what Is Said OF Nashville.

The sna,~ 'si correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution is ei I.HAr disposed to do the
Nashville papers gross injustice, OF &c Is VOC
drowsy from the effects of cholera mlA.,.-
to know what they contain. Here is one OF
bis kilograms:
NASHVILLE, June II, 1873.-There were
sixteen deaths from cholera yesterday. The
best informed thought the epidemic was
abating yesterday afternoon; but the same
persons now think it is spreading. The pa
pers keep as quiet as possible on the subject,
and there seems to he q general disposition
in the city to suppre the facts. The
true state of affairs can only be ascertained
by personal observation. The weather con-
tinues wet and disagreeable. B.
We again repeat it,, that we obtain from
the different undertakers on the evening
previous to the morning of publication, the
dea' ms for the twenty-fOur hours, and have
been publishing these reports for over 8
week. This report comprises a complete
list Of the interments from cholera and
other causes, and obtaining the information
as We do, there is no possible way Of, hay
ing incorrect mortuary returns. But what
will the Nashville psople think of the fol-
lowing item which we find in the COnSti
tuition:
The Nashville papers are very chary of
cholera items. No especial mention is
made of Mrs. Judge Gaut's death, or OF
Rev. Moses S. Boyce, Rector of the Church
of the Holy Trinity, who ofticiated Sunday,
preaching and holding service as usual, and
was dead on the folio wing morning.
We advise the Constitution to examine
the Nashville papers with more care before
indting such absurd paragraphs.

lowing communication from stern, I'M
compromising opponent of a system of free
education-or I" ddication," as Mr.. Ramsey
would probably spell the word, if he had
occasion so to do:

To the foregoing, DR.. Dickinson made
the following reply:
"The above letter containing challenge,
and requesting division of time at Spring
Hill Academy by my friend Mr.. Ramsey
fully explains itself. Recognizing the right
of every citizen to discuss the school ques-
ton, as well as any public measures, we
will take pleasure in yielding t. his request
and divide time with him, or any citizen of
our county, ON that or any similar occasion
for like purpose. If the Public School
law is wrong or unjust, or unwise, the
people ought to know it, and should use
their influence in having it repealed. The
same privilege will be granted to any other
citizen of the county who thinks as my
friend, Mr.. Ramsey, does"

The jackson Wing and Tribune of the
18th inst, tells the following sto y, which is
good enough to be true: "On Sunday
night last, a jealous wretch observed an
other fellow escorting his girl to church, and
prompted by the green eyed monster, fol-
lowed-taking seat just behind them in
the church. He racked his brains for
means of revenge, and looked like seventeen
Othello's concentrated in one. Finally a
CHASTITY smile crept over his face, he raised
half up in his seat, and nabbed a large bug
that was crawling on pillar hard by. He
took the. bug and gently dropped
him down between his unconscious
rivals shirt collar and neck,
and then calmly leaned back with a Virtu-
Gus and Christian air Of satisfaction. The
bug soon made his presence felt, and that
otter fellow began to twist and scratch him
self again st the back of his seat and look
uneasy, and cast unhappy glances at the
minister and affecting ones at the fair being
by his side. The bug evidently grew more
and more impatient at his imprisonment
and turned himself loose, graphing around
with a recklessness devilishly suggestive of
big black spiders or scorpi ns, and that
other fellow could stald it nc longer, but
boiling up right, casting one wild startled
look AZ the congregation, cleared the space
between him and the door at two bounds.
The wretch who had caused all the mischief
was the most serene looking Christian we
ever saw. That other fellow got rid Of the
bug, but his shirt and collar were a fearful
wreck"

Not 10 be Depended Upon.

Nashville dead-bests are very unrelia-
bic set, and, like Paddy's flea, when you
attempt to put your finger on them, they
are not there. Owing to the fact of Judge
Dulng having concluded to confine no pris-
oners III The workhouse for the present, all
those arrested Friday night were released
on their parole, they agreeing to put in an
appearance at the police court yesterday
morning. At the regular hour for opening
court yesterday, Judge Duling assembled the
throne, and Sergeant Tignor proceeded to
call the cases, but not single response was
heard. There were quite a number of per-
sons present, but they didn't happen to be
those whose presence was especially de-
sired. 1t may be that the arrested parties
forgot all about their morning appointment.

When it was done, he put it carefully away

This Was Tuesday night, and The mar

The man who would marry met his betrolh-

baker, with professional pride, opened the
locked door and entered for the cake, when

the ghost of the departed signlfed her dis
