Big words are great favorttes with

Big words are great favorttes with
people OF small ideas aud weak ooncep-
lions. They are often employed Shy
men OF mind when they use language
that may best conceal their thoughts.
With few exceptions, however, illite-
rate and half educated persons use
more ''big words" than people,of tho
rough education. It is a very common
but very egregious mistake to suppose
that long words are more genteel than
short ones-iust as the same sort of
people imagine high oolors and flashy
figures improve their style of dress.
They are the kind of people who don't
begin, but always commence. They
don't live, but ''reside." They don't
go to bed, but mysteriously "retire. {"
They don't eat and drink. but SPAR
take OF REFRESHMENTS" They are naver

And instead of dying, at last, they

lish language is in short words, chiefly
monosyllables of Saxon derivation,
and people who are in earnest seldom

grief, Joy, express themselves in short
words and direct sentences; while cum
ming, falsehood and affeotation delight
in what Horace calls uer6a sesquipeola.

GENERAL KKRsHAw's PLAN TO Re.
DEEM THE STATE. General Kershaw
has written the following letter to q
friend:
CAMDEN. s. O.. July az, 1874.
My DEAR SIR: Your valued favor of
the 11th instant is before me for re-
ply. I have arrived at certain conclu.
aions in my own mind in regard to the
matter upon which you desire the ex-
pcession OF my opinions, and give
them for what they may be worth.
The restoration of an honest, econo-
mioal and competent Government to
South Carolina, et this junctnre, I
consider the paramount duty OF her
citizene. Such means and such sacri-
foes, consistent with honor. must be
resorted to as may be found necessary,
practicable and expedient to accom-
plish that end. With US, it is no
longer question OF Republicanism
and Democracy. The struggle is for
An honest Government, under which
&e caa live and prosper. In compari-
son with that, party distinctions should
go for nothing. seeking no political
triumph. but simply the substitution
OF an honest and responsible Govern
ment for the horde Of plunderers who
