read lite following letter from Col Colyar: NkwYons March 14 1887 my colored friends of Nashville: Having been informed of your purpose to make some testimonial of your appreciation Of supposed services rendered by me in behalf of a number of colored citizens who were recently involved In what turned out to be not only groundless but a wholesale malicious transaction and seemg from the papers that this was to be done Wednesday evening and having been called away to this city on business 1 am not willing the CCMRion should pass by the seeming indifference which my absence unexplained would imply Your committee will please deliver the testiMen MI whatever it may be to my young friend and kinsman Albert Marks who will read to you this letter and make thankful acknowledgments of my appreciation Your gratitude in this manifestation of the small favor shown some of your people by mete exceptionally conspicuous and strengthens my long entertained views of the generous impulses of your race Iratitude with many people is a lively sense of favors to come That you should gratefully remember so trivial a service as that rendered by me and that it is a bond of friendship makes a pleasing incident in life's journey Believing that the only to protect the innocent and punish the about to be used as an engine of oppression I believed it to be a duty and found It to be an easy task to exposethe malicious purpose This was a mere incident of life and passed front my mind until I saw in the newspapers your purpose to gratefully remember IL I am not unmindful of existing race prejudice but in my opinion the colored people who though in law possess equal rights with the other race and who are and will be for a long time in some measure dependent will find among the people who know theta best the truest friendship While slavery In Its very nature entailed upon your race Its attendant weaknesses not to say vices which in the very nature of things It will take time the school-house new domestic life and training to obliterate it is an admitted fact with all fair men in the South that the colored man is not as vindictive or revengeful now but on the other hand be is a man of kindly feelings Impulsive with true ard warm friendship a he attachments of the colored people when they were slaves to the white people with whom they lived the family ties and kindly obligations which they recognized though in slavery and especially their freedom from all malice towards the people who held them in slavery during the long struggle in which their freedom was incidentally Involved must forever make a bond of friendship between the races The descendants of the white EMIR of that four years of trial If they appreciate the relations then existing must ever give to the descendants of the colored men of that day a friendly hand and rejoice to see them good calms and sharers in the great blessing of freedom and happy in the enjoyment of a country whose political and religious freedom give confidence and hope to the humblest in the land That in the long years to come the two races In this beautiful southiand where they have been placed by an inscrutible and All-wise Providence may live together and enjoy alike the blessings of free government I most devoutly pray Tendering you my most sincere thanks for your expression of friendship lam gratefully your friend A COLYAR Hon Napier after the foregoing letter was read turned to the audience and made a few happy remarks expressive of his appreciation In doing what be had done he had only a feeling of duty to his race and the communfty and he therefore felt that the handsome token was more than he deserved He inentinned several others who had worked in the same cause entitled to credit and thanks The speaker spoke of the stand made by Tag AKERICAN in the struggle between morality and immorality and the attempt of his people to rise to a higher plane and of its instrumentality in accomplishing the great victory With a few words of hope as to the future Mr Napier concluded and after music from the orchestra the crowd dispersed The prevalent idea 'among the admirers of Miss Pixley in Nashville is that she came here several years ago a new huitator of the Lotta crude but talented and ambitious The idea that she was an all-round actress never occurred to anybody until the production of "The Deacon's Daughter" "The impression that I am ambitious or ever have been Of rivaling Lotta is a mistake" said she after the play last might "I have never thought of such a thing The fact is when I took "M'ilis" up eight years ago I had to work down to it You may think that's strange but its the truth I had always been connected with relined comedy I have acted a great deal in the Shakspearian roles Ophella and Destittnuma9 and In high comedy parts I thought of taking up Peg Woffingtom this year but gave up the idea and decided that one new play was enough for this season "The Deacon's Daughter" was not written for me either as you all seem to think Mr Gunter read me two acts of a new play he had and I said I thought it would suit Ise and then I asked him to put in a boy's part lop are perfectly right in saying the piece is faulty and I am going to change it Now my husband has a theory that the second act should be rearranged entirely and show llomewebb resigned to her old surroundings temporarily perforating the chores dutifully and affectionately but no longer the Ruth of a former day as she still is as the act stands now You see?" "Try a straight comedy play one night the next time you play in Nashville" was suggested "I shall Now there is this play of "Mliss" You can't think how I toned that piece down People said I acted it In the light of a Western experience The fact is I never knew anything about such a life They had me draw a pistol not less than ten times in the first act But I saw a tine character in M'tiss a soft nature and a gentle heart The fact is I have reached a point now when I want to get clear away from the hoyden and wear petticoats and not short dresses Never mind next year I hope I shall be able to give you what you want a straight piece of refined comedy Now Lotta is a specialist I am not a specialist at all and never have wished to become one The idea of Imitating Lotta is absurd No one can successfully do that It used to amuse me to hear my Nashville friends refer to me as a beginner of the soubrette order" "How did you get into soubrette lines?" "I can't tell you how It Just kind of accident Oh I do want so much a play that such a woman as Mrs John Drew for instance when she was younger would have taken a delight in But I want it to be new and I can't find a new play any day" "And I used to sing in light opera You didn't know that either? Well I did but It is hard work and not to my taste Do you know that nowadass the recipe for a light opera is a given number of pretty chorus girls and a beautiful ensemble and there's your light opera It doesn't require much in the way of good singing and the public generally do not care for it No I have never played refined comedy in the East only "M'ills" and that ilk and "The Deacon's Daughter" the former I played seven years ago in New York the latter I shall play there this season" Miss Pixley was born in Brooklyn and in early childhood was taken to the Pacific Coast and raised a Western girl PUBLIC AUCTION- About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek and the doctors pronounced It cancer I have tried a number of physicians but without receiving any permanent benefit

extraordinary -1 event was on the tapis The hotel registers yonterday morning revealed the fact that i there were in the city men from twenty-two States This circumstance alone is a grail4 tying index of the interest which Nashville 1 is exciting in all part' of the Union Wide- awake men in even remote sections are awakening to the fact that not Birmingham or Chattanooga are the places offering great- 1 eat advantages to capital but that invest ment in the capital of Tennessee promises the richeet rewards The star of Nuhville's destiny has men The second of the two fundamental elements of any substantial progress is being rapidly supplied The i union of our incomparable natural Raven sges with capital is being consummated Under quickened perception of almost I limitless opportunities coffers which have 1 ilong lain bidden in the vaulta of our banks and our storehouses are being titilized to 1 seize upon the tribute which 1 NATURX HAS IA)NO OFFERED 1 to intelligence and industry and even now the results Are wide in their beneficence But the fulleet development can be attained eoonest by thecombined application of home 1 and foreign money and the presence there- fore of so many moneyed men in the city is a sure index of early and remarkable The observant Nashvillian cannot fail to note the unparalleled number I' trains strangers in their midst The railroad trains hotel corridors realestate offices and 1 every thoroughfare tell the tale of the city's new born attractiveness Day after day every available vehicle from the livery stables Is pressed into service to convey visitors to the suburbs and into the adjacent territory and inspection of our surroundings rarely fails to result in a purchase Only yesterday a Chattanooga gentleman bought lots In West End near the fair grounds for $80 a foot and at every point of the compass are found day after day MEN EMER TO BUY THE ANERIcAN has heard of no one who after visiting Birmingham Atlanta Chattanooga and Memphis and then come to this city who did not say that Nashville possessed superior advantages to each Every day fresh proof of confidence in the city is seen Men are coming here on every train from these other cities and investing their money In preference to all other points The tide Is setting in and bearing the city onward with a power which is swelling with every day The Bureau of Information the real emtate offices and even private citizens are flooded with letters from all parts of the i country and replies seldom fail to bring the correspondent to the city The Bureau of 4 Information is permanency Handsome offices have been fitted up on Union street between Cherry and College and a corps of efficient gentlemen are always there ready to meet strangers and answer correspondnts upon any topic relating to the development of the city A THE REAL ESTATE SALES YESTERDAY were numerous and the market smooth arid active The Spring Park sale was one of the notable events of the day the attendance large and theprices excellent Agents reported increased demand for suburban property in every direction Several very large contracts are under way and business promises to be exceedingly brisk to-day There is one thing however which should be remedied The time for payments Is not sufficiently long and the cash payments required too large Not more than a third cash should be demanded and the remainder scattered over one and two years At present nearly all sales are made one-half cash which is calculated to frighten off the man with a small amount of capital He does not want to lock it up in one investment ME WEST NASIITILLE RAILROAD Quick railroad building will be witnessed by those who take the care to drive in the 'West Nashville area Rodemer a man of experience in the business secures the contract and is to complete the road in five weeks from yesterday THE ANERIcAN has already stated that the Ai road will follow the track a good distance

American: The Senate yesterday amended the House bill so that the Board of Public Works are to be elected by wards There is but one Democratic ward In the city The Republicans have carried that ward on more than one occasion The House bill provided for a non-partisan Board of Public Works to be elected by general ticket one each year and for rotation so that the political complexion of the Board was to change each year Petitions to the Senate signed by several hundred Democrats and Republicans asked for a bond bill with the non-partisan feature No petition signed by any Democrat failed to ask for this non-partisan feature After the Senate bad struck out this feature and thus passed the bill some of the delegation from Chattanooga charged the Republicans with bad faith They said that the House bill was non-partisan and had been agreed on as a compromise measure and that the Republicans in the Senate in striking out the non-partisan clause had played a sharp Radical trick Some of the delegation said that the signatures of Democrats to the petition to the Senate had been obtained to pass the House bill and no other The effect of this bill if it becomes a law was discussed by the Chattanooga delegation Col Neal was elected to Congress from the Third District two years since by less than 100 votes and re-elected last year by less than 300 votes Five hundred thousand dollars in bonds in Chattanooga being expended two years hence will be a power which can control 500 to 1000 votes These bonds under the Senate bill will be handled by Republican and one Democratic Some of the Chattanooga Democrats in the delegation freely expressed the opinion that this bill if it becomes a law will make the Third Con- gressional District and Chancellor Key's Division Republican for the future Some of the Republican friends of the bond system said that this Democratic Senate had passed a better bill than they asked The House still has to act on the amendments made by the senate to

freight train in which several men recelyed severe injuries and much damage was done to the engines and cars The approach of the Geneva station is by a sharp curve and the engineer of the express did not see the freight until an instant before the collision Immediately after the accident the Geneva fire alarm was rung and the department accompanied by hundreds of persons hastened to the scene of the disaster The situation of the engines and contiguous cars makes it seem marvellous that the engineers and firemen were not crushed to death The engines met squarely and stand on the ground only a little removed from the rails Both pilots and headlighta were driven under the express engine The mail car which was attached to the engine of the express train was lifted from its trucks and carried

myself of the comet discovered here on the night of Feb 16 I have computed the following orbit: Perihelion passage March 26 5258 Greenwich mean time distance from node to perihelion 34 deg 83 min 8 sec longitude of node 184 deg 47 min 8 sec inciluation of orbit 139 deg 46 min 7 sec perihelion distance 93500000 miles The comet has been observed here regularly since discovery aud is now somewhat brighter than at first though theoretically It ought to be less than one-tenth as bright At the time of discovery on Feb 16 this object was 25000000 of miles from the earth The extremely great angular velocity of the comet at that time was due to the fact that the earth and it were moving In opposite directions and perpindicular to the line joining them It has been receding from the earth since discovery but approaching the sun not attaining its neareet approach to him until March 26 The comet has been very difficult to observe and requires a considerable telescope to see it at ail It le now about eight or ten degrees north of the Pleiades and moving slowly northwest The discovery was cabled from Boston to Kiel in Pruseia on the 17th of February at noon and from Kiel distributed to Europe and the Southern Hemisphere The telegram-reaching Paris on the night of the 17th the observers there sought the comet and succeeded in observing it that night at midnight No further Information concerning the great southern comet has been received and so we do not know how ft is now ap- to the inhabitants of the Southern trriiiielphere th The comet discoed here on the morning of Jan 24 la

their bill for the several orphan asylums of the State The asylum here has been in existence for nearly fifty years Its charter gives very limited powers and there is a great necessity for an enactment giving legal sanction to the work under Its present system A bill on this same subject wu paseed almost unanimously by both houses of the last Legislature but the text of the bill was ruined by an amendment granting authority to the asylums to apply to the county courts for the commitment of children to the asylums but failing to give the courts the authcrity to make such commitments The bill now under consideration is precisely what the Legislature intended to make the one passed two years ago It asks for no appropriation and will probably make no lengthy discussion as the only favor it asks is the exemption from taxation of a small amount of property of very little value The bill has already passed the Senate by a majority of at to 6 Will not the louse grant the short amount of time it would take to give this bill its third reading? The valuable work which the asylum here in Nashville has done for the State the hundreds of miserable little waitifit has provided with homes and thus elevated to good citizenship certainly gives it a claim uport the attention of our legislators MATHEMATICAL 5 '0000 INSTRUMENTS St ---e- CHICACO mh17 sa3t DEAFNESS Its muses and a enw sad 4 samessrat tuRE at yaw 1 own home by one who was deaf twenty-eight years Treated by most of the noted specialist without benefit CURED HIMSELF In three 1 months and since then hundreds of others 0 Pull particulars sent on application a PAGE No 41 West rairty-first street New York City not tuthsa '4 FYIar'" it'l '1 PRESCMPTICUS are Wb6 tioti it Om ku-Co "S('IllNCE of 11 EA ITIPI toe 40 A I the aveeciy cur of NerVgpi 141ilill ipot blikb 4- hood lie3poilliqwy elf A (01- of tlis hook will he soot free 401 Alores PlCII ENO? wt Ill HA LT lin 11to Sixth 4404mtrek 0 tillitn Mita Iv MATHEMATICAL INSTRUMENTS oo Madison St CHICAM mh17 sa3t Atto atoll Bliryma limos!
