Nashville Customhonse.

Some inquiry is being made as to the
present status OF the appropriation made by
Congress for the erection Of a customhouse
in this city, and what the prospect is for
the erection Of said building.
When Col. PrOsser represented this Con-
gressional district, he secured an appropria-
ton of 100000 for this purpose, the
cost of the building not being fixed
in the act granting the appropria-
ton. Some delay was caused by the eX-
change Of the site previously selected for
one more eligible, and before anything
could be done in the way of building, an
act was passed covering" back into the
United States Treasury all appropriations
Of a certain class which had not been
drawn upon, or where improvements for
which said appropriation had been made,
had not been commenced, and the appro-
priation above referred to was considered
by the authorities as being included in the
list.
Since that time an appropriation of
S150,000 has been made for the erection of
a Custom House here, but the act making
the appropriation limited the cost of the
building to that sum. The Secretary of
the Treasury holds, and very properly that
the sum indicated is altogether too small to
erect such a building as the capital of this
State will require, and no steps towards
the building Of the Custom House have
been taken. A bill making a suitable ap-
preparation Will probably be introduced in
Congress this winter.
The Governor has notified the United
States authorities that the State officials
viii need all therOOms at the Capitol build
ing, and consequently quarters must be
found elsewhere for the Federal Courts
now being held at the Statehouse. This
may have the effect Of making more certain
the passage of an act securing sufficient
funds to build "uitabe customhouse in
Nashville.

a WAIF.
Five Months Gid Child Left Or the Steps
of an EdgefeId House.

just before daylight yesterday morning,
Prof. Henri Weber, of Edgefeld, was
aroused from his peaceful slumbers by the
CRYING Of a child. He awoke his wife, and
afterwards repaired to the door, there to
behold a beautiful little girl child apparent
" about five months old in a fine box. In
the box was also a letter, addressed to Mrs.
Weber, appealing strongly to her christian
charities, and begging her to take charge of
the little one. The letter went on to state
that the father and mother of the child
were both dead, and having been placed in
charge Of the writer, she had found it inn
possible, in consequence Of the hard times
longer to take care of the precious charge
She desired also that the child should be
christened willie" Jennings. When the
fact was made known of the arrival Of the
distinguished stranger in the neighborhOOd,
everybody called to see the little waif, and
no little excitement was OccasiOned. The
owner of the child, if disposed to hear a
suggestion, and if she has any more such
precious packages to hand around, should
the next time favor those who are in want
of such additions to the household.

Rr. HaISeII.S Seminary.

The many friends Of DR.. HallSell in this
city are always glad to hear from him. The
BO1CLiRg Green Democrat of the 1st inst,
has the following reference to his flourish
ing school in that place:
Last Monday, We witnessed a very inter-
esting scene at HalSell's Seminary in this
city,. In response to an invitation from Mr.
Halsell. the President Of the Seminary, the
members of the Green River Synod of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church, then in
session here, paid the Seminary a visit.
The guests were received in the large, conf
Portable recitation rooms in the rear Of the
Seminary, and, after all had taken seats
in the presence Of the young ladies Of the
institution, Rev. Mr.. Gill Of Elkton, the
Moderator of the Synod, arose and deliver
ed a brief but truly eloquent address to the
school. He was followed by Rev. MIR. De-
witt of Nashville, who made themoSt beau
tiful and appropriate address We ever heard
on similar occasion. Then Mr.. HalSell
addressed a few remarks to his guests,
thanking them for their visit and assuring
them Of his purpose to conduct a school in
which a thorough course Of education
should be taught. After the addresses, the
company repaired to the parl0r Of the Sem
mary when Mrs. Dagg, the accomplished
teacher of music entertained them with
some of the most admirable music we ever
heard from a piano. The occasion was al
together a delightful one, and the guests OF
Mr.. Haisell expressed universally their con-
gratulations upon the excellent condition
in which they found his Seminary.

THE FRYER ENGINE.
A Special Premium Awarded to this
Invention.

The many friends of Mr.. Fryer, the in
ventor Of the engine which attracted so
much attention at our Exposition, will be
glad to learn that he has been awarded a
special premium ON one exhibited at Buf1a-
10, New York. Mr.. Fryer writes home to
Mr.. Romans, as follows:
"NEw YORK. Oct. 29.-NTr. J. B. Ro-
mans: You are of course aware that we
were awarded a special premium of the
highest order for the engine. The trouble.
at first, seems to have been that the novelty
of the invention bothered the Judges to
classify it. However, it has resulted far
better for us, for the reason that it has. been
the means of producing more friends for the
engine.
Those who endorsed it at first. were very
indignant because the judges didnot award
a premium at the start. But both Mr..
Westfall and myself felt certain that we
would come out all right in the end, and so
it has proven. Mr.. WeStfall gave, in a let
ter to-day, a very animated account of the
proceedings after left Buffalo. He said
that parties came in to get estimates for en-
gineS of twenty-five horse power etc, and
that the public are greatly taken with the
engine generally. He has got it out of the
Exposition and at his shop. Iwillg 90 again
to Buffalo in the course of few days"

extensively advertised, and whose deXteri-
ty in changing her costumes is equalled by
only that Of Lingard, and never fails to
elicit storms Of applause from the assem-
blage which gathers at the above named
place of amusement. In seeing the gOT-
geous apparel in which the shOrt-haired
Hindle appears and the graceful, airy man

In view of the early completion of the
Ninth ward school house and of the un-
comfortable and unsafe condition of the
old government building on the Hume lot,
the Board of Education last night appoint
ed MessrS J. T. Dunlap, N. 3. Howell and
ChaS. Rich a cOmmitte to report plan for
redistricting the city, so as to transfer
pupils from the Hynes school sufficient to
fill up the new house, and from the Hume
school to occupy the seats thus vacated in
the Hynes school, and thus dispense with
the necessity Of using the "Mess Hall" any
further as a school house.
The Committee on Buildings and repairs
We're ordered to cooperate in every way
with the Committee on Schools from the
city council in getting the new buildings
completed at as early day as practicable.
As it appears a foregone conclusion that
a good building cannot be provided for the
accommodation of the children in the pres
ent Hume district, it is certainly deSira-
bic that the change, above indicated, should
be made as speedily as may be possible.

POLICE PICKINGS.

Among the guests who registered at the
| city worxhouse yesterday, with view of
taking board and lodging to the extent Of a
| five dollar fine, is William johnson, Esq.
Mr.. Johnson's offence consisted inhis using
language Of a very vulgar and profane char
acter.
John Williams, colored, was drunk and
disorderly day before yesterday. Yesterday
morning he dropped i'll at the police court
just as the customary fines were being dis
tributed, and Mr.. Williams was provided
with one which secures him a five dollar
when so many worthy and industrious peo-
pie are out of employment. Well, Williams
always was a lucky dog.
Thomas Cahill is Of a free, rowing dispo-
sition. He cannot bear the confinement of
a house and the restrictions Of society, con-
sequently he remains indoors as little as
possible, and never attends fashionable ell
tertainments or crush balls. He 1ningies
occasionally with the select company which
can always be found at the Hotel de COrbett,
but when this does occur it is at the earn
est solicitation of the police judge, for
whom he enteItains the highest re-
gard. Mr.. Cahill has contemplated pur-
chashing the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, but was DESTROYS, before doing so, of
examing tie line of road, rolling stock,
round houses, machine shops, depot build
ings, etc. In order to gain correct opin-
ion as to the real value OF the property in
question, he has been pursuing his investi-
cations entirely unattended, and usually
after dark. Monday night he had arranged
to examine the depot buildings in this city,
and was wandering about said premises at
a somewhat late hour, when he dit up"
with private Waterman. The latter ques-
toned Mr.. Cahill as to his motives in thus
rambling about the depot at that hour,
which questions Mr.. Cahill very properly
declined answering, preferring to sub
NIT to an arrest. He was arrested,
taken to the stationhouse and locked up.
When taken before the police judge yester-
day morning, the latter hooted at the idea
of Mr.. Cahill being guilty of ''trespassing,"
but intimated that he was sending a lot of
men down to the workhouse, and suggested
to Mr.. Cahill that he join the party and re-
main few days, in order to see Just how
things are going in that charitable institu-
ton, and Mr.. Cahill couldn't find it in his
heart to refuse the invitation.
James Craighead explained his hav-
ing knocked Lucinda Harding
down with a rock, and afterwards
beating her over the head with
a broom-stick and then with a pole which
had been used for propping up clothes line
by saying that since he has joined the
church he don't care so much for Lucinda
as he used to, and that he wants to get rid
of her. The woman had been fearfully
beaten, one eye being closed, and her head
cut in half a dozen places. Craighead
claimed that she had been following him
about, but several witnesses established the
fact that she is a hard working woman, and
that he has been following her around. He
was fined SO.
