An Unfortunate LADY.

To the Union and American:
As | returned from business on the even
ing of the 10Th my attention was attracted
by small tableauX being enacted on the
street corner. The characters were Il fine
looking lady, dressed in the height Of fash
ion, with about two or three yards of cloth
supposed to be portion of her dress tray
cling along the pavement after her. Ac-
cOmpanying her was a nice young man,
also elegantly dressed, performing the
duties of escort. Just as the two came to
a certain crossing, the dress of the lady Cor
that portion of it used for street Sweeping)
refused for once to perform its duty, and
quietly attached itself to the curbing. The
lady proceeded on her way, supposing that
everything was all right in the rear, but at
last all the surplus cloth was stretched out
and she came to a stand, reminding me OF
a calf tied to tree and which has run to
the end Of its rope and stands for
a moment wondering what move to make
next. She threw herself backward like a
small engine just reversed, but it is no use,
the crash has come and she finds her dress
almost total wreck and still tied to the
curbing. But the escort-where, o, where
was he? He was on the field, but seemed
to have lost his presence Of mind, but soon
recovered it, and being very gallant Gas
Nashville escorts generally are) he rushed
ffantically to the rescue. He disengaged
the dress, but having some doubts whether
it would be policy or not to turn it loose in
its damaged condition, he was inclined to
carry it and was Just rising with it, when
the lady calmly remarked ''turn it loose, it
will run well enough now" ID.

The new building intended for the print
ing office Of the Republican BdId,er, is now
receiving its finishing touches. 1t is four
stories in height and admirably arranged
for the business for which it was construct
ed. The ground floor will be used for a
counting room, mailing room and press
room; the second story for book bindery;
the third story for the job department, and
the fourth story devoted to editorial and
newspaper rooms. The ceilings are high,
the rooms are well ventilated and all the
different departments complete. A hand

EUROPEAN LIFE IN INDIA.

The usual routine of European life in In
dia is to rise at 'gun fire" g o'clock,) go
out for an airing in boat or palanquin for
two full hours, battle and dress at s, take
breakfast at 8, lunch at 1, and siesta from
to 4, when everybody retires, and, whether
one wishes to sleep or not, he is secure of
interruption, and has the full benefit of be
ing en- djSbGbiHe for the two
most oppressive hours of the day. At 4
the second bath is taken; at all go out in
full dress in open carriages, and after a
rapid drive over some of the public thor
oughfareS, the horses are walked slowly up
and down the esplanade, where all the
fashionable world assemble at this hour to
see and be seen, and exchange passing cour-
tesies or comments. At half-past six
'the course" is deserted, and bril-
liantly lighted dining-rooms are thronged
with gusts eager to test the quail
ity of the rich and varied delicacies
of which an oriental dinner consists. This
is the principal meal of the day, and Oc-
cupying two or, three hours, it is made not
merely an epicurian feast, but also an in
tellectual and social banquet. Strong cot-
fee, served in the tiniest porcelain cups,
follows the guests on their return to the
drawing rooms, and music, conversation,
reading and company fill up the hours till
midnight, when the third bath is taken
Immediately before retiring.

Is She White d?

Night before last lobe Saunders, colored,
and his wife were arrested on the accuse
ton that the woman is white, with no ne
gro blood in her veins. Saunders gave
security, but his wife was committed to
Jail.
The history of this case is somewhat
curious, and we give the woman's version
of it: She says she is twenty-five years old;
that herfather's name was Glasgow and that
she was born near Lebanon, Tenn, where
she lived until she was twelve years old,
during which time her father died and her
mother married again. About the time
she became twelve years old, Saunders,
who belonged to a man of that name re-
siding in Rutherford. county, saw the girl
and asked her mother for her. The mother
told Saunders that the girl had negro blood
in her veins, and said that he might take
her along if he could do any better by
her than she (the mother) could
Mrs. Saunders says she lived with Saun-
,ders four years and was then legally
MARRIED TO HIM,
coming to Nashville tolive about that time.
They have lived here since the close of the
war, and have had nine children altogether,
seven of which have died. The woman
told our reporter that she and her husband
were hard working people, had always at
tended to their own business and had never
been disturbed before. She said she was
nearly crazy to 90 home to her children,
and cried bitterly when speaking of them.
She is rather good looking, has blue eyes
and light hair, says that she can neither
read nor write, and insists upon it that she
is not white woman. A trial Of the case
will probably be had tomorrow.

New street Railroad Enterprise.

The citizens Of Northwest Nashville and
18th District are TO be favored with street
railroad, provided Walnut street which for
merly ran from Church to Cedar street can
he re-opened. This street near Cedar has
been heretofore closed by the Nash
vile and Chattanooga Road. \ petition
signed by number of citizens will be
brought before the Board of Directors of
that road on tomorrow asking them to re-
open Walnut street at this time which is
contemplated being done as soon as a Union
Depot is built but this is too indefinite. The
Church and Spruce street railroad propose
building this branch road right away, pro
vided this street is opened. 1t is earnestly
hoped this may be done, as large extent
of territory, comprising the more densely
populated portion Of the 18th district and
the fourth ward of the city are vitality in
terested in the building Of the street rail-
road.

The wrong Man Gets the Cotton.

Last October two bales of cotton were
shipped from Prospect, Tenn, to Nashville,
over the Decatur road. They were shipped
by Isaac Smith, and consigned to Isaac
Smith in this city.
On the 25th Of that month a cOlored
hackman, known as Ike Smith, claimed the
cotton and secured it. Since that time it
has been found that he is not the right
man, and he was arrested yesterday and
committed to jail by Justice Everett.
Smith claims that his mother has been
raising cotton near Pulaski, Tenn, and
that she wrote him she would send some
cotton to this city, and authorized him to
dispose Of it. He says he sent her the
money he got for the two bales, and that
she has since removed to Arkansas. The
case will be tried Tuesday.
