How to Pronounce Miss Maud
Muller.
New York Tribune.


There are very few who have not
been puzzled how to pronounce some
out of the way word which has sud
denly sprung into common use. A
bewildered reader writes to the Bos
ton Herald saying that the pronunoia
tiOn Of Whittier's Maud Muller" has
long been such puzzle to him.
When | was little fellow" he says,
81 pronounced it phonetically, of
course, Muller. Well, shortly after
| heard literary gentleman-a Judge,
tOo-read the poem at an evening
gathering, and | snoticed particularly
he pronounced it Muller. | made a
note Of it and carried that pronun-
citation with confidence for a long
time, until one day in high school
the teacher informed US that the
proper pronunciation Of that name
was 'Mwe.ler.' So l changed my
colors again and sailed under Mweler
for quite a while, until one day | got
into conversation with a young ply
tician, a good German student. oh,
yes, said he, 1 can tell you how to
pronounce that namel Whenever you
see a German word with two dots
ever the letter u, it is always pro
nounced as if Immediately followed
by an r, thus:
Murl-er, Maud Murler.' By this
time had lost all confidence in
every one, and decided to let the
young severely alone, but the other
day | happened to run across a Ger
man fresh from the old country, and |
said: DO you have any people over
in your land called Muller-M-u-l-
l.er?' oh, yes, plenty well,
what do you call them-how do you
pronounce it2' Miller, said he. It's
a very common name-Miller.' |
thanked him and left, and now if
there is another way in which that
word can be pronounced | should like
to hear it. / am honestly seeking for
information,

ONE Of the cheap election tricks to-
day is to propose to swap Hawkins
vote for one in favor Of Judge William
NJ. Smith. That is, a Republican will
generously propose to vote for General
Bate il some gudgeOn can be found to
vote for Smith 10 return. Any one
30 foolish as to accept this proposition
would simply give the Republican
candidate vote for nothing Bate is
not in peril, He will be elected any
how, even if every vote In Shelby
county is asst against him.

be largely reduced. There is much
division of sentiment out that way.
In the Thirteenth Civil District,
where's a heavy Colored vote is always
cast, the Republicans be likely to
show largely reduced vote.
In the Eighth ward, opposite the
Poplar street market, the result is
mixed. The workingmen's ticket is
polling a liberal vote. The working
men there are voting for Bate quite
strong. The vote at noon numbered
$40, and it is very much mixed.
In the Fourteenth civil district,
back of Elmwood Cemetery, a few
colored votes have been cast for the
Bate ticket, but the Republicans are
getting the majority there.

A Montana newspaper is authority
for the statement that in the Yellow

itation in saying that however this
wonderful gorge may have been needed

present q misplaced blessing. 1t
should be cut up into sections and
sent East at once, A large piece OF it
might be left in Ohio to silence Re
publican lying about the results Of the
recent election, and another section
might be switched of somewhere in
Pennsylvania, where a great deal Of
hypooFitioal talk is being imposed by
the clan Cameron on an unofending
people; but the greater portion, after
piece of proper size has been sent
down to Secretary Folger, should be
distributed over the State of New

is Of such Q nature that every one
wishes it might remain unsaid, We

THE ELECTION
Progressing Quietly---rhe Dem
OcrOtS Doing Splendid
Work.

From the political looph0les at noon
to-day, the battlefield presented a
rather dusky appearance, as the field
was almost entirely occupied by col
Ored people, but at that hour several
houses were about to close, in order
to permit master and man to 20 to the
polls and vote. There is probably no
doubt that General Bate will receive
handsome majority aud Col. Young
will poll good majority The balance
Of the ticket was getting along nicely,
with many good prospects of
success. The Workingmen are not
in the race, and the sky blues
were more than the name implies.
The colored workingmen have all de-
serted to the Republican camp, though
their white brothers are work
ing earnestly for their ticket and vo-
ting it straight with one notable ex-
ception-they are for Bate.
To particularize the outlook in the
first ward was in favor Of the Demo
Gratis. There were no workers for the
wOrkingmen or sky. blues at the polls,
and very few votes Of either kind we're
cast. The fight was strictly between
Democrats and Republicans with
about four 10 one in favor OF the
former. One hundred aud fifty. nine
votes had been cast. The usual vote is
1000.
In the Third ward the workingmen
were hard at work, the colored end
for the Republican ticket and the
whites for their own flag. About $50
votes had been cast. The strength
Of the ward is about 1000 votes.
In the Fourth ward all the scratch.
ers seemed to have concentrated. The
Democrats were voting the straight
ticket, with the exception of Colonel
Young, who had his name penciled off
in a good many instances. The Dem
ocrats were considerably behid on
account of the action Of the working
men, which was much the same in the
Third ward. The ward votes about
$50, of which $50 had been polled at
noon.
In the Sixth ward only FIVE sky
blue tickets had been cast at twelve
o'clock out of total of 1873. The
workingmen were at work here too
but not with so much success. The
Democrats are sure of fair majority
Bate is the choice of Governor. The
ward votes about 600.
The Seventh ward will be very
close. Of about 100 votes cast at
noon it was estimated that 20 were
Democrats, 40 Republican, % work
i1gmen and 5 sky blue.
In the Tenth ward the Democrats
we're hopeful of success, though the
Republicans claimed to be ahead.
About 800 votes had been cast At
noon, nearly all Democratic aud Re
publican.
In the Fifth ward the vote shows
great division ofsentiment and both
sides claim to have made made in
roads upon former results.
The Second ward is nearly all for
Bate.
In the Fourth ward $50 votes had
been cast at noon, all for Bate and the
regular Democracy except about so
votes.

An Erie telephone operator was

filed with sheets of flame. The oper-
ator was turned completely around by

was sick for an hour.

The region on the west side of the
Mississippi, between Vicksburg and the
Gull, gives a good idea of the Egypt
through which the British will have to
operate from Alexandria. 1t has the
same feature of an annual rise of the
river above all the country, which there
begins in July, reaches its height in
the latter part of August, and subsidies
through the autumn months. 1t has
the same features of banks of the main
river and of all the branching streams
higher than the country, with the addi.
ton of canals, and of more complete
banks, so as to flood the lands at will.
All these may be made the means of
obstruction and defence.
