could all be avoided by leaving out
those letters which are silent and using
no symbols except those that represent
the exact sound made by the voice
when the word Is uttered.
Our language has too many silent
letters. Look at the words receipt
and ohthisic. Many other words
could be given, but these two are
sufficient for example. Out Of the first
word should be taken the Z, p and o.
The p and {, In that word are silent,
and as for c, IL has no sound Of its own.
In phonetic spelling there 70 no Q.
Now that word ohthisic: I zee no

Voltaire, when told that a-g-u-e spelt

That an individual has as much right

Some may think that there are not

they do not know what they are.
Now the forty-three sounds really

sound synthetically, but many could

OUR Johnuy's Compositions.

Once there was q man that had q
boy-or perhaps the man and his
family they had q boy. Aud the
man thought the boy had . genius
for musical fackelty.
The way he come to the conclusion
was, because the boy allW ays said
"ya! va! va" when pin was a-stick-
ing into him, or when he had the collie,
or when his oldest sister was actin the
fool.
So he bought the boy q tin rattle
without regard to expense, and before
that boy was 13 years old, he could
play "Hark from the Toombs" on that
little scent investment, just as well as
a prophets dream.
Then he got the little boy drum.
It was right good drum, and the
boys parent expected to get heap of
comfort out of its music. The boy
learned to get nice lot of noise out Of
the drum, but it didn't seem to have
the fiuctuating qualities in it that a
rattle had, and SO he only learned to
play some little waltz tunes on it that
didn't amount TO much. Especially a.
his father didn't believe in dancing
them ground dances.
Then when he got to be about 80
years old he got down on his little
knees and begged his father for horn.
And he didn't care how big 1t was.
So his father went out to the music
shops and the tin-shops and the
plumbers and he looked at horns and
priced them. The tin-shops was the
cheapest and the plumbers was the
dearest. So he brought the boy a
harmonichorn at music store.
The boy learned to pay Home,
Sweet Home" on it so we'll that his
mother cried and couldn't rest till she
got the money from the old man
to 60 and pay visit to her own dear
mother.
Then his father he thought he would
like to see his uncle's uncle out i'm Col
orado, and he went off and left the boy
with the cook.
Then the cook she thought she was
getting more wages and perkisites than
she deserved, and she went and hired
herself to another place for q lower
salary.
Then the boy he subsisted along on
roots and berries for a few weeks and
found he couldn't stand 1t and 80 he
laid down and died.
When his parents came home, one
by one, they found him in his little
bed with his harmonichorn in his little
hand.
He had to be buried quick.

The African Methodist Episcopal con-
ference, which met at St. Leuis week
before last, was very sensible in one
thing. The secretary of the board of
missions, one Kahn, had been devoting
himself too much to politics to the
neglect of his clerical duties, and the
conference accordingly passed a resolu-
ton relieving him from duty, so that
he would be able to devote his atten-
ton more thoroughly to that branch Of
y-politics-which he seemed to
prefer.

The subcommittee on the PROPOSE
ton to extend the Texas Pacific land
grant have prepared an advance re-
port. The report was drawn up by
Hon E. J. Ellis. of Louisiana. 1t
holds that the grant should not be
extended because, first, the company
has not built any part Of its road In
California or Arizona in which the
land grant is situated, although the
charter provided that construction
should begin simultaneously at San
Diego, California, and Marshall. Texas;
moreover, very substantial aid has
been received from the State Of Texas,
in which construction has been done.
Second, another Southern Pacific road
has been constructed directly through
the land grant of the Texas Pacific
without Government aid, but entirely
at the public expense, and it would be
unjust to that company for the Gov
ernment to subsidize a competitive
road. Third, the request Of the COM
pany shows that it will not be ready
to complete the road for ten years
to come, and it would be unwise
and unpolitic to shut out actual
settlers from the $4,000, 900 acres Of
land involved in the grant in ques-
ton.

and the Cincinnati Commercial, which
has been q strong supporter of Sher-

controversy inside the Republican
ranks in Pennsylvania and New York

The Atlanta Constitution thinks that
there is bright outlook for our cotton
planters in the almost complete failure
of the cotton crop in China. China is a
long way off, but an accident like this
always affects the prices of cotton in
European markets. The Chinse re quire
several million bales of cotton for home
use every year. If the home crop fails
they make up the deficiency from In
dia, and the Indian export to England
falls of, and American cotton, as con-
sequence, goes up in price.

The Spontaneous Uprising for
Grant.

tH. Y. Sun.
With splintered tongue, and linchpin gones
The third-term coach is shaky now;
But pull 1t through, and drive it on,
And never mind the why or howl
The party's getting wide awake,
And wakeful are the people, too;
But shut your eyes for Grants dear sake,
And drive him on, and pull him through
The nomination is the thing
When that is gained, the work is done;
Then let the third term have Its swing,
And pull it through, and drive it on!
Though comes the deluge then at last,
Stout Senators, what's that t. you,
If but the third term die is cast2
So drive it on, AMI pull it through.
Fear not the Independent vote
There's much that fraud and force may do;
Bail out and patch the leaky boat,
And drive 1t on, and pull it through
The third-term issue must be made
Some cause or other must be won;
The pol cy of trick and trad e
Must pull it through and drive It on.
Though hearts are cold, and votes are scant,
The rogues and ringsters still are true;
So bang the empty drums for Grant,
And drive him on, and pull him through

The Chicago Times estimate of the
boiling Republican delegates in New
York and Pennsylvania is probably q
correct one. If these delegates can be
convinced by Conkling and Cameron
that Grant is very strong candidate
and likely to secure the nomination,
they will obey the instructions of the
State conventions and vote for him; if,
however, they believe him weak and
likely to be beaten, they will immedi-
ately become aware of their duty to their
constituents, and vote for Blaine or some
other man.

believe that the expose of the Mulligan
letters would lose Blrine a single Re-
publican vote; nor did he believe, for
that matter, that all the scandals sur
ronding Grants administration would
hurt MIN with the Republican voters.
He Grow was opposed to Grant, and
did not believe that he could poll the
full vote of the party on account of thu
popular prejudice against third term;
but, as far as corruption, whisky rings.

win single Republican voter from the
polls. Such is Mr.. Crows opinion Of

WHAT GARCELoN REFUSED.

A few days ago, in the interest
of peace in the State of Maine,
Hon. Lot M. Morrill, submitted a
proposition to Gov. Garcelon to the
effect that the questions raised in
the recent election be submitted to
the Supreme Court for settlement.
The Governor replied, and init
mated that he would do SO, and
asked Mr.. Morrill, to make memo~
randum of the questions, upon
which the opinion Of the highest
legal authority in the State was
sought. He submitted the follow
ing, as questions for the Court:
Flrst-It is the duty of the Covers
nor and Council in canvaseing the re-
turns for Senators aud Representatives
to the Legislature to allow corrections
therein by the record upd er the Con-
stilution ard laws of the State aud TO

tend? If not their duty, have they
then the right or power to allow such
corrections at their option ?

SOME friend sends US copy of
the Albany Evening Journal, from
which we extract the following:
"Tennesee seems to have experienced
a change of heart in regard to her
finances, while Virginia bids fair TO
proceed from bad to worse in regard
10 hers. Tennessee has just shown
disposition to pay her debts dollar for
dollar. Virginia, on the contrary, I'M
less wrongly reported, il joining ner-
self more closely to the idol of repu-
dia ion every day.
1.-THE Republican members of the
Tennessee Legislature held caucus q
few days since at which a resolution
WAS adopted, setting forth that the
STATE debt was 3 paramount Issue and
condemning Reputation. This is
q step in the right direction
and Republicans everywhere will
honor our party friends in
Tennessee for taking it. We earnest
~ trust that they will adhere 10 the
righteous policy they bavo adopted
aud will fight it out on that line,
They have arrayed themselves on the
side of honesty and the preservation
of the public credit and in the long run
are as sure as fate to be approved by the
people of the State. Tennessee de-
sires, like the rest of her sister states
to go on prospecting and to prosper in
the future. But the rule of the repu-
| diators and the temporizers is as fatal
to her aspirations as the Colorado
beetle to the health of potato crop
Let the Tennessee Republ cans stand
| firm.
We wish there were a better
foundation for the complimentary
hypothesis contained in the first par.
agraph above quoted. We have
confidence that Tennessee will come
out all right in the end, but it is
not based upon present appear
ances. The compliment paid the
Republicans, however, is well
grounded and we'll merited. Thu
Republican party of Tennessee
will take no steps backward.
