In little village in Virginia there
lived a family named Ransom. They
were not pious people-rather on the
reprobate order, in fact--and they
never went to church. Once, how
ever, during a revival, the family
were prevailed upon to attend preach
ing. When they made their reluctant
and tarly appearance the services
had begun, and they had scarcely
taken their seats when the preacher
gave cut the first hymn, reading it
somewhat thus: Return ye ransom

we didn't want to come. Exchange.

A cork descriptive Of Neo York City IN
ali ats yar1ous phases. It's ,Splcndors
and Wretched,ess Its High and Lou
Life: It's Marble Palaces and Dark
Dens Its Attractioms and Dangers; Its
RINGS and Frauds It's Leading lHea

Mysteries and Crimes. By james D.
McCabe, J. Is
What Paris is to the Frenchman, or
London to the Briton. New Y ork IS to
the American. 1t is not only the Metropo-
lis, but it is the chief attraction upon this
continent, the great center to which men
and women resort for both business and
pleasure, and as such is source of never
failing interest. Or late years several at
| tempts have been made to reproduce its
varied attractions i'll book form. The
most successful result of these efforts is
the book now before US. The author has
had unusual facilities to see every feature
of the great city. and has written the
work with an enthusiasm which is appar
ent in every page He has not merely
produced sensational story, but has
given US a record of actual facts, OF which
he is personally cognizant.
He tells US the history Of the great city
which has grown to be the most remark
able in America, and relates its old ira
ditions with zest and humor. He intro
duces us to all classes of people, and in
itiates us into their ways and manner of
life. He delights US with his sketches Of
the better and brighter side of city life,
OF the genius, enterprise, charity and hui
mainly of the great city, and appals US
with his thrilling accounts of the darker
and more terrible side of the life he is
delineating.
A truthful picture of New York life
cannot he otherwise than deeply interest
ing. Our author has succeeded admira-
bly, in his task. and we predict for his
book large sale. 1t is brim full of use
full information, brilliant and fascinating,
and an emphatic warning against the
vices of the city. 1t is pure and lofty in
tone, and while it discusses fully many of
the darker sides of city life, it does so
with delicacy and candor. An interesting
feature of the book is powerfully writ
ten history of the Tammany Ring frauds
with sketches of the actors therein.
It is comprised in one large octave vol
time of $50 pages. illustrated with nearly
200 fine engravings of noted places, life
and scenes in New York, and published
by the National Publishing Co., of Chi
cagO.
The low price at which the work is is
sued, brings it within the reach of all, and
no one who wants to know New Y ork as
it really is. should fail to buy this book.
1t is published in English and German,
sold by subscription only, and agents are
wanted In every county.

THE AMERICAN working people for
August, a welcome visitor to our table,
is before u.s. 1t is the leading tariff pub
LEGATION in America, and has circula-
ton of over thirty thousand and well
deserved popularity in twenty states Of
the Union. 1t is ably edited, forcibly
argumentative, without loss of attractive
ness, and goes right to the core Of all
phases of the great tariff question it dis
cusses. The historical, biographical, ar
gumentatiye, statistical and literary
matter with which it abounds, is full OF
interesting instruction and point. It's
agreeable and striking variety makes it
an excellent family journal, and it should
be in every household. Every page and
line in it beats in sympathy with the
cause Of labor and the men who labor in
workshop, farm and mill. and with all
who toll from the lowest to the highest
in every ayocation. The services of the
best political economist In America has
been secured, and its pages will contain
the most valuable contributions on all
the great industrial questions of the day.
We find 10 it the relations of labor and
capital clearly defined and new thoughts
presented, which, when popularized, will
remove many Of the difficulties which
surround that question. All should
have this magazine.

THE UNIVERSITY,
From the Madison State Journal.

The Wisconsin University is founded
upon land grants made by Congress in
1888. 1854 and 1862, the last being what
The total fund from the sale of lands last
leaves nincty-six thousand acres unsold.
The appraised value thereof is 1927 200,
so the total fund after all sales will be
little over half million dollars.
Up to 1868 not dollar had been Civ
en- to the University by the State. Dane
county had issued her bonds for $4,000
and bought the experimental farm of
about 200 acres, and erected suitable
buildings thereon, and in 1870 the Legis-
lature appropriated $4,000 for the Fee
male College building. Last winter an
appropriation of $4,000 annually from
the State Treasury was made. The
University is now we'll organized and will,
we trust, increase in usefulness until it
equals any State Institution in the
Union.
Each member of the Assembly has the
right to appoint student from his dis
trict, if the appointment is not filled. and
this student pays no tuition fee. Gradu-
ates OF Graded Schools with proper GER
ticates o. qualification from the princi-
pals therof, are, by act of the last Legis-
lature, also admitted free, thus closely
connecting the University with the pub
lie school system of the State, and pro-
viding for free tuition. from the primary
schools to the University.
AS now organized. it comprises the
College of Arts and of Letters, with the
Law and Female Colleges, where students
may pursue specialities or regular
course. 1t is we'll arranged to give a
student just the advantages he may de-
sire. without compelling him to lumber
his mind with what he does not want.
