One need not be wite, nor scholarly -nor
genteel to he a critic. It is said that
there are many, very pronounced critics
in our institutions lor Ihe insane. Think
then of a man dcclating himBelf Buch a
one, Bell-choBen, telf-eelected, and most
of all, Bell-Bustained. We have thiB
very character in our midst. lie drinks
our good sodawater, breathes our pure
air, sits on our hotel porch, looks honest
people in the face as much as he can
stand, and then by way of recreation, he
aends sundry "Outings'' lo the Albany
Herald. Like Jeblmrnn, he waxe-i fat
and kicks. He eatB cur delicious fruits,
attends our public meetings aud then
sends hia impressions to the paper. It
iB theee impressions, which have so im.
preaeed the good people of Sodaville a
times. We want lo notice some of the
very remaikable features ol "Outing No.
2," published in Ihe Albany Herald, o1
July 12, in which; we fiud such a co-
mingling of parts, Borne to be wise, some
to be funny and aome to bs something
we don't know what, that we must
persue thiB very striking epistle in
detail. For fear that some who have
never aeon any ol us, we Sodavillians, I
will enter an explanation. Now I am
glud to amure you that we do not have
barne, ite live in houses and read the
weekly almanac when we can borrow il,
We have clothes whichv.e wear, and
generally wnla on Ihe sidewalk, although
aome prefer the middle of the road, but
that's amaltsr of choic?, Sodaville peo
ple, uB !ar as I can Bee, are .not to be
aneezod at' I venture they ate as good
in most things as other folkB. We have
men of more that one language, men of
letters, men of travel, men uf learning,
man ol means from all parts of the Unit
ed Statea and from Albany. Our wo
men are aa pure, aB elevated, aa beauli
ful, as refined as any women the writer
of Outing No. 2, did not marry. I, my
self have been in Portland, just think ;o
it! aud didn't get "run in" or "run
over'' cither. ISut let us proceed and
carefullv analyze Ouling No. 2 and Bee if
we can put our fingeisin any soft places.
In the first place he re'ers to himself
fifteen times in so short an article. This
shows bad-breeding, for books of eti
quette tell us to apeak nf onrselvea a
little as possible. Aud I find by care
fully perusing this article, that the Pro
foHSor haa forgotten, if he ever Knew
the cardinal lawa of rhetoric, namely,
to uae no n ore words than iB absolutely
necessary to make the thought clear, but
I suppose whetc theie isn't any thought,
words are admissable. Attain, he thowe
bad breeding by criiioising others
Sherwood tells us in standard etiquette
that true manners are based on Uhris
tianity, and I atsure you ChrUtiatiiiy
doeB not seek to find fault but to help. 1
Yes, it shows had breeding for the Pro
tensor to come and make light of us; every
lady and gentleman will agree with me
in this. Again, if we like the conies are
so far behiud Ihe times, I uiprvel that
Buch a man aa the Professor wi.uld come
here and lower himself to be worried
overourwaya. Yes, the professors' ar
ticle Bhows hia rare lack of breeding as
well as bis lack of knowledge of rhetoric.
Outing No. 2 is unscriptural for it has a
tendency to tear down others that its au
thor may get an article into the paper.
Surely, "a book's a book although there
iB nothing in it." I should judge by thiB
article that the Professor is an old bach
elor against his will. What a way for an
old man to spend his time, writing up
the shortcomings ot othere. I find he
strives to bo funny in his article. You
kuow if a man is Itiitny, really funny, he
don't need to try lo be to. Trying to do
a thing and doing it are two dttTerent
things. Aa it is, we have all read Hi 1
Nye, and Htudolte, and JobIi Hillings
ami .losinh Allen's Wife, ami Peck, and
others t.) much to be found bursting any
blood vessels over the Professor's effort
but I wouldn't discourage him. It is
funny to see aome men try.
Now let us notice the wording, for tl.B'
8 all there is to this article.
I'lcS'. he tells us that he retires early.
Of course we aie all very glad to herr
this, those of ui who own thins here
but I would call attention to the ditfer
ance between him and Abe Lincoln on
this point in the luht of advauciuient.
In speaking of "Habbety boys," I ven
ture t..o Professor was there once judging
by his hair. In the first part of his arti
cle ho declares he could not 'oil "for
suro'' whether it was an organ or not,
and was not sure that ladies ware singing.
Now, I venture to ask what right it man
lias, because a cti'ic who cannot tell when
ho hears an organ played, or a woman
singing? And nga'u, voices aud organs
don't go by "Blaps" and "mavis" and
'jerks." What wording for a professor!
I cannot understand wnv ho mould be
bo easy disturbed at night. Again the
Professor'a cllbrt to rqueeze out com
plaint over this meritorious practice
rend rs him "inconsistent with himself
because he declarea farther down that all
done well. Iu regard to consulting
Jupiter Phi vi us I will say that we do ro
rejard false gods in regard to rain al -though
we do bave a God who realy
sends it. You notice tbe Professor does
not state in what way Jupi'sr prevented
us from going to the grove, wbetktr be
sent cloude or wind or rain, or wbetner
be cleared the w eather, or what he dune.
Remember Japitor Pluvioe, is also Jopi-
lanaus; Jupitor Fulminator asd
Jup'ior Serenalor. He eaya the "Per-
ormers'' pleased the audience, and be
waa in the audience, then wby should be
complain about tbe practice for si-ccces?!
Then he takea up my caae, I waa the ora
or of the day. Herefereto my patriot
ism and says I was "quite Patriotic."
I hope that is not a fault to be ramaiked
upon. I oasure jou those are the things
the Professor finds in ua to criticise,
wiah to rorrtct the Itrofeseor when be
eays I claimed for i.merica. the giandeat
Poets. I put our poets second to the
Koglish Pools. In regard to J. C.
Oolhoun I see the covered thrust in the
use of that usual as applied to my ideaB
of Eta'tesmen. Now 1 must admit, as
Daniel Webater admitted, that J. 0.
(JoIuoyiii was a groat Btaleaman. I don't
think even the Professor hinstlf would
like to nisei him on the platform. Of
course hn had bis faults. was not
dealing in them in my oration. I am
not surprised that the Professor did not
like it for that reason. I did apeak high
ly of .the man who could make even
Webster tremble for his views, but in
regard to his mistaken judgment which
called down npon him the work of
Washington, I must admit he came short
but he waB a statesman. Yes, there have
been many statesmen since. Garfield,
Cleveland, Harriecn, Coxey and McKin
ley, of Hanna, Ohio. The Professor
criticises me for not paroding any poli
tics in my oration, and for that reason I
was, "in anampa up a atump."Now good
breeding told me that it was not a time
to stir up party rile .', Our country has
enough of that, bo I Bpoke in a strain
that would make all party men tree at
band. I have my political views, how
ever, as the people well know, If the
old .rofesBBor don't know them, I
ihem along with tbe other things be
doesn't know. I made no eflort to con
ceal my politics, for the people sat and
heard me tell. them for soma two hours
one night.
ItiBchi'dB play for me lo reply at
length to his position on one of our latest
wars. Kverybody knows the Spanish
war ie over. McKinley haa received tbe
Spanish Minister, but the war in the Ie
lar.ds goes on. I do btlievr the war
with Spain was favored of Gcd. Tl e vic
tory of Dewey wrs marvelous and un
equaled in the history ol naval warfare
but the war with Spain waa very differ
ent from tho Philippine war. They are
two different warB altogether. I eee do
reason why God could not be with Dew
ey, and yet cot be with Otis . Oh I how
hard the Pro'leseor tries to make out a
csBe, I suppose tnis man tells bis pu
pilB that they ebculd use their education
to become great and- goo6T mou and
women and then he Bhows bow great it
has made him, by coming up to tb.s
poor little town and Bending back to his
friends Buch learned dispatches aa "Out
ing No, 2." I ask tbe profit in such a
course by a man who's hair is white from
age. Is this tbe way of righteousness
wherein God has promised to crown Ibe
grav hairs with glory? JuBt Ibiuk of a
man of learning aud age, coming to tbe
level of eucb an ambition. I cannot
understand it. What baa tbe people
done lo this man that he Bhould devote
his old age to coming here and publish'
ing self created harangues about us? Is
this the fruit of bia life? I understand
the challenge in the last line of his arti
cle, but I nave something else to do,
Bhall nut seek a quarrel with tbia man
through thepapers. I bave written this
reply feeling that u odo man is tt.e only

"Example is Better
Than Precept'
It is not what we say, but
what Hood's Sarsaparilla
does, that tells the story.
Thousands of testimonials are
examples of what Hood's
has done for others, and
what it will do for you.
Scrofula " Running scrofula sores
made me shunned by neighbors. Medical
treatment failed. A relative urged me to
try Hood's Sarsaparilla. Did so and in few
months the sores completely healed." Mas.
J. M. Hatch, Ktna, N. H.
Inflammatory Rheumatism-" Two
attneksol ttie grip left me with Inflamma
tory rheumatism. Am 89 years old, but
Hood's Sarsaparilla cured me and I can
climb stairs and walk anywhere." J. Lovi
land, 373 Cargo Ave., Buffalo, N. Y.
Tee apparatus which conducts the blooi
to the different parts of the body may be
usenea to a river and its tributaries, tn9
big arteries correspond to tho river, and
the small ones to its trioutaries.
What is the effect on the river if the
water in one of the tributaries which flows
into it is impure 'i
Tha answer is simple. The whole river
will of course become impure. The same
implies to the b'ood contained in tbe small
arteries if it ia in a h d state, and un'ees
thiu impurity is cheeked by some specific
means, the whole ol tbe blood is rendered
impure. The effects on the system gen
erally are disastous. The diseases arising
from this condition are legion.
How is it to be remedied ?
As aP these diseases arise in Pie first
place from the impurity of tne blood, if
you wish to be cured you must seek for
something that will purity the blood.
should you asa your frienu what is the
best blood purifier, tney will in ail prob
ability reply Hood's SarsnparUla, or you
can read tbe s'atements of people, who, al
though perhaps uunnowL to you, are nev
ertheless true friends, since they allow
tnoir letters to be publishtd snuply to show
their gratitude for what Hood's Sarsapa
rilla has done for them, and in ord-r that
others may bebenefi ted as they have been.
Whenever suffering from auy complaint
which you can (race to ihe impure s'ate of
the blvod, be sur.- to take Hold's Sarsaparilla.
WATCH for the late-t designs in Wa
Paper. We have them. Every patter
bright and new, in eluding prices.
