''Old Prob" who seemingly has an ire

does sometimes miss the mark in the latter

when in fact the reverse turned out to be
true. 1t was day of mild, genial, and
unbroken sunshine.

SINGULAR FREAK OF A MISCfIE-
VSETS CLERK

\ few DAYS since several Of the prOmi-
nen. wholesale firms in Savannah were sur
prised at recei ing large shipments Of
bGcDn. concerning which they knew naught,
not having ordered anything in that line
lately. The shipments were properly mark
ed, aud invoice revealed that they had been
mad by certain Western packers These
parties were at once addressed, and inquiry
made concerning these unexpected and I'M
solicited shipments, which bid fair to stock
tire bacon market. In reply, they were in
formed that the supplies were
shipped in accordance with the i'll
strucsions in letters from them Of the
date mentioned. As no such letters had
been written, TO the knowledge Of any of
the respective firms, this information only
increased the mystery. One of the firms,
however, sent for the letter said to have
been forwarded fr,m their house, and upon
receipt of this an investigation was made.
After some difficulty, the author was dis
covered to be young clerk in that city,
who, upon being closely questioned, con-
fessed that in each case the letters had been
written by him. but with what motive was
not learned. The freak was certainly a
singular one, as there was no possibility Of
profit being derived. The shipment, in
Gluding bacon and other supplies, to one
firm amounted to nearly $1,000.

Ann6emPnrG.

East Lynne was well rendered to an ap-
preciative audience at the Opera House by
the Selden Irwin troupe last night. This
play is a popular one with Nashville the
atre-gOers, and never has it been seen better
represented.
At 2 p. NJ. to-day a matinee will be
given, with the tickets at fifty and seventy
five cents. As this will be the last chance
Onr people will hEve for seeing Mr.. Rain
forth as Lord Dundreary, no doubt the
house will be crowded.
The engagement of the Irwin Company
closes with tO-night's performance, on
which occasion the play of Hounas, or the
Deserted Brewery, will be presented for
the first time in Nashville. This troupe
nave established themselves in the good
graces of our citizens, and we hope they
may soon visit us again. They leave after
the performance tonight for Bowling
Green, at which place they are billed for a
week.
WallacS'S Combination.-Next Friday
night the WallacK combination begin a
two nights engagement at the Opera
House. Their agent, Mr.. W. Ii. Harrison,
is now in the city, making the necessary
arrangements for the appearance of the
company.

HANDY WITH THE RAZOR.
Cutting and sIashins at a Negro Bali

Cutting and Slashing at q Negro Ball.
Last night a cOlOred ball was given in a
house near the line between the Fourth
Ward and the Thirteenth District. The
property is controlled by a eOlOred man
named Henry White. About o o'clock,
Tom Jones aud Henry Trabue, both col
ored, went 10 the house and were
soon raising row in the ball
room. Henry White, who lives near
by, came down to quell the dis
turb2nce. Some words having passed
between him and the parties mentioned
above, Trabue pulled out a razor and went
to slashing away on White in a very lively
manner, cutting him severely seven or
eight times in the right arm and thigh.
While White was being whitfield up by
Trabue, Jones began to throw rocks at the
former, doing, however, no harm. White
had his wounds dressed, went before JUS
tice Campbell, swore out warrants against
Jones and Petway and reported at police
headquarters. Some officers went imme-
diately to the place and succeeded in cap
turing Jones, but Trabue had made his
escape.

THE EXPOSITION.
The Attendance Increasing and the
Interest Deepening.

Interest Deepening.
The gentle moonlight and pleasant
zephyrs last night invited 10 the open air
and decidedly favored a visit to the Expo
sitiOn. A larger crowd than ever assem-
bled at that institution, thronging every
passage way and open space. Another day S
work had appreciably increased the magnifi-
cence of the show, and the interest mani
tested by the visitors was greater than on
any previous occasion.
If the impression has gone forth in any
direction that our Exposition is not a sue
cess, not credit to the city, not thing OF
which We have reason to be proud, such
impression is erroneous, for the Exposition
has already proven itself ali of these things
and promises more. The only difficulty
has been the delay of exhibitors in com
pleting their displays. This is now largely
made mp for, as the building is well filed.
Besides offering a splendid exhibition to
delight the eye hour after hour and day
after day, the Exposition offers varied facil-
tiles for amusement. The meeting of many
friends, the sight Of many strangers and the
society of the witching ladies ara not to be
reckOned among the slightest enioyments,
and these sre ampler than any other place
could afford. The Exposition supplies the
social pleasures of parks, gardens and mu-
seums, which our city does not enjoy on
any extensive scale. This accounts in no
insignificant degree for the superior at
tractiveness. The main appliances for fun
are shooting galleries and billiard rooms,
and these are freely used.
There are several manufactures in opera
ton at the Exposition every day. We
might mention the two candy factories,
employing several hands; cigar factory,
employing four hands; the shoe factory and
the pOtteTy-all of which draw curious
crowds 10 witness the processes of manu-
featuring.
Everything was in full display last night
and every department was well crowded
with visitors. The Art Gallery and HOrti-
cultural Garden attracted large groups.
The West End and Tnlip Street Church
establishment the dining hall, confec-
tionery, etc, did an excellent business.
These departments, in the hands of the
ladies in charge, lack nothing of perfection
and give the best satisfaction to a liberal
patronage. They furnish everything to be
had at the best conducted restaurants,
served in the best style, at the regular city
prices.

\ meeting of the SOvereigns of the Sixth

crowd was extremely bOisterous and the
speakers were frequently interrupted in
their harangues. John COckTell, Sam Rob

the aSsemblage. Petway seemed inspired
with extraordinary zeal and used 'cuSs

Sam Robertson crawled upon a large box
and made some rambling remarks to his
hearers. Toward the close Of his speech,

goingthe rounds of the voting places, We

hearty reception by the Howell challenges.
We trust that a majority Of these voters

AConricf Recanfnreh.

Yesterday afternoon, about three o'c'ock.
as a wagon from the penitentiary was being
driven along Church street, near the Office
of the Nashville Gas Light Company, a
convict riding in it, pointed to man dress
ed in citizens clothes, standing on the
street, and said to the guard that he was
an escaped convict.
The guard at once jumped from the
wagon and commanded the man to surTen-
der, at the same time pnesentinga revolver.
The convict seemed Inclined to offer some
resistance, and consequently slight struggle
ensued, but several citizens interfering, he
was recaptured and secured.
