A HINTTO THE DIRECTORY OF
THE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIA-
TION.

To the Editors of the Union and American.
The following suggestions are earnestly
and confdentially addressed to the Di-
rectory of the Agricultural Association as
the basis of instructions to be given to the
awarding committee on aged blood horses
and mares What constitutes the value of
such animals in the judgment and appre-
citation Of the most enlightened and expe-
rienced turfmen of the land? 1t viii be
agreed without discussion the value is
made up of the following items: The per-
f0TmdBce Of the get or produce, the per-
Torrance the horse or IpaTe exhibited, the
pedigree Of the same. Let a numerical
value be attached TO each of the above
items as a guide for Judges in making up
their estimate of merit For example:
l. Let the performance of the get or
| produce be valued at........................ )
=. The performance of the horse or
mare exhibited t
3. Pedigree ....................... 3
(. Mechanism of animal exhibited. 9
This will give the need of merit to the
animal footing mp the greatest aggregate
after a careful estimate of the foregoing
| items of value. OLD THURMAN.

The Weather.

The weather is delightful, being such
glorious autumnal days of Indian summer,
with bracing mornings, genial sunshine and
moonlight nights, as are known alone in
the Middle States, and which are especially
peculiar to Middle Tennessee. With a con-
tinuanee of the present glorious weather,
all the high anticipations of our State fair
and turf week will be more than realized.

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.
Who ShaIISucceed MIR. Fowler
i'm the Senate?
Views Of Correspondents and
the Press.
WHAT SHALL WE DO?

| To the Editors of the Union and American:
In the contest for Senator, now so un.
happily raging, at Nashville, 1 hope q
word from real personal and political
| friend of Mr. Etheridge, will not be amiss.
In the first place for what purpose do we
want g Senator Just now? Is it for the
purpose of securing friendly legislation for
the great Conservative element of the
South? Perhaps that may be the ultimate
object, but with Congress and the Senate
as it now stands it is utter foolishness to
think of accomplishing anything ofthe kind.
Neither Etheridge, johnson, Brown, Pey-
ton, Cooper nor any one of their class can
effect anything by way of legislation at
present. This will be conceded by all
candid readers, and observers. If this
thing can not be done, then what is the
next best thing to attempt? The only
remaining thing to be done is by
way of discussion, in exposing
the rank corruptions of the Radical party
in Congress, laying bare to the public gaze
the enormous swindling schemes by which
they have plundered the peoples treasury
and enriched themselves. 1t may be said
with truth that Mr. Etheridge, being one of
Tennessee's most gifted orators, could
Sl'edh Ou lLlS SuDJCCb WIN a. AluCA hOSuAdCy
and more luently and eloquently than
Johnson If this is conceded, there is still
another and more vital question: Will the
speeches of any man in all the South be
read by as many people North and South
as would the speeches of MIR. johnson? As
a friend to Mr. Etheridge, believing that he
himself would admit that his speeches
would not reach one-fourth the people that
Johnsons would, l must concede that for
this single reason if for no other johnson
can do more effective service than any man
we can send. Johnson's speeches would be
published by not only every Democratic
paper in the Northern States but by the
leading Radical papers, and thus be read
by ten men North where a speech from
any other aspirant would be read or heard
of by one. Ex-President Andrew johnson
in the Senate would do the friends of the
South and constitutional government more
good in that way than any five men the
South can now send there.
Put him there, and the first speech he
would make would be sent by steam and
telegraph to every part of the North, and
even his enemies would read it Just to see
what the man said
There are thousands of men in Tennes-
see who want to make Mr. Etheridge Gov
ernor two years from now, and Johnson
Senator now, and dislike this attack that
is being made on johnson by Mr.. Els
friends These are the notions of a

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

We clip the following from the Knox
vile Press and Herald of the 10Th:
The non-receipt of the Western mail on
Wednesday was caused by an accident at
Carpenters on the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga railroad, on the east side of Lookout
mountain. The night was exceedingly
foggy and the train, running in four sec
tons, required the exercise of the utmost
care by the engingeers and brakemen. Not
withstanding the caution of the employees
an engineer of one of the sections ran his
engine into the rear of the train in front
The engine was overturned, and the engi-
neer and fireman badly sealded and bruised.
No injuries were sustained by the passen-
gers. The wreck was removed by morn
ing and the train proceeded to Chattanooga.

PHYsIoGNOMY.

The science of physioguomy is not new
thing. Aristotle anticipated it to quite an
extent. Some of his observations in regard
to it, which are curious, if not especially
valuable, may be thus summarized. A thick
neck indicates strong character. well
sized neck, not too thick, shows high mind>
edness long, slender neck, cowardice a
very short one, cunning. The animal types
following these are respectively the lion, the
stag and the wolf. Thin lips, loose at the
ends, and the upper overlapping, also show
high,mindedness and this, too, belongs to
the leonine type, and TO that of high.spirited
dogs. Thick lips, the upper projecting,
show folly, and belong to the type of the
ass and the monkey. People with project-
ing upper lips and prominent gums are apt
to be abusive. A nose with thick extremity
shows indolence.the bovine type. An aq-
uline nose, we'll cleared from the forehead.
shows high -mindedness. The same indica-
tion is afforded by round nose fattened at
the end A nose turning up rapidly from
the forehead shows inpudence. Nostrils
wide open show passionate character.
Flesby faces show Incidence and coward
ice; lean faces diligence; little faces, small>
mindedness; large faces, slowness and stu
pidity. If there are baggy formations about
the eyes, the subject is full of drink. Little
eyes are sign of little mind great or
prominent eyes, of stupidity; concave eyes
of mischievous disposition. As to their
color, very black eyes show cowardice, as al
SO gray and pale colored eyes; those of the
blonde type, and bright cleaning eyes indi>
cate courage; glitlering eyes, sensual char
acter. The forehead if little, shows inapti-
tude to learning if very large, stupidity;
if round, insensibility; if ifSymmetrical, high.
miudedness; if heavy and projecting, self,
will.
A large head shows insensibility; little
head, lively perception; peaked head i'm
pudence. Little ears belong to the monkey
tribe, and great ears belong to the donkey.
Even the best kinds of dogs have moderate
sized ears. As to complexion, very dark
persons are cowardly The blonde complex
ion shows courage the red, cunning the
sanguine, passionate character the color
resembling honey, coldness of disposition.
Eyebrows drawn down toward the nose, and
up toward the forehead, indicate Stiffness /;
hair raising straight from the head, coward
ice (arguing from the effect Of extreme fear
in causing the hair to bristle,) so, too, does
very crisp hair. Prominence of the forehead,
near the head, generosity, (the leonine type);
hair growing on the forehead near the nose
shows meaDness.
