violation of very obvious physiological
laws, The common orthography is
chargeable with the weakening and ru-
lining of the constitutions of many chill
dren, who have been set at the work of
mastering our anomalous spelling, at a
very early age under the impression that
children, from the age of FIVE to eight
years. will acquire it more readily than
those who are older Not only does it
result in the waste of much time, but in
the useless expenditure of large sums of
money which might be devoted to high
er uses, if we had phonetic orthSgra-
ply. The money now required for the
education of one million children in the
arts of reading and writing, would edu-
cate three millions in those arts, if we
had a phonetic orthography.
| Second. The common orthography re-
quires that the child, at the most i'm
pressible age, should be taught to read
and write in manner violating the die
tates of his common sense. The natural
effect of learning deceptive, inconsis-
tent, absurd system of representing lam
guage is, to degree, to blunt the child's
sense of truth. consistency, and ration
ality.
Third. 1t engenders in the minds of
thousands distaste for study. To this
may be traced very much of the ignor-
ance of reading and writing known to
exist in Great Britain and America.
Fourth. So great are the irregulari-
ties of the common mode of spelling
that no person is able to. pronounce a
word which he may see printed but
which he has never. heard pronounced.
Fifth. No person can tell the common
spelling of any word which he has heard
pronounced but which he has never seen
written or printed. The result of the
two last men toned defects is that read
ing and writing are felt to be difficult
whereas, q phonetic orthography would
bring about the most accurate and uni
form pronunciation.
Sixth. Our spoken language is him
dered in, if not absolutely prevented
from being the universal medium of COM
munication.
Seventh The common orthography
occasions great difficulties to those who
endeavor to represent unwritten Ian
guage.
Eighth. 1t results in a general pro
found ignorance of the elements of that
language which is in hourly use by mill
ions.
Ninth. 1t occasions difficulty to elo
cutionists in writing concerning the ele
ments of our language.
1t enhances the cost of books, etc.
above what they would cost with pho
netic orthography, millions of dollars an
nually.
All these evils may be replaced with a.
many important blessings by the adop
ton of phonetic mode of representa-,
language.
With those blessings, great advant tagei
would be gained, time would be saved
and life thereby, would be heightened.

Now if the Ohio Legislature wants to
pass law that is very much needed, let
it enact that any fool who points. gun
or pistol at another, Intentionally, shall
be sent to the Penitentiary for at least
ten years, or to some asylum for lunatics
or idiots for life
Here is an account of an occurrence at
Dayton recently:
"a shocking accident occurred this af-
ternoon about 3 o'clock, at the saloon of
Capt. Ad. Knecht, on Third street, near
the Third street railway crossing, in
which man was shot and mortally
wounded. Robert E. Stephen, D. GILES
pie, Capt. Knecht, and other gentlemen,
were in the saloon engaged in pleasant
conversation, when old Mr.. Ross picked
up venerable pistol, which had been ly-
ing around for three or four years, and
playfully painting it at Gillespie, pulled
the trigger An explosion instantly fol-
lowed, and Gillespie sank to the floor,
apparently in dying condition. The
ball, which was a large one. entered the
right side of the skull, making fright
full hole in it, through which the brains
ran out upon the floor.
Mr. Ross, who was horror stricken at
the dreadful sight, hastened off to the
authorities and gave himself up. OF
course he is entirely innocent of any
criminal intent, and he is distracted and
in pitiable condition of mind. The sur
geon who was called into see the wound
ed man said he could do nothing for
him, as the wound was necessarily NOR
tai. The pistol with which the dreadful
deed was committed had been loaded by
some one unknown to Ross. And this
is another sad warning to every one to
refrain from carelessly handling fire.

SPELLING REFoRA"
The primary aim of orthpgraphy
should be the expressing of the sounds
and not the histories of words. This is
not principle requiring demonstration
1t is one which must be received as an
axiom by every mind who has thought
upon the subject, and considered the ma
ture of phonetic mode of representing
language
"A better proof, of the necessity of ad-
herring to this principle, could not be
given than is furnished in the ordinary
photography, in which the attempt to
represent the history of iwords has con-
tributed largely to the serious evil that
no person is able to tell, with certainty,
the pronunciation of any printed word
which he has never heard pronounced,
nor tell, with certainty, the customary
spelling of any word which he may hear
spoken, but which he has not seen writ
ten or printed. II is at this point, that

In nearly every one of our exchanges
we notice articles in favor of parents
purchasing toys for their children. No
one loves children more dearly than we
do; but we doubt whether parents do
not make grave mistakes in this matter
The child who gets every toy which
strikes his fancy, rarely takes much care
of any thing. He comes to believe that
his parents are bound to buy him every
thing he wants. He loses the true ap-
probation of the proper use of money.
He forgets that money and property are
the product of the toll and labor of some
one.
And what lesson of dishonesty does
it teach the child, when his parent lays
out his scanty fund of money for useless
toys, when the child perhaps the next
day hears his parent tell the coal dealer,
the baker. the grocer, or the man who
has furnished him with any other abso-
lutte necessaries for the family, that he
has no money wherewith to pay him.

The last number of the Golden Link
was issued last week. Mr.. Acton, closes
with the following valedictory:
The LAsT.-This number closes the
year. In January, 1875, we announced
that the Golden Link would make its ap-
pearance, and in due time it came forth
Since then it has been issued regularly
about the middle of each month without
interruption. 1t was not commenced as
a money making scheme, and it has not
disappointed its owners 1t was a mere
experiment with desire to benefit the
editors own school, which in some de-
gree it did, and now that he occupies an
other field, and has less time to devote to
this kind of work, and as there does not
seem to be pressing demand for its con-
tinuence. with this issue the name of the
Golden Link will be stricken from the
roll of living journals.
1t was not made as good as it could
have been, but was better than its sub
scription list warranted, and better than
great majority of similar publications
are. The editor thinks two things.
First, he fulfilled bis promise and gave q
paper monthly for almost nothing. Sec
ond, some subscribers did not fulfill their
promises, and this caused him to give his
paper quite for nothing, and to pay shout
ten dollars for the privilege of doing it.
But such is life; and with no complaint
against any, this last number goes into
the file with many pleasant memories.
Our association with the editor and
compositors of the Standard Office has no
dark places. From the first we were
treated with the utmost consideration
and kindness. They did their work
promptly and well, and have settled with
no disagreements. Upon the whole it
has been a pleasant work, and not with
out its profit. If any into whose hands
our paper has fallen have received bene-
fit and they have paid their twenty FIVE
cents, the editor is amply rewarded.
Sometime in the future when he can
afford it he will be glad to commence its
reissue at five cents subscriber and pay
it himself; but for the present he pre-
fers to retire from the editorial ranks
and enjoy the laurels already won.

several little news items which we clip.
Here is one:
All the Station-houses were crowded to
their utmost capacity last night. The
lodging-rooms were all full, and at two
or three every cell had its inmates. Most
of them locked up for being drunk and
disorderly.

ONE LESS.

Here is an account of another man
who reaped the reward of his free exer-
else of the glorious personal liberty SO
highly priced by the great American peo-
pie. All right. We have no tears to
shed. The account appeared in several
papers. We clip the following from one
of them:
The folly of intemperance has received
no more horrible illustration, of late,
than that afforded in the case of Joseph
Jacob. in Cincinnati, last Thursday night.
He became intoxicated, and while in
that state fell into gutter filled with
scalding water from a neighboring brew
cry. How long he remained in this ter
rible bath is not known, but about twelve
o'clock he made his appearance at his
lodging house in an almost exhausted
condition. Upon putting him to bed, it
was discovered that the unfortunate
young was terribly scalded, the flesh of
his back from his neck down being so
thoroughly cooked that it peeled from
the bones at touch. He died last Fri
day morning.

When Vice-P President Wilson died, the
question was raised, who would act as
President if Grant should die? Senator
Ferry had been elected az President pro
tenn. of the Senate during the life time of
the Vice-President: but some doubted
whether this would entitle Mr.. Ferry to
succeed Grant. Ferry is Republican,
and the Democrats went to work to see
if they could not get their new Speaker
of the House, Kerr. to succeed Grant,
and many of them came to the conclu-
sion that Kerr, and not Ferry, would
become acting President in case Presi-
dent Grant should die. This was becom-
ing q rather serious matter. The Demo
Gratis have murdered every President
who was not Democrat, except Grant,
since the organization of the Democratic
party. Harrison in 1S41, Taylor
in 1s49, and Lincoln in 1865,
were all put out of the way by the
lovely Democratic party, and although
Grant is pretty hard to kill, they would
have found their Booth. in the person of
some Southern rebel or Northern cop
psrhsad.
To save the life of Grant, and prevent
such national disgrace as the adminlstra-
ton of Tyler, Fillmore or johnson,
the Senate, before its adjournment for
the Holidays. declared that Mr.. Ferry is
President of the Senate pro tenn, until
Jan. Z. 1876, when an election for that
position will be regularly held.

boasted civilization. How much is the

special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Ga

MANSFIELD, O., Dec. 12-Walter Nc
Fall, the son of Gaylord McFall, of New
York City, died last night at the resi-
dence of his grandmother, Mrs. Hugh
McFsll, of this city. His death was occa-
stoned by severe burn received some
two weeks since. Having been out late,
and going to his room, as is supposed, in
a state of intoxication, he went to bed
smoking cigarette, from which the bed
clothing and his night clothes took fire.
About 8 o'clock in the morning, discov-
ering himself enveloped in flames, he
rushed from his room down stairs. into
the open air. The family were aroused
and the flames Immediately extinguish-
ed, but not until he had been SO severely
burned that, after lingering until the
present time, enduring indeseribable
pains, death put an end to his sufferings.
His funeral was attended this afternoon.
This is another warming to young men
against the use of the intoxicating cup.
But how about the cigarette? "The
intoxicating cup was not what did it.
