At IL o'clock last Saturday night John
Calhoun, a brakeman on the Memphis,
GAINESVILLE and Louisville Railroad, fell
from freight train No. Z, bound north, near
the passenger depot. The wheels passed
over both legs just below the hip joint,
mangling him horribly and crushing both
legs in two places. Drs. Wright and John
ston we're called in and did all they could to
ease the sufferings of the unfortunate man
who died at $50 Sunday morning. Col.
Robt. Meek, Superintendent, had everything
done that could tend to relieve his suffer-
ing. The body was placed in a handsome
metallic case and forwarded to the deceased's
father, who lives near Camden Station, on
the Northwestern Railroad. In bestowing
this attention at the expense of the road,
Mr.. Meek shows kind regard not too often
seen among officials of other roads, who, as
in an Illinois case, recently buried one of
their employees at the expense of the county.

Southern Baptist Theological Semi.
nary.

DIR. Boyce held a meeting of Baptists in
Memphis to devise means to remove the
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary to
Tennessee. A convention of leading Bap-
lists from all the Southern States will be
held at Memphis the last week in April.
The appeal says: A banker of this city
proposes to immortalize his name by giving
it to one of the chairs of the university.
Measures are on foot, of which one of three
or four broad tracts of land, within five
miles of the city's confines, will be secured.
In fact our Baptist brethren are thoroughly
imbUed with the idea that they can do
more for the cause of the church and for
the country by the establishment now, in
the infancy of Memphis, of great institu-
ton of learning than by any other action to
which the potent denomination may resort.
Many other cities will now undertake the
same task proposed to be executed by the
BaItists of Memphis and its vicinity; but it
is not believed that those of any proposed
site of the university can compete in valu-
able inducements offered with those that
will be profered by the April convention, to
be held in Memphis.

The Dangers of Bad Company.

Last night gentleman on a visit to this
city, who does not mind "setting them up
for two or more, commenced perambula-
lating our city. Falling in with two or
three railroad fellows, who were also stran-
gers here, he strowled promiscuously, view
ing the city under the gaslights, until the
festive party was increased by domestic
fellow Of the place, who himself is not slow
on the go. After disposing of a guam
tity Of whisky, which caused the
gentleman's pocket-book to collapse
wonderfully, they offered to see him safely
to his room at the hotel. While the party
were coming up Cherry street, between
Broad and Church, the fellows began to
grumble because the gentleman's pocket
book was out of fix and had no more ten
dollar bills in it. A fight ensued in which
the gentleman was knocked down, receiv-
Ing bad cut on his head which struck
against the stone curbing. Picking himself
up he drew a pocket knife and brOugh.
a little blood from his adversary,
besides striking him with a stone on the
head. They followed him to the hotel
where one of them personated an officer
and was very anxious to arrest him, only
needing warrant which he was sOrry to
learn the clerk had no authority to issue.
The gentleman was taken from them by
the clerk and sent to his room whereupOn
the party left. The last seen of them they
were swinging around gas posts and trying
to fall down as often as possible. Strangers
in cities should be careful in selecting COM
panions for "seeing the sights"

A DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SELF.
OBSTRUCTION.
An Actor Hacks Himself ThIrty.One
Times.

In yesterdays UNION AND AMERICAN
was made brief mention of attempted sui
eide by an actor named Roberts at Bowl
ing Green, Kentucky. Mr.. Roberts is a
brother Of Kate Estelle, and since his con-
nection with The Jenny Willmore Troupe
has been acting at Masonic Hall in this city.
Not long since his voice failed him, and
since then he has been brooding over his
misfortune in this respect, believing it
would render him useless in the dramatic
profession, to which heis much attached and
endeavOred to attain success. ! asst Monday,
while his mind was in morbid condition
Roberts went into his room. sharpened a
knife, and commenced stabbing himself in
the breast. This he kept up for some time,
only stopping when, as be thought, the blade
had pierced one of his lungs, rendering
death certain result, as he imagined be
heard the wind rushing through the aper-
ture when be breathed. He even went be-
fore a mirror and hacked away until he
thought his object accomplished, and then
stretched himself upon the floor to die.
When found he was exhausted
by loss of blood and upon IN
tying a flannel strip around his neck
a scar was found which, as subsequently,
aSCcI Idluou, was ldue Dy les own 0dnus IN
an attempt to kill himself with a knife
about two weeks ago, while in this city.
Owing to the dullness Of the knife he failed
in his purpose. Mr.. Roberts, who is quite
an intelligent gentleman. in speaking about
the matter, says he is seized at times by a
frenzy, during which he has no control of
himself, and does not know what he is
doing. Mr.. Roberts, We are glad to state,
is in fair way of recovery, being only
weakened by the loss of blood.

Folly Of TradeRman.

Yesterday, as we happen to know, a
Nashville drummer sold $4,000 worth OF
goods in Memphis appeal.
We presume the bulk of the Nashville
dTummeT's sale was whisky. Why do the
Brownsville merchants buy from Nash
vile jobber? 1t is because Memphis mer-
chants have been for a long time buying an
article Of whisky made in Cincinnati and
st. Louis consisting Of the lowest grades
and proofs they could have put up in those
markets. Sixty per cent. proof whisky is
legal tender in Memphis, and if it was not
for the large quantity of red pepper used in
this proof, it wOuldnOt be hot in an August
day. Brownsville and other thriving towns
in Mississippi and Arkansas are buying heir
WHISTLES from Nashville iobbers because
they can get pure article of Tennessee
whisky. Tbs Memphis merchants can also
buy pure Tennessee whisky here and in
Robertson county about as cheap as thew
can an imitation in Cincinnati, and ship
from this point to Memphis at CSC per bar
rel, free of insurance, and can make double
the profit on home manufactured than they
can on Western garbage and sulphuric acid
WHISTLES, which they sell for the price they
are now asking for home manufactured.
No first class manufacturer of Tennessee
asks the merchants South of us, to pay any
more for Tennessee than Western WHISTLES
Of the same quality. This could be applied
to many other articles manufactured in
Middle Tennessee. All we ask, then, is to
patronize home manufacturers, provided
they can make as much or more money by
buying in Tennessee.

The Poet Laureate of germany.

DR.. Wilhelm Jordan, from Frankfort-on
the-Main, viii be in our midst during this
week, and on Saturday evening, at Con-
cordia Hall, he will recite his great epos,
Z" Die NibelUnge," which has enchanted
immense audiences in all capital cities of
Europe. DR.. Jordan is a man of great
reputation. In 1S49 he was ono of the
foremost Of the liberal members of the
German Parliament, and was afterwards
Pnvy Counsellor Of the German Navy De
partment. He is in truth the founder of
the German navy, and il was dua to his
inspiring verses that a collection was made
up, from the proceeds of which the two
first German men-Of-war were built. Our
German citizens remember those times Of
national uprising in Fatherland, and the
name of DR.. Jordan is intimately connected
with those memories of the past. In later
years DIR. Jordan has devoted himself ex-
clusively to poetry. He has written several
poems, among which " Die Nibelunge and
" Hildebrand's Return" have heen pro-
nounced masterpieces by men like Franz
Kreypig and Rudolph GOttschall. In fact,
the latter eminent critics have said that
Jordan is the only German poet besides
Goethe whose works have taken rank
among the classics during the lifetime of
the author. We hope to see a large and
appreciative audience greet the great son of
the far off country. so distinguished for its
many able children.

The HISTORY of q NntinnaI Remed,

The History Of a National Remedy.
Here is the history of the most celebrated
tonic of the age in a nutshell: In 1860 it
was announced that certain combination
of vegetable ingredients, with pure diffu-
sive stimulant, was working wonders in the
cure Of chronic dyspepsia, nervous debility,
liver complaint, periodical fevers, rheuma-
tism and constitutional weakness. The IN
pretending name gwen to the specific was
PLANTATION BITTERs. The statement
attracted the attention of invalids every
where. The new remedy received a fair
trial, and the results more than confirmed
all that had been said in its praise. Thence
forward it was a grand success. The bust
ness columns Of the press spread the glor-
ious news far and wide, and the martyrs to
indigestion, bliousneSs, physical prostration
and premature decay, as if by common
consent, sought relief from the new vegeta-
bic restorative. They found what they
sought. From that time to the present the
Increase in the demand for Plantation Bit
tiers has been one Of the most striking events
in this age. mhj deod1w&w1t
