Sinful Siffings.


John Holman was arrested yesterday on
the charge of running wagon with
out a license.
Joe Griffith is one Of the most prOvident
of men. Becoming convinced that the APP
preaching winter will prove hard one to
the people in moderate circumstances he
resolved to prepare for it by laying in a
stock of provisions. 1t was his intention
to secure this stock of provisions gradually,
improving the opportunity when he noticed
cellar door open, or a smoke house I'M
locked to add to his store. He added a
barrel of cabbage the other day, without
taking the trouble to ask the owner there
OF, Mr.. z. Billiod, whether he could spare
the same, and now Joseph will be required
to appear before the Criminal Court, as the
direct result of the owner of that barrel of
cabbage having interviewed Justice
Everett with regard thereto.
John Hughes lacked but one thing in or
der to be able to get up a stunning toilet,
and that one thing was pair Of gold shirt
buttons. He already owns a flaming red
neck-tie and pair of yellow kids, but life
was jOyleSS to him because of his poverty
in the matter of gold shirt buttons. If this
lack were only supplied he would walk the
streets Of Nashville triumphant. Young
ladies who caught but one glance of his
symetrical form, clothed in garments of the
latest cut. his neck encircled with that
gorgeous tie, and his hands encased in those
flaming yellow kids, would give one gasp,
throw up their hands and surrender with
out struggle. This was the pleasing pic
ture INDUCED in by Mr.. Hughes when he
stole that pair of gold buttons; but it has
vanished now, for at the present writing he
sings, sin the prison cell L sit, > having been
sent down by Justice CaSSetty.

POLICE PICKLNGS.

Henry Morton, Player faster and John
Wesley are a trio of very funny cOlOred
bows. For several weeks past they have
found innocent amusement in shying peb-
les at pedestrians along Church street, and
have added variety to their performances
lately by plastering mud on the show win
dOws of Eldridges restaurant. The court
recognized these numerous juveniles as old
acquaintance, and frequent viOlatOrs Of
city ordinances, and therefore felt no COM
FUNCTIONS of conscience in sending them
down on fine of a quarter Of a hundred
each.
Joe Dibrell was brought up on the charge
of lettering around dram shops, streets and
alleys and failing to apply himself to some
ureful calling. ''IIave you a place you can
call home?" inquired the court. Il have a
room / calls mine when Use in it, respond
ed Joseph docs that room belong to
YOU, or do you own the things in it?" in
duired this earnest seeker after truth.
"Well no. it b'lOngs to Mr.. Phelps, but
stays in it once in while, and then | calls
it mine" Joseph was sent down to the
workhOusc, where he will be provided with
a room he can call his until he has worked
out a ten dollar fine.
The affair seemedt to be very much mixed.
Several darkies appeared in the courtroom
with their heads somewhat battered up,
and their eyes partially closed. Ambrose
Price stated that they all attended a very
select ball at Mrs. Hicks, who resides on
Whteside street, Hear Jefferson, Friday

Miss Williams ventured to Chide
him for his inattentiOn, wheTeupOn Mr..
Harding, to use the expressive language
of the witness, ripped and snOrted and
roared around mighty. Then the witness
stepped up and requested the unreasonable
Mr. Harding to behave himself. reminding
him that white folks never conduct them
selves as he was doing. at their balls. At
this, his son, Welles Harding, struck Price
with a rock, then his brother, George
Price. came to the rescue, and was prompt
" knocked down by Richard DemOss, who
was in turn knocked down by Price,
as soon as he could rise to his feet, after
which the fight became general. One of
the girls who testified said that as soon as
the fight began all the other girls run out
at the door and clambered out at the win
dows, she alone standing her ground. She
gave an entire different version of the affair

OUR CHURCHES.
First Cumberland Presbyterian.

The First Cumberland Presbyterian
Church was organized i'll 1881 by Rev.
Robert Donnell. The first meetings We're
held under a shed on the corner of Summer
and Broad streets, and afterwards in the
Court House. The first church house was
built in 1892, but not finished until 1885.
This house stood until last year, when it
gave place to the one now i'll process of
erection. Owing to the fact that the de
nomination was young, and a great demand
for ministerial labor, it was impossible to
supply this church all the time regular pas
toral labor The pulpit was filled for longer
or shorter periods of time by the following
ministers; but how long by each one we are
not able to say: Rev. Jas. Smith, r. c.
Hutton. 5. J. Barry, Samuel Aston, F. L.
Smith. J. c. Provine, VI. II. Bone, and
Willy NJ. Reed.
This church, up to the time Of the war.
ranged in its membership from 30 to 100.
Its membership now is the largest i'm the
city save one. The present church owes
its rapid growth and peaceful prosperity,
perhaps, to two things. Its kindly inter
course with other churches, and the energy
and activity of its young people, who COM
pose, by far, the larger part OF its member
ship.
The present pastor, DR.. A. J. Baird,
took charge of the church about the LIST of
January. 1866. At that time it had a men,
bership of 81, with a Sabbath School num-
boring - pupils. 1t now has a member
ship of over 500, the main Sunday school
having about 800 pupils. The church has
established three mission schools invariOus
portions of the city, and these have menu
bership of from seyenty-five to one hundred
each. For the past week the church has
been holding a prOtracted meeting at Me-
Kendree church, and this meeting will be
continued through the incoming week.
The following named are the elders and
deacons of the First Cumberland:
l.. II. Lanier, Y. B. Jones, d. c. Love,

cation known as the Dorcas Society, which
is doing a great deal OF good among the
poor of the city, being conducted in prac-
teal manner which reflects high credit up
on the officers OF the society.
The new church building, now about
completed, ON Summer, between Church
and Broad, is being erected. at cost of
nearly $4,000, and viii be- by far, the
handsomest church in Nashville.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Judge Kelley
prints a long letter to contradict dispatch
which asserted that 1.-The President was con-
siderably surprised at the statement put
forth, apparently with Judge kelley's sane
ton, that the two virtually agreed on fl
nancial matters" Mr.. Kelley says: ~ have

the Presidents views more accordant with
mine than l had expected to. This is true,
and. whatever may be his opinion on the
question of the issue of convertible bonds
or of the increase of currency, to neither Of
which l have attempted to commit him, it
is also true, as | know from personal inter
course with him, that he holds many Opin-
ions on paramount questions of the day
that will consistently with my past record
find pleasure in maintaining during the
coming session of Congress"
