viii Booth, the newly elected, anti-iDo-
nupoly California Senator, accept the aid OF
a free pass in his journey TO Washington?
One of our city officials is SO accomplish

tied behind his back.
aAnd yet they say man and wife are
one" growled a Nashville man last night
as he saw two holes punched in his ticket
by the conductor of Broad Street car, on
which himself and wife had taken pas
sage.
..By the way, who is the author of that
sentiment, Distance lends encbantment TO
the viewg suddenly inquired Nashville
young lady Of Il very prosy youth whose
evening call was extending far into the
night. The latter thought there might be
hint concealed in the question, and took
his departure.
The St. Louis police are in sad way.
They were provided recently, with new
whistles of complicated and intricate de-
sign, and notwithstanding the fact that
every mothers son of them is an accom-
plished musician, they can't blow those
whistles.
Cincinnati bloods amGse themselves by
congregating about the street corners where
they catch young girls as they pass and
throw them up in the air, While policemen
stand and look on with interest.
A member of the Board of Common
Council remarked, yesterday, that it is pro-
posed by that body to exclude reporters
from its sittings. Don't do it gentlemen
please don't.
A real nice young man of this city is try
ing TO secure lodgings under a sleeping
room occupied by other persons. He
assigns as reason, the fact that he can
then sleep under their bed clothing and
save expenses as he furnishes his own bed.
The Nashyillian who rose with the lark
yesterday morning and wandered forth,
could not fail to observe that the practical
jaker had been abroad the night previous,
lEls many gates had been removed from their
hinges. A massive brain, and keen sense
of the ludicrous are required for the con-
ception and carrying into effect of such stu
pendous jokes.
There are twenty-four churches south Of
Church street, and only four north of it.

A COiInle of Hires.

About O'Clock, Thursday night, stable
in an alley just north Of the Central Bap-
fist Church, and used by Gennett, Of Gen
nett d Co.. was discovered to be on fire.
The fire engines were on hand promptly
but the building, with S25 worth of feed,
was DESTROYED. Total loss 500. Ii is sup
posed the building was FIIIgsely fired.
Before the engines had returned to their
quarters. the alarm bells were again
sounded, this time in consequence of the
discovery Of flames in the rear of McCul-
Tough, Hagar & Co.'S drug store, on College
street, between Cedar and Deaderick.
Owing to the situation of the building and
the location of the fire, considerable diff
ficulty was experienced in getting the en-
cines to work after they reached the
ground The front door was finally
broken open and tie house was
carried back through the haiidine, but be-
fore tie flames could be subdued about two
thirds of the building (Which is 100 feet
deep.) had been destroyed, and the goods
were injured to such an extent that they
will doubtless prove a total loss. The stock
was estimated at from $4,000 TO $4,000,
on which there is insurance to the amount
of 5000 as follows:
LOYAL, OF Liverpool. Nelson agent. .SZ,JOO
State, OF Nashville. .............. 5000
Merchants, OF Louisville. ......... 1900
The house is owned by Mr.. Baird, post
master at Columbia, and is insured in the
following companies:
Franklin, Of Ihila., Peck X Cahill. ST. 900
Georgia Home, " e. 800
Eia-l.r, Claiborne y Penncbakcr. 900
the insurance Hron nave Sian,iIal their
intention to pay the loss without delay.
The proirictoTs of the establishment are
at a loss to account for lie fire. They say
they were in and out of the store during
the day, but did no business to speak OF,
and closed up at six o'clock in the evening,
at which time they think there was no fire
Ia the stoves. 1t is impossible to estimate
the damage done the building at this
time.

MAGAZINES.


The Go,uay for January, 1871, is an ey-
ceptionally good number; indeed it attaius
the very acme of excellence. The follow
ing are the principal contents: "The Duke
of Argyll" Views Abroad" sIIinouistic
and Literary Notes and Queries and ssMr.
Black to Mr.. Adams 'sThe WethereI
Affair" closes with the SD chapter. "Sin-
ley ROCKFORD" reaches chapter X. The
Scientific Miscellany is unusually full and
interesting. Judge Blacks open letter to
Mr.. Charles F. Adams, is Il reply to Mr..
Adams memorial panegyric on the late
VIM. IL. Seward. Mr.. Adams gave Seward
the praise of being the greatest of Ameri-
can statesmen-the Pericles of the Repub-
lie. Judge Black utterly routs MIR. Adams
from all those positions which he had
taken with the greatest confidence
in their napproachablenesS, and cuts him
entirely off from ever regaining them or OBJ
tanning any munitions for defense. In
doing this he has incidentally laid bare the
true character of Mr.. Seward, which is now
before the world an unobScured spectacle,
either to be pitied or despised. Judge
Blacks letter has never been surpassed in
our language for native vigor and force of
thought, and viewed in connection with our
political history, it is likely to have an i'm
portant bearing, and may lead to results
that are now scofied at. As vindcation
of law and order, it stands flaming sword
before the fanatical aggressions Of the Abo-
litionists, whose contemplate meddIing
has not yet ceased. Who will defy it?
Who shall say that truth has not placed il
there to flash CLEANS of light into The dark
ness Of error? Published by Sheldon & CO.,
New York.
The old and Neao for JANUARY has very
excellent articles. The principal are:
''The Way we Live Now" "a Civil Ser
yant;" 'The Boston Tea Party" and '.Wall
Street and the Crisis The last named is
superior production. 1t is about the most
philosophical view of Wall street, that we
have seen among the many theories,
which have been set up about that notori-
Gus place. 1t takes the position that Wall
Street is not the rotten centre of a sound
country. Edward +. HaleS' (the editor'S)
story of ''Civil Servant" is good. Mr..
Hale would make better magazine if he
were to substitute such productions as this
for his political editorials, which, for parti-
sanship, are hardly surpassed By the COM
monest newspapers in the country. 1t i'll
becomes magazine to surrender its indie
pendence in this way. Otherwise, the
Old and NeiC is an excellent periodical,
and is fully worth the subscription price,
which is $500. Published by Roberts
Brothers Boston.

DISTINCTIONS IN SOCIETY.

The Jgcksoa Courier discusses this
question at length. In the close Of its
article we find the following:
We tolerate and admit into our fam
lies too manypersons whose regulations
are s0iled, who have been guiltyof gross
moral delinquencies, who have not
within them the germ OF pure honor,
who outrage the moral law, who utterly
ignore the Bible and its teachings, who
devote themselves to idleness and dis
sipation, and who are grossly deficient
in that regard for veracity, which
marks the conduct Of every real gem
tleman. All such countenance and
recognition of bad men, tends to under
mine the social fabric and corrupt So
ciety. One who is known to he dishOn-
est. ought not to be admitted to the So
cial circle. He should be banished
therefrom by social barriers as COM
pietely impossible as that great gulf
which separates the everlasting regions
of despair from the radiant abode Of
pure souls. If ever we hope to recon-
struct the social system from the ter
rible blow it received during the
late war, we must draw and pre-
serve line of social de-
narration between good and bad
people. Thus we will reform many
who have strayed into forbidden paths,
and set an example which VIII influence
the rising generation to become good
men, and thereby obtain key TO social
iatercoursc with refined and pure per-
sons. 1t requires no force or violence
to cxpel unworthy persons from social
intercourse. The ''cold shoulder" is all
that is necessary.
Let society, therefore, and especially
refined and Christian ladies, set about
this work Of social reconstruction. The
late war leveled the social barriers rather
too much. Let us rebuild those bar
riers. The cause Of morality, virtue,
and christianity all demand it.

Col. T. Lee Wilkinson, the Mayor of
Franklin, Kentucky, was married at the
Baptist Church in that place on the 18th
inst. to Miss Nettie Fuqua. The nuptial
day being Christmas, it was thought fitting
to introduce novelty into the ceremony,
and, accordingly, two little girls, Misses
Dixie Lannon's and Bette Boisseau,
dressed very uniquely, were the sole at
attendants of the couple at the altar. The
assembled friends Of the betrothcd were
much amused when lie little maids led
the way down the aisle and took their
places. The groom and bride took tie cars
Immediately for this city, and are now

4 NAUGHTY ROY.

\ Lincoln county hoy Of the most mis-
ChIyiOuS stamp, borrowed a stuffed Wild
cal, the other day, and deposited it on his
grandmothers bed just before the old lady
retired for the night. The hea!tless young
scapegrace then sought his own couch 10
await the dea0Haeat which he knew would
follow; but ne hal barely slid in between
The sheets before the whole household was
aroused by succession Of shriekS and
screams proceeding from his unfortunate
relatives room. While the real author OF
all this connection was chuckling in his
shirt sleeve, the other members Of the fam
lily rushed into the old lady's SleepingapaTt-
ment, just in time to see a venerable te-
male in white spinning around on the top
Of bcdpOst, like a weather-vane in a high
wind; while a savage looking animal, stiff,
grim, and apparently warlike, was glazing
at her from behind the bolster. All hands
retreated from the room, slamming the
door behind them, but not forgetting 10 adj
mOnIsh the old lady through the key-hole
that she had better remain where she was.
At this iuncturc the shaking of the bed
caused the stuffed "vaImnt" to tOpple over
and the abOminablc trick was exposed
An investigation Immediately ensued,
which disclosed the malicious cUlprit. and
that precOciouS urchin was summarily
snatched from his bed by his indignant
father who thrashed him with the handle
of a corn -pOper until the first faint flushes
Of the morn appeared on the eastern hOri-
FdyctterWe Express.

About 10 o'clock last night, the editorial
rooms Of the MON AND AMERICAN were
invaded BY Mr.. Gus Jonnard, the popular
steward st Linck Hotel, who was followed
by a stout waiter bearing large tray con
tanning a generous lunch. This he proceeded
to spread in a very tempting manner, say
ing that he was acting under orders received
from Mr.. Linck. When Inc hal his ''mat-
ter" arranged to silt him, he invited the
pencil waSters to fall to-" which injunc-
ton was obeyed without a moments hest
tation. and ,or g half an hour thereafter the
rattle of knives and forks, the popping OF
champagne bottles, and similar unwonted
noises, disturbed the usual quietude of the
room.
Linck Is a generous proyider, and an ex-
Gelient juGge Of what constitutes first-class
lunch. Nay he continue to prosper.

There are people who are said to have
mo ear for music | wish l hadn't had
any on Christmas. Would any one dare TO
make rough guess as to the number of
Tin horns, drums and haImOnicaS that fig
Urcd at the musical Jubilee held in this city
Thursday morning commencing at O'Clock
\. N. with no definite time set for the
close.
Tho reason children from one TO ten
years of age prefer these musical iIstITI-
ments to any other, is because an amateur
can play Just as we'll as professor, if not
better. I'm order to play OH a tin horn all
a boy has to do is to hold the instrument
on level with his mouth, then fill his
body aud mouth with wind, and simply let
the wind through the horn till its red all
over and as hct as lire-nothing more Sim
pie. In manipulating Il drum boy needs
muscle, but ih6y always have enough for
the sized drum they carry, and only a h0ri-
zoutal movement of tie ann is necessary TO
bring ont their hidden beauties, as the
drum is suspended from the neck 10y a cord;
the arms have full swing and it does not
tire a boy Of four years as much as holding
a harmOnican up and drawing it from one
side of his mouth to the other with see
saw movement. The column of sound is
somewhat affected blythe size OF the mouth,
but boy will do Just as well as a man ior
that. SCoTHIE.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Man Attempts to Murder His Whole
Family.

fauil1ys
From the jackson, (Tenn.,) Herald, Dee. "a.
A terrible tragedy wGs recently enacted
near Steam Mill Ferry, on Hatche river, in
this county, A man by the name of Matt
Glidewell, with his wife and children were
living Oh the farm Of Mr.. Ed, Mullins,
where the horrible deed was perpetrated.
Glidewell, who is in the habit OF drinking
to INVESTIGATION, went home on the day the
crime was committed, in fit Of deijrinR
treneRS. and becoming infatuated 81 his
wife struck her over the head with a gun
which he held in his hands, inHicting a
horid wound, which bled profuscly and it
is thought will prove fatal. Having NOR
tally wounded his wife, as he thought, he
then struck one of his children, Il little girl
Of nine or ten years, with the same weapon.
inflicting painful but probably not serious
wound This done, he drew knife and
signified his intention Of cutting thethroats
of each of his family, whercupon
the little girl who had been
struck, seeing her mother covered with
blood, rushed from the house for the pur-
pose Of seeking assistance. At some dis
lance she discovered nGiohbOr named
Gibson, who was hunting, and, having at
tracted his attention, told him that her
father had cut her mothers throat and had
tried to kill her. Mr.. Gibson made haste
to get to the house, but before he arrived,
was discovered by Glidewcll, who advanced
upon him with an open knife. Gibson re-
treated several hundred yards, with Glide
well in hot pursuit, refusing to stop; where
upon Gibson raised his gun and fined at
Glidewell, the shot taking effect in his left
side and shoulder, bringing him to the
ground. After Glidewell received the
wound Inc fell into a dormant state, which
lasted for some time. Having recovered
from his stupor, he not only forgaye Gibson,
but remarked hat .ahe only thing Inc re-
gretted was that he didn't bill him on tbs
spot" DR., Robinson was called in to al
tend 10 the wounded persons. He thinks
that Mrs. Glidewell is mortally wounded,
while Glidewell and his little daughter will
recover. 1t is thought that Glidewell would
have killed his whole family, being only
deferred from the hellish deed by the time
ly appearance of Mr.. Gibson.
