The CGpEtRI Prize,

1t was stated yester ay upon the author
ity of re;ce of Judge Buskirb, of Bloom
irgton, Ind, that that gentleman was the
owner OF TIE lucky ticket, 2O,995, which
drew the capital prize Of 100000. Ac-
cording to this statement, Judge Buskirk, at
the time Of and since the drawing, was alb
sent with his family at watering place,
leaving his ticket a5 home. Returning yes
terday he discovered the fact that his ticket
bore the magnificent number aud that he
was all at Onca rich man. Upon the re-
ceipt of this statement we Immediately tel
egraphed to two parties in Bloomington to
learn the truth Of the rumor, but no reply
was received; therefore it is fair 10 presum e
that the whole report is a mistake. We
give it, however, for what it is worth
COurier-JOWRGl.
There is good reason 70 suppose that that
ticket is held by Nashville gentleman,
who will probably be able to relieve the
public mind regarding the matter, within
short time.

"a alias y. M. GRAY. .4

1
An individual bearing the above cogno-
mnns was arrested by officer Dick Reed
and Detective Ryan yesterday, on the
charge Of having obtained money under
false pretenses.
1t seems that this chsp of many names
came to Nashville several weeks ago, and it
| is said that he brought with him sever Il
hundred dollars which rapidly disappeared
| by reason Of his vatsnt efforts OF "bucking
against ye tiger" However this may be,
lie has made this city his home for a month
or two, during which time he was frequent
lY to be seen Il The immediate vicinity
of the Max well House steps; usually alone.
He wore good garments, but was net st all
fashy or gaudy in the matter of apparel.
His fse3 is usually closely shaven, with the
excep ion of q short, thick moustache,
which generally looked as though it had
come into close contact with the BARRIERS
dye bottle. He is medium sized man,
about thirty seven years of age, and halls
from New York.
A few weeks ago, Mitchell, or Gray, as
the case may be, made application to one Of
our wholesale firms for permission to ssh
certain articles for said firm throughout
the surrounding country. Being
plausible looking man, an r$Dsement
was Effected by which he was to receive
commission on bis sales. For time things
worked smoothly, and the firm aforesaid
were quite pleased with their new man.
Then they heard stories told of the way in
which he did business, which led them to
suppose that be might not be SO valuable
man sfter all, and yesterday they received
notification that, through having represent
ed himself as their agens be had succeeded
in getting bank at Mayheld, KY, to cash
two drafts on the First National Bank of
this city, the total amount thus obtained
being about $50, the drafts being signed
"Mitchel 81 Co.." and made
payable to :. Ii. Gray. OF course
the fact that Mitchell s. Co., was a ficti-
tious firm, making no deposits at the First
National, was soon discovered, and upon
Mitchell, or Gray, returning to the city, he
was taken in out of the damp, as before
stated. The Mansfield Bank has been tel
egraphed to, and the arrested party will be
held to await Instructions from the officers
of the bank,

STRYCHNINE IN GIMME.

A chemical test by DFs. Holland and
Ksstenbine, separately, Of tho quinine,
from dose Of which DR.. McROberts, of
Stanford, died, has demonstrated that tho
powders contain large per cent. of s.rych-
nine, sufficient TO produce death in few
hours. An exam nation of the bottle IL
self, from which it is said the quinine was
taken, indicated a trace of strychnine.
The analysis was not qusntitative, but made
simply to show whether or not there was
any poisonous ingredient in the contents of
the bottle. The symptoms of DR.. Nc
Roberts case, especially the rigid y of the
muscles, towing Of the body, and sudden
contractions, al pointed Enthusiastically to
strychnia, and consequently the test was
made directly for that poison, and the
opinion !of the physician confirmed

MODERN DRESS.

The COTpltiU Magazine asks if We are
more civilized in our dress than in our
dive lipgs? 1t answers that even here our
guide ami ruler is that irresponsible tyrant
we csl fashion, and neither comfort nor
beauty has word TO say. To be sure, men
have discarded many ahsurdities, though
they have retained more. They hold TO
their stiff shirt collars, which rasp their
necks; their wide eXpanse of linen front,
which the very act Of fastening rumples;
their meaningless swallOwtails, their hid
eous hats, their tight fitting military uni
form, and all the mysteries of seam and
gusset snd band, which are the mere sym
bols Of TIE art Of cut ing out, and not ne
ceSsary to the comfort of shape. But even
with the fOllies they retain, they can move
about with ease and uDhampered.
Women, On the contrary, torture them
selves in the name of fashion, with
touching fidelity. They would as soon
f0rego their nationslity as their stays, and
the thirty-uine articles are less sacred to
them than their multiplicity CT garments all
hanging from the waist. 1t is to keepthese
up, and lessen their heavy weight, that they
put themgeles into steel cages, which de-
siroy all grace of line, and all comfort OF
movement, save in walking. The beauty
Of sim.Hcity is thing dead and done
with il their code. Heads are loaded with
false hair stuck about with lace, feathers,
flowers, and colored glass; ears are pisrced
that bits Of crystalzed earth, or limitations
thereof, may be hung into the holes; health
is destroyed, and the tender, vital CrgaIs
which nature has so seduously protected
by the outer casing of ribs are compressed
sDd crushed that the wsistband may be re-
duced 10 II inches; and the highest et-
forts Of millinery genius are directed to
the most elaborate method of sewing one
bit of stuff on TO another bit Of stuff, to The
confusion of anything like q leading line
or an ineligible idea. We laugh az thu
Chinese golden water-liles," the Papuan
head-dress, the HindOO nose ring,
the African lip-distender. We laugh
while we look il the glass and cOmpla-
Gently brush out our frills, and cOngrstu
late ourselves on looking "styiish' and
"well got up" But our highest efforts cul-
inmate in partial nakedness in the middle
Of winter, If we are women; In black broad
c'Oath in the dog-dayS if We are men-in
absurd lengths OF silk trailing after us as
VIC walk in the one case, in ridiculous
penni0n meandering at our backs in the
other; they culminate in fashion,
not in use or beautg or simple
ity; but while we do thus dress
without personal convenience Of artistic
meaning, we have true civilization in The
meter of our clothes. Modern millinery is
neither art por nature. Il is our trsnsla-
ton Of the primitive mans delight iE rags
and CANDY colors, and there is no essential
difference between the two. What differ
ence there is consists simply in conventional
acceptance, but the aesthetic base Of each
is ths same.
