Every two weeks he preaches in the Presby terian Church of thbdiy. The lecture waa listened to by a large and attentive audience. The subject of it waa “The Ideal of a Perfect Woman,” as drawn from the last chapter of Proverb*. He com menced by saying thb waa an inspired por trait of woman perfect hi all its part*, and :b Samnel’s mother commended to her Iriou* son—a portrait which b profound ly philosophical, bat not obscure; emi nently practical, bat not coarse; exquis itely betutifal without any of the tinsel touches of romance That the first feature in the opening picture b pore and ’‘filed femininity.

Various i and projects have been suggested look tag to present relief, a cure; or remedy, ee the cate might be. end all urged with more nr less vigor. The convention waa called for the purpose of considering thb question— issirnura tub eexedt—and of aacer- it possible, the popaltr will lo It was called to meet at Atlanta because it was believed that Geor gia could offer to the crontry a ronto be tween the West and the sea which would not only meet the wants of that section, hot would, at the aarnc time, open wbat b of in finitely greater importance to the future pros perity of the country, the way to a great borne market for our reapectire products. Borne eighteen nr twenty State* were repre sented, and it b gratifying lo ob serve the unanimity of sentiment that prevailed. We look upon the action taken aa highly Important and sig nificant. The meeting was well attended, opeeiaily from the Booth, which had, up to thb time, manifested but little interest in the matter. Among the delegates present were some of the beat mind* in the country. The convention has settled several important points: Pint—tho need of cheaper transpor tation. eecond—that railroads do not and cannot meet our present wants: Third— that transportation by water affords (be surest and only hope of rcIicf,andtaat,butnotIcast ( that the government should aid. In some way, the development of the proposed lines. The action of the body was wonderfully free from party bias or sectional prejudice, and its recommendation* are not only prac tical and common sense, but eminently national and conservative in character. No body can read tho manorial without being struck with the fact that tho convention not only understood the nature of the evil, bat also wen knew the mean* by which relief most come. The proposal b mutual in interest and benefit, and presents a neutral territory upon which East and West, North and Bomb, meet, shake bands and become friends in reality as well as in profession and name. To aceotnplbb any great work requires union at purpose and action, and in the feeling manifested by thb convention, wo believe the patriot will find the beat hope that the bitterness of the put will be forgotten, and that we have taken tho first step in thegrand onward march of material progress. It b true that in one or two instances, where some project of partly local interest was overlooked, the press of that particu lar locality hu pronounced tho a failure, and have endeavored to men so.

A NASHVILLE MEDICAL OriSIOX. The following is a copy of n letter sent Iqr io of our prominent physicians to a Louis ville doctor yesterday, relative to the type of cholera existing ta our midst: We have a malignant form of cholera mor bus ta our city, a species of cholera equally m violent and uncontrotable m it imported from Asia. The di tease made its appearance without any previous warning, in the old lo cality known M the Wilson Spring neigh borhood, a hot bed for all epidemics that reach Nashville. As vet itb not epidemic. Oar city b ta a good condition to diffuac the malaria, but it b mainly con- to the southern portion. Violent vomiting b generally its commence ment, Bonn followed by eopioua liquid evacu ations. fa the first cases that appeared tho matter thrown np contained bile, as also Uie first and second evacuation, but it soon changes to cokntraa rice watery discharges, and after two or three evacuations the pa tient collapses and b urged rapidly to diaso lutiou. fa what we call the collapsed state it'mighfbo termed 'congestive stale. There b not the shrunken skin r the general blucncw, nor the extremely emaciated form of thc cholera subject of I860. I have not witnessed ta the present malignant form or cholera that cadaverous, that pinched-up appearance of an Asiatic cholera corpse. fa almost all of the fatal ca-ra to the 7th instant tho exciting Icauso of Ihe same wm traceable to n hearty meal of new, thu-ycar’s vegetables In a meeting wo compare I notes, and almost every fatal case wm traced back to imprudence of our new veg- tablcs. Hence I still hold out that wc havo a severe ma'ignant form of cholera morbus ta our midst I will here state that when tbe patient h reached ta time, thc disease yields to medical treatment, at least moat of tho cages terminate favorably when taken in time, and thc sequel of tho present form of cholera promises quicker reaction and fewer relapses. I am confident that vegetable provisions thb year are the cause of the early breaking out of thc cholera. I certainly looked for it thb year after the dispersion of the masses from thc Vienna Exposition, but we have a very se vere prelude hero now. Our city to the day of the onset of thb terrible scourge was ex tremely healthy (but excessively filthy.) From late developments wo may look for epidemic dysentery to follow tho track of thc present cholera. J. 8.

Two Men Killed sod Three Proba bly Fatally Wounded. From thc Louisville Commercial wc gather tho following particulars of a tradgey ta Mercer county: “Yesterday afternoon a crowd of some two thousand colored people assembled at Eldorado Meeting House, ta Mercer county, Ky., about twelve miles east of Hsrrodsburg, to attend a bisket meeting. During the service*, about half-past four o’clock ta the afternoon, a family of brothers by the name of Nelson arrived at the church, and a difficulty immediately wm sprung be tween a colored man named Addbon Mack and the Nelson family, which ended ta the killing of two and the mortal killing of throe others at the hands of Addbon Mack alone. It seems that soma three months sinco Ad dison Mack ran off with a colored girl named Sarah Nelson, who ta a sister to the brothers named, and tha parties were marriod accord ing to the present laws of thc United States. Yesterday the parties interested met for tho first time since the marriage. Outside the door of thc meeting bonsr, one of tho broth ers attacked Addbon Hack, and after several insulting epithets htd passed, Black pulled one of his revolvers and shot John Nelson through the bo web ta such a manner that death ensued ta a few minntes.

Wo havo had an eye solely to tho truth, and we hope our efforts have helped to allay tho nervous foci ing that prevailed at tho begtanig of tho week. It most now bo evident to all that tho attempt togetup a cholera scare is a failure. Two things are well ascertained—there boot a cmo of Astatic cholera ta the country, hat there is a predisposition to aggravated attacks of the kindred cholera morbus and of dys entery. And whenever strict sanitary pre cautions are not observed wo may expect to hear of sudden onsets of discaso from this time oa until the frosts of Autumn.

Thc Daily Critic, n sprightly evening pa per of this city, in its issue of last Saturday, contained thc following interesting item of news: 4 A few days since there was shipped from 1 Washington to Long Branch the summer V* house of l’rcsidcnt Grant, three wagon loads 8 of choice U-iwcrs in pots, two rustic settees, and forty barging baskets, which thc keen eye of tho practical observer will miss for some time from thc Botanical Garden. Long Branch ta thc meantime will present to thc Washingtonian thc home attraction of having tho President's garden enchaining hb cottage around with thc array of floral gems and rustic property hercinbeftrc described. Thb b all very nice and doubtless very home like and attractive for thc Picsident and tho few ofllccbolding Washingtonians wbo may accompany him or from time to time visit tho executive mansion by thc sea. But what will tho people who arc taxed to provido theso taxurits say? Thc Botanical Garden b no|mnrc thc private property of tho it than of thc humblest citizen ta tho country.

Trankfixed. Tbe following rare hit is from thc Satur day Evening Post: “We shall never forget that evening wc spent at Magrudcr’s yean ago. Wo admired Bibs Bfagrodcr, and wo went around to sec ber. It wu summer time, and moonlight, and she sat upon tho piazza. The carpenter had been there that day, glue ing up tbe rustic chairs on tho porch, so wo took a scat on tho step ta front of Miss Magrudcr, where wo could gaze into her eyes and drink ta her smiles. It seems probable that tho carpenter must hsvc upset hb glue-pot on the spot where we sat, for alter enjoying Hiss Magru dcr’s remarks for a couple of hours, and drinking several of her smiles, wo tried to rise for tho purposo of going homo; but found that wo were immovably fixed to tho step. Then Mile Magrudcr said: “Don’t bo ta s burry," and wo told her wc believed wo wouldn’t. Thc conversation had a sadder tone after that, and wc sat there thinking whether it would be better to ask Mias Blmgruder to withdraw while wc disrobed and went home ta Highland costume, or whether wc should urge her to warm np thc poker, or whether wc should give one terrific wrench and then ram- bio down tho yard backward. About mid night Miss Blagruder yawned and said she believed she would go to bed. Then wc suddenly asked her if she Bought her father would have any objection to lending us hb front steps a few days, because wo wanted to tako them home for a pattern. Wo think Miss Blagruder must have en tertained doubts of our sanity, for she rushed in, called her father and screamed. Blagruder came down with a double-barreled gnu. Then we explained thc situation in a whisper, and be procured a saw and cat out the piece of step to which wc were attached. Then wo went home wearing thc patch, and before taro o’clock brushed out asr young love for Bibs Magru dcr. Wc never called again, and sho threw herself away on a dry-goods man. There b a melancholy satisfaction in recalling these memories of youth, and reflecting npon tho influence of glue npon thc emotions of thc human heart. ing the confusion outside, arore cn masse, and with n single surge, thc entire building seemed to be vacated, and hundreds of bones were at once mounted, and then it was that the news of the tragedy spread like wild-fire throughout the county.

It b well, says the Courier Journal, that thc moat capable and cunning hand is to write a history of the pivotal period where the decade of virtue and honesty ended and the decade of corrup tion and dishonor commenced. BIr. Tyler Brand, who live* near Logans- villc, hM a large number of “hoc stands” ta his orchard, near his residence. One day last week hb children were playing near the hives. It b supposed that they commenced fighting tbe bees, and the bees commenced stinging the children. They immediately ran off, leaving the youngest, a child about two yean old. Tho cries of thc child attracted tho at Un tion of it* mother, who was at the house rick; she immediately ran to its relief. By thc time Jahc got there the bees were thoroughly infuriated, and tho whole swarm waa pouring oat of thc gum, until nearly every tec had left it.

When she ar rived at the houic, bring very feeble, the fainted, and a neighbor lady, who happened to be on a visit there, fearing that tho child would be stung to {death, picked it up and started towards the woods. Tbe bees seemed determined not to let tho child escape, and followed her, stinging her ao severely that she had to drop the child, when the bees covered it, continuing to sting. B; thb time, BIr. Brand, who wm working in a field near by, heard the cries of Uicchii- dren, and came to their relief. He found the bees still hovering about the child; and, our informant states, hid to rub them off with hb hands. Ho then took tbe child to the house, and went to work to relieve its intense suf- He pulled out a large number of the stings, and washed it with brandy. It had been stung all over the face and head, and even in its mouth and under its tongue. With the kindly assistance of some of the neighbors, who came over as soon m they hear! of it, the sufferings of the child and iu mother were considerably relieved; and both of them will get over It without any te- rious coneequencee.—QtelnneU Herald.
