A PififHi Case

A drunken woman named Collins,
with her two children were brought to
the Jail last night by officer Duncan, to
be locked up for the night. About two
years ago the husband of the woman
was killed in Keyser q EIrod's hay
yard, while loading piece of casting,
and it is stated that short time after that
fatal accident the unfortunate woman
took to drink, increasing her libations
to such an extent that at the present
time she is perfectly helpless and neg
ing her children in a most unpardona-
BILE manner. The little ones, boy
about years of age, and beautiful lit
tie girl years old, have had no care
for months, being permitted to roam
in every direction at all hours of the
day and night. The. woman when ar
rested was in beastly state of intoxi-
cation, lying in room filthy enough to
be stunned by we'll bred hog. In
order not to deprive our readers of their
appetites for their breakfast we will
not enter into detail. The children
should, by all means. be taken from
their irresponsible mother and placed
where they can receive proper care and
training.

LAST week Josh Rice wanted
some blasting done in the cave, and
sent a gentleman of color, yclept
jim, to do the work. Jim is a
good hand at the business, but his
work, heretofore, has been on the
earth and not in it. He was ac-
companied by Il guide to the Egypt
ian GrottO, a mile and Il half in the
cave, shown what was wanted to
be done, and left by himself to do
the work. In due course of time
everything was in readiness for the
blast, which he set off, and retired
behind a column to await the eX-
plosion, unthoughtedly leaving his
lights setting near by. The cOncus-
sion put out the lights, AM, as the
thunderings rolled through the i'm
mense cavern, echOing and re-echo-
ing like the last knell of doom, poor
jim found himself in literal
Egyptian darkness, a long way
from daylight, utterly alone in the
strange, weird, subterranean hall,
with the impression that the cave
had fallen in and entOmbed him
alive; then came such earnest and
imprisoned petitions for help as
only a scared darkey can put up.
Old Uncle Peter, who was at work
some half mile off, hearing his
cries for help, came rushing out for
some one to go to his assistance, Il
party started Immediately, and
when near enough to distinguish
what he was saying, the first thing
they heard was ooh, good Lawd
eff ever you'se gwine. to help a POI
niger now's de time ter do it 1; jes'
lem'me git outen dis damn place
once mo- an I'll be better niger
den l cher was before help! help +!
help! right now; good Marster, let
me see de blessed sunlight agin :"
When the party got to him they
found him kneeling where he first
stopped, afraid to move in any di-
rection, and in answer to the qaes-
ton if he was hurt, he said; mo,
boss, L amt hurt in my body, but
l tell you what, my mind is power

whole cussed thing had fell in on

like a coon in log trap, and when
/ see you comm, thinks TO mysef
now l knows what de angel of de-
liverance MEANS an dis things
been a better sermon to me dan
eny preacher can preach" After
some persuasion, Jim was induced
to go on with his work, but always
with guide and good supply of
lights and matches ON hand.

A New Cumberland River Packet.
Nashville Banner.

The Evansville Journal states
that Capt. Geo. S. Throop has sold
his half interest in the steamer
Josh V. Throop to Capt. w. H.
Carroll, and Capt. John III. Throop
has sold one half of his half interest
to Capt. John f. Wheless. Capt.
John II. Throop retains a one
fourth interest, and will command
the boat. The price paid has not
been made public. 1t was a cash
sale. The boat is intended to be
run upon the opening of the season
in the Upper Cumberland, for
which is admirably adapted, being
very light but substantially built,
and a splendid carrier. She will
be put in splendid repair at once,
reprinted and generally overhaul
ed, ready for the low water cam
paign. In the meantime, Capt.
Geo, 5. Throop will contract at
once for new Cumberland river
packet of about $50 tons burden
and expects her to be the best boat
on the Cumberland, to take the
place of the Josh V. ThrOop on the
reopening of navigation hence to
Nashville. She will be about 40
feet long, 354 feet beam and five
feet hold will have two ample
boilers with I5-inch cylinders and
five feet stroke. She will have a
full length and elegant cabin, and
will be light and fast. The Throop

with the Cumberland river trade
and are very favorably known

About the 1st of August, at 8

its head. Above the horizon, just

Death Of mrs. TT. q. rEerr,,t

The saddest duty of a public
journal is TO record the death Of an
esteemed member of the commune
ty in which it is published. This
simple tribute is rendered all the
sadder when the subject Of the
notice is lady, well known, be-
loved and esteemed by the entire
community. Such a lady was Mrs.
Henry G. Merritt, whose untimely
death occurred at 2 O'clock a. n. on
last Thursday. She had been sick
for some weeks, but her friends and
relatives thought that she was
much better on Wednesday, and
confidently looked forward to
her speedy restoration to health.
How poignant. then, must have
been their grief when, Wednesday
night, her illness took Il more seri-
GUS turn, and she passed into the
mysterious shadow of death. We
cannot better express our estimate
of her life and character than
what has already been said
by one who knew her better:
"That in all the relations of life she
was kind, gentle, loving and true.
In all these relations the graces of a
christian woman shone above all
other traits of character" To her
bereaved husband and relatives,
such a reflection cannot help but be
a sweet solace in their deep atfiiction,
and bitter tho the thought be, that
she is gone forever. there is, at least,
a pleasing consolation that the re.
membrane and example of her life
possesses an Immortality of its own
which time cannot dim.
Her funeral was preached by Drs
A. d. Sears and J. w. Lupton, al
the Baptist church, on last Friday
morning, and her remains were &c.
companied to their last resting place
at Greenwood cemetery, by a large
concOurse of friends.

Coz. JOHN G. BURCH, whose
death was announced last week,
was secretary of the United States
Senate. In that capacity he was
known nationally, but it was in
Tennessee where he had so long
lived and filled so many important
offices of public trust and confidence
that his untimely death will be sim
cerely regretted. He was only fif-
ty-fOur years OF age, and had just
begun to enjoy the full fruition of a
life of activity and hard work. n
native Georgian, he settled at Chat
tanoOga in 1852 and practiced law.
In 1855 he was elected to the lower
house of the state legislature, and in
1857 TO seat in the senate. He
won high distinctions i'm the legis-
lature and was elected speaker of
the senate. In 1859 he became ed
itor of the Union IL American, a pO-
sition which he filled with great
ability. When the war came ON he
entered the Confederate service and
served faithfully on the staff of Gen
erals Pillow and Forrest. The war
over, he settled at Nashville to
practice law, but soon drifted into
journalism again, purchasing con.
trolling interest in the Union and
American. In 1878 he was appoint
ed comptroller of the state, and
filled the office with credit to him.

In March 1879, he was elected sec
rotary of the United States senate,
and discharged the duties of that
difficult office so well as to win the
esteem and confidence of all the
senators without regard To party.
In short Col. Burch had been before
the people, as lawyer, politician
and n journalist for over twenty
five years and was never found
wanting in either character.
His remains were brought to
Nashville, where his funeral was
preached last Sunday afternoon.
His remains were escorted to their
last resting place at Mount Olivet
Cemetery by the Porter Rifles and
large cortege of sorrowing and
sympathetic friends and acquain-
tances.

Not long since, couple of ladies
being wearied out by the hot wealth
err, concluded TO avail themselves of
the pleasure of a good shower bath
at Wettstien's bath rooms. So their
husbands were accordingly sent
down to notify Wettstien Of the in

bifurcated garments and their wear
ers from the establishment. The
proprietor surrendered at discretion
and being a gallant man (he's a
widOwer and on the marrying list)
put everything in "apple pie" or
der, and sent for the wife of one of
his jOurneymen to wait on his lady
customers. After the workings of the
bathing apparatus had been fully
explained the ladies were given full
possession and the men folks retired.
The ladies getting everything in
readiness proceeded to enjoy the
luxury of the shower bath, which
they did to the fullest extent.
Things went on swimmingly for a
while, in fact soon become a little
too much so. In the excitement the
ladies forgot the directions how to

LINKS IN mEmoRY,s CHAIN

BY OLIVIA N. r.. CUNNINGHAM.
There is a link in the chain of memory,
Which we call "The Link of Woe"
And while retrospecting its dark stained
pages,
Tears of repentance flow,
For there, perchance by angers pen,
We find an act recorded,
Which adjoined to some vain thoughtless
deed,
Has made us broken hearted.
Another link in memory's chain.
That is named ''the link OF Regret"
Which ever brings the most bitter pain
And words we cannot forget,
And wish to recall the days comedy
That we might seek a wiser plan.
And to lull this pain we heave sigh
Alas "what might have been ~
Next in the chain is link called "Hope,"
Upon which life's anchor rests.
When fortltude frowns, and courage fails,
Hope whispers, "I1l assist"
Aud with what strength we cling to this
friend,
All tongues have failed to tell.
We reluctantly give up fortitude,
But with hope there's no farewell.
And in this chain is a link of "Pride,"
A perfect cheat and show,
But with woe and regret on either side
Through the valley of "reminiscences he
goes,
And oh the price of bitter tears,
Paid for this sprightly power,
Which may, perhaps in later years,
Reveal the darkest hour.
But in memory's chain is another link
Which is christened simply pleasure"
And the long past joys which it unfolds,
We dare not, cannot measure.
Kind words and smiles which in otheryears
The heart with joy has filed
Though we look back through a midst of
years,
Give pleasant memories still.
And these few links form a chain
OF the present and long ago,
And all our deeds are written down
AS each link VIII plainly show,
But blest is he who can truly say,
I've pondered memory's lexicon over,
And find no:woe or vain regret
Which pleasure does not cover.
