Morning found us at Nashville
The Legislature was in session. and
our visit to the finest State house in
the whole country was a most enjOya-
BILE one. | found Governor Brown to
be alive to the material development
af the State, and he is axerting his in
fuence to secure the introduction of
capital and settlers. The debt of Ten
nessee and the muddled condition of
titles to the mountain lands, have had
a tendency to retard the growth and
prosperity of the State as regards the
development of her mineral resources,
although the debt of Tennessee is
large. when compared with other
Southern States the taxes are less than
In many of the Northern States, so |
do not consider this a serious draw
back. when the valuation of property is
so low and the extent and quality of
her coal and iron greater than at the
North. In the Southern tier of coun-
ties the titles to property are much
more perfect than in Middle Tennes-
sec. Those who face the ausle now
and secure these mineral lands Will
have great advantage, for, as far as
my observation has extended, the
signs of the times would seem to indi-
cate general rush to this favored re-
gion at no distant day. Mr.. Stone,
Secretary of the Tennessee Immigrant
Association. paid me every attention,
as he will to all those who give him a
call. He informed me several Nor
thern families have located uear the

0fthe venerable Father Of Israel, I"

Ofthe venerable Father Of Israel, I"
the Columbus Sun says:
This venerable and wonderful man
is very near ninety years of age. In a
short talk that he made in ST. Luke's
church, last Sunday, he stated he had
been preaching sixty-eight Years, and
if he lived until the 10Th of August
next he will have been member of
the church seventy years, and the 24th
of the same month he will have at
tanned his eighty-ninth birthday. His
only regret, in this connection, is that
he did not sooner embrace religion
Sunday before last he preached for
cible sermon, of nearly an hour aud a
half duration, and yet did not show
any sign Of exhaustion. His voice re-
tains all its strength and volume.-At-

The City Of San Salvador Destroyed y
by an Earfhqaake..ss. - ,ss.lsi
Eight Hundred Persons Killed. Twelve
Millions Worth Of Property
Destroyed.

AsPENwALL, April ), via HavaHa
April lO.-The city of San Salvador.
Central America has been destroyed
by an earthquake. Eight hundred
persons perished, and $12, ,000, ,0O0w
of property was destroyed. The earth
quake was followed by eonfagration,
and many buildings we're burned.
Earthquake.
For a few days slight shocks of
earthquake had occurred, but no serious
apprehensions were entertained. 1t
was on the afternoon of the 4th OF
March. about half past four, when, al
most without warning, a great part of
the city was reduced TO little more
than ruins. The ground heaved as a
ship in a gale; terrific thunderings
burst from under foot; walls tottered
and were rent in many places with
crevices; roofs sunk and tiles. ete.,
were precipitated to the ground; lamps,
plthcers, basins, glass, etc, were over
turned and broken. Three violent
shocks followed in succession, and the
servants commenced to scream piteOus-
ly, and could not be pacifed. Wild
birds flew to the houses; horses grew
frantic in the stables, and dogs howl
ing, skunk for protection. Every few
minutes shakings of less violence Oc-
cured The scene beggars descrip-
ton; ruined houses, anic-stricken
people, men, women and children
fleeing to the fields with valuables
hastily collected; then the ringing of
the alarm bells and the beating of
drums, calling all the soldiers under
arms, for, in San Salvador, murder and
pillage accompany the confusion Of
great earthquakes, and as frightened
citizens leave town, dusky Indians
from the forest, prowl for prey into il,
only checked by the bayOnets of gov
ernment troops. These were posted in
squads at short distances all over San
Salvador.

IMPROVEMENT OF RANCID BUTTER.
According to Land and Water, rancid
butter can be greatly improved in quail
ity by washing it thoroughly in lime
water, and then clearing out the lime
water by good washing ia cold spring
water. The lime water is easily made
by allowing lump Of line the size Of
the fist to slake in bucket of water
stirring it vel, and atterward allowing
the lime to settle. 1t is said that q
large business is now done in England
by sundry persons, who purchase ran
cid butter at low rates and sell il again
at much higher prices, after manipu-
lating it in the manner mentioned,

Sunday, when the weather Is clear and
bright, as il was yesterday, is great
day on the river Elbe. The steamboats,
leave every hour during the morning,
thronged with men, women and chill
dren, for the various gardens on the
river, few miles above the city. Many
carry with them baskets Of refresh
ments, and make family picnics in the
woods, getting their supply Of beer from
the restaurants. Between I and 8
o'clock in the evening the boats com

river Just below us. They were joyful
and happy, and we did not see one that
appeared the least intoxicated. We have
yet TO see the first drunken mar in Ger
many, or one that was even boisterous
or noisy from the effects of liquor. In
deed, the people are singularly taciturn
and quiet; much more so than are the
Germans in America. Everybody APP
pears to be comfortable, well fed, clothed
and contented, but loud voice or
hearty laugh is seldom heard on the
street. Nor have we met with any beg
gars in Germany, nor any one who bore
the slightest appearance Of destitution.

Vienna Letter to Baltimore Americana
have before alluded to the fact that
women perform the hardest kind of la
boring work in Germany, but was not
prepared for the sights | have witnessed
today in Vienna. In America, mixing
mortar and carrying the hod is consid.
cred such hard work that few white men
can be fonnd willing to undertake it at
the present day. An immense building
near our hotel, occupying a whole block,
is in course Of erection, on which not
less than four hundred persons are en-
nlored. fully two hundred of whom are
women. All the hard laboring work is
done by women, such as making and
carving mortar in buckets on their
heads 10 the workmen, and handling the
brick. They are not allowed moment 5
leisure. several ovsrseers being on guard
"a keen them constantly in motion. We
found the same proportion Of women at
work on ali the new buildings, and there
must be many thousands Of them to-

what is IntiIt.

During the earlier visits of the royal
family to Balmoral, Prince Albert,
dressed in a very simple manner, was
crossing one of the Scotch lakes in a
steamer, and was curious to note every
thing relating to the management of the
vessel, and among other things, the
cooking. Approaching the galley"
where brawny Highlander was attend
ing to the culinary matters, he was at
tracted by the savery odors of com.
pound known by the Scotsmen as
hodge-podge' which the Highlander
was preparing.
"What is that2" asked the Prince,
who was not known to the cook.
Hodge-podge, sill" was the reply.
How is it nader was the next ques-
ton.
why, there's mutton intil't, and tur-
nips intilt, and --"
"Yes, yes" said the Prince, who had
not learned that intirt' means into
it," expressed by the contraction
"intilt," but what is intilt2pl
why, there's mutton intil't, and tur-
nips intil't, and carrots intift, and tur-
nips intil't, and" H
"Yes, see; but what is intilt2'
The man looked at him, and, seeing
that the Prince was serious, replied;
"There's mutton intil't, and turnips
intilt, and"
"Yes, certainly,I know" urged the
inquirer; but what is intilt-intiltY
"Ye darf gowkF' yelled the High
lander, brandishing his big spoon, am l
ma tellin' ye what's intilt2 There's
mutton intil't and"
Here the interview was brought to a
close by one of the Princes suite, who
was fortunately passing, who stepped in
to save His Royal Highness from being
raped over the, head with a big spoen
in his search for information from the
cook. - a. 90. 81, .--a - -..

From the New York Tribune. June 6.l
About four years ago Paolo Porta in
vented at Milan, Italy, a selfsupporting
ladder Of great simplicity, strength and
utility. 1t has been adopted by many
Italian cities. After two or three pre-
liminary private trials it was publicly
tested in front ofthe new courthouse yes
terday. The ladders are made in sec.
tons about twelve feet long, and the
Lowest section isattached to an apparatus
on the truck by which il can be elevated
to any required angle. The remaining
sections are attached one after another
TO this, and . windlass then hoists the
lower section, and with il the rest. By
arrangement Of iron rods at either side
OF the ladders, balustrade is raised
along the ladders which gives TO the com
bination its great strength. The speci-
mems exhibited yesterday we're 70 and
1876 feet long. The latter was put to-
gether in about one and half minutes,
and rapidly drawn up to the required
angle, where il sustained, without strain,
six or eight men distributed along its
length One man, near the top of this,
was let down with the ladder, the struc-
ture standing readily the strain Of the
leverage. Several minutes we're occu-
pied in throwing the long ladder to-
gether and drawing it up. When the
firemen mounted to its summit the
spectacle was a fearful one, but the lad
der withstood the strain. A canvas bag
or basket was hoisted by means of
rope and tackle nearly to the summit,
and the truck was wheeled around aud
the men landed on the roof Of the city
hall. A hose was also carried nearly to
the top of the ladder, and a stream Of
water thrown upon the roof of the new
courthouse. l aW lHAUA GtYt
N Experts state that the apparatus is
capable OF great Improvement, but that
the idea is valuable enc. The longest
combination ladders used by the hook
and ladder companies of the city are
about eighty feet, are much more clum-
silly put together, and have to depend on
walls (which are often, insecure) for
their support, from which necessity
serious accidents often occur, as was the
case at the great Boston fire. The lad
der is also said to be useful in the place
of scaffolding in many cases, especially
where crumbling walls, chimheys, ETC.,
have to be demolished.

Bayazd Taylor Letter from Florence to N.
Y. Tribune.
The other day, crossing the Pente
Trinita, met his ex-Majesty, Don
Amadeo, of Spain. He was walking
alone, and had bunch Of violets in his
button-hole. He looked neither to the
right nor the left, as be passed me; his
vacant eyes stared into vacancy His
face was pale, haggard, and positively
unhappy, and / could not help feeling a
foolish sympathy with disappointment
so real to him, and so very unreal to
most other persons. A few boys scam
pered after him. just as they used to do
after Fisk and his likes in broadway;
the Florentines came to their shop
doors, looked, pointed their fingers and
laughed; but no hats were taken of, and
nothing was further from anybody s
mind than to cheer. Yet Amadeos abb
dicstion seemed both honest and plucky,
and ] respected him for it, until heard
another Interpretation Of his design the
other day, which gives very different
coloring t. the whole transaction. In
any case, there was an immense deal of
hHmbug in the ceremonies Of welcome
which smoothed his return 10 Italy. The
House Of Savoy is deeply mortified, and
the people ere anything but enthusiastic.
