A Successful Affair,

A large and enjoyable crowd assembled
at McClure's Hall in Edgefeld last night,
the occasion being the promenade concert
for the benefit of the parsonage fund Of Tu-
lip Street Church.
The concert was one Of the most agree
able that ever occurred in that Hall, the
song birds CT Edgefield being out in force,
and what other city in thu State of the same
population can turn out more or better
singers? Mcclure kindly furnished for the
occasion Kusbe piano aud a Burdett organ,
which were presided over by Prof. Heine.
berg and Cspt. Thatcher. We have not
space or time to refer TO the concert at
length, but we must say that the Grand
Chorus "Glory to God" was master
piece and loudly encored The
solos, Duets, trios, and choruses were ad-
mirably rendered, and the audience i'm
mersely pleased.
The concert, however, was not the only
attraction. Around the room were tables
bountifully filled with substantials and deli
cacies, and behind which were not ceable
the smiles and bright eyes of lovely women,
ready with willing hands to serve their
customers. Enough-they were literally
patronized during the evening, and no
doubt a handsome sum YVES collected.
Mrs. Frank Moore, Mrs. Ed. Gillem and
Mrs. Alex. Joseph presided over the first
table west Of the stairway, with host of
little fairies to assist them.
Miss Sally Morrow and Miss Ida Lewis
hsd charge of the Tree CT Fortune, and
gracefully received their friends and the
friends of the church,
Mrs. John McClellsnd and Mrs. George
Buck had another attractive table, and called
TO their assistance Misses Patty Cooke,
Goodbar, Manning, Sally Buck, Sally Nc
Clelland and others. These assistants had
their hands full during the evening.
The next table was that of Mrs. Winstead
and Mrs Carsey, with Misses Mamie Brien,
Sophia HarPer, Mary Lou Morrison, Lena
Loftin ard Coor as assistants. Right well
were the duties performed.
Mrs. Stubs, Mrs. Thornton aud Mrs.
Howerton had another table glittering with
attractions that CAUGHT the eye of those
present.
Miss Dickey McClellaDd had charge of
the lemonade stand, and was surrounded
throughout the evening.
Mrs, David Stratton and Mrs. w. Ii.
Stratton also had very attractive and Tempt
ing table, which had hosts of friends, if
we Judge from the number of persons
that patrOnized it.
The demand, however, was no. equal to
the immense supply provided by the kind
ladies, and in consideration of which Mrs.
Snyder, who ssbos.ed" the elegant affair,
decided to have REPETITION of the concert
tonight, when refreshments will agsin be
furnished at the same reasonable rates.

POLICE PICKINGS.

Our readers will, no doubt, be panied TO
learn that Mr.. George White (nos our clev-
er young friend on the Square, by the way, }
failed TO keep his promise to leave town
Immediately, on condition that the Judge
would give him "only one more chance"
Wednesday morning last. Mr.. White not
only failed to keep his promise in this par,
ticular, but he got tight again. He was
sent down on fine of $50.
Club ColbIrn WAS brought up on the
charge Of being drunk on the street and re-
sisliDg an officer He was fined S25, and
as he was leaving the court room, he
snapped bis fingers and exclaimed: 81 don't
care d-n for this court; Ksrcheval will
turn me out in less than two hours" The
court was of the opinion that brief So
jlurn in the Wsrkhouse dungeon might
have the effect Of teaching Club better man
ners, and gave orders for his temporary
confinement in that luxurious APARTMENT.
Miss Matilda Harris returned to the city
a few days since from somewhat lengthy
visit to friends in Alabama, and Immediately
upon becoming fairly settled in her old
home, set about dest' Dying as much whisky
as she could, in order to prevent that poison
GUS liquid falling into the hands
OF the young and inexperienced.
She was doing brsvely, and meeting
with grand success in her labors in the in
terest of the temperance Cause, when she
was so unfortunate as to attract the atten-
ton of sone of her old friends of the police
force. These gentlemen knew that the Pc
lice Judge would ee delighted to welcome
Matilda back to her old stamping ground,
and so Induced her to drop N yesterday
morning and pay her respects to the
court. Remarks suitable to the
occasion were INDUCED in by the Judge,
which remarks we're responded to in an ap-
propriata manner, and then the latter was
presented with a ten dollar ticket fo- soup
at the workhouse, by the former. 1t is
proper 10 add, In this connection, that un-
til the time indicated in the ticket afore-
mentioned has expired, Matilda will not
take any active part in the temperance
movement.
Jack Morrill, was turned out oflthe work
house Tuesday. Wednesday be got drunk
again, and Thursday morning he was sent
back to his old quarters on ten dollar fine.
Doubtless his experience will go far toward
any false ideas the public may
have regarding the workhouse, as many
people suppose it is not pleasant place;
but Mr.. Morrill, seems to think otherwise,
ard he ought to know.

THE Shah, it appears, had no end of trou-
bic in Vienna. The sudden departure OF
the Empress caused q grea1 deal OF curious
conjecture. The day after the arrival OF
the Shah, the Empress of Austria sent an
officer to the Luxemburg, with orders to
ask the Shah when he would call at Soho
enbrnn, and whether the Imperial family
would be ready to receive His Majesty 1T a
certain hour. The Shah replied 81 shall
psy my respects to the imperial family
whenever it suits me to do so; a person OF
my rank does not take orders from any
one" When the Empress received this
message she started at once for the coun-
try. When the Shah went, he was received
by the Emperor and Prince Rodolphe. A.

BpOnbc from u DIfectOEs
To the Union and American:
We notice in your issue CT yesterday an
article over the signature of "College Hill
in regard TO the action of the Directors OF
the South Nashville Street Railroad Co. in
sbolishing the dollar tickets on that road.
In reply we would say that we have care
fully examined into the affairs Of the COM
pany and lis expenses, and have come to
the conclusion that 81 cents is as low as the
fares can be made in order to run the road
successfully.
We are, however, not "Old Fogy" enough
to adhere to this plan if we can be con-
WINGED that the five cents plan will conduce
to The interest of the road. We are there
fore quite willing to give the 'nickel PLAN
trial if"College Hill" will extend his guar
antee for three months, SO as to tes5 the
matter thoroughly. We cannot be expect
ed to change the rates of the company for
only one month, for in that event, it would
be quite easy to keep the cars full for that
short time, to secure the reduction for the
future. If that rate will pay, we would
be glad to put the price down, and if "Col-
lege Hill" has so much confidence in it, we
think be should be willing to extend bis
time. DIRECTOR.
