Philosophers have frequently specu-
lated as to the possibility Of inventing
a universal language and of securing
its adoption. The great Leibnitz,
whose genius left few subjects I'M
touched, devoted himself with especial
energy to the work and came as near
as any one has ever come toward con
structing complete scheme. But in
practice it has been found that Ian
guages grow and are not made, and
that it is almost impossible for even an
influential writer to secure popular ac-
ceptance for a newly coined word,
much less for an entire dictionary. At
present the probability seems to favor
the ultimate acceptance Of English as
the worlds language, because English
is now spoken by more persons than

A 500 bank note is taken, and by some

of making it expensive fer the peo-

l say unfortunate, Mr.. Editor. for it is only
such hold that have any claim upon our
charity. The man or woman in this coun.
try is able to work, and wont work, ought
to starve-and the sooner starvations puts
An end to them, the better for the public.
We hear q great deal said Of late about
people having no work-why is this What
excuse "a there for it When there are 90
many broad acres all over this land only
waiting to be cultivated. I 60 to town
very often and see many Of my own race,
and white people too, standing abont Oh
the street doing nothing. How do they
live? Everybody knows that they have to
eat And if they do no work to bring in
supplies. where do they get it q? The in.
ference Is (and there can be no other) they
6lch it; or live by sponeing upon their
good natured neighbors. Now. say. peo.
pie do wrong in helping any such charac-

do we'll to follow the example Of bees, and
have q rule, at stated time. that all drones
and idlers shall be put to death. A great
economist, Matthews, think it was, once
advocated this in England, and have half
notion that he was right.
A lazy, idle, thriftless man or woman is
a pest to society. and society ought to get
rid Of them. They are thieves. stealing
that which is not theirs-beggars eating
that which they have not earned--drones
wasting the fruits Of Others industry-in.
truders in the busy walk of life-they are
in the way, and an annoyance to busy men.
With idle hands and idle brains they are
handy workshops for the Devil to tinker
in-no good can be expected of them-in
short, they are q nuisance to the world, and
ought to oe abated for the public good.
No items of news worth mentioning, ex-
cept that the public schools taught by John
G.. and Daniel F. Bone closed on the 18th

work on the part of both these young men
as teachers. Our people are doing oil they
