Some of It's Fallacies Pointed out by u Lon
don Magazine Writer.
We need not go to the length Of the
fanatics Of phoneticism (who would
spell wife Af knee nee, and write eye in
the same manner as the personal pro-
noun y to desire change in the SPELL
ing of many English words which are
stumbling block to foreigners as we'll as
to natives. The instances Of plough"
though" enough" borough"
''cough," dough-" ought" in which
seven words the letters ought to have
seven different sounds, are more than
sufficient to prove that reformation in
spelling is highly desirable, and that
plough ought to be writted and print
ed plo,o; through, thru, or trroo;;
enough, enuf;; borough, 6urror, or 6urro;
cough. caacf; dough, doe; ought, auh or
0rt with the quiescent. In like man
ner the verb ITO do ought to be written
Ito du" ought not to be written ITO doe,"
and the past tense Of Ito read" ought
not to be spelled in exactly the same
manner as the present tense Of the same
verb; but did read pronounced redd)
should be written phonetically; and I
did eat pronounced l ett, or ate) should
follow the same rule. Why the double
Ishould necessarily be employed in the
words spell, we'll, bell, smell, fell and
many others, while one ! is considered
sufficient in rebel, propel, excel, repel,
expel, ETC., Is not apparent to ordinary
intelligence, or explicable by any philo-
logical and genealogical reasons.
Why English writer's, takers and
printers should persist in ignoring tho
past lenses Of so many verbs in daily use
passes comprehension, SO needless and
SO anamalous is the lazy and incorrect
habit into which some good writer's as
we'll as some OF the vulgar have permit
ted themselves to fall. ~ bid him to do
1t n0ac' is correct, but 81 bid him to do 1t
yesterday," in which the present tense is
used instead of bade, in the past, is an
indefensible corruption. Among the
verbs which have been deprived of their
past lenses and their preterites may be
specified to bet, to beat, to let, to spread,
to shed, to cut, to put and to shut. There
are no grammatical or any other reasons
why they should not have been among
the verbs which have infections in other
languages, but never had in English,
though they ought to have had II intel
ligent grammarians had had the orig
inal ordering of the language. Can
and "must" have not even the infinite
"to can" and ''to must" "Can has Q
past tense ('could'o but no future
which can only be rendered by the para
phrase ~ shall be able" or 1T will bt
in my power" Must has neither &
past nor future-''I must do it to-day
has to be put in the past tense by the
roundabout locution, II was obliged t.
do it," or ''It was necessary that
should do it," while the future Of the
verb Jalloir, which is the corresponding
case in the more precise language of thu
French, is IL faut, being IL taudra in thu
future, is in English only to be express
ed by q paraphrase, expressive both o
compulsion and obligation in futurity

The Horton Case.

The evidence on the part of the
prosecution in the Horton case, now
on trial in st. Paul. was closed last
Saturday afternoon, The points es.
tablished are summed UP by the
Minneapolis Tribune as follows:
Horizons wife, before marriage,
was a domestic, and was % years old
when he married her. Horton was II
years old. He deserted her in 1882
on a claim in Dakota, leaving her in
destitute circumstances. They re-
united again one year afterwards. He
deserted her again in 1886, saying that
he would not live with her again, but
did on one or two occasions.
At one time in the early part of 1890
he visited her, remaining over night.
At this time he charged her with
adultery and tried to force her to adj
nit it, which she refused to do. After
this he did not see her or correspond
with her until July Is, 1890, when he
sent her a telegram and wrote letters
asking her to meet him at Winona.
He failed to keep this appointment
and telegraphed her once or twice
saying he would go and see her, but
failed to do SO. On July 81 he tele-
graphed her again he would meet her
at Trempealeau, Wis, in the morning,
that day being Sunday. She waited
there for him until / o'clock, and as
he failed to appear, she went to one
of the neighbors. At about 2:3O
O'Clock of that day he appeared at her
house and inquired for her. and find
ing her ont, told her brother that he
had come to make some settlement and
obtain a divorce; that he would not
live with her again. He stated at
that time that she bad committed
adultery with one b. I'll. Englund.
This she denied as soon as her brother
told her what Horton said.
The brother urged Horton to remain
and see Her, but lie refused to do so.
She next received a letter from Hor-
ton dated Aug. 3, 1890, in which lie
aidthat unless she consented to some
settlement he would commence an
action for divorce and take possession

of the children. On Aug. 6 he wrote
her saying that he had rented rooms
and board and asking her to come to
st. Paul at once and that they would
forget the past and begin living to-
gether again. He told her to bring
the little girl, but not the boy and not
to bring any furniture. Four days
after receiving this letter she came
to st. Paul bringing the little girl with
her and three days after the drowning
occurred. Two weeks before he sent
the telegram of July 10, Horton re-
ceived the famous Van VIE letter.
On August IL, the same day Mrs.
Horton arrived, Horton told his land
lady on Thirteenth street that he was
going out to the lake for a week for
his health and requested her to retain
his room for him, paying for it IN adj
vance. On Aug. 5 Horton engaged Il
room on the West side from Mr..
Lundroche, saying that he only
wanted it for a week or so for HIM
self and wife. On the night of the
drowning he hired a large boat, say
ing to the boatman that he wanted to
take his wife and child on Il boat ride
and went down the river to the
vicinity Of Pigs Eye, three miles
down the river. where the drowning
occurred. After the drowning, which
was at 9 o'clock, Horton took the IL
O'Clock moter for st. Paul and went
to bed and slept until the next norm
ing, then he informed his landlady
that he had bad luck the night before;
that his wife and child were drowned
and that ee was going to look for their
bodies.
He claimed to the authorities at
South Park that the boat was capsized
by the wife grabbing the little girl
whom, he said, saw something in the
water and was reaching after it, and
as they Were going into the water she
grabbed him around the neck. having
the little girl in one arm and holding
him with the other; that they sank
twice and as they came up the second
time he broke away from her and
that was the last he saw of them.
The policeman at South Park, who
furnished Horton dry clothing on the
evening of the drowning, and in whose
room Horton removed his wet cloth
ing, testified that the collar which
Horton had on that night was dry.
Besides the foregoing general state
ment of the facts claimed to have
been established by the prosecution,
are many incidents that will be made
use of in argument.
On Monday w. w. Erwin, counsel
for the defense, made his opening
address to the jury. The city papers
