MR.. BONNER AND DIR. HOLMES.

To tie Editor Of Then. Y. Tyibuns
SIR: In your issue Of this morning, fad the fol-
lowing paragraph
at stated that Dr. o. w Holmes has refused offer from
Mr. Bonner of e50o0 20 write half column weekly ior one
year for The Netc- York Ledger"
This, l think will be news to Or. Hol nee, as
know it il to me. 1t probably originated in very
bitter paragraph published in The Philadelphia In
g,,i,er about the authorship of GA True History Of
the Colony of New Plymouth" now in course of pub
LEGATION in The Ledger. The Philadelphia editor
spitefuly remarked that although this History"
contained some good "hts," yet that I" sort Of stuff
in his humble estimation" had become " stale, Hat
and unpr0htable;" and that "the Autocrat" and
''the Proessor" in The Atiantic Monthly we've part
and parcel Of the same thing" have no wish, Sir,
to ncIoacb upon your space by entering into con-
troversy with the editor Of The Inquirer yet you
viii permit me te say that have no doubt, if be be
far and candid man, and will read two or three in
stallments of that History" carefully, he will not
form SO unfavorable an opinion of it. As to It's au-
thorship, am not at liberty to ray anything upon
that point Let it be judged on its own merits, I'M
associated with any name. .....

Number of Words.

The number of good English words
found in use by good writer's, could hardly
fall short Of 100000. Bat we know
these mainly as we know Greek, as book
words, and not rs the language Of speech.
Even if a man was able on extraordinary
occasions. to bring into use in wordy bat
tie half Of that number, he generally cons
tented himself with far fewer. Eaen in.
dividual used in his daily life repertory
of words to- some extent peculisr to him
self-one which would furnish a key to his
private history. Few scholars used as
many as 10000 English words; ordinary
people not more than 5000. In all
Shakespeare there was not more than S.
900 words; in all Milton, 5000. Of the
Egyptian hieroglyphics there were but
800. land it was said that the vocabuiar
Iofthe Italian opera was scarcely greater.
