pleasant. Her husband occupied
high social position, was known as
a prompt, reliable. energetic business man,
and commanded the respect and confidence
of all who had dealing with him. But
change cOmes-gradually, though surely.
The fair young wife contracts a love for
strong drink. and soon she is treading that
DdJll WHICH, ltduo W pOIoltlOh'
friends, home. social position, bright pros
pects-all, all are surrendered, and in due
time she is found consOTting with others as
hopeless and despairing as herself. Drunk,
and fined ten dollars. How this poor crea-
ture would have started back in horror on
that fair bridal day could she have pene-
trated the mystery of the future, and seen
those words written opposite her name in
the Nashville police records on the 18th
day of November 1873. Drunk, and fined
ten dollars, How earnestly the mother
who bore her would have prayed
to the plying Father above to have taken
her to Himself in the happy days of her
childhood, could she have had the faintest
intimation of the terrible future which
awaited her daughter. Drunk, and fined
ten dollars If that husband who won the
affections of this unfortunate woman in the
DAYS of her innocence and beauty could
have foreseen the degraded position which
would be hers in the coming years OF the
near future, how he would have striven to
avert the dreadful fate which is hers to-day.
But there may be better days in store for
this woman, who, having stood so high, has
fallen so low. While there is life there is
hope. and an earnest resolve to reform may
lead TO a restoration of at least a portion OF
the happiness which made her former life
so bright and joyous, and it may be that
her name, with the words "Drunk-ten
dollars" appended thereto, has been written
for the last time. ...- --.

The Ornhans remembered.

A happy party of little folks assembled at
the residence of Thos. Calender, Spruce
street. Friday night last, where the evening
was spent happily, and the results OF which
will also gladen the hearts OF others to a
considerable extent. A short time since
some of the little girls in the neighborhood.
conceived the idea of having tableaux, each
visitor to pay ten cents, and the amount
raised TO be forwarded to the manager of
the Protestant Orphan Asylum, to be APP
propriated in the way Of Christmas pres
ents for the little orphans. The programme
was carried ont as designed, and the sum of
Sl3.S5 was the proceeds of the entertain
ment. Mrs. John Meadors of1iciated in
training the children in their parts, or in
other words Nbossed the business" and the
delightful manner in which the entertain
ment passed of, reflects credit upon the
teacher of the young idea Let the enter
tainment be repeated.

Deatl, Of Robert HI. sIcEwen.

Robert II. McEwen shot and killed him
self at the residence of his mother, on
Spruce street, at two o'clock yesterday after
noon. The shooting was done with pis-
tol. the ball taking effect in the head, di-
rectly in front of the right ear. Drs. Atch-
ison and KerchevM were Immediately sum-
moned, but they saw at a glance that the
wound was fatal, although death did not
take place until about five o'clock, up to
which time, after the firing of the fatal
shot, he was entirely unconscious. His
wife and children were with him at the
time of his death.
There can be no doubt but that the act
was premeditated, as Mr.. McEwen had
made arrangements for a brother lawyer to
attend to certain cases i'll which he was in
terested. and which were set for trial next
wednesday, he having remarked yesterday
forenoon that he would not be here to at
tend the trial Of those cases at the time
named.
No reason has been assigned for the rash
act committed by Mr.. McEwen, and the en-
tire community was shocked when the dis
tressing occurrence was made known. The
deceased graduated with high hOnors at
Princeton College nearly twenty years
AGO. and when he entered upon the
duties of his profession, the law,
he started out with a most promising
future, his practice being large and lucra-
tive He amassed a handsome property,
and about the commencement of the war
was in easy circumstances, when mistor-
tune overlook him, crushing as it were his
hopes and ambition. He was ever noted
for his kindness of heart and generosity,
and his purse was always open to his
friends, with whom he would have divided
his last cent. His many excellent traits OF
character will ever be remembered by those
who were his intimate associates, and his
memory will live in the hearts of those who
knew and appreciated his generous nature.
Peace to his ashes.
The funeral services will take place at
IL O'Clock tomorrow from the residence OF
Mrs. McEwen, on Spruce street. Services
by Rev. 7 A. H0yt.

ports that he knows of number of others
who are on their way from Louisville to
Nashville, and who are travelling on foot,
being too poor to pay railroad fare and hay-
ing no funds to pay their way after they get

tion is exercised in examining the trucks
of cars in order to prevent these men from
stealing rides by slowing themselves away
on the trucks.
A police officer stated yesterday that sew

ried his wife and children to st. Louis, be-
cause of his inebriated condition The

was safe in the calaboose and that he would
be shipped to st. Louis on the midnight
train. as he would doubtless be sober
enough to take care of himself by that
time. At the hour indicated he was escort
ed to the depot, put aboard the train, and
probably reached his family all right.

You shall press the pillow where all have lain.

covered several ties piled up on the rack
between Spring Creek and Cedar Hill, and
