FRANK BLAIR.

will not speak unkindly of my
friend, Frank Blair. | don't know
whom pity most; Frank Blair for
being in company with these fellows,
or them for being in company with
him. Laughter.
My opinion is that if Frank gives
their family as much trouble as he
gave ours, they will get tired Of him
very soon. Restless, ambitious, i'm
patient of restraint, he has gone into
the Democratic party, and they have
paid-or they have given him
what should regard--what he re-
gards--a very liberal reward.
Frank Blair was put in nomination
by William c. Preston, of Kentucky
and you remember that he was q
Brigadier General in the rebel army.
His nomination was seconded by
Reed. The call of States was con-
tinued for nominations for the Vice
Presidency. Illinois-mark that, H.
linoisans--I Illinois presented the name
of John A. McClernand, compeer
that is a man who lived at the same
time la compeer of Clay and Web
ster. And 1 believe McClernand is
like Clay and Webster in that re.
spect. Great applause. He lived
at the same time. He was the dis
tinguished General Of the late wal
whose brain conceived the capture
Of Vicksburg. The whole credit o
that achievement was given to ;
much inferior man! That inferior
man was Grant [shouts of laughter.

Pendleton was sold for "blood mon

paid out to buy delegates away
from Pendleton between the 1st and
4th of July" 1t says that wine and
women as well as money, were used
to seduce delegates from their allie
glance, and adds that "the fight in
New York was between men of mo-
ney and men of principle. The re-
suit shows that the men of money
came cut ahead"

of his rebel Democratic friend. that
YOU had none but rebels in your Ma

him during the war.
Col. Ashbel Smith, of Texas, also
seconded the nomination. Other reb.

Why? Because Frank Blair was the
choice of the rebels in that Conven-

them excellent reasons for preferring
him.

A Card 10 the PnbIIc.

The receipt that l have for manufacture
ing the Biscuit Glacie is from New Orleans,
and not imported from France or from Mr.
Fortori, at Paris, for | have no doubt that
there are great many ladies and gentl emen
in Nashville that know that the Biscuit
Glacie was first invented in New Orleans, at
Mr.. Nencine's, on the corner Of Canal and
Burgundy streets. Although l am a native
of France, | must confess that France was
behind that time. Mr.. Nencine made for
tune with his Biscuit Glacie before he wOuld
sell the receipt, and it was from that other
parties tried 70 counterfeit it by making
the cusiard cream and freezing it 10
freezer. Now, | will give you the receipt
how TO make the custard cream: take !
quarts of pure cream, the yOlk of IL eggs,
II pounds of pulverlzed sugar, / of an
ounce Of isinglass, and one table spoonful
of corn starch, and then beat the above
well and put it on the fire until it boils,
and then freeze it, and then put il in small
boxes put some Jelly on the top to hide
the color, OF else the buyer would find out
that it had eggs in it and it would not be
genuine. The genuine Biscuit Glacie is as
white as snow and ornamental like fine
cake; the huiscuit itself is spongy it has a
grain and 1t looks like white sponge candy
1t is'put up in a paper box. Having sold
about eight hundred already, in three days,
parties can Judge for themselves. can get
over fifty signatures of persons who have
eat it in New Orleans and New York, and
say that have the only genuine in the
city, and that can he carried to any part
OF the city. L. OLANNE,

The GREAT EDUCATIONAL MEETING
From various sources we learn that much
interest is manifested in the meeting of the
National Teachers Association, to be held
in this city during the present month. The
Great Western, the Pennsylvania Central,
the Virginia, and other railroads, have
given half fare to and from Nashville.
Many of the most distinguished educators
in the country will take part in the exer-
cises. The sessions will be held in the
Capitol, commencing on Wednesday, Aug.
10, and continue three days. Preliminary to
this meeting, that of the National Associa-
ton of School Superintendent takes place
Monday evening, and that of the Ameri-
can Normal School Association on Tues
day evening. The State Teachers Associa-
ton will also hold its fourth annual meeting
on Monday and Tuesday. During these
various meetings the entire range of educa-
tiOnal topics will be touched The sessions
will be opened to the public, and our citi-
zens will thus have an opportunity of in
forming themselves as to the latest views
upon subject which with government and
religion still occupies and divides the
ablest, the best Of men. In order that the
prOverbial reputation of our gOOdly city
for hospitality and courtesy may not suffer
loss on this occasion, the following gentle
men have been urged and have consented
to serve as a Citizens Committee of Wei
come, namely: Ex-Gov. Neill S. Brown,
Chairman Gen. George B. Nancy, r. j.
Cheatham, Esq, DIR. j. w. Hoyte and Dr.
j. b. Lindsey.
Through the kindness of John OVerton,
No. "A Maxwell House, has been secured
as committee headquarters. Throughout
the next fortnight members of the commit
tee will be in attendance at this centrally
located room, to furnish all required infor-
nation to our citizens, and To receive all
prohered aid. The hotels Of Nashville
have Already responded handsomely to the
wants of the occasion by reducing their
rates one.half to ali delegates. Let us all
take a little holiday this hot summer
sEeaiher from politics and business After
a weeks social and intellectual enjoyment,
we will perhaps be neither so blue nor SO
sanguinary. Any change will be for the
better.
