NASHVILLE MARKET REPORT.


Corrected from the Nashville Union every
Thursday evening.
No improvement has occurred in
the general trade. Business Of all
kinds is very dull, and will in all
probability continue so for some time
to come.
Flour was steady with a fair local
demand.
Wheat was held steady with but
very little inquiry.
Corn was steady and in better de-
mand, though by no means active.
FeedstutfS were unchanged.
Provisions were quiet and fraction
ally lower.
Groceries were dull but steady.
Sugars remain very firm. Nails are
steady and a shade higher.
Country produce was very quiet
with no changes in the market. Eggs
continue dull at &c. Butter was in
fair request. Hens are dull. Young
chickens are in good request for the
larger sizes. Potatoes-Some small
lots have been brought forward, but
in very imperfect condition, not
suitable for shipment. In other arti-
Giles no change was reported.
Wool continues quiet and I'M
changed. The receipts are light.
The following in regard to wool is
taken from the weekly report of Fen
no & Manning, Boston, under date of
last Saturday:
Business, if anything, has been
rather quieter in the wool market
during the last week, and some symp-
toms of weakness are manifest among
holders of old lots of fieeces, most of
which, however, are inferior or off
condition, and the figures at which
they are selling are no criterion of
what good conditioned, bright new
woods would sell for here; realizing
this, the owners are urging them, in
order to get them out Of the way be-
fore the new clip comes along.
"There is no marked change tonote
in prices of general market, nor do
we see signs of any in the near future.
Values Of wool arecertainly very low,
but as we have often before said, 50
are they Of every other class of mer-
chandise, and wool growers must re-
alize this, and carefully consider ii
before sacrificing their floclls, or neg
Letting their lambs, which we hear
they are doing in many sections OF
the country. Sheep husbandry will
compare favorably with most other
kinds Of business ut the present time
running a wooden mill for instance
and it is certainly no time to get
out of a staple and legitimate business
when it is at its lowest ebb The
bulk Of the population Of the world
must wear out wooden goods, and
therefore wool raising in series OF
years will certainly show Il fair profit.
When prices are at their lowest, the
greatest care should be given to it,
instead of the utmost neglect which
prevails in many sections which arc
fit for no other industry, and those
growers who are pursuing this policy
will one day reap their reward. In
loWpriced years thefock by iudiciou-
purchases and careful culling should
be improved, and especial pains ta
ken to stop leaks and extra expenses
and preparations made for the better
times coming"

Newport is the great show place for beauty

order. abound here, and beauty abounds. There
is probably more beauty concentrated now at
Newport than anywhere in the country. It is
said of Mrs. Astor who, by the way was Phil

Italian court the Queen exclaimed els it posi-
bic that anyone can be so beautiful" She is a
brunette of the Spanish type. She had out with
her the other day Miss Langdon, the famous
beauty and heress of New York. Another car
riage that excited nearly as much attention
was that containing Mrs Gray, of New York,
who is brunette, and Mrs Helyer. the cele-
brated English beauty who is visiting her. They
were both dressed in white India silk. Mrs
Helyers dress was trimmed with pearl netting,
and she wore white peaked.up bonnet and tan
gloves wrinklad at the arm. Each had big
transparent white parasols, with big loops of
narrow white ribbon punched Oh top Seated in

Earthquakes and Cholera.
Problems of Nature.


This seourge of the human family is the con-
sequence of an earthquake. A bare depletion of
the atmosphere of sufficient amount of cleo
tricity is the cause of all the bacilli In blood
vessel or stomach. The scourge is sure to be
found where an earthquake of considerable ex-
tent has taken place in the old world. a COM
parison of the chronology of these puffs of cleo
tricity from the earth with the ravages of
cholera, will prove what is stated. To-day the
disease is still produced where few months ago
the whole coast of Spain was disturbed by
sweep Of this influence out Of the earth The
small extent of disturbance on the coast of Italy
few months previously gave an equal extent
of cholera in that country. Only cold season
or more violent winds allayed the disease in
Spain for short time. The disease is decreas-
ing in extent in proportion to the acquiring of an
appropriate condition of atmosphere. Let every
doctor and scientist examine the cholera record
and the earthquake record, and deny the state
ment that the earthquake produces cholera.
When it is decided, let them give the records of
the occurrence of disease and earthquake. When
an earthquake takes place great puff Of cleo
tricity is passing oct of the ground, and it
sweeps through the atmosphere, decOmposing
all the small and unseen creations in it.

Boston Letter.


To recur to Mrs. jackson, a near friend of hers
in this city tells that some of the sketches of
her life have given very erroneous impression.
They represent her as weak and frail, and as
writing her verses and stories under the burden
of an overwhelming sorrow. This is essentially
an incorrect picture. Physically, she was an
active, healthy strong woman of large heavy
form. She was fond Of good things,
and lived ard dressed we'll Her taste
in dress is said to have been exquisite, and her
abundant means enabled her to indulge it
without taking her thoughts from more serious
matters. She did pass through terrible
experiences, and her first volume of verse came
out of her trials and sufferings. But she was
essentially of a buoyant nature and this trait
was evident clearly IN her writings. Her devo-
ton to the cause of the Indians was intense.
Her whole heat was in her work for them, and
she once remarked to a friend here regarding her
novel on Indian affairs: 1T was not written by
me. but through me- 1t is known that to the
last she persisted in maintaining the mystery
about Sake Holm" But her many friends here
have no doubt of the truth.
