CONCERNING LARGE EARS.

large ears, says a theOrist, mounting his
hobby, hear things in general, and denote
broad, comprehensive views and modes of
thought; while small ears hear things in
particular and show a disposition TO indi-
vidualize, often accompanied by the love
Ofthe minute. Large ears are usually salts
fed with learning the leading facts of a
case, with the genera! principle involved;
too strict an attention TO the enumeration
+ details, especially all repetition Of the
more unimpOrtant, is wearisOme to them.
People with such ears like generality, and
are usually fitted To conduct large enter
priSes; TO receive and pay out money in
large sums; they prefer to give with a free
hand, without reference TO the amount.
Small ears, onthe contrary, desire TO know
the particulars of a story, as we'll as the
main facts; take deligu: often la examin-
ing handling, or constructing tiny spaci-
mems Of workmanship; are disposed 10 be-
exact with respect 10 inches aud ounces in
buying or selling, to the extent at least Of
knowing the exact number over or under
the stated measure given or received. PEG
pie with such ears would, in most cases,
prefer a retail to a wholesale business.

and hoped that the Board would kill the
resolution.
Councilman SlOwey said that the resOlu-
ton was not a joint resolution and could
net 90 outside Of that Board.
Councilman Martin remarked that if the
gentleman from the Eighth Ward Mr..
ThOmpsOn) was disguised, it would be
nothing but proper for him to resign and
quit. If he was not in favor of the resOlu-
ton. let him vote against il. lie (Martin)
had been the only man that had sufficient
moral courage 10 declare himself opposed
10 redistricting the city. IL had been said
that il the City Council did not redistrict
the Oity, that the UNION AND AMERICAN
would.
Councilman SlOwey had always been OPP
posed 10 redistFicting the city and believed
that he was acting in accordance with the
wishes Of his constituents, nearly every
one of whom he had seen was opposed TO II.
Councilman Thompson said that it was
perfectly outrageous to imagine for a mo
ment that the Board of Common Council
could undertake 10 DO this thing by them
selves. The gentlemen who were opposed
to redistricting had acted their part nObly
and they should now remain quiet. 1t
seemed that they were afraid that some one
would get into the trunk and get that
compact with the twelve names signed to
it from the manner IN which they were
acting.
President Pitcher said that it was so well
understood who had that compact in pos
session that it was useless for him to make
any explanation.
Councilman Underwood was of the epin-
ion that all such iiiibustering would ac-
complish no good. While he was in favor
Of redistricting he was free TO confess that
hedid not know how 20 redistrict. He
could not prepare a bill any better than
those that had already been submitted.
A vote was taken upon the resolution
with the following result:
Ayes-COuncilmen Burgess, Coleman,
Martin, Adams, Reddick, SlOwey, CrOs-
thwait-7.
.Noes-COuncilmen Robertson, Litterer,
Underwood, Mccarthy, Moore, Smith, and
President Pilcher-7.
It being a tie vote the resolution was re
jected.
Councilman Thompson said that as the
members desired 20 be set right upon this
redistricting matter, he would move that
the reporters be requested to publish the
vote. The motion prevailed.
Councilman Martin moved that the
UNION AND AMERICAN be requested to
rediSiriCt the city in accordance with the
wishes Of the Alderman from the second
ward.
No action was taken on the motion.
Councilman SlOwey offered a resolution
providing that the bills passed upon their
third reading be forwarded to Beersheba
Springs Tor the signature Of the Mayo.
Ruled out Of order.
Councilman SlOwey offered a resolution
directing the Street OveTseer to remove the
Obstruct ions on South Cherry street.

MYSTERIOUS BLOOD.
Indications Of Foul Play in Cannon
County.
Discovery Of a Hungry Nag Hitehed
in the Woods.
Signs of a Life and Death Struggle.
Supposed Fate Of an Equestrian
Traveller.

Woodbury., the capitol of Cannon coun-
", has had profound sensation this week
over a mysterious affair which is very sug-
gestive of murder. The particulars became
known there on Tuesday and caused quite
a stir among the inhabitants.
just a week before, a stranger about 40
years old was seen riding along the Petty
Gap road in that county in the direction of
McMinnville. He attracted the attention
of good many people on account of his
dress, outfit, etc. But he would soon have
been forgotten by the natives, if this had
been all.
On Thursday, two days alter, a woman,
who was out picking blackberries about
six miles from Woodbury., discovered a
mare hitched up in the woods near the
Petty Gap road. She informed a gentle
man living near of the fact, and NE went to
the spot 10 investigate the matter. From
the looks Of the animal he concluded that
she had been there without food or atten-
lion for about two days. Near by was
| found large Texas saddle, a couple of
| blankets and black cloak. The cloak was
/ carefully folded and secreted under bush
and by the side of a log. II had attracted
| flies, as if smeared with blood, but there

Tie name Of the party thus face to face
| with mystery was j. y. Fuller, a con-
| stable, who took possession of the mare
and equipagc. OF course the affair created
a great deal Of talk in the retired neigh
| bOFhOOd and the appearance and move
ments of the traveller, who had been Oh
served two days before were discussed. lie
was traced TO point on the read about
quarter or half mile from the place where
the animal was found and beyond that
| place no such person was afterwards seen
| by roadside residents The mare filed
the description OF the one he was riding. A
theory of foul play was therefore set up and
was strengthened in the public mind by
the subsequent report that offensive
smells proceeded from the locality of the
previous discoveries.
The facts having been thoroughly talked
over at Woodbury. and some excitement
having been created, about one hundred
citizens went out 10 explore the woods in
search Of the missing mans corpse. They
took last Tuesday for the task, but were not
successful in unravelling the mystery.
When they returned they reported that the
man described was that day q th) travel
ing on the Petty Gap road, and from house
to house they traced him TO a point where
the mare was found; that near the spot
where the mare was hitched they found
quite a quantity OF blood, besides, around
the spot the green flies were swarming in
abundance; near the place where the blood
was found the ground showed marks Of a
deadly conflict. All We're Of one opinion;
that was thai some unknown person had
been murdered on the ground.

! suited in the acquittal of the accused.
On the day after the trial Rodgers at
| traCted some attention 10y endeavOring To

was aroused from the fact that the money
stolen from Ieayill consisted Of six fftv
dollar bills, twenty dollar gold piece, and
the rest in small bills. Rodgers was al
once arrested, when he confessed that the
theft had been committed By himself and
the negro Wilzin.
Meanwhile the latter had gathered up his
traps and slid out. Leayill and one Of
his neighb0rs searched the surrounding
country for him but were not successful in
finding their man. Leavill arrived in this

Leavill was left al the house and Detective
Ryan and DR.. Shy went on TO look for
Wilkiu. At o'clock in the morning they
found him at the house Of a negro named
Hunter, who lived about four miles from

Ryan got pair Of handouts on him before
he was wide awake. The prisoner was
brought to Nashville on the train
