To the Editor Of the st. Crojr A0is."

Dear Sir,
1t was with much pleasure ] read in the
columns of your last issue Of the establish.
ment here by Mr.. j. Fl. Il. Briscoe of a
musical institution bearing the name of
the celebrated artist who recently visited our
shores.
This l believe had been a long projected
scheme of the abovenamed gentleman. whom
l also believe is capable Of conducting the
work he has undertaken; and now that he
has made the effort | trust he will be warmly
supported, especially by those of our own
clan, so that the institution, now in it's
Infancy, may hereafter be the means of prov.
ing to the world at large, that St. Croix also
can produce sons and daughters Of ability.
In conclusion, [ beg to offer Mr.. Briscoe
my best wishes for success, and I hope that
should the ChevaIier do Salas ever again give
US the pleasure Of listening TO him it might
be when assisted by graduates If the i~nstitu-
ton bearing his name.
Thanking you, MIR. Editor, for space allow
ed, | remain, dear Sir,
Yours respectfully
A LOVER OF MUSIC.

To the Editor of tile st. Croin Avis.

10 the Edlt0F OF tile st. (rOIr AUiS.
Dear Sir.
Permit US through your valuable
columns to voice the sentiments of some
who, having confidence in our ability SO to
do, requested us to state some facts. plain
and ncontrovertibI shedding needed light
on some mooted questions, recently r,ised by
one of your Jealous, but apparently misin-
formed correspondents.
Before proceeding further, we beg to
premise that our purpose is not to find
fault, nor to indulge in personalities, nor
eplthets, nor abuse, nor any other of the Uile
weapons used by unprincipIed correspon-
dents, when they get the worst of an argu-
ment.
Further. as the article to which we refer
is somewhat lengthy, we will not deal with
1t exclusively nor will We tire our readers
with one long-winded epistle; rather let US
be brief, or, if need be, give our facts. argu-
ments and deductions on the installment plan.
AS we walk through the wilderness of this
world, and arrive at Vanity Fair. and find
ourselves invited TO partake of its vanities-
erroneous opinions, f~alsities, sciolisms. talia-
cies and such like-let our motto be: "Buy
the truth" Let us remember the glorious
words of Milton, "Truth. as the sunbeam, is
impossible to be soiled by any outward
touch"
In our search for truth among newspaper
correspondence it is
NECESSARY TO KNOW
that "To read proftably periodical litera-
ture requires much more discrimination than
to read a book. A knowledge of newspapers,
their methods, their purposes, their pre-
JUDGES, are to be understood before a reader
can stand above and not bsloac them.
Books deal altogether with settled one ,tions.
49,. The magazines and papers deal with
unsettled questions, and it is on the unsettled
questions that the young will be called to act.
A complete and generous education should
make the student at least familiar with men
and questions of his own time. If a Young
man is to make a tolerable success of life, he
must comprehend the forces at work in poll
tics, education and religion
Now to THE POINTS AT ISSUE! We will be-
gin by an examination of some authorities
quoted by the correspondent America" in his
letter to the st. Croir Avis No. 48.
The authorities with which we purpose to
deal are, the Spectator ria st. Croir AUis
No. IL, Charles Dickens, Queen Victoria's
letter, q. S. Salmon and Froude: and We hope
to shew that the use of these authorities do
not strengthen, but weakens the position as
sumed by America
etc tell only half the truth is as mislead.

BRYAN AT HIS OLD HOME.
Attends to Some Business and Goes
to Centralia Tonight

Salem, Ill. July 14-Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan, like the inhabitants of this
town, were weary this morning. They
rested until after 9 o'clock and going
up to eakfast they had spring chick
en- and potatoes and blackberries grown
in the yard of his sisters home.
With them at breakfast were ]. w.
Baird and his wife, Mr.. Bryan's sister
and Misses Mamie and Mamie Bryan,
two attractive looking young women
who have just finished their college
education. After breakfast Mrs. Bry-
an remained at home while Mr.. Bryan
went to the court house to attend to
some business of his mothers estate.
At dinner time Mr.. Bryan, his wife and
two unmarried sisters went to the home
of their aunt, Mrs. D. S. Marshall and
in the afternoon he drove about the
town and out to The old farm upon
which his father 2ved during the last
years of his life.
Mr.. Bryan himself is a member of the
Presbyterian church but his father was
a Baptist and according to Col. Thomas
E Merritt, who in the early days
stumped the the county with him, be
leVed there was no salvation for a. man
unless he was baptized by immersion.
But there were not enough Baptists in
the town to support a preacher reg
ularly and so it was that services were
only held in the Baptist church twice
a month and in that way it came to
pass, that VIM. J. Bryan attended
the Presbyterian services and finally
became q member of that church
It has been arranged that Mr.. Bryan
shall drive over to Centralia, Il miles
southwest of here, where a demonstra-
ton viii be given tonight. 1t was Mr..
Bryan's wish to remain quiet today but
the people of Centralia had made all
the arrangements for a display in his
