SMITHSONIAN Observation-Disclosures the
gale, there was good audience at tbs Smith
sonian on Morday night, To hear the lecture Of
Rev ]. c. Richmond, of Wisconsin, upon 1.-The
origin and Saxon strer 9Th of the English tongue
The lecturer briefly noticed the various Ian
guages Of Europe, and the origin Of the English
language, whose foundation consists principally
Of Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, German, Welsh,
Italian and Scandinavian; treating chiefly upon
the force, brevty and beauty Of the Saxon element
Of our language. He hit sharply the habit Of
clergymen, Cong ressmen and other public speak
ers, Of reading their sermons or speeches, and
argued that IL q man has anything In him worth
notice, II will come out spontaneously, In plain.
strong Saxon, without any necessity for WI. ting
out revision or rehearsal. Amusing illustrations
we're aiven Of the derivation Of many Of our most
common words, and choice selections from Chau-
and other poets quoted to illustrate the perioriy
OF plain Saxon. Quite q sensation was created by
the sudden extinction Of the gas lights about nine
O'Clock, resulting from some disarrangement Of
the meter The lecturer, however, proceeded
with his remarks, Notwithstanding the darkness,
aud the difficulty was soon remedied.
IL Is proper to remind those In charge Of the
lamps between Pennsylvania avenue and the In
stitute, that they would be spared many maledic-
lions by attention to their duty on the evenings
Of lectures, and obviate the risk Of broken limbs
Incurred BY adventurers among the man traps OF
Tenth street.
