A Needed Pronunciation Manual.

The general interest in pronouncing
English correctly should induce COM
peLeut phiiologian TO compile manual
which will not only Indicate the correct
pronunciation of words, but also the
reasons, if any can be given. Most
people believe there is a standard
prorncation, and that given word
can be pronounced correctly in but one

This belief is not well founded, for his
torical truth is u growth and an approx

not been investigated in all respects,

Sasacity Of a Doc.

A most interesting anecdote has ap-
peared in some of the Belgian papers.
A gentleman residing in Antwerp
wished to get rid of spaniel, and gave
it to an intending emigrant to take
with him TO America. Two months
later the owner of the dog was on the
quay attending to some business there,
when the American steamer arrived. 49,

faithful animal, which he believed thou
sands of miles away, upon perceiving
his master, jump overheard, and, after
a swim of five minutes, scramble up
the steps, and testify with the most in
tense satisfaction his joy at finding him
once more. Tom must either have
hidden himself on board the steamer,
or watched till it was about to sail, in
order to get back to his master, who,
it is hoped, will arr ciate his affection
and sagacity AS they deserve.

Oompacts with Satan.

The last judicial execution in Eng
land for witchcraft took place in l7l6,
when q woman and her little daughter
were hanged at Huntingdon 'for SELL
ing their souls to Satan A good while
since then, however, various cases have
occurred Of women, accused as witches,
being drowned while undergoing the
ordeal of water at the hands Of their
infuriated neighbors. Yet once in q
while our transatlantic cousins speak
pityingy of the New England settlers
who executed some twenty-five persons
as witches, but not one Of them after

THE exnressions of the nress AS well as

THE expressions of the press as well as
of individuals give evidence of much
deeper feeling than usually follows deci-
sions in our courts. But one paper in the
State, the Morning Ne,Us, defends the
verdict and it apparently not from any
decided convictions, while all the others of
the same politics express astonishment
at the verdict or say that the jury before
whom all the facts were placed were better
prepared for judgment than they at
by the evidence One thing is certain,
the public mind was not prepared for the
verdict nor are they willing that any taint
of politics should be mixed up in verdicts
that affect the peace or society. There
has been too much of it in years that are
past; an unfettered reason now calls for
Justice unbiased by shades of political
faith or race prejudices and jury that
thwarts the public judgment for an utter
ior object will miss it every time. II does
not avail anything to say it has been done,
as all know it has. The section and class
prejudices are dying out and with them
should go their follies.
On this subject the Erery Erening and
Gazette have seen proper in a cOmpli-
mentary way to classify the TINES politi-
cally. The TIMES does not assume to
speak for any one but itself and in COM
munity sense for this: it therefore is not
responsible to, or responsible for what
may be the action of any organization Or
the opinion of any other locality. The
Neal and the DR.. West cases are very
much alike; the attorneys In each went
to the extreme of their ability and power
for their clients and used every appliance
at their command without regard to the
interests Of society or effects on politica
organizations.
Smyrna times., 1881-12-14

ApApER of a neighbOring 'O"n III enn
sylvania remarked week or so ago that
" Wilmington had murder trial on hand
as usual There was just enough OF
truth in, the remark to give it point for, for
the past several weeks the Court in that
city has sat almost continuously on capl-
tai cases. The last case is that of Harrl-
gan, an illicit whiskey vender, for shoot
ing Shea, the Jury ON Friday bringing in
a verdict of murder in the first degree.
His counsel raised the plea of insanity in
that he did it while out of his mind from
q fit of mania potu, but it made no i'm
preston in the Court. There was, how
ever, more in his favor than Neal in the
testimony, yet one is set free and the
other to be hung. Such are the uncer-
tainties of law. Shea had been forewarn-
ed by the prisoner from trespassing on his
place or invading the sanctity of his
house, and it was while in fit of jealousy
crazed with strong drink that Harrigar
did the fatal deed. They were worth
less set, but justice should be meeted ou
to all alike.
Smyrna times., 1881-12-14

THE Neal case was not only one of the
the most outrageous but one of the most
costly ones ever brought before our courts.
The exact figures reput down at s., ,917O5,
or in round figures say $4,000. AS large
as this is, it would not be too much as
ransom to save man from an oppressive
judicial or political wrong, but when
sum of such magnitude is added to the
taxes of county to defend a criminal in
an outrage of the most sacred virtues OF
society, 1t amounts to legal or political
crime. which ever it is. And this calls up
the question, why should it have been so
much? Some Of the witnesses were in at
tendance seventeen days. the most of
them at great inconvenience and loss in
their personal business. A gentleman cog
infant of the operations of our courts says
that no firm or individual could do busi-
ness in the manner it is done in our courts
and stand six months. Witnesses were
required to be there day after day from
the extreme end of the county when there
was no earthly prospect they would b'
needed for several days. There was nc
time when they could not have been sum
moned in twenty-four hours by telegraph
and most of this expense saved. Ant
further, the defence was allowed to sum
mon witness after witness who had Mt
positive knowledge Of the facts and wer
never put ON the witness stand. The az

the law: it still bears the medi@yal i'm

We cannot determine by any process of
reasoning from moral or political economy
view what has turned the Morning NetUs
about face on the liquor question and
made it an advocate of the most ex-
treme measures in its favor. We class
intoxicants and tobacco as luxuries which
as such are taxed by all enlightened
governments, and that to by the best ap-
proved theories of the wisest political
economists. The News questions, since
they are used in increasing quantities,
whether they are luxuries, and opposes
the tax because it takes millions out of
the hands of the ''moOnshiners" pockets in
the Southern Statcs ~kcrc it is mostly
manufactured. II Ia.Ac4 wants to raise
the revenue from things we eat and wear,
food. clothing and books for our children
rather than from the outlaws that infest the
mountain regions of the Southern States
The argumentof the NeWs is, because these
people persist in doing wrong the Govern
ment should make it as easy for them as
possible, and if people will in&st in i'm
poverishing and crime-producing habits
why, give them all they want and at a
nominal price. There is already in our
Nation over 10000 more dram shops than
public schools, the former tearing down
character as fast as the latter can build il
up. The NelUs proposes to double, treble
or quadruple the places that tear dowB by
taxing the people that build up. Doe
not significant and appalling picture rise
up before him? He says: "The reason
for desiring the tax to be abolished ar
dhat it takes millions of dollars annual,
