It was just after the funeral. TIE be-
Teaved and su5dued widow, envelOp,d in
millinery gloom, was seated in the sitting
room, with a few sympathizing frienls.
| There was that constrained look, so pecu-
liar to the occasion, observed on every &C.
casiOn. The widow sighed.
"HOw do you feel; my dear?7 observed
| her sister.
"Oh, l don't know said the poor
woman, with difficulty restraining her
tears. "But hope everything passed of
WELL
aIndeed it did" said all the ladies.
at was as large and respectable funer-
al as have seen this winter" said the sis
ter, looking around upon the others.
ayes, it was" said the lady from the
next door. Il was saying to Mrs. Slocum,
only ten minutes ago, that the attendance
couldn't have been better-the bad going

sDid YOU see the TaylOrs?' asked the
widow, family, looking at her sister.
@They 90 so rarely to funerals that / was
quite surprised to see them here"
Cob, yes, the TaylO-es wee all here, "
said the syInpathizing sister. "As you say,
they 90 but little; they are so exclusive"
suggested the bereaved woman, drOOpingly.
'.Oh, yes chimed in several. "They
came in their own carriage, too" said the
sister. animatedly. "And then there were
the Randalls, and the Van Rensalears.
Airs. Van Rensselaer, had her cousin from
the CITY with her. And Mrs. Randall
wore a very heavy black silk, which am
sure was quite new. Did You see Colonel
HAYWOOD and his daughters, love-"

the lady who lived across the way observed:
"The Colonel was very sOciable, and in
quired most kindly about you, and the
sickness Of your husband"
The widow smiled family. She was
gratifed by the interest shown by the
Colonel.
The friends now rose to 90, each bidding
her gOOd-by, aud expressing the hope that
she would be calm. Her sister bowed
them out. When she returned she said:
s.YOu can see my love, what the neigh
bors think of it. L wouldn't have had any
thing unfortunate happen for a good deal.
But nothing did. The arrangements could
not have been better.

many of the uptown people here" suggest

ABORTTyE ARBITRATION.

ueSsee the Arbitrator

neSSee the ArbitratOrB.
Ex-GoyeInors John G. Brown and Isham
G. Harris returned TO Nashville, yesterday,
from Louisville, where they went to act as
arbitrator in a suit between Col. Sam
Tate and others, Of this State, and the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com
pany. Col. Tate claimed that large sum
of money was due him from the company,
being the accumulated interest and gold
premium on S2,0OO,O0O worth of bonds
which he had disposed Of for that road
in New York over three years ago. In
June, 1873, the directors Of the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad adopted a
resolution agreeing to allow the claim to
be settled BY arbitration, and a written
agreement was made to that effect. Moth
ing seems to have been done in the mat ter,
however, until December last, when an
arbitration committee was appointed. Ex-
Governor Harris, of This State, and Ar.
John Roberts, Of Louisville, were chosen
by bo.h parties, and it was agreed that
these two should choose a third arbitrator
Ex-Governor Brown was then appointed.

was to be held, and on Thursday the
arbitration committee commenced to re-
ceive the evidence, which was quite vOlum-
inOus, the whole Of Thursday and Friday
being devoted to the work. On Sa Urday
Judge Houston commenced the argument
in the case for the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company, and was followed by
Col. McCTea for Col. Tate and associates.
Being unable 20 conclude the argument on
Saturday, it was again commenced on
Tuesday, wien Isaac Caldwell, Esq, closed
the case for the railroad company. On
Tuesday evening it was submitted to the
arbitration committee, and on Wednesday
they announced themselves ready to
give a decision. Before any de-
cision could be rendered, however, the
attorneys for the railroad company
before. the committee and inform
ed them that the directors had concluded
not TO submit to their decision, whether
favorable or Unfayorable. Col. Tate, new
demanded to know their decis-
ion, and they tbereupOn announced tEat
they had decided that Col. Tate and his as
soCiltes were entitled to $1,000 on their
claim, from the railroad company. This
ended the arbitration. It is probable the
whole matter will be brought before the
courts.

The Rnmnnrinr Tenneasee.

Night before last the Tennessee rose
three inches at JOhnsonville, and during
yesterday continued to rise slowly. The
town has been partially evacuated.
Beyond the bridge over the river, and
between it and CamdeIR the track Of the
Northwestern road is submerged for dis
tauce Of several miles by back-water.
Passengers have to be transferred on fat
boats. Until the water falls only one train
a day will leave Nashville on the
Northwestern Road, and that viii start at
midnight. The train which has been leay-
ing al noon has been discontinued, because
it would arrive about dusk and the pasSeu-
gers would have 10 be transferred in the
dark, which would be a hazardous business.
L was thought that all the blOckaded
freight on the Nashville and Chattanooga
Road would be got into Chattanooga last
night.
