ginner and the scholar more advanced in
years.
At the outset he spoke OF the difficulty
of mastering the subject as an art, but
thought that medium diction was at the
command of every industrious and honest
student.
He illustrated his many points by little
anecdotes, which made his remarks both
pleasing and instructive.
He noted the vast differences between
the English and Latin and Greek Ian
guages, and stated that while the latter
two were constructed upward from aagram-
mar, the former neeessitated an intimate
acquaintance with the use of words before
the grammar could be comprehended. The
dead languages were those of infection,
the termination of different words denoting
their case and class The same statement
could not be made with regard to the Eng
1ish language, which possessed no such
characteristic distinctions.
He next compared the English with the
German and French, and concluded that a
marked difference was that the latter revel-
ed in repetition of the same word, while
the former abhored such tautology.
In carrying out his latter theory he
thought that fuency of speech could best
be accomplished by large vocabulary, and
to accomplish this result he favored invest

By such association of words of SINH

soon become fluent conversationists if not
public takers.

thing to possess, and it's communication to
others by means of language would speed

In concluding his remarks he returned
his thanks to the audience and the mem

kindness and courtesy to him during his

A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating, should
bear in mind that the dear little inmates
of her house are more precious than many
houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regulat-
ing the stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring malaria
and miasrna, and she must know that there
is nothing that will do it so perfectly and
surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best
of medicines. See other column.

JUSTICE AT LAST?

The public were far in advance of the
medical profession in recognizing Hale's
Honey of Horehound and Tar as specific
for consumption, coughs and colds; but at
last the Faculty are doing justice to the
great antagonist and conqueror of pulmo-
nary diseases. The country druggists gen
orally report that the local physicians are
presiding it in preference to all the old
pulmonics, and that the result is an i'm

TIE RACES.

The severe rain storm which visited this
section yesterday morning, continued dur
ing the afternoon, and for the second time,
necessitated postponement of the races
which had heen announced to occurr at
the Fair Grounds at o'clock.
The clouds had a threatening appearance
during the early morning. 1t was hoped
that they would pass over without deluging
this locality. The hope of such termina-
ton was based on the chilly atmosphere
which prevailed Such however did not
prove to be the case as about II o'clock,
the rain commenced to fall. The rain
continued without cessation during the
entire afternoon and did not abate until
early in the evening.
The rain soon caused the officers OF the
Tri-City Trotting Association to decide
upon another postponement, as the only
race that could have taken place yesterday
at Fair Grounds would have been of a
nautical character.
The officers visited the different horse
owners and obtained assurances from them
that their other engagements would not
conflict in case the races arranged for yes
terday were given this afternoon. That
course was therefore decided upon, and
the programme for today. the weather
permitting, will be: Trotting 2:31 class
with purse of $500; trotting 2:3S class,
purse of $500; running, mile and repeat,
2 in 8, 500.
The entries for these three races are as.
