The state Library.

We take it for granted that citizens OF
Nashville are aware that they have large
State Library but strangers frequently
visit the city, and they will perhaps be
glad to know that this library, ID the capt.
tol building, is open daily, except Sundays,
from A. n. to P. NJ
A urge number of interesting works are
there open for perusal. and during the past
summer the worthy Librarian has added
about fifty interesting TOlu0ss, among
which are five large volumes of Rev. J. G.
Woods Natural History two volumes Of
Goodrich's Illustrated Natural History /;
four volumes of Rowlinson's Herodotus;
Bryant's translation of Homer's Iliad, and
many other valuable and interesting
works, several having been published this
year. There have also been added one or
more volumes received from other States
We will state. fo- the benefit of those
who may never have visited the library,
that many interesting curiosities are to be
seen there, among other things an Egyp-
tian mummy, the musket of Daniel Boone,
swords of distinguished revolutionary Off
GERS, &C., &c. Those who are interested
In suc,. matters will be well repaid for the
time spent II making short visit.

Departed for their Homes.

During the past week there were more
persons 10 our city from other points and
from q distance than there has been for
year or more The annual meeting Of the
stockholders of the Nashville and Decatur
Railroad, and the session of the Grand
Lodge of Masons, both being interesting
events and recurring at the same time
drew together an unusual influx of visitors
and strangers The occasions we're every
way agreeable and pleasant. We had the
pleasure of meeting very many old and
valued friends, and looking upon familiar
faces. Those Of our friends from other
points who had been called together by
the events indicated are part and parcel
of the best population of the land, the very
salt of the earth. 1t is gratifying to state
that the sojourns of those who were among
as were earnestly agreeable TO all con-
cerned. The free commingling of 50 many
citizens together on such occasions goes
far to create and sustain q bond of COM
mon interest between the people Of our
expanding city and those from other points,
Those who vera with Us as well as theiE
families enjoyed the sojourn and we trust
that they all felt profted by their trip.
Our hotels were crowded to excess, yet our
excellent landlords with that accommods-
ting spirit SO characteristic of them, sue
cseded in making all feel comfortable and
at home. The same may be said Of the
boarding houses and our citizens generally
who are proyerbisl for their kindly and
generous Inequalities. We wish all Of our
visit rs pleasant returns 10 their homes,
and trust that many future occasions
may be presented for similar social and
business reunion

nv. Several mutineeTs were killed and
wounded.
The deck of the vessel was strewn with
wounded and dying officers. Theregiment

brethren, and finally succeeded in quelling
the mutiny. The 69th South lincoln
shire regiment has been stationed in Que

CINCINNATI,

Civil RIghts-A Railroad Conductor
Seriously Shot by ODstrePerOus Me-
ErOes.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 1S.-Conductor John
G. Smith, of the down passenger train on
the Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafayette
Railroad, put two negroes off the train
near Greensburg, Ind, on account of one
of them refusing to pay his fare. The
second negro it seems, had agreed to pay
his fare, and was so incensed at being put
off the train that he drew g revolver and
fired twice at the conductor, one ball
taking effect in the hips. They were
finally allowed to come aboard the train
when the same party who had shot the
conductor got IN d difficulty with brake
man and again discharged his pistol, but
without lnfllcting injury. The two were
finally arrested and sent back to Green's
burg. The conductor is seriously though
not dangerously wounded.

FROM SPAIN.
An Quiet for the Nonce.


MADRID, Nov. 1S.-A committee, con-
sisting of fifteen members of the Consti-
tutional Cortes, has been appointed to
proceed to Florence to present the Spanish
crown to the Duke of Aosta. The cleo
ton of Aosta is highly popular through
the provinces. No disorders followed his
proclamation, though the government had
reason to believe that, as the candidate
was unpopular in certain quarters, there
might be demonstrations of disapproval.
The services of troops have not been
necessary anywhere. In all the large
cities cannon were fired in honor of the
event.
At Florence.
FLoREScE, Nov. 16.-The Duke of
Aosta arrived yesterday from Naples, and
was met with enthusiastic vaccinations
of the people. The President of the
Council, the Spanish Minister and other
notables subsequently called on aud con-
graduated him.

TOO DEAR FOR BEAUTY,
The Increasing Habit of Eating
Arsenic for the Complexion.


Arsenic for the Complexion.
Newspapers IN Maine complain that
women even in small towns of that State
have adopted to an alarming extent the
practice of eating arsenic. The object,
as most people know, says the New York
Times, is to give whiteness and clearness
to the complexion, and in some parts of
Continental Europe the habit isvery COM
mon. By gradual increase of the dose,
one may take with impunity, so far as
immediate risk is concerned, enough
arsenic to kill several strong men not &C.
customed to its use. The secret, how
ever, is soon betrayed in the countenances
of the victims to the practice. A deadly
pallor settles upon the face and lips, and
an unnatural brightness steals into the
eye. 1t is said, too, that a person once
firmly attached to its use finds it almost
impossible to give up the fatal practice.
No doubt the custom now so prevalent of
dyeing the hair to the various "blonde"
shades is responsible for the introduc, ion
of this new and perilOus device.
Pearl powder, bismuth, Preparations
of lead, and even corrosive sublimste
itself, are found, we suppose, inadequate
to make the skin of most women, whose
hair is naturally dark, correspond with
The yellow, ruddy and flaxen hues now
nj SO beautiful But it may inter-
tnous--- "-e ON the verge of falling
q prey to this pernlclV,. 'onla Who
that the average age Of PCS "
merely work with arseniOus acid, and uv
not voluntarily take it into the system, Is
less than thirty five years. The expert
ments of Tschudi show that while arsenic
for certain peculiar diseases may be given
in large doses with comparative safety, it
is IN general steadily injurious to the vital
functions, and ultimately destructive.
One CHASTITY evil incidental to its use can
by no means be avoided. 1hisis that the
habit, once thoroughly formed, can only
be relinquished at the expense of vast
ing away of the physical powers. Arsenic
is in this respect worse than opium or al
cohol. If ladies must wear golden hair,
and are bound to have compilations to
match, they ought to depend altogether
on external cosmetics-alwsys including
those hyglenic promoters of roses and
lilies, fresh sir and exercise.

How Alabama was LOst-The Bolt
ers 10 be Punished.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Information
received shows the loss of the Alabama
Legislature to be owing to the boiling of
the Republican tickets run in Mobile,
Baldwin and Madison counties. In Mo-
bile county five boilers ran independents
of the regular nominees, receiving some
1000 votes, just sufficient to defeat the
regular candidates, who had about 4, 900
votes. Had the regular nominees received
the full party vote the Republicans would
have had a majority on joint ballot suffi-
Gent TO have elected a Senator to Con-
gfess 10 succeed Gen. Warner.
This bolt, it is alleged, was under the
auspices of tie Postmaster and the Col
lector of the port of Mobile.
Mr.. Porter, recently appointed Assessor
at Mobile, led the boiling ticket, and his
commission will probably be revoked.
Move TO Make states of New Mexico

A delegation from the prominent Off

Mexico as State into the Union. They
claim that the territory has over 100,0 900
taxable inhabitants, and is fully prepared
for admission. They say that within
yeaf after the s-Continentsl railroad
is completed, and connections made with
the Kansas Pacific, the territory will
have irebled its present population. A
bill for the admission of the territory was
introduced during the last session of Con-
gress, and is now in committee. A SINH
lar bill for Colorado will be given the
preference.

TAKING COLD.

There is no more seasonable time in
the year to take cold than the present; the
facilities are abundant, and, as q conse-
uuence, every other person we meet adj
mits to having taking advantage of the
opportunities furnished. The 1echnOJo-
qiSt condenses the philosophy of taking
cold into few lines, and we give them
for the bensfit of those who would learn
how to avoid the disagreeable complaint.
1t says:
"The human frame was intended for
activity, to run fast and to run slow, but
it must be managed. A locomotive can
run very fast, but if stopped instantane-
ously, when going at highrate of speed,
it is upjointed as badly as if 1t had had
infammatory rheumatism for seven years.
A skillful engineer, however, tones
down his speed gradually, and
in this lies the whole secret
of taking cold. 1t is exposure or care
lessness, after exercise, that brings on
colds. After walking, or running, or
dancing, or any exercise that quickens the
circulation, little current of air from
window, crevice, from an open door for
rev minutes, just 10 CAUSE GILL, Is
sure to produce cold. Merely stopping on
the street in a current of sir-as at 8
corner where the wind breaks or makes
an angle-will do the job. Any sudden
subsistence of active forces of the body
in temperature that chills, will produce
cold. The little common sense that is
needed, and for the lack of exercise of
which so much money Is paid to doctors,
is, preserve an equitable temperature, or,
having exercised freely, recover the pro-
per state gradually without chill. This
| is attained in a simple and easy manner.
After exercise always seek rest in q
sheltered place, where you will be warm,
never being hasty to remove nat, gloves
or cape. Let the perspiration subside be-
fore disrobing, if indoors, and if out
doors, always keep gently moving unit
the usual condition is attained"

a General Thief.

Since the occurrence it has been ascer-
tanned that the negro, Travis, who had the
fierce rencounter with Private Waterman
Skiles, at the Nashville and Chattanooga
depot last Saturday, was general thief,

He confessed to several petty thefts during
his stay in this city, as yell as attempts at
others He is, we learn, safe IN the hands
of the officers of justice at Atlanta, and
will, no doubt, pay the penalty Of his
crimes. His arrest and taking OF is at all
events a good radiance to our people, and

a MATTER OF EXPLANATION.

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
COLUMBIA, Tenn, Nov. IS, 1870.-1
have been repeatedly informed that the
article sent you In regard to the killing
of Col. PEBBLES, headed pointers State
mentr was offensive to the friends of Col.
PEBBLES, and that some of them have
gone 80 far as to give it as their belief it
was written through the procurement OF
Mr.. Pointer. When l was first informed
that the article was so taken, it was by
particular friend of the deceased who
promised me that he would correct the
impression in their minds, l therefore
thought of taking no further notice of it,
but as several others have approached me
on the same suject, and stating that there
was quite feeling about it., have felt it
my duty to write this and say that it was
far from being any part of my intentions.
My only object was to give the simple
facts of the case as / gathered them, and
nv impressions were that if had given
offense to any, and it was no part of my
purpose to give it to either, that it was to
MIR. Pointer as l stated in my telegram,
what l was informed, viz. that Pointer
had fed, which proved not true.
The |Pointer statement" was given to
me in the presence of two other gentle
men, by one whose name was not asked,
but who stated that he was the frieLd of.
and educated by Col. PEBBLES.
Icould not have desired to give col
oring to the affair in the interest of Mr..
Pointer, for l am not acquainted with
him; consequently there could be no per
sonal friendly relations between US to in
| fiuence me. l may know him as Points
but not otherwise, and of Col. PEBBLES,
may say almost the same. | was barely
acquainted with him, never had but on
conversation with him, but in that b
deeply impressed me that he was high
| toned, upright, pleasant and agreeabl
gentleman.
regret the necessity of writing this
vet feel that l would be doing mysel
| Injustice not to do so.
