The above is fac smile of label we
are placing upon q whisky we have sue
ceeded in getting control OF with some
difficulty. All of the physicians to whom
we have shown it pronounce it superior
to anything yet brought to this market for
medical and family use.
Almost all writers and eminent prac-
ticioners of medicine admit and recon-
mend whisky-when of good quality--as
preferable as . medicinal agent to brandy
for various reasons, the most important Of
which is: it is much more likely to be of
good quality, as its mode of manufacture
is simpler; its action in low fevers as a
diffusive stimulant is equal to brandy in
potency, while it does not produce the
painful burning in the stomach so often
complained of when brandy is used; in
staying the waste of tissue of consu mp
ton of the lungs, nothing, except it may
be cod liver oil, has yet been found to
equal it. The above being true, the diff
ference in price should be taken into con-
sideration, which is quite an item usually
to those who are so unfortunate as to be
i'll. A single trial of our goods we are as
sured will convince the purchaser it is
something superior to anything they ever
used of the kind.

PERsoNALITIEs.-Our paper has re-
Gently been the channel of personal
quarrel. This has done neither the
paper nor the parties engaged any
good. Had we foreseen, in publishing
the first communication, that it would
lead TO what it did of course we would
have refused to insert it. But the
trouble is that these quarrels are upon
us before we know it. We may inno-
Gently publish communication re-
fiecting on some party or parties. We
may know nothing of the intention of
the writer. Then we must admit the
reply, and so the first we know, we
have quarrel on our hands. We de-
sire that our citizens shall write for
our paper when they have anything to
say which will interest the pu bile, but
trust they will be careful about person.
alities. a covert attack leads to I'M
pleasant results in a majority of cases.
We have tried to avoid these personal
quarrels as much as possible, but in
spite of care they will thrust them
selves upon us occasionally.
In this connection we may say we
have communication before US sign
ed "Dow No. D. which Is objectiona-
BILE in that it abuses, in strong terms,
two gentlemen and a Lady for q COM
munication which they saw fit to make
two weeks ago in regard to certain
matter which does not in the least
concern the public. The action for
which they had previously been called
to account, concerned only themselves.
They were in no wise acting in u rep
resentative capacity. There is wide
difference in this matter of personal
publications, between a man who is
acting for the public, or seeking to do
so, and a man who is simply acting for
himself. In the one case his actions,
and to some extent his character, are
public property. In the other they are
not, and it is none of the business of
the public what he does so long as he
does not tresspass on the rights of 9TH
ers, in which case even there is better
way OF redress than in newspaper
print.
Taking our full share of blame for
too much of this sort of thing, we shall
seek to prevent it as much as possible,
and trust Our friend will attribute to
us honest motives when we think his
communication had better not be pub
lished.

memory of the departed, which we ever
read. appeared in last weeks EAPoRIA
NEWS, from the pen of Hon. Jacob Stot-
Ter. The object of this affectionate men,
DIR, was the son of MIR. Stotler, and who
died IN Emporia the week previous of
scarlet fever. MIR. Stotler has thrown the
pent up sorrow of an over burdened heart
into his melancholy tribute, and il is =
hard heart indeed, that can read that coll

Of sympathy for the bereaved father.
Charley was his parents pride, and he
was blended with every plan or hope in
the future, and to have him torn from
them so young, lacerated their hearts to a
depth which can only be felt by parent.
We feel an ineXpressable sympathy for
Brother Stotler, in this his hour of grief,
and offer what consolation we can in our

depth of his suffering. Philosophy says,
