The Capitol Grounds.

Shall the Capitol grounds be improved
and beautifed, or allowed still longer to
remain in their present rugged, barren
and unfenced condition, is among the ques-
tons presented for the consideration Of the
Tennessee Legislature. The necessary i'm
provements could soon be made, and at
small cost to the State. As a matter of
economy, the greater part of the work re-
quired would be done by inmates of the
Penitentiary, many of whom are now idle,
because there is not work sufficient to keep
them employed. An act providing for the
improvement of the Capitol grounds was
introduced in the Legislature few weeks
ago, and referred to the Committee on
Public Buildings. The Committee has not
yet reported action on the subject, but it is
hoped they Will be able to DO SO at an
early day, and that the General Assembly
may give the matter the attention its pres
ent prospective Importance deserves.

the Medical College last night. The audi
ence was not large. The address was
delivered by Dr. jerome Cochran of Mo
bile. 1t occupied about one hour and
presented mastery discussion of the great
underlying principles of philosophy and
religion In ezpounding these primary
truths of speculation, the learned Doctor
gave a clear and incisiye criticism Of the
characteristics Of modern thought in the
domains of science and philosophy. The
address was full of the grandest thought,
the most precious truths, and the most
comprehensive cancellations Addresses
on such occasions seldom move on SO high
plan of thought.

noted, will take place tonight, in the hall
