A Cosmopolitan Languaee.

Latin used to be, until within COM
paratively few years, the language OF
learned intercourse. AS it has ceased
to hold this place, writer in the Pail
Mall Gazette, Professor John Stuart
Blackie, suggests that Greek be so EN-
ployed by scientific men and persons of
cosmopolitan culture. He says:
Among languages which belong as
much to the world as the people which
use them, there is none for moment
can stand comparison with the dialect
of Homer, Plato, Aristotle and the New
Testament. For not only does this Ian
guage contain greater amount of more
rich and various culture than any other
language-not even excepting English
but it does, in fact, form the basis of the
technical language of all the sciences,
even the most recent
" 1t is, moreover, the only language
that forms living bridge between the
great past and the great present; and as
a living language it holds position not
likely to be affected by any political
change that may take place in the coun-
tries where it is not spoken. In order,
however, that the language Of the eney-
clopedic Aristotle may become current,
as the general medium of communion
ton among learned men, it is absolutely
necessary that radical reform should
take place in our methods of classical
indoetrination, and that Greek should
be taught, not from dead books, but
from living speech
This is the method which have long
practiced, aud which l offer myself to
prove, if it were expertly carried out,
would convey more Greek into the heart
and head in six months than by the pres
ent methods is done in many years In
a rational system Of teaching any Ian
guage, whether living or dead, the eyes
must be'trained, not by books in the first
place, but by objects; and the ear and
the tongue, now so woefully neglected
and debauched, must be treated, not as
the secondary, but as the primary sources
of all linguistic acquisition.

Smith, Secretary of State, we're Issued
N the bank in full payment of the stock,
The bonds fell due respectively on the
| first day of January. lS4s, 1853, 1858
and 1868. All were paid except the
last installment, now held in trust for
the benefit of the Chickasaw Indians.
Next the Nashville, Murfreesboro and
shelbyville Turnpike Company came
in as a beneficiary to the amount OF
s66, 500 66a at 81 per cent. interest.
These bonds matured in 1861, and after
travelling over the South we're returned
at the end of the war and transferred to
the hands of the Secretary of the In
terror, who now holds them in trust for
the benefit of the Indian tribes. The
old Tennessee Bank was founded in
1888, and bonds to the amount of S., $780,
600 issued to it, bearing interest ct the
rate of SIX per cent, and maturing in
1868. Soon after, however, 81 500, 900 of
these bonds we're returned to the State
and Cancelled by Governor Polk, leav-
ing 1000, 900 out. The turnpike system
was also inaugurated in 1888, and bonds
issued from that year to 1852 to the
amount of $l,24O, 200, all running thirty
years, and bearing five per cent. interest.
In 1850 the State issued $3.50, 900 six per
cent bonds to the East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad Company, maturing
in 1890, and soon began general issue
of bonds for internal improvements,
which was continued until the Constitu-
tional State Convention of 1870 put an
end to loaning the State credit for such
purposes. Without going into the long
and tedious details we pass on to the re-
capitulation as follows: The total
liability of the State will be after the
whole is presented $27, 920,3s6 As.
But the amount upon which interest will
actually have to be paid, it is claimed,
will be reduced as follows: By amount
due from solvent railroads and upon
which they pay interest, $50, 46l GIL rs;
amounts due from the purchasers of de-
linquent railroads, 1929, 700; amount
of Endorsed bonds upon which the rail
road companies pay interest and which
the State is not called to pay, $2,l52,-
10000; total, $6,437, 54S.75, leaving the
actual State debt, not intending the
school fund, s2l, 4s2, $3.50; amount Of
school fund, $2,5l2, 10000; total debt,
$23, 995, 337.5O. This will bear an annual
interest of about 81, 100000. The tax
payers may rely upon it that this is not
an over estimate.

FROM CUBA.
spanish Intrigue = Efforts 10 Con- |
Wet DOckeray.


New YoRK, July ia Havana letter
says it is obvious to any one familiar
with Spanish character that there has
been quite an amount of Spanish in
trigue at work in the case Of f. II.
Dockeray, the American recently SEN
fenced to death. The Spanish official,
after vainly seeking for some specific
accusation against Dockeray which
would hold water before the military
tribunal took refuge in the broad one Of
infedencia, which embraces all manner
of offenses, but first charging him with
being a chief of the Insurgents, then
newspaper correspondent, then a spy,
and finally concluded that he was still
more important personage--secret en-
issary of the Government OF the United
States, sent to the Island for informa-
ton respecting the war. The following is
the substance of the testimony, which the
Spanish authorities are using to compli-
cate the case. A Cuban named Varona
was arrested at Manzanillo recently, and
the declaration obtained from him by
the fiscal is to the effect that he was pres
emit at the house of the Uuited States
Consular Agent in Msnzanillo on the
evening Dockeray appeared there in JAN
uary last, and that he then learned that
Dockeray was sent to Cuba by the United
States Government to obtain fnforma-
ton about the war, and he says Dockney
had letters crediting him in such capacity,
although he did not see them. Whether
Varona's declaration is deliberate in
vention it is impossible to say at this
time. He has been imprisoned hereto.
fore as suspecto" but in this case he
figures as witness for the prosecution.
The Captain General has accepted the
statements of Varona and ordered Lau-
ten, the American Consular agent, to
quit the island in twenty days, the man
date styling him the Vice Consul of
Germany, although he also represents
the Consular interests of England and
the United States. He sailed short
time ago, and is now in Jamaica.
The Cubans have again shown them
selves in the neighborhood of Halquin
and one or two unimportant encounters
followed. The Cubans captured the
garrison of Gauyacales, carrying off all
the portable property, as well as nearly
all the families of the place. At Trini-
dad the Cubans are in force, and have
captured and hold possession of the city
of Trinidad. They are about to form
two regiments of guerillas, paid by the
planters to protect their plantations. In
the environs of Puerto Principe the Gu
bans are in strong force. Last Friday
week sixty guardia civil and the best sol
diers the Spanish have, an6 all picked
men, when returning from one Of the
small outposts, where they had gone to
escort convoy, were attacked by body
of Cubans within sight of the forts sur
rounding the city, and were all put to
death by Machetes. The Spaniards dare
not show themselves outside of the cor
don of forts except in columns of from
1900 to 1000.

A hind Actor.

Berlin Correspondence New York Herald
A most remarkable fact connected
with the Meiningen court company is
that of one ofthe principal players, Herr
Wellenbeck, who took the part of Pope
Sixtus, and has been perfectly blind for the
last three years Few people who at
tended the performances ever imagined
for moment, however, that the actor
who moved with such ease and precision
on the stage before them did not see the
scenes around him. Fortunately for
him, his affection did not come upon
him until he had been for some years
member of the Meiningen troupe, so
that he knew the boards by heart when
blindness came upon him. Whenever
new piece is to be given they undertake
many rehearsals in order to make the
blind actor feel at home in his new
role. The drama of Pope Sixtus was
quite new to him; and a Critic who
knew of his affection wrote how he
trembled for fear of the actor making a
false step. But he moved about and as
cended the throne with safety and dig
nifty. Since my eyes died, said the
actor to this critic, " / see everything
clearer with the nerves of the brain.
Life concentrates itself in my head I'M
disturbed by the external world which
for me no longer exists. " Wellenbeck is
man of intellect, having enjoyed schol.
arly education in his youth. He is the
son of an Austrian councillor, now de-
ceased, and has always moved in the
highest society. His father died only
few years ago, without knowing of the
affection that had overtaken his son,
Who with the assistance of servant,
wrote letters to him up to his death.
The Duke of Meiningen settled PEN
sion on this remarkable actor some years
ago, so that his future is provided for.
