THE IMPENDING CRIsIs.-He got let
ter out of his box at the post Office yester-
day which he hurriedly read and indig-
nantly flung on the floor. On the second
thought he picked it up and placed it in
his pocket, but he was still red in the face
when friend eueried:
"From your tailor?"
~ wish it was," was the reply. "No, it's
blackmail."
"How?"
"Why, it's from friend who got mar
ried few wears ago. I had an invite to
the wedding and had to take present
costing $35.
"Of course"
"Then his first anniversary occurred, and
it cost twenty more"
"I've been there old fel."
"Then he had boy born, and our set had
to whack up on that. 1 guess he named
that cub after at least thirty of u.s.
EXACTLY And now?"
"Well, his mother-in-laW has come to
live with him, and this is an invitation to
rocking chair on her sixty-fifth anniversa-
ry:" -, -,
"And you'll go?"
"I've got to 20 or be ruled out of our set,
but I'll have my revenge. There are seven
of us in the family, and I'll be hanged II
we don't 20 at it and hold an anniversary
or something or other every two weeks for
the next ten ears."-Detro& Free Press.
GETTING THE TRUTH Now BY STRATA
GEM.-The feminine propensity for conceal
ing age, and resenting impertinent ques-
tions in regard to it, is common to all times
and nationalities but this does not detract
from our admiration of the trick by. which
the truth was got at in the following in
stance: A man newly married thought
when his wife unvailed for the. first time,
that she looked rather old and wrinkled.
Telling her so he asked her real age,
when, she replied '45 or 49," "You wrote
in the marriage contract 3e years." SAID
he, 'sbut you look even more than 45 or
46.'' At last she admitted 54. :.
The husband was still doubtful, so he be-
thought himself of stratagem for getting
at the truth. Jumping up he said, III must
cover up the salt before going to bed or else
the rats will eat all before morning"
"Well," said his wife, laughing, 81 have
heard.of and seen many strange things in
the 6S years of my life, but never saw or
heard of rats eating salt before. ."-Chanese

THE MEYER CASE.
A LEGAL VIEW OF THE LATEST
SENSATION.
The LAW or Self Defense and OF
Irresistible Impulse
Defined.

Attorney General Peters will have
his hands full at the beginning of his
term" remarked well known attor-
nsy yesterday. "He won't have much
trouble about the csse of Bath, who
killed Kelly with a mallet on Front
row the other day, but the Meyer
case is rather ticklish, especially on
account OF the amount OF sentiment
which usually surrounds cases of the
kind"
"What do you think of the Meyer
killing?"
"Insanity" was the lsconic reply.
"Nevertheless, Judge Dubose was
correct in his order to the Sheriff not
to release him on bail until fuller
examination into the facts could be
had. His admission that he laid in
visit, and that he would have been
willing 10 accept money as the price
of his own and his wife's honor,
deprived him OF the main beam
Of his support. Under the
cold law homicide is excusable only
in self defense. But latter day sen.
timent has added another tauss of ex-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. impulse, such
as the feeling an honorable, chivalrous
man might have who suddenly found
his wife in the situation in which
Meyer ia said to have found his
spouse. But in this case it is con-
clusively shown by his own statement
that he deliberately set trap to catch
Ducnavant, writing decoy letter, fol-
lowing it and lying in wait for his vic
tim. That di;p"ses of the plea of
irresistible impulse. He cannot plead
self defense, because he leveled q
pistol at Dunnavant before he was
aware of his presence, and Dunpavsnt
sprang toward him for the purpose of
defending himself. That he shot him
to save his own life will no. constitute
a case of self defense. And vet
when it is all Argued accord
ing to the cold letter of the law
it does seem that Meyers statement
that he merely meant TO get proof, to
bring him to bay and make him &C
knowledge it, might bs the true the
DRY. But be should be held anyway,
ss the proof is evident, or the PIE
sumption great, that he has committed
a capital otfense. Under our law such
crime is not bailable."
In the meantime, Meyer and his
wife are as loving as two tur lie doves,
and they mean to bate together for
his release. There were no new de-
veiopments yesterday, though the air
was full CT fumors.
The Nashville Union OF yesterday
rays: "Tne remains of Mr.. w. B.
Donnavaut arriv, d here last night.
They were accompanied by his wife,
his brother John and vile, Phil and
Mr.. Knox. They were taken to his
mothers, on South College street, near
the Howard school. The funeral will
occur at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the
Central Baptist Church. Friends of
the deceased claim that at the trial of
his murderer facts will be showed
quite at va lance with the published
statements. Hcs,s of old Nashville
friends of the family will suspend
their judgment until a finality is had
10 the investigation at Memphis"

THEY FOUGHT MOLLY.

A colored military company OF Pitts
burg, Pa, has asked for enrolment in
the Fourteenth white regiment, and
30 great is the opposition on the part
of the whites that it is said II the me-
groes should be enrolled the regiment
would at once disband. Aud this au-
tipathy to the negrois in Pennsylvania,
State which casts nearly one hundred
thousand majority for the Republicans,
who are continually trying to force
the negroes on the whites In the cars,
the theaters, the hotels aud the public
schools. We are told that "the coloIed
troops fought nobly," and in addition
to this the colored man and brother
generally votes nobly-with the Re-
publican pariy-but whether this will
have any more weight in gaining him
admittance to the ranks OF the white
citizen soldiery than it has had in gain.
ing him political preferment remains
to seen. The co!ored soldier may be
fully rs brave as his white brother,
may in time become as proficient in
drill, may turn out on dress parade
with fully as much credit to himself,
but granting all this, there are good
grounds for doubling that the mem
beis of the Pennsylvania soldiery will
be anxious or willing to accept
him as comrade in arms, the
admiring Glances OF the public
on parade and the pleasures
and close companionship OF camp life.
They may do all this in spite OF our
doubts, but il they do not their rea-
