Correct Pronunciation.

At meeting of the Philadelphia
Teachers Institute, Mr.. Jacob 81.
Sides, principal of the Belmont Gram
mar School, was assigned the duty Of
illustrating correct pronunciation by
pronouncing fifteen words. Being al
lowed but five minutes time, the gen.
tleman was only able to struggle with
thirteen words, which are frequently
mispronounced even among those who
have been literally educated. tits char
table to suppose that the errors COM
mitted by this class are the result of
carelessness rather than ignorance.
The words pronounced by Mr.. Sides
we're in this order: Pronunciation,
which should be pronounced as if
spelled pro-nun' she-a-shun; associa-
tom should be pronounced as if the
third syllable were spelled she, instead
of CT, with the accent on the last a.
II was surprised" remarked Mr..
Sides, "to hear the word so universally
mispronounced by the members of the
Teachers National Convention, which
met recently in this city," The word
telegrophy should be pronounced to-
leg-ra-phy, not tel-e-graph-y. SQa1azor,
frequently pronounced squoller,"
should receive the long sound of q, as
in mate-squG-lor. The word vagorv
should be divided into three syllables,
va-ga-ry, with the accent on the a in
the second syllable. In recess the &C
cent falls on the last syllable, and is
pronounced recess. The n In gover7a-
me'at is too often omitted, as the
word is pronounced ga1v-ern-ment.
E'aerVate is pronounced e-11er-vate, not
en-er-vate. I11dispUtGble is pro-
nounced both in-dis.pu-ta-ble and in
dis:pW-ta-ble, but the former mode of
pronunciation is the correct one. The
word isolate should be pronounced IT,
o.late (the a as in mattel J, not i.so.late.
Allopathy is pronounced al-lop-a-thy,
not al-lo-path-y. Rise, when a noun,
pronounced "rice," but when O verb is
pronounced rice. The last word re-
ferred to by the expositor OF correct
pronunciation was laugh which created
considerable merriment, so much so
that the listeners LATED and they loffed
and they larfed, when the proper thing
for them to have done was to have
struck the sound of a as in far, and
they would have been just right

Moorish Beauty,

The prevalent leanness of limbs which
characterizes the Moorish race (col-
lectively) has, peradventure, led them
to consider that loneliness and embom-
point are identical. Feminine beauty
in Morocco, far from being merely skin
deep, Is measured by the camel-lQad;
and, tat being more esteemed than feat
ures, the homeliest damsel of twenty
stone is more admired than one hundred
weight of what would seem, to the eye
OF Europe, perfect prettiness. As wives,
therefore, are valued, like whales, for
their blubber, the Moorish belle seeks
from diet the charm denied to her by
nature. Taking as her model the Hot
tentot Venus, Fatima undergoes, especi-
ally during betrothal, process of cram
ming very similar to the mode of fatten-
ing Strasbourg geese. After every meal
she molds with her fingers the crumb
OF new bread-sonetimes mixed with
fenugreek-into pellets Called har-
rabe) of the shape and size Of Eley's
No. IL central-fre cartridges. This
ammunition is rammed down her gullet
with the aid of green tea or other beyer-
ages, and by stuffng down from fifty to
100 of these boluses daily for about a
month the fair martyr to Moorish ma
terialism acquires breadth of body
and mammoth-like massiveness of
limbs which render locomotion a vanity,
and getting upstairs a vexation OF
spirit. With irrepressible mirth I have
watched Jewish natron Give feet by
four feeD making the ascent to the up
per story of her house, propelled tergo
by three perspiring Israeites- Beneath
her elephantine tread earth trembled,
ceilings creaked, and chairs not ex-
pressly manufactured to sustain her

a Real Spanish Hacienda Existing in the
United States.

From the San Francisco Bulletin
a few miles from Phoenix is a Mormon
settlement, and the inhabitants thereof
are carrying out an excellent system of
agriculture. They have a very superior
body Of land under cultivation, have
erected substantial homes and carry on
the dairy business with success. Twelve
miles from Phoenix is what is known as
Hayden's Ferry Here is a farm, owned
by my old friend Hayden, that would
make the eye Of any California farmer
water. There is no prettier place any
where. The farm is situated on a bluff
at least forty feet above the crossing of
the river. Then there is level tract Of
land, as far as the eye can reach in all d.
rectlons, divided into grain, corn and al
falfa fields, with great swelling water
bitches upon all sides. The dwelling is a
sort OF manor house, with accommoda-
lions for any and all friends of the hos
pitable proprietor who may happen along;
with the latch-string always upon the
outside with a yard of great dimensions,
dotted here and there with pyramids of
corn, pumpkins, -four and other evidences
of good cheer. Added to all this is big
wholesale and retail store adjoining, and
a Touring mill in constant operation a
few feet away. The whole place reminds
one of the real hacienda as they exist in
Mexico and the Spanish countries.
