Police Picktngs.

The affair happened night before last, al
a select ball given by Mrs. Hill, on Line
street. George Price, a young gentleman
of color, had gotten himself up for the oc.
casion, utterly regardless of expense, and
be anticipated much pleasure from the eve.
ning's entertainment. At an hour prev
iously appointed, Mr.. Price knocked al the
door of the house in which bis chsrmer,
Miss Williams-Miss Sue Williams, resided.
That lovely maiden had on her best ha
ness, and soon the two were mesndering
towards the domicile of Mrs. Hill, where
they found the company already assembled,
and soon the cry was
mo rest till morn when youth and pleasure meet
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet''
or words to that effect. Mr.. Price was happy,
and be wished the night might never end.
But this is a world of sorroW-of disap-
pointed hopes; of bright plans and glo-
Tious aspirations suddenly and ir-
revocabiy wrecked - and Mr.. Pice
is no exception to the rule that
mankind must suffer. If Adam had no!
partaken of the forbidden fruit, in the Gar
den of Eden, George Price would not have
been compelled TO partake of the gall and
NORWOOD of jealousy at Mrs. HIPS ball,
Thursday night. But so it is: Twas ever
thus, etc. About midnight Mr.. Price dis
covered the dear one OF his heart dancing
with another man ana he boiled
over with rage and fury. As the
other man was considerably larger
than himself, Mr.. Price didn't
60 for him-he went for the dear one of
bis heart instead. He tore from her head
"woman's crowning glory"-her massive
chignon, composed Of material carefully and
iudiciously selected from two hair mat
trasses and an old lounge; he marred the
symmetrical and classical beauty other fea-
lures; he called her whom he so fondly
loved, sweet names, and informed her that
if he ever again caught her dancing with
another man he'd make times lively for
her. Then he went down to the lookup
TO spend the remainder Of the night and as
he came up town yesterday morning drop
ped in at the police court TO see If Judge
Duling had heard of his little affair
of the night before. The Judge had heard
of it, and he gazed upon the manly form of
Mr.. Price with undisguised admiration, and
in a moment of temporary forgetfulness,
fined him five dollars. Price paid the fine
and left the courtroom before the mistake
was discovered.
Jennie Green was free to acknowledge
that she had used vulgar and abusive Ian
guage. Candor and truthfulness are Miss
Green's strong points, and when she is not
drunk, she is a very charming girl. Miss
Jennie is philanthropic and benevolent, and
it occurred to her before leaving the court
room, to leave the sum Of five dollars in
the hands of the courts to be expended in
acts of charity.

OBITBARY.

On Friday, March I, 1873, fell asleep in Jesus,
MARY ELIZABETH HUMPHREYS, the beloved
wife of jerome Pillow HUMPHREYS, OF Nashville,
and daughter OF John S. Ulaybrooke, Of VIII
hanson county.
''JuStuS es, Domino"
Thus, after brief period Of suffering at her
fathers home, surrounded by devoted relatives
and friends, has passed away from earth one of
the most beautiful and best beloved Of all the
fair daughters of the sons of man.
For a Considerable time before her illness, this
dear child had given her heart to God, and when
stricken wn was preparing for the public con-
fession of Christ in the sacrament of holy bap-
tism. God called her fromlus and to Himself /,
and the suddenness Of the summons left her but
the opportunity for that spiritual baptism, with
out which no outward preparation would avail,
and with which alone the material ordinance is
made effectual.
She died in the faith of Christ; she died re-
pentant; she died desiring to be obedient in all
things of her Lords command; she died, but she
shall rise again, we doubt not, to blissful i'm
mortality.
Her mortal remains were solemnly inferred
within the enclosure of the family cemetery at
the former happy home of her childhood, on the
evening of the Lords day following her peaceful
death. Z. B.

The Largest Workshop Of the Body Is
the Liver, whose Office it is to withdraw
the bile from the blood; when this impor-
tant organ does not act, the skin assumes a
yellow appearance, and generally a Sick

cold hands and feet, accompanied with loss
of appetite. The system becomes elogged,
the machinery does not work well, and
both mind and body are disordered, the

CADETS OF TEMPERANCE.
second AnniveFsary Of the Orsaniza


ton.
Last evening the Cadets OF Temperance
held very pleasant sociable, or reunion az
their hall on Union street, the occasion be-
ing the second anniversary of the organiza-
ton of the society,
Messrs. Joseph S. Carols, James I. Cas-
setty and K. R. Plummer, the committee
of arrangements, had done everything pos
sible to insure pleasant time for those
present, acting wisely in dispensing with
the long speeches which usually attend an
niyersary occasions, effectually preventing
the assembled company from enjoying
themselves.
After goodly number had gathered in
the pleasant lodge-room, Mr.. Carols called
| T. company to order and said:
1t becomes my pleasant duty, ladies and
gentlemen, to welcome you to our second
anniversary. Our society, the Cadets OF
Temperance, was organized on the I'd day
of March, 1871, / take great pleasure in
| weIc ming you to our midst, and trust
you will ali enjoy yourselves this evening,
and that you will have occasion to look
| back 10 this evenings entertainment as one
of the most pleasant of your lives. After
singing our opening ode MIR. Richards, the
| Senator from Knox county, will address
you, and then the time will be passed IN
conversation and music.
The opening ode having been sung, Sen
ator Richards was introduced, and said
| that although be had been asked to deliver
an address, he had not prepared one, be-
cause he fully expected that at that hour he
would be on the train going home, so that
he would soon have the pleasure OF seeing
that pretty woman and those pretty chill
dren of his. (Laughter.)
| He labored under great disadvantage In
his speech making, as he had to think IN
Welsh and talk in English. He hoped that
all present would enjoy themselves to the
utmost. Some men enjoy themselves 10
getting drunk, but he did not like that
sort of frolicking. He mad been a
little boozy once himself, and was
sick one time from using tobacco, and he
would advise all the young men present to
shun whisky and TOBACCO, and the young
ladies he would urge to have nothing TO do
with young men who used those articles.
In his section of country the women dip
snuff, and this he thought disgusting
practice, and he hoped such women would
be compelled to marry men who chewed
and spit around on the floor. The Senator
closed his remarks by paying deserved
compliment to the neat appearance OF
the ball, and wishing the society unbound
| ed success in their work of reformation.
Upon the conclusion of the speakers re-
marks, the company collected in groups
about the room, some engaging in CONVEX
sation, while others gathered about the Or
gan AID discoursed sweet music. Later in
the evening, refreshments were served, and
the time passed rapidly by until the hour
for separation came.

ONE of the most remarkable, and proba-
bly, unique collection of paintings ever
brought under the hammer Of the auction
eer, is that formed by the late M. Reind-
rich, chief executioner of France, and COM
monty known as "Monsieur de Paris" The
collection is composed of paintings and en-
cravings relating to various modes of CAPT
tai punishment-by gibbets, crosses, gull
lotina, etc. The subjects are mostly ammo
tated by their late proprietor who, on an
engraving representing the Spanish garotte,
has remarked that this is the most painful
of all modes of execution.
