SPECIAL NOTICES.
THE NASHVILLE WEEKLY
AMERICAN.
ONE Dollar for a year.

The next Presidential election will determine
questions of vital importance to every citizen
Of the Union. Upon its results will depend the
perpttuity of our republican form Of govern
ment. All these questions will be thoroughly
discussed in the present session of congress. 1t
is our desire and purpose, so far as we can con-
tribute TO that end, that every citizen shall be
fully informed upon all these questions of such
vast moment. Is our national government to
be henceforth an imperial despotism? Is the
bayonet to rule the ballot? Are the rights Of
the States. expressly reserved in the Constitu-
ton. to yield to centralized dictatiOn? Shall
arrogant and imperious party leaders, under
the cry of Liberty, rob the citizens of Liberty
Shall Nammon be the only deity who shall be
acknowledged as having divine rights? Shall
labor be deprived of its just reward? In order
TO bring it within the means of every man, me-
ehanie. farmer and laborer, in all vocations,
even in these hard times, 10 inform himself
what political parties are proposing. We have
reduced the terms OF the Weekly American to
ONE DOLLAR year; For six months, IS
cents; Three Tronths. 40 cents. The real value
of the paper II not be decreased with reduc.
lion of price; but will be vastly increased in
proportion t. price. Address

Clarksville Tobacco Leaf: Mr..
johnson, the tailor, had a negro en-
pleyed Tuesday. who, on leaving,
stole Mr.. Johnson's biz turkey-gob-
bier, brought it to town and sold it
to Mr.. Emil Bacherig, at the old
Tobacco Leaf corner, for rs cents.
Soon Mfr. J. came along and spied
his turkey, and was able to prove it
by the mark of the wing. The me-
gro vas arrested, owned to the theft,
and returned 65 cents of the money,
having spent dime. The negro was
sent to Jail to await the action of the
grand jury and the criminal court. for
which the county must pay $50 or
s100-as the law will have to take its
course-all for ten cents. We are Of

There are hints tina: the Pennsyl-
vania delegates to Chicago will not
obey the instructions given them by
the state convention; but, instead of
voting as unit for Grant, will vote
for whomever they individually prefer.
The Pittsburg Commercial says:
at is somewhat gratuitously taken
for granted that the delegates from
this state to the Chicago convention of
June End will vote as a unit for Gen.
Grant if Gen. Grant be candidate
1t has been decided again and again
that no delegate is bound by the ma
jority of the delegation. He is bound
only by the wishes of his constituents.
Many of the delegates chosen are gen.
tlemensuggested by their districts, and
who are already directed by their
constituents to vote for Senator Blaine.
That there may be no nisunderstan-
ding on the part of these delegates, it
would be well for county conventions,
which will soon meet to nominate To-
cal candidates, to pass resolutions in
structing the delegates of their district
how to vote. The unit rule is snare
of the machine, and should not be re-
spected. Precedent declares that it is
not binding. 1t should be made Who'll
iy obsolete" I

AMONG THE TEMPLES.
NUMBER TWO.


Here, in times past, many devoteps
having bequeathed their worldly good:
to the priests, hurled themselves into
eternity from these giddy heights, and
no wonder for we could easily imag-
inc how a scene so wierdly grand must
inspire the heather mind ard seal the
false teachings of a benighted priest.
hood. Now, however, the law holds
the priests personally responsible for
the lives of those who worship here,
and religious suicides are few. The
shadows OF dying day were gather
ing about the storm-tossed sea when
we reached the temple home, and all
that night the angry waves beat a
loud refrain through our dreams of
the shores beyond. The next day the
storm burst in all its fury. The
grand old building moaned and sway
ed in the wind, stout trees bowed AMI
and parted with their boughs, and
even the leaves were stripped off as
by an unseen hand. One large cedar
wss thoroughly splintered, and few
unhappy priests did penance by gath
ering up the fragments in the midst
of the storm. 1t was too dark to see,
andithe wind so fierce that we could
not keep light save on the floor.
Through it all our only fear was for
the precious home mail, which we
rightly Judged was in the very heart
of the storm. We took them as from
watery grave, when we read of the
dangers through which our letters
had passed. The next morning shed
a few tears over the ruthless work of
her sister day, then brushed away the
clouds and left us in the sunlight once
more. Still the sea ragged ard swept
de6antly around our rocky dressing
rooms. We tried to stretch tent on
the sandy beach, but the wind caused
it to collapse before it was fairly rails
ed. A kind old priest then offered
us the use of his temple. This we
gratefully accepted and took our ac>
customed plunge. Floating was easy
work over such high waves, and at
last | thought to try my swimming
powers, struck out boldly..for the shore
aud stuck fast in the sand. The
treacherous tide was out.

1t is interesting, and to many people
it may be profitable, to know the COM
parative value of different kinds of
wood for fuel. Shellbark hickory is
regarded as the highest standard of
our forest trees, and calling that 100,
other trees will compare, with it for
real value as fuel..fors house purposes
as follows. Shellbark hickory, 100;
pignut hickory; 92; white oak, "a,

worth bearing in mind that in wood
ofthe same species there is great diff
ference, according to the soil in which
they grow. A tree that grows on a
wet. low, rich ground will be less solid
and less durable for iuel, and therefore
