Nashville Hospitality,

Nashville has slwas been proverbial for
its hospitality This is one of its chief
recommendations to strangers. The city
will be OVERLOOKING with strangers in May.
The exposition will of course draw large
crowd. Then in quick succession will
follow the Sunday school Convention Of
the Methodist Church, South, and the
General Assembly of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church. These latter bodies
will have to be entertained by the citizens
We hope they will, without respect to
creed or church, throw open their doors,
and entertain these bodies with their char
acteristic liberality.

The Indemnity OF France TO Ger

The Kreutz ZeituRg of Berlin says:
1.-The amount of five millisrd francs is 50
much more than the amounts expressed
by the numbers We are in the habit of

cannot be reached, but only appropriated.
1t can best be understood by few COM
parsons. The weight of the sum of five
milliard francs in gold is 80, 25S est, 1t
would take 322 railroad cars, each carry

cashier should count 40, 900 francs, in FIVE
franc pieces, in one hour, expecting him to
begin at the age of twenty live, working
eight hours day, and 800 working days a
year, he would be past seventy seven be-
fore he had finished. Lastly, not one mil
lard minutes of time has elapsed since the
birth of Christ, and if during that time one
had laid aside FIVE francs every minute, day
and night, the amount would not be COW
