The San Francisco Chronicle of Jan. S
says that in the Assembly AIr. Wickware
introduced an act to authorize the closing
of certain streets in San Francisco Tor the
purpose of an agricultural and mechanical
fair ground and for a race track. 1t is Un-
derstoOd that an association has leased the
ground from the owners, and that the board
of supervisors is willing to grant the right
to fence in the streets. The race track is
to be a mile. Opposition to the act is an
ticipated from parties interested in other
tracks in the neighborhood of Sau Fran
cisco.

Concert.

The concert to come off at the Second
Presbyterian Church tonight bids fair to
afford a rich treat to all who love good
music. We had the pleasure Of attending
the final rehearsal last night, and cannot
speak too highly OF the care and precision
with which the chOrUses were rendered, all
the parts being well sustained and moving
together in perfect harmony.
Mrs. Vessel is 10 sing angels Ever
Bright and Fair which is a guaranteed that
full justice will be done to one Of Handel's
most beautiful solos. Mrs. Hart sings O
Jerusalem.-frUm MendelsSchn's ST. Paul.
We are so-ry to learn tl.Rt this will be our
last opportunity of hearing her sing, for
Nashville can lily afford to lose so fine a
vocalist. Our best wishes 60 with her to
her new home.

SINFUL SETTINGS.

His name was C.. W. Watkins. His
offence consisted in his having INDUCED in
disorderly conduct and his fine amounted
TO five dollars.
James Fitzgerald was called upon to ex-
plain away the charge of drunkenness and
disorderly conduct which was entered on
the police docket in Immediate ~juxtaposi-
ton 10 his cognomen. Ills explanation
being very lame and imperfect, a special
tax of five dollars was levied upon him.
Tom WilkerSon and Ben French were
both proven guilty OF having used very
abusive language indeed. Judge Duling
fined each of them two dollars and a half,
as their conduct was calculated to- retard
the earnest efforts he is making TO improve
the daily walk and conversation OF the res
identS Of Nashville.

Another stray Baby.

Early yesterday morning a negro hey,
about seven months old, was found on the
porch adjoining DIR. GOan's drug store in
Edgefeld. The child, which is quite large
and active, was comfortably wrapped up,
having three heavy jackets on and a red
cloak outside of all. The deputy city mar
shall of Edgefeld, Sam Green, placed the
child in the hands of Maria Ross, a colored
woman who lives out on the Whites Creek
pike, North Edgefeld. Those who have
lost or mislaid an infant of the above de-
scriptiOn, can obtain this n by proving

SENSATION OLE srARYINa-

For the first two days through which
a strong and healthy man is doomedito
exist upon nothing, his sGherings are
perhaps more acute than in the remain
ing states-he feels an inordinate, un-
speakable craving at the stomach,
night and day. The mind runs upon
beef. bread and other substantials, but
still, in a great measure, the body re-
tains It's strength. On the third and
fourth days, but especially on the
fourth, this incessant craving gives
place to a sinking and weakness of the
stomach, accompanied by a nausea.
The unfortunate sufferer still de-
sires food, but with loss of strength
he loses that eager craving which Is
Felt IN the earlier stages. Should
he chance 10 cbtain. Il morsel or
two of food, he swallows L with a
wolfsh avidity; but five minutes after
ward his sufferings are more intense
than ever. He feels as if he had swal-
lowed a living lobster, which is clawing
and feeding upon the very foundation
| of his existence. On the fifth day his
| checks suddenly appear hollow and
| sunken, his body Sttenuated his color
is ashy pale, and his eye wild, CLASSY;
| canibalish. The different parts Of the
system now war with each other. The
| stomach calls upon the legs to go with
it in quest of food; the legs, from very
weakness, refuse. The sixth day brings
with it increased suffering. although
the pangs of hunger are lost in
an empowering laguor and sick
ness. The head becomes giddy-
the ghosts of well-remembered dinners
pass in hideous professions through
the mind. The seventh day comes,
bringing increased lassItude and fur
Their prOstration of strength. The arms
hang ~lifelessly, the legs drag heavily.
The desire for food is still left, to a de-
gree, but it must be brought, not
sought. The miserable remnant of life
which still hangs to the sufferer is a
burden almost too grievous to be borne;
yet his inherent love Of existence IN
duces a desire still to preserve it, If it
| can be saved without a tax upon bodily
| e4ertion. The mind wanders. at one
moment he thinks his weary limbs can
not sustain him a mile, the next he is
endowed with unnatural strength, and
If there be a certainty of relief before
him, dashes braTely and strongly for
ward, wondering whence proceeds his
new and sudden impulse.

OBSERVATION leads to the Inference
that much of the dyspepsia and general
weakness of the digestive organs unhappily
so common in this country is attributable
to the inevitable frying-pan. In all the
restaurants where food is kept ready cook
ed, as is the case in every one of the new
kind of cheap n that have lately sprung
into existence, the steaks and chops are
fried instead of boiled. As a proof OF the
difference, in a hygienic point Of view, be-
tween fried meat and boiled or roast, it is
only necessary to say that a trainer who
would feed his principal on the first
would be secuted at as a ''bloke,r a "duf-
fer" and a "fraud." Wherefore, let all
these epithets be lavished upon the cook
who persists in using thefrying-pan instead
of the gridiron. But the cook has a word
to say about this, too. In brOiling the
sup~erfluous grease escapes; in frying much
of it remains in the meat, but more is Te-
tanned by the pan and is a source Of reve-
nue. TO the kitchen.

1t appears that there is considerable dis
satisfaction among the merchants, whoown
stock in the exposition, On account Of its
discontinuance, and it is said that disap-

Of the merchants to consider the action of

to give up this important enterprise for
