UPPER SCHOOLS.
The Rev. James McCosh, President of
Princeton College, N- J-, in a recent pub
lication, advocates the establishment
throughout the United States of a system
of public schools to be called “Upper
Schools.” These are to supplement the
present primary, or “public schools,” and
are to advance to higher attainments the
pupils of the primary schools who dis
play the greatest aptitude for learning.
On account of the 'great monetary
scarcity common in the South, President
McCosh suggests that our Southern
people should receive in aid of such “Up
per Schools'’ some proceeds of unappro
priated lands belonging to the General
Government. We should be delighted
to see this act of kindness, not to say
justice, done by the Federal authorities.
The founding of “agricultural and me
chanical colleges” by aid of proceeds of
portions of these public lands will not
be able to reach a very large number of
the youths of the land; and wherever
(as in Georgia, Tennessee, and some other
States) these agricultural colleges are tied
to old-established literary colleges, they
are nullified as to good results from ob
vious reasons which we do not pause now
to explain. Facts show for themselves,
and prove that such is the result Let
us have, then, for our brightest primary
school pupils, Higher iSchools founded
by national munificence. The States will
support and foster Primary Schools.—
We call the attention of our Representa
tive in Congress to this matter, and in
voke his efforts in this direction.

ENGLISH DICTIONARIES.
Wo have heretofore spoken of the value
of the great Pictorial Webster Dictiona
ry as surpassing that of all others, and as
commanding in fact an immense sale in
Or. <t Britain a*d her world-wide co'.o-
ies. 'Our readers, and the users of this
incomparable Dictionary, will remember
that Dr. Noah Porter, President of Tale
College, was the editor of this new and
fi edition of Webster’s Dictionary in
I. We have before us, in the Eclec-
ir Review (published by E. R. Peltm,
08 Fulton Street, N. Y.) for October
874, a fine steel engraving giving us
tin- features of this eminent scholar and
author, and also, a brief biograph cal
sketch of*him. Ho was bom in Decem
ber 1811, aud is consequently almost G3
years of age. He was elected President
of Yale Qpllege in 1871.
In this article on President Porter, and
the others which make up the October
number of the Eclectic Review before us,
we find continuing proofs of tho excel
lence of that best of the American period
icals: also in tho articles entitled “ Victor
Jingo's Romances." “ The Grouping of
Plants," “ Star- Gauging“Modern
Sorcery," and many others. The absorb*
ing stoiy “Far from the Madding Crowd”
continues with increasing interest, and
approaches a culmination of the beautiful
heroine’s fato in one way or another.

White Cliff Springs )
Monroe Co., Tenn., Sept 13, 1874. )
Dear Union & Recorder :—Wc are now
camping at the White Cliff Springs in
the most primitive style, and are enjoy
ing it hugely—gaining every day in health
and strength. We keep horses on the
mountain, and forage in the valley below,
or climb the neighboring heights, as com
fort or fancy directs. I told you of the
general beauties of White Cliff Springs,
when I was here in the summer. I will
now try to describe some of Nature’s
handiwork in the vicinity. A few days
since a party visited Bullet Falls, some
five miles south of the Springs on the
brow of Star Mountain. Bullet creek
rises in a marshy little basin near West
Peak, the highest point on the mountain,
and tumbles off its rugged sides a depth
of 1000 feet, in a succession of rapids
and cascades. The highest direct fell is
30 feet, the water leaping off an over
hanging rock and scattering itself in a
shower of silvery spray which forbids a
near approach and improvises a splendid
display of rainbows of all sizes. On
either hand rugged cliffs arise which are
gay with many varieties of mosses and
ferns. Above this fall is The Devils El
bow. A block of granite 100 feet in
height seems to have been smoothly
split off the main body of rock, and left
standing some 10 or 12 feet, from it,
leaving a dark passway between. At in
tervals all along the summit of the moun
tain are cliffs now smooth and regular,
now bearing fantastic resemblances to
houses, castles, broken arches, Ac., some
times barren of vegetation, again almost
obscured by a luxuriant growth of vines
and moss. The scarlet berries of the
Mountain Coral is everywhere abundant
The view from West Peak is magnificent,
embracing all of lower East Tennessee,
and the mountains of upper Georgia.
We also visited Shadden’s Caves. They
are situated on a rocky ridge near Cones
sauga creek, some three miles from the
Springs. We had no guide, and so could
not make a thorough exploration. The
entrance to the largest cave is high and
wide, and for some distance is merely a
wide passway; then it grows wider and
at length opens into' spacious chambers.
The roof and sides are covered with beau
tiful sparkling stalactites, white as snow.
Where they have not been smoked by
pine torches (as they are in some places)
instead of bearing the usual long, point
ed form they had the appearance of moss,
grey, purple, yellow, green and white.
After penetrating some 300 yards, we
found that several passages led out in
different directions and we were afraid
to venture further on account of the dan
ger of getting lost. This cave lias been
explored miles. Our torches were
not good, so we had to be contented with
only a partial glimpse of the many won
derful and beautiful arches and niches
wo passed. The floor is very uneven,
and almost covered with - 1 .lagnites of
all sizes and forms. Some were like flu
ted columns, others like turreted towers,
then again one might imagine them mar
ble statues. In many places the water
was trickling from fantastic little foun
tains. The other cave is one half mile
from the first one we entered, and is sim
ilar, except that it has a brook, which
winds about in little dark recesses and
crosses the path several times. When
we set out to the caves, we expected to
have found a guide in the vicinity, but
were disappointed, as the person that pro
fesses to be acquainted with their wind
ings and usually acts as guide was from
home.
This morning the view from the Springs
was magnificent. A light shower had
fallen during the night, and at sunrise,
though we were under a clear sky, the
valley was quite obscured by fog, only
the tops of the highest monntains ap
pearing above *the clouds, like islands
from the billowy deep. It is delightfully
cool, and the atmosphere is so light and
pure active exercise docs not weary one
as it does at home.
We killed a rattlesnake near our camp
yesterday—the first I have seen since I
came hither. They are not very numer-'
ons here. There was a large crowd here
this summer from every part of the
South, and all seemed to be delighted.
Will not you and Mrs. M. come to help
on our enjoyment at White Cliff next
summer?
Yours, &c.,
Annie E. Law.
The Happy Man.—I noticed a mechanic,
among a number of others, at work in a
house erected but a little way from my
office, who always appeared to be in a
merry humor, who had always a kind
word and a cheerful smile for every one
he met. Let the day be ever so cold,
gloomy, or sunless, a happy smile danc
ed a sunbeam upon his countenance.
Meeting him one morning, I asked him
to tell me the secret of his constant hap
py flow of spirits. “No secret, doctor,”
he replied. ‘T have got one of the best
of wives, and when I go to work she has
always a word of encouragement for me;
when I go home she always meets me
with a tender kiss; and she is sure to be
ready with my meals; and she has done
so many things through the day to
please me, so that I cannot find it in my
heart to speak unkindly to anybody.”
What influence, then, hath woman over
the heart of man, to soften it, and to
make it the fountain of cheerful and pure
emotions! Speak gently, then; a happy
smile and a kind word of greeting after
the toils of the day arc over, cost noth
ing, and go far toward making a home
happy and peaceful.—Dr. Eranklin.

NEW PROBABILITIES.

o’clock in the morning and know his wife
is waiting for him it is likely to be

When a man receives a bill for goods

him look out for thunder and light

When a man goes home and finds no
supper ready, the fire gone out, and his
wife visiting the saloons “with the rest

When a man promises to take his wife
to a party and changes his miuB after
she is dressed, you may expect a show

When a man saves his cigar money to
buy his wife a new bonnet, and the child

BAD
“ A corrupt tree,” Baith the Inspired Volume,
“bringeth forth not good fruit,” nor can corrupt blood
impart health, beauty and good flesh, or spirit*. “The
Blood is the Life,” aud health can only be enjoyed in
iU fall perfection where the blood is kept inn pare and
■ncorrupted state, hence the necessity of pore blood,
to give health, beauty, buoyant spirits, long life and
"happiness.
AN IMPURE CONDITION OF THE BLOOD
manifests itself in different forms of diseases, such as
Tetter, Salt Rhetun,8eald-head,Ring-worms, Pimples,
Blotches, Spots, Eruptions, Pustules, Boils, Cr~ L —

In this condition of things something is needed at
once to cleanse the blood, and neutralise the insidious
poifton that
BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE
ns it oonrses through tbe veins, sowing seeds of death
witli every pulsation. .
Dr. Pemberton’s Compound Extract of Sullingia
{or Queen's Delight) will poeitively effect this desid
eratum, expelling every trace of disease from the
blood and system, and leaving the skin
SOFT, FAIR AND BEAUTIFUL.
For all diseases of the blood, liver and kidneys, this
Great Vegetable Alterative is without a rival- It will
cure any Chronic or Long Standing Disease whose real
or direct onnoe is BAD BLOOD. Rheumatism, Pains
in Limbs or Bones, Constitution broken down by Mer
enrial or other poisons, are cared by it. For Syphillis
or Syphilitic Taint there is nothing equal to it. A trial
will prove it. It is a most nsefnl Spring and Fall Pu
rifier of the Blood.
Its safety and innocence have been folly teetod, so
that it may be administered to the most tender infant.
Beware of counterfeits and substitutes. Try
