While Hood was composing the ''Song

out in an American garnet the means

1871, and his career since that period
up to the present time affords an cpl
sode in the annals of intelligent labor

with the lights and shades, which af-

THE Germans are free from that fear OF
losing trace of the derivation of words which
obtains with those of our scholars who most
strongly oppose all reform In our contradicto-
ry and puzzling orthography. The German
spelling is already in accord with the pro-
nunciation, and the Germans accuse the
English of writing one language aud speaking
another. But they are not satisfied with
partial reforms, and contemplate further
changes in the direction of phonetic spelling
A correspondent of the Boston Adoertiser
says that the Prussian government has TAX
en- the matter in hand and entrusted the
preparation of the new rules to Professor
Raumer of the University Of Erlangen.
When submitted they will be adopted in the
public schools, and all the textbooks will be
printed according to the new orth6graphy. 1t
is likely that the other German states will fol-
ow the lead of Prussia. One of the proposed
changes, which, in fact, is already adopted by
many publications, is the dropping OF the let
ter h in all cases where it does not begin a
word or syllable, since it is silent and is not
considered necessary for the prolongation of
the vowel, the latter being the only plea
urged for its retention. For example, words
aohoI, fair, Ehre; IVohung, will be spelt vol,
far, Ere, Wonung. Another change urged is
the abolition of the diphthong ie, leaving sim
piysi. In that case words like brief, aoie,
Liebe would be spelt Brit, wi, Libe. This
change, though strongly recommended by
many, seems hardly likely to be adopted, how

A PHILOSOPHICAL correspondent of the
Tribune attempts to account for the rush and
hurry to be seen in the streets of New York.
His theory is this: In the vicinity of Nassau,
Wall and Broad streets, there are many hun
dreds of active, strong-minded business men
men whose minds constitute the real mo-
tive force that keeps in motion the gigantic
machinery of our great financial and COM
mercial systems-whose wills necessarily, are
strongly concentrated upon their responsible e
business transactions, until around each in
dividual there is formed nervous or vitaized
atmosphere which increases in intensity and
quantity in geometric ratio according to the
number of individuals collected together in
such state of mind. They are in feverish
haste, while anxiety is expressed in their
every action; and the emenations, projections
of the mind, SO to speak, partake
largely of these attributes. If this be
the case there would seem to be
danger that the promenaders in the vicinity
of Wall street would be so influenced by this
"vitalized atmosphere" that they would al
fall to picking each others pockets and
would feel an irresistible desire to gamble
and steal

The IngerSOIl Affidavit.

The affidavit of James Fl. Ingersoll, the
man whom Governor Tilden pardoned, gives
full history of the gigantic thefts of the
Tammany ring. 1t confirms all that was
suspected of the misdeeds of the knot OF men
who plundered the treasury of New York
city for several years. The names which fig
ure prominently in this revelation of fraud
are William M. Tweed, Peter B. Sweeney,
Richard B. Connolly, James Watson, and
Elbert A. Woodward. OF these five men
Sweeney fares rather the worst, though
Tweed does not lose his well-eai ned promi-
nence as ''the boss thief of the world"
There has been doubt in the minds of some
ifSweeney took any of the stolen money for
his own use. Ingersolps revelations put that
doubt at rest. The money was divided
among the five thieves.
When Ingersoll obtained his contracts he
was told to ''fx his bills so as to put up twen-
ty-five per cent. for Tweed, twenty per cent.
for Connolly, and ten per cent. for Sweeney"
This he very readily did. After the money
was drawn the percentage was carefully fig
ured, and the shares enclosed in envelopes,
sealed and endorsed with the proper initials.
Other contracts were doubtless managed in
the same way. Ingersoll estimates that he
received for the work done by him, nearly or
quite twice as much as he could have obtained
blythe most liberal honest contract. Add to
this over-payment the sum which passed into
the hands of the magnates of the ring, and it
will be seen that the city of New York paid
over three times the value of the work done
for it by Ingersoll. Other jobs were doubt
less figured on the same basis.
When exposure became inevitable Tweed
gave orders to destroy all the books and pa
pers relating to the dishonest transactions.
This order was carried out, ,and had the effect
TO partially protect Tweed land pretty effectu-
ally screen Sweeny. But the plunderers
could not guard against treachery. They
probably had no apprehension of Ingersoll,
so closely. concerned was he in the frauds.
The importance of Ingersolps testimony is
great. 1t fully meets the call of Tweed's
counsel for bill of particulars, and will be
a powerful weapon for use in the civil suit for
$6,0OO,OOO which is now pending against the
old chief of Tammany. Ingersoll has earned
his release if his revelations enable the city to
bring to Justice the rascals who have defraud-
ed it, and to recover the money which has
been stolen.

The plan to manufacture sentiment for
the Cuban patriots and to float the Cuban
bonds has not been given up. Its support
efs have an idea that there are other men
in the country as cheap as the Democratic
members of the New York Assembly. 1t is
said that the average prco of those legisla-
tors was $4,000 in Cuban bonds-a high
sounding sum, but chiefly valuable for its
weight as waste paper. Unless the cost of
engraving is increased there is no reason
wby the bonds should not be turned out so
long as men can be bought. The revived
scheme is an extensive one. 1t is reported
bv those aware of tue movement that an in
fuential lobby has been secured, who are to
visit in the next six months score Of the
principal states, and to work resolutions
through the Legislatures aud the approach
ing state conventions, favoring Cuban indie
pendence. In this way, it is believed by the
projectors of the plan, a large pro-Cuban sem
timent can be manufactured; and ii the reso-
lutions should be ratified by a dozen or
fifteen states in convention or in legislative
