The social side Of Business.

It has long been Gus omary for members
Of the firm of Evans, lite, Porter * Co. to
give an annual entertainment to the at
taches of their house. These social gath
erings, where employers and employed
meet together around the festive board
after a year of harmonious labor, always
abound in pleasant and fraternal greetings,
and are beneficial alike to the proprietOrs
and the gentlemen in their employment.
Mr.. Porteris reception last night, like that
given by Mr.. Fife Christmas night, was
joyous ard cordial, and will long be pleas
antly remembered by its participants. On
each occasion, generous hospitality united
with good fellowship and kindly feeling in
casting aside restraint, and making all feel
they were indeed at home. The earnest
wish ofthose entertained is that the staunch
house with which their lot is cast may never
have occasion tonegret the kindness extend
ed on the occasions mentioned, and that all
may live to participate in many more such
festive gatherings.

A Soft Thing for Chattanooga,

In the Chattanooga Commercial of yes
terday we find this cheerful paragraph:
''The Chattanooga Iron Company yester-
day received an order from Illinois for four
hundred tons of their mill lion. The pur-
chasers, who are engaged in the manu-
facture of nails, accidentally got Ihold of
some of the iron, and it suited their pur-
pose so well they wanted more of it. Up
on investigation they found it came from
Chattanooga, and hence this order. A lot
Of their foundry iron used for castings, in
Cleveland, the indemnity of which had been
lost, was found to be of such excellent
quality that il was traced back through
the various purchasers tie same way.
These evidences Of the superiority Of their
iron should be very gratifying to the COM
pany and, in fact, to every citizen of Chat
taDOOga and the surrounding country in
terested in the development of our iron in
tereSts. We predict that when the excel
lent quality Of its products become little
better known, the Chattanooga furnace will
have orders for more iron than il can pro-
duce, even if the present stagnation in the
iron business should continue.

r. Z. MacdulI, lecturer of some celeb

upon b. some of the ladies of the Robert

"The People we Meet and Their Peculiari-
ties"-certainly very progressing theme.
The following extracts faOm contempt
rary papers sufficiently recommend Mr..

As a lecturer, Mr.. Macduff is fluent,
ready, apt and very happy in illustration.
As reasoner, close, forcible and convinc-
ing. As an orator, pleasing, attractive,
magnetic. His delineations of human
character are wonderful and his perception
into the sinner man" astonishing. He is
a Young man worthy Of all praise for his
noble efforts TO elevate the standard of in
telligence and morality among the young
of the age.-OhiO Patriot.
His elOcution is polished and graceful,
his manner impressive and pleasing, his
fluency wonderful. His future cannot fail
TO be highly honorable and successful
Oxford, o., Citizen.
In addition to the lecture, there will be
a concert of unusual interest and pleasure,
as many of our most accomplished ladies
and gentlemen will engage in it.
We trust that all whocan will be present,
as the object is one Of charity, the Opera
House not charged for and none of The par
Elephants to receive any compensation for
the entertainment.

FavOrabIy Impressed With the City
Prison.

4 good natured East Tennesseean who,
while in high state Of artificial excite
ment, somehow or other, managed to get
into the work-house, but who, after night
of quiet rest got to be very serene, expressed
himself yesterday as highly pleased with
the institution to which be had been tenn
porarily consigned, the first place of the
kind he had ever had an opportunity Of
viewing. He was particularly well pleased
with the industrial feature of the prison,
saying that everybody, whether in or out
of Jail, felt better and happier while at
work than when idle. lie vas also favor
ably impressed with the sanitary condition
Of the prison, its immensely of space, and
proximity to the placid Cumberland. After
descanting at length upon the points indi-
Gated, the gentleman from the Eastern Di-
vision said with a sort of pathetic emphasis
that he was in favor of work-houses, and
thought every man ought to have one and
be compelled to stay in it, except when ne
cessarily absent on a temperance mission
or something of that kind.

Felix Robertson, colored, was before
Justices Cassetty and Paul yesterday on
the charge of assault and battery on the
person of John Hurd, colored. The evil
dence was that last Thursday morning,
Robertson and Hurd had a quarrel con-
corning some steaks, in the course of which
the latter was kicked in the stomach and
the former struck on the side of the head
with large iron fork. The interference
of bystanders put an end to the fight and
the combatants cooled down. Alter which
il is said Robertson threatend TO collect
a number of his pals and mob Hurd. The
latter laughed at the threat, Sut afferward
discovered that he had thought too lightly
Of the matter. He saws that as he was GO
ing home, about halfpast nine O'Clock
Thursday night, he heard some one stepping
lightly behind him, near the corner of Ce-
dar and Summer streets. Turning round
to see who il was, a stone thrown with
great force struck him in the left eye,
and will probably cause him TO lose
the use of that valuable organ.
While staggering from the effects of
the blow be received another lick in the
back from his unseen assailant. A man
on the street, a few PAGES distant, called
out 10 the attacking party 10 deSist, when
he turned and fled. Hurd then succeeded
in reaching his home, but till yesterday
was unable to appear in court. Robertson
was bound over in the sum Of $500 for his
appearance before the Criminal Court. He
then swOre out warrant against Hurd for
assaulting him with the fork, when the
latter gave bond for his appearance before
the above named Justices at 8 O'Clock this
morning.
George Green, colored, Cor some time
past under Jailer Heverin's care, on the

Pestiferon. streams.

What to do with Lick branch and Wilson
Spring branch, so as to make them less
hurtful to the public health, if not to en-
tirely deprive them of their terrors as
breeders Of pestilence, is at present point
of earnest inquiry with members of the
City Council, as well as with many ciii-
zens. The questions discussed relate to
what kind of sewerage, and at what points,
will most certainly and effectually accom-
plish the purpose desired. To straighten
Lick branch, and construct a stone arch
culvert across Cherry street, has already
been determined upon and an appropriation
of s., 700 made for that work. As to VIII
son Spring, nothing tangible has yet been
hit upon. The sooner the city authorities
provide for il, the better.

Choral Reereatsons.

The members OF the West End Choral
Society held their Christmas meeting Mon
day night, at the old church building. The
time was put in most pleasantly and the
fun abated not until the lateness of the
hour admonished the participants to be go
ing. When the sexton opened the doorthe
next morning, he marveled much at The
great profusion Of corks scattered over The
floor, but knowing that the gentlemen Of
the Choral Society were all temperance
Lecturers, wisely concluded that other par.
ties had certainly been around.

happened that he got left in that

over the ex-Pfesidents bad luck. They
had to wait there for the Nashville
bound tain on the Northwestern road,
and their establishment was great at
seeing Mr.. johnson step off that train. 1t
turned out that he had gone up the Mobile
and Ohio road from Humboldt, and reached
Union City before the Northwern train came
along. Some Of his ardent admirers re-
marked, loosely, that they hoped he would
make as good time in the Senatorial race.
