What Lynx, correspondent Walworth County
Independent says OF Susan 8, Anthony.
The event Of the week in Delavan
was the lecture of Susan B. Anthony.
People have heard so many sharp,
caustic sayings Of Susan, that they are
inclined to set her down as all vinegar
and vitroi, whereas she is full Of gent
ality and sunshine. She is not an an
gular looking ancient maiden lady, but
a woman of fine physique and COM
handing presence. It is true that her
sarcasm is as keen as raZor-but her
wit is as bright as q diamond-hilted
dagger = and her irony is perfectly
whitening and inimitable. In fact,
Susan Anthony has one Of the bright
est intellects on the American rOstrum
to-day. She Yields q whip Of scorpi-
ons, and lashes what she deems to be
error in the most fearless manner-and
nearly all parties and classes come I'M
der her lash-but by her wealth of
thought and easy command Of Ian
guage she held an audience OF nearly
four hundrrd with the closest attention
for three hours. Of course, many OF
Miss Anthony's ideas arc visionary and
some Of them are communistic and i'm
practicable-but with all that, from an
intellectual point Of view she is a
bright ornament to American woman

What is the alloy? But the Journal

The Journal seems to be the binder Of

give the composition Of the silver dol

will enlighten many OF its readers; ;
Cor, SO far as they have depended on
the Journal for information, none of

A FAITHFUL BANK OFFICER.


DEXTER, Me-, February 23.-Last
evening, J. W. Barron, the Treasurer
Of the Dexter Savings Bank, not re-
turning home, search was made for
him, and he was found locked in a
vault, handcuffed and gagged, and with
q rope around his neck. He was sense
less and died this morning. He had
several bad wounds on the forehead.
The robbers obtained less than hun
dred dollars, and it is supposed that
they murdered the Treasurer because
he would not open the safe.

"BOB"I. ON THE PRICE OF PEWs.

"BOB"I I. ON THE PRICE OF PEWS.
A new and amusing story which is
told Of Col. Robert Ingersoll runs as
follows; During his trip to the East
during the campaign, the Colonel on
Sunday went to fashionable church.
With characteristic Western independ-
ence he ignored the usher, and select
ing the finest pews he could find,
ensconced himself in the softest corner.
Soon the great man who owned the
pew came along with his family and
sat down. But such impudence could
not be permitted to pass by unrobuked,
and the proprietor Of the pew wrote on
the fy-leaf of hymn-book; i pay
$4,000 o year rent for this pew and
passed it to the Colonel. Quick as
thought the ready pencil came out, the
book was returned with an additional
line, and the indignant owner read the
comment: C fine pew for the price. ,"

In your several able dispositions on the effect
you forget the fact that "4121a grains cuts but

were you to explain the component parts form
ing the dollar in question What is the alloy?
How much of this alloy is used to compound
this dollar, and what is the relative value OF the
alloy and the silver? A. SUBSCRIBER.
The 41211 grams silver "dollar OF
our fathers consists ef 371I grains OF
silver and All grains Of copper alloy.
This alloy, which enters into all our
silver coinage, has but little intrinsic
value, and therefore adds a mere trifie
to the actual value Of the coin. The
alloy of copper is introduced into the
coin merely for the purpose. Of render
ing it hard and preventing Wearage.
We take the above from the Chicago
Evening Journal Of the Goth instant.
The Journal fails to answer the
questions asked, ."What is the alloy !?
How much Of this alloy is used to COM
pound this dollar, and what is the rel
alive value Of the alloy and the Silver?
And failing in this, it fails to give
the composition Of the silver dollar.
What does the Journal mean by cop
per alloy? Copper is not an alloy any
more than silver. or. gold is an alloy
An alloy is d compound Of two or more
metals. The silver dollar is an alloy
The gold dollar is an alloy. All gold
and silver. coins are alloys. But nei-
ther gold nor silver nor copper is an
alloy. IL the Journal had said that
the 4121a grain silver dollar Of our
fathers consists Of 37115 grains Of sill
yer and 41175 grains of copper it would
have given, correctly or incorrectly,
the composition Of the silver dollar.
But by not answering the question,
What is The alloy? and BY the use Of
copper alloy, II leaves Its readers with
out the information asked by Subscri-
Der.

SOUND TAW-GOOD ADVICE
Rad GRAMMAR

.
BAD GRAMMAR
We take the following question and
answer from the official department Of
the Wisconsin Journal Of Education
for February 1878.
@. Can q person elected county super
intondent, and holding q certificate,
finish a school already begun?
A. This is a question between him
and the school board and the county
board. He should not continue to
teach to the neglect Of his duties.
Had better get some one to take his
place in the school.
The foregoing answer may be sound
law and good advice, but it is bad
grammar. The last sentence is bad
grammar and the word had is the
word making it bad. The printer
may have interpolated the word had,
but whether he did or not, it stands
in the Journal as used by the State
Superintendent. Tn either case it
should be corrected in the next jour
nal. Though had is very commonly
used, and frequently by those called
good writer's and speakers, in connec-
ton with the word better, we cannot
think Superintendent Whitford or
Assistant Superintendent Pradt would
SO use it. But if either Of them does
we will venture to say that whenever
he does he uses it incorrectly and I'M
dramatically
Had better get. What is the mean
ing Of had as here used. Properly used
had implies past possession, but there
is nothing here for it to have possessed
but better, and better is not q thing to
have been possessed. Have better get
would be immensely better than Had
better get, for have would bring the
possession to the present time, but as
with had there is nothing for it to pos
sess but better and better is not thing
to be possessed. Shall better get
would be immensely, not to say in
finitely, better than Have better get
for shall does not imply possession and
indicates future time, the getting some
one to take the teachers place being
future it is correct in this respect.
What kind of q verb is had get and
what is it's mood and tense. The same
may be asked Of have get. The kind
Of verb and mood and tense Of shall
get can be expressed, but it does not
express the superintendent meaning.
His meaning is that O teacher elected
superintendent better get some one to
take his place in the school than to
neglect the duties Of superintendent.
Many who arc in the habit Of using
such phrases as had better get without
realizing that they are inaccurate and
ungramnatical by substituting have
or shall for had would see in a moment
the righteousness Of such expressions.
And yet the use Of either have or shall
| would be much better than the use Of
had. Such is the effect Of blind habit
with many who consider themselves
and are considered by others good
writer's and speakers. And it is fully
time that such blind habits and their
effects should be scattered to the winds.
