The BILLIARD HELLs or CHCAGO-A few days
ago a magnificent ball containing % billiard Ia
bes wss thrown open to the Chicago public, and
the announcement made that the Garden City
could truthfully claim the honor Of possessing
the largest and most magnifCently fitted Up
billiard saloon vest Of New York. While this
may be and doubtless is true-it is highly prob
able that more young men Will there receive
their first lesson on the road to ruin, that more
mothers, wives and sisters will have cause to
curse its opening, than any institution of a
similar character in our city. In il at all times
and in fact every billiard saloon, with which
our city is cursed-may be seen the paste-oe-
dsubed loafer, the chsracterless gambler,
watching for his prey the pert apprentice, the
embryo thief, the jaunty sport, and the down
grade, Joliet bound pilfering clerk From the
billiard table to the gambling table or brothel
is frequently but STEP and there are thous-
snds of young men who curse, and who have
reason to curse the time when they consented
70 play their first game And yet employers
are in great measure responsible for this state
Of affairs A number Of young men spend
their evenings in these hell holes because they
have no place else to 60 And it is matter
Of surprise that with all their boosted enter
prise, generosity and foresight they have
20 far failed to provide place Of resort for
/ their employees. If they knew their interests,
they would realize that the best investment
they could make, both from a pecuniary and
moral standpoint, would be to establish a pub
lie reading room and library, to which their
employees could at all times obtain free access.
It is necessary that it should be free, because
a nightly resort to theatre or any other place
or amusement makes inroads upon the income
Of a clerk that he can lily afford, and 20 keen
up which be must too often resort to dishonesty
Let the railroad companies, the manufacturers,
and merchants of Chicago, erect and fit up a
free reading room, and gymnasium, and OuI
word for it, we should hear Of fewer defalca
tons, and the fitting up Of fewer billiard halls.

This medical preparation is now offered to
the public as q reliable substitute for the
many worthless compounds which now
flood the market. 1t Is purely vegetable
composed Of various herbs, gathered from
the great storehouse ofnature, and selected
with the utmost care. 1t is not recommend
ed as CURE ALL, but by its direct and sal
ntary influence upon the Heart, LIVER, Kid
heys, Lungs, Stomach and Bowels, 1t acts
both as preventative and cure for many OF
the diseases to which those organs are sub
ject. 1t is a reliable Family Medicine, and
can be taken by either infant or adult with
the same beneficial results. 1t is a certain,
prompt and speedy remedy for DIAR-

SPIRITS, PAINTINGS, SlCK-HEADACHE
&c. For CHILLS and FEVERS OF all kinds,
1t is far better and safer than quinine, with

an appetite, proves powerful digester OF
food. and will counterfeit the effects ofliquor

Katie GiIbert,s Beueat.

The grand complimentary testimonial
rendered Miss Katie Gilbert by the citizens
of Nashville, will take place at Masonic
Hall, (to-morrow) Monday evening, Oct 8.
The bill selected for the occasion is one Of
rare merit, and embraces the two sterling
plays in which Miss Katie stands pre-emi-
nent. 1t is seldom that the theatre goers
Of Nashville have chance to witness as
talented a company as that of the Gilbert
Sisters, and our memory fails to revert to
the time when any troupe has appeared
here led by so brilliant, bewitching and
beautiful star as sour Katie Gilbert" A
native of our city, it is well that our citizens
extend graceful welcome to one who, 50
young in years, has reached so high niche
in the dramatic column. Chas. Reade's
"DOrd" and the charming comedy Of "AH
that Glitters is not Cold" will be presented.
Let our citizens attest their appreciation of
true merit and crowd Masonic Hall upon
this occasion.

Music at the Fair.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
Now, as our Fair is about to close, take
the liberty to make the following inquiry.
In furnishing music for the Fair, why did
not the directors employ one Of our city
bands, instead of the Post Band? am sure
that they could have given us as good, if not
better music than we have had there, which
was indeed very slack, and not much to
speak Of. l have nothing to say against the
Post Band-tlIey are very good Sin their
own clothes" but l think that such an in
stitution as the Fair, which is supported by
the citizens, should patronize a city band.
As their members are all mechanics, OF
course they can live independent of its pat
ronage; but, after spending time and money
in raising and peFfecting themselves as mu-
sicians, they should be supported. In any
city YOU 20 to, you will find on all occasions
that no other but citizens bands are EN-
ployed, and they take pride in having and
supporting one, and l think that Nashville
could Justly take the same pride. The di-
rectors Of the Columbia Fair employed our
Rock City Band, and the President publicly
thanked them for their uutiring efforts and
gentlemanly behavior while there. Hoping
that these few remarks will be considered
in future, am, "a CITIZEN"

sudden disappearance Of a sheriG

The people of the good county of Sum
ner are troubled and mystified in conse-
quence of the unaccountable absence, for
two weeks past, of their sheriff, Mr.. VIM.
A. Lowell. The county court at their
last meeting elected John Clendening to
supply the vacancy caused by this disap-
pearance. The Examiner says that the last
known at Gallatin of Mr.. LOvell's wherea-
bouts was on Wednesday before the elect
ion of his successor, at which time he was
in Nashville, saying he was there TO settle
with the clerk of the supreme court, which,
it appears, he did not do. His family and
other relatives state that they know nothing
of his whereabouts. The Examiner says:
without any wish to do injustice to an
absent, and possibly an innocent, man, it
should be stated that there are charges of
Mr.. Lowell being largely behind pecunarily
as an officer. OF this We know nothing,
but take it for granted that an investigation
will settle this point. 1t should also be
stated that no apprehensions are felt by his
friends that any casualty has Detailed him,
but that he has voluntarily absented him
