So mild as to be safe and beneficial to children, and yet so searching as to efectually purge out the great cor ruptions of the blood, such as the serofulous and syphiEtic contamination. Impurities, or diseases that have lurked in the system for years, soon yield to this powerful anti dote, and disappear.

 It is an excellent restorer of health and strength in the Spring. By renewing the appetite and vigor of the digestive organs, is dissipates the depression and listless Ian guor of the season. Even where no disorder appears, people feel better, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. The system moves on with renewed vigor and new la~ of life.

Ayers HairVigor, For restoring to Gray Hair it's natural Vitality and Color.

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thiekened, falling hair checked, and badness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are de- stroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed; but such as remain can be saved by this application, and stimu- lated into activity, so that a new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi- ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent badness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the forma- tion of dandruff, which is often so un- cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and iniu- rious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume.

ART Gallery.

When a person has his or her picture
taken, it is certainly desired that a good
looking, and as lear perfect a resemblance
of the original as possible, be obtained.
Now the place is found-a splendid Art
Gallery-one where the best instruments,
both for taking and cOloring and getting up
the minor parts of Photographs, pearl pic
lures, daguerotypes, etc, are used by skilled
workmeD, and never fail TO give the highest
satisfaction. We allude to the gallery Of
Mr.. Gail G. Giers, 10. ID Union street,
Nashville, TEN. Dir. Giers is now on a
trip TO Europe with the design to perfect
himself in his art. Meanwhile the cour-
teous and clever Col. Lee CrandalI, of whom
our readers Have seen notices in our col
umns, has charge Of the gallery, and with
habitual energy directs the numerocs ar
lists in the establishment. Those who visit
Nashville are expressly advised to visit Col.
Crsndsll's gallery, and see Tor themselves
the almost perfect material, and his splen-
did specimens. We hardly know whether
they will be pleased most with Col. Gran
dali or the good pictures with hich he will
furnish them.

Nashville Progress

To the Union and American:
NASHVILLE, July 10, 1S73.-In glancing
over late PittsbUrg paper we we're struck
with an advertisement which contrasts
strongly with the policy pursued by the
moDeyed men of Nashville. The said ed.
vertisemeDt proposed to sell lots in the
suburb Of MOntrose, tc mechanics, on ff-
teen gears time or less, the owner of the
lots to build house on each lot so soon as
oDe-halt the purchase money was paid, thus
giving the mechanic desiring q homo
chance TO obtain one. 1t is by this liberal
policy on the part Of moneyed men of
Northern cities that their cities are built
Up. How is il with us? Here we hear the
continual cry of "build up the city," Sim
migration, immigration is what we need"
And this, too, in the face of the fact that
there are hundreds Of honest, hald-Work-
ing mechanics, who would willingly pur-
chase home and pay for it in monthly in
stallments, did our men of capital give them
an opportunity. How is it that cities are
built up? Is it ny Investing in government
bonds, with gold interest, or by building
houses so that laboring men can call Nash
vile home? The penny wise and pound
foolish policy of our capitalists has kept
Nashville in the background, and will do
50, until they open their eyes to the needs
of the workingmen. There are hundreds
of mechanics in Nashville who would vii.
lingly pledge a portion Of their monthly
pay to secure a home for themselves and
children, had they but the chance; bat rath-
er than trust an honest laboring man, the
owners Of lots prefer to pay taxes on va
cant lots, and wonder why the city does
not increase in population. Fer5un sap.

would wheel up chunks of coal and brim-
stone and dump 'em off into this lake.

COny entiOn of County Superinten
denis.

The State Superintendent of Public In
struction, yesterday, issued the following
postal notice and invitation to each of the
County Superintendent in the State:
STATE SUPERINTENDENT OFFICE,
Nashville, July Is, 1873. Dear Sir:-I have
appointed County Superintendent meet
iDgs fo- the following places and times:
Trenton, (West,) July, oath inst.
Murfreesboro, (Middle,) July, 29th inst.
Knoxville, (East0 August, 1st prox.
You are invited to attend all the meetings,
but especially urged TO be present at the
one called for your Division cf the State.
Please signify yOnr intention by return
mail. JNo. NJ. FLEMING.
State Superintendent.
The Importance of having meeting for
conference, on the part of the School Super
in;endents, can be seen at glance; indeed,
it would seem as though 10 effective school
system can he established without such a
meeting.
We believe that all the counties in the
State are now provided With Superintend-
ents, but these gentlemen are, as general
thing, entirely unacquainted with one an
other and with the peculiar ideas held by
each relative TO his duties and educational
matters generally.
Il will be seen that the State Superintend-
ent has provided for meetings in each of the
grand divisions of the State, at all of which
meetings he will be present, and it is hoped
that he will have the pleasure of greeting
every County Superintendent in che State.
