Presentation to Mrs. Polk.

y very pleasant little affair occurred YES
tcrday morning at the residence of Mrs.
eX-ireSident Polk. In September, 1872,
when the Great Council of Improved Order
Of Red Men Of the United States, met in
annual communication in this city, the
members in a body visited Mrs. Polk, where
they received that hospitality and cordial
welcome which has made the mansion of
the eX-President famous among all stran-
gers here on a visit. Returning to the hail.
the Great Council adopted a resolution re-
turning thanks for the elegant reception
and agreeable entertainment extended TO
the members of the Order. At the recent
meeting of the Great Council, held III Will
mington, Del, the reading Of the minutes
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of the pleasant visit to
Mrs. Polk, and a motion was adopted that
the resolution above referred to be copied
and framed. and commissioning w. +.
MeaCham, Esq, Representative to the
Great Council, upon his return to present
the same in person to Mrs. Polk. Mr..
Meacham attended to the duties assigned
him yesterday morning. and the remem-
brance was most gratefully received by Mrs.
Polk. She assured Mr.. Meacham that she
appreciated the gift highly, and desired to
be remembered to the Order Of whom he
was a representative. The resolution was
entrusted to a skillful penman in Whining
ton, who in the highest style of the art,
Transcribed it on bristol board, and more
handsome piece Of penmanship we have
never seen. Returning home Mr.. Meacham
had it elegantly framed in gilt. Placing it
carefully on the mantel among other like
tokens received at various times, Mrs. Polk
assured Mr.. Meacham that it would be care
fully preserved through life, and upon her
death would be turned over to Mrs. Fall
for safe keeping.

Can Nashville Afford to Risk Another
Epidemic.

To the Union and American
The Nashville Board of Trade in its last an
nUal report puts the trade of the city at for
tynine millions of dollars for the past year,
or about one million per week. The cpl
demic last summer continued for over six
weeks, during which time all kinds Of bu-
sineSS was at a stand still, and the usual
amount Of business of about six millions
for the six weeks was lost to the city. The
profits on which at ten per cent would be
six hundred thosand dollars. This does
not include the losses of small dealers and
manufacturers, which would swell the
amount to nearly as much more. Nor does
it take into account, from a mOnied point
of view, the loss of the able bodied produ-
GERS who died of the prevailing sick
ness. whose value was not less than as
much more, making total of not less
than a million and a half of dollars lost to
Nashville, all of which, in all probability,
would have been saved, with all its horrors
and sufierings, if the city had been supplied
with pure free-stone soft water. 1t is now
pretty well understood that no city has
ever suffered to any extent from cholera,
that used free-stone water. 1t is also I'M
derstood that the water now being used in
Nashville is impure and unfit for use.
Which is the best to be done. risk another
epidemic next summer, or spend about one
third of the amount we lost last season in
building new WaterworkS, and supplying
the city with all the pure water it will need
for all time to come, and placing it out Of
danger from epidemic sickness, caused by
the use Of impure water, and saving the
city twenty-five thousand dollars per an
mum in its Fire Department? NX

STRIKE ON THE E. 7. VA. AND
GEORGIA RAILROAD.
I6O Men Retire from Employment.

The knOrriUe Press and Herald Of the
1st inst. says: "The engineers, firemen,
machiniSts and blacllsmiths, and their help
ers, in the employ of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad Company,
struck last night. A committee of en-
gineeIS, and a committee Of the machinistS
and blackSmiths, presented, last evening,
through Mr.. G. a. Hodge, master mechanic,
their protest against the reduction i'll wages,
ordered yesterday morning, and suggested
terms of compromise. The officers of the
company did not consider they could accede
to the wishes of the men, and replied that
after due consideration of all the circum-
stances the reduction of wages, yesterday,
wat fair and the best that could be done.
''As a result of the differences, the men
all struck. The passenger train from BriS-
tol, arriving here at II o'clock last night,
was run on a side track, and the passengers
took quarters in the hotels"
The Press and Herald of the 2nd says:
The passenger train from Chattanooga,
due here at A. NJ, yesterday, did not ar
rive until 10 A. NJ, having remained at
LoudOn several hours, awaiting the down
train. in ignorance that it was lying by at
Knoxville.
The regular day passenger trains from
Bristol and Chattanooga, arrived on time.
Conductor Ross Smith, who came down
from Bristol, at once manned the engine
and took the down train to Chattanooga,
where it arrived on time and without ac-
cident. Master mechanic G. A. Hodge ran
the up train as far as MOrristown, where
engineer J. Ebaugh, not a member of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
took charge and run the train through to
Bristol.
"The night passenger trains were not run
last night, owing to the want of engineers
and firemen. To-day the passenger trains
will arrive and depart as usual, the COM
pany having made arrangements for eX-
perienced men to take charge of them.
The company also intend TO move the
freight accumulated at Knoxville, to-day
and tomorrow to run freight trains along
the entire length of the road. The mail
and day passenger trains will not be de-
laved, and in a few days the management
think that the usual trains will be run.
Meanwhile, the night passenger trains will
be discontinued. As far as we can learn,
both the management and the men remain
firm. We understand that dispatch from
the chief officer of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers was received yesterday,
telling the engineers to stand firm and
they will be supported. The Brotherhood
is very strong organization and has about
100000 in its treasury.
"The engineers were receiving $500 per
day; the firemen averaged $3.50; the ma
chinsts $3.50, and the blacksmiths $500.
s'The number of men who have quit
work is about one hundred and sixty"

Death Of Mai. Dick HAYS.

Mai. Richard Tate Hays, Familiarity
known as Dick Hays, an esteemed citizen,
and before his recent illness an employee
in the house of Cheatham IL Kinney, died
at his fathers residence, near Mt. Joliet
Wilson county, on Saturday last, and was
buried yesterday. About four weeks ago he
was Frustrated by a violent attack of flux
and his condition continued to grow worse
from day to day until finally death ensued.
He was a man Of the most generous i'm
pulses, frank in his disposition. noble in
character, and probably without an enemy
in the world. The large number present
at his funeral yesterday, attested the es-
teen in which be was held by those who
knew him in the vicinity of his old home.
For eight or ten miles round, the people
turned ont to pay the last tribute to his
memory. He was buried with Masonic
honoIs, the Lodge at Green Hill turning
out to man to render the last sad offices
to a worthy departed brother. John S.
Dashiell, Past Grand Master. of this city,
officiated at the grave.

POLICE PICKINGS.

Neal Sportsman denied that he had seri-
ously injured Hattie Wade. He said he
had merely thrown black handled fork at
her, striking her on the shoulder. A black
woman statedthat Hattie was under charge
of a doctor, and could not appear. The
case was continued until to-day.
Il loves dat woman and would drink her
hearts bloodr' exclaimed Richard Lee, col
ored, when called upon to state his object
in hanging about Lucy Gay, bright eyed
mulattO girl, who is employed by one OF
our legal lights, and who has been very
much annoyed by the frequent visits OF the
wooing Richard. The girl stated that Lee
heen bothering her for some time past
and had even threatened to take her life:
The hopelessly-smitten Richard had been
brought before the court before on SINH
lar charge, but on that occasion was re-
leased with the understanding that the next
time he was arrested, he should be fined to
the extent Of the law. The court reminded
him Of this agreement, and fined him $50.
When the names of John Barber and
Joshua Stevens were called, the latter APP
peared with his throbbing brows bandaged
with cloth that had probably been white
at one time. Mr.. Barber stated
that. Mr.. Stevens had come
into his house and had acted in very IA
miliar manner indeed, by breaking his
dishes, up-Setting his table, etc. Mr..
Stevens said he remembered distinctly of
being struck in the head, but he couldn't
tell for the life of him, what it was that
struck him. Mr.. Barber explained that he
wouldn't have hit Mr.. Stevens, if he chad
ha' knowed he was drunk''-he had hit him
but once, however, before discovering that
Stevens mental powers were under cloud,
SO to speak, and forebore infiicting further
injury upon him. Mr.. Stevens thought
they ought not be fined, for, as he very in
genuouSly observed, he and Barber had set
tied the matter between themselves. The
court, however, failed to see it in that illu-
mination and ten dollar fine evenly
between them.

Death of the Sleeping Beauty.

We learn from the Hickman Courier that
Miss Susan Caroline GOdsey-knOwn as the
Sleeping Beauty-died at the residence Of
her mother, in ObiOn county, Tennessee,
on the 9th ult. She had attained the age
of 81 years, and had been in her sleeping
condition about "a years.
1t will be remembered that her case has
excited great interest, and gave rise to
much investigation and discussion among
scientific men. The true nature of her af-
Fiction, however, was never understood,
and will doubtless always remain mys-
terry.
She was brought to Nashville in the fall
of 1867 for the ostensible purpose of pro-
curing medical aid, but was really in charge
of an agent who contemplated making an
exhibition Of her. She was accompanied by
a brother, and other relations who were
very much attached to her. While they
were III Nashville, they boarded at the house
of Maj. Bruce on Market street, and the
sleeper was constantly watched by Mrs.
Bruce, who took great interest in her. She
remained under Mrs. Bruce's care eleven
days While there, she was visited by
great many persons and had with her one
or more physicians all the time. She
dN dhCilCu every IOlll ulSllt anu uttg DIT d.
most the same second each time
and remained awake from seven
to ten minutes. Just after going to
sleep each time, she had commissions that
shook the room, and at such times she APP
peared to be suffering great pain. When
asleep she was dead to everything; but
when awake talked pleasantly and intelli-
gently, sometimes complaining of pain, and
exclaiming ''Oh, my head!' and when she
awaked she invariably asked for water; but
ate very little. She said she had no con-
seriousness of ever having dreamed, and
that it was no pleasure to her to live af-
flicted as she was. She was very sensi-
tive and appeared mortified to think that
she was being exhibited. Her affliction
was inaugurated by spell of chills. Some
medical men have attributed it to the med
icine she then took; others, that the chills
are precuIsOry to her long sleeping state.
Upon leaving Nashville, she went to st.
Louis, and remained there ashort time. 1t
is said that the physicians there unani-
mously agreed that she was an imposition.
She soon returned to the home of her
mother and has remained there ever since.
The Sleeping Beauty is said to have been
a truly beautiful woman-n0t so emaciated
as one would think-and of shapely form.

From the Memphis Appeal, Nov. 1.
Lines on the Death of Sister Mary
Joseph.

EDITORS APPEAL-YOu, who so generously
bestOw honor wherever it is due, have neglected
one, who, through many a weary vigil by the
dead and diving, obtained so soon the crown of
martyrdOm. 4 short notice of her death was the
only reference made to the noble sister who left
the peaceful calm of her convent home, st. Ce-
ella, Nashville and offered her life a propitia-
tory sacrifice in behalf of our suffering people
Two weeks to the day from the time she entered
our "stricken CITY," she was borne in long,
sweet sleep to the quiet shade of st. Agnes,
where never again the sweet chimes of the YES
per or matin bell will summon her to the devO-
tons she loved so well. But grateful hearts will
ever bless her. and l, whom she nursed with such
tender care, offer these poor verses loving trib-
ute TO her memory:
When deaths angel paused in his fight,
To scatter the seeds of our grief,
When even hopes tintings could borrow no
light
To pierce through the gloom of our desolate
night,
And promise a morn of relief
When each shrinking heart read its doom
From the face of the dying and dead,
Then the star of her love softly rose to Hume,
And its beautiful rays brightly shone through
the gloom
Which the angel around us had spread.
Too soon God rewarded her WORTH
She was called from the orphans lone side,
And though angels rejoiced Ger her angelic
birth,
We mortals were weeping far away on this
earth,
Because the sweet sister had died.
But nobly her work she had done,
And her life for our sakes she laid down;
But now in the light of eteTnityS sun
The Jewel which each shining virtue has won,
Cleans gem in her beautiful crown.
