BUsINEss.-A vitriol-thrower has lately been
arrested in Philadelphia who disdains any motive
of malice in his operations. He says he does it
merely for an honest livelihood, and gets COM
men, and to show his humanity he devoted his
earnings for the week he was arrested to the
Chicago relief fund. He says he has already
pinked more than fifty dresses this season for the
first ladies in the place, and hopes fortune will
continue to smile on him.

their feet and limbs to explode, blowing them

THE MAsoNs GRAyE.-In all the past ages the
bodies of the Masonic dead have been laid in
graves dug east and west with their faces tow
ards the east The practice has been borrowed
aud adopted by others until it has become almost
universal. 1t implies that when the great day
shall come, and He who is deaths conqueror shall
give the signal, his insuiIcrable light shall be
first seen in the east that from the east he will
make his glorious approach will stand at the
eastern margin of these graves, and with his
mighty power--that grasp irresistably strong
which shall preval-will raise the bodies which
are therein. We shall long be buried, long de-
cay. Friends, yea, our nearest and dearest, will
have to remember where they have laid us. The
broad earth will have undergone wonderous
changes, mountains eveled valleys filled. The
seasons will have chased each other in many
fruitful round. Oceans lashed into fury by the
gales of to-day will have skunk like spoiled
child to their slumber. Broad trees with broad
roots will have locked their roots above our
ashes. as if to conceal the fit of our having
lived and then, after centuries of life they too
will have followed our example of mortality,
and long struggling with decay, at last will have
toppled down to join their remains with ours,
thus obliterating the last poor testimony that
man has ever lain here. But the eye OF God,
nevertheless, will mark the spot, green with the
everlasting verdure of faith, and when the trum-
pets blast sha. shake the hills to their very
bases, our astonished bodies shall rise upward
by an irresistible impulse, and we shall stand
face to face with our Redeemer.

Ir FLIEs.-The famous French tri-color is still
flying from the spire Of the cathedral at Metz
The Prusian authorities have made every effort
to have it removed but without success. They
have vainly offered sums of money to any adven-
turous person who would climb to the steepe to
remove it, while their sharp-shooters have use
lessly fred thousands of shots at it. The peo-
pie have come to look upon the lone flag as an
augury. They say with ehusion that the flag of
France still flies above them and when the
breeze extends its folds in the direction OF the
Rhine they point to it and say to each other in
the streets: " Look We shall have fine day;
the wind comes from France - There is said
to be in Metz only one man who is both skillful
and daring enough to climb to its entire hight.
This is he who placed the flag there. He is a
poor workman who, during the war, attached
the flag to the spire for five francs but the pa
triotic Frenchman has refused the Prussian Gov
ernor' S offer of 3, 900 francs to remove it.

Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1871-01-20

In the GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf of tn,
18th inst, we find the following compli
mentary notice of our agricultural editor:
Our fellow. citizen j. B. Killebrew is an
nounced in the Nashville UNION AM
AMERICAN as having accepted place in tn,
editorial staff of that paper. Mr.. Kille
brew is well known here as a practical anC
successful farmer, one of the most pro
gressive and enterprising farmers in the
county. In his efforts to advance the
farming interests of this county, and TO
conduce to its general prosperity by ad.
vertising its resources and its wonderful
clements of wealth. he has made consider
able reputation, as man fully up to the
necessities of the times. We have seen
from all parts of the country numerous
commentators of his course as well cal
culated to bring about immigration and
general prosperity.
Mr.. Killebrew is an easy and graceful
writer. His style is pure and unpretend-
ing, without stiffness, and wanting the
ponderous words, artificial sentences, and
fiowery attempts at rhetorical display, so
common now.
Being gentleman of learning and cul-
ture, as well as thorough practical thor
ough practical experience; he is well quail
fled to conduct the agricultural depart
ment of the UNION AND AMERICAN, where
he has broad field of usefulness opened
before him, which we have no doubt he
will fill it with honor to himself and profit
TO his State.
This is an almost uncultivated field in
Tennessee, and one in which liberal views
and practical experience may work won
ders of improvement for the farming in
terest, and thereby for the general pros
perity of the State. Heretofore farming
has been series of individual efforts, to
scratch subsistence out of the soil, Guilt
waited here and there in fertile spots; but
such efforts fail to meet the necessities of
these times. The day when the farmer
could abandon an unproductiye field and
clear a new one, is past. Slipshod, half
farming will not answer now. There is a
demand for enlightened systematized agri-
culture, and a consolidation of individual
efforts into one mighty advance of the
whole farming community, and we are
glad to see such men as Mr.. Killebrew
coming up TO the work and placing them
selves in a position to aid in the grand
labor We may expect that MIR. Killebrew
will not relax his efforts in behalf of his
own county, because he has entered a
broader field of labor

ess Cotton.

The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph and Mes
senger of late date says:
We are rejoiced to hear such accounts
from the planters as leads us to look for q
heavy falling of in cotton production next
year, and corresponding increase in food
crops. This will, indeed, be only the
most ordinary prudence. No man can
undertake to predict what sort of difficult
ty with England Butler and Grant may
work up in their efforts to secure re-elec-
ton, and turn the tide of politics by
some remarkable stroke of partizan tao
tics. Just as likely as not they may get
up war before the next cotton crop is
marketed, and we leave the planter to
imagine his condition in such an event,
with crop absolutely unsaleable, and an
insufficient supply of provisions on hand.
But we are sorry to hear that other than
prudential reasons will diminish the crop.
Many are retiring from planting and hir-
ing their lands to negroes. This will lead
to results in crop and rent which may be
represented by a cypher. The mass ofthe
planters will buy little or no fertilizers,
and this will call for another reduction.
We have heard it conjectured that the
crop of Georgia, from all causes, will fall
of at least 25 per cent. or upwards o.
100, 900 bales. Let us travel along slowly,
for while, and see if we do not make
better speed after all.

The Wool Trade.

The New York Bulletin says:
There was a decided improvement in
the demand for all styles of wool during
the present week in this as we'll as the
Eastern markets. During December man.
ufacturers bought very little wool, partly
from desire to reduce their stock al
much as possible before the annual &C.
counting on the beginning of the new
year, and partly because they believed that
prices would be lower during the present
month. After canvassing the principal
markets more thoroughly, however, they
seem to have become more convinced of
what dealers have known for some time
past-that the stocks in this and other
markets, as well as in the interior, are IN
usually light, aud that a few weeks
active trade would produce scarcity, es-
pecially of fleece woods. The improvement
of the past week has caused an advance of
fully one cent per pound on Michigan and
similar grades of fleece, and all medium
fieeces. Fine feeces are in good request,
but prices cannot be quoted materially
above those of last month, though likely
to advance in consequence of the light
stock. Pulled is held in larger quantities,
but the supply in the interior is small,
with domestic pelts scarce and higher.
According to Mr.. James Lynchs circular
the stock of domestic woods in New York
on the LIST inst. was 1910. 00Opounds, COM
pared with $685., 900 pounds on the LIST of
January, 1870. The arrivals of domestic
at New York during 1870 were 30, S69, 200
pounds, or about 2, sos, 900 pounds more
than during 1869. The total clip of the
TTni.ad SfafaS 10 estimated af 163 ono DDD
pounds, or $50, 600 more than IN 1869; a
decrease of 5000, 900 pounds in fleece and
pulled washed, and an increase Of $780,

Coffee and Gold.

A large amount of imported merchan-
disc now passes through the bonded ware
house here, and the duty on said merchan-
disc is not required to be paid until the
goods are taken from the warehouse, As
an indication of the amount of business
done in Nashville in the coffee line, we
may state that MIR. Wolf, the Surveyor of
Customs for this port, received about five
thousand dollars in gold yesterday, which
was paid in as duty on coffee taken out of
bond. As the duty is only three cents a
pound it will be seen that a considerable
amount of coffee was withdrawn. It NAV
be proper to state, however, that in the
latter part of last year the imports were
very light, owing to the anticipated reduc-
ton of the duty from five to three cents a
pound, and therefore the stock in Nashville
became very small.
In addition, we may say that the Sur
veyOr has received notice that five hundred
sacks of coffee, in bond, are now on their
way here. Most if not all of it is imported
by way of Baltimore

The Tobacco Crop.

The following is an extract from the late
annual report of the Cincinnati Tobacco
Association:
'Advices from the country are to the eff.
feet that the new crop (1S70) has all been
comfortably housed, and that it will prove
more than an average crop as to size, al
though in some sections the increase il
the number of pounds will not be great
over last year; yet the number of hogs.
heads will be much greater, as the good
tobacco will not be pressed heavy as il
was last year. AS to the quality of the
crop, it seems to be generally believed
that it is not so large and leafy as last crop,
the leaf itself being smaller, and it has not
so much body.
''The crop will not be very colory and
bright, and may be characterized as a red
crop. Our expectations are to receive u.s.
600 or 10000 hoesheads in our market
during this year, and from all reports, we
think our expectations will be realized. So
far as personal observation is concerned,
we have not had much opportunity to
Judge of the character of the new crop, as
very little of it has come to market up to
this time, and that selling at Sc to $l3 for
common Tugs to medium good leaf. With
a much smaller stock on hand than we had
on last January, and reasonable expecta-
ton that the new crop will not begin to
come into market for some time, at least
in large quantities, we think our market
in very firm condition, and likely to re-
main so.

Is peculiar characteristic of the action Of
Mississippi Diarrhea Cordial when used for
any class of bowel complaints. Dysentery
is usually checked by one or two doses,
and cured by as many more. Before the
late war, as now, it was kept by most plant
ers in the Mississippi bottom The usual
summer sickness among their hands
was promptly cured by its use, and it was
found that in the generality of cases it was
not even necessary for the hand to leave
the field. Containing no opiate, being
soothing, and eminently healing, it can be
confidently recommended as the best rem
