POLICE PICKINGS.

David Reed, colored, whose Dame is des-
tined to be handed down to posterity as the
author of the now famous Injunction
Z" Don't you forgit it." was before the court
charged with having used vulgar and
abusive language in front of the city resi-
dence OF Mrs. S:umpf, colored female
well known to onr police authorities. A
Witnes testified that Mrs. Stumpf had Just
killed chicken and was standing in front of
Ter door holding 1t inher hand (the chicken,
not the docr), when old "Souf Car'lina,"
otherwise Mr. Reed came up. "Well, old
woman, is that ar chicken fur meme and
your breakfast" he inquired in a ocular
sort ola way. To this salutation, Mrs.
Stumpy responded with, "Git out o. this,
you old buzza'd." The witness asserting
that this was i there was of it, the court
dismissed the case.
Anthony Ball, colored, was found sitting
in front of an Office on College street, Sun
day morning, in decidedly salubrious con-
dition. Mr.. Ball was not only drunk, but
was also patriotic, and was not only drunk
and patriotic, but was also disorderly, en-
deavo;ing to attract attention by exclaiming
"Im an Abe Lincoln man and them what
don't like it, car sEaller it." The five dol
lar bill which Mr.. Ball handed over to
the court as fine, would have suf-
feed to purchase q much better
hat than the one he now wears.
If all the ornaments which decorated the
graceful (and colored) figure of Caroline
Hurd when she answered to her name, had
been OF pure gold, they would have cost
several hundred dollars, but as they were
OF brass, they probably didn't cost more
than two or three dollars and half. The
gorgeous Mrs. Hurd was accused of using
bad language, although it seemed impossi-
bic that the happy possessor of so much
JeWelry conlt be guilty Of such an offense.
The evidence, however, fully established
the fact that she bad INDUCED in ''cursory
remar s" ID an undue extent. Five dollars.
Mrs. Polly Fox said that she was not
guilty of the offanse charged against her
that OF making an assault upon Miss Smcth-
ers. She admitted afterwards, however, to
having thrown dipper of water upon Miss
Smothers, and to have struck her over the
head with the empty dipper, but claimed,
as pslllation Of her offsnse that her teeth
"wss achin' fit 10 bust her head" and
that she had charged every one in the house
to keep quiet. Mrs. Polly left $3.50 in the
hands of the court and then proceeded
homeward, taking her aching teeth with
her.
Kate Smith and Tiney Clsxton were &C.
cused of the trifing offense of being drunk
AMI disorderly. The latter objected to the
testimony of one of the witnesses, an indi-
vidual with skating rink on the top of his
head, on the ground that he had served
term in the penitentisry, for having "bit
Mr.. Turner's fear oe, when she was little
GAL" The witness was ruled out, but this
did not save Claxton, who was fined $40,
Smith Being DISCHARGED

A Light Fingured FemaIe.

a h8 nS EIDStECW CA1"ACs
Sunday afternoon Mollie Britton, white
woman 81 years of age, was arrested by the
police, to whom she was well known, hav-
ing frequently been arrested on the charge
Of larceny.
An ordinary sized trunk was found In
her possession, well filed with heteroge-
nous collection of stuff, evidently stolen
property. Among these articles were bolt
of domestic, containing fifteen yards, eight
yards of tatting, several yards of
White lace, several dress patterns,
black silk dress, a lady's workbox, some
shells, pocket book with three Eairs sleeve
buttons in it, fancy box With some glass
earrings and breast pin, white crspe
shawl, ere. She had on her fingers three
gold rings which may have been stolen. An
album identified as the property of r. b.
Gordon, WIS also found 10 her possession.
The owners OF tina above named articles,
and any others found in the trunk, will be
put in possession of the same upon proving
property. The trunk and contents are at
Capt. Yater's Office.
This woman is confirmed kleptomani-
&C, her plan of operation being to obtain
ingress to house by claiming that she is in
search of employment, representing that
she is the mother of bel less family of
small children. She asks fol cold victuals,
where she is refused employment, and if
being left in the room alone, def'ly
"absorbs" such articles SO she sees lying
around loose, and skillfully hides the same
under her shawl. She is a dark locking
woman, of medium size, and our citizens
will do well TO look after her. At present
she is safely lock ID up in the workhouse.

Medical Meeting To.Ntrht.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Medical Society will be held in the Lewis
Block, corner of Summer and Church
streets, at eight o'clock tonight.
Sanitary reforms are occupying large
share of popular attention in New York and
other cities, and it is time Nashville through
her medical faculty should Iouse herself and
look to her condition. The question of
how to live among aud enjoy all the condi-
lions of modern civilization and not be hurt
by them, is one Of the great problems of
the age. As q result of modern activity
and progress, have sprung up densely
crowded cities and populous districts whose
birthright it is to generate elements capable
at any time of combining and producing
poisons which scourge the human race.
With the outbreak and rapid transit Of
cholera from continent to continent, came
the. birth of sanitary science, which has de-
veloped into glorious boon to the human
family, and is capable of modifying, check
ing, and staying the rsVages of fatal cpl
denies.

ATTEaIPT I'D MURDER.

A correspondent of the Maysville (Tenn.)
Republican writes as follows: An attempt
was made on Thursday, July %, to muir
der the wife of Mr.. Thomas Stewart, OF the
fifteenth civil district OF Knox county, near
the Sewer line. On the day before strange
man came TO Mr.. Stewards house and in
quired for Mr.. s., who had gone to Knox
vile. The man requested Mrs, Stewart to
tel! her husband to be ct home the next
day, as e would come to see him then.
The same evening the unknown man came
to the house again, but Mr.. Stewart had
not yet arrived. On the following day
Mrs. Stewart went to the spring, and found
the strange man there. When she dis
covered him there, she Immediately halted;
be then told her to come on and get her
water, that he would not hurt her. but
Mrs. Stewart becume alarmed at his man
ner, and dropped her bucket and ran to-
ward the house, the man running after her
and catching her before she had gone far.
He caught her by the throat and undertook
to stab her, cutting her dress on her left
breast, aud also cut her right arm, just
grazing the skin. By almost superhuman
exertions, Mrs. Stewart freed herself from
his grasp and escaped 10 the house, the
would-be murderer shouting to her as she
ran that he would kill her and Mr.. Stewart
yet. Persons are in pursuit Of the william.

We'd with the other in friendly contest for
the smiles of the charming ladies who
grsced the ball.
At IL P. NJ. precisely supper was an
nounced and the 'fgallsnt companie'' moved
to the dining-room below, where 0 feast ft
for "EpicQrus" himself met their astonished
gaze. Long tables decorated with hinge pyra-
mids of cake, eonfecsions, ices, etc, and
elsborately Crnamented with fruits and
flowers, fairly groaned beneath tie delicious
burthen. Without further ceremony the
happy guests "fell to" and amid the clatter
of knives and forks the merry jest went
round and hi.ar ty ruled the hour. The
baDquet over, many sought their ''little
beds" and the more ardent votaries of the
'light fantastic toe" returned to the ball
room, where, with "twinkliDg feet" they
danced the glowing hours away
ftAnd each was 80 happy and all were 30 fair
That the night stole away and the dawn caught
them there"
The grand dress ball st Beersheba was g
pronounced success, and all agree with
wonderful unaDimlty that t. Q toiIettes dis

refer to it in after years when she becomes
