havoc was made. One of the proprietors
died. In his brothers family wife and
two children were buried, and 60 great
was the excitement and fright that, am
told, the husband had to prepare the
bodies for the tomb. In their fathers
family all but two were buried. These
are individual cases. But l failed to
find a single person who has not had
cholera symptoms, more or less violent in
their effects. Every house is pervaded
with the odors of disinfectants every
person smells of assafetida and cam.
phor everything possible has been done
to stay the disease. Rosin, pine, tar. and
coal were burned by orders of the Board
of Health, so that one could feel The heat
all over the place. From my room at
midnight l could hear the noises of fu-
nerals. They were compelled to bury
the black corpses at these hours in the
hope Of partly concealing the havoc and
preventing contagion from the stencil.

A Brace of JOkers,

Applicants for the position of conductor
on the st. Louis and Southeastern road are
not employed unless they can bring writ

as practical jokers, consequently little incl

currence along that line of road.
A delegate to the Grand Lodge of Good
Templars, which has just closed its session
here, was among the passengers of Con-
ductor Epperson's train few days since.
His fellow passengers noticed that he was
particularly careful of q small box
be hid with him, and IS he took
occasion TO make the fact of his
being Good Templar generally known, his
attention was engaged whilst Epperson
slipped small flask Of whisky into the
small box Aforesaid. 1T is probably unneces-
sary to state that Epperson borrowed the
fask.) One OF the passengers then asked
the Voluble Good Templar what the box
contained, and upon being told that it can
tanned his regalis, the passenger manifested
a great desire to see It. Considerable
urging was required, as the Good Templar
chap said he didn't want to "muss" the
regalia, but his objections we're finally over
came, and carefully raising the lid of the box
and disclosed the flask, well filed with that
liquid which both cheers and inebriatss.
The other passengers gathered around, and
added to the poor fellows misery by saying
that they now understood bis reluctance to
show what was in his box.
For several days an effort has been made
to secure conductor Bostick as witness in
law suit, being tried at Mt. Vernon, Ills,
station on the line of the road, but Bos-
tick has managed TO elude the officer thus
far, though he came near be!ngcaught one
day. He was standing on the platform at
the depot while small lot of freight was
being put on his train, when man stepped
up behind him and laid his hand upon bis
shoulder. "I'm goner' thought Bosl ick, but
before the man opened bis mouth be turned,
and saying "Excuse me moment" step
ped upon the platform of car and asked
the man what he wanted. The latter
thereupon read subpoena, commanding
him to appear as witness before one Of the
courts at that place. ''Can't possibly CO."
responded Bostick. "I'm conductor of q
train; my train carries the United States
mail, and I'm in charge OF that train, and
aboard of it at this moment. Tell 'em I'm
sorry, but you see how it is yourself" He
pulled the bell cord, aud his 'fU. 9. mail

The I.ate Ennrna Nash.

The Washington Sunday Gazette of the
10Th inst. contains the following tribute to
the memory Of the late Emma Nash, of
this city: IF
Sleep in peace, dear Emma, your trials are DER.
The world with its sorrows can reach you no
more;
A daughter as loving, sister as kind,
A Christian as faithful we seldom may find;
NObly you lived-and as nobly you died.
The example you set--be it e'er at our side,
Our departed friend was a true child of
genius, and her mind had been unusually
well cultivated. She was favorite writer for
many Southern papers and periodicals, and
our readers can but remember the beautiful
poetic contributions from her prolific pen
which appeared in the columns of the
Sunday Morning Gazette last winter. She
bad Just come back to pass the season with
us again, but Death had marked her as b 8
own, even before she left Tennessee, and
she came here but to die. Her father and
other members of her family we're fortunate
ly with her, and her last moments upon
earth were cheered by their presence.
She has gone! and left us for land more fair;
Her glorified spirit has passed on before,
And crossed the river for a brighter shore,
Waiting for us there-waiting for us there.

larger last night than on the night previous
The play of Lotus and Leo was pre-
coded by the farce-The Youth who never
saw Woman, and the audience was kept
in the best possible humor throughout both
performances. -.
The local hits of Miss Ella Chapman and
Mr.. Ed Chapman were loudly applauded,
as was the clog dancing OF the former. In
the Character of Mira, Mr.. Ed Chapman
was so immense success, and he VIII prove
a favorite with Nashville audiences.
A matinee will be given at 2:30 this after
noon. on which occasion Lotus and Leo
will be repeated. Tonight, the ENGAGE
mert of the Chapman Sisters will close with
the presentation Of The Gold Demon, and
the farce of A Kiss in the Dark. We pre-
dict a well filed house at both matinee and

Kentucky, viii come off on the Sd day Of
December next. Orders for tickets are
pouring in at an Unprecedented rate, and
full drawing is confidently anticipated. The
success Of the former concerts, the honesty
and fairness with which they were conduct
ed, and the prompt payment of every gift as
awarded, induced every one the least in
clined to speculation to take chances in this
most magnificent scheme. The financial
panic which has recently shaken tire mon
eyed world to its very centre, aud rendered
doubtful all money values, has not in the
least affected the price of tickets or the
scheme. Every dollar arising from the sale
of tickets is placed Immediately in the
Farmers aud Drovers' Bank, and by it held
as a special deposit until after the drawing
And every gift awarded will be paid prompt
ly as in the past. To those who desire 10

like exceedingly to lose track of any one of
their belongings. One Of that style dropped
in at q railroad depot in this city yesterday,
and inquired of the polite and bland (the

will do well to note the neat appearance Of
these two adjectives) clerk who sat reading
a paper, with bis feet elevated on his desk,
a pen behind his ear and q pencil firmly
held between his teeth, ''if he'd hearn any
thing o. that ere Tag O. plumber" which she
had had shipped over that road year ago,
hut which never reached her. The p. and
h, clerk was sorry be couldn't tell her just
vherethat bag was at the present moment,
but be agreed to hunt it up at once. When
he succeeds in finding it, he is going to
send it to the old lady by mail.

The Fire Last Night.

The alsrm of fire which was sounded
about twelve O'Clock last night, was caused
by the burning of dwelling house and
grocery, owned and occupied by Mr.. "Peg-
Leg Ewing, and located outside the cor
porstion, near the end of Jefferson street..
The ninth ward engine was the first to
reach the burning buildings, but was unable
to get to work until the other engines ar
rived, through q lack of sufficient length of
hose. The buildings were entirely destroy
ed. Our reporter was unable to learn
whether or not there was any insurance on
them.
