This IS the title of monthly magazine
edited at the University of Nashville by a
Board of Editors, consisting OF Charles P.
Curd, President, Erwin Craighead, Ed
mund Cooper, Jr, Christian 5. Psarce and
CaIlum H. Brown, the first No. of which
appeared yesterday. The publication is a
very creditable production, and augurs
well for its future success. Upon peru
sal of its pages we ind q variety OF choice
literary matter and several contributions
that are decidedly spicy. In their saluta-
tory the editors say: "We take great
in the education of the student here; We
expept to see his mental development
exhibit itself through the medium OF
these pages; we desire to encourage IN
him taste for literature and Atera7y COM
positions thing liable tC be neglected IN
a military school, where everything Is
theory without practice where literature
is 80 little attended to"
The "Armory" Department Is in good
taste; college Splinters" should be kept
up regularly, but in all kindness, we would
suggest in the future less of the personal
in "City Notes." and if any of the students
are in the habit of ''raising the flask on
high" as intimsted. tell it not in Gath or
in the magazine, for it is not acceptable
reading to the loved ones at home.

AFaithfuI Sweetheart.

On Thursday evening last Justice Albert
solemnized the rites OF mstrimony be-
tween John Jacob Rufner and Margaret
Zindall. The scenes Of their first court
ship and earliest vows we're far distant
from the place where their pledges Of
eternal fidelity were finally made and offiN
cially sanctioned. Several years ago the
now happy bridegroom arrived here from
Switzerland, since which time he has pa
tiently waited the coming of his faithful
sweetheart from that distant land, but new
er doubling that she would come. Two
weeks ago, the beautiful Swiss girl, true to
the uncessing constsncy characteristic Of
her sex and her country, arrived here to
fulfill the pledges long ago made in Swift
zerland. In merit and fidelity she is worth
her weight in gold May the newly made
husband and wife live long snd prosper
without ceasing. -,

A FEW WORDS FROM A TRAVEL
ING SALESMAN.


To the Editors of the Union and American:
NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 28, 1871
Gentlemen Allow me to represent to the
city authorities and business men of your
CITY, few facts for the benefit of COM
merce. In the first place l am travelling
salesman, representing one of the manu-
features of oar country, mot a foreign
country. On my arrival here l find l, 2 3
different laws existing, which to
do any business, would necessitate
me procuring three different licen-
ses, which trade here would not
guarantee me doing. The result is I do
no business here. These laws do the city
no good. It allows detectives and police
to insult strangers, and drives from your
market first-class manufacturers, as trade
here is not sufficient to guarantee the ex-
pense of licenses. 1t compels your mer-
chants to pay more for their goods than
YOUR neighboring cities do, where this law
does not exist. l know of one class Of
goods now, that is being sold out by the
iobbing or wholesale dealers Of Gin
cinnati and Louisville ten per cent.
lower than your merchants in Nashville
nav for the same. Why is this?
will answer. You keep the CONNER
cisl travelling man from your market, you
do not invite or allow competition, hence
you do not pay competing prices. You
are one among the very few cities
where this law now exists. Others have
tried it, and to their sorrow. They have
dropped it as dead letter, or has been

don't know much about railroads, but
l do know that it takes nearly all 1 can
make to pay taxes; therefore l am opposed
to the city voting any more taxes, to pay
the stockholders of the Decatur road six
per cent; and am in favor Of he lease,
if it will relieve us of the S12,OG which
we now have to pay every year. AS for

they can be much closer than they now

Tennessee Horses for Georgia

Facts denoting the growing favor in
which Tennessee horses are held, both at
home and abroad, whether occurring IN
triumphs on the turf or demand on &C
count of superior speed and bottom, are
and can but be especially gratifying to our
people. For this reason it affords Us pleas
ure to state that several horse dealers
from Georgia have within the last few
days made investments here for Tennessee
horses. Mr.. Thos. Maury, of the firm of
Maury & Co., at Augusta, yesterday COM
pleted the purchase of a car load of Ten
nessee horses, and the stock so purchased
will this afternoon be shipped for Augusta.
