III LOOKS RATHER QUEER.
Must We Go TO East Tennessee for Our
Custom House Stone7

The following, which We find in the
E,tpJrMe Pres dR6 Herald OF Wednes=
day. will I've read with strne Interest b.
Nashville mechanics aad others:
ssArchitect Williamson, civil engineer
Warins and Mr.. Sloan, contractor for the
excavation and masonry, visited Lyons
View, and made the grade marks yesterday
afternoon. The contractor Informs us that
lie expects to be able to commence work on
the excavation about August 1st. Mr..
SlOau's bid for the masonry work was four
dollars per perch. and for the excavation
twenty-five cents rer c;ibic ward. From
the lcwness Ct Mr. slOaE's lid for the
masonry wuik, taken In connection with
MS being from Nashville, a rurnOr was
spread that Mr.. Sloan proposed using Peni-
Tertiary labor. In response to our report
er's query, Mr.. Sloan said he had heard the
ruuOr, but It was wholly Uufounded. He
had 10 use for convict labor, was work
inCman himself, and deeply interested in
the prosperity Of workingmen, and in the
work al Lyons View would obtain all his
woTlanen from Knoxville. Mr. Sloan said
that he was eudoayoging "a have our white
marble seiecled for the Nashville Custom
house TO be erected by the GOycrninenr,
AMI hoped to be successful"
1t will strike the people of Nashville as
rather queer that Mr.. Sloan is so anxious
to have our custom house built of marble
brought all the way from East Tennessee,
whef thu finest building stone in the cOun-
tn is TO he found within a very short dis
lance of Nashville. Railroad transpOrta-
ton would materially increase the cost Of
the marble, and in that degree limit the
amount of mechanical skill and ornamen-
tation necessary to render the build
in. verify Of Nashville aud The
purpose to which it is to be devoted.
As several hundred thousand dollars are
10 be expended in the erection of this
Custom-hOuse, we trust that our leading
business men and other representative citi-
zens will use their best efforts to have the
money put {" : proper use and spent, as far
IS possible, i'm this immediate section.

Of the twenty-nine deaths in Nashville

says: -,

as far as possible during the season Of heat
and foul air. The directions are based
upon plain principles OF common sense,
which we suppose would be patent TO
auybOdy of ordinary intelligence, but
which are unfortunately the very facts
soonest ignored and neglected. Washing
might be called the basis Of 6aby's saliva
ton through teething; a thorough SOusing
of the little body in plenty OF cold water
every morning, and when the weather
Is extremely hot, a tepid sponge bath at
night: washing, too, constantly, OF al
clothes and cloths used by the infant, 10

all times. Whatever milk be given
should be thoroughly sweet and cool; in
fants. under two years, should be restricted
in their diet to milk, oatmeal mush or Cruel
carefully prepared, and beef broth or
minced raw beef in small quantities. There
is a popular prejudice among uneducaled
women against the @meanness OF refusing
food TO their children which they eat them
