ing of use. A man may have his brain
stuffed with Greek and Latin without being able to fill his stomach
with anything of importance. Still, I am in favor of the highest
education. I would like to see splendid schools in every State,
and then a university, and all scholars passing a certain examination
sent to the State university free, and then a United States
university, the best in the world, and all graduates of the State
universities passing a certain examination sent to the United States
university free. We ought to have in this country the best library,
the best university, the best school of design in the world; and
so I say, more money for the mind.

before the police and testified against her, taking one of his
disciples with him, I do not think he would have added to his
reputation.

lovely May day filled his heart with gladness. After breakfast,
the man who preaches the doctrine of the Golden Rule and the Gospel
of Humanity and the while chaffs the gentlemen of the clerical
profession, was in a fine humor. He was busy with cards and callers,
but not too busy to admire the vase full of freshly-picked spring
flowers that stood on the mantel, and wrestled with clouds of cigar
smoke, to see which fragrance should dominate the atmosphere.

To a reporter of _The Commercial Gazette_, the Colonel spoke freely
and interestingly upon a variety of subjects, from personal magnetism
in politics to mob rule in Tennessee. He had been interested in
Colonel Weir's statement about the lack of gas in Exposition Hall,
at the 1876 convention, and when asked if he believed there was
any truth in the stories that the gas supply had been manipulated
