THE UNIVERSITY FUND.
ALONE IN THE CLOUDS.
A Lady’s Experience on Sunday
Night.
THE BALLOON TRIP OF MISS
LIZZIE IIILINO WISE.
An Experience of a Rather Thrilling Nature.
HOW AND WHEN IT ORIGINATED.
Prom the Clayton Courier.]
The University of Alabama at Tusca
loosa, is said to be the creature of Con
gressional bounty,but, in fact, we owe its
existence to our sister State of Georgia.
For when Goorgia ceded the territories of
Alabama and Mississippi to the Federal
Government, the cession was coupled
with the express condition that the lGlb
section of every township shonld be de
voted to common schools in that town
ship, and that seventy-two sections of the
lands to be aeleoted anywhere in the State
shonld be devoted to tho establishment
andmaintainanoe of a collegiate seminary.
Thanks to our old mother, Georgia, that
Bhe secured these priceless boons to her
children, and thanks to Congress for the
faithful manner in which the terms of
the cession were complied with the “Uni
versity” lands were legally and properly
located, and sold, and the prooeeds after
ereoting suitable buildings and appliances,
were invested by the State and used by
it in one way or another so that about the
year 1845 the University fund ought to
have been about $700,000. But as the
money had disappeared mostly in the
Btate’s banking operations and other
modes never fully understood, it was
thought that the full amount of this fund
as a debt against the State would not be
just to the tax payers, and a law was
passed by the Legislature and accepted
as a finality by the friends of the Univer
sity fund at $400,000. Subsequently the
amount was fixed at $300,000, and this
amount is the “University fund” as tho
law now stands, and the interest on this
aum, $24,000, annually is expended in
furnishing facilities to the young men of
tha State for their education.
'Woolen Mill Damaged by Fire.
Obwzgo, N. Y., October 19 —The

were partially burned last night. A large
quantity of valuable machinery, wood and
finished clothes were destroyed. Loss
$100,000, Fully insured.
Miss Lizzie Ihling Wise, the lady who
made the balloon ascension from Grand
Avenue Park on Sunday evening, re
turned unhurt to the city yesterday after
noon, and wan engaged for some time in
answering the inquiries of her friends
as to incidents of the trip. Before her
arrival her unole was besieged by nnmer**
ons people all anxious to hear the fate of
Miss Wise. Prof. Wise had no informa
tion to give, and seemingly appeared in
different to the lady's welfare. He how
ever informed his confidential friends that
he was certain that no accident had hap
pened to her, as she was so oarefnl in
landing a balloon.
Miss Wise,on being interviewed bva/te-
jmblican reporter, made the following
statement concerning her trip:
Wheu the preparations for the aaaen-
sion were completed I saw that there
was no squalls of wind that would pre
vent me from having a calm atmosphere
in whioh to explode my exterior balloon,
and desoend by the parachute, and I con
cluded to make an ordinary ascension,
although the delays made it near night-
full. When my car was trimmed for the
flight, I saw black and angry looking
clouds looming up, and I was the more
impatient to go up and pass the clouds
without encountering their dangers. At
precisely 5:43 p. m , I ordered the ropes
to bo loosed and up went my balloon, the
Amazon.
When I reached an elevation of about
700 feet the balloon made a plunge and
careened so much that I thought it would
bolt to the nartb. In another moment it
righted itself and I sailed along nicely.
I soon reached a point where, dose above
me, hung
A MASS OP BLACK CLOUDS,
Rolling along in billows, and immediately
my air-ship went plunging through them.
It was as dark as pitch all around me,
and the rumbling and roaring sounds
were anything bat pleasant.
This situation was entirely new to me,
as I never encountered it in either of my
nineteen prior ascensions. In a few min
utes I emerged from this gloomy oloud •
cavern and came in sight of a oharming
scene. The earth was visible in spots,
and the moon passed in and oat of clouds
and reflocting alteruately on light and
dark ones. It had the appearance of a
stupendous “Black Crook” scene and my
mind was so absorbed by the view that I
forgot the care necessary to make a de
scent in the night. At this time the at
mosphere was cold and I had
to put on my extra clothing.
The gas in the balloon was
ooudensing and I was sailing rapidly to
ward the junction of the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers. The glimmer of the
water was the only thing that I could see
distinctly on the earth, and I found that
my balloon was likely to alight in one of
the rivers. When I got within a few
hundred feet of the water I found in;
route to be on a line with the river and
above it. I threw overboard large quan
tities of ballast, and this caused me to
ascend 2,000 feet, and the oold air slight
ly benumbed me and rapidly condensed
the gas in the balloon, making it plunge
to the earth. To save myself from falling
in the water I caused the Amazon to dart,
to come down even more quioklv, and a
moment later my basket was striking the
tall tree-tops of a woodland, and the fall
ing of the broken branches made a noise
most depressing in the darkness that sor-
rounded me. This was the most trying
moment of all my experience in feronaut-
ios. I could not see a thing distinctly on
earth, and I was not certain whether I
was over a swamp or cultivated land.
Suddenly the balloon rose up two or three
hundred feet, and again plunged down
among the trees, ootuing near the earth.
The air-ship started to rise again, but
could not, as I ascertained that it had
become turned and wedged in firmly
among the limbs. I was about thirty feet
from the ground, and my basket was rest'
ing on the top of a low tree. I called for
help, but for some time I only beard the
echoes of my own voice. I oame to the
conclnsion that I had landed in an un
settled wilderness, and would have to
rock myself to rest for the night in the
tree tops. I waited a few minutes and
heard voices a short distance from me,
and the moon oame jut from behind a
cloud at the same time, enabling me to
see a man in his shirt sleeves walking in
a road near a dwelling. I called again,
and saw that I had attracted the man’s
attention and that he was looking around
the woods for me. I again called, and he
answered.
“where are you ?”
I replied in as loud a tone as I oould
command, “Up here in the tree-top ;
help me down if you please.” He ap
peared decidedly astonished and asked,
“How shall I help you ?” I told him to
catch the rope that I threw him, and try
to pull me down a little nearer the ground.
He palled ns hard as he oould, but oould
not bring me nearer than ten feet, and
my oar turning over in the trees, nearly
bottom side np, I had to hang in the
basket with my head very nearly down
wards. I saw that the man was a power
ful one, and felt that he conld in some
way relieve me from my position. He
told me to slide head foremost down the
rope and he would catch me. I did so,
when he threw his arms up and caught
me about my shoulders and lifted me to
the ground. I did not sustain any injury
of any kind. I found that the name of
tho man who had assisted mo was Mr.
Charles Sbeva, and that I had landed it
the Columbia bottom, sixteen miles north
from where I started, and that I was with
in two miles of the Mississippi river. I
descended to the earth at 0:20 r. m., and
was thirty-seven minutes in making my
voyage. The highest altitude that
I reached, according to the reading of
my barometer, was sic thousand feet. The
temperature at this point was 59 degrees.
The temperature at the earth, when I left
it, was 08 degrees. The bbeva family
hospitably entertained me on Sunday
night and Mr. Sheva assisted me the next
morning to get my balloon
OUT OF THE TRF.ES.
He also brought me and the Amazon to
the city. I could not expross my full
gratitude to tho farmer who done so mnoh
to assist me, and hope that I may meet
his like again frequently in my future
landings. This voyage was to me an
unique aot in the drama of aeronautios,
and I would not have missed it for any
thing, though I confess to a mental chill
when my balloon showed Buch a great
partiality for hydrostatics rather than
aeronautien, when so close to the rivers.
I wif-h to make another ascension in 8t.
Louis and I have opened negotiations to
uiako my twenty-first ascension next
Sunday, when I will start early in the
day aud try the parachute style of decent
in plain view of every spectator in tho
city. . .
Last evening Miss Wise gave an inform
al reception at tho Planters’ House to her
inquiring friends and acquaintances.

Not only do the people and the press of
Georgia, eudorso Gen. Gordon and ask for
his return to tho United States Senate,
but hear the leading paper of Alabama,
the Mobile Register:
“Nor can the South forget when Gor~
don led a forlorn hope in civil life as
he had done in battle, when,
as the standard bearer of the
Georgia Democracy, he met, defeated
the enemy and was cheated out of the vie-
tory, in those days of carpet-bag usurpa
tion and outrage. No man bore himself
more proudly aud defiantly. His intrepid*
ity gave courage and enthusiasm to his
supporters. While others who would now
push him from bis seat were silent as
death, mourning over disfranchisement,
querulous over personal grievances, and
waitinglfor time to light their pathway,
there was no uncertainty in the course of
Gordon, no hesitation in his language,
and no halting in his action. He met the
enemy, panoplied in all the pride of
power, and rang out his defianoe of
wrong from every hill and valley in Geor
gia. Where, then, were many of those
who are now ambitions to sucoeed him as
Senator ? If not sympathizing and abeU
ting the enemy, they were quiet as the
grave, and ready to act only as the con
test might eventuate.”

THE "LOST ART” RECOVERED.
Galen, the most colebrated physician, nour
ished In the seoond century. His theory was
that roots and herbs, properly compounded,
are Naturo’s remedy. His cures were so mar-
vollous that he was accused of rnaglo. His
mighty skill and success silenced his enemies,
and his opinions held sway in the medioal
world for centuries, until the art of compound*
InK vogotablo remodles was gradually lost In
tho thickening gloom of the middle ages, and
poisonous mluoral mixtures took Its place.
Hut the clouds are breaking In our day, and
tho almost magical virtues of Vkuktink, joy
fully attested by thousands, stamp It as a true
Galonlcal compound, and as a blood purifier
and health restorer probably has had no equal
since tho days of Galen himself.
A Hopeless Sufferer Cured by
VECETINE.
Noank, Conn., Nov. 11,1874
H R Stbvens, Esq :
Dear Sir—Thinking that a statement of my
case may meet the oye of some one suffering
from Scrofula, 1 beg you to publish the follow
ing, which 1 clieoriiilly furnish ol my own free
will:
1 have boon alUloted with Scrofulous H tmor
from my birth, and at times very badly. When
about six years old the disease made Its ap
pearance on my head, and It was deemed ad
visable to have the hair shaved, but they were
obliged to cut it off with embroidery scissors
as my head was so sore I oould not have it
shaved. After wo had succeeded In healing
tho tores on tho outside they broke, but on the
Inside, causing me great pain. There have
been times when tho surface of my hands was
—- ~ ------
pi
have endured.
About three years ago small kernals made
their anpearanco on the cords of my neck, sev
eral ol which grow Into quite large tumors,
and nothing which we oould use would remove
them. My whole system was so lull of aorofu-
lous humor that it seomed ready to burst
through tho skin at all parts of my body, and
1 was in a terriblo weak and feeble condition.
Tho tumor' on my neck had grown to auoh a
size as to disfigure me badly. When in this
hopeless condition 1 was advised by a friend to
try the Ykuktink, and I at onoe oommenoed
taking it, aud alter I had used It a short time
tbo tumors commenced dlicharging, an<l Ido
not think I overestimate the quantity from
oaoh tumor when I say that a good sized tea-
cupful ol corruption ran out, alter whloli they
commenced to hoal up and disappear, and now
my neck is aB smooth and free from bunches
as any lady’s.
I beliovo the Vkmrtinh has entirely cleansed
every taint of scrofula from my system, and I
desire to have this statoment published, so
that other sufferers may find rellof, as they
surely will do, if they try tho Vkqktink.
It will afford me pleasure to give any fur
ther information relative to my case to all who
will call or addresB me.

Mr. H. R. Stevens :
Dear Sir— My daughter has boen out of health
for about two years. About a year ago she
had a tumor oorne on her side whioh was very
painlul.
I saw Vbgktinbadvertised In the ‘‘Farmer,”
and sent to Bangor and got two bottles. She
Is now taking the second bottle; her health Is
much improved, and tho tumor is going away
as fast a.x it oame. Every one in this vloinlty

ter, and 1 take every opportunity to recom
mend it to those who are not aware of its great
value. Very respect!ully,

Mr Stevens :
Dear Air—1 have boen troubled with Canker
from childhood, causing my mouth to be io
sore at times that I was unable to eat. Have
taken many prepurutions, but with no effeot
until l tried your Vbgetine. Alter taking a
lew dosos 1 found It relolved the faintness at
tho stomach that always accompanies Canker
Humor; and by tho time 1 had taken the third
bottle my mouth was entirely cured. Have
not been troubled with It since that time, which
Is eight months ago 1 have recommended It
to several of my acquaintances, and every one
speaks favorably ol its good effeot.
Yours truly,
P. S. SHERMAN.
