When his wjle heard the report of tho pis tol in the yard she rushed to the door screaming at the top of her voice. The would-be suicide consoled her and assuaged her frantic grief by saying, "Mine frow, you ncids not hollow dat vay. 1 ish not a dead man jet, for ven 1 shoot de pistol at my head 1 miss de mark dat time."' The cause of his rashness was a deijjestic rencontre in which he was a little worked. Admission to the Exposition. Tho Board of Managers of the Nashville Industrial Exposition request us to slate that the price of admission remains the saitie as last year. No change has been made in the admission fee, which is twenty five cents for adults and fiftc.cn cents for children. The Board had decided, and so advertised the above amount some time since, but makf; this special announcement because of contrary reports having been circulated, which went to say the price of admission would be fifty and twenty, in stead of twenty-five and fifteen cents. Adjudged Xot Guilty. A few days ago a wonim named Catha rine Douglas fired two deliberate shots at the unprotected person of Selina Thomas, but some how or other eacli failed of its mark, and Selina still lives to tell of her "hair breadth escape'' from a terrible fate. The feminine shoolist was also lucky, as she escaped arrest and punishment for her souxswliat reprehensible conduct. Her daughter, Elizabeth, was arrested as acces sory to the shooting, but ;rpon arraignment before Justice Cassety, was released, there being no proof that she had anything to do with the attempted killing. Dead Body Recovered. A few days ago while Mr. John Baugh was fishing in West Harpelh river, four miles beyond Franklin, Williamson county, his hook caught what he at first thought was a huge fish or a great turtle. He was not little surprised to find it was the body of a de.ul negro man, whose name and the cause of whoso death remain unknown. The Coroner held an inquest over the body, and a post medical examination of which by Dr. German showed that the negro's neck had been broken. A verdict was returned in accordance with the above facts. Trial llofcrrcd. Trial on tho charge of harboring a girl for the purpose of seduction, having been pre ferred against a woman named McPhcrson, was set for hearing at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Tho accused who was under bond in the sum of $500 for her appearance was present, as were also numerous specta tors attracted by the rather unusual and interesting nature of the case. The prose cutrix, ni'tther of the erring girl, was also tlioie. IJu' Hie unfortunate girl was not there and could not Ik found. On this account the hearing of the charge against the woman McPhcrson. was deferred until Tuesday next. Escape of a Captured Convict. In yesterday's Usios axu Aukkicax was an account of tho capture of an escaped convict, Tom Howard by the chief of po lice in Richmond, Virginia, last Thursday week. The G overnor sent word to have the prisoner brought back here, and when near Murfreesboro yesterday morning at 2 o'clock on his way to this city, Howard made his escape by jumping from the train. His guard H. W. Dabney, who was Worn out bj the lougjounicy from Riclmiond, went to sleep, and when he awoke found that the prisoner, who was hand cuffed and had also a ball and chain attached, had lelt the car. Mr Dabney stopped at Murfreesboro, and in compauy with the Sheriff of Rutherford county, went back to the supposed point where Howard jumped from the train, but found no traces of him. The officers of the penitentiary offer a reward of one hundred dollars for hjs apprehension, and it would bo worth au effort to overhaul Howard, who being hand cuffed and having hjs legs chined is suffering froin a wound in the arm received when captured in Richmond. i. o. '. r. Tlio Anniversary of tlio Order Hoiv It ivns Observed. Testerdav beinp the 53d anniversarv of the irisUtuUon pf Odd-Fellowship In Am erica, it was deemed appropriate to com morate. the anniversary in .some way, and not let such an Important event pass ny without tho usual demonstration. Conse quently Edgefield Lodge took the initiative In tho matter, and invited a co-operative movement on the part of tho city Lodges. The arrangements were completed in a short time, and instead of attempting to have a day paraTewhTch would invoke con siderable expense, it was agreed to celebrate the occasion by a night procession and au oration. Shortly after dark last evening the mem bers of Edgefield Lodgb niet at their hall, and marched in procession to tho Public Square, in this city. The members of Smiley .Lodge, No. DO, met at their hall in South Nashville, ami proceeded to Odd Fellows' Hall, on Summer street, where Tennessee Lodge, No. 1, Trabuo Lodge, No. 10, and Aurora Lodge, No. 105, and the various members of the Encampment joined in the procession, and marching to the Public Square, they were met by Edge field Lodge, and escorted over the bridge, and through several of the principal streets in Edgefield, arriving rt McClurc's Hall, on Woodland street, about half j?ast 8 o'clock. A largo number of ladfes and gentlemen had assembled in the hall before the pro cession anved, and when the Order entered tho spacious building was packed to over flowing. t The exercises at the hall opened with musio by' the' band. Then followed .a prayer by Rev. Dr. Wheeler. Afterward a grand chorus by the choir, which was loudly applauded. An address was then delivered by Col. T. H. Jones, a member of Edgefield Lodge. We make a brief synopsis of "his remarks. He said: It is with a degree of diffidence, I confess, that one so young as I am in the cause for which I staud before you as an advocate this eveninz should occupy the position I do, and vet it is with a higher degree of pride when I look before me and behold this sea of intelligent faces gathered here this evening to unite with us in celebrating the fiftv-tbird anniversary of the successful establishment of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows m America. Ihe time was when t'ie question would have been asked by many if such an assemblage as this many perhaps who would not attend such an assemblage who are these Odd Fel lows 1 For what purpose are they band ed together? Are they plotting tho over throw pf the government ? Are they or ganized for tho disruption of society? Are they gathered together for the accomplish ment of an evil ? And with fear and tremj bling upon its throne, Tyranny would have said: "Crush them. It is dangerous to allow so large a body of men to meet aud work logetlierln harmony. They must, therefore, be destroyed, or a firebrand must be thrown in their midst to scatter them." But it is not so now. Stand ing in the glorious light of the nineteenth century, we can do it peaceably. He ad verted to some of the principles on which' the order was founded for the benefit of those present not members of it, and par ticularly for the benefit of those ladies who might demur that their husbands were ab sent at the lodge when they ought to be at home. Odd Fellowship was foimded on the principle of universal brotherhood and hu man fraternity, The organization was originally instituted for mutual protec tion and relief; not the protection of any one, however, who outraged the laws of society and moral law. Tcrhaps there was no class who would more roaoilT asS in the execution of punishment for crime than tho Odd ellows. He detailed the nu merous beneficent an4 olhe oRtcos which the Order performed for the benefit of mem bers or the widows and orpbaus of deceased members. In this way they took off of the community the care of many that otherwise the community would have to care for. Ho incidentally remarked that there wcrcsome who said tnat an orcaiufiatiun liko this con llicted with the church. He did not think sj. It uas among otheis au instrument in the hand of Divine Providence to bring about great moral reform throughout the laud; to hasten the time when all men would call each other brothers; when uni versal peace would reign; and in that day tlicy would led proud tlioy had assisted m the great won;. Tha order taught a man he had a living soul ond m his initiation he was first conducted to tho throne of Heav enly grace. These societies could not prop erly be called secret societies. It was true that there were some features of the organ ization tha vpre kept secret, but they were kept secret because inttiis they wi.ro con ducive to more good than they would other wise be. The organization numbered among its members some of the most influcn tial men in the country, therefore it was a power for good in society, which in turn affected the government of the country. Odd Fellowship was a power in the right hand of Religion itself. Whoever said oth erwise did not know what he was talking about. There was another class who ob jected to the Order to secret organiza tionsbecause ot overweening curiosity or bad character; some of them probably could not and would not be permitted to join the Order because of their bad character. It was not necessary to say more about these. To those who said Odd Fellows were selfish, that they confined their charity within the circle of their own members, ho would reply that what they did was a benefit to the community in general, and again that Odd Fellows individually did a great deal of good outside of the order; con tributed freely to charitable enterprisesand paid taxes like other men. Ho knew that none of the ladies present would ever de mur if their husbands attended lodge meet ings instead of remaining at home when they take into consideration the Christian character of the work which the order per formed; the solemn duties its members per formed and particularly the benefit such an organization was to them. He predicted a still more glorious future than the past had been, and said its members would be among tnc happiest when they saw in Heaven the return of their labors. - After the address of Col. Jones the choir again favored tho audience with an anthem. The choir was composed of the very beat male and female voices in tie county, and the honors equally divided between South Nashville and Edgefield. Then followed the address of Gen. James M. Quailes, the orator of the evening. Waut of time aud space prevents us from giving the address of Gen. Quarles in full. It was chaste in language, choice in diction, and abounded in similes that were beauti ful and elegant. It might safely bo assumed, he said, that in no age f the world had a government existed so perfect in theory aud practice as to reach the multiform social necessities of its people. Indeed in the .very nature of things this w;is impracticable" because those civil governments which approximated nearest to perf ction could only lay down a system of general rules for the protection of life, liberty and property, and the specific enactments ui.der such systems were for the most part penal in their character and nccossari'y restricted to Lic suppression of the major evil j incident to our civil and social relations, leaving countless others to the guardianship of the moral sense of the people themselves. The inequality be tween knnnledgft and ignorance, wealth and poverty, virtue and vice, the ills at tendant "upon tho aspirations of Inordinate ambition, the graspings of avarice, the tyrany of social casts, the cxclusivencss of sectarian sympathy, were beyond the reach of civil government, and yet they constituted the greater part of human woes. Under our own Government, confessedly the most perfect in theory of all that had preceded it, wc could not but see how inadequate were the laws to relieve the sufferings and pro mote the happiness of social life; and if, in our favored land, with its fiee institutions, virgin soil and sparse population, poverty, wretchedness and woo appealing to our sympathies for relief, it required no great effort of fancy to paint the darker picture that presented itself in Ies3 favored countries, aud in that remote antiquity where the riglits of man had no broader siguificance than the privileges and immunities he won by the strength of his arm or daring. And as there was engraft ed upon hh very nature under every sys tem of government resistance to wrongj how easy the influence that in the earliest stages of his existence he endeavored by private combinations to shield himself and thos 3 dependent on him against evibhe could noithcr openly resist or remedy by appeals to justice and humanity. Aud it was doubtless to this that wo owed the origin of Odd Fellowship, the record of which extended beyond that f rrofano history. There had over boon a necessity for its existence and an au iplo field for its usefulness. But what ever it b ago whatever the modifications it might have undergone to conform it to the spirit a nd requirements of the Jtimes its ends, it objects and its principles had" ever been theV same. And unquestionably the same nw icssiiy mat gave rise tonus oraer engrafted secrecy upon it so greatly ob jected to the thoughtless. The despots of olden ti'inc, as well as of the present day, conscious of the merited execration of those they ruled, and fearing the hand of retributive justice might at any time put tho "poisoned chalice" to their lips, prac ticed a sleop.'css espionage over tho private circles of their respective people and promptly suppressed every organization that might interfere with the policy of the government, inus driven to the oxercise of utmost caution they who ban ded for mutual aid, iu . the struggles and misfortunes of life, met In secret to avoid tho ever vigilant eyes of tho tyrant aud com pressor. But it was not the antiquity of Odd Fellowship that he desired to vindicate. Ho would discard all matephysical disquisi tion aud seek to portiay tho practical use fulness of the Order. The date of an Insti tution was no guarantee of its usefulness. He then expatiated upon the uses and ben efits of the Order to its members, as organ ized and practiced, and its effect in com munities where organized. There were no favored few and toiling many in the Order; no high and low; no lines defining a circle of society. If slander's merciless fang struck a member of the Order, a brother was at hand to defend him. His family were cared for If they needed it. A brother did not die alone. The orphans wore cared for. Many of our pleasures, as well as sorrows sprang from the aggregation of men into families, neighborhoods, countries and States; and some of our most sacred duties to one' an other grew out of our relations to each oth er as members of a common country, hav ing a common parentage, interest and des tiny. Our friendships and hatreds, and lovo3 aud enmities, arose from our inter course with our fellow men, iu our social re lations with them, and thus sprang up around us,as we formed ourselves into socie ties aud corauntnitiesjuew feelings, interests aud duties, and opened up to the philan thropist unlimited fields for the exercise ef the most extended benevolence and univer sal charity. This was the peculiar field of the Order. Oddfellowship arose in the necessities of man as a social, rational and responsible being, not to add one more star to tho waning constellation of nobility not to deal with fictitious interests or practice fanciful experiments, but it was formed to deal with substantial life to minister to real wants a practical, useful and active benevolence. The guardian ship of the widow and orphan was entrust ed to itsad yet pleasing duty : Speak sweetly to the fatherless And check the liarbii rejily TUat senqs tho crimson to tho check : The tear-drop to the eye. Thev have tho cold and loneliness Of tills rude world to bear, Then gently raise the fallen bud The drooping flovyret spare. Glaneing at some of tlie beneficent effects of Odd Fellowship, not only on themselves as individuals, but as members of the com munity in w:hich they resided, he said it was equally clear that what was of benefit to men .aggregated iu so cieties or communities woula be of bene fit to the State at large. They not only liad abstract truth iu support of this but they also had facts. The Order was con ducive to goodfgoverument. Although bpth in tiicory and practice it was 'disqijanfied from participating iu it as an Order, never theless It was in its teaching a powerful auxiliary to good government. Ite analyzed '.lie CCCt Gi conutict on tnc order and its refrain, and incidentally interpolated au exhortation ou .his point. "Let us culti vate a high, strict aud unwavering in tegrity," he said, "and let it elevate, guide, control aud vivify us every impulse, desire and action;" not that integrity which would not outrage the positive rules and ordinances of society, but the higher. The peroration was iu favor of all the higher vir tues, Tr.e address was listened to with marked attention. The exercises terminated with the clos ing ode of the Order, in which all the mem hers participated. Altogether the evening passed off pleas autiv. and all felt that it was cood to be there. The members of the Order must feel highly gratified with the observance of a day winch will bo held in sacred rcmcm- branc-. lor ages to come. Real Estate Transfers.

The mule stood on the steamboat dock! The land he would not tread; They put the halter round his neck, And cracked him o'er the head. But obstinate and braced he stood, As born the scene to rule, A creature of the hold-back breed, A stubborn, steadfast mule. They cursed and swore he would not go Until he felt inclined; And though they thundered blow on blow, 1T( altprert Tint, liifl tnin'V The deck hand to the shore complained, "The varmint's bound to stay!" And still upon the critter'sside The sounding lash made play, His master lrom the shore replied, "The boat's about to sail, As other means In vain you've tried, Suppose you twist his tail, It's likely that will make him land." Tho deck hand, brave, though pale, Tho nearer drew, with outstretched hand, To make the twist avail. There camo a kiqk of thunder sound: The deck ha id where was he?

A young man at Memphis a was "sitting up" with his inamorata at the time of the late earthquake, and she, of course, fainted in Ids arms. He is since oflering twenty dollars for a new shock.. The death of Miss Eliza Couldock, at Salt Lake, will be a severe loss to her wor thy father, by whom she was greatly be loved, and with whom she has been asso ciated as an actress for some years. She was a young lady of much histrionic merit and xjf tho mest amiable personal charac ter. An alligator eight feet long, was recent ly killed, ten miles below Little Rock, if there is any truth in the allegation of the local paper. The mosquitoes in Louisiana, having completed their three months vacation, have returned to duty with a clean bill of health. Indianapolis girls, at the opera, gtace fully hang their feet over the balcony rail ings, a feature of attraction not on the bills. Forty-five thousand loads of garbage were removed from the streets of New York in five days, and no preceptible dimi nution of the dirt. Bits of silver were picked up in tho streets of Jacksonville, Oregon, during a recent rain. They must have fallen from that "cloud with a siUer lining" which wa read about. The Russia leather waist belt is a great invention for the ladies, It carrios their porte monnaie, vinaigrette, parasol and other domestic utensils, so essential to the female economy. At a recent funeral of a spiritualist, in San Francisco, a medium stated that the deceased was present, standing on his head, performing all sorts of antics and making fun of the corpse. Mary Ward,a dark hued female,commit ted to jail yesterday by 'Squire Butler for contempt of Court, says she has now more contempt than ever for that particular court.

Citizens generally think there is present pressing necessity for increasing the police force of the city, but the City Council seem slow to take decisive steps in that direction The members of the Kate Cantrell Boat Club are making preparations for an active spring and summer campaign.

Truly independent he who can afford to dress so as to suit his own ideas of per sonal comfort, convenience and economy. Events of public interest were yester day very scarce at tne court Mouse, and also at all other points in and about the city. In what way can a reduction of fares on the street railroads be secured is just n6w a question pf interest to persons who Iiave occasion to seek that means of trans portation. A portion of the delegation to the Conr ventions at Cincinnati the 1st of May have already gone. Gov. Footc, Chancellor East and others will do likewise to-day or to morrow. Music has charms to soothe tho savace nature of men, aud the citizens of Nashville have therefore reason to congratulate them selves that they have a plentitudc of that redeeming agency. A beautiful young lady who had allow ed the tendrils of her heart to twine foudly around a strapping great conductor on a horse car, had her affectionate nature crush ed by the discovery that he was taking fare from her, and dead-heading another girl who lived on the same street. She did not eat pickles and pine away, but wrote him an affecting epistlo which read: "You want to nok down enuff stamps to get me a pais ler shawl & and a dolley vardln before sun day or I will put an awning over that girl's eye the next time i meet her in society.

Twelve, years ago a few modest lines in a New York journal invited public attention to a new Vegetable Restorative, and solicited a trial of its mer its as a remedy for indigestion, biliousness, fever and ague, debility, nervous disorders, rheumatism, and all complaints requiring invigorating and regulating treatment. In this quiet, unpretentious way, Plantation Bitters was introduced to the world. It was a success from the beginning. All that was claimed for it as a tonic, a corrective and antidote to malarious fever, was found to be strictly true,. Within five years the annual sales of this artice amounted to over one million of bottles. A few years more and the demand had swelled to five mil lions. The annual consumption of the bit ters has now reached the almost incredible aggregate of six millions of bottles, and for every bottle sold a copy of the Blustrated Medical Annual, published by the proprie tors at a cost of 150,000, is given away. ap24 deodlw&wlt Trimmed Sailor Hats for one dollar, at Davis', 135 Church st. ap23 lw .
