much fear that he win hardly be able to cope
with the crop, old and new, OF iuxurisnt weeds
in the field. But he lectures very acutely and
pleasantly upon the endless perversions of

scholars and noted writer's, a. we'll a. by those
unframed. In fact, he indicates IN opinion
that the entirely uneducated clas are not as
great sinners In this respect as those who have
smattering Of learning, and who aim ct fine
language. Mr.. White may well hold up his
hands In encouragement when such ab0min-
able words a inaugufate, donate, orate, en-
thuse, gents, pants, gubernatorial, experiments
alize, Walkist, contr0versialist, A2riculturalst,
presidential, reliable, resurrect, &c, &c, are
seen in almost every page Of print.
