Nashville, Jan: 1.—Tho now Fisk university, named lu honor of Goneral 'Carleton L. Fisk, was formally dedicated to-day in thapresence of a large assemblage of persons, white and black. Governor Porter and the Stite officials were in attendance. Bishop M. O. Tyeire, of the Methodist Church South, 4 and quite a number of clergymen and educators were present. Gen. Fiak, who is President of the Board of Directors, presided, and made an opening address, which embodied an earnest and eloquent plea fer cordial relations "between the races, for the education and elevation of the colored people, for the cultivation of a liberal and patriotic feeling everywhere abounding as it did in most generous sentiments towards tho Southern people, and urged that the dead past bury its dead. It excited the warmest commendation.

Gov. Porter, £ishop of Tyeire, exCommissioner Smith, President of the Howard University, and others present, made addresses. The occasion was a notable one making an important era in the" advancing intelligence and prayers of the negro race in this South. The university building cost $120,000, nearly all of which was raised by the Jubilee Singeis. Mrs. Fisk, by personal effort in New York, raised sufficient funds to furnish the iorty rooms of the building. The institution partakes somewhat of the nature of a .Normal

The University was established and is run under the auspices of the American Missionary Society, but various denominations are represented in the corps of teachers and professors.

THE MOSEL.

A MESSENGER FROM SEA.

The Experience of a Bjstaadcr.

New York, Jan.(Japt. Franche, of the steamship Salica which arrive ed yesterday was the bearer of a letter to the German Consul at New York, and had instructions to permit no one but proper authorities to board or leave the vessel until the Consul had read tbe letter. It was written by the Bremenhaven authorities during the intense excitement following the dynamite explosion, under the impression that possibly some traces that would lead to additional facts in regard to the explosion might be obtained on the sailer, nothing, however, had been discov ered. One passenger, speaking of the explosion, says: I was leaning against the mast of the Mosel enjoying the scene when suddenly I fell flat on my face, and heard a terrific noise. I thought that the boiler of the Mosel had exploded, first, and then I imagined that it must certainly be the boiler of a steam tug alongside. Pieces of wood, iron, glass and parts of human bodies were falling around and upon me. The scene was awful. Tbe steerage survivors of the Deutschland were each presented with six dollars. The balance of subscription raised in Loudon and to-day will4and and leave for their destination.

New York, Jan. 3.—Charles F. Mueller -of Milwaukee was on the Mosel at the time of the explo* sion, says he was thrown down the stairway of the cabin, and recover ing he went forward and saw the dock covered with dead bodies and pools of blood. The bodies were mostly striped of their clothing, some were perfectly naked. I covera of a of dead boys, men and women. I saw Hebrew on a trunk stripped of his clothing, and apparently wounded, his head was falling back and heap peared to be suffocating, I took some bad clothes out of a trunk that was burst open by explosion and made a comfortable seat for him. Five minutes afterwards he died. A sailor kindly brought him some water but his mouth was filled with coagulated blood, and he could not swallow the water, 1 then attended to a young lady screaming for help denuded of all her clothing from her waist, I covered her over with some sheeting, she was wounded in her back she had been struck with a bar of iron from the deck railing3.

THE DYNAMITE DEVIL.

A Man Who Knew Him in This World Tells What He Knows About Him. Berlin, January 2.—A German, who made a signature of Kerr K., gave in the Dresden Naohricheten some facts in reference

to Thomas, whoso name is

notorious in connection with the dynamite explosion. He says: Thomas was born in 1838 or 40, in the town of Bochalf, Westphalia. When two years old his father went to America and became a carriage builder in Brooklyn. Herr~K. became acquainted with Thomas in 1852 at the Neolto commercial school in Osnabruck. In the summer of 1875 Herr K. met a gentleman at Kneicbt's Herr K. met a gentleman at Kneioht't B'erhalle, in Dresden, speaking German, who proved to be Thomas, and who, it was fully approved, had been born and educated in Germany. Thomas spent from 1867 to 1875, the last -eight years, in Germany. Capt. Ruckenstein told me to-day that Thomas, last year, shipped on the steamer Rhein. from Bremen to New York, a box that he said contained greenbacks, and which he wished to insure. The officers of tbe steamer thought that, such insurance was unnecessary* Thomas followed in the Celtic. The inference is that a similar plot was contemplated for the Rhein.

The note drawn up by Count Androssy, Austrian Premier, relative to reforms in Turkey, has received the approval of Russia, and, it is understood, has been dispatched to the guaranteeing powers. The note proposes equity of all religions denominations, and the introduction of a provisional and communal self-govern-ment, and that the first results of these changes lu the insurgent provinces shall be the imposition of taxation by the provinces themselves, and the abolition of serfdom.

CUBA.

An Engllihmna Wh» About 9nr Melittions and Spain.

London, Jan. 3.—The Manchester Guardian's London correspondent writes as follows on the sublect of Spain, Cuba and the United States: •'I have been furnished with what purports to be the substancs oi America's Cuban vote. I believe it is correct, thrugh I do not pretend to give the exact language. It recites that the general interests of humanity and commerce demand a cessation of tbe truggle which has been going on in Cuba for seven years. The United States are great sufferers, but are unwilling tQ act without the concurrence of other powers, inducing Spain. The contiunatlon of attempt to govern Cuba from

Madrid, will be fatal to all hopes of the restoration of peace, nevertheless Cuba belongs to Spain, and a great share of the population is opposed to separation. In these circumstances the solution of the question might be

On Friday evening last, at a ball given at the house of Samuel Downey, a, farmer living in Sugar Creek township, a fellow by tho name of Charles Harrington, made himself very obnoxious to th9 company and Downey attempted to eject him from the house. Harrington drew a revolver and shot Downey on theleft side of the abdomen. As soon as l^je fchot hed been fired Harrington fled. The wound is a very serious one, and Downey's recovory is highly improbable. Dr. Stone, of Sugar creek, attended the wounded man and pronounced the wounds fatal, but up to noon to-day Downey was alive. Sheriff Carico dispatched deputies Cleary and Balding to the scene of the shooting. They were accompanied by Coroner Boston who had been informed that the victim ot the shooting was dead. Tbe Coroner returned in disgust last night, repotting that the man was alive and resting quite easily. The officers were close upon tbe fugitive at last accounts.

He found that tbe girl biad beed adopted by Wheeler, a^drygoods merchant, but he had been dead a dozen years, and there was no trace of the girl's whereabouts sinpe. Being discouraged, he started West again, but on the train, a little way out of Boston, be noticed among a bevy of girls who entered the cars one who remarkably resembled his mother. He left the train when they did, and found that it was indeed his sister, who was living with her poor adopted mother. She had never been tola that she was an adopted child, and it was long before she realized her situation. The young lady could not be prevailed upon to accompany her brother West, but as she looks upon the luxuries with which she and her adopted mother have been surrounded by her brother, she eDjoys the pleasure... cf a real romance.

-HARP£R'£ BAZAR. ILLUSTRATED.

The Bazar is edited with a combination of tact and talent that we seldom flucJ in any journal and the journal itself is :he orean ot the great world oi f^uhion.—Boston. Traveler.

The Bazar commends itserf to every member of the household—the chi :druu by droll »nd pretty pictures, to theyoun? ladies by its ash ion plates in ennless variety, to the provident matron uy lis patterns for she children's clothes, to paterfamilias by its tasteful designs for embroidered slippers and luxurious dieting gowns. But tbe reading matter of the Bazar is uniformly ot great excellence. The paper has acquired a wide popularity for the fireside CDjoyment It affords.—Neio York Evening Post.

In its way there is nothing like it. Fresn and trustwoithy as a fashion guide, its storiee and essays, its poetry and .squibs, are all invigorating to the mlud.—Cnicaga Evening Journal,
