Contaminated water.

The journal OF Chemistry warns the
drinkers Of water of wells near dwellings
10 beware OF the typhoid poison sure to be
found, sooner or later, in those reservoirs,
if any OF the house-drainage can pereolate
them. The gelatinous matter often found
upon the stones of a well is a poison to
the human system, probably causing by its
spores, fermentation of the blood, with
abnormal heat or fever. Wholesome, IN
tainted water is always free from all color
and odOr. To test ii thoroughly, place half
pint in a clear bottle, with a few grains
Of lump-sugar, and expose it stOppered, to
sunlight, in a window. If, even after an
exposure of eight or ten days, the water
becomes turbid, be sure that it has been
contaminated by sewerage of some kind.
If it remains perfectly clear, it is pure and
safe.

Quite lively scene occurred on South
Nashville street car yesterday afternoon.
The driver asked for the fare of man who
said he had already put it in the box. The
driver insisted that the fare had not been
paid and the passenger insisted with such
emphasis, and even profanity, that the street
car man lost his temper and knocked him
down, whereupon the passenger arose and
straightway left tie car.

A NEGRO BURGLAR's FATE.

oVIIItI Vic T tICOII, NV. ..
We are reliably informed that a negro
burglar was shot and killed by Mr.. Julian
j. Swift, at LaGrange, Monday morning.
About 8 O'Clock in the morning, Mrs. Swift
was awakened by a noise at the window,
but raised no alarm. Mr.. Swift soon
awOke also, and disco ering that the win
dow had been raised and man in the act
of entering, fired upon him with derrinser
pistol, the ball entering his forehsad and
causing instant death. The negro was I'M
known to any of the white people of La
Grange, and also TO any of the negroes who
had seen him up to the time our informant
left. A revolver and ten or twelve dollars
were found upon his person.

CHEAP BREAD.
A Touching Appeal TO the Bakers Of
Nashville.

To the Union and American:
Cannot the influence of your widely cir
culated paper be enlisted in the cause of
the bread consumer? II matters not with
the baker whether -four be s. or $40 per
barrel, (Which latter price it reaches once
or twice in four or five years., his five
cent loaf never varies from three-quarters
of pound. Now, there are POI five-cent
lOayes of bread made from 4 barrel Of four.
Allowing the baker to sell twO-thirds to
the smaller dealers at three and a half
cents per Loaf, and the balance 10 con-
sumers at five cents, his barrel of -four
would bring him S10.44-leaving him the
nice little margin of S5.44 10 deduct eX-
penseS from, at the present price OF second
grade flOur-the only kind they use. Can
you not induce some WhOle-sOuled and en-
terpriZing baker TO increase the weight Of
his loaf to one and a quarter pounds-for
the present, at least This would still
give him a profit Of S1.25 on a barrel Of
-four The grocer thinks lie does well to
make city cents on 4 barrel. Let lis know
if yOa succeed CONSUMERS.
