ONLY SEVEN YEARS

In s late number of The Bookloorm, an English
periodical, devoted to the exhumatiOn of old and
curious publications, we met with this curious
prophecy, written in the year 1888, and repub-
lished in l64l. The literal fulfllment of many
of its predictions invests it with so much inter-
est that we are requested to give some extracts.
The "ryme" and rhythm are more defective
than the treason"
Carriages without horses shall, go, ].
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world thoughts shall fly,
In the twinkling of an eye. 9.
Water shall yet more wonders do;
Now strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold found at the root of tree.
Through hills men shall ride,
And no horse or ass be at his side. 3.
Under the water men shall walk;
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk. 4
In the air men shall be seen
In white, in black, in green. 8,
Iron in the water shall float
As easy as a wooden boat 6.
Gold shall be found, and found
In a land that's not now known u.
Fire and water shall more wonders DO, 3.
England shall at last admit a jew. ~
Tit world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.

Harvey Stevenson, colored, charged with

ton yesterday, the proof being insufficient to

ant released on his recOgnisance.

Wednesday evening about one Of their male
friends. Nellie accused Winnie of giving
this individual handkerchief upon which
she had placed love powders, and thus try
ing to win his affections. Winnie insinu-
ated that her friend was telling an untruth,
which had the effect of bringing the two
together, and Winnie came out Of the fight
with her face and neck considerably
scratched. Nellie swOre out a warrant
against Winnie on the charge Of assaulting
her son, boy about eleven years old. The
prosecutor was taxed with the costs and

BAIARD TAYLOR.
He Cannot visit Us This Season.

Bayard Taylor, having been Invited by
the Nashville Library Association TO lee
ture in this city, sends the following reply
TO Mrs. Brown, the city librarian, regret
ting that it will be impossible for him to
accept:
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 80, 1S74.-Dear
Madam: Yours Of the 18th has just over
taken me.
Il would give me great pleasure to make
a lectUung tour through the South, but l
could only undertake to go so far for the
sake of at least six or eight engagements,
and yours is the only invitation | have vet
received. In any case, it would be too
late this season, as all my nights are occu-
pied up to the end of March. 1 hope it
may be possible next winter. With thanks
for your friendly letter, and my cordial
greetings to Col. G. G. Harris, believe me,
Very respectfully yours,
BAYARD TAYLOR.
We observe with pleasure the efforts Of
the Association, to induce distinguished lee
tureTs to embrace Nashville in their tours.
They need to succeed in this only a few
times to make our city q popular lecturing
point, as our more cultivated people would
turn out famOusly to hear such men.

OUT OF THE WOODS.
The Lebanon and Nashville Telegraph
Line.
Lebanon Herald, Dec. ?.


Lebanon Herald, Dee.2.
II IS an accomplished fact, Lebanon is
out Of the woods. The Lebanon and
Nashville Telegraph line is in operation,
and we are at last in telegraphic cOmmuni-
cation with the civilized world. On Sat
urday afternoon, Nov. rs, az fifty minutes
after two o'clock, the first dispatch passed
over the wires. Following is a rerbdtim
copy:
To the Union and American:
LEBANON, TENN, Nov. 2S.-FOr the
first time since the flood, Lebanon is in
electric communication with Nashville.
The City of Cedar sends greeting to the
City OfROcks, and trusts that the fraternal
bonds thus united may never be broken or
interrupted. r. l.. G. WHITE,
Editor Lebanon Herald.
In printing this, the UNION AND AMER
ICAN indulges in some very kind and COM
piimentary remarks concerning the part
which the editor Of this paper has taken in
the enterprise Just completed, which we of
course shall not reprint, and to which we
should not refer except TO supply an Omis-
sion. While we have cheerfully done
everything in our power to forward this
important adjunct 10 LebanOn'S prosperity,
the greater portion of the credit is due to
Prof Thomas TOney, to whose ability.
energy, and uutiring and tireleSs persever
ance, more than to the exertiOns of all the
rest of us combined, is due the fact that
our telegraph line is an accomplished fact.
The Lebanon city Office will be in the
Herald cOuntins-rOOm, and the Nashville
city office at the office Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, College street.
There will also be stations at the Tennes-
see and Pacific depot, Nashville, and at
Mount Juliet. The instruments for the
latter two stations will be in position in
few days.
Although the line has been open for bus
mess only three days, our citizens are al
ready making free use of it; and we VEN
ture the prediction that it will not be
month before they will wonder how they
ever did without it.
In answer to a dispatch sent to John B.
Morris, Esq, Associated Press Agent at
Nashville, notifying him of the opening of
the line, the following telegram was re-
ceived:
NASHVILLE, Nov. 80, lST4.-TO. DR.. r.
L. G. White: 1 congratulate yourself, as
well as the people of Lebanon, on tie COM
pletiOn of your electrical alliance and con-
nection with Nashville, and hope it will
ever remain a source Of convenience and
pleasure to its citizens and profit to those
who have so literally contributed 10 its
completion. Drink. j. b. NJ.

Judge Watson and the state Bank.
To the Union and American.

In matters of ex parte statement, the
public should be very cautious in forming,
and particularly, in expressing an opinion.
1t must be admitted that the report of the
Legislative Committee on the management
of the State Bank, is very damaging to the
character of the Trustee, accusing him, as
1t does, by rather more than mere implica-
ton, of Encouragement ncompetency and
careleSsness.
Judge Samuel Watson has resided in this
community for more than forty years, and
has maintained, under all circumstances,
a character for honesty, justice, prudence
and moderation, which has made him a
model of citizenship. L do not, in any de-
gree, impugn the character or the motives
of the gentlemen composing the Legisla-
tive Committee; that they have acted fairly
aud honestly with the light before them, l
do not doubt; but feel equally sure that
Judge Watson, (whO is now absent from
the city, will be abundantly able to defend
himself from all the charges made and i'm
piled, and to show that he has acted faith
fully, and to the best Of his judgment, for
the interest of the State, and of the bank.
Hence, the public is asked, in justice to
Judge Watson, g. suspend all opinion on
the merits of the case, until he shall have
had an opportunity of explaining. c.

A Dazzling Social Event at the Max.
we'll House LAST Night-Immense
Gathering of Beauty and InteIii-
genee Under the Inspiration of
TerpsiehOre.
The COelebs hop at the Maxwell House
last night, which had been looked forward
to and discussed with unfeigned interest
by Nashville society for several weeks,
passed off delightfully."-, proving an unpre,
cedented success and social event long to
be remembered. 1t was generally asserted
that the club eclipsed its own brilliant
prestige for soc al entertainments.
The attendance was larger than at any
former hop. The majority CT the bellies of
the city, and many from our sister towns
Of Middle Tennessee, with numerous mat
rOns, were present, forming as lovely con-
course Of the fair sex as ever assembled in
the State. The number of gentlemen
present exceeded the number Of ladies, and
included all ages from youth TO gray hairs,
an al stations from the secluded walks of
business life to the highest Office in the
State. Altogether, the number in attend
an e reached severa! hundred.
Between the hours Of 0 and 10 the ball
Opsned in the spacious dinning hall with
n Imerous sets, the sight of which whirling
and mingling in the graceful maze Of the
dance was indescTibably beautiful. This
was the realization of the long cherished
anficlpatiOns and WAS enjoyed accordingly.
From IL to i o'clock the doors Of the
ladies' ordinary were thrown open, reveal
ing boards laden with the seleciest viands,
around which flOcked the guests till all
were refreshed for the delightful hours
which were TO follow.
The festivities were prOtracted till the
'.we sma' hours were passed.
The music of the evening, furnished by
Bush's band, with the best yiOlinists in the
city, was eminently satiSfac, DRY.
To the CelebS Club, and especially TO
its officers and committees, who made it
their business to see that all and singular
