THE DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT
Last night was quite success in
every respect, financially and other
wise, but an accident occurred which
came near ending very serious. The
back seats We're raised something sim
liar to the way they are arranged in
circuses. Every seat was crowded,
when suddenly there was Il crash, and
the whole concern, people and all,
came down on the floor, perfect mass
of human beings and timber mixed up
generally, aud the only wonder is
that aside of some bruised shins,
mashed toes, splintered hands, aud
slight injuries of that kind, no one
was seriously hurt A perfect STAN
pede took place, every one thinking
the floor was about giving way, but
being assured that everything was safe,
quiet was restored and the play Of
" Rough Diamond - commenced with
the following gentlemen and ladies
taking part

pleted ell but putting in the windows,

Mr.. James Willis has followed very
closely the draught of the architect, A.
G. Bruce, of Knoxville. This church
is in all probability the haDdsomest
piece of church architecture in East
Tennessee, outside of Knoxville. The
manner in which Mr.. Willis has exc
cuted his part of the work, is evidence
of his complete and tasteful mastery of
his business. Mr.. p. G. Rosenblatt
has painted the fregco central piece, a
model of neatness and beauty, by the
way. The church will be entirely fin.
ished by the time for the annual Con-
ference. - GreeneUiLie american.

GREENEvILLE, Sept. IS, Is

GREENEvILLE, Sept. IS, 1870.
Your correspondent attended the
Coronation Ball last night at Cool
Templars' Hall, and must, in all sin
certify, pronounce it a grand success.
Over one hundred persons were pres
ent. The gallant and successful
knights, and the ladies to be crowned
were behind the curtain until the hour
for the coronation arrived. The cur
tain then rose, and in the center of the
stage was seated the fair lady so soon
to be crowned the Queen Of Love and
Beauty, while on each side were seated
the fair Maids of Honor, with their re
spective Knights standing in the rear.
Mr.. Allison, of Jonesboro', delivered
the coronation address, in which he
gave brief history of the Knightly
costume.
After the address the
CORONATION
Took place, and the following ladies
were crowned:
Miss Lissie Carter was crowned
Queen of Love and Beauty, by Mr..
James Harmon; Miss Mary Blair, of
Dalton, Ca, was crowned First Maid
of Honor, by Mr.. Robert Fitzpatrick /;
Miss Lizzie Mason was crowned Secs
ond Maid of Honor, by Mr.. David
Wilds, Jr.; Miss Mollie Wilds was
crowned Third Maid of Honor, by
Mr.. George Murphy.
After the browning Prof. Rosen>
blatt's Orchestra started lively strain
of music, and soon some thirty-twO
couples, one hundred and twenty>eight
feet We're moving gracefully to the
sound of the music. The knights, in
their beautiful costumes, appeared TO
advantage, and especially worthy OF
notice were the costumes of knights
Spencer and Brown, which, for rich
ness and beauty, can not easily be
surpassed. Mr.. Baker, of the Intelli-
gencer, also had very handsome cos
tune, and one lady remarked that he
looked like an angel. 1t was rather a
novel idea to connect a newspaper man
with an angel, but then he looked 50
innocent, the lady is eXcusabe.
Dancing continued until midnight,
when
SUPPER AT THE GODFREY HOUSE
Was announced as ready, and all re.
paired thither, and we must say foI
the proprietors of this hotel that they
did their duty nobly, for the table
was laden with the good things OF
earth, and all the company seemed tc
enjoy the repast.
Supper over all repaired to the hall
again, aud dancing was kept up until
! the wee sma' hours of the morning
| four in the morning finding some OF
them vending their way homeward
We must say that Greeneville can
not be beat in turning out nice party
of gentlemen and ladies, aud we don't
remember that we have ever witnessed
a dance where, for the number pres
emit, more beautiful ladies and fine
looking, courteous and well behaved
young gentlemen were present. We
say hurrah for Greeneville on tina
score.

having in charge the coming Soldiers
Reunion at Greeneyille, says:
JoNEsBORo', Tenn, Sept.lS, 70.
To tie Editors 9th Chronicle
Gov. Porter has consented to send US
all the Regimental flags at Nashville
to the Reunion at Greeneville, October
l2,h This will give all the old soldiers
an opportunity once more to see the
banners under which they endured SO
many privatious. | would like to see
some one present to take charge of
each flag and take "A position on the
grounds, and at given signal see all
the Boys rally round their old Flag"
For one, feel that nothing could add
SO much To the interest of the occasion
rs to have an exercise of this kind
placed on the programme.
| hope Knox and the adjacent and
lower counties will send up good dele
cations, for feel that this is a move
ment worthy the favorable notice of
every soldier; and while the recur-
renee of the Reunion for our Centen-
NAL year 1876 will be the greatest effort
of the age, only those who may attend
this year will be able to appreciate the
beneficial results likely to attend a
permanent organization of the kind
contemplated.
VIII not Knoxville bid for the Cen
tennial Reunion? Already bids are in
for the next meeting, and unless the
soldiers of your county go to work,
some other place will outbid you and
carry off the prize.
Come up to our Fair! And, in the
meantime, work for the Reunion.

THE WHEAT.
The Directors Of the Greene County
Fair have determined to stimulate
their farmers to raising fine crops Of
wheat, hence they offered most liberal
premiums on the lst, I'd and Sd best
acres of wbeat-in all amounting to
Sl20 i'm cash. The result was, that
there was splendid display of most
excellent wheat, and the premiums
were awarded AS follows:
James b. Johnson, $50 for the best
| acre of wheat.
A. 5. Johnson, $40 for the second
| best.
Mr. William Ross, $50 for the third
| best.
Mr.. G. :. Earnest received so pre-
MUM for the best acre of oats.
MIR. II. n. Earnest received pair OF
| silver cups for the best oue-fourth acre
Of Irish potatoes.
The premium for the prettest and
sweetest baby was awarded to Il. n.
/ King, which consists of photograph
of the mother aud baby worth So.
Mrs. w. f. Self received a 81 80 pre-
MUM as the lady dressed in the neat
est calico dress of her own making.
Il. G. Painter received $3.50 premi.
um as the best boy plower under IL
years of age. ....
Altogether the fair was "A success
and the officers inform me that they
took in about $3.50 more this year than
they did on any previous year. If the
weather had been fair on the last day
they believe they would have taken In
enough to pay the Association clean
out of debt. AS it Is, they will come
pretty near it, at least they will lift
some of the liabilities which have been
hanging over the Association for years

Historical Rings.

One of the most interesting that has
come down TO our times is the signet ring
Of Mary, Queen of Scots, now in safe
keeping among the treasures of the
British Museum. Sir Henry Ellis was of
opinionithat this was Mary's nuptial ring
when she was married to Darnley, and
that it affords the earliest instance of her
bearing the royal arms Of Scotland alone
after having discarded the arms Of
France. When Dauphiness, she and her
husband had quartered the arms of Eng
land, which gave great offense to Queen
Elizabeth. Within the ring is mono
gram formed of the letters NJ. and A.,
which is OF great historical interest be-
cause Sir Henry Ellis has pointed out
that in this letter from Mary to Eliza
beth, written just before her marriage,
she used the same monogram, probably as
a puzzle for the Queen Of England and
her Councillor Burleigh.
The clue was, however, given to them
when Darnley was created Duke Of Alba
ny. Another interesting ring is the one
which Queen Elizabeth is supposed to
have sent to the Earl of Essex, but which
was never delivered to him. 1t Of gold,
with the head of the Queen cut on hard
onyx, and it is now in the possession of
the Rev. Lord John Thyme, who is des-
cended from Lady Frances Devereux, Es-
sex's daughter. Aubrey relates that
Queen Elizabeth had double ring made
with two diamonds, which formed heart
when joined. She kept one half, and sent
the other to Mary Queen Of Scots as a
token of her constant friendship; but, as
Aubrey adds, "she cut off her head for all
that" Mary commissioned Bearoun to
take back her ring to Elizabeth, when she
determined to seek an asylum in England.
Before dismissing the maiden queen we
may mention that her coronation ring
was filed off her finger little before her
death on account Of the flesh having
grown over it.

From the Cincinnati Commercially
The social condition of India has cauS-

TO marriage which is to occur in Lon.
don. An eminent Hindoo is to marry
London beauty. The gentleman in this
case is Mutu Coomara, Swammy. Swan.
my is title, and literally means "God."
Queen Victoria has made him Sir Mutu
Coomara, for he is an eminent member of
her Majesty's Council at Ceylon, and has
written some Oriental books ofhieh value.
The lady is Miss Lily Beebe, lady dis.
tinguished in her circle as an list, but
also as being more beautiful than any pic
ture she ever painted. The Hindoo first
met the young lady in company of Eng
lish people who have long repudiated
Christianity, and he being no adherent Of
any special Eastern sect, they found a
basis of religious harmony in simple The
ism. No case of intermarriage between a
liindoo and person of the English race
seems to have ever been known before.
Old residents Of India have informed me
that it is absolutely unprecedented, and
that if Sir Mutu were TO take his bride TO
any part of India, both of them would be
treated by the whites as pariahs. They
all agree that in Ceylon the prejudice
against ''miscegenation" will probably be
less, and that the Hindoo's very high
rank (he would be King Of Ceylon if
Queen Victoria should resign the island)
and official position will enable them to
tide over the first indignation. But the
agitation the coming marriage has caused
in "0riental circles in London proves
that anything like an amalgamation Of
races in India is not to be contemplated.
At the same time Indians are received in
the highest society in London on terms
Of perfect equality; young ladies dance
and flirt with them as industriously as
with others; and it requires the atmos-
phere of India to bring about the singula.
