a TrHc, Living Home Insurance
Policy
A iaboring man or mechanic who will
! appropriate SIS per month, IN advance,
can own house and lot costing 81, 900 in
seven years, ten months and seven days,
by being allowed interest on his payments
at SIX per cent. and charged gctth interest
on the capital at six per cent; $50 per
month, on the same conditions, viii obtain
neat, comfortable home, costing 81 800,
in five years, three months and nine days:
$25 per month viii obtain fee simple of
like home in six years, nine months and
four days; $50 per month viii extinguish
the same capital (S1, 500 in seven years
and six months; 800 per month, at ten
per cent interest, both ways, will extin-
guish capital of $4,000 in five years,
three months and eight days; S102. 163 per
month, interest both ways, at six per cent.
in seven years, three months and nine

The purchaser under this plan will, in
the meantime, have occupation and live on
his own property rent free, save and ex-
ceping what trifing sums he may have to
pay from time to time for taxes and insur-
ance; and is it not fair to presume that an
industrious and frugal family, living on
their own property under these favorable
circumstances, would only be paying
tor home at about the same amount they |
would be Obliged to pay some grasping |
landlord for rent?
With a slight additional expense, they |
could improve and beautify their home BY |
setting out fruit trees, grape vines, etc,
which would add materially to its value at |
the maturity Of these respective terms. 1t |
Is obvious to the least observer that the |
enhancement in value Of such homes in |
rapidly growing city like Nashville, where |
suburban property is rapidly appreciating,
must be very great
Laboring men, mechanics, professional |
men, clerks and all others In moderate |
circumstances who can appreciate the |
blessings of a permanent home, why will |
you give your substance and labor to the |
wealthy landlord where you might be |
gaining so much for yourselves and fami-
hes? Here is glorious opportunity for /
every worthy and industrious man to sit |
under his cwn wine and fig tree, and to |
give his rising family the proud satisfaction |
Of knowing that in the course of short |
time they will have home that they can
call their own

only add to the attractiveness of the build

Quite q number of persons went from
this city Friday to the Masonic celebration
at Tullahoms, and the occasion, we learn,
proved an interesting, instructive and
Masonic gathering, collation., speaking
and general social enjoyments. The orator
of the day was Mr.. Terry Cahal, Of this
city, which insured speaking of the highest
order. The day was spent in those frater-
nal and genial enioyments peculiar to the
Masons, which were participated In by a
large number Of gratifed friends and in
vited guests. From what we can learn,
st. Johns day was observed in most be-
fitting manner by our friends and those ad-

Storming KInbFIeIsch. /

There were 800 workmen thrown out
of employment by the refusal of the Mayor
of Brooklyn to sign the bonds of Prospect
Park. The Commissioners went in
body to-day, accompanied by one hundred
dirt carts, to the city hall to consult with

was unconstitutional and on that ground
he had refused to sign the bond.

suaIIpox M the PenitentInry.

Smallpox has been and is still prevailing
virulently among the convicts at the peni-
tentiary. There have been within short
time three or four deaths from this cause.
There are now thirty or forty cases, twenty
of which are of a malignant character. The
mahgnancy of the disease has been very
much intensified by the warm weather and
the crowded condition of the patients. Ad.
ditional hospital accommodations were pre-
pared yesterday, and those suffering with
the disease provided with better means of
ventilation, which, with the proper medical
care they receive, il is hoped will arrest the
spread of the contagious malady.

Old Times Returning.

For the past eight years, when in search
Of wearing apparel, our minds have inva-
riably wandered back to the days of ''auld
lang syne, when goods Of every descrip-
ton could be had for almost ones own
pricc, and we have sighed time and again
for the return of those days. We must
&c aowledge that Messrs. g. Rice & Co.,
the diy goods merchants on College street,
have by their energy and enterprise,
brought upon us again that era when we
can truly say that goods are cheap. 1t is
astonishing how low they do sell they GER
tainly knock the spot out of sat cost"
sales. We invite our friends TO read their
advertisement in this mornings UNION AND
AMERICAN, and ther give them a call and
be convinced that they are selling as we
represent. Don't be afraid; they have po-
lite and attentive clerks, who are not afraid
to show thsir goods. They have sent us
package of the linen handkerchiefs which
they are selling at 81 per dozen, as speci-
men of what they are doing in the way of
selling cheap, and we candidly confess that
we never bought better article for 50 per
dozen. We wish them the abundant sue
cess their enterprise deserves.

New YoRx, June 25.-The IS,tp learns
by private letter from Neuvitas from a

the Spanish battalion of San Quantine,
which was sent out from NeuYitas on May
20, for the purpose of capturing the pas
sengers and crew of the steamer G. B.
Upton, has returned to that post diminish
cd in numbers, with other marks of having
suffered in action with the patriots. This
accounts for the fact that the leunboat
Triumto, which was to have brought to
Havana the arms and ammunition reported
by the volunteers as having been captured
from the cargo of the Upton, arrived in
that city without anything on board, hav-
ing apparently dropped those valuable cap

tour through the Indian country, and who
has been absent since the Sd of May, says
that during his trip he travelled over 5000
miles; the farthest point he visited was

was to become more thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the vast region known as the In
dian country, and the real situation of
affairs there as respect the Indian and
white settlers, and the United States troops
at the various military posts. He has
gained from various sources a vast fund of
Information, which will prove of import
ance TO hlm in the future discharge of his
duties --r ~ y .-
His PrrliOus Adventures.
During the entire journey the
the General was rot molested by the In
dians, but while passing through the
country that was possessed by more hostile
tribes, he had escort of cavalry. He found
friendly Indians quite communicative and
evidently desirous of receiving presents
from the Government, especially guns and
ammunition with which to fight the
Sioux. e.-- MD.
