How TO CURE STAMMERING.-Lute
A. Taylor, editor of the La Crosse
Wis., Leader, who has been an in
yeterate stammerer, writes as follows
about the way to cure the habit No
stammerlng person even found any
difficulty in singing. The eason of
this is, that 10y observing the measure
of the music-by keeping time-the
organs of speech are kept in such a
position that enunciation is easy.
Apply the same rule TO reading OF
speech. and the same result will fol-
low. Let the stammerer take Il
sentence, say this one Loander
swan the HelIespont'-and pro-
nounce it by syilables. sean it, keep
ing time with his finger ii necessary.
letting each syllable occupy the
same time, thus. Le-an-der-
and he
will not stammer. Let him pro-
nounce slowly at first. then faster.
but still keeping the time keeping
time with words instead Of svilahles,
and lie will be surprised to find that.
by very little practice. he will read
without stammering, and nearly as
rapidly as persons ordinarily talk or
read. Then practice this in reading
and conversation until the habit Is
broken up. Perseverance and at
tention IS all that is necessary t.
perform IL perfect cure.

BLASTED HOPES.

Several interior journals, knowing
Tut little of the merits of the Capitol
Appropriation Bill. have expressed
strong hopes that the Governor would
refuse to sign the bill; but thai hope
has vanished, as the bill is now q law,
with the Governors approval. We
have advo. ated this bill from the be-
ginning because we believed it to be
Just and right that the State should
nav for all it received from innocent
parties. without reference to the short
ronlingS Of Mr.. C~avanaugh in falling
% meet his engagements. We re
..dd the bill is signed, and that the
material men and laborers will now
yet their pay when they can prove
mp a Just claim before the Board of
Examiners. We don't believe there
is a jury OF twelve Intelligent business
men in the state who would not have
found a verdict againstthe State. could
the State have been sued, for the
amount found to be due from the con-
tractor, as the State through lis agents
and representatives failed 10 comply
with the conditions Of the contract in
furnishing the stone and in departing
from the original specifications. The
state has value received for every dol
lar it will have to pay out for the Cap
itol building. We venture to say there
- not a public building on the Pacific
coast of Il similar character that has
been built for a like sum of money.
The building is one of which Carson
City and the State may We'll be proud.
It's architectural beauties and inside
finish reflect great credit on Mr.. Cav
lnaugh as a builder, and completely
upset the charge that he was incom-
pctent to undertake and carry through
the work t a successful completion.
