Bread and the Bakers.
To the Union and American:

To the Union and American
Noticed in Sundays issue of your paper
an article headed ga Touching Appeal to
the Bakers of Nashville" and signed 'Con-
sumers." He says cit matters not with the
baker whether -four be s. or $40 per barrel
his five cent loaf never varies from three
quarters of a pound" That statement
lacks a good deal of being correct. How
could any baker afford to give as much
bread for five cents when -four is SO per
barrel as be can when it is only So.
Ihave vet to hear of any
baker making bread of s. flour.
Consumer says that bakers use only
second grade -four. All the millerS and
flour dealers know that such is not the
case. A barrel of No. -four (and bakers
use no other kind for bread) costs 5000.
When made into bread it will bring about
5000, leaving balance of $40, which
would be very nice if it cost nothing to
make the bread. A bakers wages will
average about $3.50 per day; then hops,
yeast, salt and fuel will cost 81, making
$3.50 TO come out of $40. This
leaves the magnificent sum of 80 cents
to reward the industrious manufacturer of
the 9'staff of life" consumer" winds up
his warn with a modest request that you
induce some enterprising, whOle-sOuled
baker to take the bread business in hand
aud sell pound and a quarter for four
cents. If you know anybody that has
money 10 lose, advise him, by all means, TO
go into the bread business and take econ
sumner" as his partner. A BAKER.

ROthschild In Distress.

Some five weeks ago, a German register
ing his name as Rothschild, and unable to
speak word of English, came to Nashville
from New York, and has acted since then
in such a variety of ways that be had the
misfortune yesterday evening to be arrest
ed for luuatic. When the officer took
him to the station, he stood forth and pratt
tied in his native tongue so rapidly, garru-
iously and necessarily, wearing in the
meantime such a scOrnful. look of
indignation, that large crowd of Amer
lean faces were soon beaming upon him
with ludicrous interest. An interpreter
standing by Informed the curious crowd
that be was pronouncing an Grafton against

could not hear his own clatter. Released
without inconvenient delay, he strobe res
olutely down to Linck's Hotel, got a room

OUTCAST.
A Poor Young Woman Adrift with an
Infant.

n EOOr IOuuS hOtndn AOrAAt Win an
Infant.
A young, loDely-looking, simple-minded
woman, with an infant in her arms, in
quiring about the streets yesterday for EN-
plOyment, was directed to go TO the County
Court. Evidently, without the slightest
idea of disobeying any directions that
might have been given her, she walked
away to the courthouse, where she told
Judge Ferris her story, and was assigned
temporary lodging.
She said she had come from Normandy
by the morning train on the Chattanooga
road, and was intending either TO get EN-
ployment and stop here, or go to Sumner
county, where she has relatives. She for
merly lived in Summer, where she was
married TO a man named Cones, who died
about two months ago. On his death she
went to her grandfather's at Normandy,
where she gave birth to this child, about
five weeks ago. She had expected to make
her home there, but finding her grandfather
old and poor, she concluded to return to
Sumner. She had just enough money to
reach here. She wanted letter written
to a cousin of the name of Cones, living
about two miles from Goodlettsville, as she
thought he would come after her.
