ORTHOGRAPHY.

Noah Webster, in letter to the Editors of
the American Eclectic, a new Magazine, has
some structures upon bad spelling He instan-
ces, in the work Just named, sulphstretted and
earbretted as spelled wrong. He says OF them:

Below is copy of the circular, which has
been forwarded by the Kentucky banks to the
banks of New Orleans, and most of the banks OF
Ohio, Tennessee, Indiana and Illinois;
LOUISVILLE, December 18th, 1910.
The Directors of the Bank of Kentucky, the
Northern Bank of Kentucky, and the Bank OF
Louisville having had a conference on the sub
iect, deem it expedient to hold in the city OF
Louisville, ON the 25th day of January, 1871, a
Convention of the banks of the city of New Or
leans, Illinois, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, and
Kentucky, for the purpose of securing concert
of action in the resumption of specie payments,
and they have deputed the undersigned commit
tees Of their several boards, to address you on
the subject.
The policy of the measure proposed seems to
us SO obvious as not to require argument, Partcu-
larly when we remember that the banks, which
it is proposed shall assemble in convention, have
no conflicting interests, and only fail to in
crease their Importance to the community and
advance their own interest, by refusing or ne
glecting to cooperate in such measures as VIII
insure their mutual convenience and safety,
It is believed, that other matters OF importance
to the banking interests of the South and West
will be presented for the consideration OF the
convention.
Believing that you will concur with US IN the
expediency OF the measure proposed we conf
IDENTIFY expect that your institution will be re-
presented on the occasion.

We are pleased to see that the Tippecanoe
Clubs throughout the country have either dis
solved, or are now making preparations to dc
so. We trust that on the 4th of March next
there will not be one of these political asso-
Citations in a state OF organization. They should,
in this respect, distinguish themselves by a
contrast with the Hickory Clubs which Prece-
ded GEN JACKSON, and continued with him as
long as there were ''spoils'' to distribute and
officers to be filed. Having accomplished the
glorious purpose for which they were formed,
the Tippecanoe Clubs Should neither seek no,
desire political dictatien, or even interference.
They were valuable auxiliaries in the great
contest which has just so happily terminated
and, in fulfilling their design, and that. only
they give another proof Of their patriotism

EscoRr FOR GEN. HARRISON.

The Wing Central Committee of Nashville
! Tennessee, have appointed Col. VIM. Martin Of
Smith County, and Doctor Boyd McSairy, and
Joseph ". Clay, of Davidson, as a committee to
escort Gen Harrison from his residence to Wash
ington. We hope that these gentlemen will re-
consider this movement, and that if they should
present themselves, Gen. Harrison will have the
independence and candor to decline the honor of
putting himself in their keeping. A committee
to escort the President, must of necessity become
the medium of introduction-the channel through
which the President elect will communicate
with his fellow citizens. They viii be as spies
upon his conduct, or passports 10 his favor
and cannot add to his comfort or his reputation
Gen. Harrison is plain citizen, he is the repre-
sentative OF the people, and he requires no com-
mittee to protest or instruct him. Wherever ne
goes, he will be welcomed by the people; he re-
qures no introduction, no formahties,
If the Nashville Wing Central Committee
sends three delegates as an escort, other towns
may do the same, and instead of the republican
President travelling in the unaffected style of a
plain citizen, we shall have pompous parade;
disgusting and offensive imitation of regal pro-
cessions. We repeat our earnest hope that bet
ter counsels will prevail, and that Gen. Harri-
son will be permitted to select his own escort.
That he should be attended b. few friends is
proper, but those few should be of his own selec-
ton, and Of those wins can have no sinister mo-
tives 10 monopolising his person or his influ-
ence. We hope the press will speak out upon
this subject, and that we shall be spared the
pain and modification of such exhibition as
must necessarily follow the arrangements pro-
posed by Ike Nashville Committee,

REET ROnr auGAR.

The increasing culture of the sugar beet on
the Continent of Europe, is producing trade of
new importance in the sugar manufactured from
its saccharine juices. In France, the quantity
now produced is something like 50,0OO,OOO kilo-
grammes. The Dutch papers state, that, in a
single establishment in Vosterbick, in Guilder-
land, about 100000 lbs. weight of the beet
root are consumed in the manufacture Of sugar
The only returns given for Prussia and Central
Germany are from 1886 to 1883, and the annual
production of sugar was then estimated at II )
100000 lbs. The quantity now made, is OF
course much greater. At the close Of 1888, Aus
tria produced 100000 lbs. In Bohemia the
number of beet root establishments was, in 1885,
as high as 81. The manufacture of this species
of sugar, is carried on in Russia to a great ex-
tent Since 1872, establishments for extracting
and preparing the juice, have increased, in Mos
cow alone, at the average rate of forty per an
mum.

A TOUCHING NARRATIVE.

An eminent clergyman one evening be-
came the subject Of conversation, ald a
wonder was expressed that he had never
married. "That WONDER" said Miss p.
"was once expressed to the reverend
gentleman in my hearing, and he told Inc
story, in answer, which will tell you;
and perhaps, slight as it may seem, it is
the history Of other hearts as sensitive and
delicate as his own. Soon after ordina-
ton he preached, once every Sabbath,
for clergyman in small village, not
twenty miles from London. Among his
auditors, from Sunday to Sunday, he OBJ
observed young lady,who always occu-
pied a certain seat land whose close attcn-
ton began mscnsibly to grow to him an
object Of thought and pleasure. She left
the church as soon as service was over,
and it so Glanced that he went on for a
year without knowing her name but his
sermon was never written without many
a thought how she would approve it, nor
preached with satisfaction unless he read
appreciation in her face. Gradually he
came to think OF her other times than
when writing sermons, and to wish to sec
her on other days than Sundays bat the
weeks slipped on; and though he iancicd
that she grew paler and thinner, he never
brought himself to the resolution either
to ask her name or to speak with her.
By these silent steps, however, love had
worked into his heart and he made up
his mind to seek her acquaintance and
marry her, when one day he was sent for
to minister at a funeral. The face of the
corpse was the same that had looked up
to him Sunday after Sunday, till he had
leaned to make it a part of his religion
andhs life. He was unable to perform
the service, and another clergyman pre-
scntohiciatcd; and after she was buried,
her hthcr took him aside, and begged his
pardon for giving him pain, but he could
not resist the impulse to tell him that his
daughter had mentioned his name with
her LAT brcathand he was afraid that a
concealed affection for him had hurried
her to the grave. Since that time
sad the clergyman in question, "my heart
has been dead within me, and | look for
ward onl'. shall speak to her in hea-
ven.'

FEMALE LONELINESS.

1t is not the smiles of a pretty face, or
the tint of complexion, nor the beauty and
symmetry Of thy person, nor the costly
robes and decorations that compose thy
artificial beauty, nor that enchanting
glance which thou dartest with such lus-
ire on the man thou dcemcst worthy Of
thy affections. 1t is thy pleasing deport-
mcnt, thy chaste conversation, the sensi-
bility and purity of thy thoughts, thy at.
fable and open disposition, sympathising
with those in adversely, comforting the
afflicted, relieving the distressed, and
above al, that humility of soul, that un-
trigncd and perfect regard of the precepts
Of Christianity. These virtues constitute
thy loveincss. Adorned but with those
OF nature and simplicity they shine like
the rciulgcnt sun, and display to man that
the loneliness Of thy person is not to be
iouad in the tinscl ornaments of the body,
but in the reflection of the rectWde and
serenity Ola well spent life, and scars
above the transient varieties of this world:
and when thy happy spirit shall be waited
to regions OF eternal bliss.

lous and successful interest to the Adj

OF this care of our commercial interest,
was treaty of navigation and commerce
with the imam of Muscat, which relieved
our commerce from discriminating du-
ties. Another advantageous treaty has
been concluded with the kingdom of ST.
am, and approaches have been made
with the ssmc desirsblc object to the en-
pirc of Cochin China, Japan and China.
Nor has our extensive and valuable trade
to the Red Sea been neglected, the coun-
tries OF which, both under the Govern
ment of Mallommcd Ali, Pacha of Egypt.
The value of our trade to the Dominion
of the Sultan of Muscat is greater than
may be supposed. Official returns for
eighteen months Of vessels that visited
ZANZIBAR, show the number to be forty-one,
of which thirty-two were American.
Twenty of these were from Salem, three
from Boston, and three from New York.
ZANZIBAR is a Island on the east coast OF
Africa, and Is the depot for the trade Of
that coast, and of the Red Sea and Per
sian gulf. The United States arc rep
resented there by a consul.
Sultan Said possesses large territory
on the cast coast Of Africa, extending
from Cape Delgado to Cape Gardatili.
Ills navy consist Of seventy-livc vessels
of war, Of which several are line of bat
tlc-ships, which is a larger naval force
than that of all the Asiatic princes CONG,
bincd on the indian ocean.
The presence Of one Of the Sultan's
ships in our harbor afford US extreme
qualification !; and we hope that the "Sul-
tannee's voyage to tic United States will
result in frequent visits Of Sultan Said's
vessels to our ports. Washington Globe

CRows.-As the season is now at hand
when crows will become troublesome to
our corn field turkey nests, and young
turkeys, recommend the following plan
to your readers, which will relieve them
from their dcpredations. Every spring
for several years past, 1 have succeeded
in catching crow with common steel
rat trap. Iopcn hole about four inch-
es deep, and ten, inches wide, in Which
1 put the trap, near fence where they
usually alight, 1 then carefully crumble
earth, free from grass or roots, over the
trap until it it is entirely covered. Itllcn
put an egg near the head of the trap, and
raise the earth around the hole, so that
the crow cannot reach the egg, without
going into the hole one side of which IS
left open to enable him to do so. In en-
deavorine to the egg, he gets upon the
trap, which catches him by the legs, and
he is disposed Of for the season. A stone
should be fastened to the trap and bu-
ried otherwise he will, in his exertions to
get away, carry it SO fast that it may DO
lost. Upon being caught he will 'caw'
most violently, and his companions will
come to his rescue, and when they find
he has been trapped, they fly to great
height, take off and do not generally re-
turn. Should they do SO, however, and
discover his carcasc, they will again be-
come alarmed, and will not return again
for the season. Try, it, farmers, and rid
yourselves and your neighbors of these
tormentcrs.-Gcrmanto~n Telegraph.
