ARISTOS'RACY. A
Dispatch, Columbus, Miss.


There was meeting held for an odd
purpose in Baltimore not long since,
viz: to determine who are the aristo-
Gratis of America. The few discrlmi-
mating judges composing the commit
tee, no doubt settled the matter salts
factorily to themselves. One of the
requirements named as requisite in
claiming aristocratic blood, was the
necessity to prove some relative to have
been among the number of signers to
3e Declaration OF Independence. Now
this, according to our idea, is too liber-
al scope, for we have never yet met
an American who could not boast of
having a great, great grandfather
among that illustrious few indeed, We
believe the Baltimore assemblage
wasted a mornings work, without
arriving any nearer the true answer to
the question, who are the aristocrats of
America In good old ante bellum
DAYS, we would have named the veal

nifcence, sumptuous hospitality, OPEN
handed liberality and courtly gallantry
could be said to make up the tout CT
sen,ble of aristocracy but the war has
changed all that. and in the rush and
hurry of our "work day" life, we
have grown so intensely republican,
that even the word "Aristocracy" has

ing one of the old fashioned. faded
silks packed away in the garret, that
our grandmothers used to wear.
With us it is now as Tennyson has
expressed it,
Kind hearts are more than coronets,
And simple faith than Norman blood.
independent manliness which ena-

sobriety, form the characteristics by
which we now judge the gentleman.
OF course we will always have with us
people who will never cease to harp on

Iowa Girls at Auction.

Up at Clear Lake, that center Of
summer pleasure parties and Sabbath
school associations in Iowa, the
churches became tired Of old 'stere-
otyped plans, of raising money, and
new scheme was evolved from the
inner consciousness Of some bright
genius. The treasury Of the Con-
gregational Church became rather
bare, and so the young folks got to-
gether and determined to I'LL It even
to overflow. After long discussion
it was decided Ito bring about the,
desired end by putting all the girls
of the church up at auction. The
time came around, and every young
man in or near Clear Lake who had
any money. or could possibly borrow
any, was promptly on hand, eager to
bid to the fullest extent, But there
were some Of the girls on whom it
would have been impossible to OBJ
tain the bid of an old copper cent,
while there were others for whom the
lovesick swains would willingly have
bid their last dollar, and in the spirit
of Artemus Ward, the last dollar of
any of their relatives. So rs to give
all of tho boys an equal chance the
girls were wrapped up in sheets, SO
rs to be completely unacceptable.
Each young man was positive that
beneath the snowy folds of the sheet
he could discern the outline of the
girl on whom he dotted, and when
from fifteen to twenty of the young
fellows singled ,Tout one particular
sheetcd object on which to stake
their fortunes, excitement ran high,
and money ran out of pocketbooks

After all the fair ones had been

chased for n mere song, owing to a

money from unwilling pocketbooks,

DR. ]. II. ScHESCK, Phila., Pa:
Dear Sir-I write this to let you know that my
little daughter Henrietta, whom you saw on your
visit to this city in the fall of 1879, has entirely
covered her health by the use OF your Medicines.
! wish also at the same time 10 give you some facts
IL regard 10 her case which did not have time 10
do when you were here. My daughter was con-
sidered healthy child until the month Of Novem.
ber 1873, when she was attacked with Remittant
Fever, with which she was sick for long time.
As she was recovering from II she took heavy
cold, which settled on her lungs, producing a con-
slant hacking cough. As several Of her mothers
relatives had died Of Consumption, we were much
troubled IN regard to her case, especially as our
physician told US that her lungs were weak, and af
ter her cough had continued some time that they
were seriously affected. He prescribed many
things for her, principally cod liver oil and smu-
lants but she kept getting worse and worse, until
at last he told us that there was no hope for her re-
covery; and 10 satisfy us that he had done all that
il was possible for him TO do, called In two other
doctors. They, after consultation, agreed that she
must die, and that all VIC could do was TO make her
comfortable while she lived. This was in the
month Of September, 1870. Although we were as
sured by our physician that our little daughter could
not get well, yet we were always looking over the
papers 10 try and find thing that would at least
preserve her life for a time. One evening read IN
tUt ALBANY EVtNlNJ LINKS tnt hldltUltUlh 81 many
who had been cured Of serious lung diseases by
your Medicines and feeling that they at least could
do her no harm, concluded to give them trial.
] therefore went to the drug store OF Mr. Miller
gentleman with whom was well acquainted, and
asked him what he knew or thought Of your Medi-
Cnes.. He said al have heard them highly
spoken OF by my customers, and believe them to be
good" ! then bought a bottle OF the Pulmonic
Syrup, as well as some Of the Mandrake Pills and
Seaweed Tonic, and my daughter commenced 20 use
them according 10 the printed drectors We all
soon saw that they were doing her good. When
she had taken them about two weeks we noticed by
the paper that you were TO visit Albany profession
ally, and, taking advantage OF this opportunity, we
had you see her. Although you did not see her at
the worst, you OF course remember her apparently
hopeless condition We Can only say that from inc
Medicines you gave her she soon rapidly improved
| and became healthy and strong We give you thls
certificate or letter that others may know oil your
great Medicines. am satisfied that you saved The
life OF my child, as she was pronounced beyond med
ical aid BY three Of The best physicians oil thS CITY,
