Thk ?DVBUTI8BR cannot better
express its appreciation of the fol
lowing able and dignified editorial
from the Herald than by giving it
all the further circulation in its
power:
The 11.is KC11 Invitation, i t. .
Professor McKirov's philippic regard
ing Col. A. C. Haskell's invitation to de
liver the annual address before the stu
dents of the Lau.ens Male Academy, in
June next, will be found in another col
umn. While we have thought and still
think it was not in good taste and a mis
take to invite-Col. Ilaskell here, we did
not regard it of sufficient importance, one
way or another, to say anything about
the matter in these columns, save the
bare mention of the fact that he would
deliver the annual address. The 1Ikrai.i>
was as much opposed to Haskell's Inde
pendentism, and it fought him as hard, as
any other newspaper in the State; In
deed, It was charged that the Herald
was too severe in its criticisms regarding
him. We did not think so then, nor do
we think so now. We were criticising
his political course, which we regarded
not only undemocratic and highly repre
hensible, but worse, if possible, than Rad
icalism itself; and we are of the same
opinion still, and have neither explana
tion nor apology to offer for any utter
ance then made regarding his alienation
and disloyalty to the Democracy. But
while we thus feel towards Col. Ilaskell
politically, we do not regard his invita
tion to deliver an address here a personal
insult to us. We are not, however, the
guardian or keeper of other people's feel
ings and preferences, and accord to them
free and full exercise of their opinions in
this matter. And in this connection we
will further say that, in our view, if Prof.
Evans saw proper to invite Col. Ilaskell
to deliver the annual address before his
students he had a perfect right to do so,
if actuated in the interest of his school,
regardless of the preferences of his pat
rons ; and any patron had an equal right
to withdraw his patronage if he felt
aggrieved at the Professor's action in thus
inviting a man to address his children to
whom he Objected, on political or any
other grounds. The expediency of such
action in cither case Is another matter.
As to the matter of the apparent boy
cotting of the HERALD by the Teachers'
Association in adopting a resolution of
thanks to the editor of another newspa
per, (our neighbor,) to. which Professor
McElroy refers, we will say, that while
fully appreciating Iiis kind expressions
towards this newspapers, we did not re
gard said action as an intentional slight
to us, although it may have had that ap
pearance to others and been so interpre
ted. The Hkrai.d is so conscious of hav
ing always labored In the educational in
terests of town and County, that it is not
hasty to jump at conclusions. Our young
friend who was designated in the resolu
tion in question doubtless deserved all
that was said of him, and more.
Regarding the matter of inviting Ilas
kell here to address the students of the
Male School, as the question has been
revived, ? which we think is untimely
and unfortunate?we will say in conclu
sion that while we still regard it a mis
take on the part of Prof. Evans, we are
not disposed to think that he intended it
as an insult to any one. Because, if so
intended, the insult would be to Ilaskell
rather than to the people of this com
munity and County, In proposing thus
to use him for such an offensive purpose ;
and we give Prof. Evans credit for hav
ing too high a sense of propriety and dis
crimination to descend to such a device. It
was, we think, only a mistake on ins part.

"I Am So Tired"
Is a common exclamation at this
season. There is a certain bracing
effect in cold air which Is lost when
the weather glows warmer; and
when Nature is renewing her
youth, her admirers feel dull, slug
gish and tired. This condition is
owing mainly to the impure con
dition of tin; blood, and its failure
to supply healthy tissue to the va
rious organs of the body. It is re
markable how susceptible the sys
tem is to the help to be derived
from a good medicine at this sea
son. Possessing just these purify
ing, building up qualities which
the body craves, Hood's Snrsapa
rilla soon overcomes that tired
feeling, restores the appetite, pur
ifies the blood, and, in short, im
parts vigorous health. Its thous
ands of friends as with one voico
declaro "It Makes the Weak
Strong."
"Life has been a burden to me
for the past 50 years on account of

to all I can reach." ?George P.

Sarsaparilla the elerk tried to Induce me buy
their own Instead ol Hood's; ho told me thelr's
would last longer; that I might toko it on ten
days* trial; that it I did not llko it I need not
pay anything, etc. But ho could not prevail
on me to change. I told him I knew what
Hood's Sarsaparilla was. I had taken it, was
satisfied with It, and did not want any other.

When I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla
I was feeling real mlserablo, suffering
m great doal with dyspepsia, and so weak
that at times I could hardly stand. I looked,
and had for some time, like a person in con
sumption. Hood's Sarsaparilla did me so
much good that I wonder at myself sometimes,
