DR.. yiIIeru al the Opera House

The attendance at the Opera House last
night to hear DR.. Nillers N "The Funny
People We Meet" was a decided improve
ment on that of the previous night in point
of numbers. In securing a visit from DR..
Villers, the Robertson Association was sue
cessful in furnishing an original and really
good entertainment. 1t sustained and
even added to its reputation for presenting
something worth seeing or hearing.
The lecture last night, if lecture it may
be called, was largely a repetition Of that
Of the night before. 1t was preceded by a
musical performance of rare excellence by
Profs. Kessler and ZOeller, the former on
the violin and the latter On the piano.
The pieces played by these gentlemen were
select, and played in a manner that ELECTED
the applause of the appreciatiye audience
present. The first piece played was Fam
pa, the next an elegant arrangement or
melange from II TrOvatOre.
Along with the rest, DR.. Villers seems to
possess the talent Of perseverance.
At the solicitation Of the Society be will
give a matinee at the Opera House at 2
P. n. to-day, when he will doubtless have
a still larger audience, as he has had time
10 become more generally known and ap-
plEGAalEu w lllC NANAAC IANANA9 VI ~NA2A
Vile. His entertainment is elegant in the
best sense, and especially fitted for the la
dies. Il consists really Of a lecture, inter
spersed with representations of odd char
acters, known and unknown, but all natural
and amusing. His TemBrks are mOdestly
uttered; but contain a good deal
Of WIT Of the more pleasant vein. Tie i'm
presentations are both wonderful and
iaughable-wonderful for their variety and
perfection and the transformations Of fea-
ture. attitude and voice 10 suit each charac-
ter: laughable for the eccentricity or oddtty
delineated. They give the audience a con-
tinual feast of fun and meTriment. Their
variety, too is seemingly limitless. DR..
VilleTs is, however, for all we have said, a
.non-descript but he is a genius, numbered
Of the funny people we meet, and is well
worth contemplating upon the stage.

A Specimen Of the Average Negro
BaII-The Sequel Of q Pistol shOt.
Thursday night a cOlOred ball was given
at the house Of Mary Walden, on North
Front street. A large crowd had gathered,
and till after midnight everything went on
perfectly lovely for the dusky participants.
About one o'clock the fun began to grow
monotonous to a lass from Edgefeld,and she
was struck with the idea of breaking up
the ball. She accordingly stepped to the
door and fred off a pistol, which had the
effect Of causing a general stampede OF the
guests, and in a very short time the house
was entirely deserted, save by those who
make it their home.
After leaving the house, some Of the
dancers fingered By the wayside to indulge
in a free and easy fight, and Thomas Pas
chal and Lou Caldwell we're pummeling
each other with all their might, when they
were nabbed by Sargent McAllister. They
were locked up in the wOrk-house, and
yesterday morning the Recorder fined each
Of them So.
It would be decidedly beneficial to the
darkies Of the city, if these balls could be
stopped, for one very seldom m off, but
that a row occurs and several of the par
icipants get more or less battered up.

Frank Carter and Charles Hodge, both
colored, the former an escaped work-hOuse
prisoner, went into Reyere's drugstore, on
South Spruce street, about half past eight
o'clock last night, and e~pdeavOred to dis
pose of an OvercOat for s.. The proprietor
and another young man who happened to
be in the store al the time, suspected some
thing wrong and detained the darkies till
an officer could be sent for. Officer Bolton
came in, took charge Of the prison
ers and started with them to
the police station. On Church
street, while passing some pedestrians,
Hodge broke and ran. The officer turned
and fired at him, but without effect, and
having another prisoner in charge, he could
not give pursuit, so Hodge made his escape;
but Carter was taken TO the WOrk-hOuse
and locked up in his old quarters. The
oyercoag can be found at the police sta
ton.

HvsterIous DisapDearance

city, disappeared suddenly and mysterious
" last Thursday morning, and al y O'Clock
last night was still missing. Thurs
day night and yesterday his friends
made an organized and thorough
search throughout the city, but could
find no trace Of him. 1t is supposed he
wandered on under 4 temporary mental
alteration, induced ay a neuralgia affection
from which be had been suffering for some
time. Hopes are expressed that he may
turn up all right. He has stood very clear
as a man and has a very large circle Of

University and Jubilee Hall yesterday
morning, and expressed themselves as
highly pleased with their visit. They were
handsomely entertained at Fisk University
by the teachers in charge Of that institution,
and several of the members Of the commit

examined the building thoroughly and left
with the conclusive opinion that the little

had her boys with her, and calling atten-

A Wall FROM The SLEEPLESS.
Two Railroad Companies Indicted by
the Grand Jury.
Some Of the Miseries Of Living Under
q Trestle.

Under an arrangement between the
Nashville and Chattanooga and the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad Companies, a
! trestle was built through that portion Of the
city extending from the old Nashville and
Northwestern Railroad t~restle, where il
crosses McLemOre street, to tie Chatta-
nooga depot. The right Of way was pur-
chased of various parties and the trestle
erected in 1871. Il is cOntended by the
people along the line that neither Of the
companies mentioned had the right to eX-
tend their lines over this territory. Most
Of the line is just outside Of the corporation
limits Of the city, but the section is thickly
inhabited-as much so as any part Of
the city, and the trestle is from
fourteen TO twenty feet high and
runs near to and above the houses.
The inhabitants complain that the
running of the cars along this trestle rem
deIs their homes uninhabitable; that the
noise and confusion produced by the trains
makes it impossible for them to sleep;
that the sparks emitted from the engines
endanger their houses; that several houses
have been set on fire, and that their prop
erty has deprecated in value, in cOnse-
auence Of the location and erection of the
trestle. They have united and propose TO
abaie the trestle as a nuisance, and to this
end have secured the services Of attorneys,
Messrs. DemOss & Malone, and Of josiah
r. Hubbard, ESQ.,, under whose advice they
have gone before the grand jury and in
Gicted both of the abOve-named cOmpa-
MES. with a view of having the trestle de-
clared a nuisance, and having it abated
and removed.

A Poor. Unemployed Mechanic Hangs
Himself with a 'Chain-IdIe, Desti-
tute Life too Bitter for Him.
T. II. Sims, a carpenter at Danielsville,
Dickson county, committed suicide a day
or two ago, BY hanging himself with a
| trace chain, suspended from the ridge pole
of a small cabin adjoining his residence.
Mr.. Joseph Nesbitt, his nearest neighbor,
stated before the jury Of inquest, that he
went to Sims house that morning and sat
and conversed with him for some time, but
saw nothing unusually strange or exciting,
either in his manner or conversation, eX-
cept that be was not altogether as laxative
as usual and seemed to be rather in a
somewhat melancholy mood. Mrs. Fannie
Sims, wife Of the deceased, stated that, after
Nesbitt left, she lay down and slept about
an hour and a half. When she
aWoke, she went out to get
some wood, and saw her husband, as
she thought, sitting on or kneeling by a
chest of tools. She called 10 him, and said
"darling, come in-are you nOt cold?' de
made no reply. She then changed her posi-
ton, and saw the chain around his neck.
She Immediately ran into the house and
called 70 Mr. Nesbitt, stating that Mr..
Sims had hung himself. Mr.. Nesbitt obey
ed the call and ran forthwith to the scene
of the unnatural tragedy. he confirmed
the statements of Mrs. Sims in regard to
the situation in which the body was found.
It is supposed that Sims utter destitU-
ton and his failure to get employment as
mechanic these hard times led him to kill
himself.
