The Rev DR.. Parker and the Rev.
Mr.. Everts, two light-weights of Hart
ford, Conn, fought with bare fists in
the baptismal front of the South Baptist
church on July l., The marquis of
Queensbury rules were not observed,
but some blews were got in on either
side which would haYe done credit to
Mr.. Sullivan, or the late Mr.. Elliott.
The little difficulty grew out of an at
tempt.on the part of DIR. Parker to in
troduce congregations into the church,
which Mr.. Everts would not permit.
We admire Parker rather more than
Everts because he was determined to
baptize the children he. had brought to
church, and thus put them beyond the
chance of being lost, before he took off
his coat to fight Everts. His anxiety
about the souls of those children mark
him as conscientious christian, and it
would have been much better for Ey-
erts had he waited until the children
were baptized before he gave Parker |
nIp0I III the SlOm- |
ach. However, both of these brethren
have zeal-:hey have shown it-and we
can pardon much in view of the earnest
ness with which they fought their
christian battle. Brother Everts went
iIom Chicago to take up his humble
burden as baptist preacher, and Par
ker-weil, we some way feel that Par
ker, too, must be product of the wild
and fearless west, Both are godfearing
men, but Parker doesn't. like baptist
md Everts elevates his, nose when he
ices congregationalist. At least this
las been the situation; how it will be,
low that they have tested each others
nettle and have come so near going to
slory together, remains to be seen. It's
lot improbable that they Will be like
David and Jonathan hereafter, for they
re evidently the kind of men who re-
pect good fighters.

Last Thursday evening Nashville wa

Last Thursday evening Nashville was
the scene Of a sensation that bids fair to
rival the Helen Jewett mystery of years
ago. The sound of pistol shot brought
the hearers to the room of Mrs. Patter-
son, beautiful woman of ill-fame,
where she was found in the agonies of
death, from a pistol ball which had
passed through her left breast in the
neighborhood of the heart. Death
ensued an hour sfterward. Suspicion
points to VIM. L. Boyd, an old and
wealthy citizen of Nashville, with
whom she had been living as his mis-
tress, as the supposed perpetrator of the
deed, jealousy being the supposed
cause. Boyd is held in custody for
further developments which are await
ed with intense interest.

quietly went to their homes, feeling
that the day had been one Of pleasure

1t seems to be the case that the pro-
ductiOn Of eggs in this country is not
equal TO the demand. The Southern
States produce in excess of eonsump-
ton and supply many thousands of
dozens Of the Northern cities, our
own towns being included among the
number that ships largely by the bar
rel to New York city, but we were not
prepared for the following statement
which we take from one of our ex-
changes:
A liberal importation of eggs from
Germany, Austria, Italy and Denmark
is a new feature Of the foreign trade
1t New York. One commission house
Is receiving them at the rate Of several
Lun"red barrels a week, and realizes a
handsome profit by the operation.
The cost on the other side is about
twelve cents a dozen, and they are dis
posed Of TO jobbers in the New York
market at an advance of from three TO
seven cents. Each barrel contains
seventy dozen. The freight charges
and insurance amount TO fifty cents a
b1rrel. The eggs are brought over in
refrigeTators, and as rule, their quail
lty Is excellent, retail dealers not be-
ing able 10 discover any difference be-
tween them and fresh-laid eggs of do
nestle production.
