"THAT's VERY ODD.'-A gentleman was
recounting his travels one evening after
dinner to friend, and commenced in this
way when I was travelling in Russia
was attacked in crossing forest by pack
of twelve wolves, and from my postchaise
window / fired my revolver and killed the
first wolf, and, strange to say, his com,
panions stopped and devoured him, ana
then came on again to the tlght. sho'
another, and my position killed third,
both of which were deyoured, and SO we
went on until only one wolf remained, and
| killed him as we were entering the town,
and observed that he was immensely fat.
He, of course, had devoured all his COM
panions." "Dear me-" said the friend,
"thats very odd" every odd" said the
traveller: "but not nearly so odd as that
which happened on the following day.
was out shooting antelopes, and fired at one
as he stood on the top of craig, and, ODD
to say, the ball passed through his neck and
killed another which was standing on acrais
a quarter of mile off," "That's very odd,'
said the friend. "Yes, but the odd part
of the story is to come. The report of my
rifle so alarmed an old he bear which hap
pened to be in q tree, that he fell to the
ground, broke his neck, and died on the
spot" WE'LL" said the friend, "upon
my soul, that's very odd" "ies, odd"
said the traveller; "but not so odd as the
sequel to my story. A thunderstorm
came on, and / sought refuge in a hollow
tree, and, to my horror, | descended into
a nest of young bears, where had not
been very long when l heard strange
tapping, the unmistakable signs of the re-
turn of the she bear. She assembled the
tree and was descending the hollow. With
the rapidity of lightning seized her by
the tail and plunged my hunting knife
into her launches, upon which she started
upward, dragging me with her, and as she
went down on one side of the tree |
escaped by the other" "Now, really,
that's very odd" said the friend, "for us
the first time in my life ever heard of a
bear with a tall" eyes" replied the ira
weller, and it was the only time ever
met with one, and that's very odd"

The Tuscaloosa Monitor, in speaking Of
the reconstruction question, says 1T
makes no difference to us whether you
call it q submission, acceptance, acqules,
cence, or compliance. So that the Peo,.
pie comply with the terms, you may car IL
what you please. To our mind, the DIS,
tinction is about the same as that between
tweedle-dum and tweedle- dee. What we
want is unity, concord, and harmony OF
action in this hour of our country's trial;
Rv all means let us have this, and not iaii
ont about mere verbiage."

The l.ynchburg Republican, the Norfol
Journal, and the Charlottesville Chronicle
are at loggerheads on q grammatical ques
ton. The Chronicle says:
ITO the Norfolk Journal: Would yo'
say, A large number of pigeons suddenl.
appears, and ScdtterS through tho woods
Ii not, why would you say, A large mum
Der Of copies of this speech IS to be distri
buted among the colored people ?
" Nsnber is a collective noun-some
times singular, sometimes plural. IL
plural I'VE think above, because the ide'
OF distribution at once awakens the notiot
of plurality or many parts. Thus again
We should say, a large number oil pigeons
,cas seen there Yesterday but, A large
number of pigeons tcre seen to spread
themselves over the woods
The Chronicle is rarely wrong upon any
question. 1t comedies too much, however
when il admits that it would be right t'
saw "A large number of pigeons soaS seer
there Yesterday" The defective grammar
must be set down as an Anglicism. The
gcnitive is not true one. The nominative
case should be the subject of the verb, a.
it evidently is not if "number" is the rea
nominetive. In the sentences quoted 10y
the Chronicle the " number is not the sub
iect. butthe pigeons" lfitwere any other
language than English, the perfect parti-
ciple "seen," for instance, would also have
to agree with its subject" The birds +"
were seen, not the "number." "A verb
INNS, agree with the fact" would be a
GOOD rule in grammar. "The number OF
the birds killed was large" Here mum
Der" is the subject; the number, not the
birds, was large-large after the killing
But "a large number of birds was killed"
i not correct. Here "birdS" is the SUBJ
ect. The birds, not the number, were
killed. "Thcre were many persons
in the pit, and large number OF
them were killed." says one person.
"Were they, indeed ?" some one in
ouires. But if it were correct TO say
"a large number Of them was killed." it
would be equally correct to inquire in re-
DIV, " W rs II, luuetu! again OWN 10
a perfect participle. Perfect participates
are adiectives sometimes; as, ga large
number of the editors of Virginia are
slearned." In other languages perfect par
ticples are pluralzed, like adjectives, to
make them agree with their subjects"
Now employ adjectives, and it will be
evident that the verbs mast be plural: ga
large number of the birds were red, a
large number were white, and large
number were black" Red" "white,'
and "black," would be plural, and the
verb must necessarily be so. Certainly
number has no color, and therefore ii would
not do to use singular adjective; and II
the adjective be pluralized, the verb goes
with it into the plural number. If it be
said that birds" is understood after the
adiectives, we reply, certainly, and so it
may be after the perfect participle if you
choose. "a large number of the birds
were red (birds), and a large number were
killed Tor dead birds)." "a number" is
not necessarily singular, any more than is
ga hundred"
n. B.-Not more than one hundred ar
ticles in reply to the above will be &C
cepted.

with her father, down town, that
we were no longer State but territory

fused, but did not miss the truth very far
