THE CHINESE LANGUAGE-In learning
e lgiIsh, a chic commences with letters,
ont the elementary things in Chinese are
syllables, because what we should call
letters are fnll f1tdged words. Instead OF
our twenty SIX letters, the Chinese has
about five hundred syllabes, ana these
are combined together, in an almost un-
limited permutatlon, to form their fifty
or sixty thousand words, each represented
by a separate character From the pau
city OF thel" syllables, they have to give
them many Specifications. Thus, for in
stance, Rev S. r. Brown informs US that
The syllable cbGe has two hundred and
twelve meanings; ching, hundred and
thirteen, etc. Hence, If one Chinaman
says To another simply chae, he may mean
any one of two hundred and twelve things
which is practically nothing and he has
therefore, in order to limit it somewhere,
to speak another syllable of kindred sig
MITIGATION, either before or after it, These
two syllables sometimes three) he utters
so quickly together, that they form one
word as much as in English, which fact
makes it inaccurate to call Chinese mon
osyllabic language. In other words, the
is invarlable; SO that, in case of the word
"lncomprehensibillty," for instance, we
can not write any two of the syllahles to
gether to form a new word whereas the
Chinese (supposing it had so long word
though it very seldom has one OF more
than three syllables), could pick it to
pieces, and make perhaps a dozen, or two
dozen new words. 1t is hardly too much
to say that Cinnamon can unite togerh
er any two of the five hundred syllables
which have any kinship in meaning, ana
make an Ineligible word.
Let me use a hOmely illustration. Sup
pose two Cinnamon sit down on opposite
sides OF table, one Of them with five
hundred blocks smeared with glue at
both ends. He might pick up and show
to the other any one of them, and he
would at once call out any one of its dozen
or hundred meanings, for EACH Of which
he would make different character but
to communicate any extended or precise
information, his friend must glue them
together in couples or threes. This
is why the Chinese is not, as it is usually
called, a monosyllabc language. We can
say in English, II went TO town last night
and found my friend, and went with him
to see the play" all in monosylables !;
but it is impossible to utter in Chinese
any thing but the shortest sentences in
monosyllables as ngo sheco :" say :" ne
sbs shsoe !" who are you ?" A rapid speak.
er IN English does not separate his words
| by greater intervals than bis sylIables :;
neither do the Chinese. The error of
calling the language monosyllabic has
arisen from the fact, that in writing the
Chinese make one cumbrous and compll-

TRICHINA.

The following is from the Journal of
Chemistry THE frequent occurrence of
deaths from the presence of these para,
sites in the human system creates alarm
on the part Of nearly all pork eaters
Pork affected with the worm is generally
darker than usual nd it presents speck
led appearance to the naked eye. When
pork IS eaten containing the parasite, the
cyst in which 1t is involved is quickly
dissolved by the gastric juice, and the
creature is set free. Finding itself in the
midst of nourishing food, it rapidly
grows; so that in two or three days it is
four times its original size, and begins to
penetrate deep into the muscles Of the
victim. To do this i bore8 through the
toGttS of the intestines, producing terrible
mischief. The most excruciatng pain is
pro duced from the inflamed muscles, and
the patient dies in great agony. The pig
is most commonly infested by the trichi,
ma bat they have been found in the
muscles Of dogs rats, foxes, frogs, moles
and most carniVorous birds. Thorough
cooking of pork destroys the life Of the
parasite and therefore no cold raw ham
sausages, or unlocked pork in any form
should be used"

ASSEMBLING OF THE CONVENTION.

In courts of law the party which at
tempts to commit one fraud is thenceforth
viewed with suspicion in. all its proceed
ings. This is a rule, venerable and solid,
which human nature accepts as applicable
to all the relations of life. The merchant
who finds his clerk dishonest in one
transaction trusts him slowly ever after
ward. The citizen who detects his neigh
Dor in a falsehood or a fraud puts himself
on his guard in his future transactions
with that man. And he redoubles his eau
ton if the explanation contains an equivo-
cation of questionable honesty. Sup
pose we Judge the State Central Committee
by this venerable and accepted rule of
every day law. 1t was the agent of the
Republican party, and a part of its duty
was to assemble conventions whenever
the interest of the party required them to
be called. Coupled with this duty was
another, to state where the convention
should meet, in order that the delegates
might be relieved of all trouble on the
subject. The committee, in the discharge
of its duty, which it was bound in honor
to perform with faithfulness to the entire
party, and not to a faction, called a con-
vention of the party to meet in New Or
leans, but omitted to mention the place of
meeting. Being charged with the neglect,
and racpaotfuIIy rooroe+aF IL
oversight, it not only refused to comply,
but fortified its refusal with a falsehood,
by asserting hat the convention could
not meet with safety in the hall of the
House of Representatives. First, then,
we have the fraud, and now we have the
falsehood to sustain it. If the bare sup
preston of a duty, and the subsequent
refusal to correct the evil, do not consti-
tute a fraud, certainly the untruth that is
invented to excuse it fixes the character Of
the act beyond all controversy in the eyes
of all honorable men as a cheat. If the
committee had been honest, itwouId have
in a manly way-the convention
shall meet at a certain place, and then
all manner of doubt would have been
at an end. 1t had the authority,
and there was. no disposition in
my quarter to question the exercise of
his legitimate authority. And in our
irst reference to this subject all we asked
vas that this uncertainty should be re-
moved by a positive announcement of the
lace Of meeting. The committee, how
yer, had not decided this point in its
