supply the demand for their excellent goods.

Our Fair GrOnnds.

We referred in the UNION AND AMERI-
CAN of yesterday to the resolution adopted
by the Directors Of the Agricultural and
Mechanics Association, that unless $4,000
be subscribed to aid this enterprise, the
property will have to be subjected to the
payment of its liabilities. This is a matter
for serious thought on the part of our
citizens generally. Will it be said that
Nashville, has suffered the Fair Grounds to
be put up to the highest bidder, the beauti-
full amphitheater torn down, and the premi-
ses that are now so attractive despoiled?
1t is an enterprise Of too much value
to our city and county to be abandoned
just when the project is fairly under way,
and which promises so many benefits, not
to say anything of its financial success in
the future. We hope there may be no diff
fculLy in raising the $4,000 necessary to
relieve the association from debt, and that
our city can still claim an interest in the
elegant improvements and the beautiful
drives which the grounds laid off by the
association afford.

Weights and Measures.

Adjutant General Wilkes has had the va
rious State standard scales repaired, neatly
encased and put in working order. 1t will
repay visit to the capitol to see the per-
feet mechanism of these standard scales,
the equilibrium of which is so true that
the weight of postage stamp Immediately
lowers the dish on which it is placed. A
wbisker pluckcd from the face of an emf
nent citizen, was yesterday placed
in one of the dishes and caused the scales
to move. The cause of this is most likely
due to age, experience and wisdom for he
has 'hoary whiskers and a forky beard"
The new weights and measures from the
Department at Washington are expected 10
be here next week. The cases, with doors
raised by means of pulleys, in which the
scales are kept, are very handsome, elegant
ly finished and were made by G. W. Herr

Lunatfc Anrrehended.

Yesterday a man named Z. B. Miles,
claiming to be school teacher, and sup
posed to be from some of the upper coun-
ties Of the State, was found to be in state
Of insanity, screaming at the top Of his
voice and at times very frantic. He was
taken charge of by an officer and placed in
the workhouse for confinement until proper
measures can be taken to see if his
insanity be permanent or only temporary.
The unfortunate man has, it seems, no &C
quaintances or friends here, and is not ra-
tional enough to give the officers necessary
information as to his former place of resi-
dence. He is about thirty years of age, has
dark beard, dark auburn hair, small of
stature, wears plug hat, dark clothes, and
eye glasses. His condition yesterday after
noon was most pitiable, and he appeared to
be exhausted, most likely resulting from
nervous excitement.

arriving here Tuesday at l P. NJ. The
whole crowd was delighted with the trip.
Some complimented Capt. Hartman and
others his gentlemanly clerk, Hard; some
talked of, and eulogized the boat and what
they had to eat, others spoke eloquently of
the agreeable and accomplished ladies on
board. So all was highly pleased and will
not soon forget Capt. 81. and the Tyrone
There was two elders in the party, both
unmarried, one a lawyer and the other a
doctor, upon whom impressions were made,
and perhaps, many nights they will see the
smiling face of a beautiful young lady, who
was on board from Paducah.
On Tuesday morning 10 o'clock, the
Captain and some of the officers and men
Of the steamer, together with the passengers,
were assembled to hear sermon from DR..
Baird. So, as they passed between the
beautiful hills as they stood on either side,
and seemed to look down upon them as
they glided on upon the rolling surface of
old Cumberland, they sung the praises of

Poisoned to Death.-A healthy liver
secretes each day about two and a half
pounds of bile, which contains a great
amount of waste material taken from the
blood. When the liver becomes torpid OF
congested, it fails to eliminate this vast
amount of noxious substance, which, there
fore, remains to poison the blood and be
conveyed to every part of the system.
What must be the condition of the blood
when it is receiving and retaining each day
two and half pounds Of poison? Nature
tries to work off this poison through other
channels and Organs-the kidneys, lungs,
skin, etc.; but these organs become over
taxed in performing this labor in addition
to their natural functions, and cannot long
Withstand the pressure, but become various
ly diseased.
The brain, which Is the great electrical
centre of all vitality, is unduly stimulated
by the unhealthy blood which passes to it
from the heart, and it fails to perform its
office beautifully. Hence the symptoms of
bile poisoning, which are dizziness, head
ache, incapacity to keep the mind on any
subject, impairment of memory, dizzy,
sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy fOrebod
ings, and irritability Of temper. The blood

upon the surface of the skin, it is so irritat-
ing and poisonous that it produces discOlOr-
ed brown spots, pimples, blotches and other
eruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles and scrOf
ulous tumors. The stomach, bowels aud
other organs spoken of, cannot escape be
coming affected sooner or later, and costive-
ness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhea, fe-
male weakness, and many other forms OF
chronic disease, are among the necessary
results. As a remedy for all these various
manifestations of disease DR.. Pierces Gold
en- Medical Discovery is positively unequal
ed. By it the liver and stomach are changed
to an active, healthy state, the appetite regu-
lated and restored, the blood and secretions
thoroughly purified and enriched, and the
whole system renovated and built up anew.

A Bad Practice.

For some time past Toys have been in
the habit Of flying kites in the street, tax
ing care to elude the vigilance of our police.
Capt. Yeader yesterday arrested colored
youth named Mack Scruggs, for flying a
kite on South Cherry street, opposite the
Central Baptist Church. Scruggs will
doubtless be punished for INDUCING in this
habit, which may cause much mischief.
We hope other boys will take warning by
Scruggs, and be more considerate in select
ing places for flying kites.
