About 12 o'clock last night two soldiers, named Frank Williams and Henry from Ash Barracks, were arrested for assault and battery and lodged in the work house. They had used too much jug juice, and in the fight Williams lost blood trom his face and neck. This makes the fourteenth arrest up to one o'clock last night.

Arrested. Hack No. 22, with two horses, was arrested last night by an officer and driven to the workhouse, where the driver soon appeared and had them released. The vehicle and horses were found, driverless, standing on Summer street, opposite the St. Cloud Hotel.

The driver. Andrew Johnson, (col ored,) was arrested for this violation of the municipal law. Ue was paroiea. "Patrick's Day." St. Patrick's day comes once a year.

It brings cheer to every true Irishman's heart. St, Patrick's day will ba celebrated on Monday, the 18th inst. Every true Irish man, and the friends of Ireland will march in the procession on that day. You merchants, bankera, and professional men, don't have any excuse for not turning out on that day. You can afford to lose one day as well as the noble-hearted laborer, and mechanic who Is always ready.

McC. New Hap of tbe United States. A new and complete map of the United States has just been published by Gay lord Watson, of New York, especially suited to the wants of merchants, shippers, bankers, lawyers, etc. It Is on a largs scale, beautifully colored in counties, shows all the railroads with their stations and distances, and all important towns throughout the country. The price of the map is four dollars, and a business man will find that much money well invested if he purchases one.

The general asent will remain here a short time to canvass the city. Lectures In Edgeflcld. Do not forget the lecture on Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress next Tuesday evening at Tulip Street Church. Dr. Summers is perfectly at borne at such work as this, and his lectures, accompanied by beautiful pictures thrown out by the Sciopticon, will amply repay them who may attend.

This is no itinerant show, but the sciopticon and slides are the property of Tulip Street Sunday-school, aud the entertainment is given for their benefit. The Exposition. The work on the addition to the Exposition building is progressing quite rapidly. Four sections have been raised, covered and almost finished, besides six semi-circular joists or rafters have been put on. From present indications, we think the buildings will be completed in a satisfactory style and in ample time to properly arrange the articles for exhibition, and to be ornamented in such manner as the good taste of the managers may dictate.

Masonic Theater. Last night closed the engagement of Miss Ka'e Fisher at Masonic Hall in this city. Her appearance in Nashville has not been as duly appie iated as the many brilliant qualities of this gifted and cultivated actress merit. To-morrow night Mr. Johnny Thompson, the great facial mimic and an engazement at-the Masonic Hall Theater and from the complimentary manuer in which the press of other cities speak of his efforts in this his peculiar branch, we think our citizens will give him crowded houses during his short sojourn here.

His novel and original style is said to be most excellent. Great Excitement. There was considerable excitement created in the city yesterday, and the day before, by the Sheriff informing a large number of our wholesale druggists and liquor dealers, "that they had 'been presented at the last term of the Criminal Court, for failing to take a forgotten oath, prescribed by an unknown statute, not to- sell adulterated liquors. This official information, not only produced a very great excitement among our leading druggists and liquor dealers, hut also eToked in the heat of pas-tion, some very unpleasant cuss" words arout that inethoa of administering the law. We hope that the guardians of the law would take a proper view of the case, and determine that it is not an indictable offense for a private citizen to be ignorant of a law of which the officials themselves know nothing.

The Opera In Nashville. The Mariotti troupe made their debut last evening to a small but brilliant audience. No doubt if the weather wa3 propritious tbe house would have been crowded, from the fact that they have been heralded by good judges in the divine art of music from the cities of taste they have visited already; but we in Nashville have a pride in stating that whenever a meritorious and artistic performance is presented, It Is well sustained. On visiting our old time friend, the OK Theatre, we were not prepared to find it so elegantly fitted up, while we were prepared to see the youth, beauty and fashion of the city present, and desirous of listening to the exquisite musical melange offered by tho troupe. Many of the visitors were rather disappointed at not hearing "Trovatoro" the first night, but before opening the gentlemanly manager, Mr.

Cambridge, informed the audience that, Mr. Mariotti was sick in Evans-vill, and it was impossible for his wife or himself to be present, but in lieu offered the opera of Lucrezia Borgia, by Donizetti. No matter what the opinion of the plot of this opera may be, we must accord a meed of praise to the performers rarely deserved and as rarely received. The magnificence of personal appearance and expensive toilety of Madam Corani, impressed the audience very much, but when the bell tones and rich vibrations of her voice rung forth in the various arias and trios she sang, all were spell-bound. Sig.

Baccei is perhaps one of the best and clearest tenors we have had to visit us in many years, and certainly deserves more praise than we ean accord him in a limited space. Sig. Reina has a full, fine baritone, as his general physical appearance- might suggest, and was more than once encored. In feet we could elaborate on the delights that this musical treat afforded us at much greater length if it were not so late. Wo cannot however close our notice without complimentin; Sig.

C. NicoUo. tho conductor and pianist, who supplied the place of a full orchestra with tho aid of a grand piano, made Baltimore by Knabe, for which our fiiend McClure Is agen. La Traviata will be produced on Monday night, and we have no hesitation in stating that the production will be worthy of our best audience. List of Unmallablo 1-ettern In tho Post Oince.

m. Literary Intelligence. The London Quarterly Review for January has been reprinted the Leonard Scott Publishing Company of New York. The table of contents is as follows: The Drama in England The Life and Writings of John Hooksham Frere The Latest Developments of Literary Poetry The Life and Philosophy of Bishop Berkeley The Bank of England and the Money Market Foreter's Life of Dickens A Key to the Narrative of the Four Gospels Sir Henry Holland's Recollections Marco Polo, and Travels in His Footsteps Primary Education in Ireland The Proletariat on False Scent. From th's table it will be seen that the January number contains an unusually interesting variety of literary information.

The biographical reviews are admirable condensations from larger volumes, with a vein of comment running through them which never permits the Interest of the reader to flag. The semi-political articles are tinged wiih Toreyism, but are neverthe less very readable, and deal with the British topics of the day in a fair spirit. Fine Arts, a journal of the polite world, is a new magazine, the first number of which has been published at New York. It opens up a new field in our periodical literature, and promises to culavate it thoroughly. It differs from Demorest'a, Godey, Frank Leslie's, and the Bazar, in devoting little or no space to changes in fashions and it is unlike all other maga-zins, from the fact that it is wholly occupied with subjects which have hitherto, unfortu nately, been considered of secondary importance.

The editors of the new journal are Laura Keene and Emma Webb Xivert, whose names alone are sufficient guarantee for its future success. The articles in the first issue are admirable specimens of a graceful, yet nervous, feminine style of writing. The typography of the magazine is very neat and clear, and the paper is of tbe finest quality. The illustrations are wood engravings, and hardly in keeping with tho general excellence of the journal.

From Umatilla county we hear of tho los3 of five hundred sheep in one instance and nine hundred in another, but no considerable fatality among cattle and horses.

Iu this valley we hear of the loss of large numbers of sheep on the Touchet, aud the loss of smaller lots in different parts of the country. Of horned stock the loss is comparatively limited, although we ate told that if the bad weather contiuues for a few days longer the loss will be great. A great many cattle are reported weak and tottering, aud a continuance of tho bad weather will find these dying by hundreds. In many localities we learn that there is great scarcity of water for cattle, and much of the suffering and ill-condition is attributed to this cause. All mothers who think they enjoy the personal acquaintance of their sons had better take a good square look at them if they wish to bo able to distinguish them from butchers in the near future.

Lady Tichborne swore on her dying bed that Arthur Orton was her son, and now the swindler acknowledges that he never saw her before the day when she recognized him as her long-lost Roger. A soi.DiEit who was an inveterate joker and punster, having had his nose, left cheek and a portion of his chin carried away by a shot, in the battle of Shiloh, was asked hy some of his comrades if they could do anything for him: "Boys," said he, speaking as well as he could in his mangled condition, "I should like a drink of water mighty well, if I only had the face to aik for it." The venenible virtue of early rising, which has been so long recommended by the sweet singing of the birds, is lately receiving severe scientific knocks. It seems now to be the general opinion of the doctors that children should be permitted to sleep about as long as they please in tho morning; and that jumping snddenly out of bed at daylight Is bad for the health. The Massachusetts Legislative Committee on Labor having under consideration a ten-hour law, was told by Mr. Lorenzo Lawton, of the great manufacturing city of Fall River, that "the girls of the poor man ought lo lie in bod in the morning and snooze and stretch and grow, just as the daughters of the rich man do." Should this doctrine be finally established, a great number of excellent proverbs and nice didactic anecdotes will become entirely useless.

A handsome young, woman, an alleged widow, Is Enoch-Ardening New York with success. She gets a man to engage to marry her and settle on her In advance so much money, then her first husband rashes in with a long beard and a revolver, and that is the last Philip Ray ever sees of the widow and tbe settlement. ST. PATRICK'S 3AY. Tho Festival ef Irelaad's Patron Saint, An Irishman carries his heart ln.hU hand It flows like the water that circles hU land: It beams in, his eye, and there's nought so sincere, As an Irishman's an Irishman's tear.

Let the Spaniard exult in his mines of Pern, The kU where his golrt and Ills miseries grew, Far nobler the mines of anJrishman's breast; The coin of the $oul, with God's imago Imprest To his God and his country he nobly adheres, Though he combats in shackles, and worships In tears, And nations rely in the night of alarm, On tho Irishman's faith, and the Irishman's arm. Oppression in vain would Ids spirit subdue, 'Tis clastic as air and as piety true From the tomb of her Emmttt shall freedom ascend, And his dirgo with tho pasan of victory blend. Though genius emblazon tho yoke that it wears, As bright as tho belt of the heavenly spheres, That yoke will be burst, as the lion his toll, And vanquish the tyrants, and rescue the spoil. Till liberty welcome the wanderer home, Hiberxia. thy children In exile may roam Still the light of their path be the star of the West, To reveal the asylum of virtue opprest To day, from a thousand altars are ascending praises to the Most High, and the solemn chants that resound from as many choirs, are taken up by millions of voices around the extended circumference, until the choruses of religious music are blended with the melody of national song.

To-day the sons of Erin meet and rejoice in every land; to-day they hunt the shamrock beneath the snows of the Arctic and under the sands of the Equator; to-day they flaunt their immortal Green, which proudly waves in every land and upon every sea, beside the colors of every power. Tis day, in fact, is commemorated and revered by the Irish people all over the habitable globe, wherever a few of them or their descendants are gathered together. In the far off Islands of Oceanica, in the pampas of South America, on the slopes of the Pacific, on the plains of the West, In the cities of the East and North, in the Canadas, nd in our own sunny land of the South, from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof, there are exiled hearts to-day which feel and lips which exdaim with fervor and devotion, God bless and God save our Ireland. The recurrence of this day calls to mind the historic interest of that beautiful island, literally, as it is figuratively called, the "brightest gem of the ocean," and surely no intelligent man or woman will allow it to pass without casting a respectful glattce at the fair page which Ireland occupies in earlier history as a foster bed of art and science, when they were unknown or almost in the nations of the old world. Ireland had a literature, and a good one, when the Anglo-Saxons were still in the darkness of heathenism, and tbe museums of England exhibit abundant evidences of her proficiency iu handicraft when other Northern European countries had nothing to show hut the rudest Implements.

On this day, too, memory carries back the Irish heart to t.ne olu land the thatched roof in the lane, th chapel on the hill, the babbling brooks meandering to tbe sea, the green, sweet-scented meadows of long ago, where the lark carolled his matin songs in the deep blue sky of Erin the ruins of abbeys, castlts and rounu towers, which tell the story of Ireland's faith, Ireland's civilization, and her prowess as a nation. See, the banners are floating, and music Is sound-Inir. And the harp on its green field shows bright in the light, Becalllng past hours by the seashore and deep glen, Ere cares cast their shadings, or partings tholr ungnt; But distance nor time can efface the afiectlon. Which loved Ireland claims from her wander ers so eav. And wide spreading waves tipped with foam like tue sun cloud, But unite souls in thought on St.

Patrick's Bay. Mavourneen each child sings from thee wa are parted, iiu uur iuvu cous uitxj lanu oi our uuiu, Fairest spot, beauteous island, our childhood's protector, To-dav we return to the homestead and hearth. We visit the graves where the loved ones are rest- ingi The groves where the blue bell hides fairy and lay. And we search for the "four-leaved," while lauguier resounaein, And we sing dear old tunes, on St. Patrick's Day.

We visit thy round towers, and ruined old abbevs, Mementoes, though sad, of thy past glor'ys sheen, Scoop the water from springs in tho meadows and listen To tho chant of the wild birds 'niong Ivy so green. Yet while our thoughts bring to our eyes the salt tear drops, We wilfully dash the intruders away, And fill up the wine cup, and pledge with affection, Old Ireland, Our Girls, and St Patrick's Day. Our readers, or most of them, are familiar with the traditions of St. Patrick, ne is recognized as the Patuon Saint of Ireland, and was born according to the best authorities near the site of Kilpatrick at the mouth of the Clyde in Scotland in 372, and died in Ulster in the year 464. At the age of 16 he was carried captive to Irelana by a band of marauders, but made his escape after six months and reached Scotland.

Carried eff a second time and again escaping, he resolved to become a missionary to the Irish, and after a long preparation was ordained a Bishop. He passed over to his chosen field of labor about 432, and preached with such extraordinary effect that, althouga not absolutely the first who introduced Christianity into that country, he always received the credit for its general conversion. He baptized tbe Kings of Dublin and Munster, and the seven sons of the King of Con-naught, with the greater part of their subjects, and before his death had converted almost the whole Island to tbe faith. St. Patrick's Day fdlliug on Sunday this year, to-morrow has been set apart as the most appropriate for its observance as a festival, aud the different Irish Societies have made extensive preparations for the celebration, the procession will bo formed on the Public Square at fifteen minutes before 9 o'clock and march through the principal streets of the city.

M. McKeon is Grand Marshal, with Philip Olwill, M. McCor-mack, Hugh Heveran, M. Egan, Philip Brien, W. Davis, John Hanley and J.

Every now and then a scientific opinion, upon which the world has long acted, is attacked by somebody who undertakes to show that it is not scientific at all.

An English physician now declares that hard water is better than soft, in proof of which he adduces the fact that the best specimens of the English race are to be found in hard water districts, and shows that the general death rate in England is lowest where the water is hardest, and highest whero it Is softest. WHAT SOME WEDDING PRESENTS ARE WORTH. A New York correspondent of the Utlca Observer writes thus It is said of weddings; that an ingenious method of making bridal presents has been discovered, and one fair bride, at least, has been enlightened, regarding the tricks and the manners" of wedding guests. A newly made wife, having had a multiplicity of costly salvers given her on her wedding day, claimed the privilege usually accorded the recipient of such favors of exchanging whatever duplicates she might possess for something in which she stood in greater need. With this eud in view, she repaired to Tiffany's one day with a duplicate salver and made known her wish to exchange it.

What was her surprise, however, to see the shopman glance suspiciously at the articlo and deny that it had ever been purchased at that establishment. "Where did it come from, then?" the lady somewliat indignantly asked. "Doubtless from some dollar Btore, madam," was the candid reply. It was in vain tho lady asserted that such could not be the case in vain that she called the shopman's attention to the elegant case bearing Tiffany's own trade mark. "That makes no difference, madame," was the reply.

"There is a great demand for our empty cases this season, and this is probably the use to which they were put. A salver like that can be purchased for a few dollars on any of the avenues; whereas, were it the genuine article, it would cost a hundred, and the donor fancies he has all tho.creditpf a bona fide gilt, if it is sent in one of our cases." The bride probably left Tiffany's ja sadder and wiser woman, and It is equally probable that another "wedding guest" was shortly made to "beat his 5reast" with mortification and chagrin.

Cover him over While he is lying fast asleep: Bed leaves, dead leaves, cover him over While he is lying under the tree, 'Where he came a-courting me'l Leslie Lyon, he was my lover! Out of his hand so scarred and brown, Ee gave me his sword when the war was over, And for my love's sake, twisted it down Twisted it under, and twisted it over, And gave It back in the shape of a crown Old leaves, cold leaves, drop from the tree, And bury him where ho courted mcl Twenty songs about my lover, All as sweet as a lullaby, Made I when our love was over Oh, that love should ever die! And, as the child strings leaves of clover And leaves of roses, so do I String my love songs under tho. tree, Where he came a-courting Leslie Lyon, he was my lover.

And is as false as false can be; Fall and cover him over and over, Where he Is lying under the tree.

"Well, Aunt Je-rusha, it was talked of, but I found out that the girl and all her folk3 were opposed to it. and I just cive 'em all the mitten and let the ming arop." A particularly funny wedding occurred lately in Maryland. The bridegroom, at the last moment, lost courage, and appeared not, but he was soon hunted and dragged to the sacrifice. The bride then took a notion to be offended at his apparent reluctance, and refused to be joined in the holy bonds with such a coward.

Thereupon he b2ame all eagerness, and the influence of the minister and threats of the Sheriff were brought into requisition to induce the lady to come to terms. She finally submitted, and the two were made one. They will get used to each other in time. An Evansville orator "retires with the grace of a twenty-horse power thrashing machine."

W. Williams, deceased. Ffdebal Court. The court concluded the business before it and adjourned. The rand Jury presented the following ad dress: Hon.

C. F. Trigg, Presiding Judge of the United states jjismct uoun oi Aennessee: Dear Sin Having just passed through the te dium of a patient, and, we think, faithful per formance of the duties incumbent upon us as Grand Jurors for not only the regular, but also the adjourned term just ended, of the United States District Court lor the Middle District of Tennessee, and coming, as we do, as well as representing every grade of political sentiment common to this people and country, we dem it proper to present this as testimony of the fact that peace and quiet pervades this division of tho State. We feel this statement more Incumbent on us, in view of the fact that much has been said abroad, throueh the press and otherwise, calcu lated to create a different impression ujon the public mind. Having Deen, oy virtue oi our ram oi omce, constituted, for the time being, vigils of the public peace, and specially charged by your Honor, with the investigation of such Infractions or the law as had coma under our own observation, and such as might be brought to our knowledge through the legally constituted channels, and having at our command the aid of willing and efficient officers to execute every process of the Court, we feel that an opportunity has been offered and a faithful effort made to know whereof we speak.

It is worthy of remark that the peace and qniet of this section of the country now, will compare favorably with any former period of Its history, notwithstanding the sad upturning of social elements, which, of necessity, follows such civil strife as for four years so recently raged in our country, and which, from force of circumstances, made this locality one of the chief theatres of operation. As lovers of peace and good order, and as citizens who have tch with interest and anxiety the various phases presented by a people emerging from a dangerous struggle in which the bitterness of fratriciiial strife was Uo often written In blood, wo feel that much or the pretent quiet, as well the increase of fraternal kindness among this people, is due to the firm and even hand with which your Honor has, In these precarious times, held the siales of justice. Turning neither to the right nor to the left, neither yielding to that temptation to oppress, which too often accompanies judicial power, nortoo leniently execute a trust reposed in vou by the National Government, you have gone right on in tho pursuit of duty, exerting a salutarv Influence within the borders of our State, until good effects are seen and felt bv all classes of our people, which Is acknowledged to be largely attributable to your course as a Judicial representative of the Government ot the United States. It is a part of the publ lc history of the perilous times through which tho people of this State have been passing for the last few years (and wo claim the on an occasion line this, to reier to that while you maintained the Government in all its rights with firmness and dignity, you protected the citizen, regardless ot race or color, personal or political status, with equal tenacity, and have thus contributed, in no irnall degree, to the present peace and quiet of this State. Thanking you for all this, as well as for the uniform courtesy In your bearing towards us while thus associated, and through you, thanking officers of your court for their promptness and efficiency In the discharge of their duties to us, as Grand Jurors, during our service of near two months, we respectfully ask that this be received, entered upon the records of the court and published as a testimonial from us.
