HONORS TO THE HEROIC DEAD.
Decoration of the Confederate Graves
Last Sunday.

The ceremony Of decorating the graves
of the Confederate dead at Mt. Olivet
Cemetery last Sunday afternoon, was par
ticipated in by over five thousand people,
large number of whom came in private We
hicles foom distance of many miles. The
occasion was observed with due solemnity,
there being no noisy demonstrations either
at the grounds or on the numerous roads
by which the vast throng reached the GEM
etery.
According to previous agreement there
were no public exercises, no speaking and
no prayers, but parties were escorted
through that portion of the cemetery set
apart as the last resting place of those brave
ones who gave their lives in defense OF
their homes and fresides, and over the
graves of these departed heroes the choicest
productions of the floral kingdom were
scattered with generous hand. Then the
thousands who had been drawn together
for a brief hour by a common feeling OF
love and veneratiOn for the memory Of the
honored dead, separated and returned to
their respective homes, Overwhelmingly
bettered-by this turning aside from the
beaten path of life to drop tear to the
memory Of the loved and lost, and cast a
flower upon the mound which marks their
last resting place.

Diseases Of the Blood. -aThe BIZ

Diseases OF the BlOOd.-"The Blood is
the Life" When this source is corrupted,
the painful and sOTow-producing effects are
visible in many shapes. The multifarious
forms in which it manifests itself, would
form subjects upon which L might write
volumes. But as all the varied forms Of
disease which depend upon bad hood are
cured, or best treated, by such medicines as
take up from this fluid and execrete from
the system the nOxiOus elements, i: is not
of practical importance that | should de-
scribe each. Forinstance, medical authors
describe about fifty varieties of skin disease,
but as they all require for their cure very
similar treatment, il is of no practical util
ity to know Just what name TO apply to a
certain form of skin disease, so you know
how best TO cure it. Then again, might
90 on and describe various kinds of scrofu
lous sores, fever sores, white swellings, ell
larged glands, and ulcers of varying appear
ance; might describe how virulent poison
NAV show itself in various forms of erup-
tiOns, ulcers, sore throat, bOny tumOrs, etc;
but as all these various appearing manifes-
tations Of bad blood are cured by uniform
means, deem such course unnecessary.
Thoroughly cleanse the blood, which is the
great fountain of life, and good digestion, a
fair skin, buoyant spirits and vital strength
and soundness of constitution, will all re-
turn to us. For this purpose, DIR. Pierce's

WHOSE GIRL.
A Nashville wsif Living on Kentucky
Charity.

The Hickman Courier has the following
story about a young waif who is supposed
TO have drifted from these parts:
"More than two years ago, as we learn,
little girl, then about nine years of age,
was put off from the cars of the Nashville
and Northwestern Railroad at this place,
and turned loose upon the streets. A gen.
tleman by the name of May, living on Lit
tie Obion, four miles above this place,
CHANGED to be in town, and learning Of her
condition, took her home with him; he at
that time was living with his mother, an
aged lady and widow. Mrs. May took
charge OF the child brought TO her house
by her son until her death, which occur
red something over year ago. Since that
time the little girl has had various homes.
About month ago she was handed over TO
the Judge of this county for the'purpose OF
his providing her suitable home at the
expense of the county. One side Of her
seems to be partially paralyZed, and she
walks with difficulty, and is unable to per-
form scarcely any kind of manual labor.
Owing to her afflicted condition it is inn
possible to find any one willing to take her
as a bound apprentice. She gives her
name as Sally knight, and says that her
fathers name was Calvin knight, and is
dead. Of her mother she has no recollec-
ton. She says that she was sent 10 this
place by Mrs. Badger, of Nashville, and
that she has relations living in that city.
How much reliance is to be placed in the
account which she gives of herself, and
from where she came, we are unable to say.
She is rather sprightly, but entirely unedu-

LOVE AND MOONSHINE.
.ay Daushter, Oh My Daughter,

NY Daughter, On MY DouSnter!
At three o'clock Sunday morning young
couple from Lebanon, Tenn, reached this
city. They came in buggy and had driven
all night, their horse being we'll jaded. The
young man was about twenty-five years Of
age, while the lady was not more than sew
enteen. She was richly dressed and very
handsome.
1t was the old story of deep and fervent
love, with a 'tStern parent in the back
ground. The young couple could not af-
ford to wait, though the stern parent ex-
hibited indications of weakening, having
intimated that he might give his consent to
the match, after his daughter got a little
older.
Saturday night the Lebanon young
folks got up grand moonlight ride, some
of the party going horseback, while others
occupied buggies behind clean-heeled trot-
tiers. Among the latter were the couple in
question. They took papa's horse and
buggy and rode out with the merry party,
but they soon separated from the others
and found themselves spinning along the
well-beaten pike, headed toward Nashville.
Then the young man encircled the maid
ems slender waist with his left arm, keep
ing his right hand free for guiding his
horse. The proud head, with its wealth of
brown hair, fell over upon supporting
shoulder, and the owner of that shoulder
and that left arm grew eloquent as he
urged the maiden to improve the present
opportunity, fly with him to Nashville,
thence to Columbia, where he has relatives
living, and become his own, dear wife,
then and there.
The maiden hesitated. She loved Au-
guStus, to be sure, and if she could not
marry him, would marry no one-never,
so longed as she lived. But then, on the
other hand there were the kind parents and
the pleasant home she had left short time
before-could she disobey the father and
mother who had been so kind to her, and
with whom her slightest wish was law,
with this one exception,) could she leave
home wherein the past years OF her life
had passed so pleasantly?
The encircling arm clasped the yielding
folm in a closer embrace, the pleading
tones became more tender and the dark
ewes more irresistible in their glances.
The claims of parents and home vanish and
the consent of the brown-hairedgir is won.
Upon reaching Nashville, the young man
secures fresh horse al livery stable, and
in short time the couple are on their way
to Columbia, assigning as their reason for
not getting married here their fear of being
overtaken by the exasperated father OF the
lady.
The Young man, who is, our informant
states, a clerk in bank at Lebanon, stated
that he had $500 in his pocketbOok, and
thought that sum ought to carry him
through.

VERDICT FOR PLAINTIFF.
A Nashville Lawyers Success Mt Rus
seIlyille, Kentucky.


Referring to the trial In that city last
week, wherein Mrs. Hester Brown, of
Nashville, was plaintiff, and the Louisville
and Nashville and Great Southern Railroad
Company defendant the RussetLrttle
Herald has this to say Of Gen. Bate, of this
city:
"Gen. Bate, of Nashville, commenced
by saving that he felt somewhat abashed at
the very favorable mention of himself by
the preceding COUNSELLOR in this place
Crittenden, Sharp, Bise, Ewing, and host
of others, renowned in the land, assembled
to the zenith of fame, and he feared he
would fall short of public expectation. He
then drew picture of a soulleSs corporation
its inordinate power-lts appliances--its
almost limitless wealth-its means for ex-
ecuting its wants and wishes; and then,
by contrast, his client-a lone widow and
an orphaned chIld-her desolate cottage
her want of means-the destruction OF her
Young hopes, and the want and mis-
cry entailed upon her by the willful negli-
gence of this gigantic corporation. His ap-
peal to the sympathies was elegant, elo-
quent, and powerful, and for an hour and a
half he held the court and audience en-
tranced by the vigor of his style and the
delicacy and minuteness Of his classically
drawn SMILES. The jury, after celebrating
several hours, brought in a verdict Of ST.
166 for the plaintiff"
