a SDfIed DumnIfnr

It becomes our painful duty to chrOn-
icle another evidence of human depTav-
ity. Men insult each other, degrade
every profession, break every COM
mandment, but this is the first instance
where an individual has become so ut
terly depraved as to publicly renOunce,
denounce, insult, spit upon, and actually
assault, that old-fashioned, time-hon-
ored, sacred relic of departed culinary
excellence, Dumping. All offenses,
however, are attended with SOME palia-
ting circumstance, and this one offers
the excuse that this Dumpling was a
woman. Mrs. Dumping, indeed, is the
name by which her friends designate
her. Another excuse for the violence
done this Dumping, is set forth in the
facts which were elected before Esq.
Alexander on last Friday. Mrs. d. had
occasion to pass the domicil of ye cyp-
reans, Mollie Hudson and Martha Ma
lone, the day before, and took occasion
as she passed to offer some remarks de-
rogatory TO the character of said y. c's.,
which remarks they unanimously voted
out of order. She then offered an
amendment to the previous motion,
taking everything back, but reiterating
them in a more fOrcible manner. She
offered long string of resolutions ex-
pressive of the sense of the meeting,
which were rebutted by counter resOlu-
tons from the other side. THIS was in
dulged in for considerable time, until
finally, the cypreans seeing that they
were likely TO lose the day if they did
not resort TO other means, conceived and
executed an astllte coup d'etat. mother
words, one seized the Dumping and the
other paddle and proceeded to mix
them up promiscuously, until they had
mixed the ingredients TO their satisfac-
ton. Then they set the Dumping
away to cool. Policeman Richardson
soon appeared and conveyed the trio
before Esq. Alexander, who proceeded
TO cook them. The only difficulty he
experienced in assessing fine of 50 and
costs each, was that Mrs Dumpling
could not be induced to sit down during
the trial. We suppose she was sore over
| her defeat.

Mr. EDITOR We have an honest sad

pecially by the ladies.
/ However, Nc was q little unfortunate
and by some hook or crook has case in
/ Judge Martins Court at Pulaski, and to
/ insure success, has secured the services
Of Charlie Jones, Esq'r-, as Attorney.
4 Court being in session, Nc expected his
case to be called for trial this week, and
/ instructed his attorney TO notify him in
| time to be present with his witnesses
when the case should be reached on the
docket. On the morning Of the first Of
April as the north-bOund train passed
up, Nc was handed note, purpOrting
to come from Jones, requesting him to
be present with his witnesses. who were
Col. G. and Capt. T., of Lynnville.
Consequently all necessary preparations
were made, and when the sOuth-bound
train arrived, all three stepped on and
secured seats, but as the Conductor
touched the bell cord @. and I. saw
men in the next car whom they wished
to see on urgent business. Therefore
they passed out, leaving Nc behind, and
at that moment Major c., tour polite

entered the coach and handed BIC q note
which ran as follows: 'sA8E FOOLS dayl

sold several times during the morning,

the conductor, who informed him that

his seat utteFing a faint exclamation, /
''sold again, by guml"
Arriving at Pulaski Nc rushed up to
his Attorneys office, and after brief
they arrived at the conclu-
sion that it was a huge joke and the on
~ remedy left was to take it with the
best grace possible under the circumstan- /
ces. Me left the office feeling somewhat |
down at the mouth, but fortunately for
him, chance threw our noble sheriff in
his way, and after investing thirty cents
with mutual friend, the sheriff came
to his relief by placing his noble sorrel
at his disposal, which he accepted with
gladness, and in few moments was
winding his way homeward, a wiser, If
not better man. AS the sun was

nr O. q Alternately.


DIR. c. c. Alternately, of Pulaski, Pres
ident of the Tennessee Medical Assoeia-
ton, was to have delivered an address
before that body at its annual sitting in
Chattanooga last Tuesday, but was I'M
able to be present, on account of the
very serious illness of DR.. J. p. Butler,
of Aspen Hill, in this county, who has
had a very severe attack of acute infiam-
atory rheumatism. We had the pleasure
OF hearing the address read the other
day and unhesitatingiy pronounce it an
extraordinary paper. It was sent to
the Association and was 70 have been
read before that body by DIR. Plunketti
of Nashville. DIR. Alternately enjoys an
enviable reputation with his brother
physicians, end we regret that eireum-
stances prevented his attendance at their
annual meeting.

IL At the meeting at the court
house last Monday for the purpose OF
calling a convention for the nomination
of candidates for county offices there
was not the least opposition to the meas
ure developed, although there was con-
siderable quibbling and confusion over
parliamentary rules. The only differ
ence that arose in the meeting was as to
the time of holding the convention,
some insisting on the 1st Monday in
May and others on the first Monday in
June as the most suitable time. An at
tempted adheranee to parliamentary
rules almost forced the meeting, against
a decided majority in opposition, to
adopt the LIST Monday in May as the
time, but right finally prevailed against
usage, and June was adopted. We can
not conceive that it makes a great deal
Of difference which time the convention
Is held, so it is full and fair voice of
the people. We hope the districts will
attend promptly to the primary cOnven-
tiOns, Saturday proceeding the list Mon
day in June.

onarterrv Court.

The April term Of the County Court
was held in Pulaski last Monday and
Tuesday, Judge J. L. Jones presiding.
An unusual amount of business came
before the body, mostly Of minor impor-
lance. The proposition to make an ap-
preparation for a bridge across Elk river
at ElktOn was defeated by a large vote.
The rate of taxation for county pur-
poses was fixed at mills on the dollar,
and the tax on privileges remains about
the same. The total tax to be levied is
IL mills less than last year.
A committee was appointed to have
one Of the abutments of the bridge at
Pulaski repaired. It is being under
mined by the water.
$500 were appropriated fer the Poor
House.

IL A rather ludicrous Incident oc-
CURED the other day in Pulaski. A gro
Ger received an order from a citizen to
send to his residence barrel OF -four.
The grOcer's porter being absent, he
put the flour in his express wagon and
proceeded to deliver it himself. 1t hap
pened that just at this time the citizen
who purchased the -four was minus a
servant at his house and His wife was
performing the kitchen work, and when
the grocer drove up with the flour he
found the lady Of the house in the
kitchen zealously engaged in her cult
nary duties. He very naturally took
her for the servant, and with more We
hemence than courtesy ordered her to
assist him in unloading the -four, while
on the other hand the lady was enraged
that she should thus be ordered about
by whom she as naturally supposed to
be porter. Remarks incident to such
occasions were freely INDUCED in, and
the whole wound up by the grocer re-
porting to the citizen how he had been
Jawed by his cook, and the wife com
planning to him how she had been sassed
by the porter. Our citizen friend is a
jolly good fellow and he took the situa-
ton in al a glance, but he didn't wish
to mOrtify his wife by letting her know
that she had been jawin' a gentleman,
and was equally averse to informing the
grocer that he had been sassin' lady, |
and he laughed in his sleeve as he prom |
ised his wife to have the porter punished, |
and the grocer to have the cook repri-
and each of the individuals re-
ioice to-day in the belief that their in
suits have been avenged.

@. p. ChurcIl Supper.

A supper for the benefit of the G. p.
Church win be given at Masonic Hall
ON the evening of Thursday, April 10th.
It is already known to the public that
this Church has recently been repaired
and reorganized, with a limited men,
bership. They have been heavily taxed
to accomplish the repairs already made,
and resort to this expedient as an easy
and pleasant way to raise the small
sum necessary to purchase a carpet and
complete the painting, sc. 1t is to be
hoped that the generous Christian people
of Pulaski win give 1t their patronage
Admittance one dollar for adults and
fifty cents for children.

IL A prayer meeting was being held
in the Jail at this place one day last
week for the spiritual good of Bryant,
the condemned man, at which brother
Tom Looney OBLIGATED. Tom has hith-
ertO appeared in role entirely opposite
to that of prayist, and has gained con-
siderable reputation as a manipulation of
pine-top busthead, &C., and his perform
ance on this occasion was necessarily
crude, the manner of which may
be inferred by the effect it had
upon the prisoners, one of whom,
when the prayer had been finished and
everything was as solemn and still as
death, pOked his nose through the gra-
ting of his cell and calculated with a
nasal twang which gave it an air of
solemn expOstulation: "Third lady
cross over and grab fourth gent by the
seat of the brooches and all prone
nader 'Shut your mOHf, you d-m
fool; dis amt no corn shuckin'," was
hurled back by devout participator.

Taxes Reduced.

The wise and prudent management of
the finances of the county by our pres
ent County Court deserves notice and
approval. The report of the Chairman
in January showed the county oas OF
debt and $40, goo ahead. At the April
term the Court determined on reduce
ton of taxes. After making judieious
and ample provisions for public educa-
ton, and ali other county necessities
they are enabled to reduce the tax Ave
cents on the hundred dollars OF proper
ty, without increasing either polls o.
privileges.

Ne. Tinnon,s Lecture.


Jno. A. Tinnon, Esq'r, lectur, to a
large audience at Antoinette Hall last
Friday evening on the subject of Soon
servatism, viewed from a Fossil stand
point.'' The lecture was one of the
most learned illusions we have listened
to in many day, rejecting credit even
upon the able lecturer himself. he
characterized as fossil that cOnserva-
tive element in man which impels him
to hold to old opinions just because his
fathers entertained them. He then took
up geology, metaphysics, philosophy,
astronomy, and in fact all the sciences,
separating the fossil from the real, going
in his researches through labyrinth of
thought and learning wonderfully edi-
fving. He wound up his most interest
ing lecture by an imaginative flight into
the future, to look back to our own
time and see the opinions which we now
entertain as orthodox turned into fossils,
and the inventions which have charac-
terized our century supplanted by Others
so vastly superior as to render them al
most luQlcrOuSs lie substituted LOT
railroads that vision OF inventors, the
flying machine, and on wings of steel
he wheeled his flight from city to city,
and from continent to continent. This
flight into the perspective was received
with bursts of applause by his hearers,
evincing that even the people do not be-
lieve in impossibilities. Mr.. Tinnon
paid handsome tlibute to the press and
lectures, saying that they were the We
hicles through which knowledge was
transmitted to the masses, having more
power to this end than all other means
Many of our people are losing much
by not attending the lectures of the Ly-
eeum regularly. They are beginning to
appreciate them, however, and the audi
ence each month Is augmented in num-
bers. We predict that it will not be
long before the people will find these
lectures so entertaining that Antoinette.
Hall will be crowded on each occasion.
