Miss Won Hiilern,s Walk.

This evening at O. clock Miss Bertha Won
HIllern will commence her second great walk
In this CITY. AT this time she will essay to walk
SS miles in 26 hours without sleep. Consider
ing the season of the year, this is perhaps her
most difficult feat, but she has little doubt of
her ability to accomplish it The track is now
in good condition, and the hall will be thrown
open for public inspection. Mr.. Thomas would
like to have any who are credulous as to the
distance 60 in and measure the track. A more
satisfactory way, however, would be for the
skeptics 10 walk around nineteen times at a
good pace, and if they are not convinced that it
is mile, then they never will be convinced of
anything.
Today Miss Won Hillern will remain absolute
ly quiet and will not receive any callers She
will sleep all that she can and prepare herself
for her task. She will start promptly, and
those who wish to see the start must be on time.
The hall will be cooled with ice kindly furnish.
ed by Curtis & Soule. Some idea of the dis
tance to be Travelled can be had when it is re-
membered that it takes nineteen times around
the hall to make mile For her walk of SO
miles she will be obliged to make 1872 circuits
AS she takes 112 steps to each circuit, she will
be obliged to take 1877, 264 steps in the &c hours
One of the physicians who examined her ply
steal condition at the close of her previous walk
says be has no doubt but what she will finish
this walk in equal good condition. The ladies
are all enthusiastic over the feat, ard they will
be out in full force, rain or shine. Horse cars
will leave for all parts of the city and for Deer
ing at the close. The Tourist will also run to
Peakes' Island.

CONFORMING SOUND TO LETTER.-Richard
Grant White, in an article in the New York
Times on the pronunciation of English says:
"All this comes from public-school teach
ing, and from the tyranny of the spelling book
and the dictionary. Instead of spelling with
out thought as to their speech, these speakers
are trying to be exact to be exceptionally cor
rect, TO talk Ikea book. to speak dictionary
english. A word to them is not a sound
which expresses some thought or some thing.
bat something which is spelled and
which they must carefully pronoudce according
to its spelling. This is illustrated by the
strange work that is made with proper names.
1t is rule in all languages, and among all
peoples, shat the pronunciation is decided
entirely by custom, without regard to the way
in which they are spelled. But in America re-
cently-that is, in the United States-the GUS
tom has come up of pronouncing them rigidly
according to their spelling. Thus we not only
have WARWICK and 'Wor-ces ter instead of
War'ick and Wooster, but the Shawangunk
Mountains, which in our youth were the Shon-
go Mountains, are now Sha-wan-gunk, with
the n and the thrust into our ears; and poor
Lake Winnepiseogee, instead of Its old name
Winipisaukie, has every syllable given to it
that can be exborted from its letters by a
schoolma' am. Delhi a name absurdly given
a town in Allegheny County, is called
Dell-hgh. when its real name is as
nearly as possible Daily. Still farther West
Terre Haute is called Terry Hut, an amazing
conformity to the spelling book. If an edu-
Gated man were to write its real name phono-
graphically Tare Hoht he would not be nearly
SO ridiculous as those who find its name not in
word, but in an assemblage of painted signs,
In the city of NewiYork there has been of
late years remarkable change of name
effected by this rule of spelling, What said
to me an old gentleman. member of high
ly respected old New York family, "What do
these people mean by Dezbro-sez street?
There's no such street. The name is De Broose
street. He then informed me that the street
was named after family whose name was
spelled 'Desbrosses, but pronounced De Broose,
and that until it appearedI on the street cars
| it was always so pronounced This solictude to
conform sound to letter has become disease
among us. 1t exists in no other country; and
here it is due ito the scboolmaster, the spelling
book and the dictionary"

OLD ORCHARD CAmp.mEETrNG.
Third Day.

The camp-meeting at Old Orchard was con-
tinued yesterday with as good success as could
De expected under the dscouraging oircum-
stances OF thick fog and driving drizzling
rain.
ine half-past ten meeting was conducted by
ex-Gov Perham, and was held in the taber-
nacle, which was fairly we'll filed After
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Gould, pastor of the
methodist church at Northampton, Mass,
capt. Coyle of this city was introduced and
made clear and forcible remarks. He was fol-
lowed by Rev. Mr.. Malcolmn of Vermont, who
gave an encouraging report of the temperance
cause in that state. Mr.. Hillman of Auburn,
Mr. Colt of Salem, NH, Owen b. Chad
bourne of Saco, Rev. Mr.. Gould of North
ampton, Mass, Rev. D. NJ. Cousins of Bart
lett, N. H., and Gov. Perham also spoke
briefly and said that the first inquiryiin regard
to a candidate for Office in this state was as to
his position on. the subject of temperance
Several of the speakers argued that liquor was
the main cause of the terrible late railroad
riots, and Mr.. Gould quoted the proclamation
OF Pittsburg, who is a brewer, closing the
saloons during the strike TO illustrate the in
consistency of the opponents of prohibition.
The afternoon meeting was held in the
tabernacle
The address ON Temperance Reform by Prof.
George E. Foster of Brunswick University,
New Brunswick, was the best presentation of
reform work and prohibition ever heard at Old
Orchard. Prof Foster stated that all reforms
were characterized by five elements LIST, 1t
must be founded on some fundamental truth
I'd, 1t begins and is carried on for some time by
minority; Sd, The first ard only agent that
can be used for certain time is moral suasion;
4th, Every reform requires time in its com
pletion. proportionate to the greatness of the
evil it opposes; 5tb A reform has never been
accomplished and lever can be without the
browning aid of legislative enactment By
comparison with previous reforms, Prof Foster
found that the temperance cause has all these
elements.
The speaker then discussed the question of
prohibition in a manner that showed low
thoroughly he has studied the subject, and his
keen logic made chain of argument that was
absolutely without flaw. Ills closing suggas-
lions were very practical and full.
The unusual press of matter this morning
crowds out the full report which the speech
deserves He was followed by Rev. G. B.
Pitblado and j. X. Osgood. The evening
meeting was held in the Biddeford house.

MANY who are suffering from the effects of the
