The Humboldt Lnder says: By deci-
sion of the Grand Lodge of the Indepen-
dent Order of Odd Fellows in this State,
Humboldt was selected as the most eligible
and central point for the location of their
College in West Tennessee. As seen by

subscriptions and aid to the building of a
large, commodious edifice, for the accom-
mediation of all students who may at
tend an institution of this character.

The Travel North and SOuth-The
Beautiful City of the Cumberland
and its Grand Hotel What a
Tourist Says

and its Grand Hotel - What a
Tourist Says.
To the Editors of the Union and American:
To the numerous readers of your widely
read journal we desire to say a word as to
the travel en- route North and South, East
or West; and, as your beautiful city,
Nashville by the Cumberland, is the great
centre of attraction, for, from Nashville
the traveller can depart to any point of the
compass by first class conveyances, such as
the magnificent steamers now plying the
Cumberland river, for Louisville, Cincin-
natl, O., Cairo, st. Louis, Memphis and
New Orleans, by water, or by your railway
system for Louisville and the North, Mem
phis and New Orleans and the Southwest,
st. Louis and the West, or Chattanooga
and Knoxville for the East, or At
isnta, Augusta, etc, for the South.
Now, sirs, what city on the globe
has q more perfect system of railway and
steamboat communication than Nashville,
Tenn, and now what else has Nash
vile, viz: That which we had heard so
much Of, and come to find that not one
half too much has been said in its praise,
and this is the grand Maxwell House,
house we have seen made favorable men
ton of ty the witers to the European
press, for the reputation of such houses
will trace far away across the blue ocean,
to the Alpine Hills of Italy and Switzer-
land. We have toured through Europe,
and sojourned at the Grand in Paris, the
Langham in London, the Royal in Berlin,
and in Geneva, Royal Palace Hotels, and
nowhere, whether at the Lake of Como, or
English or Irish Lakes hotels, have we
ever seen a more superbly hotel than
Nashville, Tenn, can boast, the Max
well House, ana this brings us the point,
viz: When the tourist either for
Europe, or the White Mountain summer
travel, or the winter tour for Florida, New
Orleans, etc, sets out on tour of pleasure
or for health, they want all the comfort
possibly. Now, sirs, take every route lead
ing South, and ask yourself this question:
Is there on any other saveEthe Nashville,
such a magnifcently Royal Palace hotel as
the Maxwell We know them all, and there
is none such, and as we before stated that
with such facilities for reaching Nashville
the travelling public being thoroughly in
formed as they should, this route, through
Nashville to North or South, will be patron
lied by the travel en- masse. We do not
desire to be understood as speaking dis
parinely of other hotels, but as we have
stated, Nashville has one that can truly be
styled Royal Palace. Yours,

AUSTRIA.
Feels Her weakness.

PHsTH, Jan. S1.-In the Austro- Hun
gsrian delegation to-day, Baron Won Buest
delivered speech in advocacy of an in
crease in the ornaments of the empire,
both military and naval. He distinctly
repudiated the idea that the government
was actuated by any policy of revenge for
the past, but said the danger of warlike
complications involving Austria was not
phantom peril. The policy of the en-
pire was peaceful and prudent, but con
tingencies were possible, and foreign
powers must learn that Austria is ready
for defense.

Masonic Temple was again the scene Of
a grand affair last night, with very full
audience, largely composed of our most
respectable citizens, to witness the treat
that was offered by this justly famed
troupe. THE Field of the Cloth of

pectations of the audience, and it has been
q long time since Masonic Hall was filed
with so pleased an audience as last night.
We have not time nor space to go into de-

suffice it to say, that each and every one
of the characters were handsomely sus-
tanned, and was borne out with that full

fine spirits, and encore followed encore
throughout the performance. Sophie
Worren can safely be written down as a
Nashville favorite, and her accomplished
troupe is to her, what an able corps OF

LITHOTOMK,
Extraordinary Hospital Case.

Few cases have ever come under our
observation possessing more melancholy
interest than one that terminated in the
death Of patient at the st. Vincent Hos
pital near o'clock yesterday morning.
Some three weeks since, a youth near 10
years of age, though his appearance did
not indicate that he was more than If or
10, was admitted into the institution, suf-
fering from a most aggravated case of stone
in the bladder. His name was Paul Jones.
He was from Dyer county, and an orphan
destitute of this worlds goods, and had
been suffering from the affection almost
from his earliest recollection. When he
was admitted to the Hospital he was pale
and emaciAted, and so enfeebled that he
could walk but little, and that little with
the utmost difficulty. He was entirely
emssculated, and all the vital forces
of his physical system were ex-
hausted. 1t WAS clear that he would sink
under surgical operation, and that the
only alienation to his torturing sufferings
was in death. His case was beyond the
surgeons skill and all remedial agencies
He was taken charge of and cared for with
nursing kindness and medicinal solicitude
Sinking continually until reduced to a
mere skeleton, at the hour indicated yes
terday morning, he died, Soon after his
death DR.. W. T. Briggs performed post
m0rtem operation of ithotomy in
the presence of quite a number
of the medical students. A solid
stone about the size of a turkey
egg was extracted and almost in the same
shape, which is one of the largest known
to this peculiar branch Of medical science.
The stone is perfectly natural in appear
ance, and the fortunes endured by the pa
tent during its formation, obstructing Sc
cretions and infringing upon vital parts,
can only be conceived by those who have
either endured the same or who are scien-
tifcally versed in such cases and the causes
producing them. The stone is in posses
sion of DR.. Briggs, and will be deposited
among the rare collections st the museum
of the Medical College.

A Bank Wanted Badly.

The Bowling Green Democrat has of
late been urging the establishment of a
large banking institution in that city, and
from what we hear, there is no place in
the country where bank with large
capital would be more profitable. With a
population of over 5000, there is only one
bank in the city, and although conducted
well according to its capacity, and con-
trolled by clever gentlemen, it is not pre-
pared to do the business adequate to the
wants of the city. In order to better &C
commodate the business public, it would
be fortunate if a bank with capital say
of $500, 900 were put in operation imme-
