AN IMPORTANT CHANGE.

Or March 1, Dr. William B. Phillips will sever his connection with the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railway company, and will open an office in this city for the examination of mining property, re- porting on technical processes, such as coal washing, saving of by-products, etc, and for the promotion of legitimate industrial enterprises. He leaves the employment of the company because of the reduction of expense that has been ordered. Last year there were four chemists in the laboratory, and the force is now to be reduced to one man. Dr. Phil lips has been with the Tennessee com pany since May, 1893, holding the posi- tion of consulting chemist, and having entire charge of the laboratory. which is the best equipped iron laboratory in the south. When he went with the com pany there was only small laboratory at Bessemer He has built the large lab ora tory up, and made 10000 estimations.

 Say Au Revoir, But Not Goodbye" was written by Harry Kennedy, the ven- triloquist and song writer Hehad no mu- sical education, but had a genius for melody and knack of writing taking words.'
 "Massa Tn De Cold, Cold Ground' is one of the best compositions of stephen c. Foster. He received the suggestion of the song in Covington, Ky. He heard a slave bewatling the fact that his good old master was dead, and that he and several other slaves, old and worn-out in service, would pass into the hands of less kindly owners.
 "Old Folks at Home," of which over 40O 900 copies have been sold, was writ ten by stephen c. Foster, who wrote nearly 300 songs, words and music. E. P. Christy, of minstrel fame, paid $400 for the privilege of having his name put forth as it's author and composer for a single edition. The song is commonly known as "The Suwanee River," and is favorite the world over.
 My Old Kentucky Home" is said to have been suggested to Stephen c. Eos ter on hearing an old negro speak with love and longing of his old home in Kentucky. Several of MT. Fosters best songs were composed on pieces of brown wrapping paper, in the back room of little grocery store in New York.

Dr. Russell, the founder of these institu- tions, is thoroughly adapted for the inn portant undertaking, as the thousands of crooked, deformed and diseased, who have been strengthened, remedied and cured al his institution, can testify. He is a graduate of Bellevue Hospital and Medical college, of New York, and King s college, of London, and has spent much of his time in Europe, studying at the great medical centers. He has invented and patented the cathode reflector, an instrument by which the. cathode rays become much more powerful. The name of Dr. Russell is household word as far as the State Herald circulates, and his remarkable cures have caused the peo- pie to look upon him with gratitude and the profession with envy.

A SOUTHERN BOY.
e Democrat.

Gun tersYille Democrat.
 There are thousands of boys and young men in this country who are prone to tahe matters entirely too easy, waiting, like Micawber for something to turn up.
 These should find encouragement to get hustle on themselves by reading about our young friend and former neighbor in Nashville, now one of the most eminent astronomers in the United States, Prof. E. D. Barnard, of the Lick observatory, in California.
 One day not many years ago bright boy found employment in a photograph gallery in Nashville. His wages were small, but he took good care of them, and in course of time he had saved up a snug little sum of money.
 His ambition was awakened by work of astronomy, by Dick, and 1t so fascinated him that he sat up all night studying it. He had never seen anything which so filled him with delight. He de- termined to learn all that he could about the wonders of the heavens and began thenceforth to read everything he could obtain relating to astronomy.
 The next step was to buy small spy glass, and night after night he spent most of the hours on the roof of his home studying the stars. He secured, second hand, the tube of a large spy glass, into which he fitted an eyepieee, and sent to Philadelphia for an object glass. By and by he obtained a five-ineh
 
 ment of considerable size.
 Meanwhile he worked faithfully in the shop of the photographer, but his nights brought him rare delight; for he never wearied of tracing out the marvels and wonders of the worlds around us.
 With the aid of his large spyglass he discovered two comets before they were seen by any of the professional astron- omers, whose superior instruments were continually roaming the heavens in search of the celestial wanderers. This exploit made the boy famous. He was invited by the professors in Vanderbilt university to go thither and see what he could do with their slx-inch telescope. In the course of the four years follow ing he discovered six comets.
 He was next engaged by the Lick ob- servatory, in California. With the aid of that magnificent 36-inch refracting tele- scope the largest ever made, he discoy cred eight comets, and last summer as- tonished the world by discovering the fifth satellite of Jupiter. He invented new method of photographing the nebu- lac in the milky way, and has shown an originality approaching genius in his work in star photography.
