Virginia Springs.

The Montgomery White Sulphur
Springs were opened on the LIST of June
Before the war this was the most popular
watering place in Virginia. Its situation
in Southwestern Virginia on the Eastern
slope Of the Alleghanies, gives it beautiful
scenery, a healthful climate, and pure
bracing air. Messrs Wilson & Lorentz,
two enterprising Virginians, have leased
il for a term of five years, have thoroughly
repaired, newly furnished, and will open
it on a scale surprising its former gram
deur. Visitors TO this place travel the
entire distance by Rail. Getting off at
Big Tunnel Station, on the Virginia and
Tennessee Railroad, they are conveyed
into the Reception House in leu minutes
on the Springs Branch Railroad. New
Baths, Billiard and Bowling Saloons, have
been erected for the comfort and smuse-
ment of visitors. Post Office, Telegraph,
Express and Ticket-Offices are on the
premises. Daily lines of stages will run
to the Greenbrier White, on rout
through the widest scenery in Virginia
Travellers between points North and South
will find this a most delightful resting
place. The fare hes peen reduced to the
moderate price of So per day, $40 per week
and $40 per month, giving the privilege
special rates 10 larger parties for longer
time.

Going Abroad

The advertisement that the household
effects of distinguished female resident of
this city would, yesterday, be sold at the
residence of the Owner, on North Vine
street. drew to the place designated quite
a crowd Of citizens, most of whom were
in search Of bargains. The greater part of
the property sold, embracing carpets, mir
rors, paintings, window curtains, furniture,
etc, had been but little used, and being of
the finest quality and modern styles.

Golden liIy of Japan.

The most magnificent specimen OF the
LiEum Auratum which has ever bloomed
in Nashville since il became known here
can be seen by the public, in all its beauty
and sweetness, at the drug store Of W. D.
Klire for fen days only. Hs
This plant has just lowered in the green
house of an amateur, where the same
genus bloomed last June, of which, some
of our readers, perhaps, saw description
noticed at the time. The enc now left
there for inspection is nearly twice as
large as that alluded to. There are two
large delicately scented flowers upon the
end of small stem or rod about three
feet high, each ten inches in diameter,
with six spreading, somewhat crisp petals
having pure, snow-White complexion,
the whole srtistically dotted with purplish
brown spots. A delicate, light satin yell
low stripe upon the centre of each part re-
lieves the prominent stains upon the al
most fairy-like view presented by this
dazzling picture.
1t is said that if you place the flower in
a position where side light is cut off and
no direct light can reach it, except from
above, these stripes resemble gentle stream
lets Of Australian gold. A full grown
bulb will produce from ten to twenty
blooms.
As many as ten thousand people saw il
at South Kensington. 1t was introduced
firm Spain into this country in the year
1860.
The exquisite vanilla like perfume Of
this elegant flower is sufficient to fill a
large room, but yet is so delicate as to
respect the weakest nerves.
The ladies particularly shonld not lose
the opportunity of seeing this beautiful
flower. N.

Nest Ora Hummtnr Bird.

A gentleman who was out fishing the
other day on the banks of the river, heard
a buzzing noise over his head, and looking
up discovered "a humming bird on the
branches of sycamore tree. Upon exam
ination he noticed nest in small limb
which proved to be a real curiosity. 1t was
constructed not only artistically, but with
the greatest nicely. The nest contained
two small eggs which also attracted his
attention. He cut off the limb and just az

Of Dorch Il HsddoI, where it was seen by

A Lively Chase.

A negro man who lately committed a
burglary in Murfreesboro has been skuIk-
ing about the city for several days past,
trying to avoid the observation of those he
thought might be after him. He was dis
covered yesterday afternoon 10 the south
ern part of the city by Mr.. Riordan, Con-
stable from the thirteenth district, who
had received an order 10 arrest
him. The culprit gave the officer
the slip, and made break for Fort Neg.
ley, or the negro quarters in that locality.
Riordan made quick pursuit, and finally
overlook his game. The negro resisted,
and two other negroes helped him 10 re.
sist. The officer being at the time I'M
armed, except with his commission of Of
fetal authority, summoned assistance, but
it was not readily given. Mr.. Haslam
finally came to his aid, aud the three ne
groes were arrested, but afterwards got
away from their csptors. The burglar
was retaken at a later hour 10 the eve
ming, and warrants issued for the arrest of
the two who resisted the officer.
