At amecting held last night in the Battle
House of owners of property Oh Church
street, Col. Z. w. Cole presided:
The owners Of property on the North side
Of Church street, from McLemore to Vine,
were, with only one exception, reported il
favor Of widening the street, and those on
the South side were reported, with only one
or two exceptions, as also in favor of the
proposition, TO the Chattanooga depot.
DR.. SawIie thought there would be no
doubt of the trustees Of the old Female
Academy joining in the movement, and that
they would willingly donate the required
ground.
Mr.. John Lellyett was requested to draw
up petition to the city council, and did so,
as follows:
To the Mayor and City Council of Nash
ville.-We, the undersigned, owners OF real
estate on Church or Spring street, respect
fully petition your honorable body to pro
vide for widening the said street from Vine
street westward to the corporation line, IN
der the provisions of the act to amend the
charter Of the city of Nashville, passed Feb.
y, 1856. The petition will be in the office
Of DR.. Curry, 19l Church street, for sigma
lures.
On motion of DR.. Eve a committee was
appointed to obtain subscribers and esti-
mate the cost Of opening twenty feet on
the South side and five feet on the other.
The meeting then adjourned until next
Saturday evening, s O'Clock, same place.
A Nuisance that Ought TO be Abated
To the Editor of the Union and American:
We desire to make, through your valu-
able paper, an earnest appeal TO our City
Fathers to relieve and protect us from a
great nuisance at the corner of Vine and
Broad streets. There is a large excavation
which contains stagnGnt water that will
necessarily produce malaria and disease.
And from DR.. RedfOrd's residence on Vine
street to Broad street, beautiful thorough
fare Of the city, we have had no pavement
for nearly three years, and the ground upon
which we could have walked has for eight
cen months past been INSTRUCTED by the
rock and dirt thrown out of the above ex-
CavatiOn, so as to make it almost impassa-
BILE and very dangerous to pedestrians, and
thereby rendering the city daily liable for
heavy damages.
We have talked, begged and implored.
We have petitioned our authorities numer-
ously signed by our best citizens fo= relief.
We again appeal to them through you to
give Us only that protection that honest tax
payers are entitled to.

Thirty Years of study and NaOOr-
Success at last.
The New York correspondent of the
Reading Times and Dispatch writes thus
enthusiastically of a type-settiDg machine
just brought to perfection:
"Just as the great Morse, fOrty-fiVe years
ago, was developing his system of telegraph
in secret and alone; just as Fulton created
his steam engine in the solitude of al hum
bic apartment, so have l to-day seen a man
in New York who for thirty years has given
his life to one grand idea, and at last exhib-
its the happy contamination of his lsbOrs,
to-Wit: The setting of type by machinery.
Old, wrinkled and bent with Thoughts
unable to speak a word of English;
poor in this worlds possessions; the in
habi.ant of an attic, and sharing his room
with the curious creature Of his brain, there
he sits at this moment in front of row Of
piano keys, sending type into its place at
each touch, and reproducing the column of
a newspaper at the rate of 5000 'ems' an
hour, or in other words, doing more than
the average work Of four cOmpositOrs. 70
describe the machine in detail here is i'm
possible. Suffice it to say that it occupies
not more space than an ordinary
Dur6du3 ID OpSIdJOu W uCduLC
and is simple in construction. Attached
to it is an apparatus for justifying,'
and accompanying the whole is machine
for distributing Each Of these processes
are performed rapidly and correctly. The
beauty of the invention is its utility and
economy-the estimated cost not more than
5000 sum that will enable Well-tO-dO
compositors to own the apparatus, and thus
Eg-Nk, ky,,l I'D
None have yet been manufactured for sale,
but the largest publisher in New York has
given his order for forty as soon as a com
pany is organized for their introduction. 1t
may be months or years before practical
use is made of the revolution entirely-but
there it is, the practical solution of prob
lem that has worried the minds Of men for
a century.

Hlisfellang,
ABeautiful Incident.

The Intelligent horse very often SYM
pathizes with animals in distress About
year ago, dog was set upon by a
crowd of cruel boys, and pelted with
sticks and stones. The poor dog had
given no oiiense, but this mattered not.
He tried to escape from his tormentors,
and had nearly succeeded in doing so,
when stone hurled with great violence
struck him ON the fore leg, bruising the
flesh and fraeturing the leg. The ami
NAL howled piteously, but none of his
prosecutors went to his relief. Having
injured him, they turned carelessly and
coldly away, and left him to his fate.
The dog limped into the stable of Mr..
Edward fitzpatrick, moaning piteously.
In one of the stalls of the stable, was a
well bred young horse of more than or
binary intelligence. The distress of the
dog seemed to move the heart of the
horse to pity. He bent his head, caress-
ed the canine, and carefully inspected
the broken leg. Then with his fore feet
he pushed some clean straw into one cor
er of his stall, and made soft bed, on
which the dog was induced to lay HIM
self down. A close and affectionate in
timacy was at once established between
the horse and the dog. The horse was
being largely fed on bran mush, and one
day on receiving his feed, thinking the
dog might be hungry, the equine bowed
his head, caught the canine gently by the
skin Of the neck, and with the teeth lift
ed him gently into the trough, or box.
The dog fell to with hearty will, which
showed that his hunger was great, and
that his gratitude was equal to his appe-
tite. Days and weeks passed, and the
dog and horse continued firm friends.
The bran mash fed them both, and the
invalid grew strong and fat on the whole
some diet. At night, the two animals
thus strangely brought together, slept in
the most loving manner. The horse
would arrange soft bed for the dog,
and then lie down, and tenderly encircIe
the canine form with one of his fore legs
1t is seldom that such beautiful and
authentic incident is brought to our no
tice The horse showed for the unfortu-
nate more Of that feeling which we term
humanity than did the dozen lusty
youths, who were presumed to walk in
the image Of their God. Nay, it took
the poor victim of mans persecution to
its heart and home, and tenderly nursed
the same back to strength and health.
We claim to be practical rather than sem
timental, yet, we cannot resist the thought
thatthe horse revealed more evidence of
divine spirit than did the rude boys who
receive credit for having immortal souls.
While they reviled and prosecuted, he
played the part of the good Samaritan
and in SO doing he developed power of
thought and intelligence too broad to
occupy the contracted sphere of what we
commonly call instinct. The horse reas-
oned, and then acted like Christian
Tart, Field and Farm.

How TO GEL RID OF SUPERFLuous
FLEsH.-Halls journal of Health SAYS
Not long ago a gentleman of three
score who had hardly ever been sick in
his life thought he was too feshy and
began to Bantamize. He succeeded ia.
mously, and boasted to his friends that
he had got rid of ten pounds in few
weeks. A little later he was attacked
with painful and dangerous malady,
from which he has been suffering more
than year, If a man can sleep sound
iy, has good appetite, with no unpleas-
ant reminders after meals, the bodily
habits being regular every day, he had
better leave himself alone, whether he is
as big as hogshead, or as dry and thin
as fence rail. Several cases of Bright's
disease have been reported by medical
men of reputation, as direct result of
Bantings plan for getting lean. The
very best and safest way to get rid of fat
is to work it off. This may be aided by
eating food which contains a large
amount of nitrogen and small amount
of carbon. Nitrogen food is that which
gives strength, power to work, as lean
meats; carbonaceous foods are those
which make fat such as cheese, potatoes,
rice, corn, peas, beans, tapioca, arrow
root, corn-starch, milk, sugar, syrup, and
all oily and fat food. Raw fruit largely
eaten are great ends to reducing weight.
But, after all, the great reliance should
be in exercise in the open air. Barclay,
the great English pedestrian, who per-
formed greater feats than Weston, lost
ten pounds in two or three days, walk
ing, and was never the worse for it.

A TAME WAsP.-At the recent meet
ing of the British association in Bright
on, in the section Of zoology and botany,
Sir John Lubbock exhibited tame
wasp which had been in his possession for
about ten months, which he brought
with him from the Pyrenees. The wasp
was of social kind, and he took it in
its nest formed of twenty-seven cells, in
which there were fifteen eggs, and had
the wasp been allowed to remain there,
by this time there would have been
quite little colony of wasps. None of
the eggs, however, came to maturity, and
the wasp had laid no eggs since 1t came
into his possession. The wasp was now
quite tame, though at first it was rather
too ready with its sting. 1t now ate SUI
gar from his hand, and allowed him to
stroke it. The wasp had every appear
ance of health and happiness; and al
though it enjoyed an outing occasion
ly, it always returned to its bottle, which
it seemed to regard as a home. This
was the first tame wasp kept by itself he
ever heard of.

The VOICE OF THE SHELL.-When a
shell is held up to the ear, there is a
peculiar vibratory noise Philosophic-
ally investigated, the peculiar sound
thus recognized is phenomenon that
very much perplexed learned gentleman
for long while. The experiment is cas-
lily made by simply pressing a spiral
shell, common in collections, over the
cerebrum of either ear. If large shell,
the sound is very much like that of
far-of cataract. Now, what causes il?
Every muscle in the body is in state of
tension. Some are more on the stretch
than Others, particularly those of the
fingers. 1t is conceded that the vibra-
ton Of the fibers of those in the fingers
being communicated to the shell, it prop
agates and intensifies it, as the hollow
body of violin does the vibration of
its strings, and thus the acoustic nerve
receives the sonorus impressions. Mus
cles of the leg below the knee are said

COMETS AND THEIR TRAINs.-In dis.
cussing these erratic bodies, Professor
lollner starts with the fact that fluids
as water, mercury, and solids of nearly
all kinds, give off vapor of low tension,
though in too small quantity TO be rec
ognized by any tests with which we are
now acquainted. 1t therefore follows
that the masses scattered throughout
space are ultimately surrounded by an
atmosphere of their own vapor. If the
volume of such masses is too small to
exert sufficient attractive force to retain
this vapor, the whole mass ultimately
assumes the yaporous state. Professor
lollner thinks that many of the small
comets are such masses of vapor, while
others are fluid, consisting of water, or
perhaps of liquid hydrocarbus, an idea
which is fortified by the character of the
spectra of certain nebule, as well as of
some of the smaller comets.
Regarding the self-luminosity of COM
cts, and the formation of their trains.
Professor Zollner says there are but two
causes which can produce the first of
these results, viz: elevation of tempera-
lures and electric action. Setting the
first aside as being utterly inadequate
under the circumstances, the author
thinks the electricity developed by the
solar rays, either in process of eyapora-
ton, or by the mechanical or molecular
disturbance they produce, is amply suf-
ficient to cause the luminosity, and also
to form the train. The explanation here
given of the formation of the tails. or
trains, of comets, is exceedingly inge-
NOUS, for it not only applies in those in
stances In which the train is directed
toward the sun, acting under these cir
cumstances by repulsion, but it also ac-
counts for the fact that in some instanc-
es the tail is directed toward the sun.
there being under these circumstances
electrical attraction instead of repulsion.
