months!
But by the establishment of our credit be-
fore Greeley, Tammany, and the rebel-De-
mocracy clasped hands across "thc bloody
chasm," the Administration had redeemed
5000, 100000 six per cent. bonds, and in their
stead issued the same amount of five per
cent. bonds. And Mr.. Boutwell, expressed
the confident belief that unless some I'M
favorable circumstance arises, such as the
restoration of the Government to the hands
of the party which shed SO much blood and
spent SO many millions to destroy it, it will
be practicable to continue the redemption of
outstanding five per cent. bonds, and the
issue first Of bonds bearing five per cent
interest, and then those bearing four and a
half per cent. and four per cent. The benc-
fetal results of this measure are not confined
to the Government, but affect all classes of
business men by fixing standard of interest
at low rate, and thus enabling other par
ties who are borrowers to procure money at
a proportionately less cost.

Barnum,s Great Exhibitton.

This remarkable aggregation of the
worlds wonders is to visit Tennessee and
the South during the coming winter season,
and will exhibit in Nashville on the 18th
and 18th of November, remaining but two
days and giving three full and complete ex-
hibitions each day. II has been found nee
essary to give three performances daily in
consequence of the enormous crowds that
everywhere attend the exhibitions, the rail-
roads usually carrying at halffare on 'Bar-
NUNS day." and transporting large crowds
of people. TIE morning performance takes
place at 10 O'Clock, directly after the grand
street parade, and will include the entire
exhibition, circus, museum and menagerie.
AS the morning entertainments are usually
less crowded than those of the afternoon
and evening. they are much the best for
ladies and children to visit.
OF the many remarkable enterprises In
which Mr.. Barnum has been engaged, this
is the most extensive and successful. Com
bining seven shows in one, the whole so
arranged that, although six mammoth tents,
covering nearly five acres of of ground, are
necessary to contain the vast collection, yet
one ticket, which costs bat one dollar ad
mits to the entire exhibition, and children
under nine years of age go in at half price.
Nothing to compare with this colossal es-
Enlistment was ever before known in the
history of the show business, and no one
but man of Barnum's great wealth and
large experience, could make so large an
establishment success. Seventy cars and
four engines are necessary to transport the
concern, and we are informed that the daily
expenses are nearly five thousand dollars,
Five acres of ground are required for the six
mammoth tents and the hotel and stable.
Mr.. Barnum keeping hotel of his own In
which some three hundred Of his men are
fed; while in stables adjoining his horses
are provided for.

Found Dead in HIS Hotel.

Reference was made in our last issue TO
the death of a man named Horace Warden,
who arrived in Louisville from Nashville.
The Commercial of that city says that he
retired soon after he arrived at the United
States Hotel. When the chamberinaid
called to clean up the room about seven
O'Clock in the morning, she heard him
moving around. He asked her what she
wanted, and told her to come back again.
She returned several times, aIS finally in
the afternoon, receiving no answer to re-
peated knocks, the door was forced open,
and the unfortunate man was found
lying on the bed stiff ami cold. Coroner
Weber was called, in and examined the
body. 1t was perfect skeleton, and every
bone in the body was plainly visible, even
the arm and leg bones, while the hip bones
and shoulder joints almost penetrated
through the skiu. The cheek bones stood
cut prominently and the eyes were fright
fully sunlen. On the table, rear the bed,
was a glass containing muddy-lOoking
liquid, which had the smell.o paragoric.
he had probably been drinking this during
the night.
In his pockets were found number of
letters and papers, and $3.50 in gold, 1925
in silver, and 90 in United States cur
rency. Among the papers was the follow
ing, written on the back of prescription
blank, bearing the card of w. II. Leick-

A Boston Charity.

Boston has an aesthetic charity which is
called the "Flower Mission" and which is
supposed to be capable of relieving all the
misery and suffering which can find lodg-
ment in that favored city. In less ethereal
cities, when fellow is hungry, ragged and
cold, be would be pleased to have cold
chicken to eat, some good clothes to wear,
and little coal to burn in the crate; but
sublilnated Boston is above such vulgar
wants. The sick in Boston are only sup
posed to want marigold to smell, when
they are recovering from typhoid fever, and
to meet this want the Boston Flower Mis-
sion has been organized. Whenever it
hears of sick widow in an alley, with sew
en- ragged children bowling for bread, it
sends her big sunfower, in order that she
may be as happy as that is always supposed
to be. The Flower Mission has just held
its fourth annual session, and from the re-
ports we learn that, from the 9th Of May
to the 18th of October, 10, 305 distributions
of flowers have been made among the poor.
Over 10, 900 miserable souls made happy by
this heightened charity For who can
doubt that it is sweet to die, even Of star
Yation, in delightful Boston, with holly
hook in ones hand? A little -four goes q
great way among the poor of New York,
but the aesthetic niserables Of Boston

FRENCH INDEPENDENCE.

A writer in FrGser's Magazine, on
"Domestic Life and Economy in France"
remarks that the national costumes Of that
country, as well as the sentiments of the
people are such as to favor IN every way
the practice of economy and the acquisition
of wealth. In the first place, there is no
recognized standard of public opinion.
Nothing In the least resembling our incon-
venient "Mrs. Grundy" could ever gain ad-
mittance, or be tolerated there for single
day. Whatever mistakes they may mase,
whatever follies they commit, they are
themselves individually responsible; for
it is essentially true in France, that each
man ''does what is right in his
own eyes," This, it will not be
denied, has its bad as well as
its good side; no one would dream, for in-
stance, of going to church because some
one else did, nor of becoming Republican
because some one else happened to be one.
In France no one ever finds himself doing
what is personally unpleasant because it
viii look well, or be thought well, or be-
cause other people do it. ANY Frenchmau,
no matter of what rank, would ridicule the
idea of his social position or gentility being
supposed to depend in the slightest degree
on such accidents IS whether his door-beIl
were answered by maid or man servant,
or whether the said man appeared In coat
or without ons. The reason for this indif-
ference lies in the extraordinary absence of
what can strictly be termed snoblishness
in the French character, ~

To the Editor of the Union and American:
am glad to announce for the Nashville
Library Association that the notice you
published few days ago for us, to the
effect that two gentlemen had given to two
poor boys each a ticket of membership in

other to make his clerk a present of year
ly ticket. And allow me to>suggest to the
merchants and others of our city to look
around them and see if they cannot do
some good in this way. 1 am assured that
there are many young men in this city who
would appreciate so useful a present as a
ticket of membership in the library. II
