The tEIEE LANGUAGE.-I most
ancient Greek. found now only on
monuments. consisted of sixteen let
ters only: four centuries after four
more were added, and in modern
times the Grec;an alphabet was in
creased to twcuty-four letters and l.
the basis Of our own. The forma-
ton of the Greek alphabet and the
Greek language was at a period so
early that NJ authenticated history
has reached back to it.
The Greek language has one Pc
culiarity that the Latin has not.
Greece was 4 conquered country for
two thousand wears prior to the rev
olution in which Lord Byron ven
tured his fortune and lost his life:
hut he who is familiar with the
Greek language can converse with a
modern Greek wherever found.
What must he the character of a
language that is destined to live for
ever?
The Greeks, $500 years ago, We're
writing and conversingin in a language
as perfect as the intellect of this age
can construct i, 500 years after,
and in the 18th century, there was
not language used in conversation
on the globe that was respectable; or
that showed the genius that had
formed the Greek. Why was this?

CAN'T FIND IT.

At a social supper recently given
to Dead Duck Forney in Washing
ton, Sumner was called upon to re-
spond to The Government" He
did SO in the following sarcastic
strain;
Mr.. President do I represent the
Government? Laughter and ap-
plause, [ wish [ did represent the
Government, but fear | do not. l
do represent Massachusetts, That S
50. The venerable Commonwealth
who gives me permission to speak
for her. [ do not represent the
Government. and vet. as | am called
upon to speak of the Government, I
am reminded of an incident which
may not be familiar to all, and as l
do not remember to have seen 1t in
print, of what occurred to Joseph
Bonaparte when he landed in New
York, after the overthrow of his
family, when, leaving France, he
sought a home on this side of the
ocean. and reaching New York, he
looked about for a soldier or gen
darme, or at least policeman, to
whom he could exhibit his passport.
He found none. and at last exclaimed,
This is the only country where /
ever found myself in which | could
not find the Government | believe
that YOU are not more fortunate to-
night when you call upon me to
speak for the Government than
Joseph BonapIrte was when he
landed in New York. Laughter
and a2plauseI. We are Of course
talking confdentially here. 10, yes,
Of course -
This. it seems to US. is rather sarcas-
ticon Mr.. Grant, for it is evident that
Chawles meant the Administration
when speaking of the Government.
Poor Grant, Except as Il dispenser
Of patronage and the signcr Of grab
bing bills, he amounts to but little.

IN extraordinary case of prolific
ness is reported from Meisbroeck, in
Belgium 4 poor woman named
De Baets, who had last year given
birth to twins, has again presented
her husband with three babies, one
boy and two girls. If that woman
was Washburn, or Dent, there
might be some sense in raising rela-
tious for the President with such
startling rapidity. As it is, the
poor woman's" husband probably
hungers for a little practical appli-
cation of the Malthusian doctrines to
lis cumulative offspring.

RADICAL STRATEGY.

On Friday before the Connecticut cleo
ton, q leading article in the Tribune as
serted that Connecticut had been sold to
Tammany, and added:
''We have now the last proofs of the
infamous bargain. On Wednesday night
William NJ. Tweed. received from Gov.
English dispatch in reference TO the
bargain previously exposed in these
columns, in these words: do not dis
appoint US. Noshing could be more
disastrous.
Upon hearing of this article of the
Tribune, there being similar one in the
Times, Gov. English telegraphed from
his residence in New Haven, complete
and emphatic denial that any such dis
patch ever passed between himself and
Mr.. Tweed, and corroborstes his denial
with a certificate from the manager of
the Western Union Telegraph Company
in New Haven, that no such dispatch was
ever sent from his Office, and another GER
tifcate from the manager of the Franklin
Telegraph Company in New Haven to
the same purport.
This may be honest political dealing in
the estimation of the Tribune and
Times, but plain people will not be
likely to so call it.

HEPREsENTATIV MAN OF
THE RADICAL PARTY.


The Meridian (Miss. Mercury makes
the following statement in. its issue of
March 25: -.r... e.. -..a -.
'Gncendiarism is seldom established by
direct and positive testimony. Men may
lie, and commit perjury, but circum-
stances never lie. The investigation,
which closed Thursday evening, and the
testimony of which was all written down,
has a chain of circumstsntial evidence
pointing so strongly to William Sturgis,
late mayor of Meridisn, as the inceudiary
of the night of the 4th, as to crowd out
every other theory of the conflagrstion.
He stands out before the world as an in
cendiary, and the fomentor of riot, in
which a Judge was shot on the Justices
seat by negro. He is besides under in
dictment for q felony in this county,
which would send him to the peniten-
tiary."
This Sturgis was permitted TO depart
North Immediately after the fatal riot at
Meridian. When he reached New York
he concocted and published most infa-
nous libel upon the people of Mississippi,
and especially of Meridian. The reason
for his conduct is now apparent. The
fellow felt quite sure that the grea: crime
of which he had been guilty would be
discovered, and so he sought to break the
force Of the exposure of his guilt by
branding the people of Mississippi as lit
tie better than a set of cut-throais-as
being in league with the Ku Klux, and
rendering life and property of Northern
men and "colOred men" unsafe in that
State. His distribe was printed in the
New York Tribune and republished all
over the North, and he was held up as a
mSrtyr to the cause of Radicalism. II
now turns out that he is a criminal, and
besides being under Indictment for a felo.
ny.which would consign him to the peni.
Tertiary, he is an incendisry and fomento1
of riot in which q Judge land Rsdi-
cal, at that, was shot in the Justices seat
and killed by negro. This man Sturgis
is q type of that class of Northern men
who come down South, not to make their
homes among US and become identifie
with US 0y common interest, but to prey
upon the people and TO libel them in all
manner of ways. This criminal is now
regarded by q large class of Northern
Radicals as a martyr, and bis libel upon
the people he has so deeply wronged i:
herslded through the Northern States a:
q true version of the condition of affairs,
not only in Mississippi, but throughout
the South. Can sensible Republicans al
the North be longer surprised that Their
party has become odious in the Southern
States, synonymous with all that is in.
famous in politics and morals, when such
fellows as sturgis are made representative
men of that party, aud canonised SIS
martyrs when justice overtakes them2 Il
is libel upon truth and justice to- say
that q Northern man is not perfectly Sc.

THR Maryland Union brings out new
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for President-John W. Garrett, of Balti-
more, President of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. Garrett has displayed
most excellent executive ability in the
management of his railroad, but it would
require different order of talents to run
the United States government. There
can this be said in favor of Mr.. Garrett,
or any other man who may be named in
connection with the position, that we can
not be worsted by putting any man in the
Presidential Office as the successor of Gen.
Grant
