We inadvertently neglected to men,
ton in our last issue that Col. Tom
Baker, of the West Tennessee Demo-
crat, called on us last week. Besides
being a live editor, he is a good law
yer, and is candidate for Attorney
general in his district. Here's success
to you, Colonel.
From a late issue of the Macon,
No, Journal We clip the following.
Mr.. Shepherd is former citizen of
this city, and his many friends will
welcome his return: emo. Shepherd,
ESQ, one Of our excellent citizens and
an able lawyer, will soon leave us to
make his home at Milan, Tennessee.
In common with hosts of friends here,
we regret the necessity Of his leaving,
as he is one of that sort of men whom
no community can well afford to lose
honest, upright and true. May
success and happiness attend him in
his new home"
Our old and valued friend, Col.
Franc NJ. Paul, late of Nashville, and

graduate the Appeal in securing his
services. He is fine business man
and perfect gentleman.

prospecting. And our grapevine"
operator brings us q dispatch still later
to the effect that he has, after a court
ship of only thirty years, succeeded
in capturing wife-vide result Of ex-

"man" after the participle "being'
is in the possessive case. 1t can only
then, be in the noninative or object
i've. If objective, it must be govern
ed by q transitive participle,
which "being' is not; or by a prepc-
sition understood, which cannot be
supplied and make sense; or have an
adyerbial relation of time, cause, man.
ner, degree, affirmation or denial,
which a moments reflection viii show
anyone it has not; or because "being
is preceded by an objective case,
which we have shown is is not. Hence
by a process Of negative reasoning we
can readily see the "man" must be
nominative case.

good authors, as:

YER DR.. Billions says: my opin-
ion was hazarded that lawyer was in
the objective case. x x l have
adopted the correction. 4 x 1t is
simply the predicate rOmiaatiUe."
A comparison Of these sentences
with the Saxon, and also with the
Latin and Greek idioms, still more
firmly establish this position. K.

0uE Defense.

The two last issues of the Ex-
CHANGE contain sensible articles in re-
gard to adopting some means Of pre-
venting the ravages Of fire, which We
all know is liable to break out in our
city at any moment, and, being with
out any available means Of defense,
sweep away in an hours time the
work of years; and l for one am glad
to see some interest manifested in the
matter, and hope the subject will con-
tinue to he agitated until some deci-
sive steps are taken looking to the
adoption of some plan to prevent or
check the ravages of this destroying
element.
1t is a fact admitted by all, that
the majority of our business houses
being constructed Of wood and our
streets narrow - the only time at
which FIRE could be checked before
the destruction of every business house
OH Main street and Front Row would
be in its incipiency. Then would it
not be well to have a night watch ap-
pointed Gas Anon suggested last week.,
who should 60 on duty at 9 pm. and
remain on duty until am, and that
he be commissioned as a member of
the regular police force with authority
to arrest end confne all evil doors
and suspicious characters, and that he
also be required to inspect every bust
ness house on Main street and Front
Row at least once every hour during
his watch and give the alarm should
anything be found going wrong; also,
that four or six FIRE extinguishers be
procured and placed in convenient and
accessible houses on Main street and
Front Row; when We will have an eff
fective fire department, to say nothing
of the burglaries prevented in the
course of twelve months.
Let each one Of the forty or more
business men on Main street and Front
Row pay $3.50 per month and it
makes a sum amply sufficient to secure
the services Of a thoroughly reliable
man; whilst the cost of half a dozen
fire extinguishers is trifing sum
compared TO the amount at stake.
Thus, at an outlay Of only few
dollars by each business man in the
city, we secure the only practicable
and available fire department that a
town of 1900 or 1000 inhabitants,
with water sixty or seventy feet below
the surface, is capable of sustaining.
Would it not be a good idea, Mr..
Editor, for our people to meet and
fully discuss this matter-so vitality i'm
portant to the interests of our young
| cityf Yours, DC,
BARKIs.

A Good Showing.

In 1872 the taxable property of
our city was valued at s216,000. The
last assessment shows a total valua-
ton on property in the corporation Of
$4,000, an actual appreciation of
over one hundred per cent. in eighteen
months. Can any city in the South
beat this?

Tennessee Central Railroad.

Work on the Tennessee Central
road is being pushed forward, nOtwith-
standing the inclement weather. Maj.
mman, Chief Engineer, informs us
that only two and a half miles remain
to be graded between this place and
McLemoresyille. The bridges, log
drains, culverts, etc, are being rapid
ly completed. Our city authorities
turned over to the President the last
installment of the city bonds last
week, making $4,000 issued to the
road. The prospects of the speedy
completion of the road to this place
were never better.

An Equine Curiosity.

A party of horsemen yesterday paid
visit to the equine curiosity which
arrived on Tuesday in the Mikado from
Australia, and is now at the Dexter
stables on Bush street. The name of
this remarkable curiosity is "Caoutc-
houc,n and he was captured in the
neighborhood of the Balloon river,
Queensland, when about two years old.
He is now about six years of age, of a
pure black from the tip of his ears to
his hoofs, but without single hair on
any part of his body. The color is not
unlike that of u black horse very
closely clipped, and the microscope
fails to detect single hair from nose
to tail. He is gelding, about fifteen
hands high, well made and very COM
pact, with fine clean legs, powerful
forearms and thighs, and a clean,
blooded, but unusually broad head,
from which sparkles pair of bright
eyes, beaming with good temper and
docility. His owners, Dat & Witchell,
paid handsome price for him, but
refused g1,500 in the colonies before
leaving for this country. This freak
of nature was examined by several
eminent veterinary surgeons in Aus
tralia, and they came to but one opin-
ion regarding this horse, which was
that there was no deception practiced,
and that in reality he was born with
out the least particle of hair upon him,
and consequently is one of the greatest
curiosities in horsefesh eXtant. He
is evidently not of the "woolly horse"
breed that was exhibited some years
since in New York. 1t is probable
that he will soon be placed on exhibit
ton here.-TS. f, Post.
