IHe District Court Once More.

Mr.. Henry, the member Of the House
from this county. has handed us for pub
lication printed copy of an Act, to be
presented tothe Legislature, the object of
winch is to revive the District Court, which
has been in a state of suspension since the
decision of the Supreme Court last July,
in the quo 1rGrrcut0 proceeding Of J. x.
Hite against George I. Swank. Tho Act
will be found in the local department of
our paper. If the District Court is 70 start
out in its career for the third time, there is
no man within the limits of its jurisdiction
whose rights of person and property may
he affected by It's decisions, who ougEtnot
to desire, ol. rather demand, that it shall
stand Oh firm and impregnabie legal
foundation. Without this requirement is
first assured, that court can never possess
the con fdeNce Of the people, without which
any court of Justice IL an unnitigatcd curse.
The fatal defect in-this proposed Act OF
Assembly is the assumption that tho pres
ent Judges of the Court have an uudouLtod
legal existence. But the Supreme Court
in the case of Hite We. Svank, above re-
ferred to, decided the very reverse. Tho
opinion of the court in that case was de-
livered 10y Judge Agnew, who said
''In order to prevent the disastrous con-
sequences resulting from tho acts Of an
unauthorized tribunal, it is proper we
u also add, that acE Sc, 10 duNorftg to
s court 6y arg judges Raci5.q la,sttsI
SONS, and that without further leg
y the most careful and H0ro,.gh
ACt Of 1863 cannot be carried in
missions of tho Judges Of tho
District Cour were 1lnlaarfa in July last,
rs Judge Agnew says they were, has any
thing occurred since to make them Iarft.I
now. The Supreme Court seems to think
that the Court might be resurrected, but
the remedy now proposed will not answer
that purpose.
Mr.. Henry is asked by tho gentlemen
who prepared this bin, to pass it through
the Legislature and thereby admit that the
District Court is legal tribunal, and that
too in the very face Of the decision of the
Supreme Court, which declared that tho
Court had no legal existence at all. VIII
the Legislature commit an act of s,cb .aIf-
qualification? We think not, and we ais,
think that it ought not to be asked to do
SO. Why not begin this business at The
y1ght place, instead OF thus complicatip.,
the matter, which will be certain Ia eni
disastrsusly? Those, however, who seem
10 have the District Courts infrmity T,e
elliarly i'll hand have seen fit to pursue the
present method, and with them must rest
Lle responsibility.

ADJUSTMENTS.

NASHVILLE OPERA House. Mrs. Bow
ers was greeted last evening with the best
audience of the week Every seat was
filled. and many ladies not being able to
find places in the dress circle, had to take
seats in tie parquette. The play OF East
Lynne abounds in thrilling interest, and
from first to last was witnessed with wrapt
attention by the large audience. In the
characters of Lady Isabel and Madame
Vine. Mrs. Bowers acquitted herself most
creditably, and during the last act, many
nresent were affected to tears. While we
DO not think that she is as well suited to
characters ofthis kind as that OF Mary
Stuart and Elizabeth, the success achieved
last evening shows her to have dramatic
talent equal to the emergency, and ready
to take up any character within the range
of the legitimate drama.
As Sir Francis Levison Mr.. McCullom
was particularly happy last night, and by
his rendition, delighted the audience.
Frank Evans is better suited to a character
that slnacks of high tragedy thantO persona
ton of Archibald Carlyle. but still he ae-
Quilted himself quite well. Misses Agnes
Proctor. Ada Gilman, Lizzie Anderson and
Molie TAYLOR, were well up in their parts.
and contributed much to the success of the
play.
Tonight is the farewell benefit of Mrs
Bowers when will be presented Marie
Artoinette, piece that ought to and
doubtless will attract large audience.

Regular ParturitiOn.

There is, in South Nashville a family, in
connection with which peculiar phenom-
enon has been observed. The junior
membership consists of nine children. The
peculiar phenomenon is that the first seven
of them were born on consecutive days of
the week. Thus: if the eldest is named
John, and if John was bonn on Monday;
then the next younger was born on Tues
day, the next on a Wednesday, the next on
a Thursday and so on. The strangeness OF
this orderly method of parturition is in
creased by the fact that the eighth child
was born on the next day in order to that
which witnessed the advent Ofthe seventh
child, t. e., on the same day that John, the
eldest, was born. Nor is the strangeness
diminished by the fact that the ninth came
only one hour too early for his day. Long
may they live to enjoy the fruitiOns of this
terrestrial ball and when they come to de-
part this life, may they go out in the same
order, in which they entered.

Supervising Architect Mullet, in his re-
port to the Secretary of the Treasury says:
u desire to call attention TO the fact that
the appropriations for the erection OF the
proposed new public buildings at Nashville,
Tenn. are not sufficient, and
that it is impossible to comply with the
restrictions on their cost, except by erect
ing buildings inadequate in size and I'M
suitable for the purposes intended. The
cost of buildings cannot be reduced below
the actual market value of the material and
labor necessary to furnish the required ac-
commOdations; and it appears to me um-
lust to hold the department responsible for
the cost of public buildings when the limi-
tatiOns on their cost are fixed without
proper information of the necessities OF the
case, and in advance Of the preparation
of estimates, or when the cost has
been restricted to a sum much less than the
estimates submitted therefor, which have
been prepared after a careful investigation
of the necessities of the public service, the
material available and the cost OF the same.
As an illustration, the limitation on the
cost of the proposed building at Nashville,
Tenn. is less than One-half Of the lowest
estimate that could justly be made Tor any
building that would answer the purpose,
and but little more than one-third OF the
cost of such a building as should be erected
in that city An appropriation was first
made for this building in the year 1886,
but no action was taken beyond the pJlr-
chase of lot, which was so entirely I'M
suitable. both in size and location, that it
was exchanged in 1870 for large aud de-
-sirable piece of property, which the Gov
eminent now owns. | recommend that all-
thoritv be obtained to expend reasonable
amount Of money, and that provision be
made for the commencement of this neces.
sarv and very important structure.

KEEP THE LEGS AND FEET WARM

During the damp and cold season,
the legs should be encased in very thick
knit wooden drawers, the feet In thick
wooden stockings (which must be
changed every day, and the shoe soles
must be as broad as the feet when full
" spread, so that the blood shall have
free passage. If the feet are squeezed
in the least, the circulation is checked,
and GOODNESS is inevitable. This free
circulation cannot be secured by a loose
upper with a narrow sole. Ii, when the
foot stands naked on sheet Of paper,
it measures three and half inches, the
sole must measure three and half.
I will suppose you have, done all this
faithfully, and yet your feet and legs
are cold. Now add more wooden, or If
you are to travel much In the cars, or IN
a sleigh, procure pair of chamois-skin
or wash-leather drawers, which L have
found to be most satisfactory.
have known a number OF ladies
afflicted with hot and aching head, and
other evidences of congestion about the
upper parts, who were completely re-
lieved by pair of chamois-skin draw
ers and ad-soled shoes. Three ladies
in every four suffer from some conges-
ton in the upper part of the body. 1t
is felt in the fullness of the head, in
sore throat, in palpatation of the heart,
torpid liver, and in many other ways
II is well known that a hot foot bath
will relieve for the time being " and
all of these difficulties. This bath
draws the blood into the legs and
feet. relieving the congestion above.
What the hot foot bath does for an
hour the broad-soled shoes with thick
wooden stockings, and pair of flannel
drawers, with. a pair of wash-leather
drawers added, will do permanently.
Of course, I am speaking of cold
weather. No one hesitates to multiply
the clothing about the trunk; why hes
tate to increase the clothing about the
LEGS? AS a preventive of many COM
mon affections about the chest, throat,
and head, including nasal catarrh,
know nothing so effective as the dress
of the lower extremities which ! am ad-
vocatlng.
The bath is a good thing, exercise is
a good thing, friction is good thing,
but after all our main dependence IN
this climate must ever be, during the
cold season, warm clothing. Already
we overdo this about our trunks, but
not one person in ten wears clothing
enough about the legs and feet.

FIN IN a NAME.

A writer of Notes and Queries has
made collection of singular names,
which if published some years ago,
might have saved Dickens and Balzac
some trouble. Dickens, as is well known,
was very peculiar about the names of
his characters, and was a month often
in suiting himself. The felicity of
some of them well repays the pains
taken. His works are a perfect cabinet
Of nomenclature. Balzac was equally,
if not more scrupulous. 1t is said that
hewandered about the streets reading the
signboards to find names TO suit his
characters. The writer IN Notes and
Queries has certainly gotten together
a comical collection. Here are Mr..
Allchin and Mr.. Appleyard; Mr.. By
thesea and Mr.. Bytheway-probably a
forgetful gentleman = with Messrs.
Baay, Barefoot, Butler, Bellhanger,
Christmas, Camomile, Cutbush, for
ist; Cobbledick, who should be shoe
maker; Death, Deadman, Drawwater,
Drinkwater, members of the temper
ance society, and Drinkall, who be-
lieves in Anacreon. Eyes, Eatwater,
Costing, Gray, Goose, Gotobed, Ghost,
Handsomebody, Hezekia, HollOwbread,
Mackerel, Oysters, Punch, and Pigeon,
and these are only smattering.

POLICE PICKINGS.

Henry Sachs and Jerry Talver are not en-
tirely discouraged. They are out of en-
ployment, are strangers in Nashville, and
are entirely strapped; but they found a
place Wednesday where they could eX-
change clothing for whisky, and now they
take a more cheerful view of their situa-
ton, finding that life still has its attrac-
tions. In consequence of their getting
drunk Wednesday night, they have secured
a temporary home at the wOrk-hOuse, and
in this fact they find reason for mutual con-
graduation.
James Daniels stated that he was willing
to admit that he was guilty, to a certain
extent, of lettering around dram-shOpS and
other disreputable localities, but yet would
plead not guilty of the charge as read. The
court knows Mr.. Daniels, his antecedents
and his ancestors, and in view of this fact,
the court was moved to give that individual
considerable good advice, picturing in
graphic language the dreadful future which
lies before him (it is much better for a
young man to have his future before him,
instead of behind him) if he pursues the
downward course upon which ne has en-
tered with 50 much enthusiasm. The case
was dismissed finally, with the understand
ing that Daniels is to mend his ways at
once, on pain OF being fined to the extent
of the law if he is again arrested on a SINH
lar charge. .-..-.......
When questioned as to what he had to
say regarding the charge of careless driving
which was lodged against him, John Grad
lex replied that he was not guilty, and
secuted the idea of his having driven his
horses on a galop through our streets, as
signing as a reason therefor the fact that it
was impossible for his ricketty old team to
be induced TO take that gait upon any con-
sideration whatever. He was willing to
confess that he had broken a few spokeS out
of some other mans wagon wheel by the
running of the end of his wagOn-tOngue
into the same, but succeeded in convincing
the court, by means of series of right
angles, acute and obtUse ditto, perpendicll-
lar lines, parallelograms and other archi-
tectural belongings skillfully described in

of that place, died at his residence on Main

days illness, his disease being spasmodic

and has been a resident here for upwards

ALMOST A BREAD RIOT.
Suffering Among the Poor i'm Pater-
SON, New Jersey.


From the New York Times, Dec. 2.
A large number of working men who
received tickets for work ON the streets
last Friday, in Paterson, N. j., were
not set at work because the Street Com
mittee had not been able to provide
tools for them. The working men for
the most part believed that there was
some other reason, and became indig-
nant A crowd of several hundred
men marched through the streets yes
terday morning, and between 8 and z
O'Clock threats were so frequent against
VIM. Crossman, who has charge of the
city hosehouse, that it was deemed adj
visable to send squad of policemen to
protect him, the men alleging that he
had plenty of tools, but would not give
them out, The crowd increased as it
marched, and from time to time short
speeches of an infiamn,atory nature
were made from wagons and barrels.
Finally they went to the Falls and
about $50 men stood around inthe cold
until they could stand it no longer, and
tore down a number of fences and the
rustic stairways at the Falls to make a
fire. After hearing several speeches
they formed in line, four abreast, to
the number of 400, and walked to the
Grand street cut, where the men en-
ployed by the city. to the number of
forty, were at work. They tried to in
duce them them to quit work and join
in the procession, but they refused.
The line was again formed and the
men marched to the City Hall, and,
finding no one there to
answer their questions, proceeded
to the Mayors Office, when Mayor
Townsend delivered short address,
explaining the delay in providing work
for them. A number of the men cried
out that they did not want more delay.
they wanted work. After a great deal
of loud talk the crowd dispersed in
groups. The suffering among the poor
still continues, and the charitable are
heavily taxed. Messrs. Hamil & Booth
have determined to reopen their silk
mills and employ all their hands. They
state that they cannot tell when the ma
terial will be sold, but the will do what
they can for the sufferers. The Citi-
zens Relief Committee has adopted the
Philadelphia plan, and divided the city
into districts, and a good deal OF work
has been done by committees, several
subscriptions of 800 each having been
received ..... .-.........
