"a Born and Bred Aristocrat.

The University of Wisconsin,
like several other prominent in
stitutions, has been having a
season of affection. It appears
that two distinct allegations
gained currency and were deemed
sufficiently grave to call for an
Investigation. The ''board of
visitors" accordingly convened
and proceeded to investigate
The first complaint was that it
cost too much to get an education
in the State University. To this
the board lent an attentive ear,
and, after some elaboration. de-
cided to recommend the abolition
of tuition fees. This decision
seems entirely proper. The
University is a part of the States
educational system. No tuition
fee is charged in any of the lower
schools. Boys and girls are
fitted for admission to the Uni
versity course in the free high
schools. If it be advisable to
give free instruction in the rudi~
ments of Latin and Greek and in
the higher mathematics the
same rule should apply to the
continuance of instruction in
such branches in the finishing off
establishment.
But the second charge took on
a denser gravity. 1t was to the
effect that the President of the
University, Charles K. Adams,
was a ''deep-dyed," ''born and
bred aristocrat." We have not
seen any of the specifications
that were fled in support of this
charge, but it is stated that they
were numerous. The Board pas
tiently investigated all of them,
but declined to convict. Instead
of being born an aristocrat, the
Board found that he was born to
toll on a farm, and that he earned
by honest toll the money res
quired for his education. The
board found nothing in the Off
Cial or personal acts or appear
ance of the President to warrant
the charge of aristocracy. But
this finding is not conclusive.
The whole matter goes to the
Legislature for final action. Who
can tell what that body will do
with a man suspected of arisJo-
cratic birth f?

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have re-
Gently perfected an ingenious cure for
dyspepsia. Their Digestive Cordial
consists of a food already digested and
a lgester OF foods happily combined.
The Importance of this invention
will be appreciated when we realize
what a proportion of the community
are victims of some form of stomach
trouble Thousands of pale, thin peo-
pie have little inclination to sat-. and
what they do eat causes them pain and
distress.
This Digestive Cordial of the Shakers
corrects any stomach arrangement at
once. It makes thin people plump.
Everyone will be greatly interested to
read the little book which has been
placed in the hands of druggists for
free distribution.

Oil made a palatable as honey. Chi

Sweet Potato Whiskey.
Augusta Chronicle.

Augusta Chronicle.
J. W. Grow has a small bottle
of sweet potato whiskey that is
a very interesting commodity in
this section of the country and
not d familiar one to the world
at large.
The liquid is crude and white,
as all new whiskey is, but is the
genuine old stuff and not a coun-
terfeit.
Among the homeseekers who
have been to this section lately
was Mr.. Hansburg, a German,
who is skilled in the distillation
of Whistles. When he saw how
abundantly sweet potatoes were
raised here it occurred to him that
he could distill whiskey from
them. Several bushels of sweet
potatoes were shipped to him
and soon Mike Brown received a
half gallon of sweet potato
whiskey.
AS a result of the success of
the scheme arrangements are be-
ing made to distill the liquor for
commercial purposes.

A SONG OF THE FIELDS.

The reapers-they are singing in the
fields Of golden grain,
And a merry song is ringing DER the
mountain and the plain;
And it's hoi for love and living, since
no blessing He denied,
And the sweetest songs thanksgiving
from the glad earth to the skies!
The reapers-they are Singing for the
harvest smiles TO God,
Where His heavenly benediction gave
the color to the elod;
There is gladness in the morning, there
is gladness in the night;
For the Germ is hanging heavy and
the cotton fields are white.
The reapers-they are singing; for the
summer days are past,
And toll is crowned with plenty, and
sweet reward at last;
And its hol for love and living, for
no blessing He denies;
And songs of sweet Thanksgiving GO
in music to the slxiesl

4 PREACHER ON BRYAN.
eHe is Bound to Make Friends anC
Converts Wherever he Goes.

THE attempt by the New York press
to belittle Mr. BryanSs speeches has
had the effect of mako thoughtful
men ro to hear him to make their own
estimate.
Rev. III. G. Pillsbury, pastor of the
Second Congregational church at
Chieopee Falls, writes TO the Spring
field (Mass.) Republican
I had the pleasure of listening to
Mr.. Bryan recently at Hornellsyllle,
N. Y, and as do not expect to vote for
him and may therefore be considered
free from prejudice in his favor, a
word concerning my personal impress
sions NAV not be embarrassing. My
strongest impression was that of his
absolute sincerity. He evidently be-
lieves Ni6h all his soul that this is a
struggle between the masses and their
oppressors. His denun0iation of the
monopolists who, as he claimed, prey
upon the people, was, i'm its delivery
and it's effect, the most powerful piece
OF inpective it has ever been my fortune
to hear While he did not seem to me
to have a philosophical mind, hardly
a severely logical one, yet from his
premises he reaches conclusions with
a directness that the people enjoy.
confess to an admiration for his per.
sonality as it was brought before me
during that hour. He seemed to me to
be a great brain and a great soul in a
splendid body; a superb specimen oil
manhood. When he was aroused the
most thoroughly l thought him as
listened the most nearly perfect orator
/ ever heard. And yet his manner was
in the main, of that judicial, temperate
kind that wins confidence. 1T is GER
tainly wise for his party managers to
keep him ON the stump; he is bound to
make friends, if not converts, wherever
he goes"
