An Incident In the Life of Nick Ham
~, William Furseson's Exper-
fences in the ''Old CIO''' Line-He
Is Not Proud of HIS Success.
In answer to a question put by the court
regarding his occupation, his profession, his
vocation, his "biz," Nick Hanly, Esq, ex-
planned that he was clerk TOR the keeper of
a huckster stand, but strangely forgot TO
state whether he was chief clark or an un-
derstrappeT. The specific charge against
Nick this time was that of drunkenness and
disorderly conduct, but this accusation has
lost whatever charm Of novelty it may have
once possessed, so far as Mr.. Hanly is con-
cerned. that Individual having been b ought
before the Court SO frequently on that
charge. Hanley didn't happen to have five
dollars about his garments at tie time the
Court suggested to him the propriety of
placing that amount on deposit with the
city treasurer, and SO meandered down to
the workhouse, where he purposes remain
ing until he has earned the sum above
mentioned, at the rate of seventy-tye cents
per diem.
William Furgeson stepped slowly and
sadly into the court room in answer to his
name.
"What do you mean by going around
begging clothes and pretending they are for
YOUR brother, saying be has just died of the
cholera, and that you want to dress him de-
Gently before you put him away" inquired
the court. .....
Furgeson hung his bead in a sheepish
sort of way, and made no response, eX-
cept to stammer out that he'd been drink
ing.
"Were you drinking U hen you tried to
sell the clothes that people had given your
No reply.
A witness was then called, who testified
that Furges on had sold him some clothing
Saturday night last, and that he had met
him on the street Sunday morning with
quite large bundle of clothes which he
seemed anxious TO dispose OF.
1t was also ST. own in evidence that Fur
geson had gone to one house in his shirt
sleeves, telling the inmates, with tears in
his ewes, and a very pathetic culver in his
voice. that he had taken off his coat to
put on his dead brother, and that he
wanted to get enc for him
self. As this evidence was elected, look
of gloom was observed to pass athwart the
noble brow of the Court, and an expression
of rensive sadness to liDger about the Ju-
dicial mouth. Bending penetrating
glance upon the defendant, the Court spoke:
swell, Fargeson, don't know how low
down in the scale of morals and decency a
man can get. You had gone very low down
already, but when, in time like this, you
90 around imposing upon the people and
working on their sympathies in the way you
have done, you are getting still lower.
will fine you $50, and l am very sorry l
can't make it $500 L tell you that unless
the cholera or something else strikes you,
you'll have to work ont every dollar Of it."
Furgeson was also fined $25 on the
charge of having been drunk and disoT-

PHOTOsRAPHING A KISS.

In The neighborhood of Chiselhurst, the
other day, an ensmored pair were walking
pleasan ly along, quite unconscious of their
surroundings, and more particularly of the
fact that an itinerant photographer had
taken up his position, surrounded by an in
teresting crowd. As the swain and the
maiden took their way, what more natural
than that the former shonld imprint
chaste lutte on the pouting lips of his f ir
compani IN? What more snnOying than
that the camera should have seized them III
The act and rendered it immortal? The
hapless couple became aware OF the fact
from the loud outburst of laughter which
ran through the assemblage as the plate
was held up, and the girl at first stormed
and threatened; but, subsiding into more
reasonable mood, offered to purchase The
negative. But the photographer was IN
exorable. He was willing to sell any num-
Der of copies, but insisted upon retaining
the original.

The present cholera excitement, dnring
which people "shake" vegetables with ex-
traordinary uDanimity, is having disas-

suburbs Of the city, wao make living by
the sale of their produce. We heard yes
terdsy of one gardener who has just plow-
ed up ten thOus and fine cabbage plants
which had be- II set out and were doing
finely. He wanted the ground for some
thing which would come into market later
in the season, by which time he hopes the
sale of vegetables in our city will not be

Attention Conue,Imen,

The regular meeting of the city council
will be held at P. NJ. to-day. 1t is to be
hoped the members will be on hand prompt
ly, so that City Marshal Pitman will not be
compelled 10 go around and notify each
member that his presence is required, for
the extra duties which have been imposed
upon that ,fiicial of late have been of so
arduous nature hat he has used up two
gallant steeds and half dozen able bodied
umbrellas in his peregina'ions about the
city in the hot sun. The umbrellas were
all borrowed, however, AMI Pitman don't
propose to bring in a bill against the city on
their account.

A word For american Druggist

10 Lnc Union ana Americana
A writer in your PAPER of to-day, who
screens himself behind the nom de plume
of "American Druggist" attempts to reply
to my article of the Path, giving recipe for
ETHEREAL tincture Of valeris@, as laid down
in the German Pharmscopei. The recipe
he refers to, as given in Grifith's Formu-
larry, Is copied from the Prussian Pharma-
copGi, but Griffith does not give the Prus-
sian formula for ETHEREAL alcohol. His
(Gr'ffith's) formula for the latter is copied
from The Edinburgh Pharmacopei, and
contains one part Of ether to two of alcohol,
while the Prussian contains one part OF
ether to three of alcohol. This being so
the ETHEREAL tin ture o: valerian, made &C
cOrding to Griffith's book, Is not the Ger
man preparation, containing, as it does,
more ether and less alcohol. So that, our
well-informed american Druggist would
do well to ct a little better posted before
he appears in public print again. Every
body who read my article of the oath knows
that no mention was made of Nashville
physicians or druggists, and / am at a loss
to know how anybody could take any part
of it to himself, unless the shoe fit him. /
have no doubt but what american Drug
gist" has tried it on aud finds it perfect fit.

If any thing was lacking TO satisfy the
skepticals as TO full drawing on the 8th Of
July, Gov. BIamlette's last circular to his
agents must put all doubts to rest. All
agents are required to have their final re

tickets which they have failed to sell may
be used TO Gil tn accumulA,ing orders at

..FOr Gods sake, Give Me Morphine.'

A few years ago Mary Bufington was a
good looking, quiet and modest country
girl, living nos far from this city. Then
she fell into evil ways ard in the company
of evil associates. Her progress 10 the
downward coarse was both rapid snd GER
tain. Soon she began drinking TO drown
her remorse, and, in tie course of time,
it became no unusual thing for
her to be found upon the streets
of Nashville in a state of beastly
intoxication. Occasionally abe would
make spasmodic aud intellectual effort TO
reform her life, but the constant failures
which attended these efforts seemed to leave
than before. Then she took 10 usirg NOR
phine and for two years past, has never
been without this drug when IL was posi-
BILE for her to obtain it, aud the devices TO
which she resorts to accomplish this object
when out of funds, are credit TO her in
genuity.
At present she is serving out heavy fine
at the workhouse, and when not at work,
stands uear the door of the room where the
drugs and medicines are kept, begging and
pleading with the clerk to give her NOR
phine-morphine; drug for which she is
willing to sacrifice all her happiness in this
world, and her hope in The life to come.
The once bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked coun-
try girl has become q miserable, wretched
creature, going about the streets of Nash
vile, when not locked up at the workhouse,
draggled ard filthy, begging crust of the
charitable, sleeping here, there, anywhere
"Too wretched TO live,
Too wicked TO die"
dragging through an existence the sole at
traction of which consists in keeping her
shattered brain supplied with morphine.
Alas, poor Mary Burlington
