The INVENTION OF PuNcrUATToN.-

The INVENTION OF PUNCTUATION
Punctuation is peculiar to the modern
languages of Europe. 1t was wholly
unknown to the Greeks aud Romans
and the languages of the East, al.
though they have certain marks or
signs to indicate tone, have no regu-
lar system of punctuation. The Ro-
mans and Greeks also, it is true, had
certain points, which, like the lam
guage of the East, were confined to
the delivery and punctuation of words;
but the pauses were indicated by
breaking up the written matter into
lines or paragraphs, not by marks re-
sembling those in the modern system
of punctuation. Hence in the res
ponses of the ancient oracles, which
were generally written down by the
priests and delivered to the inquirers,
the ambiguity, doubtless Intentional,
which the want of punctuation in
volved, saved the credit of the oracle
whether the expected event was fa-
vorable or unfavorable. As an in.
stance of this kind, may be cited that
remarkable response, which was Civ
en- on we'll known occasion, when
the oracle was consulted with regard
to the success of a certain military ex-
petition: Ibis ct Tedabus nunQuam
peribis IN bello" Written, as it was,
without being pointed, it might be
translated either "Thou shalt go, and
shalt never return, thou shalt perish
in battle;;" or "Thou shalt go and re-
turn, thou shalt never perish in battle"
The correct translation of it altogeth-
er depends on the plasing of comma
after the word nanquam, or after
redlbts The invention of the modern
system of punctuation has been at

In noticing the fact of Judge Lewis,

strain of abuse toward Lewis not be.
coming, even in that journal When
the opinion is advanced that the act
was his own, and done to secure some
better position, it is too absurd to be
entitled to any consideration whatev-
er. Under the circumstances of Judge
Kelly, the editor of the Statesman, hav-
ing been suspected of completely in
the fraudulent resignation forwarded
to Washington several years ago, it is
extremely bad taste in that journal to
treat the matter as it has done Judge
Lewis, whatever his political faults
may have been, has always been re-
garded by good Judges as an able
jurist, and honest. We would not
fatter the editor of the Statesman by
drawing q comparison between his le-
gal ability, or personal integrity, with
those of Lewis. The contrast is as
great as between darkness and sun
light.

if not all, will soon 60 into the obscu-
rity their acts so justly merit. In.
stead of commencing actions for libel
in the courts of San Francisco, as he
should have done if libelled, Senator
Sergeant is seeking to annoy the pro-
prietor of that paper by instituting &C
tons in counties remote from San
Francisco, hoping by this course to
break down and wear out the Ctroni-
Gle by multiplying suits to harass,
without any hope of convicting. If
the vindication of his character and
good name was the object, and that
object attainable, the courts of San
Francisco should and would be re-
sorted to. Success to the Chronicle

WIVES IN RussA-A peasant in the
village of Zalova Baltia, having reason
to doubt the fidelity of his spouse, de.
liberately harnessed her to cart in
company with mare-a species OF
double harness for which the lady was
probably unprepared when she took
the nuptial VOW. He then got into
the cart in company with a friend and
drove the ill-assorted team some six
teen versts (nearly eleven English
miles without sparing the whip,cord.
When he returned from his excursion
he shaved the unlucky woman'S head,
tarred and feathered her, and turned
her out of doors. She naturally
sought refuge and consolation from
her parish priest; but he sent her
back to her lord and MASTER. prescrib-
ing further fagellation. An appeal

relatives resulted in a non-suit, and

THE opposition wing Of the keppb
kean party to the policy of President
Hayes will be futile, and ia the end
destructive to those who may kick Out
Of the traces and attempt to readei
0diops o policy that fosrffths Of the
people approve, President Hayes has
rot abandoned the negroes Of the
South If 81 adherence to fbs Con
ysitRtfSR is "a abandonment Of &Ry,
thing, it is "a abandonment Of that
which should be abandoned, t0,wits
the policy Of The outgoing a4taiBiStf@'
t6B, which was to tyFaaBiz6 over the
Writes Of the South BY keeping armed
forces stationed among them to sap,
press disturbances when none existed,
The opposition comes from the Office
seekers Of The Republican party; men
who deceive the negroes and get their
votes. There has for a long time
been, and is now, rule or ruin ele.
ment in that party that has controlled
it and ruined it, and would have ruined
any country and government of feebler
resources than those of the United
States. A few able fanatics, such as
Blaine, Phillips, Wade and others Of
their ilk, who are as wise as serpents,
but not harmless as doves; whose sole
ideas seem to be their own elevation,
will doubtless draw out and form a
nucleus, around which they will expect
to gather party that will control the
government after Hayes term shall
have expired; but they will find that
they are building upon foundation
of sand, and that their cob house will
fall before the storms of popular SEN
timent that will be hurled against it. |
We have no hesitancy in expressing
our cordial approval of the course of
the President as to Southern affairs.
Senator Morton's published letter on
the situation shows willingness to
keep on the strong side, and if a rup-
ture comes be will be found on the side
of the President. He has fired his
gun like the hunter who fred at an
object in the brush; SO as to hit it if
an elk and miss it if mule. He
remi.ds one of the fellow who was
swallowed by a bear, until his
head stuck out behind; the bear being
pursued and fired by the Indians, he
didn't know whether to draw out or
draw in.
