AbOut Some Children.

About the first of this month a widow
woman by the name of Flynn, living in the
suburbs Of the city, died, leaving three
CHI ldren, the Oldest girl of twelve years,
and the youngest an infant. The little ones
were sent to st. Mary's Asylum, but on tie
9th inst. Mr.. Clark, teacher in the Nash
vile University, was appointed their guard
ian, and he at once applied 10 the Lady Su-
herior of the Asylum for the children, hut
he was told t"ey would not be given up,
except Oh writ of habess corpus. Another
application was made the next day, TO meet
with the same lack of success. On Satur-
day last he had writ issued, purposing to
have it served Monday, but was informed,
early in the day, that the chi dren would be
given up if he would show his guardian
shis papers and an order from the County
Judge. These conditions were complied
with, and the children were placed in his
care YESTERDAY,

salfel d PreLaer,s brewery.

To the Union and American:
We have been not a little abused during
the past few weeks in the daily papers
about our lager beer brewery in South
Nashville, and We have thus far been silent.
Our brewery was erected in this city in 1856
at cost of $4,000. Our improvements
and fixtures since have involved an eXpen-
diture of $4,000. Our cellars hsve cost us
$4,000. We pay our hands $1,000 per
month. We purchase annually 10000 bush
hels of barley, and $1,000 worth Of wood
and coal. We pay the corporation $3.50 for
water alone per year. We desire to keep
money at home, and not make it necessary
for the people TO send their money to Gin
cinnatl for beer; and we do not like to be
abused in tie newspapers without cause.
We have made covered Sc Rer from our
brewery to the corporation sewer. Can we
be required to do more? If the sewers
built by the corporation are not properly
covered or constructed, are we to be CELL
sured? We are anxious that comprehen-
siVe system of sewerage should be adopted,
and are ready to pay our full share of the
taxes; but while we are doing our best to
promote the prosperity of the city, as well
as to make money for ourselves, we do not
like to have any unreasonable burdens
placed upon US.

A Word that Covers the Case.

Our friend B. +. S., of Lowryville, Har-
din county, writing on the 18th inst. says:
81 tell them 1.-THE people] the UNION AND
AMERICAN is standard of intelligence in
every f,mily-it is cheap tuitioD-it edu-
Gates and improves our children; they love
to read it; they read of crime and learn early
to hate it; to a great extent 1t influences
their future lives. May your paper receive
more subscribers daily-msy its subscrip-
ton list be swelled until it will bear record
of all our names, that darkness may give
way to light is the wish of yours"
We are grateful for this high appreciation
of our earnes, efforts TO make the UNION
AND AMERICAN welcome, but indispensa-
bic to every household in Tennessee,
where intelligence, virtue and patriotism
besr sway.

The Municipal Canxasa-

To the Union and American:
In short time we shall be called upon
to elect our municipal and possibly other
officers, and at this particular time it be-
hooves us to secure the services of capable,
honest, brave-hearted men-men esteemed
in the community for their intelligence, in
tegrity and unsel6sh patriotism. To effect
this something has to be done. The con-
Vention system, as managed in the past few
years, is justly in bad repute, and after all
1t is not the fault Of the system, but the
gross indifference and neglect of the people,
They have it in their power to make
it eminently respectable and effective,
and j: ths truth is, we will be
driven to do as they have done in Virginia
where they have especially in Richmondj
overturned heavy Radical majorities, sim
where we have a very decided Conserva-
tive majority, has been that only about
three to seven per cent. of the voting popu-
lation have taken sufficient interest in the
ward and district meetings, (where dele
gates to conventions are chosen and nomi-
nations are sometimes made) TO attend,
and it is too often the case that a few
chronic Office hunters manipulate these
meetings and the result is shown in the in
glorious defeat Of the Irregular ticke,.," 40
called.-WhyP-Simply because 1t Sss "too
thin"
Now for a remedy: l would suggest the
immediate organization of clubs in the sew
eral wards and districts, and let each voter
manifest his interest in our affairs by turn
ing out to these meetings and see that true
and tried men, thcss who rise above per-
sonal interests and who will do their duty
fearlessly and in good faith, are chosen as
the regular Candidates. Without this re-
form we may look for ignominious disaster.
Last year you were pleased to call the
class to which l belonged ''Disorganizers.
1t was misuCmer. 1t was not organize
ton that we fought, but the lack of it. Our
experience hes been costly. Let us profit
by it.
l, though an humble citizan, am ready to
"spend and be sps!ll2 to secure ticket
that will insure pelfecs harmony, thereby
shutting out sll independent tickets, and
above all, givs us men for office who, like
Caesars wife, are not only pure, but above
suspicion. ORGANIZATIONS

The Family Across the wsy.,,

To the Union and American:
No! they are not German. | mean the
"family across the way" so Interestingly al
luded to by your correspondent, "Paste, !" in
Sundays issue. They are English, the "Old
Cobbler" and his wife, and the children are
their own little ones. too, have seen the
flowers, ''the cigar boxes and discarded
fruit and oyster cans serving as flower
pots" / live there-I mssn stay in the
house with "the long, wide verandah," and
l have taken strange pleasure in stud, ing
the "Old CObbler" and his family.
80, Sir?" she said to me, 1--WE are a
long way from home; We came from Lon
don, sir. We thought We could do better
in this new country, so We brought our little
ones with us and found work for Our bow.
1t is great pleasure tCO, Sir, TO have him
near us. We all do what we can TO get
along; "father' is feeble and l must be
busy you know, it takes all We can get to
pay our rents and live, but l am coutented
and thankful. Please, Sir, when you have
any work to do, give it to my hus-
band and We will be very thank
full And yet this roor cobbler's
wife cultivates he: pretty flowe and finds
time "With her thin trembling hand resting
upon the shoulder of her sweet little daueh-
teri to admire the budding flowers of her
own careful nursing, and talk in gentle
motherly accents of her floral pets. There
is something beautiful in this. True, she is
but ''poor coBier's" wife. True, she has
never inhaled the sweet scented atmosphere
of high life. True, no glittering gems
adorn her person, nor do nesting silks
break in satisfactory accents upon her list
ening ear, but there is a soul within, that
is of the distant fowery land "over the
river" She loves nature-God's own
and methnks when see the sweet affec-
ton Of othe poor cobbler's" wife for her
flowers and her little ones l would rather
be her in all natures simplicity and chris
tian contentedneSs than the towering lord |
E'wiih conscience sting" moving towards |
the land where there are no flowers, but |
where all is night and wretchedness.

New Fire Plug.

= Yesterday afternoon, Capt. Stockell had
the engines Hamilton and Stockell out, for
the purpose of testing the capacity of new
fire plug, on the corner of Market and
Church streets. 1t was found that full
supply of water for both engines could be
obtained from this plug, and there can be no
doubt but that it would be an act of econo-
my for the city to place these plugs on all
the low points about the city, as great
saving in the wear and tear of hose would
thereby be effected

I'm a Critical condition.

Persons who returned to the city yester-
day from Beersheba report DR.. John D.
Winston in a critical condition, and it was
feared that be would not live throughout
the day. He has been in feeble health for
some years past, but no serious spprehen-
sions existed until within the last few
days, when it was discovered that he was
rapidly sinking. From the information at
hand, we think it likely that death has re-
lisved him of his suferings before this par
agraph is read.
