THE TWO ORPHANS.
CHAPTER /.
THE STREETS OF PARIS.

It was a terrible time of which we
write for all, and from the King,
Louis XIV, down to the wretch who
died in the gutter without raising a
hand to fight against his misery.
But the revolution was some years
distant upon that particular summer
afternoon, at certain Quai DIES
Fleurs, on the southern side of the
Seine, and whence a view of the Pont
Neuf, and beyond it the Cathedral Of
Notre Dame, was to be seen readily
enough.
There were no very signal signs of
poverty to be noted--the wretched,
ever do, were hiding in the dark.
But pinched faces and eager eyes
were common enough to be seen, and
angry glances would now and again
follow a sedan, as two human beasts
of burden carried past some grand
lady, whose jewels and silks could be
seen behind the little futtering silk
curtains.
The flowers had all been sold, and
the sellers and purchasers long since
gone about their business, when a
huge man might have been seen
strolling toward a beetle browed wine
shop which shelved away in one cor
uer of the market place.
He was raggedly dressed, it is true,
and there was an ugly, quick look in
his eyes, like a cur brought to bay;
but his body showed no signs of
poverty. 1t was we'll nourished, and
evidently he possessed herculean
strength, as he seemed to be aware,
by the very mode in which he threw
his body from side to side.
He was known in the quarter as
one of the most dangerous and least
scrupulous of men. When in a good
humor, he would laughingly say he
belonged to killing family. No
one who heard him doubted the
statement.
He. had killed on account of others
as we'll as On bis own. He was one
of those men of the people who, toe
lazy for steady industry, yet eager to
indulge their appetites, readily fall
victims to the temptation offered
them by the more unscrupulous Of
the rich and great, and thereby be-
come the tools by which the people
whence they themselves have sprung
are injured. a
Beyond his strength he had moi
one good quality. 1t was even to be
doubted whether or not he was com
monty brave. But that quarter Of
the town feared him, and the knowl
edge of that dread was his greatest
delight.
Yet this man had one genuine ant
constant admirer-his own mother
La Frochard, as she was called, whose
chief delight was to contemplate thi!
son of hers leaning upon the parape'
of the quay and summing himself; o.
pouring out wine with the air of
bravo at the counter of some black
walled and dusky wineshop.
I She gained living by cropping
among heaps Of offs!, and in the gut
tiers, for saleable refuse. She worked
hard, that Jacques should be fre'
from work, and air himself in th'
sunlight. i,3 4
:, She was hideous, dirty, coarse
, voiced, but she looked almost gra
cious as she caught sight Of him, tn
sunlight falling on his wicked bu
handsome face.
He was active in a moment, sho
an endearing glance toward the wine
shop, and said: Mother, hast tho,

We are at loss TO understand why so
much attention should be paid TO Mr.
WENDELL PHILLIPs's financial vagares.
Mr.. PHILLIPS is a pleasing talker, but he
always was "a bundle of eccentricities, and
such he is still. He is congenitally perverse
in his opinions and his judgments. No
body ever knew him to be moderate, con-
sideratc, or wise. He has always been
grossly one-sided. All through his long
anti-slavery career, his eXnggeration OF
speech and sentiment was so great that
nobody ever thought of controverting
him. He was cometary body whirling
through space, exciting the curious and
astonishing the sedate. The avowcd OBJ
iect of his speech at all times was TO move
people by extravagant assertions aud
catch their attention by violent invective.
He was simply 4 star orator, and a shoot
ing star AT that; and he described all man
ner of elliptical orbits. HIS curves beat
any of those on the back Of his fayorite
grecnback. He was always good al hits
aud retorts and heated defamation.
Mr. PHILLIPS enters into the financial
discussion with all these peculiarties of
mind aud speech and method full upon
MIN. ITO tilks HuuICt now IL lie lulktu
abolition thirty and forty years ago; not
argumentatvely, but with desire for
lively hits and points, and spicy personals
ties and telling enigmas. He desires now
% then TO make people cape and stare.
He longs to raise storm People eXclaim,
"Why don't you play fair, Mr.. PHILLIPS?
Why do you describe cTescents and paro-
bolic curves, and swear they are straight
lines? Why do you misrepresent, and rush
from misrepresentation to misrepresenta-
ton with such nimbeness and audacity,
and double on your track with such agility
that every pursuer is dstanced and con-
founded by your misstatements and exag-
gerntionsr
Is 1t not farce TO address MIR. Phillips
In this wayy Why, II is just the same thing
as asking him not to be PHILLIPS. He can
no more get the Unborn twist ont of his
brain aud character than he can take the
joints out Of his legs or grow monkeys
tail Mt the end of his spinal column. What
folly to look to him for Judgment and prac-
teal sense on subject requiring steadi-
ness, experience, and sober and careful in
yesiGation The very suggestion is enough

The Shapes of Words.

The old question OF reform in the
spelling OF the English language was dis
cussed by the American Pathological Asso-
citation, which met Mt Newport last sum-
mer The upshot of the discussion was the
appointment OF q committee OF six lin
gusts TO consider the subject and report
upon It at the meeting Of the Pathological
Convention in this city next year. New
interest will attach TO the question from
the fact that Messrs. WHITNEY and TRuM-
BULL, the two members OF the committee
who were the most learned and strenuous
advocates Of extensive changes in our pres
ent spelling, have also been appointed by
the Governor of Connecticut rs members of
State Commission to provide an amended
photography for public adoption. In his
address before the Pathological Conven-
ton, DR.. TRUMBuLL, who was its Presi-
dent, argued in favor of photographic
changes more sweeping than NOAH WEB
sTER ever projected; and we believe that
Prof. WHITNEY s views accord in the ma II
with those Of his colleague Two other
members Of the new Connecticut Commits
sion, the Rev. SAMUEL HART and Prof. w.
w. FOWLER, are also advocates of ortho-
graphic reform, though they may not 20 So
far as Messrs. WHITNEY and TRUMBuII.
We presume, therefore, that the report Of
the Commission to the next session of the
Connecticut Legislature will be pretty
radical; but whether the politicians will
so far agree with the philologers rs to
adopt their recommendations and attempt
TO introduce a new system, remains 10 be
Seen
English spelling, ne well M tho spelling
OF most other languages European and
Oriental, is constantly UNDERGOING change
We have not only departed from the spell
ing that was practscd, with variations, in
the time OF CuAUCER, but from that OF
SHAKESPEARE and his contemporaries
who were very irregular spoilers, and even
from that which DR.. SAMUEL JOHNSON
adopted in his famous dictionary Mt the
close Of the last century. The spelling in
vogue in this country also differs some
what from that in England though the
difference is slight and affects but small
number OF words.
NOAH WEBSTER desired n far more
thorough going system of reconstruction
in spelling than he felt himself able to
carry out; but many even Of such novel;
ties rs he introduced into the earlier
editions OF his dictionary failed to meet
popular approval, aud have not held their
ground.
The changes in English spelling during
the last Ave centuries, or since our lam
gunge assumed its present composite char
acter, have been brought about gradually,
and have been based on no system or
scientific principle. There have been
many theoretical photographic reformers
with great schemes, but ali these schemes
have fallen stillborn. As II has been with
them, 50 it will be with any other sweeping
reform in spelling that may be proposed.
Not even the Pathological Convention. nor
yet the photographic Commissioners nor
the Connecticut Legislature itself, can do
anything more in the premises than issue
reports which may be OF interest to q few
lnguists.

Mr.. EDWARD EGGLEsroN, the chameleon
parson, who said on the witness stand at Mr..
BEECHERs trial that he was a minister lying
around loose, tells us that TUPPER HOLLAND Is
"a preacher or nothing; II does not matter
whether no writes letters or novels, prose or
verse, he breaches" True enough. That Is
why TUPPEH HOLLANDS verses are not poetry,
and his novels not artistic They are simply
commonplace sermons changed from very prosy
prose into milk-and- water verse or undrama attic
tales. Moreover, is TUPPER HOLLAND so well
qualified TO preach that he Ia justified In innlct-
Ing hts sermons on the pubicf Does anybody
gain any real good from reading a literature
from which has been carefully expressed every
thing that Ia strong or vlvd7 But let TuPPER

don't call his rhymes poetry, or dignity his
stories by calling them artistic creations. He at

loose, utters his paneVyric o. TUPPER HOLLAND

and I'll tickle you.

The Sandy Hill Herald complains be-
cause the Tribune attacks Senator !. V. BAKER,
Jr, and says that II Is inspired ny JAY GOULD,
who hates BAKER because in 1869 while In the
lower House he voted against the Erie Cassinca-
ton bill, and again in 1871, In connection with
DE WITT c. LITTLEJouN and SMITH NJ. WEED. he
signed a report made by minority OF the Rail-
road Committee recommending the repeal OF
that act, and showing up In no very compliment
tary way the manner In which JAY GOULD had
managed that great corporation to enrich him
self and impover,sh the stockholders. The
Herald thinks II little singular that the Tribune
should 20 out OF Its way to attack MIR. BAKER at
this time, inasmuch az he IL out OF politics.
Doesn't the Herald know that one object OF JAY
GoULD's in buying the Tribune and placing his
stool-pgeon In the tall tower was that he might
be able to wreak vengeance upon those who
have offended him In the past, as well as to In
timidate those whom he may wish to use
at presently But Senator BAKER need not
be unhappy at anything the Tribune may say
against him now; he should rather feel alarmed
II II should praise him. The day when a lash
ing from the Tribune was political humiliation
In the rural Republican districts Of the State
passed away with the death of Horace GREE-
LEY. Since the advent Of JAY GOULD and his
stool pigeon, the Tribune has sunk so low In pub
lie estimation that people look with suspicion
upon whomsoever II praises.

There is no doubt that the greatest tri-
umph that could be won in Brooklyn by MOODY
and SANKEY would be the conversion of HENRY
WARD BgECHER. They ought TO make earnest
efforts in this direction. They ought to hold
special services in his behalf. Perhaps he him
self would let them have the use Of Plymouth
Church for this purpose. lie could not very

Piled tn him for It, and gave him to- understand
the obie they had in view. When the day
came they should place him on the platform,
and labor with him. sANTEY should sing that
beautiful hymn, so appropriate to the occasion,
NINETY and Nine" BowEN should b. called
upon 20 pray, with proper junction., for the pc
Guitar sinner on the plltforn. Then MOODY
should take him in hand, and bring all his ear
nestness and eloquence To bear on him, urging
him to repent Of hts sins. To make fun and free
confession, to lay bare all the bottom facts, to
reform his ways, and TO bring forth the fruits OF
anew life. What II, after such efforts had been
continued for time, BEECnER should be
overcome, should display his penitenua feel
ings by confession that turned everybody
aghast, should submit to penance and discipline,

case, for further prayers from BOWEN in his be-
half, and new exhortations from Brother
MOODY! We can imagine the excitement and
enthusiasm Of the audience In Plymouth Chur CD.
We can almost hear the shouts of joy from
Deacon BELL and other brethren who have
heretofore found their only refuge in the Lam.
entations Of Jeremiah. Again SANKEY would
sing; once more BOWEN would pray; and yet
again MOODY voice would shake tue wrtning

would not be successful. The prospect may
not be very good but MOODY and SANKEY have
