POLICE PICKINGS.

Carter Thomas AMI James Polk, a couple
Of cO'Cred G mus, were brought up on the
char-e Of tresplssing upon the property of
Others. A livery man sail he hyd found
them quietly slee ing, at ? o'clock yester-
day morning, in his stable, and as he had
missed several halte and things lately, he
had he boys taken i'll charge. As there
was little proof against them, the court dis
missed the case with the understanding
that he BOYS halter their way Of living.
Councilman Ben Snowden and like
Conway were called upon to expl3in away
the charge of having created disturbance
at puylic meeting the night oefJre. they
succeeded in convincing the court that no
harm was intended, the affIir growing out
Of little temporary excitoment, and that
there was no bad feeling existing between
them, and o the Gaze was dismissed.
Club locked decidedly cisteveled, dis-ar-
ranged, disOrdered, down-heSrted, disturb
ed and discouraged. His nut-trown curls
bore the appearance Of having been used
as q rendezvous for rats the nigh. before,
and the light of bis hazed eye seemed to be
quedChed-st least Temporarily. The
trouble with Mr.. Colburn this time seemed
to be this: He bad dropped into a snooze
at one Of the railroad depots the afternoon
before, and as be was sick, or drunk, or
something at the time, bis slumber was
profound, He wakened fnally, however,
and he found that his elegant six dollar
chapeau Gas we say in the French langusge)
was gone. a negro hackman was
standing near, and Club Immediately jump
ed to the conclusion that he had stolen the
hat. He accused him Of tho theft, but tie
hickman Indignantly deni having even
seen his hat, Whe. eupon Club handed him
two or three straight from the shoulder,
probably with view of Jogging the hack
mans memory, and hoping that, upon re-
Election, the negro might remember having
stolen the hat. But the etf0rs was unsuc-
cessful, the backman's memory proved to
be very defective, and Club slept in the lock
up the night following. When the case
was called yesterday, GLIB made many
promises of ref ,rm in regard to his "daily
walk and conversation" and be was released
with he understanding that the Lext time
he gets drunk, he is to be sent to the county

Happy HymeneaI Gathering.

Ore of the most festive gatherings that
has come under our observation for many a
day was that which assembled on Mort b
Cherry street yesterday morning to witness
the marriage OF Fl. Fritz, an old and well
known resident of Dsaderick street 10 Miss
Eliza Fessler. The ceremony occurred at
IL O'Clock, Rev. DR.. HoYte of the Second
Presbyterian church officiating in his usual
impressive manner. The attendants were
w. NJ. Chickering and Miss Mary Fesser
and Andrew Saxer and Miss Fritz. The
friends of bride and bridegroom were there
in force 10 extend their congratulations to
the welded pair. Just as DR.. Hoyta pro-
nounced the blessing at the conclusion of
the ceremony, the Post Band who occupied
the portico in front of the parlor struck up
one of Mozart's beautiful prayers, and the
effect produced by the melodious and touch
ing strains csptivated all who were present.
The band afterwards played "Think of Me
Darling" and number of other pieces.
The next two hours were spent In feasting,
according to the old German custom, and
more social ard enjoyable reunion was
never witnessed in Nashville. The happy
couple left on the afternoon train for L ,uis-
vile and Cincinnati TO be absent several
days. Apleasant trip say we, and cordial
welcome upon their return.

The Clarendon, Is. Co. Press ntalns
a lengthy account Of the wooden railroad
or tramwaY which has been lately built, and
which brings 81 -DniDg Courthouse in com
munic2tion with the outside world. This
road is fif cen and half miles long. The
whole structure is precisely similar to other
railroads, exec in place of iron, tbs road
has wooden strioges, four or five inches,
fastened down TO tbs crOssties ny Ions
iron spikes, passing throu! b both
stringer and eTosstie, making the
striuger both ste dy and firm These
stfingers are FIVE inches upon their face.
and the track or wheels Of the running
stock are five inches upon their face. The
friction in running being distributed over
wide surfaces, the injury TO the rail viii BE-
much less. The 6suges Of the wheels are
two and half inches deep, thereby pre-
venting ny probability of running off A
portion of this road has been in operation
FIVE months, over which trains have been
running daily, and most o. tie stringers
are smooth. The rolling stock is common,
but quite effectual. The engine is wo tn
only eighteen hundred dollars, but it is suf-
fcient to carry seven or eight cars, loaded,
at The rate of fifteen N les per hour. The
p.opIietors ar Low gone 10 the North To-
another engine o. greater capacity. The
TO ID is regarded rs a success and Dsvers

The road cost about twelve hu' dred dollars

DISCOVERY OF AMERICA.

Interesting rel cs of he cary dis oV-
cry Of America, OCCASIONAL turn up. A.
3 late meeting of the Mexican Geogrsp1i-
cal Society, Mr.. Bliss ated that some
brass tablets had been lately discovered
in the northern part of Brazil, aud not
far from the coast, which careful xami-
nalion has shown were covered with Pbe,
nicisn inscriptions, telling Of the discovery
Of America FIVE centuries before Christ.
The tablets had been scquired by the
Museum of Rio Janairo, With whose Direc-
tor he was personally acquainted, and the
connection of this gentleman with the dis
coVerY Of the tablets was in itself guarsn-
tee Of the correctness OF be report. The
iliscti tions, so far as yet deciphered, relate
that, from a port on the Red Sea, Sidon-
ian feet sailed, and, following the
east coast of africa, doubled thu Cape;
thence following the African west coast,
probably with the southeast trade winds
of the southern attitudes, until the north
ern trades, preventing further progress
northward, forced The prOws Of the YES
sells across the broad Atlantic. At any
rate, according 90 Mr.. Bliss, the tablets
record the fac Of the Phe iician feet
having reached the Americas five cen
turtles before Christ, At som, point TOW
known as Northern Brazil; that The tablets
give the number Of vessels, the number Of
the crews, the name of SIdOn as their home,
ard, indeed, variOu, very interesting partic-
ulars. Mr.. Bliss has promised, when he
acquires fur her particulars, to hand them
to the Society.

Vienna Premiums again, and the
American Sewing Machines.

b. "a ere. &c TO be 'Ganeral Regulations
Of the Vienna Universal ExhibiCion," pub
lished by Archduke Regnier, President Of
the perial Comm ssion, We fad medals
we to be ava ded, in the Mechanical De-
patment, in two classes, -One for MERIT,
and one for PROGRESS The medal for
merit vas for the article possessing tie
grpstest merit of It's kind and class; aud the
medal for progress for the article or any
thing which had made the greatest progress
sioa toward perfection. Qn this country
T. g award Of progress would be called sec

as tie Wilson Sewing Machine was the on
ly sewing machine that received the Grand
Med1l of Merit, when the awards were
made al the Vienna Exposition, it must
have been the best sewing machine on ex-
hibitioD; althou other sewing machines
that received medals for progress should not
be considered very inferior machines. At

Joe Cloud, the famous osrsmap, who
wagered $1,000 to row from Philadelphia
to New Orleans, a distance of 1927 miles,
arrived at Hickman, Kentucky, on Wednes-
day morning last, at 81 o'clock. The
stipulations require him to run % miles
per day, and prohibits him from eating and
sleeping in hotels; consequently he lives
and sleeps in his boat. The contract also
requires of bin to consume 145 DAYS, which
seems to be question of endurance. The
skiff he is using is one of the kind known
as double-ender, and weighs sixty pounds.
1t is sbapely built, and 1spted for rapid
and easy rowing. 1t is fifteen ana hal
feet in length, with three feet and eight
inches breadth Of beam. Cloud is deter
mined TO attempt the feat, and is said to be
of q perseVering disposition, generally &C
c0mplishing whatever he undertakes. His
weight is 1876 pounds, shade under 6 feet
in height, with 16 inches measurement of
arm muscle, 45 inches across the breast, III
inches calf. He possesses a powerful phys
ique, and has good name for long pulls in
several of the South American States, from
which he has lately returned. He is ma
tive Of Philadelphia, and is backed by sew
eral men of means, who desire TO be name
less. 1t is required of him to make the
last 100 miles in "a hours. His arrival at
Hickman occasioned no little excitement,
large crowds turning out TO meet and COIL
verse with him.
