The Present Condition of Latin Gram
mar.
By Prof Gustavus Fischer of New Bruins
wick, N. J.l
Suetonius reports that the first
teacher of Latin grammar was
Crates of Mallos, who after the
second Punic war stayed in Rome
as an ambassador of King Attalus,
being compelled to prolong his
residence for considerable time by
fracture of his leg, which had
happened when he fell into an ope1
gutter or sewer. The fact was q
bad omen. Scioppus, a learned
German philologist of the last cen.
tnry, cynically remarks that since
this ominous fall all Latin gram
marians were nothing but cloacines
wallowing with delight in the mud
of the sewers. Certainly the science
of Latin grammar has not KEPT
pace in our day with other sciences
The purpose of the paper was to
show that in almost every part ot
syntax the present condition o.
grammatical science is exceedingly
defective. This was demonstrated
by a very abundant citation of pas
sages from Latin authors and gram
marians, and a careful analysis O.
the assumptions of the latter.
The paper was long and far too
technical in its character to be
fairly represented in this report
The following were among its con
clusions: If We examine the treat
ment of any subject in Latin gram
mar we shall find it open to criti'
cism. The grammars leave US
without any answer just where they
ought to answer; they often answer
Just where it is not worth while t
ask question. In my opinion the
time has come when we should ap
ply to the study of language. The
philology is one of the natura
sciences, and accurate and minute
observations is no less necessary il
it than any other of them. Philo.
logy, indeed, deals with the mind
we may call it physiology, but Al
the same time history of the mind
We have already begun to apply
this microscopic investigation tt
the origin of words; it remains nov
to apply it to syntax in the same
manner as many members of this
Association have successfully ap'
piled it to some parts Greek gram
mar. Such a treatment of Lati1
grammar would be essentially his
torical, carefully separating tn
different epochs, and always begin
ming with the oldest writer's il
which a given syntactical form
occurs.

Reference is made to the extraordinary cure
of Professor Lawrence, Principal of the In
stitutes of Elocution at New York and Phila-
delphia. He says as follows:
about ten years ago, while residing in
New Jersey, had violent attack of chills
and fever. The chill would come on regular
ly about ten O'Clock, and continues for near
ly two hours. followed by burning fever for
more than FIVE hours, which no medicine
could hardly walk across the room, and could
not ascend one flight of stairs in less time
than ten minutes. My life became burden
to the. loathed every kind of food, and
every kind of food, and even water tasted to
me like copperas. could get no refreshing
sleep either by plight or by day; the medi-
cines prescribed for me by physicians gave
me no relief, and was fast sinking into the
grave. One day lady persuaded me to pur-
chase box Bellamy's Pills. l took three at
twelve O'Clock noon, and three at night. AT
ter taking the two doses l felt better, and that
night, for the first time In three months, slept
for fully eight hours. The next morning l
felt much better, and took three more pills
AS ten o'clock approached prepared myself
for nv daily chill, but TO my intense JOY my
unwelcome visitor did not come; and after
eating hearty dinner at one O'Clock, took
three more pills, and at night three more
The next morning, after a delightful nights
rest, arose at seven o'clock, feeling quite
well and although still very weak, yet was
able to enjoy my food, and whether eating OF
drinking, everything tasted sweet and pleas
ant to me. In about seven days time was
strong enough to walk four miles, and fell
perfectly cured. Ten years have elapsed
&nse then, and have never had another at
hck of Chills and Fever.
"P. LAWRENCE,

In conclusion, the proprietor has only tt
state that he will guarantee to cure any cast
of Chills and Fever. No fee will ever in sucl
pay or not. All that is desired is, that ht

horses rubbing themselves against the

Ii the clouds all move one way during

numerous, and your wife wants new

most branches on the west side, the next
year will be prolific of thunder storms
and lightning-roi agents.
If pumkius are frost bitten before
they turn yellow, and house-rent goes
up, and catnip tea has a bitter taste,
and saw-logs show an inclination TO roll
up hill, the potato rot is sure to follow.

Jim and Sal.

One quiet day in leafy June, when
the bees and birds were all in tune, two
lovers walked beneath the moon. The
night was fair, so was the maid they
walked and talked beneath the shade,
with none to harm or make afraid.
Her name was Sal, aud his was Jim,
and he was fat and she was slim; he took
her and she took him.
Says Jim to Sal, "by all the snakes
that live and squirm among the brakes,
| love you better than buckwheat cakes,
Says she to jim, "Since you have begun
it, and been and gone and done it, love
you next to new bonnet"
Says Jim to Sal, "My dear, you've
bursted, but have always gals mistrust-
ed
Says Sal to jim, Through thick and
thin for your true love count me in. Ill
court no other man again"
Jim leaned to Sal. Sal lear ed TO Jim !;
his nose just passed her chin; four lips
met--went-ahem-ahem-l And
then-then-and then.
o, gals beware OF men in June, and
underneath the silvery moon, when irogs
and June bugs are in full tune, lest you
get your names in the papers soon.
