Conformation AZ the Cathedral.

Generally speaking, when any great
event is to take place at the Cathedral, of
which the children are the SpaTties Of the
first part they are blessed with fine wealth
er. Last Sunday, however, proved an eX-
ception to the rule; 1t rained at intervals
during the day. About fifteen minutes
after O'Clock in the morning, seventy girls
and thirty-eight boys left the convent on
Cedar street, and preceded by the cross
bearer, Martin Cone, marched to the
Church, and were seated in pews on the
main aisle, the boys on the right and the
girls on the left, presenting a very beauti-
ful and edifying spectacle. These young
girls and boys received their first commun-
ion, preparatory to receiving confirmation in
the evening.
The children again assembled at the
convent at $50 O'Clock, and about an hour
later proceeded to the cathedral in the
same order as in the morning. About 1l2
girls and BOYS and a few adults received
confirmation. Miss Nora Dryer, an inter
esting little ten-year-old pupil of st. Ber-
| nard's, read the renewal of the baptlsmal
vows on the part of the young ''soldiers Of
the Cross" supported on either side by
| Miss Minnie MahOny and Miss Caroline
| Claverissa, each holding lighted candle
At the conclusion of the. ceremony each
was invested with the scapular, when the
Bishop made an instructive and very edify-

A CAST.IRON BITE.
How Mark Twain's Jumping Frog was
OutdOne.


In consequence of the recent food, fish
ing for frogs is a favorite pastime in certain
portions of the city. A young man, who IS
engaged in business on Market street, near
Broad, has been very successful in this line.
He hauled an old base singer to the surface
a few days ago, weighing couple OF
pounds, and since that time has been en-
deavOring to catch his mate.
One of the young men i'll the office where
our fisherman is employed, is the proud
owner of an iron paper weight of immense
size, and made in the shape of frog, and
last Saturday he had the porter place this
paper weight ON a board, but in the water,
during the fisherman's absence. When the
latter returned, he was not long in discover
ingthe cast iron frog with his body about halt
out of the water. Taking his hook and
line, he moved quietly down to the shore
and, setting his feet firmly in the soft
steep bank, threw his line with shllful
hand. After a little manoevering, he
caught the cast iron frog under one leg
Pulling back suddenly, in culver of ex.
element, his feet slid from under him and
down he sat in the Shiny mud. He hung
on, however, and safely landed his game
just as all the boys in the Office gathered
around to see the finale. As he held III
the familiar iron frog which had done sucl
noble service as paper weight, his face
heightened, and with a few remarks of {
very emphatic nature, he dropped his fish
ing tackle, and fastened homeward tC
change his wet and muddy clothing.

The wharf was crowded with the steam
ers yesterday evening and presented a very
lively scene.
A few days ago a spirited race took place
on the Tennessee between the j. 7. Wilder
and the Jackson. 1t was from lockwood
to Kingston. The excitement of both,
crews was great, and the utmost speed was
achieved. The Jackson made Kingston
the distance being eleven miles-twenty
minutes ahead Of the Wilder, which came.
in and gracefully surrendered the elk horns.
The LOudOn journal remarks of the vic
tOriOus vessel: "The Jackson is a new
stern-wheel boat, owned by our enterpris-
ing citizens Q. A. Upton and Robert An
dersOn. and was built under the superin-
tendance of that veteran river man, Bill
Hennegar. She is said to be the most sub
stantial and fastest going craft that runs

Fire on West BROAD street.

The residence of Frank Bissicks on West
Broad street caught fire last night about s
O'Clock, and but for the timely assistance of
citizens living in the neighborhOod, would
probably have been entirely destroyed. The
fire originated in the parlor on the first
floor, caused, it is thought, by sparks blow
ing upon the window curtains. Two or
three costly pictures were badly injured, as
well as the carpet and other furniture in
the room.
A colored woman, named Mollie Page, a
servant in the employ of Mr.. Bissicks, was
arrested last night on the charge of setting
the house on fire.

We think very justly, that Nashville would
afford a strong demand for this work, hast
ened to order a supply. The reputation of
the author is a guarantee for an extensive
sale, which will doubtless be increased
when our lovers of literature get taste of
this latest translation from the famous nov
eliSt. We have examined it sufficiently to
be convinced that it is a fiction of rare
merit. There is so much of natural inter
est in the German character that the work,
which is a genuine image Of life in the
