II is said that the invention Of writ

since the art of writing has become an
almost universal accomplishment, tho
faculty Of memory, being less needed,
Is less cultivated. Long after tho in
ventiOn Of letters our fOrclathcr5 rested
much upon oral tradition. Antiquari-
ans assert that one Of the ancient
races Of Italy possessed no written
language, and even whore written
characters were ia use, oral tradition
formed an important supplement %
them. Folk lore' tales and ballads
have been handed down from lip 10
lip for ccutdric5 with curious fidelity.
A writer Of somo thirty years ago
mentions that one Of IIcrrick's finest
devotional pieces, his "Litany,' was
repeated rcrbdtim bya poor old woman,

The old woman had never seen tho

them, had come down on the lips Of

two centuries, aud the ten verses
Of the hymn were a5 accurately

The Philadelphia detectives have built up an
elaborate theory that Frank b Gowen did not
commit suicide but was murdered, because he
never carried pistol and because his hair was
not singed and the skin biackened, as would
have been the case had he held the pistol in
his own hand so near his head. This theory
has been exploded now by the discovery of the
fact that he bought pistol in this city on Fri
day, that his right hand was covered with
blood and that the door and windows Of his
room we're found fastened on the inside, show.
ing that no assassin could have got away.
