Railroad Matters.

We learn that Judges w. b.
Wood, of Alabama and c. G..
Smith, of this city, will address the
people of the Southside at McAlis-
ter's X RoIds On next Friday, the
18th inst, and the citizens of Dick
sou county, at Stokes Store, Satur-
day, the 18th, and at Charlotte, on
Monday, the Goth inst.
They will address the people on
the subject of the contemplated
railroad from Mobile, Ala, 10
Evansville, Ind, running through
Dickson and other counties south
of us and by way of GAINESVILLE.
1t is earnestly desired that the
people on the Southslde and in
Dickson county, turn out and hear
these gentlemen discuss this rail-
road project. There is no section Of
country along the entire line of the
road that will be more benefited,
or which should be more interested
in its speedy construction. If they
will meet the very fair and gener-
Gus offers of the projectors of this
road, with a like liberal spirit, there
will be no doubt about the early
building of the road. There is a
large area OF comparatively worth
less and undeveloped land lying in
these sections, which will be in
creased tenfold i'll value if this road
is run through there, and they can
welIafford to listen to the PROPOSE
tions of these gentlemen and make
them liberal donations of land.
The good citizens of this section
have everything to make and moth
ing to lose by this enterprise, and
we feel confident that when they
hear on what fair terms the road is
to be built they will be heartily in
favor of it.
There will be meeting of the
Board of Directors of the NJ. G. &
+. r. R., at the Bank of Clarks-
vile, this morning at ii O'Clock,
when books will be opened for sub
scriptiOns of stock.
The ineorpOrators and managers
of the Kentucky division of this
road will meet at Princeton, KY,
on next Wednesday, the 10Th inst,
when reports. of the subscription
committees will be received and
the general business of the road dis
cussed. There is expected to be Il
large attendance of those Interested

a correspondent writing from
Berlin, Germany, says, that,
from recently published statistics,
dealing with the causes of suicide
in the German army, it is found
that large percentage of the self
destruction which has lately as
sumed such formidable proportions
in that branch of the Fatherland's
national defences, is ascribed to the
melancholy and WEAKNESS of life,'
resulting from disappointment in
love-"
1t is really touching TO think of
these great big, burly German sol
diers "shuffiing off the mortal coil"
to escape from the "pangs of de-
spised love-" We should sooner
think they would perish from an

heard the various musical entertain

lack Of ability to read music readily is
also known by those who know the
amount Of study it hes required to bring

The Electric Light.

The power necessary to furnish in
candes.vnt burner lights is found by
practical experience to be much less
than il supposed. At the Moulton mill
seven lights IRE kept going with . five
horse power engine. The expense OF
lighting the city Of Butte by this method
when once put in operation, will Ike 80
little that tax payers will wonder it has
not been adopted long since. Would it
not le well for council and business:
men generally to consider the subject ut
once:
Estimating that one lamp at each COR
ner and lNtweeli each two corners will
thoroughly illuminate u square, u fifty
horse power engine will furnish ample
power for the five principal squares of
Butte.
