NEW BOOKS.

We have received through w. I. Berry
& Co., of this city, the following new
books from J. B. Lippincott * Co, pub
fishers, Philadelphia:
Many Lands and Many PeOple.-A
republication from LippincOtfS Rdgdzine,
of q series of articles concerning both hemis-
pheres condensed into an elegant volume
containing l4T illustrations, and interest
ing and instructive to all classes of readers.
The Pre-AdImjte, or Who Tempted
Eue-Intended to prove that Scripture and
science are in unison as respects the an
tiquity of man, and likely to interest all
whose investigations are directed, and
whose leisure enables them to settle, or en-
deavor to settle, the great questions be
tween science and Moses. Considering
the short duration of life, the practical
uses of science, the absolute certainty of
death, the consciousness of all men that
there is hereafter, and that We have to
labor for existence in this world, it is only
the few who will spend money and time to
find out "who tempted Eve"
On the Science Of IlSibility-Another
one of those peculiar works, the title of
which we quote in full, to show what may
be found in its pages: "On the Science of
Sensibility Gntelligence) or simple element
of soul; and the spirit of life and origin of
species, and natural cause of the constancy
of each species TO its type" John Nelson
Smith is the author,
John Thompson and Other Stories-A
series of readable stories by Louisa Parr,
well printed and well told.
The Voice IN pedking-Translated
from the German By Rev. Drs Turness, and
quite interesting to those who want ''to
speak in public on the stage" as well as
those who desire TO make themselves i'm
pressive in conversation.
MdlcOlIn-One of the best novels yet
written by Geo. Mcdonald, the author Of a
number of works of similar character,
which have been received with such public
favor
The Liuelies and Other Short Stories
Calculated to interest both old and
young. 1t has healthy moral tone, and
a genial and captivating style Of narrative.
Il Modern CreSidd, and On the Church
Steps-Here are two stories considerably
above level of current fiction.
History of the Conflict Bet,ceel Re
Hgion and lScieRce-This is one of the
international Scientific Series,n in course
Of publication by D. Appleton & Co., of
New York. 1t is by DR.. J. W. Draper,
who has already contributed much to the
scientific literature of the times, and who,
in this volume, has shown not only re-
search in recording facts, but impal TALLY
in their arrangement. The book is an ex-
interesting one.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
The Eagle WOODEN Mills at GaIIasin
Destroyed Yesterday -Loss AbOut
$4,000.

The Eagle WOODEN Mills at GaIIasin
Destroyed Yesterday Loss About
$4,000.
The Eagle Wooden Mills at Gallatin, ex-
tensively and favorably known on account
of the excellence of its manufactures, were
totally destroyed by fire yesterday morn
| ing. About 2:3O A. NJ. a negro boy i'll pas
sing by discovered the flames and reused
some persons in the neighbOIhood, who
raised a general alarm. The fire engine
of the town was drawn to the spot (the 10
cation being between the square and the
| depOt) as soon as possible, but not before
the roof was falling in and the fire beyond
| control. The materials being greasy, were,
OfcOurSe, very infammable, and accelerated
| the destruction.
The building was a single story brick of
about 40x175 feet. Nothing but the walls
were left, the machinery and material all
having been destroyed.
IL is not known how the fire originated,
but generally believed to have been kim
died by an incendiary. The factory was
heated by pipes from furnace al the rear
of the building, and so separated from the
main establishment as TO be considered
danSeTless.
A possible cause was, however, sponta-

oil, which may have been left in some cor
ner.
The factory was owned by Samuel
Nicholson, of Gallatin, and r. II. Gardner
aud II. B. Buckner, Of Buckner & Co.,
of this city. The first had half interest,
and the other two a quarter interest each.
1t cost originally $4,000 or $4,000. The
insurance amounted to about Sl7,000-on
the machinery $4,000 and ON the stock,
5000. The companies liable, we under
stand, are the Hartford, Rtna and Phoenix.
The number Of operatives turned out of
employment is about twenty-five.
Jeans, dOeskins, linseys, fannels and
knitting yarns were the principal manufac-
lures and were soid-mainly by the whole
sale dry goods house Of Buekuer & Co., in
this city.
Il was very successful enterprise and
one OF which Gallatin felt proud.
The Gallatin Cotton Factory, which has
been since rebuilt, on a more extensive
scale, was destroyed by fire about three
years ago, entailing a loss of about $780,
0Uu. 1t is to be hoped that the Eagle
Wo,lcn Mills may be rebuilt also on
more extensive scale.

from an old negro woman who was rock

would allow.
"What are you doing, Aunt Peggy" ex-
claimed the irate Fayettevillian.
"I'm singin' of hime, honey"
"The d-l you are; what 'hime' are you
singing"
'1'm singing, I'm gwine fur to jine

"WeIl, I'd like to know what band you
