Sol Smith Russell.

Just to say that Sol is coming with
an abundant new stock of drOlleries
would be amply sufficient to test the
capacity of Melodeon Hall, but this
time he makes an additional appeal
to the musical taste of our people by
bringing with him a complete quar-
tette of practiced singers with high
professional reputation. Mr.. Lum-
bard, the director of this department
and the principle BassO, is recognize
ed by the press as an artist of first
class excellence in concert and ora
toriO singing. Miss Dora Wiley is
lrinl0 donna, a lady who sang with
distinguished applause as principal
Soprano in the Boston Philharmonic
Club. Add to these Miss Anna G.
HOlbrOok cOntrdLtO, and Mr.. Louis
Pau, tenor, with Miss Anne LES
telle as pianist, and we have a con=
cert troupe complete which will give
our people an opportunity of hear
ing good classical music and con-
trasting it with the trashy illusions
of the minstrel companies. 1t is
an opportunity which our citizens
will gladly embrace, and toiU be ben
gifted by doing so.

APIeasant Anniversary.

Last Thursday was the second an
niversary of Mr.. w. r. Bringhurst's
accession to the goodly company of
the votaries of st. Bonifacius; in
other words, to the bookkeeping
fraternity. We like anniversaries
when people know how to attend
to them, and Billy is one who does
know. He celebrates these happy
events by inviting his friends to dine
with him, and then he and his ex-
cellent lady give their best efforts to
connecting a banquet for the gods
better than the gods enjoyed, for
turkeys and oysters were unknown
Mt. Olympus.
Billy is man of many friends
and one table was not near enough
to accommodate them. Business
prevented our arriving soon enough
for the first table, but in good time,
with an appetite improved by wait
ing, we took our seat and waited the
advent of the waiter. Just after we
were seated, Ingram and Riley fin
ished the remains of their last course
and arose from the table with a
wonderfully satisfied expression of
countenance. This little matter fur
nished US matter for very serious re-
Election while the waiter was still on
the way. The latter end of feast
where the editor and publisher pre-
cede one is solemn subject, but we
had unlimited faith in the capacity
of Bringhurst's hospitality, and we
were not disappointed. There was
some delay; the ravages of two such
appetftes could not be repaired in
moment, but in good time banquet
was placed before us which Hello
gabalus would not have grumbled
at unless he were a still greater fool
than history reports him. Joking
apart, we enjoyed our dinner huge
ly, and we enjoyed much more a
hearty shake of the hand and a
laughing welcome from our friend |
and entertainer. May he enjoy many
prosperous anniversaries of the COM
of his reign, and may
we be there to congratulate him.

weighed when dug fourteen pounds
He says he didn't try to raise a big
potato, but will try and see what he
can do in that line next year. 1t
can be seen at McComb's grocery,
where, also, is on exhibition a seven
pound turnip, raised by w. H.
McCauley, Esq, of Peacher's Mills.
We were also shown some very fine
Irish potatoes which were raised by
the Jackson brothers on their farm
near the city.

A LATE CUSTOMER.

Since Mr.. Rick has moved into
his new boot and shoe store, and
placed his splendid new stock on
exhibition, his sales have SO much
increased that they show signs of
extending his operations cOnsidera-
bly, beyond business hours. During
business hours he is accustomed TO
leave his back door open with the
key in it. On Tuesday evening
about 6 o'clock he went to lock this
door when he found that somebody
else had saved him the trouble and
taken care of the key for him. He
considered the transaction rather
mysterious one and related it to
Mr.. Carkuff, the chief of our night
police. G.. told him that he thought
he would have a night customer,
Rick did not much expect it, but
accepted C.'s suggestion to leave
Mr.. Policemen Morrison in the
store that he might attend to the
night customers wants should he
happen to come. At the usual
time, about 8 p. M, Mr.. Rick
and his son locked up the front
door and left, as if for home, leav-
ing Morrison concealed in the back
room of the store, and awaiting his
customer. Not ten minutes had
elapsed before the key turned
in the back door and slowly and
cautiously entered the customer;
he looked carefully round with
out discovering Morrison, opened
the door to the front room, fol-
lowed inaudibly by Morrison. Be
ing a customer of taste he pro-
ceeded to a drawer containing some
exquisitely formed ladies' boottees,
when Morrison stepped up and pos
Iitely asked what he could have the
pleasure of doing for him. He was
somewhat confused with the sud-
dCnness of the address and mutter-
ed something about having been ac-
cidentally locked in. Foolish fell
low, he ought to have avowed his
purpose of indulging Riclk's evident
desire of selling at wonderfully low
prices by taking the goods 1T a price
still lower than that at which Rick
had offered them. However that
may be, Morrison suggested that in
a business point of view the trans
action was an irregular one and he
had better discuss it with Judge
Tyler, which ne will do in a few
days; he is meantime Accommodated
with board and apartments at the
expense of the city. The name OF
Kicks customer is Taylor Thurston.
He is an enterprising colored gen.
tleman who will, we fear, suffer for
his disregard of business hours.

WE cali attention to the card of
the Grange Warehouse Association.
This warehouse has a storage capac-
ity equal to that of almost any house
in Middle Tennessee, and is run by
men of long experience in the tobac-
co business, who have plenty of cap
ital at their command, and will do
everything reasonable to forward the
interests of their patrons. They have
been eminently successful in the
past, but will doubtless do a large
increase of business this year over
any previous year, owing to the i'm
mensetobacco crop and to their con-
stantly increasing popularity.

Death Of rTr. Poston Couts.

Mr.. Poston Couts, son of John
COuts, Esq, of this city, died at q
p. M, on the 9th inst, aged thirty
four years.
Mr.. Cout's death is a source of
grief to a large number of attached
friends, whose warm esteem and af-
lection had been conciliated by his
admirable moral qualities and his
genial and kindly manners. He
was eminently pure young man,
exempt in a remarkable degree from
the vices and designations which are
so rarely escaped in early youth.
During the last year of the war,
while still a member of the Colfed-
crate Army, he joined the Metho-
dist Church under the ministrations
of the Rev. VIM. Burr; of this COM
muniOn he has ever since been a
consistent and exemplary member.
He had long been a sufferer from
the malady which ultimately caused
his death, but bore his cross with
such accomplishing patience that
few were aware of his existence.
His funeral, on Sunday, was at
tended by a very large crowd of de-
voted friends, and the services were
conducted with great solemnity by
the Rev. r. K. Brown. Several
ministers of other denominations
took part in the exercises. The
Rev. DIR. Plummer read the Scrip
ture lesson, the Rev. Mr.. A. d. Sears,
Baptist, led the congregation in
prayer, and the Rev.. w. Lupton,
Presbyterian, gave out the hymn.
The sermon of Mr.. Brown was
solemn and appropriate. He held
up the life of the deceased as a refu-
tation of thefallacy that every young
man must pass through a period
of dissipation and vice before he be-
comes a settled member of society;
Poston Couts, he told us, sowed no
wild oats and had none of their evil
effects to struggle with in after life.
Nowhere can youth seek a better
example than in the life of Poston
COuts.
The deceased was a member of
the order of the knights of Pythias,
and that body attended the funeral
in their full regalia and performed
their impressive funeral rites at the
grave, adding much to the solemni-
ty of the funeral ceremonies.

Fatal RaiIrOad Accident,

A freight train was wrecked near
Cumberland City on Thursday night
with fatal results. On Thursday
morning Mr.. Partridge came up
from Erin and found the switch dis
placed, evidently with malicious in
tention ; he had it replaced and con-
tinued his journey. During the day
it must have been again displaced
and, as a consequence, the North
bound freight train was thrown from
the track and completely wrecked
1t contained thirteen cars. The en-
gineer, Sherrell, was fatally injured
and died in two hours; Kerley, the
fireman, was also dangerously
wounded, but was alive at last ac-
counts. There is no question what
ever of the calamity being inten.
tional, though no clew at present
can be found to identify the perpe,
traitors,

"POOR OLD JOE. I"

Last week we witnessed touch
ing performance by Marsh Adams
of the well known ballad of 81 Poor
old Joe" We little thought that in
a few days we should meet with the
original of that pathetic ballad, but
we found him in the Court House
under duress, brought about by the
kindly affection which that warm
hearted race is known to entertain
for infant swine. The circumstances
may be stated thus: S. A. Cald-
well, Esq, possesses a sow, a matron
of the most distinguished porcine
aristOcracy, who rejoiced in an in
FAINT progeny repeating all the noble
characteristics of her blue blood.
Joe Turner also appreciated high
breeding in swine and cast hungry
eyes on the interesting family, and
one fine day drove them off to the
residence of Charlie Griffin, where
some arrangement was made for the
equitable division of the stock; but
the memorable law came in and re-
claimed the mother and babes in
the name of Squire Caldwell.
Hence the presence of "Pooq Old
Joe" He is a venerable looking
darkey and evidently considered
that he was hardly used by the law;
not being the right man in the right
place. He was no thief! Young
pigs in their period of lactationand
young chickens of frying size are
looked upon by aforementioned
darkies as no more the subjects of
larceny than blackberries growing
by the road side; but he drove off
the old sow also. This, doubtless,
was owing to the tenderness of his
heart-he could not deprive those
tender infants of the maternal min
istrations they so much needed, and
hence JOe's presence in court. No
bly, did his counsel, Ed. Campbell
and George Martin, plead the case
of the oppressed old African. They
established the fact that Old Joe
too had possessed a female of the
porcine race whom he had loved
and lost, and that he might have
thought that he was retaining his
own when he drove off the object
of Squire C.'s affections. 1t was
urged, it is true, that Joe's SOW was
spotted and bob-tailed and the
'Squire's black and long-tailed; that |
Joe's animal was childless and the !
'Squires blessed with numerous |
offspring-but the spots might have |
spread, the tail might have renewed |
observation-disclosures, themaiden
might have become matrOn and q |
mother. Alas! the law is sternly |
desregardful of these naight-hGUe-
6ee,ls, and we left the Court House
sadly fearing that the penitentiary
would open its doors for Poor Old
Joe. Too true; Old Joe goes to
for three years. We can
only now follow him in magma
ton on his sad journey in Nashville,
with his quavering old voice:
'I'm eomin'I I'm comm" no mercy's here
So get your pennyteushy fixed for Poor Old
joe"
