At this time, Nashville can boast of one
Of tie most Aourishing schools in the en-
tire South. We refer TO Wards Seminary,
which was established about the close of
the war. From year to year, its patron
age has been gradually increasing, until
now it has scholarship of over two hum
dred and sixty, and between seventy and
eighty Of the young ladies are also board
ers in the institution. Among this large
scholarship, there are representatives from
everV State in the South except South
Carolina.
Nashville should certainly feel proud Of
such an institution. for it is seldom that in
the very short space of time since its in
auguration, a school meets with such
unbounded success. And when we also
take into consideration the fact of 30 many
ably conducted schools in this vicinity, it
seems that this portion of Tennessee is
fortunate in this respect, and that Wards
Seminary is particularly blessed with
popularity,

EDGEFIELD.

A BIC TRADE.-The Edgefeld Bucket
Factory is among The most fourishing
manufacturing establishments in the coun-
try. A large force is employed at the es-
Enlistment, and although constantly at
work, the proprietor is scarcely able 70
supply the demands upon him.
LIVELY CoMPETITIoN.-There are now
two omnibus lines connecting Nashville
and Edgefeld. A little strange TO say, both
buses run on the same schedule time. II
one would change the hour of leaving, 90
that there would be conveyance at least
every hour, we think that both would do a
more profitable business, and The public be
better accommodated.
In SEARCH OF GRoUNDs.-We UNDER
stand that the representatives of an extern
Give manufacturing company from the
North, have recently been prospecting
through Edgefield for site, and they are
strongly impressed with the fact that the
bottom lands ON the river, extending from
the Suspension Bridge South TO the Bucket
Factory, is the best location to be had.
They are right. There is no place in the
country better adapted for the erection of a
manufacturing establishment, and we hope
soon TO hear Of preparations 10 settle and
raise steam on that land.
ABSENT. Hon. Geo. j. Stubble6eid, At
torney General for this district, and Al
derman for Edge6eld, is absent from the
city, attending court at McMinnville. The
NelU Era ofthat place, says ths. he is APP
parently no older than when he was ter
ror to evil-doers before the bar of that
place.
DELEGATES OF THE SEAsoN.-Turnip
greens have made their appearance in the
Edgefeld market, and are meeting with q
big sale. They are as acceptable TO the
people as a slice OF the school fund was
10 old Mullins.
The CHAMPION GAME.-After several
days discussion, and good deal of play
ing, the medal was yesterday awarded to
the champion draft player, citizen of the
settlement known as Big Richmond, close
to the Little Boston boundary line.
FLoURsHING.-Thed different schools Of
Edgefeld are in Aourishing condition,
having opened the present week with a
largely increased scholarship.

One of the most attractive places in
Paris and where music and dancing and
every other kind of amusements imaginable
are carried on is the famous Champ
EIysees. Here intersperssd among the
trees, flowers, fountains with spouting
6olphins, and allegorical figures, thousands
of amusements Of every diversion are to be
seen. First on entering from the Place de
la Concorde will be observed-on each
side of the grand avenue - brilliantly
lig hted gardens; these are known as Cafes
Chantants. We enter one. Groups of
people are already seated at the little
round table, where we join them and dissi-
pate half an hour and listen 10 the gems
of the best operas and some Of the best vo-
calists of Paris with full orchestra. At
the end of the garden is a gay pavilion,
splendidly fitted up, in which are seated
ladies in elegant toilettes, the prima donnas
of this AL fresco music saloon. We notice
magnificent boquets held in the hands of
these lady singers-the gifts of admirers
who hope for favors from the fair goddess
after che descends from the Temple of
Music. The boquet is usually the me-
dunn by which the would-be lover makes
his modest proposal If retained by the
lady il is a sign that the aspirant is the
happy one.

Something Wrong.

About the hour of adjournment yester-
day afternoon, it was by no means difficult
matter for even a careless observer in the
House to notice the fact that things We're
not altogether lovely" with the grave
and reverend makers of the law. Aside
from what displeased looks and uneasy
whisperings indicated, the very air was
thick with ghostly glesnings Of impeach-
ments and expulsions, and heavy with the
odors of Indifferent tobacco. Members and
spectators alike looked as though they felt
"the times were sadly out of joint" and
no healing appliances within easy reach.

Tee McMinnville New Era has the fol-
lowing in regard to the growing wheat
crop:
We have seen quite a number of the
wheat fields in our county, and the plant
presents an encouraging prospect. The
plants are not SO lengthy as We have seen
at this season of the year, bat they present
an unusually healthy appearance, and have
"stooled' remarkably well-more Particu-
larly the early sowing. We also learn
that the prospect is fine in number of our
upper counties. The wheat crop of the
present year received more attention in the
putting in" than was ever before bestowed
upon the crop, and we are satisfied our
farmers will find their pay for the extra
labor when the harvest comes.
