Snch indeed seemed to be the spirit

1t is refreshing to be brought in contact

Convention seemed to be grave, thought
.fuf, practical, persevering,-and yet bold,
wi4raf, confident, Independent, and en-
thusiastic. Unlike q political Conven
tion this business Convention could bring
itself directly to the point, and stick to
it, Cheap transportation, byriver, slack

ONLY subject allowed to be discussed.
Speeches, short and pointed, were the
order of the day, both Tuesday and We'd

WORDS IN GENERAL USE.

1t has been calculated that our Ian.
GU age, including The nomenclature of the
arts and sciences, contains 100000 wosds;
yet, of this immense number, it is sur.
prlsing how few are IN common use. To
the great majority, even 5of educated
men, three fourths of these wordssare al

Webster or Worcester will have shrunk.
1t has been calculated that agchild uses
only abont one hundred words; and un-
less he belongs to the educated classes,
he will never employ more than three or
four hundred. A distinguished Ameri-
cen scholar estimates that few speakers

Even the great orator who is able to
bring into the field, in the war of words,
half the vast array of light and heavy
troops which the vocabulary affords, yet
contents himself with a far less imposing
display of verbal force. Even the all

seems amazing, and whom DR.. Johnson
charges with using" ga Babylonish dialect"
uses only 5000; Shakespeare himself,
''the myriad minded" only $4,000
These facts show that the difficulty of
mastering the vocabulary of new ton

too, how absurd is the boast of every
new dictionary maker that his vocabula.

WHAT WILLIE's PUPPY DID.

was whipping his horse to make him

them called out, in his helpless indigna

Still the fellow laid on the whip.
