Put OfLong Enough.

lfthere is one good reason why Nashville
should not have first class city hospital
like all other cities of her size, we have not
another word TO say. Why cannot COM
bination be made with the Faculty of the
Medical College by which the beautiful
grounds and building ofthat Institution can
be used for a hospital as well as Medical
school.
Other places the size of Nashville spend
their fifties and hundreds of thousands of
dollars on public hospitals and ges ample re-
turn in increase population and wealth.
By the expenditure of few thousand dol
lars upon the Medical College building and
grounds splendid hospital could be put in
operation at cost Insignificant in proper
ton to the return. 1t certainly is the inter-
est Of the Medical faculty to cooperate with
the city in this enterprise, and give the use
of their building and medical services in
consideration of the clinical advantages to
their medical students. The prosperity and
development of place depend as much on
the day laborer and hard working men
with 10 means but his two strong hands,
as The moDeyed capitalist. And unless the
money lenders and property holders look
somewhat to the interest and comfort of
the lGboring poor, then money will lie in
the bank vaults n touched, and
their houses will stand untenanted.
No longer than the other day a mechanic
came to Nashville expecting to settle here
with his family, but declined on learning
that our hospital was badly located and
kept. He truthfully said: 81 might pat
sick, then my wages will stop; will of ne
cessity have to go to hospital to ba taken
care of, and l prefer to to settle in a city
where know these institutions are well
managed" What would Nashville be with
out her public school system, the chief
pride and glory Of her citizens? 1t is costly,
but what bountiful returns it gives each
one of us for the outlay. Our Howard.
Hume, and Hynes buildings are the bright
est jewels which adorn the coronet of our
triple hilled city. And there is not a CAPT.
talist nor property holder in the city who
would even dare to advocate the stoppsge
of the schools to retrench and pay off our
Hospitals can do as much
for our city In proportion to their extent as
schools. They invite population, they hu- |
mamie the deprsved, ameliorate the condi-
ton of the unfortunate, and repair the in |
juries of disease and accident. In times of |
epidemic and calamity, they become an abb |
solute necessity, andproye an incalcplabls
blessing.

Life Insurance at Home.

How completely the Blessings of life In
Surance is being illustrated daily even in
our very midst. How quietly and without os-
tentstiop some of our home companies car
~ out the objects of their organization.
None but those who are in daily intercourse
with the ofcers of such companies ever
have or can have any idea of the great
amount of good they are doing.
amidst all of the home life companies
established in the Sunny South within the
past five years, none stands better before
the community than the Widow and Or
phan Fund of this city, which has within
that period issued near forty five hundred
policies, iDsuring in The aggregate over eight
millions of dollars, md has paid 10 the heirs
of persons insured over one hundred and for
ty-ive thousand dollars, including five thou
sand on the life of the Lite E, II Ewirg,
and also policy on the life of Henry Ew
ing, of st. Louis; and for promptness and
ability to pay losses, the Widow and Orphan
Fund is equal TO the best of companies.
The premium rates of the company are
based upon the same experience as those of
the Oldest established companies, and all
persons desiring to insure their lives, or
those of their friends, viii do well to ex-
anime its claims foT patronage before insur-
ing elsewhere.
All persons desiring information are re-
specially invited to call at the Office of the
Company, second floor Lewis Block, corner
of Church and Summer streets.

The New Gas Company.

The Peoples Gas Light Company asked
the City Council long time ago for the
right of way through the streets of Nash
vile. After all sorts of delay their petition
was placed in the hands of committee
consisting of Messrs. Lindsey, Pentecost
and Douglas, who have pocketed it instead
of reporting on it as they should have done.
As the council meets on next Thursday, it
is desired by a great many citizens that
said petition be brought up and acted upon.
We wish to know who is for free trade, and
who is not, 80 that we may vote under
standingly at the next election. Gentle
men, come up and show hands. No dodg-
ing. MANY VOTERS.

CARD FROM e. F. MULLOY.
Declines to be a Candidate because
Not Eligible.

Declines to be a Candidate because
Not Eligible.
To the Union and Americans:
My apology for this communication is
that few weeks since faint call was
made on me to become candidate for
Councilman from the Second ward, since
which time the question has frequently been
propounded, care you going to run?"
NJ reply is, am not eligible. Upon ex-
aminiDg the law, l find it reads thus:
"The Board of Aldermen shall consist of
one member from each ward, and the Com
mon Council shall consist of two members
from each ward, and shall be elected by the
qualified voters of their respective wards"
'No person shall be eligible TO either the
Office of Alderman or Councilman unless
he be citizen of the State of Tennessee, a
bona tide citizen of the city, and a free
holder in the lOdrd for which he is elected,
and any Alderman or member of the Com
mon Council, after the election, ing
from, or cedSing to possess freehold
ESTATE in his ward, shall thereby Vacate
his said Office"
Now what does that mean? You must
be citizen of the State and city, and GER
tainly q resident Of the ward you propose
to represent, in order to give your fellow
citizens chance to vote for you, as they are
not allowed to vote out of their ward.
In the next place you must be free
holder, the bona tide possessor of free
hold ESTATE-TOt q fiction; few inches
of ground conveyed to you fer the special
purpose to make you eligible, tgoTl't do;
such device is nothing less than fraud
upon the statute, and as such is violation
of it; and, in contemplation of law, is not
of any more validity than no freehold at
all. Even after you are elected and Is Ike
your seat as member Of the City Council,
if you cease from any cause to be a free
holder in your ward, you cease to be any
more entitled to hold your office than II you
had died, although you might own q free
hold worth an hundred thousand in the sd-
joining ward.
You must reside in your ward in order
to represent it, for if yog remove out of it,
you cease to be eligible. What is residing in
the wards? 1t is having a place situated
therein were you retire to for rest after the
labors of the day are over.
Its but too manifest for the comfort of
some, that the trainers of the law meant
what they said and repeated so emphatical-
ly,not only that the party elected must be
bona fide resident of the ward he proposes
to>Tepresent, but that he m Ist also possess
freehold estate of some value-nOt of
StrdlC.
Our citizens seem to have ignored the
law in this respect heretofore, but the time
has come when it will recoil on them, ifper-
sisted ia.
l am not the bona fide owner Of q free |
hold estate in the Second Ward, and don't |
propose to become man of straw for the |
position, and shall not be a csud date.

About serenades and serenaders.

When Adoiphus reaches a certain aga, he
is possessed of violent desire to express his
high lmiration and love for Araminta by
collecting a small MOB together, proceeding
in company Herewith to the home of his
beloved st the very unreasonable nour of
twelve O'Clock in the night, when he places
bis musical squad uuuer her bed room win
dow and then arouses her from pleasant
dreams wherein new hats and things figure
prominently, by burst of sound which he
insaDely denomiDates music.
Aramints hears the rumpUs, rises from
her couch, and steals softly TO the window
clad N maidenly purity and single gar
ment. She partially opens the shutter, and
listens with beating heart to the manly
voice of her own adored, as, aided and
abetted by the others, he warb.es
in a peculiarly strained falsetto voics such
fitting melodies as "Maggie Darling
"Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming"
DIN the Hazel DELL" ETC., and these things
they continued to MARBLE until they have
aroused all the neighbors for q dozen
squares, and started to bowling all the dogs
residing within mile. The next morning
Adolphus and his coadjutors are hosrse.
Araminsa talks through her nose, (hsviDg
caught severe cold by remaining at the
window, and the neighbors who have been
cheated of their rest are all out of humor.
Prom bis earliest recollection, the writer
has considered .serenaders first class
nuisance-one that should be abated by Or
dinances of specially stringent character,
and he experiences feelings of the most ex-
quisite satisfaction in reading, or hearingof
cases where lunstics of that description are
bitten by dogs, have buckets of water
thrown on them, fall into wells, cisterns, or
bitches, or meet With any accident of that
character.

You say you love me, but love all alone.

But thisis all stuff. Do you mean to propose?

Why stop and look sheepish? there is nothing to

You men are such geese, only Belezbnb knows
The trouble you give us before you propose

You shipper and smile and whine me about
But this is not business, the horrid line goes,
Another one will have me if you don't propose.
You take all the airs OF man I've preferred;

This is not fair play; sure a fellow who shows
Such uncommon devotion should speak and
propose. .-

You'd give me world-only give me your hand;
