Here it is shown that the city received
OUer three thousand dollars from the
bridges OUer expenditures, last year.
Include the cost of rebuilding the Milan
road, however, which was $685. 40 and
the city expended 1924. GA more than it re-
ceived. This, however, was an unusual
and extraordinary expenditure, and not
required oftner than once in perhaps ten or
dozen years.
The city has never received from bridge
tolls as much money as it has expended on
the bridges and road included, and would
probably be willing to turn the property
over to the county, free of charge, provid-
ed the county would agree to maintain on
ly the bridges at the expense Of the coun-
ty and make them free to all, leaving the
road to be kept in order by the town This
offer, if made by the city to the county, we
think the county ought to accept The
property could be sold by the city, to-day,
for $50,0O0-but the people of this city
will not permit its control to pass out of
their hands until the bridges shall be made
free to all. And we doubt whether thew
would consent to lease it to anybody, and
run the risk of law suits to repair any
damages which might occur to the bridges.

AMERICAN WoMEN.-It is a melancholy
fact, that American women have degener-
ated in point of health and physique, until
they have become literally race of inva-
lids. How sad it is to look around us and
compare the frail and effeminate looking
lady of to-day with the hale, hearty and
buxom ladies of days gone by. To all such
the late discovery of DR.. WALKER, of Cal
fornia, which is known as VINEGAR BIT
TIERS, is priceless boon indeed. For this
class of diseases it is certain and safe, and
any lady, old or young, can take it with en-
tire confidence in the result. and thus avoid
what to thousands is stumbling block
never overcome, viz "a consultation with
family physician. IT'S true there may
be cases of years standing. that will neces-
state more powerful treatment, but in nine
cases out of ten this remedy will reach the
disease, and after little time effect a cure.
The ladies cured by it are numbered by
thousands, and are scattered through
every State in the Union.

THE NORTH CAROLINA SEN
SATION.
A Mountain Grooming and trembling.

A few DAYS ago, We noticed the fact that
Bald Mountain, in North Carolina, was in
the incipient thrOes of ParturitiOE. The
EIBOsifOr. Of Asheviile, Of the 18th, has
the following in relation TO the same mat
ter:
s.Bald Mountain in the edge Of Mellow
ell county, has, for many weeks, shown
alarming signs Of volcanic movements.
The unsettling OF the table ware, and jOst-
ling of houses for many miles arOund-thc
hasty melting of the SHOW and the internal
mutterlngs from within have startled the
natives into alarm and CONSERVATION.
An old blockade whisky distiller who had
been making whisky in contempt Of reye-
nue. officers for FIVE or six years, heard the
Tumbling Of the mountain, and suppOsing
the day Of Judgment had come, came out OF
his 'hole' and abandoned bis distillery,
and called in his neighbOrs to pray for him.
For the last several days a grand prayer
meeting and revival has been going on in
the neighbOrilOOd OF Bald Mountain. These
whisky sinners believe that the day Of judg-
lnent is close nj hand, and are praying fer
ventIy. The terrible noise in the noun
tain was heard distinctly at Marion and
Old Fort. A reporter for the EepOsitOr has
gone to the scene of excitement.-KROT-

Vanderbilt University.

We learn that during this week several Of
our citizens have contributed one thousand
dollars each to the endowment fund of the
Vanderbilt University. \ few have given
five hundred. Many have come forward
with one, two and three hundred. So DIR.
Young and the great University receive a
cordial welcome and a hearty response from
the citizens Of Memphis. He expects to
spend the current month here, and thinks,
from what has already been done, that he
will get about twenty-five thousand dol
lars in endowment notes: and as he has a
large experience in the financial line, we
predict success. The interest on these
notes is only six per cent, and begins Jan
uary, 1879. Ii is to be used in defraying
the expenses of poor young men pursuing
their studies, and preparing for the MINIS
try, in Vanderbilt NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

CONGR ESsIONAL.
HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Under the
call of States bills were introduced and re-
ferred:
By Mr.. O'Brien prohibiting the use OF
public horses and vehicles for private pur-
poses in Washington, and forbidding Gov
eminent officials to require their servants
to wear livery.
By Mr.. Herndon for commission in re-
lation to the preservation of forests.
BY Mr.. CaSOn to give land warrants to
soldiers and sailors in the late war.
A Miserable Pitfanee.
Mr.. Stanard from the Committed on Com
merce reported bill for appropriating $780,
600 to be expended in the course of the
current fiscal year in improving the mouth
of the Mississippi river.
Importing PestiIenee.
Mr.. Bromberg of Alabama, moved to
suspend the rules and bring up for consid-
Grafton the bill to prevent the importation
of contagious diseases into the United
States. The House refused to second the
motion.
MIR. Bromberg then endeavOred to have
the bill made the special order for some day
a week or two honce, but the measure was
opposed by Mr.. Cox, w. II. Roberts and
other New York City members.
After a long struggle which was pro-
tracted by Intellectual efforts toget quorum
to vote, the House without action on the
bill took recess till half past seven, the
evening session TO be exclusively FOR dis
cusSion of the transportation bill.

Wants an International JubiIOrum.
PHILADELPHIA, March 16.-An i'm
mense meeting of business men of this city
was held to-day in pursuance of a call set
ting forth that an International Exhibition
is necessary to sustain the national credit
inviOlate, as pledged to the people not only
of the United States, but Of foreign coun-
tries, in acts Of Congress and in the proc
lamation Of the President. The utmost
confidence was expressed that the ultimate
response from Congress and the States
would be in the highest degree favorable TO
the international project. Speeches were
made pledging the citizens to a renewal of
the volume of subscription by at least a
million dollars, asserting the fullest conf
dence in the ability of the city and State to
do far more than their proportionate part,
and that a congressional appropriation was
earnestly desired so that the Exposition,
which, so far rs the city and state are con-
cerned, is already an assumed success, may
not be diScreditable to the nation.
