WAvz UNDuLAT1Na ACROSS THE CoSrI
.NENT.-The rasearohes Of the signal
Office have just been rewarded by a
beautiful and highly important nete-
geological discovery. On the ooast of
England, from time immemorial, the
phenomenon Of the great November at
mospherio wuse has been the speculation
of scientists md seamen; but Sir John
HersoheI and others have supposed il
was peculiar and confined to England
and Western Europe. which it reaches
from the South Atlantic, and over which
it rolls in long continued undulatiqns
from October to January, constituting
an important element in the pher omcnal
character OF European winter. On the
18th OF November similar atmospheric
wave began to break over tho shores of
Oregon and British Columbia, us shown
by the weather kilograms. BY the even
ing OF the 18th it hnd spread over nearly
all OF the Pacific States und Territories,
Utah and Nevada, and at mid night waa
pouring through the passes of the Rock ?
Mountains. On Thursday, the 14th, II
descended upon Colorado, Nebraska,
Kansas and the Indian Territory. On
Friday morning it extended in uubroken
magnitude and magniGcence from Ore
gon and Washington Territory Eastward
through the great trough or depression II
of the Rocky Mountain back- bono TO
Idaho and Montana. aud stratched
thence to the Lower Missouri and Lo wer
Mississippi valleys and over the Western
shores of the Mexican Gulf. This dis
covery will enable meteorologists to
anticipate, by many days, tho sppruach
OF winter, as it advances from the Pucitic
coast Eastward in the great current OF
Westerly winds. It serves to clear III,
the old mystery of American winter
storms, showing that they originate in
the Rocky Mountains, upon whose cold

Colorado and Southern Wyoming the

over the warm Pacific, is now seen to be

HmoYing Up.

We understand that Mr.. Jas. A. Mcclure,
the music king of Union street, has leased one
of the new magnificent stores in the Beech
Block, on Cherry street adjoining the Max
well. He proposes to move Sept. i, in full
time for the fall campaign. Friend Mac
has occupied his old stand on Union for
generation past, now twenty years; aud it
is with pang of regret that he must aban-
don the scene of early struggles and later
triumphs-an emporium that be has made
familiar to amateurs throughout the South
west, and where by eleverness and straight
dealing he has built up business that now
compels him to leave it, for lack OF room.
For some time past he has been ''cribbed
cabined and confines" Sin those dear old quar-
ters, advertising a Temple of Music and car
rying a stock of $100, 700, with little oppor-
tunity for display. But in his new place,
with its ample dimensions, airy aspect and
lightsome floors, he viii array a wealth OF
mdterieL as rich and varied as can be found
between Philadelphia and New Orleans-a
genuine Temple of Music, and an orna-
ment to our growing metropolitan city.
For this move uptown is but one OF the
many indications Of the new era OF expan-
sion upon which Nashville has entered, re-
cognizing its capabilities and arr1ing for
future usefulness.

calico Rail af Beersheba.

In the present weather and dearth OF
amusements, our readers will be delighted
to see the announcement, in our advertis-
ing columns, of a fancy ball at Beersheba
Springs, on the evening of Thursday, July
25. The occasion win be more than usual
ty interesting, from the fact the projectors of
lhe entertainment contemplate the avoid
ance of all the expense attending fancy
balls. 1t will furnish GOOD opportunity to
our beaux and bellies to exhibit their inge-
nuiiy in devising costumes that shall cost
nothing. The whole affair will be in every
way pleasant, and our citizens, of course,
will! avail themselves of it.
There is large company now at the
Springs, all Of whom are emphatic in their
expressions of satisfaction at the manner in
which Messrs. S. NJ. Scott & Co., conduct
the hotel.
We do not require any prophet to pre-
dict grand time at the Celico Ball.
The facilities for reaching Beersheba are
better now than they have ever been. Pas
sengers by way of MeMinDville and by
Tracy City, will find good stages with ae
commodating drivers, and will reach the
Springs by sunset. jyl7 Il sunday Il

AS a contrast to the case of Miss Barber,
who married the Sioux chief "Squatting
Bear" and whose doleful story has gone
the rounds of the papers, New York
journal tells us of Miss Ayres, of PhiadeF
phia. When Col. Downing, Chief of the
Cher okees, was in Philadelphia, his elo-
uuence so impressed Miss Ayres that, disre-
garding the remonstrances of her friends,
she resolved to cast her lot with the ''noble
red men," She established her home at
the beautiful Cherokee village of Talequah.
Here she instructed the people, and devoted
herself to advancing their religious training
and their educational interests. She soon
became Lady Bountiful among the Indi-
ans, and by the friendship of the grateful
chief, Col. Downing, was able to effect
much good. When the Indian wife of Col.
Downing died, she married him and now is
Queen of the Cherokees, and apparently as
happy as poor Miss Barber is miserable.

To the Editor of the Union and American.
At the request of many admirers of the
Hobson Chapel Sunday school, the concert
given by them 2 few weeks back was re-
peated last Friday evening to a large and
appreciative audience. Having enjoyed my
previous visit so finely l accepted with
pleasure cordial invitation to witness its
repetition. The evening was most auspic-
ious for the occasion. ....
The exercises of the evening were open
ed by music. ave come with glad ac-
claim" by the school, with the Misses Lit
ton at the organ; followed by reading ex-
ercises, leo by the pastor, Rev. j. w. Hill,
closing with a chant of the Lords Prayer,
which was excellent. The salutatory adj
dress by Master Willie Roberts, a youth Of
twelve, was delivered in a most manly
style. Music, "My Sabbath Home" by
Mrs. P, the Misses L., Miss n.

Prof. Geo. D. Hughes, Superintendent Of
the school, delivered a short address on the
prosperity of the Sunday school, which was
followed by music-"WhosoeYe Feareth'
after which a short recess was given,
which was taken advantage fly The young
ladies and gentlemen to do alittle talking fol
themselves.
The class recitation of the "Command
ments," under Graham, was very good
Also, was the Sunday school Recruiters, by
Messrs. PetWay, McGaVock, Vaughn anC

But as usual, the best always comes neal
the close. 1t was the recitation. "Floral,

subject, and was rewarded by the audience
with perfect shower of boquets.

Mxsterious Murder.

The dead body of an old colored man
named Brice Burris was found last Wednes-
day night near Oakland Mills, Obion coun-

gashes as if made with knife, the jaws
were shattered and the skull broken in three
or four places, showing that a club had
been used for this purpose by the party
committing the foul deed. The citizens in
the neighborhood are much agitated about
this murder and will make an effort to dis
cover the pe!petrator of the deed.
