2A. The Nashville Gazette intimates
that Major Alden, the Radical candi-
date for Mayor of that city, has been in
toxicated ever since his nomination.
The Gazette fails to state whether he is
intoxicated with his success or some
thing stranger. AS he has already one
and will probably have two opponents in
his own party, we presume it to be the
latter.

Injunction TO PREVENT THE EXTENSION
OF CRY LIMyys.-Applications have been
made to Judge Meredith in three distinct
cases for injunctions against the extension
of the city limits. One is by creditor Of
the county Of Henrico, who claims that
the ability Of the county to pay his de-
mand against it will be thereby greatly
impaired, and his debt be put in jeopardy.
Another party takes the ground in his pc
tition for an injunction that there is no
power in the Legislature to alter the boun-
darics of a city or county that has status
in the Constitution.


Colonel Sherwin McRae on Saturday
concluded his argument on behalf of the
petitioners, and Raleigh I. Daniel, city at
torney, is to reply.


To-day the law extending the city limits
goes into effect.

THE BLOOM OF AGE.-A good


woman never grows old. Years may


pass over her head, but if benevO-
lence and virtue dwell in the heart
she is as cheerful as when the spring
of life first opened to her view
When we look upon a good woman
we never think other age; she looks
as charming as when the rose of
youth first bloOmed on her cheek
That rose had not faded yet; it will
never fade. In her neighborhood
she is the friend and benefactor.-
Who does not respect and love the
woman who has passed her days in
acts of kindness and mercy We
repeat, such woman cannot grow
old. She will always be fresh and
buoyant in spirits, and active in
humble deeds OF mercy and benevo-
lcnce. If the young lady desires TO
retain the bloom and beauty OfyOuth,
let her not yield to the sway of fash
ion and folly; let her love truth and
virtue, and to close off lie she will
retain those feelings which now
make l'fe appear garden OF sweets


ever fresh and ever new.

VARNIsH FOR SHOES.-lt is a bad
plan to grease the upper leather OF
shoes for the purpose OF keeping
them soft it rots the leather and
admits dampncss more readily. 1t
is better to make a varnish thus:
Put half a pound of gum shellac-
broken up in small pieces--in q
quart bottle or jug ; cover it with nj.
cohol, cork it tight, and put it oh o
shelf in warm place ; shake 1t well
several times day then add
piece of camphor as large as hens
egg shake it well, and in a few
hours shake it again, and add ono
ounce of lamp black. lfthe alcohol
is good it will all be dissolved in
three days-then shake and use.
If it gets too thick, add alcohol ;
pour out two or three teaspoonfuls
in saucer, and apply it with q
small paint brush. II the materials
are all good, it will dry in about five
minutes, and will be removed only
by wearing it off, giving u gloss al
most equal 10 patent leather. The
advantage of this preparation over


others is, it does not strike into the


leather and make it hard, but re-


mains on the surface, and yet ex'
