the Brooklyntes were taken into camp by the New

Mutuals took the lead and maintained it

full freedom and playing remarkably
fine fielding game. In batting Allison
took the lead, making four clear hits, and he also
bore of the fielding honOrs from the Mutual Club.

BAD EFFECTS OF TOBACCO.

Speaking of narcotics, here is q lt'll book
on toOacco that contains some statements
calculated to set chewers, smokers, and
shutters to thinking. Professor John Liars,
of the Royal College of Surgeons, has in
vestigated the merits and dement's of the
weed very thoroughly, and the result is a
scientific little work in which he makes a
strong case against tobacco in all its forms.
On chemicI analysis of tobacco he finds
a large proportion OF the clement called
nicolina, colorless, liquid alkaloid, with an
acrid burning taste. The author says sit is
one of the most intense of all pOisons, ap-
proa hing in its activity the stroDges prep
aration of prussic acid" Another ele-
ment is nicolisnin, which be characterizes
as q poison of deadly poWer. As to the
physiological effects of tobacco, The author
has satisfied himself by long experience and
close observation, that they are rninous in
the last degree, but the physical injury re-
sulting from its use he thinks by no means
the greatest. He says ga danger of far
greaser interest to those concerned in the
preservation of the individual, is the entee-
element of the human mind, the loss OF the
pow er of intelligence and of moral energy;
in word, of the yigor OF the intellect"
The author cites large number Of cases of
paralysis, heart disease and other organic
disorders caused By the use OF the weed,
and gives it as his professional opinion that
tobacco, in all its forms, is most deleteri-
GUS drug" He dwells particularly on the
evil Of smoking in early youth, and on this
head probably not even the users of tobacco
will take issue with him.

A brilliant Reeenfinn

On Thursday night last 2 brilliant we'd
ding reception took place at the residence
of John W. Terrass, two miles south of the
city. His psla'ial residence on this occa-
sion was thrown open to the many friends
of the hospitable host and his bride, and 3
more magnificent reception has never been
witnessed in the county. The beautiful
lawn surrounding the house, and which is
noted for its many handsome trees, was
tastefully Lit up with Chinese lanterns,
while the bu lding itself was brilliantly IL
Illuminated and presented an attractive sp-
pearance. The bride and bridegroom on
this occasion bestowed every attention upon
their guests, and the large company present
felt perfectly at home under the hospitable
roof of the clever and esteemed host and
the accomplished and kind-hearted hostess.
Three bands of music were in attendance,
and dancing was continued until late
hour. A sumptuous feast was prepared for
the guests, the tables being filled with
everything that could be asked for. 1t was
near the hour Of morning when the con-
pany departed, and even then all regretted
that the bours of enjoyment could not be
prOtraCted longer.

A SHOCKING story comes from Afriea. a
treaty having recently been concluded be-
tween the King of Bonny and the King OF
Opobo, it was, in accordance with the an
cient custom, ratified by sacrificing slave
in very peculiar manner. From the
crown Of TIE head doEu over the trunk an
incision, as if for halving, was made; then
several stout men Sc zsd hold OF the victim,
while some others hacked the body along
the line indicated through the incision. One
half of the body the representative of King
Bonny, and the other half the AMBASSADOR
of King Opobo, flung into the sea, by which
the CONTRACT was considered irroYCcably
sealed. King Benny tried very earnestly to
avoid this useless and cruel part Of the GER
emory, but the Africans were not to be
dissuaded. The victim himself did not ap-
pear much disturbed by the fate in store for
him. His consolation was that his butch.
ers would be repaid with the same coin in
the next world.

The Vanderbilt University-Its Loca-
Ifnn

To the Union and American:
To be successful a city should be prosper
GUS in all its parts. 1t should show d
healthy growth in every direction, north,
east, west and south. We have in this city,
North Nashville, West Nashville and South
Nashville, and in few years We will have
East Nashville. II is true this last is now
called Edeeield; but in a short time free
bridge, gas and water privileges and other
obvious advantages will render the people
of that young and thriving town clamorous
for admission TO Nashville. Their request
being granted, we will then have "East
Nashville" Let Us now see how the in
centives to growth in cur midst are at pres
ent divided among the four grand sections.
North Nashville has the new cotton fac
tory, which is fast adding to the population
and wealth of that part of the city.
West Nashville has its magnificent ave-
nue. lined with princeIy residences, and also
the Fair Grounds.
South Nashville has already prosperous
University.
This leaves East Nashville or Edgefeld,
alone TO be provided for; and hence the
writer would assign to her the Vanderbilt
University. Thus each section Of our city
Will DS pIOfucu WILL AuyOItnbt lnSC0blNSo
to progress-there being no undue prepon-
dsrance of advantage in favor Of either;
and tie entire city will advance in its on
ward career without exciting jealGGsies on
the part of any.
Taking the Public Square as the centre
of Nashville, (snd property holders there
bad better give this matter serious atten-
tion) the location of the University in Edge
field will preserve the balance ofpower and
give to each section faif chance in the race
of progress. Placed at any of the other
points mentioned, it will give such an i'm
portant advantage 10 the point selected as
will materially impede the growth and pros.
perity of the others; and thus while one,
member ofthe c)rp0rat body will flourish
the others will decline, and there will be
no general he2lthful growth. Placed in
Edgeield, no such misfortune will occur,
but all sections would be benefited Slike.
Think of this when making your s0bscriP-
tions, and be governed accordingly.

A WEEK or two since little incident oc-
Cured at Cape Girardeau. A character,
noted somewhat for loafng around bar
rooms, was sitting in bis usual place of re-
card-table, killing time with the paste
boards. Suddenly his wife entered the
room, bearing a covered dish, which she
deposited Oh the table, with the remark:
"Presuming, husband, that you were to busy
to come home to dinner, l have brought
yours to you," and then departed. The
husband invited bis companions to share
his meal, and removed the lid from the
dish, revealing 10 smoking roast, but in
stead slip of paper, on which was written:
81 hope yon will enjoy your dinner; it is of
the same kind your family has at home"
