Concerning the Letter "R.'
James Lecsy, in st. jane, oazette.l

Il
(Janes Lecky, in st. James Cazette.l
10 what extent the consonant ''r" has
been lost in actual speech is AN import
ant question Of English philology. II
has been investigated by several observ.
ers. among whom Mr.. Ellis, Of the Phi
lological Society, holds a distinguished
place. Their researches have exploded
the common notion that this sin OF onis.
sion besets none but Londoners. 1t pre-.
walls throughout the whole east coast OF
England, and most Of all among the cul.
tivated classes Of society. AS regards
American habits of speech, we have sim.
liar testimony from Professor Whitney.
'In my natural and unregenerate state
(he says)-namely, before | had begun
to school my utterance to conformity
with photographed aud orthepical rules
= never pronounced at all an that
was not followed by vowel; fear that
l hardly do so now, except when / am
thinking OF it. And / have
taught French and German pronuncia-
tion enough, from all parts Of the coun-
try, to be convinced that this absence of
utterance and Of trill when uttered is a
very general Characteristic Of American
pronunciation. What Professor Whit
ney says here is in perfect conformity
with the practice OF American poets,
even OF the rank Of Poe, Whittier and
Longfellow, who rhyme vista" and
sister," or ''morn" and lawn, with
out renorse.
'Those who, like myself, always pro-
nounce an even in iron, can only utter
an unavailing protest against this pro-
cess Of decay, which has COMPOUNDED
father with farther. stalk with stork,
Leah with Lear, etc. The rising gener-
alton are satisfied. no doubt, with their
own dialect, and treat our disapproval
with indifference"

he murmured in low, book beer tones.
'But demand an answer" exclaimed
the girl, passionately, ''and again ask
you if you ever loved another.

"Who was its" she asks, her cheeks

mocking laugh, fees into the darkness.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, June l3 -Publi-
cation is made here to-day Of the arrest
on Monday afternoon at Columbus,
Ohio, Of William Durby, a negro,
charged with the murder OF the Gibbons
children at Ashland, KY, on December
oath, 1881. Fannie and Robbie Glib
bons and Emma Carico were found in
the burning house. The girls had been
outraged and three men were
arrested. These were George Ellis,
William Neal and Ellis Craft. Ellis
made confession upon which he was
convicted and sentenced to hang, but
was hung by a mob. Neal and Craft
were also sentenced to hang and now
await the decision of the Governor as to
the day Of execution. The arrest of
Durby was made upon circumstantial
evidence which, it is claimed. clearly
duplicates him and two other colored
men named Dabney Jones and Reuben
Kendall, warrants for whose arrest are
now out.
