Sensible Suggestions.

! We take pleasure in calling attention to
the communication which follows. The
suggestions are worthy of consideration,
and we hope that what has been written
upon the subject will enlist the sympathies
and aid of our community at large:
To the Editors of the Union and American:
see by the morning papers that steps
have been taken to re establish Mr. S. E.
Jones in business, and thereby save him to
the community. This is at it should be,
and every enterprising man in Nashville
who has means, will feel disposed to put a
portion of his surplus into Mr.. Jones
hands with or without interest; both as
an acknowledgment of Mr.. Jones euter-
prise and integrity, and as an indication of
their own interest in the welfare of the
city, whose future is SO dependent upon
manufacturers. The terrible fire of Satur-
day last, suggests few truisms:
Fires are public as well as private calam-
tiles
Private worth is public capital.
Surplus is wealth. Surplus comes of
producers. Producers build up; consum
ers eGtup.
It is for Nashville to elect whether she
will be built up or be eaten up.
Every ton Of iron for which Nashville
pays $45, if manufactured here, goes out Of
the city worth $50.
A bale of cotton coming into Nashville
worth 800 may go out of the city worth
$1O6, or possibly $94
How many of our wealthy citizens are
willing to make good to Nashville the losses
she sustained on Saturday last by fire? The
interest on fifteen or twenty thousand dol
lars could readily be obtained to advertise
Nashville's advantages as a manufacturing
center, but 1 doubt very much whether to
as good purpose as the mere fact of its be-
ing noised abroad that there was public en-
terprise and spirit enough in Nashville to
protect valuable men from any overwhelm
ing calamity. S. A. NJ.

NOTES FOR LADIES.

1t is considered very vulgar for ladies
to use very strong perfumes in public.
Metal buttons are considered very sty-
lish and pretty when used on dark merino
dresses.
Yellow and red are the two prettiest
contrasting colors for an evening dress
for brunette.
Jet trimming has come in fashion again,
and is used for trimming bonnets, clOaks
and dresses.
1t is said that in France young ladies,
no matter how rich they may be, have
never but one silk dress at time.
Many ladies who do not like to have
their ears pierced wear small gold wire
behind the ear which clasps it in front,
and holds the earring.
Large gold daggers with jeweled hits,
have come in fashion again for the hair,
and are used to pin the heavy chatelaine
braids together.
The most fashionable fur used next
winter will be chinchillo. Ermine has
gone entirely out of fashion, and is now
only used for opera cloaks.

The Boat Race for the Champion
shiP-BeGIing About Even.
MONTREAL, Sept l5.-Betting on the
championship is about even. Money is
freely offeredon both sides. 1t is estima-
ted that there are fifty thousand strangers
in the city. The race may possibly be
postponed on account of heavy wind.
Result of the Race.
MONTREAL, Sept. -. The interna-
tiOnal b ,at race took place this evening.
The weather was fine with light breeze.
The two crews started at sixteen minutes
past five, at the firing of gun, amid tre-
mendOus cheering The Tyne crew were
naked to the waist; the st. Johns wore
fancy shirts. Both crews dipped oars ST.
multancOuslv. After several sweeping
strokes the Tyne took the lead at one hun
drcf yards. The Tyne seemed to increase
the lead, rowing well, with magnificent
strokes. At a quarter Of a mile the ST.
John drew up a little, but the Tyne put
on a tremendous sport boat, pumping out
.-thc water at every stroke. Ina half mile
the TYNE crew were a length ahead
and gradually creeping forward, and
working like machines. The st. Johns
crew seemed to be rowing a failing race.
On turning the buoy Tyne led by three
lengths, and on the home-stretCh rOwed
at an unparalleled pace, with the precision
of an automatOn, winning the race by six
clear lengths. Time, Al minutes 10
seconds. The winners were received
with wild enthusiasm. The people
seemed mad with excitement.

The musical soiree with which the citi

dOBRGs of the occasion, Mrs. Craig anC
Mrs. Bowen, have regulations well earned
which insure an artistic treat of rich.

Southern city. The former, native Of
Nashville, is especially a Nashville ia
vorite. The latter, though but a lit.
tie while with us, has so charmed and
captivated all by the perfection of her at
tainments, and the rich and exquisite mel,
ody of her voice, that the fond lovers o.
music among our citizens are determined
to make her Nashville's own.

German Patriotic Aid SOciety-Inac.
curacfes i'm Census Returns to be
Corrected.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The German
Patriotic Aid Society yesterday sent by
cable, to Count Bismarck, synopsis OF
their address to the German people, in
which they protest against foreign inter
ference, as tending to rob Germany of
the fruits of their victories, and say that
though Republicans by principle, they
stand by united Germany. They add that
the proclamation of the Republic in Paris,
was merely the necessary consequence of
the German victories and the surrender of
Napoleon.
Marshal Sharpe promises to open his
Office to hear complaints from citizens of
cases of inaccuracy in the taking of the

been made to Senator Morton, and no IN

induce him to leave the country at the

WONDER IT'S TRUE.

A distinguished German Professor re-
Gently announced that if drop of human
blood was placed under a microscope
capable of magnifying 1t twenty millions
of times, it would show all kinds of ami
mails that ever existed, or now exist upon
the earth. In the blood of a healthy
person the animals are quiet, in that of a
sick person they fight. From this he
draws the conclusion that man has within
him all the elements from which the uni
verse was created. He further says that
if dead cat was flung in pond of water
and left to decompose, the drops of water
should show, when under the microscope,
all the animals belonging to the cat
snecies.

dared discuss that subject when
pending, or Mt the time the former
farce was played of on that question
BY three grannies yclept the ''Su-
pre,mc Court Of Iowa"
/ / always believed, and expressed
the opinion, that that unrighteous
,edict, repeating Legislative enact
'ment, never would stand rs the law
OF Iowa, and for the honor of the
State It ought TO be "expunged."
You will remember that my commu-
nications were In perfect union with,
