Meeting Of the Jackson Bar.

Atan adjourned meeting of the Court
the members of the jackson Bar unani-
mously passed the following resolutions,
in memory of the late Hon. A. o. z.
Nicholson, Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of our State. Gen. A. W. Camp
bell delivered beautiful and touching
euIogy, appropriate to the occasion, and
u tit tribute to the illustriOus dead, when
the resolutions, which follow, were read !:
WHEREAS, With profound sorrow we
have heard announced the death of the
Hon. A. o. z. Nicholson, late Chief Jus
ticc of Tennessee, and while this sad be-
reavement was not unlocked for, we are
none the less impressed by the great ca
lamity which has befallen, not only our
selves, but the entire commonwealth /;
and rs we mingle our tears with those
who most deeply mourn the loss of the
distinguished dead, VIC feel in the midst
of our grief, that this affecting visitation
OF providence is to remind US of our hu-
manity, and that we may yet learn to
contemplate il with that spirit OF resig-
nation, which time ever supplies, as a
medicine for the SORROWS of earth That
the singular purity and wisdom of his
life; the unbounded confidence and uni
versal respect he attained; the honOrs his
great intellect had won on the bench and
in the forum; his capacity for persistent
and sustained intellectual labor; the
wonderful rapidity and ability with
which he discharged his official duties,
are the themes around which our thoughts
will linger the longest, until our memo
ries of him will be all of pleasure and ad-
niration, regrettiug nothing, but that we
will never again feel the "toueh of the
hand that is vanished, nor hear the sound
of the voice that is STILL" 1t is therefore
ResoIred, That by the death of the late
Chief Justice, the bench and bar have
sustained an irreparable loss, the commu-
nifty has been deprived OK one of its most
worthy and useful citizens, and Tennes-
see called to mourn one of her most dis
tinguished sons.
ResoIred, That while we can not find

Dragging Out Existence.

The nervous, weakly invalid does not
enjoy life, but merely "drags out exist,
ence," a the phrase Is. Untitled for the
active pursuits of life, and incapable OF
partaking ofits pleasures, TO which health
alone ian give n zest; disinelining to So
eial Intercourse, and prey TO melan-
chOly, the valetudinarian is indeed an
object of pity. Yet there Is nothing in
all this that cannot be remedied by that
genial Alternative tonic and nervine, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which supplies
deficient stamina, braces the nervous sys-
TEN, and Overeomes those bodily irregu-
larities TO which nervous weakness is
most frequently attributable. Diseases
Of the kidney or bladder, imperfect di-
gestion and uterine troubles are fertile
sources of debility. Their eradications
however, becomes a matter of certainty
when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are
systematically used for that purpose.
The Bitters likewise annihilate and pre-
vent fever and ague and Other debilita-
ting febrile complaints of a malarial IA
ture.

A BIsCUT.-Psrhaps no article OF dict
serves to tickle the appetite of the aver
age American more than plate piled up
like hill with light, porous and nicely
Drowned biscuit. Few persons thorough
ly understand the culinary art, and fewer
still understand the BaodUs operaHdi of
manufacturing biscuit. Cooking, with
most persons, is classed among the useful
arts, but we must insist that biscuit
making belongs to the fine arts. 1t has
recently come to our ears that a young
lady in this city has become, and in a
remarkably short time, a veteran [exeuse
the term in the exquisite art of con-
structing n biscuit. This same young
lady is the possessSr of 4 sweet and mel
low voice which outrivuls in richness
the song of the nightingale in the groves
of Italy. Her conversational powers are
also Of the first order, and would enter
tain and fascinate the most confirmed
bachelor. But the browning glory of
all her acquisitions is in biscuit manu-
featuring. A friend of ours just here
insists, by way of parenthesis, that while
our young ladies are giving SO much at
tentiOn to adjoining their minds, they
should by no means be ignorant of how
to eaptivate the taste of hungry indi-
vidual. An old gentleman wrote this
item, and We publish it by request.

lOr, Grand Primate Of the United States,
and Grand Lecturer of the State of Ten
nessee, delivered an interesting and in
structiYe lecture on temperance to large
and appreciatiYe audience, at Tomlin' s
Hall, Thursday night. Mr.. Taylor is be-
yond question one Of the wittiest and
most eloquent popular lecturers who has
visited our city for years. The audience
was perfectly delighted with the happy
Illustrations, and. with all, the vivid
manner in which, humanity in ruins
from the incorporate use Of alcohol, was
depicted by the speaker. Mr.. Taylor has
consented to lecture again tonight, Fri

Encampment of the Independent Cham
pions of the Red Cross" will be organized,

SHu.oH.-Thirteen years ago on Thurs
day morning last, the first booming gun
over what proved TO be the bloody field
OF shiloh sent its reverberations over the
placid waters of the Tennessee and the
peaceful valleys that border that beauti-
full stream. With the sound of that first
gun, war, harsh, cruel war began its
reign, which il held for more than three
years throughout the southern borders.
How many brave and gallant young
men, who went forth from the patriotic
county of Madison on the 10Th of May,
1861, mingled in the bloody fray of the
9th and 9Th of April, 1862, and went
down on the CORY field of Shiloh? Are
not the memory of these embalmed in
the hearts of the survivors of the reliable
old 9th Tennessee Volunteers? And how
many of that gallant regiment are left
to recount the exploits of the first car
mage at Shiloh? 4 Ere man, Jackson,
i Person, and host of brave and patri-
otic soldiers now sleep the sleep that
knows no waking, whose flashing eyes
last saw the setting sun on that beautiful
day in April, 1862.
Forget them, never. Time, as il rap
Idly passes and bears us on its resistiess
tide bedhnS the memory OF the past, but
it can never entirely efface the recollee-
tons of the four years bloody war.
