APIeasant Retreat.

A correspondent, now sojourning at
White Bluff, writes to the UNION AND
AMERICAN as follows:
"White Rluff is quite a modern village,
having risen to its present growth since The
close of the war. It now contains post
office, railroad depot church and school
house, an extensive saw and grist mill,
with seven stores, one saloon, two black
smith and wagon shops, one boot and shoe
maker shop, and one doctor shop 1t is
about 275 feet above the cupola Of the State
Capitol, with Harpeth River lying on the
east and north, Jones' Creek on the south,
the two latter being famous for their front.
The White Bluff HoJel, kept by Mr.. and
Mrs. Reynolds, is a good place to stop st,
the fare being excellent and prices moderate.
For invalids seeking heslth ard repose, few
places surpass White Bluff, from its high
elevation, and the rare andk beautiful supply
of medicinal herbs and vegetation that
surround H."

Na.hvtIIe Boy az Notre Dame.

The Scholastic, paper devoted to the
interests of the students at Notre Dame,
thus refers to the character Of Genaro, the
Shepherd King, personated by .. Water
man of this city, in drama st the closing
exercises of The school:
The whole interest Of the play rested on
Genaro, the shepherd king, the only diff
cult part in the play, and the only one that
required real dramatic talent 10 form q
true conception Of the character, and real
ability to present it on The sage, Genaro
was well supported by Valerie, Alberto and
the pessants,-ch2racters which though
secondary, II qaied considerable spprecis-
ton both of The serious and the humorous,
to be well represented on the stage before
such criticising audience as the one com
posed of their fellow Juniors and the stu
dents of the Senior Department. But if
well supported, Gensro crowned the work
by the unaffected but most affecting man

praise one 10 the apparent deprecia-
ton Of others, and we do
no. do so when we give greater need OF
praise 10 Gensro than to the rest. They
did as well as their parts allowed them, and
it may be that there were s0me that had
minor parts who could have played Genaro
as we'll as the young st. Cecilisn who had
the honor of being the star that evening.
But be was the one who did act, and who
acquitted himself well, and hence our praise
is due to him, as it would be to any other
Young student who would 30 IS well IS he

emotions of the mind quicker, and, at
times, more wildly than words; naturally
graceful gestures, and quick appreciation
of character. We sincerely bofe that the
talents lie displayed, as well as the advsh-
tsges he may derive from such dramatic
and elccufionary exercises, may be employ

HUmORs OF PROHIBITION.

A lady but lately settled in Concord, New
Hampshire-relstes the Patriot of that city
went into drug store and innocently asked
for pint Of alcohol to be used in spirit
lamp. "Have you prescription? inquired
the clerk politely. "a what ?" asked the
lsdy, in surprise. ga prescription from a
physican!" explained the clerk, eve are
not allowed to sell alcohol unless 1t is Or
dered by physician" "Not even alcohol"
said the astonished customer. Well, that is
strange, was not aware that any one ever
drank pure alchohol as a beverage" "Very
true. | think myself that such aregulation
is ridiculous, but we must obey it. am
sorry if you are inconvenienced, but can
not sell you any alcohol unles. you bring a
prescription" The lady left the drug store,
and when last seen, in the middle of the
afternoon, was circulating around looking
for physician who would be willing to GER
tify that her spirit lamp was seriously i'll
vito some disease or other peculiar to lamps
at this season of the year-and that its case
was one requiring stimulsnts.

School Books.

To the Union and American:
In looking over some school books few
d,ys since, l found a Goodrich's Cbild's
Pictorial History. Supposing it to be one
of The Peter Farley series, l opened it with
some degree of pleasure and saw that it
purported to be written by Samuel G. Good
rich, "autbor of Peter Parley's Tales, Pic
torial Histories, etc." Published by E. h.
Butler d Co., Philadelphia, 1873. Turning
to the back of the book l saw this descrip-
ton OF the sea fight b,tween the Alabama
and the Kearsarge:
"Some English people had furnished the
enemy with war steamer, named the Ala.
bama, which sailed about the ocean, barn
ing llHdrn1ed american ships and keeping
out of the 1cdy of anything IUlich might ShOao
fight. The United States had sent several
vessels in pursuit of this craft, and on the
18th of June the Kearsarge had the good
luck to fall in with her off the coast Of
France. The two vessels were exactly
matched in guns. The Kearsarge sent the
Alabama to the bottom in exactly one
hour"
took breathing spell and then read a
little further about Sherman's march to At
lanta, until came to this sentence:
"Tbrough gorges and defiles, over noun.
tains, across rivers, fighting the enemy here,
flankipg him there and beating him GLoodyS,
the troops [of Shermanl advanced steadily
on"
put the book down under the impress
ion that it was not proper book for South
ern children. A FATHER.

Cur10sities of the Postal Service.
All sorts of strange things are being sent
to various parts of the country, daily,
through Uncle Sans mails. A represent
alive Of this paper was shown at the Nash
vile post office yesterday, package which
had become broken in some way, and
which contained bottle # alcohol in which
a singing lizard was preserved, and GOOD
sized paper box, inside Of which some live
creature could be heard scratching against
the sides Of bis dark prison, with enthusiasm
and strong pair Of claws. This was
doubtless a horned frog from the
wilds Of Texas. There is a law against
the sending of glass aud LIQUIDS through
the mails, but Of course they can be done
Up in package in a way to escape detec-
ton. The package alluded to was address
ed to young lady in this State. It does
seem as though man of ordinary intelli-
geBce, whose early moral training has not
been entirely neglected, might have selec-
ted more appropriate presents for Lady
friend. For instance, a -acelet, pair of
earrings, dress pattern, bundle of old
papers, a deed to a corner lot, or something
ofthat sort would have been much better
taste for present, than to send her liz
yards and frogs.

Sad.

Our readers remember the killing Of Jack
Radley, engineer on the Mississippi and
Tennessee Railroad, two weeks ago. At
the announcement of her husbands death,
Mrs. Radley was so overcome with gri 4,
thst she tainted. From the time she saw
the bloody corpse of him she loved, she has
been a raVing maniac, INDUCING in lamen-
tations that arouse the pity Of all who sea
her. A few mornings ago she was missed
from her home in Water Valley, Mississippi,
where she has resided, since her husbands
death, with sister. Search being made,
the miserable woman was found lying
across the grave of her muir dered husband.
Her pitiable cries attracted friends to the
graveyard, where, by the rays of the moon,
the pale mourner was found at the mound
of the dead. She was absent twenty-four
hours before being found and returned. 1t
is said that the poor woman's reason is de-
throned.- Memphis Appeal.
