I i V-'' The spell of hot weather we have sustained for a week has so far produced no fatal effects here, unless the death of a bricklayer last Sun day is to be attributed to sun-stroke, but it is very trying and may be come dangerous. We would gest to the many workmen now engaged in building operations here ami to their employers an arrange ment by which they shall begin work at sunrise and work till sunset, and deduct the difference from the work done during the hottest part of the day. One thing, in any case, caunot be too urgently ex pressed. The universal opinion expressed by physicians both during this spell and others in past time is that indulgence in alcoholic liquors very largely aggravates both the number and severity of the attacks; scarcely an instance is recorded in which a man attacked with sunstroke during a spree has recovered. The accounts from Northern cities, especially St.

Louis rfnd Chicago, are appalling. In the former the number of deaths from sun-stroke from Thursday, the 11th, to Wednesday, the 18th, is 145., Wanted, A Here. Will not some brave man, who ha9 influence in the fashionable world and has courage to defy the behests of general usage, set the example of dispensing with cravats and shirt collars during the hot weather, not merely when in dishabille, but throughout the day. Ah, but the ladies, it will be said, what will. they say and do? Gentlemen, those interesting beings have far more sense than you give them credit for, and we are confident they would prefer no shirt collar at all to one which enters; the room as stiff as a piece of sheet-iron and leaves it soaked and limber like a wet dish-cloth.

The ladies themselves, too, must be suffering from the present fashion of closely clinging dresses, the effects of which must but there, we are venturing on! dangerous such as a bashful old bachelor should have kept clear of. We will only say, ladies, dress in any way you find comfortable and allow us the same latitude. We were glad to meet on. Wednesday last In our city our bachelor friend, Stewart Dick, of Paducah, Ky. He is looking remarkably pvell, and received a warm welcome from his many friends of this place.

Seeing him reminds us of a serious incident, which happened to him during the" war. After the fall of Fort Doneldson, Stewart, C. D. Roberts and.ourself chanced to be near the river, just above the Seven-Mile Ferry, when a Federal gunboat was passing, and, being curious to see the boat, we concealed ourselves behind trees to watch itas it passed. Just as it was opposite us a sharp report from a gun ring out and, to our dismay and astonishment, we found that bur friend Stewart was shot through the arm by a sharpshooter on the boat.

We carried him to the nearest house, where he had the best of medical attention and nursing, and after many, many long days of suffering finally recovered. i i We have to acknowledge the receipt from the author of a pamphlet entitled State Debt and State Fi- ces. of the BtaXe Bank Letter from Hon. John C. Burch.

A few of the readers of the Chonicle may possibly remember that at the very commencement of our editorial charge of this paper we reviewed a pamphlet to a similar purpose by the Hon. Geo. Phelan. Both writers advocate the payment of the debt by the same process, namely, the re-establishment of the Bank of Tennessee, with i the understanding that the profits are to be devoted to; the liquidation of the Statje debt. Our review of Mr.

Phelan's pamphlet was not favorable to the1 expediency or practicability of the proposed arrangement, and we must candidly state that our opinion has not been changed on reading the present brochure, but we are informed, that Coll Burch will speak on the sub ject in this place shortly, promise him an attentive; hearing and respectful consideration of the arguments he may advance We make the announcement with pleasure that the young people in the neighborhood of Antioch, on the South side of the river, intend giving a musical entertainment On next Tuesday night, for the purpose of making some needed repairs on the church at that place. The entertainment will consist of vocal and instrumental music, charades, etc. We learn that some of the best musical talent of this city have agreed to take part in the performance, and they, together with the well-known musical talent of that neighborhood, will insure a first-claas entertainment. We wish them abundant success. Chancery Court will! adjourn, we understand, to-day.

Oii account of the confusion into which everything was thrown by reason of the recent fire the court was not a protracted one. However, the Chancellor has to open court at Dover on Monday next. Judge Tarver has given great satisfaction as ia Chancellor during the time he has been on the bench, and we would regret to see him leave it. We believe the people of Montgomery county will give him a large majority on the 1st of August, and thus give him the assurance of "well done, good and faithful servant." tt I I The School Directors of the different districts are requested to call on Mr. Howell at the Bank, of Clarksville and get blanks to make out their reports, and when said reports are'conipleteay leave them at the bank, so that Superintendent Carney can get them.

This is important and should receive prompt attention. 1 I I Look out, bathers; the police have strict orders to arrest all parties bathing inside the corporation. This practice has become a great nuisance, and those who wish to bathe had better wait until dark, or it will be a costly luxury. Below we give the distribution of the School fund by R. D.

I have not been called upon by a crowd of admiring friends, which is the orthodox form ol candidacy, but offer myself on my own motion, believing I can do more good in that capacity than in kny other.

Mr. Cooke did not low a singBe watch or article of jewelry belonging to his customers In the late flre.i although his house was burning twenty minutes after the alarm was given. tf a i i i at Dunbar's Give on Thursday, al though not much used of late to such junketings. As our readers have been already informed, the occasion was' a match game of ero quet, the principal competitors being Mr. John F.

Couts, of this place, and Miss Lula Daily, of Bethlehem. The original arrangement was that each of the two champions should select two auxiliaries, so as to make it three on a side, but upon further consideration it was concluded that that would make the game too long, and agreed that one ally only on each side should be called in, and, with the Bame view, tiie match was arranged to depend upon the best out of three games, instead of five, as originally contemplated. Mr. Couts selected as his ally his daughter. Miss Jessie Coutsn These were on the ground at an early hour in the morning, and a little before nine Miss Daily arrived with her confederate, Mr.

Ed. Bourne. The result showed that she mads a most sagacious choice. Mr. Bourne has a considerable local reputation as a croquet player, and we must say that his playing convinced us of what we never before believed, that croquet is a game capable of developing both science and manual skill.

But this is anticipating. Playing began at half-past nine, Mrs. Couts and the Itev. Dr. Ilan-ner being appointed referees.

The first game was won by Miss Daily and her leaving bur town friends far behind. Until the result was brought about, we hardly think our city friends realized the strength of play which there was against them. They were now on their niettle and (with admirable play oh both sides) the second game was scored to them. This left things even, and, it-being dinner time, the third and deciding game was appointed to follow that important transaction. To use an expression of the Louisiana politicians, we were "taken care of and may we never be worse off in regard to creature comforts than we were under the hospitable entertainment of Mrs.

Couts and Mrs. Aeree. There were many other syl van tables spread, and no one was sent away hungry; After a short interval the "sugar" game" commenced! Every combatant ev idently put forth his utmost Mr, Couts grave and calculating Miss Daily i manifesting the grace and self-possession which can only arise from practised skill Mr. Bourne, a perfect master of the game, and Miss Jessie eager and active with the enthusiasm of youth. It may! be set down for certain that no better croquet has ever been played in this county.

Victory ultimately perched on the standard of the country players, to whom Mr. Couts and his daughter very gracefullyand. cheerfully accorded the honor. The ceremony closed with the presentation of a beautiful bouquet to the victorious lady by Miss Whitfield, who did this editor -the honor of selecting him as her spokesman. A little desultory now followed, and, shortly afterwards, the dance occupied the young people.

One circumstance connected with this dance is worth recording. There was no music on the ground except such as could be made by a noted negro whistler. At first we supposed that this would be a mere burlesaue. but ww -v' mstaKen. For three whole sets the whistler furnished as efficient dance music as anyone could desire.

It was the most astonishing whistling ve ever heard. The whole entertainment was delightful the mouth of the cave was refreshingly cool, while everything around was suggestive of sun-stroke the company agreeable, and, in short, we feel invigorated for another struggle with the heated spell. Wejiiardly hope our political friends, the candidates, will give as as much fun or as pleasant a temperature to-day (Friday) at St. Bethlehem. The Itisrht Man in tlte Right Place.

The county elections are close at hand and we earnestly call upon our readers to consider the matter carefully, taking plenty of time fer their decision. Those whq at the last moment, in the hurry and excitement of the election, make their choice, almost always wish afterwards that they had voted differently. Nor should the most humble post be carelessly filled; as much mischief may be occasioned by a bad selection for Constable as by putting in? the wrong'man for County Judge. Look -'-over our list of candidates and make your selection at your leisure. If you are not personally acquainted with them, converse withsomebody who is, and act accordingly.

Gentlemen: Some: of your citj- zens, myself among jthe number, company to are incorporating a build water-works for the city, a work of utility long needed here and which the writer tried to get up twenty years ago. It is intended that the supply of water shall be large, sufficient to supply every pri vate house and furnish complete protection from fires. The company proposes to furnish fire plugs, to be under the control of trie city, which will, at a moment's notice, without the aid of engines, throw streams of water over the highest buildings in the city. This will eive complete protection and save large amounts to our citizens in the ray of reduction of insurance rates. They will also establish free fountains for watering stock, which will be a great convenience tq i our country friends trading with our people.

I feel sure that it is only necessary to inform you of the move to secure your heartiest co-operation in a movement of so much importance. Please tak matte under con-oiaeratlon and favor the company with your views, and state the number of "fire plugs" which you think sufficient for the complete protection of the city from fire. When the company's organisation is completed, they will inforin ypu of the lowest possible price (per fire plug for which they will furnish the water. I am, with much respect, your obedient servant.

Clark'. On Tuesday last we attended the barbecue and hrandanjee at what is known as Moseley's Fll, on the Paradise Hill turnpike. When we arrived we found the dance under full headway, the dancers tripping the fantastic toe to tho lively strains of the Collinsville String Band, with Col. Robert Searcey prompter. Some four or five hundred people were present, some listening to the speaking, some dancing, and others engaged in so-ial conversation.

The barbecue was most excellent, and we are indebted to the managers for a goodj dinner. We believe everbody enjoyed themselves, as a general thing, although the weather was intensely warm. We are of opinion however, that a little Murphy speaking at these numerous barbecues would not be entirely out of place, On Saturday, the Gth a difficulty occurred nearMt.

Weakly made his escape and at last accounts was still at large. The voters of this, the 12th, district are reminded that there are two Constables to be elected at the approaching August Election.

To see God la everything and to feel Him in oar afflictions; Is that to which the Christian aspire.

The Bible Is tho only book which promises jihat "our light affliction, which Is but fona moment, worketa for us far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we lbok not at the thing which are seen but at (the things which are Were It (not for such promise our liearts would brdak at the sad tale of woe and bereavement tliat comes up fi-om al-mont every heart, have Just been called upon us frlends and as a community, to give up two lovely young ladies, Miss Llllle Bailey and MisS Amelia Graham. These were laid away iiu their last resting place in the City Cemetery, the one In tiie morning and the other ln the evening of last Lord's day. It almost li Hiked like lanylng Immortality. The abu jidance of rich and beautiful flowers thatj covered their graves was but an Index: tq the tenderness of the tie broken by the hand of death. It is sad to give up such fflom our circles, but Bueh things belong to! this life.

It ls gratifying to thoir friends to know that both of these young ladies hat) made a profession of their faith in Christ, i "The fountain iof Joy ls fed by tears, And love Is ltlt by the breath of sighs, 1 The deepest griefs and the wildest fears 4 Have holiest ministries." W. A. B. I Carbets. atthia is of a soft grey tint and trimmed with dressed stoneffrom the Bowling Green quarries.

It presents a deli cacy of tone ratherjthan severe con trast. The architectural treatment in the detail of the building is confined to that period of Gothic archi tecture designated the. second and third periods in Gothic art in Eng land, which succeeded the Norman towards, the end of the 12th century, and merged Into the decorated at the end of the 13th. i The peculiar and beautiful char acteristics of these two periods'' of English Gothic are the forms of the mouldings, which produce strong effect pf light and shade; circular windows, which prevailed in this more than at any' other period; win dows pierced with cSrcles, trefoils, quatrefoils and the lile, thug form ing the commencement of tracery. The roofs are all high-pitched and all carvings are remarkable for bold development and finish; and merg ing through the transition period to that of the decorated, this style exhibits the most perfect develop ment of any period in Gothic archi tecture.

'I 1 As a specimen of pure and unde fined construction, Trinity church is a fine example of Ecclesiastical architecture; no shoddy, terra eotta on galvanized iron except in parts appropriate; no false show and mere constructing of ornanient. As true to art as nature is true to herself, this church must stand preeminent in the dioceses as an example of good taste, sound judgment, mechanical skill beauty. The church edifice in plan measures 106 feet. Upou both sides of the apsidal-formed chancel which is a pentahedron, and deeply 'recessed, are two small transepts which, by treatment of plan, develope into chancel aisles, and are adapted by parclose screens for a vestry room on one side and an organ1 and choir upon the other. The windows, seats, and gas standards, coronas, and other fixtures are rich and in good taste, which require the walls to be eventually finished in richly colored poly-chromatic mural painting.

The rich effect upon lighting the church was commented upon' by all, and'so by night or by day, the magnificent structure stands the test of the severest criticism. i The height to the apex of the roof in the interior is 59; feet, and the height to the springing is 22 feet. The roof is open ti mbered and moulded-panelled and is light and airy, and devoid of that overpowering in- fluence caused by overloading the ceiling with dark' masses of bulky timber used without purpose to obtain effect irrespective of the true principles of constructive art. Much could be said in regard to the undeveloped beauty, of this church structure, which' will grow with the growth and Influence of the and much should be jsaid of It, that a good example 'should be felt throughout the diocese upon all similar improvements. 1 Solidityjof construction, durability of economy of cost, beauty of form, and judicions and prudent management In execution marks every step and development ol this truthful piece of Gotnic Ecclesiastical Art.

I Water. Next week the opportunity will be offered our people of establishing water-works here. If they want water," they can have it, if they don't want it, it won't be forced on them. If they want it, they can eet it for nothing. The saving in the insurance rates pay the water-works, which Still only cost a cash outlay of not exceeding It is only a question whether they will pay so' much money for insurance or part'of it for insurance and the balance for an abundance of water.

There has been insurance paid here this year on tobacco alone on a value of at an average rate of over 21 per cent. The company will be and then our citizens caq decide the question for themselves." We hope the company will limit their dividends from 10 to 12 per cent per annumand use their surplus in improvements, free fountains, watering the streets, etc. What a comfort it, would have been to have our jWater-works in operation now during this swelter ing hot spell. Streets well watered would cool the air by evaporation and lay the choking dust. 4 Mrs.
