What Il PhiladelDhian Says.


Virginia, mother OF statesmen, conserra-
tive Virginia, is the last place we. should
expect to see the "spelling reform" break
out. But it has broken.out there with great
virulence, and various members of the State
Educational Association-or, as they de-
scribe themselves, "tichurz in kaunsil -
have fallen victims to it. Their discussion
OF the subject was long and entertaining.
Que learned doctor explained tile advan-
tages OF the new system in series
OF familiar arguments, while another
devoted himself to its practical elu-
cidatioH by writing upon the black
board such sentences as 81 hav bin tn
skull" which suggests that lie probably
had Mr.. Josh Billings for his .chool-master.
Finally it was resolved not exactly to adopt
this fascinating scheme, but to appoint a
committee on the subject; to commend
to all persons interested the adoption Of the
slight changes in spelling suggested by the
American Pathological Association" which
consist mainly in the dropping of silent let
ters, and ':to request the Virginia repre-
sentatiyes in Congress to use their influence
to secure favorable action on the memorial
in behalf OF spelling reform to be presented
to that body" What under the canopy
Congress has 10 do with spelling it is not
easy to imagine. II the "tichurz" had
nemoriaized President Hayes it would
have been different. He is the great re-
former, and is just the man to take UP with
such ridiculous crank, as this.

We were talking about the profanity OF
very disting guished American statesman not
now living. Mr.. Sumner (who never SWore
himself) said: "Well, have heard him
swear severely; but, as rule, nobody
swears in my presence. The greatest NOR
tification ever received in my life in this
way was when was at a breakfast abroad
with Lord Brougham. We sat down at the
break ktast-table, when somebody brought
q newspaper TO Lord Brougham. 1t con-
tanned personal attack upon him.. The
article was marked, and lie read it through.
When he had completed it he be-
gan volley OF the most scathlng
oaths that. ever heard fall from
the lips Of man. There was no limit to the
curses he rained upon the head o! the au-
thor OF this piece. was shocked and
stricken dumb" said Mr.. Sumner. sine
only other occupant OF the table, except
Lord Brougham and myself, was Brough-
am's mother. She sat at the head, opposite
her son, a venerable and courtly lady, with
an elegance and grace OF manner that /
never saw eXcelled. dared not look at her
for some moments, butwhen ] yentured to
turn nv eyes in that direction found not
muscle of her face was moved. She was rs
calmly unconscious Of what her SON had
been saving as il he was talking in Arabic.
The breeze soon blew over, and we bad a
very enjoyable breakfast. ."-BoS!on CORE

.s-q.,ss; d memphis 1svsisnshe:I
Mr. Robert G.. Pillow (son OF the late
General PiIlowb who is now running q
plantation over in Arkansas, and who came
over yesterday to, take look at the Fourth
OF July, had o narrow escape from death
not leng since Accompanied by Aleck,
one of the colored men on the place, he was
out bunting wild hog that had been 10 the
vicinity. Mr.. Pillow had a gun and Aleck
had armed himself with a pint bottle filled
OF whiskcy. The hog was found and
shot, and Just as Mr.. Pillow went up to the
writhing animal an immense eotton-mouth
snake, whose bite is fatal as that OF rattle
snake, fastened his fangs on the calf OF his
leg. ..... 49,. ......
AS his Memphis friends know, Bob is not
easily frightened. He took in the situation
in moment, and instead OF exhibiting
alarm he turned to his companion and
quietly remarked: "Aleck, think Pll try
little OF that whiskey now" whiskey be-
ing considered an infallible remedy. He
poured every drop down his throat without
stopping to venture any remarks as to it's
quality. Then, shouldering his gun, he
rapidly walked to the house, half mile
distant, where he drank the contents Of
three ordinary glass tHmblerS filled with
whiSkeY.
"Of course it stupefed you," chimed in
Memphis friend, to whom he was relating
the facts. "Oi course it didn't" was the
reply. 81 don't know how it happened.

cerned, the stuff had no more Influence than

fails Of perspiration, which rapidly expelled
the poison. and the wound healed and gave
me no trouble. A day or two aiterward,
however, was the sickest boy in Eastern
Arkansas. had swallowed enough to kill
half dozen unsnake. bitten fellows"
Bob's appearance justified the comment
that he had experienced no permanent in

eXhilarating compounds.
The action Of Judge Christian in imposing
$500 Of fines upon tive dealers who were
convicted Of violating the Sunday liquor
law induced the proprietors Of all EXCEPT
two or three saloons to close their doors,

who had not been thoughtful enough to lay
in supplies the night before were caught in
"a bad box" Many OF them, rather than
suffer. went to Manchester. Others found
that "the blockade" could be run az one Oh
two places, and avaiIcd themselves OF the
information eloriOusly. Others avaiIed
themselves OF the privileges OF the Harmony
Club, which has been organized under 4
chatter granted John D. Smelling, Esq, and
associates, by the General Assembly ut its
last session.
The members OF the Singer Association
(and members only were permitted to re-

The members Of the other clubs OF the
city had their liquor as usual, the law moi
