THE HOME OF THE nARRIsEs
From AN Humble Log Cabin, the

NashyilIs American. II.

There was yesterday reelected to
the United States Senate from Ten
nessee a nan whose career illustrates
the promise that is held out to every
young mar Of intelligence and energy
in this country.
About midway between Tullahoma,
on the line Of the Nashville and Chat
tanooga railroad, and the well known
Hurricane Springs. stands a log cabin.
Its primitive rudeness rests upon every
log, 1t is simple, unadorned and rough.
1t stands there as it has stood for more
than half a century. There is no at.
tractiveness in the surrounding scene.
There is, in fact, no scenery. The
eyes OF the passengers who are rolled
along the dusty road in sumner, on
their way to the springs, several miles
beyond, see a stretch Of sountry that
is un~attraotive, even to WEAKNESS. No
spring time seems ever to pass that
way. Dead trees stand in ghostly
array, where the fresh, new verdure Of
budding time should abound. No
modest violets or bidding ferns fringe
the road side. No vines of any kind
Chamber up the naked sides Of the old
house. No brooks or moss covered
spring house are seen. The yard, be.
tween the house and the road, contains
none of the customary homoly evil
denoes Of feminine love for flowers.
The morning glory, the hollyhock and
the old red and yellow honeysuokles,
clinging to the garden cross Of wood,
are absent. The scene is one of desc
%lation, complete and irredeemable. 1t
is THE Barrens." /.

Barreft,s New TragedY.

Barrett's New Tragedy.
With his new play Of "Francesca
da Rimini," Mr.. Lawrence Barrett,
the scholarly and accomplished TRACE.
dian, supported by an excellent com
pany, has drawn three very large
audiences on as many successive
nights. The first performance had a
fine attendance, the second sill better
and last night the seats were full while
a number of spectators stood in the
sisles to witness the play. The receipts
have been very liberal, and exceeded
each night the highest ant icipations
and estimates of the eminent actor.
The nightly increase in the attend.
ances evidences the fact that the play
possesses merit, and that: genuine at
fractions, properly presented, will
draw well. But a single complaint
can be properly made regarding the
new piece so successfully given by Mr..
Barrett, and that is the notable lack
Of scenic features in the stage
settings, :.and: the omission Of
the choral parts. These details
have been attended to in other
cities, and doubtless when Mr.. Bar
