ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

EprroRs HERALD-The establishment
of universal language has been con-
tinually for years past the theme Of
savants. In my humble judgment this
is an undertaking far above human en-
deavor; for, in order to obtain such an
object, it would be necessary to overcome
obstacles OF colossal magnitude. First,
it would be essential for all governments
to pledge themselves to teach the chosen
language within their respective juris-
dictions, and as is clearly understood, !,
the difficulties would begin with the se-
lection OF q language; then, too, there
are countries whose spirit of tradition
would interfere with the adoption Of the
new tongue. 1 refer principally to the
lands of the Orient. l cannot be &C.
cused of exaggeration. This spirit OF
tradition greatly retards innvo-
walton in cultured countries.
Even in Europe herself we see proofs
Of It. Take, for example, Germany,
where the desire of men influential in
political and literary circles to substitute

day the beautiful idea should be realized.
After reading the opinions of La Re
publica of San Francisco, the New York
Herald and The Times. Democrat of New
Orleans, we can assert that the said Cas-
tilian language is not only very beauti-
full but possesses the advantage of being
easily learned. In no other language
can one learn to read we'll in so short a
time as in the Spanish. After many
years of practice as Professor of said
language, confidently assert that any one
devoting himself to the study of Castilian
can learn to read and spell it correctly
in one month, or in less time. Conse-
quently, if one can 30 readily read a lam
guage, surely there should be no difficult
ty in speaking it in comparatively short
time, unless one is very deficient in
memory.
We all understand that the idea OF
uniting nations in brotherhood by means
of language is a subject of the greatest
Importance, and that future generations
may by this method attain results of in
estimable value; but at the same time
we foresee the impediments that may
interfere, as well as the means to over
come them in time. Let the German,
French, Spanish and English Govern
ments unanimously agree to abolish the
teaching of Latin and Greek in the uni
versities and adopt the Castilian Ian
guage instead. Do likewise in the public
schools, and shortly very large number
of persons may possess a knowledge OF
said language, or may be the germ Of the
establishing of universal language,
which, even though said nations may
not speak it familiarly, would yet be en-
abled to transact private business, as
we'll as official The proposition to sup
press Greek and Latin will be regarded
unfavorably by many, and not few will
denounce It as absurd but those who

Sometimes fails of its murderous intent.
The insidious and dastardly attacks
made upon the reputation OF Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters by persons who seek to
palm off cheap and fiery tonics as iden-
teal with it, or ''the same thing under
another name." Or equally as good, -
in most instances react disastrously upon
the unprincipled traders upon popular
credulity who attempt them, converting
their speculations into ruinous failures.
The Bitters is a pure, wholesome and
thorough medicine, adapted to the total
cure and prevention of fever and ague,
bilious remittent, dyspepsia, constipa-
ton, billiousness, debility, nervousness
and kidney troubles. Its every ingre-
dent, unlike those IN the limitations OF
it, is of an ascertained standard of ex-
cellence, and while they, by reason of
their fiery properties, react injuriously
upon the brain and nervous system, of
both those organs it IS sedative and
invigorant. Refuse all these harmful
limitations.
