Christmas at the Maxwell House.

One of the most popular persons connect
ed with the internal management Of the
Maxwell is 'Miss Mary, the princess Of all
housekeepers. Tine extent to which the
guests believe in her was displayed yester-
day in very graceful manner. She was
invited to step into the parlor and was pre-
scented with a pitcher, goblets and salver,
Of superb design and bearing the following
inscription "Mary Hourigan-from the La
dies of the Maxwell House" of course,
it was a delightful surprise to Miss Mary.
She did not say much at the time, but the
following note to the ladies who got up
the testimonial shows how fully it is ap-
preciated by the recipient:
Ladies--I haze so many reasons to thank
Won that l ought to know how, but | don't.
This undeserved testimonial Of your regard
overwhelms me with surprise and graft

there be any thanks due, it arises from

Rev. DE-. baird AZ lebanon.

The Lebanon Herald of Wednesday says:
"Dr. Baird, of Nashville, has entertained
our citizens for the last two nights, with
lectures of the greatest interest, rich in
thought, racy with wit and set offby that
fine Oratory of which he is so finished a
master. The Doctors first lecture, The
True Goal of Evolution was one of scien-
tific study, but he arranged it so finely as
to relieve it of drynesS. Old and young
enjoyed it alike. The second lecture was
the richest the people of our city have
ever heard. The subject, 'Woman's Will
the Power Behind the Throne was IL
Illustrated by familiar characters selected
from the Bible. A few graphic dashes
would place the character before you in
clear fullneSs, and the contrast with our
modem bellies caused much merriment."

The BEARD OF Health.

The bill to repeal the ordinance estab-
fishing the Board of Health, was rejected
last night by the Common Council. COun-
Gilman Mccarthy addressed the Council
in favor of the bill. He stated that the
Board of Health, as at present organized
and managed, was without the power of
doing good, either in prevent
ing epidemics or abating their
virulence while prevailing. The Health
Board was without power to preserve the
public health, and the City Council had no
such power to delegate to them. The most
available means for preventing sickness,
said Councilman Mccarthy, were to be
found in clean streets and alleys and more
perfect system of sewerage and drainage
throughout the city. If he thought the con-
tinued existence of the Board Of Health was
important TO the public interest or necessary
to the preservation of the health of the peO-
pie, he would have no opposition to urge
against it.
Councilman Cullom dissented from the
views expressed by Councilman Mccarthy,
and spoke earnestly in opposition to the
bill. He felt assured that great good had
already been done by the Board Of
Health, and that in case an epidemic
should prevail in the city, this department
would be of great benefit. The necessity
for its existence would then be seen and
felt by the people, as it now was by MEM
bers OF, the medical profession. He felt assur-
ed that the citizens of Nashville generally
were opposed to striking the Board Of
Health out of existence. The petition
Just received, bearing the signatures Of
many of our citizens, strongly indicated
that fact.

duction of parol testimony to vary a writ
