Death Of Mile TouneI.

Very many Of our readers will drop a
tear and utter PRAYER on learning Of the
death of Mile Eugene NJ. TOupet, a lady
well known and greatly respected. She
was native of France, descended from a
distinguished family, highly accomplished,
and emphatically a Christian lady. Born
and raised in affluence, misfortune over
came her parents, but, like true woman,
she went to work with will, and for many
wears. in New York, Philadelphia, and in
Nashville, she devoted herself to giving in
stuctiOns in the French language, and
always succeeded in giving satisfaction,
paving expenses, giving her quota to chart
ty, and '.laying 10y" little for sickness and
old age But the war came, and with it a
train of misfOrtunes, which reduced
her to poverty, which her proud spirit re-
yolled against making known even TO her
friends, who would gladly have relieved
her had they been made acquainted with
the facts, for she numbered among her per
SUnal friends many Of our best and oldest
families. Next to her hOme-her adoTed
FTance-She loved the sunny South and
her people. Her spirit has departed from
a world of cares and troubles to its reward
above. The remains will be taken from
her late residence. No. go, South Summer
street, this morning. at hali-Past ; o'clock,
to the cathedral, and thence TO Calvary
cemetery. Members Of the Society of 1t.
Vincent de Paul will meet at the house, A.
above, at 5 o'clock this morning.

4 Last Appeal.

NASHVILLE, Aug. >, lS74.-ro the
white voters of Davidson county: l feel it
my duty TO make last appeal TO the white
voters Of Davidson county before they east
their votes. Remember the old adage-
''united We stand, divided We fall" We
all remember that the fatal split in the
Democratic party in 1860, elected Lincoln,
and " hat its fatal results have been. Be
warned in time. 1t Is not vet too late;
throw aside al personal feeling, unite in
one grand column, march up TO the polls
as a unit and vote for no one that did not
submit his claims TO the convention. IL
You do this, We are saved; If not We are
lost, irretTieyably lost. J. ID. 3

After making very elaborate prepa-

Friday that the man who he'd been en-
gagged to address them, could not attend,
wherefore Rev. l.. Hall Of this CITY

Gil the vacant place, AND HE DID IT,
so the people say. From those who
heard We learn that the address
was in every respect most excellent
and opportune, although improvised up
on notice Of less than a day, and
portion Of that brief space was spent in
using the invention of Sancho Panza.
They had large crowd, and every
thing passed of felicitously, under the
able supervision Of VIM. Henderson,
President Of the Day. The Leroy
band proved itselfa credit to the place
and the Glee Club covered themselves
with glory. When few vooalists can
sing in the open air, SO as to enthusc
a Methodist Minister, who is usually
satisfied with nothing less than whole
camp~meeting for choir, We know
that they are entitled to credit. II

in any particular feature Of the celebra'
ton, it was in the delicate courtesy
With which they treated tho Orator.
