The Reading Last Night.

We regret that st. Johns chapel was
not filed to overflowing last night,
for all who failed to go missed rich
treat, yet an appreciative if not a very
large audience greeted Mrs. French
and the young ladies Of her class, and
all present, We feel confident, were
well satisfied with the entertainment
The folio wing was the programme
of the evening:
A Legend of Bregenz, Mrs French
A Pleasure ExertiOn, Miss Ida Lee.
The Polish Boy, Mrs, French.
The Story of Faithful Soul, Mrs.
French.
Paul Revere's Ride, Miss Kate
Clozier.
Jane Conques Mrs. French.
5. Shadows, Miss Leftwich.
The Siox Chiefs Daughter, Mrs
French.
The Last hymn, Miss NJ. Crozier.
How We Hunted "a Mouse, Mrs
French.
We trust that when Mrs. French re-
turns from her trip to the East she will
favor our citizens with many more
similar entertainments

YELLOW FEVER.

MEMPHIS, Oct. "a, 10 A. M.-No
new cases reported, and but one
death since last evening, G. R. G.
Mcdonald, a druggist at the City
Hospital. Frost fell last night and
was plainly visible this morning,
Notwithstanding the prevalence Of
high winds. The thermometer at
daylight stood 390.
Special to Nashville American.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 22.-The
great epidemic of 1879 is about
fizzled out. Since yesterday after
noon at 4 o'clock, not a single
death has occurred, either in the
city or suburbs. It is true that
there are still a large number of
people sick with the fever, and
many who have returned to the
city will yet be stricken, but the
fever has played its part, and must
very soon give place to the more
congenial and active pursuits of
business. Already the merchants
are receiving goods, and making ex~
tensive preparations to help keep in
motion the grand business boom y
that seemingly is sweeping the
country like prairie fire.
One genuine killing frost would
efectually settle the yellow fever
question in this city, and surely the
coming of that great boon can not
be far in the future. Five cases
were reported to the Board Of
Health to~day, as follows:
G. L. Churcher, John Pharr.
Mary Monaghan, Mrs. Kate Allen.
Willis Hood, colored.
Of these Mary Monaghan came
into the city from Camp Marks six
days ago, and was stricken last Sun
day.

Blair Acquitted.

NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 22.-In the
case of Blair, the New York bank
teller, tried on the charge of kills
ing his coachman, Armstrong, the
jury, after four days deliberation,
brought in a verdict of not guilty.
When in reply to the formal ques-
ton the foreman of the jury re>
sponded to the question not guilty,
Blair gave a moaning cry and tell
on his knees beside his wife. The
whole courtroom rang with ap-
plause. Mrs. Blair and many of
her friends wept, while the crowd
cheered in spite of a reprimand.
At l o'clock Blair was taken in a
carriage to his home in Mount
Clair. The jury, it is understood,
stood ten to two IN favor Of acquit-
tai until last night. The jury had
been out 81 hours.

.'Ukeeiah C.if, or The Pot of Gold -
The above is the title of a serial
story which is now being published in
the weekly and semi-weekly New
York World, production from the
pen OF MARY Faith Floyd" in whom
is at once recognized the talented
novelist, Mrs. Mary McAdoo, wife of
our houored fellow. citizen Prof. w.
G. McAdoo. The first chapter starts
out quite interesting, and it is
doubly so from the fact that
the plot is laid at the cliff
down the river on the south side,
below the lower ferry, near this city,
familiarity known as "Lovers Leap" "
Mrs. Nc Adoo, while going down the
river one day last summer, was struck
with the appearance OF this cliff, and
then and there received the inspira-
ton for the story. The name chosen
for the cliff, "Ukeelah" is an Indian
one, and means 'perched up"

Mr.. Banks sustained Mr.. Butler that
his report was one of the highest privilege.
and it could interrupt even impeachment
proceedings.
After further discussion of the point in
which the practices of a court of law were
referred to, the speaker said: 'The chair
does not propose to discuss court practices
in such proceedings as have been cited,
The duty of the chair is to administer the
rules only. if left to his own voliton the
chair would prefer to go at once to the de-
cision of the question that detains citizen
in custody, but the house has decided to
consider tho report presented by the gen
tleman from Illinois (Springer.) That
gentleman is on the floor discussing the
question, and the rules do not allow him to
be taken off the floor, except in the man
ner as provided by the rules-that is by a
motion to adjourn, entering motion to
| reconsider, or conference report. The
char therefore decides that it is not COM
petent now for one committee to interfere
with report from another committee,
when the gentleman who has made the
first report is on the floor and declines to
yield"
Mr. Banks appealed from the decision
Of the chair, and after further discussion
| the appeal was laid on the table by yeas

port on the river and harbor bill He sub

'obs 10 the terms of the contract with him,
requiring the same depth as the original
contract required, but not the same width.
and also paying him for each foot of depth
instead OF each two feet. He was uues-
toned particularly on the Eads matter,
and made long explanation on the sub
Iject.
Mr. Hanna demanded the yeas and
nays on the adoption of the report, re-
marking that that was the only mode mem
bers had of recording their protests against
the bill.
The yeas and nays were ordered and
taken, yeas l07, nays $50 the report
was agreed to, and the house then took a
