The Difficulties Of English Spelling.

The Methodist comments favorably
upon the spelling school mania, and
adds: 1t is noteworthy fact, that the
English is the only civilized tongue in
which the problem of spelling offers any
difficulties The French, with its pc.
culiar sounds ana silent letters, appears
hard to stranger but the correspond
ence of sounds to combinations of letters
is fixed, and the rules once learned, the
pronunciation of the word follows from
the writing, and the manner Of the writ
ing from the sound, without variation.
In the other languages of Europe,
whether of Teutonic or Latin derivation,
each letter has its exact value, and mis-.
takes-provided the ear be correctly
4rained-are impossible. AS the coun.
tries speaking these languages must be
deprived of the spelling school," we
may congratulate ourselves on having
one amusement that is unique. Our
language, as to its written forms, must
be classified with such primitive tongues
as the ancient Assyrian, whose writing
has been pronounced the most compli
Gated ever invented, and the Chinese, in
which every word is represented by its
Independent character.
1t is serious disadvantage of our
complicated and irregular methods that
SO much time Us to b consumed IN
learning to spell. What other people
-. IL Al
time of our schools for years, and is
"ever completely acquired No rules
viii answer, but each word must be
learned by itself in detail. The time
thus spent must of necessity be lost
from other branches of knowledge. We
find it hard to believe that anything can
be gained from the retention of the
present forms which will compensate for
tins loss.

Two GREAT nol;tical failures have oc

Two GREAT political failures have oc
CURED in Michigan this spring First
the attempt to elect "non.partisan'
ticket by coaxing republicans into the
democratic fold. Every advantage gained
in that way is loudly crowed over by
the democracy as republican defeat
But the sheepskin was too ragged to hide
tte beast of pray this time. Second,
tie puffs of democratic papers for Ly-
man d. Norris because he helped beat
Thomas II. Benton, a Wilmot proviso
democrat, twenty years ago, and because
he aided in getting the Dred.Scott de-
cision against colored men, and always
stuck to the restricted suffrage doctrines
of his party. The republican state of
Michigan is not yet ready to eat all her
apti.slavery principles and action by
electing a man who always opposed
them.-Lonsing Republican.
