A Down town merchant, having pa sse
several sleepless nights, disturbed by the
agonies and cries of a suffering child, and
becoming convinced that Mrs. WinslOT's
Soothing Syrup was just the article needed,
procured a supply for the child. On reach
ing home, and acquainting his wife with
what he had done, she refused to have it
administered to the child, as she was
strongly in favor Of Homeopathy. That
night the child passed in suffering, and the
parents without sleep. Returning home
the day following, the father found the
baby still worse; and while contemplating
another sleepless night, the mother stepped
from the room TO attend to some domestic
duties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered pOr-
ton of the Soothing Syrup TO the baby, and
said nothing. That night all hands slept
well, and the little fellow awoke in the
morning bright and happy. The mother
was delighted with the sudden and won
derful change, and although at first offend
ed at the deception practiced upon her, has
continued to use the Syrup, and suffering,
crying babies and restless nights have dis
appeared. A single trial of the Syrup never
yet tailed to relieve the baby, and overcome
the prejudices of the mother.

A representative Of the UNION AND
AMERICAN returned yesterday from a brief
sOjOurn at BlOUrt Springs, Ala, one Of the
most delightful places Of summer resort
in the Sou h. During his stay, Captain
Towner, the popular proprietor Of the
Jackson House, gave a banquet,
at which were handsomely entertained a
large number Of members Of the Tennessee
and Alabama press. Among the guests
were many of Alabama's most accomplished
fair ones, including Mrs. W. II. q. -,
formerly Miss Florence W, an &C
knowledged belle in her young lady
hood; Mrs. J. +. W, whom
"ApoIo's self might pause to hear,
Her biTd-like carroll when she sings"
Also Mrs. 4. P. W, whose stately
bearing and queenly grace stamp her as q
type Of the genuine Southern lady, and
Miss Carrie NJ, Of Montgomery, with a
sunny smile and WinsOme ways that made
scores of hearts ache.
In addition to these there were present
Hon. Thos. J. Judge, Rev. P. N. Mus

At the close Of the banquet the party re-

guests of the house. This was followed
by two laughable farces, presented by the
Decatur Amateur Dramatic COmpany-the

dered in such an artistic manner that

devoted themselves to dancing, which was |
kept up until quite late at night.
There is a large and interesting assem- !
blage of guests at1he Springs, the arrivals |
since June /, having exceeded four hundred. |
Capt. TOWner is an admirable host, and, |
under his management, this resort cannot |
but continue to be one of the most popular |
in the South. As to the medicinal quail |

stand higher with the medical profession. |

Our tobacco factors have late infOrma-
ton from the upper Cumberland country
and the GAINESVILLE district, to the effect
that the young tobacco is appreciably af-
fected by the copiOus rains recently. The
plants show yellOWish color not belong
ing to a growth that IS perfectly healthy.
The reports were, however, that a few
bright days would cure the sickness and
make the prospect for an abundant crop IN
exGptiOnable. No complaint has come 10
our knowledge of worms, and we hope that
the trouble from this source will be insig-
nifcant this year.
The stock Of the old leaf in this market
has all been disposed of but a dozen or so
hOgsheads, and our dealers will have a rest
from now till the income of the new. The
magnificent outlook for the growing crop
has had little effect on the high prices in
which the old crop has reveled almost from
the opening Of the season.

An Omeer's Race and Desperate Fight
With A Negro Onender-The Latter
Completely squeIehed.
Officer James Bergen was called upon
Yesterday morning to arrest Gilbert Lanier,
colored, on the charge of assault and bat
terry. The difficulty occurred in the Tenth
Ward between Lanier and a negro named
Harvey Stevenson.
L.anier offered no resistance at first, and
when the officer told him he must 90 to the
police station, he came along very willingly.
However, they had gone but a short dis
lance when the negro gave the officer viO-
lent push and darted of at a lively gait.
Bergen star. ed after him but did not over
take him till he had reached the Thirteenth
District. On coming up with him, Lanier
showed fight, and officer Bergen made use
of his mace.
After lively tussle, in which the negro
cot a sound pUmmelling, he got the club
away from the officer. Bergen next drew
his pistol and knocked the negro down
with it. This induced the negro to throw
up the sponge and surrender. He was
taken TO the statiOn-hOuse and then before
the Recorder. Judge Du'ing fined him so
for resisting the officer, and s. for commit
ting an assault.
as be failed to pay the fines he was sent
to the WOrk-hOuse, and the summer will be
over before he will regain his liberty. He
will hare ample time to reflect over the
folly of his conduct, before he has another
opportunity to resist an officer or commit
an assault.

found suOring-HOw He Had Made
His Night Toilet.
As UNION AND AMERICAN reporter
was crossing the Suspension bridge about 3
o'clock Yesterday morning on his way to
serenade a Sylvan City sweetheart, he
came upon romantic scene in zeal life,
which so unclaimed his attention as TO
cause the postpOnement Of the musical
visit. Near one of the farther piers and
between the street car track and the rail-
ing, was a human form PROSTATE, as if III
the icy embrace of death.
PaUs nc for a moment in bewilderment,
then recovering himself and laying down
his guitar, the reporter advanced to the re-
cumbent figure. Ii was stretched upon the
hack lengthwise with the bridge. The first
impression, that il was a case Of death, in
stantly vanished as snoring was now DIS
tinctly heard. The long slantlng rays Of
the moon Illuminated the tableau. He was
a young man, in his night c Othes, with the
exec lion that he had on his collar and
white crayat. The over garments were
hanging on the railing near by and the
shoes were sitting alongside the track. He
had prepared for a nights rest with as much
precision as if he had been in his own room
and in his own bed.
The. cause was not long a mystery
From the neatness Of his attire, be had ev-
identity been to an entertainment where
improvidence had led him to mix wines
and drink too freely. The air was redo
lent with vinous OdOrs. There, too, was
the carefully cultivated mOustache and
goatee, arguing that he had a sweetheart
of whom he thought a great deal. Not the
least sympathetic of the reporters reiec-
lions was, that this young man might have
been tempted to sink 'em" by the silvery,
cOaxihg voice of that girl.
The slumberer could not be reused more
than to sit up, and could not be made to
talk. As soon as he was released from the
grip Of the repOrtorial visitor he fell back
in his rough bed again, and was soon
asleep and alone.

A Pleasant Social Event I'm the
G0nnfrw

One Of the most enjoyable events of the
season for the younger portion of our pop
ulatlOn was the handsome entertainment
given at the suburban residence of Mr..
Archer Cheatham, in honor of one of Ken
tueky's falrest daughters, now a guest of
Mr.. Cheatham's family. It would seem
That the heavens smiled upon the occasion,
for the weather was DELIGHTFULLY."- pleasant.
The elegant grounds, by the aid Of Chinese
transparencies, railroad headlights and 9th
ermeans Of illumination, were transformed
into a fairy scene, rivaling some of those
described in the Arabian Nights.
In doors all was old-fashiOned Southern
hospitality and good cheer. Music and
tue dance, pleasant conversation aud agree
able strOlls through the delightful grounds
prevented note being taken of the flight of
time. The only objection that the most
captiOus could urge was that the early
dawn peeped in a little too early upon the
happy thrOng there assembled, and made
them change the parting "Good Night" to

what a Drink Cost.

The other morning, a young man who
had been arrested for being drunk and dis
orderly on the streets, went to Judge Dul-
inc aud told him about the matter, saying
he wanted to submit his case, in order to
avoid trial in open court. The Judge Of
fered to take his statement about the affair
and proposed to fine him s. without exam
lining any witnesses. The young man put
up a pitiful tale, and said he thought it was
awful hard that be should have to pay so
much for getting on a drunk. When
Judge Duling got disguised and offered to
pay his fine for him, the fellow became
ashamed of himself and handed over 5

Judge Walsh permits us to make the fol-
lowing extract from letter dated Cork, Ire

Akers. Commissioner for the State of Ten
nessee to the International Geographical
Congress and Syndicate Of Trade, to con-
vene at Paris, France, during the present
month:

beautiful city surrounded by the most
beautiful scenery on the globe. We have

the BlaTney StOne,' as you perceive from
the enclosed card it is quite dangerous
undertaking. Our party consisted OF my

wealthy Irish American families returning
back TO revisit the rOof-tree, the home Of
their childhood.
"There is nothing so lovely and beautiful
as q ride over the suburbs adjacent 10
COrk-One continuous panorama, presenting
a scene of unsurpassed lOveliness.
"On our return 20 Cork last evening
little Irish boy, clad in rags, stood opposite
and sang some Irish patriotic songs, 50 full
of pathos, feeling and sentiment, my heart
almost melted to pity the little Irish child
of song. He possessed genius and little
cultivation would make him stand peer

about Dublin, LAKE IF Killarney, etc.
We 90 to Dublin next week TO see the
shooting match Of the American rife Team
"A great gala day and fun for everyone.
The enclosed card" is a picture Of
man kissing the killarney Stone" He is
suspended from the top Of the castle by his
heels, held by a stout lrishman above, so
as to reach the talismanic stone in the wall
below. The peculiar virtue Of the stone
is indicated in some lines under the photo
graph:
'There is a stone there, whoever kisses,
Oh! he never misses to grow elOqunti
It's he may Chamber TO lady's chamber,
Or become member Of sweet Parllamintj
A clever spOuter he'll shure turn out, or
An Out-and-Outer to be let alone;
Don't hope 10 hinder him, OF to bewilder him
Shure he's pilgrim from the BlaTney stone"

Another Invention for Tennessee.

Tie inventions alone Of Tennessee would
give her pre-eminence in the Centennial
Exposition next year. Only yesterday the
inven, ion of a cotton compress, which will
undoubtedly rival, and probably excel, the
best in use, came TO our knowledge. The
patentees are Messrs. c. Z. Gregory and
Henry Bowen, Of this city.
Yesterday they had in operation at the
machine shop, corner Of Broad and Front
streets, a small compress, built for expert
ment, and its working was witnessed with
admiration by most Of our cotton men. 1t

FrankIIn's Scandal.

The preliminary trial Of Jerome Allison,
charged with raping his little step-daughter
in Franklin, is in progress there before
Justices Malone and Magnus. Some par
ties claim that the whole affair is a mali
ciOus prosecution. 1t has been proved that
the man and his wife, the prosecutrix, did
not get along well together, and it is
thought the woman is taking this method
Of '1getting even" with him. The trial so
far has not brought out anything Of a de-
finite character.

AN ARKANSAS TRAVELLER.
How a Negro Magistrate Serves ''POOr
white Trash.''

James CosgrOve, a very seedy looking
individual, was arrested by Constable Har-
ney yesterday and taken before Justice
Butler on the charge Of vagrancy. He was
sent to the county wOrk-house for thirty
days. Cosgrove is about thirty-years Of
age, and apparently in excellent health.
His clothes were so tattered and torn that
his person was exposed. When taken into
custody he was in an alley picking up
scraps Of bread and meat that had been
thrown out of a kitchen. He said he had
walked all the way from Little Rock, Ar
kansas, and during the journey had slept in
the woods and lived on herbs, etc. Al
though he cOnversed well, be had a rather
derahged look about him. His case should
be looked into, anyhow, as it is undoubted
cruelty to put a lunatic in penal servitude.

THE ROLLING MILL PROJECT.
Cost Of Manufacturing
Sheet and Bar Iron in Nashville.

Estimated Cost Of Manufacturing
sheet and Bar Iron in Nashville.
The project for establishing a rolling
mill in this city was published in last Sun
days issue. The matter is being investi-
gated by a number Of citizens possessing
ample means to spare the necessary invest
ment. Our information is that the idea
obtains among those who have looked into
it that the enterprise can be made a sue
cess with reasonable efforts. The follow
ing considerations confirm this conclusion:
The sales Of the commonest Pittsburg
Iron per annum in Nashville aggregate
S25O,UOO to 100000, and that amount Of
iron is annually imported to meet our trade
not for railroad purposes, but for the
ordinary purposes Of life, as if there were
no railroads. The idea is to build a mill
which will turn out the wrought metal, TO
cut off this importation. That this object
can be accomplished is the conclusion from
the following estimate Of cost:
Nashville. PittSburg
Coal per bUshel..... Sc. lac.
Labor per days LOO s 1.5O
Material per ton. 20.00 5000
With the present cheapness of material
and labor it is thought the mill can be put
up at % to % per cent. cheaper than at any
time in the past history of the city.
Our opinion is that the enterprise has
the true sanction of political economy. The
coal, the furnaces for pig metal, the supply
of scrap-iron and the labor are in our Vi
cinity and easy Of access. These are the
factoIs. Why should they not be made to
yield The product which we import from
Pittsburg, where the same factors are
brought to bear at a greater cost. The gen
eral depression in the iron trade at present
might be urged against the project on foot,
but this depression is confined mainly to
railroad iron, the manufacture of which
will not be a paying business while the
building of railroads is at a standstill. The
Of iron on the farm and in the
wagon factory is as great now as it ever
was, and will never diminish. The estab-
lishment Of rolling mill here for steel and
bar iron would insure a supply of what is
in constant demand. 1t is a cOnsumma-
lion much to be desired by those having at
heart the manufacturing interests Of the
,ity.
