Three Points for Consideration.

During the past five years the VEGETINE has
been steadily working Itself into public favor and
those who at first most incredulouS in regard
to its merits are now Its most ardent friends ana
supporters.
There are three essential causes for those having
such horror of patent medicines, changing their
opinion and lending their influence towards the adj
Vancement of NEGETINE. 1st-It is an honestly
prepared medicine from barks roots and herbs.
2dlt honestly accomplishes all that is claimed for
it, without leaving any bad effects in the system.
3d-lt presents honest vouchers in testimonials
from honest, wellknown citizens, whose signatures
are sufficient guarantee of their earnestness in the
matter Taking into consideration the vast guam
tity OF medicine brought conspicuously before the
public through the llanng advertisements in the
newspaper columns, with no proof of merit gen.
uine vouchers OF what it has done, we should be
pardoned for maniiesting a small degree fpride in
presenting the following testimonial from Rev j.

ial pastor of the South Baptist Church, Boston:

Peppered with Shot.

A shooting scTape occurred on South
Spruce street about half-past9 o'clock Tues
day night. From what those who wit
messed the affair say, it seems that Fred
Cramer, a grocery keeper in that vicinity,
had been drinking quite freely during the
evening. Walker Scott, a youth about six
teen years of age, was in front of Cramer's
store, when the latter ordered him away.
He didn't appear to be in any par
ticular hurry about leaving, when
Cramer went to the rear Of the house,
came to the door with a shotgun, and
fired, when Scott was about twenty PAGES
of. Eighty Of the shot took effect in his
thighs and legs. He fell TO the earth, but
afterwards regained his footing. As the
shot scattered considerably, the wounds are
but slight, and it is thought be will re-
cover in a short time. CTamer was arrested
yesterday morning by officers Massey and
Skalley, and gave bond for his appearance
before Justice Everett tomorrow afternoon.

NashriIIe,s Public schools.

The editor of the Chattanooga Times,
who recently visited our city schools, writes
TO his paper:
All The public schools of Nashville are
carefully graded, and the course of educa-
ton continues through twelve years, begin
ming with the elements of reading and
spelling and ending with Latin, Greek,
trigOnOmetry, geology, mineralogy, astrom-
Omy, mental philosophy, botany, French,
the science of government, and the art Of
teaching. OF course very few pursue
the entire course, the larger numbers
leaving the schools after acquiring what
used to be called a common school edUca-
ton, and many stopping short Of that.
Music, calisthenics and drawing are
taught throughout the first seven
years, and a more interesting and
amusing sight can rarely be wit
messed than the calisthenic exercises of
the children Of the primary department.
Music is continued through all the depart
ments. and in the High School to-day /
heard some excellent chanting. and a song
adapted to the air SUOri Ia 1TOHJG, which
brought to mind the classic halls of D. K.
E., where last heard the same air. The
chief excellence of the modern public
school system, illustrated more thoroughly
in Nashville than in any other Southern
city, is the manifest pleasure with which
all the pupils, from the highest to the low
est grades, perform the duties and paTtici-
pate in the exercises required of them;
and the zeal, earneStness and enthusiasm
of the teachers and the fascination which
their work has for them are no less worthy
Of note. If there be any royal road to
knowledge it has certainly been found in
the modern system of instruction in public
schools, but it is royal only in the sense in
which every American citizen prOclaims
himself a sovereign in his own right.
