A correspondent OF the Nashville
Rural Sun says that more people die IN
Il year or ten years in Nashville, ac-
cording to population, than in amy
other city on this continent. In TACT,
says this correspondent, the death rate
shows more fatal sickness in the capital
Of our State, upon an average, than III
Calcutta, which is a hot, unhealthy
district. We quote AS follows from
the communication
In tropical Bengal, Of which Calcut.
ia is the capital, where cholera had its
origin, it prevails every month in the
year. AT no time have the deaths III
Calcutta exceeded four per cent. OF 1T
population in Il year; yet in lo66 tn
city lost over six per cent. OF It's IN
habitants by death, or fifty per cen
more than died. in the worst years in
Calcutta.
Now for the cause Of this high death
rate in Nashville. The city stands OF
almost 4 naked limestone rock, in ;
pretty damp climate.
Common earth, like clay, sand gravel
loan and mold, has great powers to
take in all manure or dccomposlnG
vegetable and animal matters. and hold
them with remarkable tenacity. This
affinity Of clay for fertilizers tends to
purity the air and all spring and river
water. 1t is clear that . city standing
on an i%mpcrvious rock would be wholly
deprived of this advantage for absorb.
ING human cxcrcmcnts AID filth OF al
kinds. Hence the natural food OF
cholera, cholera morbus and cholera
inrantum would accumulate from year
10 year IN such city.
This is precisely what has taken
place in Nashville for the last fifty
years, and unless this bad practice is
changed for a better system, the city
will be some day abandoned as too
sickly to live or worG in.

Wealthy men are often credited with
greater riches than they possess, and
frequently, after dilligent inquiry into
their resources, find that they have set
too high n limit to their possessions.
1t therefore rarely happens that a man
astonishcs himsclfwith his own wealth /;
yet a little on du attributes u bit Of this
amazement to Mr.. A. Il. Stewart. 1t
Is probably generally known that Mr..
Stewart took steamer for Europe last
week. 1t is not generally known that
before his departure he made a will.
Prior to making this will it was thought
advisable to prepare n schedule of his
real and personal estate. with its yalu.
alton. Upon the completion Of the
schedule, much To the surprise Of Mr..
Stewart, and to the greater surprise of
his friends, it was found that he was
worth one hundred millions of dollars.
That any American citizen should be
possessed OF so great wealth almost
surpasses belief, but the truth of the
foregoing statement is well authenti
:ated.-[N. Y. Sun.
