ls The ANGELS -

Is the title Of neat little volume written
by Rev. T. 7. Eaton, Pastor Of the Baptist
Church at ChattanOOgarand published by
the American Baptist Publication Society
in Philadelphia. 1t is more an essay than
a book. The author has so happily eX-
pressed its scope that we give the preface
entire, which, to our mind, is as perfect as
any one we have ever seen. He says:
'The author Of this unpretending volume
regards It simply as an attempt to explain
the teachings Of the Bible concerning the
holy and the evil angels. In examining the
subject discussed he was particularly struck
by two things: First, how little there is in
our literature about the angels; and second,
how much there is in the Bible about
them. The book is designed TO be popular
rather than scholarly, intended for the
masses rather than the few. If il shall be
the means of stimulating Christian scholars
to a closer study Of the subject, and Of CIV
ing Christian people tTuer ideas Of the ma
ture and Offices Of the angels, its publica-
ton will not be- in vain"

THE TROTTING YESTERDAY.
A Lively COntest-MeKimmOn' Entry
Ghe winner.


A tTotting race, mile heats, best three in
five, for purse Of $50, came Off at the
Nashville Trotting Course yesterday after
noon. There were eight entries and seven
starters. In the pooling before the race
commenced Nashville Belle had the call,
with Maid of the Mist second choice, and
Captain Jinks third, the remaining four
selling about even. The betting was
quite free and the pools went of briskly
The track was not in as good condition as
could have been desired, and the dust was
a source of annoyance, but Mai. Bean, in
charge of the bar, had a sufficient stock on
hand to keep the boys from dying of thirst,
and everything went on merrily.
First Heat.-This was made i'm 2:52,
Nashville Belle first, Moonshine second,
OswegO third, Capt. Jinks fourth, Maid of
the Mist fifth, Chuck Luck sixth, Col. Tay-
Tor seventh. At the send off Jinks took the
lead and held it till he reached the three
quarter pole, when he was cOllared by the
Belle, who crossed the score and came in
several lengths ahead with ease.
Second Heat -Jinks again got the lead
and came in ahead, followed by OWegO, the
Maid, Chuck Luck, the Belle, MOonshine
and Col. Taylor in the order named. Time
2:5O5.
Third Heat.-After a number of false
starts they got away under a pull. They
went round in $50 and came under the
string in the following order: Capt. Jinks
OwegO, Chuck Luck, MOOnshine, the Maid
and Col. Taylor. Nashville Belle was shut
/ out for ''fOul."
Fourth health this Owego surprised q
good many by coming to the front anC
winning the heat in ESQ, followed by the
rest in the order named: Jinks, the Maid
Chuck Luck and MOOnshine, Col. Taylor
having been distanced.
Fifth Heat-Evelybody now seemed at Z
loss to nick the winner, and there was ;
considerable diversity of opinion. Aftel
wasting some little time they got of, made
the heat in 2:5333, and came home Will

Literary Entertainment.

A lively interest continues to be eXhib-
tied at the Thursday Dighs meetings held
at the Federal Court room. a good audi
ence assembled last night to hear the liter
ary exercises, which were Of much inte--
est and fully appreciated. The song with
which the exercises opened was followed
BY a recitation, "The Two Weayers, by
Miss PalmertOn. An essay read by Prof.
Cobb, entitled San Echo from Yesterday,
was of highly interesting character. The
object of the esssayist was TO show that
the forces Of nature are in a constant an
taconism, and that out Of the decay Of one
form of life and matter another springs;
that life was the consequent Of death. Ma
tuTe was the great and relentless destroyer,
and had made the crusts of the earth the
graveyard Of her victims. But If Nature
destroyed she also built, and evolved from
forms passing away, others more noble and
perfect. Just as nature developed her
progressive creations, so man was I'M
proving his social and civil relations; the
supremacy Of physical force had given way
to the reign of the intellect and moral
ideas.
