Our correspond 1 ents very generally write in Home Journa style, and they seem to feel called upon tc apologize if they fail to do so. The only written protest against our rules that we have ever received came from the State of Texas So far as we know, they have not caused uG the loss of single subscriber.

 Ellis says that good scientific phonetic language would save F per cent. of the letters now used but that would probably be more phonetic than the average of people would bear. It is estimated that per cent. may be saved by simply dropping all useless ''ss." The lndspsndsnt is publishing series Of articles in brief spelling, but they use also a new kind of types that they call ''transition types" For instance, they have a hybrid letter between and a g, which takes the place of g in words where that letter has the j sound, and this letter is intended to serve as bridge to take the public over from the to the j. The most violent and blgot- ed opposition to spelling reform is natu- rally to be apprehended from the spelling bees. Words like 'sphthisic' and "phlegm, " which are the very foundation stones of these organizations, conspicuously invite the tapping pen or the reformer and their Orthography will be defended to the last.
 The telephone requires clear-cut pronun- ciation as yet above the ordinary attainment but the little instrument is good disciplina- rian, and under it's tuition we are improving rapidly.

 The peculiar transfgured appearance about Beecher's head, alluded to by the press lately, must be the effect of the striking contrast be- tween his ruby face and his thin slyery hair, which becomes sort of halo, like the light flame that plays above a glowing coal. Bar ring the halo, Beecher Is still very substan- tial saint.

CORRESPONDENCE.

A Letter From New YOrk-PrOgress of the spelling Ieforrl-The Telephone Rcecher,s Head-sPeisOned Cheese.''
 NEW YORK, March 19. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Several newspapers in the country are preaching and practising various innovs- tions upon the orthodox orthography, after systems of their own. The Home Journal of this city is in the van of these bold pioneers of spelling reform, and probably is the most advanced. Six months ago it adopted it's thew rules in spelling and has so far faith fully lived up to them in it's columns. The general scope of these rules may be inferred from spelling the words synagogue, opposite, rosette, programme, photograph, la Home Journal, viz, synagog, opposit, reset, pro- gram, fotograf. No change is made in prop CT names.

The VyhangdOOdIe of Texas. rFrom the San Antonio Herald.l

From Wilson county he came; his name is l L. A. Edmondson. Edmondson stands, in his socks, over six feet tall He is bearded 'like 1 8 pard," and was dressed in leather pants When he entered saloon on the military plaza yesterday afternoon his boots sounded on the floor like the thumping of a pair of pile drivers; when he shook his leonine head his long hair twisted about like black snakes. ''Give me some beer, " he roared, ''I am dry! Give me three-gallon bucket, full to
 the brim and no foam am dry! I was weaned on herring brine and don't eat nothing
 now but mush made of gunpowder and fish salt !"
 The barkeeper filled a quart glass-the deepest vessel in the house-and this was re- peated four times. Each glass the thirsty
 man emptied at gulp at the fourth he said, tsWait minnit." Just then small man en- tered and Edmondson, taking the small man up as if he was baby, said, 'Give hit beer, hits dry"
 The little man was supplied, restored to his feet and shrank away from the giant, glanclDg back from a corner like mouse looking at 8 Newfoundland dog.
 Once more the wild man opened his mouth and it presented the appearance of cave opening, overgrown with sumac, Tn autumn. sI am the man that ketched wild mustang by the tail and hilt him till his chine come all the way to his ears can lick double deck hog car full of partners, with nothing but 8 corn-cutter to fight with. and I can

Senator Herman, who is an intimate friend of Horatio Seymour, is reported as saying :: ''Mr. Seymour is not candidate. Hsnsither seeks nor desires the Presidential nomination. He regrets extremely that his name should
 continue to be associated with the Presidency.
 Nothing would please him more than to see
 the party unite upon some one of the many
 excellent gentlemen who aspire to the posi-
 tion. But yet, if the Democracy should be
 unable to combine upon any other man than
 Mr. Seymour, and should thrust the nomina- tion upon him, as was the case in 1868. am at loss to conceive how he could escape from yielding to the wishes of his party" Eman- ating from such source, Senator Kernan's observation is regarded as significant.
 The controversy in the House over the clause of the Deficiency appropriation bill providing for the pay of special deputy mar shals, which has resulted in a compromise by which the Democrats have yielded their oppo- sition to the principle Of the Election laws, while the Republicans have consented to the modification of the conditions of the laws, in- volyed the chief issue of the extra session. Neither the Republicans or Democrats are en- thusiastic over the result both being, con scious that they have retreated from the posi- tions previously maintained. The law 1t passed the House provides that the special deputies shall be appointed by the circuit or district judges, and shall be equally divided politically it leaves their number unlimited, and fixes their pay 8. $5 day each, in full for all services. This insures the efficient ex- ecution of the Election laws, and it removes the only objection which could fairly be brought against them, namely, that they were capable of partisan abuse It will probably pass the Senate, and then the great fight will be over.
