The April number of Scribner'S Monthly
is more than usually entertaining. The
opening paper, "An Hour Among the
Greenbacks," is very interesting. The IN
named author certainly writes from q
thorough acquaintance with his subject,
and gives, with the aid OF pictures, the best
account yet published of the workings Of
the currency Department. Miss ProctOr's
profusely illustrated description of 'Mos-
COW and Southern Russia" will be read
with peculiar interest at this time, as well
as the sketch of san Emperor's Vacation
at Vichy.' Among the illustrated papers
are an article on Americas prima donna,
Clara Louise Kellogg, with portrait, and
Gan Ancient American Civiliz ition," with
pictures of Peruvian antiquities. Besides
DIR. Hollands serial, "Arthur Bonnicastle,"
there is, by way of fiction, the beginning of
a very powerful story by SAKE Holm, 1.-The
Elders Wife," sequel to Draxg Miller's
Dowry; "Martin Leafs story" by Norman
Holm; "The Automaton-Esr," strange
romance, by Florence McLandburgh; and
"The Flea and the Professor" by Hans
Christian Andersen. Prof. Atwater, of
Princeton, ably discusses NEEDED Modid-
cations Oh our Currency and and Banking
SYSTEM" and among the poems we find
some striking verses by Mr.. Stedman, enti-
tied @Hypatia," and having reference to the
Woman-le lecturer of to-day. From George
MacD donald there is another beautiful traDs
lation from Novalis. In "Topics of the
Times" DR.. Holland writes of 'The Latin
Nations" "Clean Hands," Lord "Lytton,"
and "Party Virtue" The Old Cabinet
has a "Protest concerning Catalogues"
something about expression, etc. Home
and Society, Culture and Progress, Nature
and Science, and EtchiDgs, are perhaps
more interesting than usual. The May
number of Scribner'S opens the sixth vol
ume, and, as the publishers say. "This is
the time to subscribe" ScribDer d Co.,

The Westminster ReUieao for the January
quarter, opens with long paper on the
Gree drama, particularly of the produc-
tons of SophOcles, whose name, however,
in very pedantic spirit, is set down as
Sophokles. The papers which will attract
general readers are those on Parliamentary
Eloquence, brief and brilliant, but generally
correct in its criticism, and a historical es-
say on the Decline of the Old French Mon
archy, and the conclusion OF a
review of the Republicans Of
the Commonwealth, whichperished with
the death of Cromwell, though
the restoration of the Ssuarts did not take
place unit! eighteen months later. There
is a queruious article on the shortcomings
of the Gladstone administration. The con-
Guiding sixty pages of the Westminster are
occupied with those clever short notices of
contemporary literature which are respected
as much for their accuracy, as for the evil
dent care bestowed upon them. Reprinted
by the Leonard Scott Publishing Company,
New York.

Commodore Vanderbilt, who has recent.
" made such a liberal donation to our
State, is one of the first railroad men in the
United States. Under his management, The
New York Central and Hudson River Rail
road has grown to huge proportions, and
he is now negotiating for the laying of two
more tracks, making four in all, which will
give passenger and freight trains separate
tracks both ways, thus avoiding all possibil-
ity of collision. He also in the year 1866
organized the merchants Dispatch Fast
Freight Line, which has been in successful
operation ever since over his road.
Charles McCabe, for several years, East
ern agent of the 0. & NJ. railroad at Gin
Sinnati, has received the appointment of
Southern Passenger agent of the Nashville
and st. Louis and Chicago short line, with
headquarters in this city. Mr.. McCabe
arrived here last evening, and will enter a.
once upon his duties.
Mr.. Charles McCabe, Southern passenger
agent of the st. Louis and Southeastern
Railroad, is in the city. We understand
this gentleman has but recently assumed
the above position, whose duties he is so
we'll qualified to discharge by reason of his
railroad experience and many pleasant
qualities.
Mr.. j. c. Brown, of the Louisville
Courier. Journal, is in the city.
Hon. G. n. Tillmanw was able to be at his
seat in the House yesterday. BE is almost

The opening article of the April number,
"Public Charities" goes 10 show that re-
formatories and asylums for children and
unfortunates should be under religious con-
troll, and that unsectarianism begets indif-
ferentism as to morals as well as doctrine.
"Home Education" will prove interesting
to parents, while the ladies will delight in
the article about "Lace." An article emit
tied "An Abuse of Diplomatic Authority
complains of UnwarTanted interference with
missionaries in China and Japan by some
of Mr.. Grants superseryiceable emissaries.
"Poet and Martyr" is the sad story of
Robert Southwell, whose gentle muse
adorned the Elizabethan era, and whose
long sufGerings and final execution for con-
science sake are familiar to all lovers of our
literature. The editors frankness in Gan
Error Rectifed" is very commendable,
although we think the exact error ought to
be specific more distinctly than by merely
italicizing the four offending words. Most
of lay readers will want to know what con-
sti.utes the offence in this awkward squad
of italics. We are not all dialecsic theolo-
CLANS.

A TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD.
Action of the City COUNCIL Las. Nigh,

Action Of the City Council Last Night.
Both branches of the City Council met in
convention last night 10 pay tribute of re-
spect to the memory of ths late Justice
Wilkinson
President Winston in the chair.
President Winston and City Attorney
Martin madn brief speeches upon the life
and character of the deceased.
A committee of five, consisting of Messrs.
chamberlain, Plunkett, KerchevaI, Reid,
Yarbrough and Douglas, were appointed to
draft su table resolutions.
The committee then retired, and after a
shor-abs9nce returned and reported the FOL
lowing preamble and resolutions, which
we're adopted:
The information of the death Of W. Il.
Wilkinson, Esq, has been communicated
10 us, and in view of the many and arduous
services rendered by him to the city of
Nashville in past years, it is fitting that the
City Council give expression to the regret
felt by US as representatives of the people
upon the happening of so melancholy an
event.
So lately pursuing his official duties as
Justice of the Peace for the First District OF
the county of Davidson, to all appearances
in robust health, his sudden and unexpect-
ed death is most striking warning to us of
the uncertainty of life.
In the year 1856, he was elected as one
of the Aldermen from the Eighth Ward and
was reelected inS1S57. In 1865, he filed
the position Of Recorder of the city by
election of the City Council. In 1870, and
again in 1871, he was elected the Alder
man from the Eighth Ward, and in the lat
ter year was selected as the President of
that Board.
He was man of remarkable affabil ity,
and uniformly cheerful and vivacious. 1t
may be truly said Of him that he never lost
his temper, even under the most trying cir
cumstances, and he treated all with whom
he associated with kindness and hearty
courtesy, always gratefully remembered.
The extent of his business as Justice of
the Peace attested the appreciation of the
people of this county for his ability and in
tegrity.
The citizens of bis ward will long cherish
in their memories his constant and earnest
exertions on behalf of their interests in the
City Council, and the members of that body
who were associated with him, will recall
with pleasure their friendly and courteous
intercourse. In view of these facts, be it
ResOLoed by the City Council Of Nash
UiHe, That we deplore his death as great
loss to the city of Nashville and the COM
munity of the county.
That officially and as individuals we
tender to bis family our hearty sympathy
in their bereavement.
That the Recorder be instructed to for
ward to his bereaved wife and family
copy Of these proceedings, and that the same
be spread upon the minutes of the Council.
That we attend his funeral in body, and
unite thus in testifying our respect for his
memory.
James ChamberliD, j. D. Plunket, Hugh
Douglas, T. j. Yarbrough, James NJ. Reid.

A dispatch from st. Louis, published in
yesterdays paper, stated that information
had been fled in court against the officers
of the St. Louis Mutual Life Insurance
Company, for failing to furnish sworn
statement of the business of the company
in the time specified by law. Mr.. S. K.
Foote, the agent of the company in this
city, says the delay was probably owing to
the transfer of the business Of other Offices
to their own, and to the fact that they were
just moving into their new building. The
statement was published, however, in The
st. Louis Democrat on the 18th inst, two
or three days before the proceedings were
commenced, OF course it will not affect
the business of the company in any meas
ure. The statement, which makes an
excellent showing for the company, is pub
lished elsewhere in this paper.

We are deeply panied to learn that Nor
gan Johnston, infant son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert NJ. Freyer, died quite suddenly yes
terday. When the first born is stolen by
the death angel from the mothers breast,
the grief, the anguish of her heart, no Ian
gusge can convey. To her the first born,
with its sinless smiles of innocence, its
speeches. purity, its tender beauty, is the
very joy-bloonl of life, and the gIadsOme
reality of love and hope. We tender the
bereaved parents our sincere sympathy in
their misfortune. The funeral services, by
Rev. DR.. Kelley, will be held this morning
at nine o'clock.

A QueenIy Banquet.

Last evening, while the members OF the
Legislature were enjoying the banquet ten
dered them by Governor Brown, an equally
pleasant occasion was being conducted in
the ladies' ordinary. There Mrs. Governor
Jno. G. Brown had assembled quite num-
Der of her lady friends, who are guests Of
of the Maxwell House, and, although the
banquet wss an informal one, yet its ele-
ganCe aud pleasure were of the most de-
lightful character. Mrs. Senator James d.
Tillman, of Fayetteville, and Mrs. Senator
Snipes, of Madison, assisted Mrs. Gov.
Brown in her duties. Among the ladies
present were Miss Eva Brown, Mrs. Thos.
S. Hays, Misses Murfree of Murfreesboro,
Mesdames FOgg, Miss Alethe Allison, Mrs.
j. II. Fulton, Miss Rosa Msury, Mrs.
Judge James D. Porter, of Paris, and
others. Only one gentleman, member
of the Union AND AMERICAN, was hon
ored with an invitation to be present at the
queen.y board, and he was urged to make
a speech" He was constrained to decline
the kind invitation, but hopes more favor
able opportunity will enable him to comply.
The entertainment was conducted with
graceful elegance, and the guests were most
complimentary in their thanks to the host
ess for her delightful hospitality, all feeling

New Locomotives on the Nashville

and Chattanooga Railroad.
Recently the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad Company have received seven
new locomotives known as the ''mogul pat
term" and made to order by the Danforth
Locomotive and Machine Company, of Pat
terson, New jersey. The seven locomO-
tives cost in the shops S105, 200, and the
freight from Patterson to this city being
5000 each, makes total of sos, 200. They
have six driving wheels, measuring four
feet, and weigh forty tons. The cylinders
are II by "A inches, and the engines will
prove OF valuable service to our great and
enterprising home railroad, which has roll
ing stock equal to that of any company.
Two of these engines being received yes
terday, were tried on the road and proved
satisfactory in management, speed and
powe-. The Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad exhibit more pluck in the improve
ment of their line, the management of their
connections, and the safety Of passengers
and freight, than any railroad in the South.
Several locomotives are being repaired in
their shops here, and the James K. Polk,
just finished, presents fine appearance.
