The Jackson Wing and Tribune of last
week says:
Col. ]. o. Griffith, of the UNION AND
AMERICAN, at Nashville, spent several days
in the city this week. He delivered most
instructive address to the Methodist
Sundsy-school on Sunday last, and on
Monday addressed the students of the
Memphis Conference Female Institute. He
also visited West Tennessee College on
Monday, and spent an hour most pleas
sntly to himself, faculty and students.
Col. G. is at the head of one of the sblest
journals in the State. For size, sound
doctrine and general interest, his paper,
the UNION AND AMERICAN, has no superior
in the South. We wish the Colonel and
his excellent paper that unbounded sue
cess which both 80 richly deserve.
The following is from the Trenton Ga
sette of the 18th inst:
We had the pleasure of a visit on last
Tuesday from Col GRIFFITH, of the UNION
AND AMERICAN. He is canvassing the State
upon a general tour of inspection, looking
after the interest of his sterling journal and
cultivating the acquaintance of the people,
thus combining pleasure and business He
visited Melrose Institute and Andrew Col
lege and addressed the pupils of each in
stitution, impressing upon them many
wholesome and practical truths.

Gently made by the North Nashville Real
Estate Company, as well as other circum-
stances of a favorable character, are
strongly directing to that pleasant and
beautiful portion of the city the attention
Of those anxious to buy lots and build
homes for themselves, or make invest
nents in real estate which may hereafter
bs turned to handsome profit. On Sunday
last crowds of people from other portions
of the city could be seen rambling about
over the grounds of the Company, which
are still in the market, and all seemed
favorably impressed with the appearance
and fourishing condition of that beautiful
and healthful locality. The favorable
terms offered purchasers by the North
Nashville Real Estate Company will con
tinue to be the nedns of rapid sales fOl
lots in that part of the city.

Congress Allows Independent Scouts
Full Soldiers Pay, and How Tin

\ e
Congress Allows Independent Scouts
Fun Soldiers, Pay, and How Tin
ker Dawes Men Got Theirs.
By the LAST Congress Of the United
States before the one now in session a bill
was passed to allow full soldiers pay for
the time they served to the independent
scouts who did service on the Federal side
in Tennessee. The provisions of the bill
applied especially to the men OF Tinker
Dawes command, to each of whom GER
tifcate of service was rendered, upon
which q government voucher was subse-
quently issued. About the time these
papers were being supplied to the
redoubtable soldiers of that famous
command, two young men who had
eyes to business were keeping store
of some sort in the town of Alexandra, in
and about which place resided many of
Tinker Dawes followers. This pair Of
storekeepers, having a good deal Of idle
money and being afflicted with an accom-
modating disposition, began the humane
work of buying up these vouchers, in most
cases at discount not amazingly liberal
to the original holders-thus giving practi-
Cal illustration to the great truth that
money makes money" After buying up
all the vouchers offered and settling up
their business at Alexandria, the enter
prising merchants repaired to the national
capital for the purpose Of obtaining the
reward their ingenuity and liberality
deserved. At Washington, where ''the
honesty that is the best policy" is not now
practioed to any very alarming extent no
questions were asked and the two gentle
men who had sacrificed so much for the
pecuniary benefit of Tinker Dawes men,
received dollar for dollar on the faces Of
the vouchers presented, thus aggregating
more money than either or both or "sny
other man" of their sort had ever before
possessed. If they have not since estab-
hshed q silk importing house or bought
out an Eastern railway, the omission is 40
doubt attributable to q want of fondness
on their part for such risky speculations.

tured his arm. The unfortunate man was
properly cared for and taken back to

Sir, this work is the work of Radical

happiness. Ibelieve would be willing
to vote for an appropriation to send the
Army and Navy to South Carolina and
capture this illustrious body of legislators
as the common enemies of epsce, law and
order, as q band of Ku-Klux after the
order of John Brown, and transport
them to the loving embrace of Bsez, in
the leland of San Domingo. Sir, they
are the Ku-Klux, the blight and mildew
which rest upon the bosom of that once
proud and glorious little Commonwealth.

missed.
Mr.. Winford, who had been arrested for
selling prize packages Of cigars, came yes
terday before Justice Baskette for trial,
but no prosecutor or witnesses appearing
against the accused, he was released and
the case dismissed. From the result in
the case, as well as from the decisions OF
acquittal recently rendered in similar
cases, it appears that the legal authorities
do not regard the sale of prize packages as
a very serious violation Of the law made
and provided to prohibit gaming-if in
fact any violation at all.

A Remarkable Manuscript.

Among the manuscripts which were proba-
bly,, burned in the recent confagration of the
archIepiscopal, palace at Bourges, France, the
most remarkable was, without doubt, the order
for the execution of Jesus Christ, which was
the personal property of the family De la Tour
d'Auvergne. The order runs thus:
Jesus of Nazareth, of the Jewish tribe of
Juda, convicted of imposture and rebellion
against the divine authority of TIberius Agus-
tus, Emperor Of the Romans, having for this
sacrilege been condemned to die on the cross
by sentence of the judge. Pontius Plate, on
the prosecution of our lord Herod, lieutenant
of the Emperor in Judea, shall be taken to-
morrow morning, the 23d day of the ides of
March, to the usual place of punishment, un-
der the escort OF a company of the Pretorian
guard. The so-called King of the Jews shall
be taken out by the Strunean gate. All the
public officers and the subjects of the Emperor
are directed to lend their aid to the execution
of this sentence. (Signed) CAPEL.

Public School Regulations.

The following regulations of the Board O.
Education of Virginia respecting the introduc
ton of the higher branches into the public
schools are published by the Superintendent Of
Public instruction
Res0tUed, That it is contrary to the spirit ol
the present school law to allow any but the ell
ementary studies named in the law to be intro
duced into the public free schools, except In
other branches would manifestly help instead
of hindering the special aim of the law. To
provide for such cases, the following regula-
| tions are adopted:
l. The teaching of extra branches shall
always be secondary and subsidiary to the in
terests OF elementary education.
2 The public money shall not be employed
10 paying tor instruction in these extra studies,
but shall be used to pay only for that portion
OF the teachers time which is igven to elemen-
tary instruction,
8. Whatever studies are introduced shall be
free to all alike, without tuition fees
4. Under these instructions, the District
Boards OF School Trustees may license the in
PRODUCTION of extra studies in peculiar cases;
but the written sanction Of the county superin-
tendent is necessary to give validity to the ac-
ton of the trustees.
5. Where this license is given, the minimum
average attendance of twenty may include pu-
pills of all grades.
e. Teachers must be required to state in
their monthly reports what extra studies have
been pursued, and by what number of pupils.
7. The higher branches may always be in
troduced when needed to bring up the number
Of pupils in graded school to az average at
tendance of hundred, provided the extra ex-
pense is drawn from other than the public
funds
8. These regulations may be changed at the
end of the present scholastic year.
