DecorntIon Day-Postponement.

In consequence Of the very backward
spring, the ladies of the Memorial Associa-
ton find it impossible to procure flowers,
and have therefore deemed it advisable to
postpone the decoration of Confederate
graves until some time about the close Of
the present month, of which time due no.
tice will be given. 1t has been suggested
that it would be appropriate to have all the
Sunday school children of Nashville and
Edgefeld out on Decoration Day, and in
charge of their teachers, to march in pro-
cession through the cemeteries and strew
the graves with flowers. To see two or
Three thousand children in line, each bear
ing boquet, and marching in order along
the avenues where repose those dead heroes
would certainly be very beautiful way for
the observance of this sacred day.

Instance of Astonishing PrecOcity.
People living in and near the pretty and
thriving little town of Gainsboro, jackson
county. Tenn, are astonished at the some
what remarkable mathematical capacities
manifested by an infantile gentleman OF
that town now in the 9th year OF his age
Tho name of this promising nathaniel
clan is A. G. Settle, jr. He is well grown
for his age, and phys cslly well proportion
ed-being in fact fine looking, happy and
healthy child. He is not yet familiar with
the letters of the A. 3. G. aphsbet, but
will bet that he is better in figures than any
other 10 older boy in jackson or any other
county. For instance, be knows and recites
correctly the multiplication table, and read
ilv makes correct answers to the most diff
cnlt forms Of calculation given him.
Nashville gentleman lately ON
a visit to Gainsboro, told the boy that it
was seventy-five miles from Gainsboro to
Nashville. and how many yards made a
mile, and then asked him as 10 the number
of wards. feet and inches in that distance.
In Teplv. the boy, with but moments hest
tstion, said, 1872 900 yards, $4,000 feet,
4.752. 600 inches. He also answered COR
rectly as to how old in days ana hours
would be boy two years and six months
old, and made other astonishing disclosures 9s
As to his ability as a natural calculator. Ii

A Dogs Race with a Locomotive.

Passengers in The noon train Sunday on
the Boston and Providence road were quiet
ly interested in pointer dog. The canine
would not violate the rules which forbid
passengers to stand on the platform, and
be was too modest to enter the passenger
car, which was crowded, principally by la
dies. His master was in dilemma, and
before he had time to resolve what to do,
the train started, and so did the dog. The
locomotive whistle screeched, and the dog
yelped defiance as the racs began. At times
the ambitious animal would be ahead OF
the engine, and then he would fall behind.
Every window in the train had head or two
peering out watching the race, and all SYM
pathized with the dog. he seemed to real
lie that he was an object of interest, as he
would make an occasional squirt and show
terrific speed. Between the Heath street
station and Boylston the Stony Brook runs
under the railroad, and the bridge IS not
planked. The pointer went pell-mell be-
tween the guides and down into the stream:
But be as sudd, ply emerged and regained
the track, and reached Boylston just as the
train stopped. Had it been any otner Gay
than Sunday the dog would have been sA-
luted with hearty cheers by the ladies' and
gentlemen whose interest be excited. AS
It was, he gave three yelps for himself ana
almost upset his master, so glad was ne az
meeting him on terra frma.-B0Ston Tunes,

VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY.
The Location i'm west End.

The Location In WEST Emu
The College of Bishops yesterday went
out in carriages prepared for them, and
spent the forenoon in viewing proposed sites
for the Vanderbilt University. Litton Hill,
west of Nashville, was first examined, with
its grounds, groves, and grand prospects.
Then, crossing the river, our beautiful
nejghbor, Edgefield, was surveyed at two
or three points, including Confederate Hill
and the Hobson and Wheeless property.
Edgefield never looked more lovely. West
End never was more charming. Our visit
ors were delighted, and felt like they could
locate bali dozen colleges.
Accompanying the Bishops were several
members of the Board of Trustees now in
the city-Rev. Dr's Hunter, Winfield and
Donelly, of Arkansas; Judge Morgan snd
Rev. Mr.. johnson, of Memphis, and others.
Returning to their rooms, the Bishops de-
cided unanimously-all things considered
that the University ought to be located
west of Nashville, on that parcel Of ground
that lies between Hillsboro pike and Broad
| street extended, and known es the resi-
| dence of the lste Ben. Litton, with grounds
adjoining of the Elliston and Boyd tracts.
To pay for these beautiful and eligible
grounds is now the part that devolves on
Nashville; and our people should do it glad
ly and readily. Only $4,000 is required,
in addition to the amount of ground that
has been donated. The site includes 70
acres-not red too much.
Our people are not asked to build or to
endotc, nor to assist in doing either. Only
furnish the grounds on which the buildings
will be put up and where the endowment
will for all time elevate, ensure and cheaper
every department of education.
The endowment fund ought to be large
| for the wide and various work thai is to be
| done. 1t will be increased from abroad.
| Nashville is only asked for the ground. Ii
any one has liberal designs for endowirg
the University, or any branch of it, when
| it gets under way, now is the time for him
to do what he can. 1t will tell elsewhere;
it will be effective, doubly so. Every dol
lar given to pay for the grounds saves that
much of the fund to the endowment, and
caves our credit. Let US do our duty. This
| is not begging. We are to get value re-
| ceived ten times.
People at distance may hold back, to
| do something hereafter. What we do must
be done now. Let it not be said that the
| $500,000 fund had to be diminished to buy
the site. Nashville ought to present it, and
will. The buildings will not cost less thar
$4,000. That will be spent among US
and the perpetual endowment. Shall We
encourage such gifts or not? Will we make
Nashville the Athens of the South? Now
is our opportunity. What we do should be
| done quickly.
