PRATT,S ASTRAL LAMP OIL.

PRATT'S ASTRAL LAMP OIL.
nRATTS' "ASTRAL" OIL, unlike many
other Illuminating Oils, the "Astral"
Oil is PERFECTLY PURE, and free from
all deliberations Of any kind. 1t emils no
offensive smell while burning, gives a soft
and brilliant light and can be used with
the SAINT assurance ofsafety as gas. Chem
lists pronounce it the BEST and SAFEST
Illuminating Oil ever offered to the public;
and Insurance Companies indorse and urge
upon customers the use Of the "Astrap' Oil
in preference to any other. 1t is nov burn
ed by thousands of families; and in no in
stance has any accident occurred from its
use; a lamp filled with il, if upset and brok-
en-, will not explode. To prevent adultera-
ton the g!Astral' Oil is packed only in the
Guaranty Patent Cans, of one gallon and
FIVE gallons each, and each can is sealed in
a manner that cannot be counterfeited.
Every package with uncut seal we warrant.
Be sure and get none but the genuine ar
ticle Pratts' aAstral" Oil for sale by deal
ers everywhere, and at wholesale and retail
by the proprietors.

THE wAsnIseToS NAVY YARD.
In view ofthe reduction Of force and
tho discharges at the Washington navy
yard we repubIish for general informa-
ton the following extracts from the last
annual report Of the Secretary Of the
Navy in relation TO tho yard here. 1t
looks as though the Washington yard
was being made the experimental ground
for reduction u force and economy, and
against this we protest in the name Of
the scores Of workmen and their families
who were brought here TO labor for the
Government, and who should not be
thrown unnecessarily out Of employ
ment. The recommendations of the
Secretary and what he says Of the yard
in the following extracts we commend TO
all in authority, md ask whether it is
not wrong, to say the least, TO further
neutrality-suspicious., and TO thus injure
yard which is almost necessary TO the
success OF our navy: .. .-.
"Thls Is one OF our old aud necessary
navy yards. II Is situated on Underwater, at
the head Of navigation, and Is further inland,
less accessible TO assault from sea, nearer
tho mountains, and more defcnslblc by fixed
and floating defenccs, and by distractions,
than any Of the above-nnmed navy yards.
IL Il convenient to the supplies OF timber,
iron and coal from Pennsylyanla, Maryland
and the Ylrginias. Tho old "naTy commits
sioners" appreciated aud improyedlt. They
gave New York aud Washington the same
number Of ship-houses. ......,
The proposed extension, on each side,
amounting to sixty.six acres, can be made
now TO great public advantage, and for
moderate price. 1t Is most earnestly recon-
mended that this Be done without delay.
The navy also needs the opposite shore TO
Poplar Point, extending inland TO a depth
convenient for naval purposes.
The capacity Of this yard for buuding, re.
pairing and equippiug vessels, especially for
building aud repairing iron. clads, should be
Improved without delay.
The construction, proof and trial Of ord
nance for tho navy require, and should be
provided with, large, appropriate and sep
arate establishment. This navy yard Is con-
venlent and useful 10 the Navy Department
for many experimental purposes.
The channel OF the Eastern Branch Of the
Potomac, especially In front OF the navy
yard, requires, In consequence Of the ao-
cumulated deposit Of many years, 10 be
made deeper and broader. This can be
readily done. About half Of the fats on the
opposite shore should be 1lled up BY dredg-
ing the channel side Of them.
There are one or two places In the Poto-
mac which can be conveniently improved by
dredging, to the benefit Of commerce, navi-
cation and defence. The pride Of the couu-
try Is high In the capital OF the Union which

The e.reat Lnnd salo To-.lnr,

We presume that everybody viii remem-
Der that the second great sale of lots by
the North Nashville Real Estate Company
comes off to-day. Passing through the
locality yesterday, the prospect of the far
stretching and beautiful plats, clothed in
their spring verdure, with beauteous new
buildings dotting them over, and the tow
ering chimney of the new factory towering
skyward in its completion, and inhaling
the fresh atmosphere, the natural beauty
of the scenery heightened by the hills skirt
ing them beyond, was suffiaently attractive
and inviting to make one visit it without
the incentive of cheap bargains. As some
Of the finest lots belonging to the company
will be offered without reserve to day. of
course all who can viii be present. A
glance at the plot of the grounds is suf-
hcient TO show their ineness and eligi-
bility of location, while it is clear to every
one that the city is growing and expanding
IN that direction as it is IN no other. Those
who wish to secure good homesteads, that
viii steadily and rapidly increase in value,
by looking at the exceedingly liberal terms
proposed by the company, will see that
they will likely neTer again have such an
opportunity for Investment as is now pre-
sented. The North Nashville street cars
will run throughout the day to tho grounds.
and every preparation will be made for the
comfort of bidders and visitors.

APRISON "REMINISCENCES.

We find the following in one of our
exchanges without credit:
We have before us catalogue of the
University of Virginia for 1869 20.
Among the law students is Alexander w.
Hope, of Alton, Illinois. The name re-
calls wildly to our memory lady-his
mother-toward whom we will ever claim
the privilege of cherishing the sentiments
of the profoundest gratitude and admira-
ton. No Confederate who was unfortu-
nate enough to have been immured in
Alton prison during the war, can ever
forget Mrs. DR.. Hope. Born and edu-
Gated North, the wife of an unflinching
| Union man, and sister of q Federal officer
high in rank-Gen. Pope-her warmest
sympathies were nevertheless with the
poor fellow in gray, of whose suf-
| ferings she was but too often a
witness. from the elevated ground upon
which her residence stood, overlooking
the prison walls. Fearless of the risk
she personally ran, undeterred even by
the temporary Imprisonment of DIR. Hope,
who, although a faithful friend of the
Government, was thus Intellectually used
as check upon his heroic wife. She
missed no opportunity, day or night, rain
or shine, cold weather or hot, of sending
us words of cheer, and often more sub
stantial ssaid and comfort" We are
pretty thoroughly RECONSTRUCTED" now,
and the war ended five years ago, but we
hope that such memories are not treason,
and that gratitude is not disloyalty. Her
politics may have been wrong, but her
woman's heart was right God bless her
and all that are within her house.
