Changes in Pronunciation.

Pronunciation is slowly but steadily
changing. Sometimes it is going fur
Their and further away from the orthog-
raphy; for example, either and neither
are getting more and more to have in
their first syllable the long sound in
stead of the long sound which they
had once. Sometimes 1t is being modi-
fed to agree with the photography; for
example, says writer in Harper's
Weekly, the older pronunciations Of
again to rhyme with men, and Of been
to rhyme with pin, in which was care
fully trained as a boy, seem TO me to be
giving way before pronunciation in
exact accord with the spelling, again to
rhyme with pain, and been to rhyme
with seen. These two illustrations are
from the necessarily circumscribed ex-
perience of a single observer, and the
observation of others may not bear me
out in my opinion; but though the illus
trations fall to the ground the main as
sertion, that pronunciation is changing,
is indisputable.

Why Life L. Short.

The duration Of life depends neither
on climate nor food nor race nor any
external condition, but on the natural
constitution and intrinsic vigor of our
organs. One hundred years is the nat
ural life of man, according to the Phil
adelphia Times The curtailment be-
low this normal term is the result of
those errors and excuses in the manner
Of living which impair the organs and
produce premature decay. Frop the
time OF Noah to the days Of Joshua and
Moses the record Is one Of successive
and gradual decrease in longevity.
Joshua waxed old and stricken in years
some time before his death at one hum
dred and ten. The whole of life teens
with incidents which must need affect
more or less its duration. In a manu-
featuring and commercial country par
ticularly, where population is more
crowded and where art and labor in
| every branch are strained to the ut
most reach of human exertion, life be-
comes subject to influences which act
powerfully upon it and tend to shorten
its duration. Some particular occupa-
tions abridge life by bodily confinement
and deprivation of good air. When
there is a free current of pure air the
functions of the body and mind are
kept in healthy action by moderate ex-
ercise, not by strained tension, and
when the pursuits in life are Of a moral
tendency and effect life may be pro-
longed to advanced years. But when
we indulge in vicious habits, which
create pain and trouble, life GIBBS
away, often imperceptibly, and we do
not notice its decline until the fatal
regress: GAS brooks make rivers, rivers
run to seas"

DRUMMEo OUT OF CAMP.
Severe Punishmsnt OF Soldier VIII
Cheered ReEILmAnn.

PrTaBURa, July 25.-Tho sensation of
the camp yesterday was the drumming
out of town of Private Iams, of Company
@, Tenth Regiment, who shouted when
the report of the attempted assassination
of Mr.. Prick reached the Provisional Brig
ade for three cheers for the assassin.
Col. Streator, from his quarters, heard
the incendiary shout. He hurried into
camp and ordered the regiment to be
paraded in double-quick time.
When his command was drawn up he
recited to the soldiers the remark he had
heard.
81 heard the voice distinctly" the Colo
mel said: "I think recognized, and l
want the man who made the statement to
advance two PAGES"
The Colonel had recognized Iams' voice,
and he was standing directly in front of
the accused when he was talking.
Immediately Private Iams stepped to the
front. He was tembling like an aspen
leaf, and he seemed unable to hold his gun.
"You offered three cheers for the killing
Of Mr.. Prick, did you notp the Colonel
asked. R1HaRNRNeAn
Iams didn't answer, but he hung his
head and nodded In the ALTERNATIVES; he
was ordered to the guardhouse. The Colo
mel and his staff, including the surgeon,
then went to the guardhouse.
The officer of the day took charge of the
culprit and at the Colonel's orders he was
hung up by the thumbs for thirty minutes.
The surgeons remained with the unfof-
tunate during all his punishment One of
them kept watch on his pulse, while an
other looked after his heart, and at the
end of thirty minutes Surgeon Neff Or
dered him taken down.
When released young Iams was limp
and apparently unconscious. The sur
geons remained with him for another hour,
when he was taken to his quarters.
Yesterday one side of his head was
shaved and one side of his beard and mus
tache cut off, and his uniform was taken
from him.
A civilians dress was given him and he
was then given in charge of twenty men
and drum corps and marched out of
town mile and half to the tune of the
"Rogue's March"
The guards were given strict orders in
his presence to shoot him if he turned to
the right or left.
He was also disfranchised and will here
after be canaan without a country"
The punishment, although severe, is in
accord with law passed i n 1887, and is
generally commended.
Iams is a travelling salesman and lives
in Waynesburgh.

The smallpox Fright on Block Island.

Prov IDENcE, RI, July 25.-The small
pox fright at Block Island is practically
over. DR.. Fisher, secretary of the State
Board of Health, has issued a circular in
which he says that he visited the island
and personally inspected the premises of
the Hotel Manisees and finds no further de-
velopment of the disease, and that under
the present circumstances and in view of
the rigid enforcement of the quarantine
law, there is no immediate danger of the
disease spreading. There are several
guests locked up in the Manisees Hotel,
where the disease originated, and they
will not be permitted to leave for fifteen
days, a constant patrol being maintained
about the building There were five cases
in all, but none have proved serious.
Many guests have left the Island, but the
exodus has practically ceased.

PERHAPS THE LAST WEEK.
likelihood that Congress wul. Adjourn /,
q Short Tfxao.

WASHINGTON. July 25.-This will prob
ably be the last week Of Congress If def
mite action is taken ON the Sundry Civil
and General Deficiency Appropriation
bills. 1t is idle to predict the fate of
these measures, which is enveloped in
doubt.
Iu the House to-day the conferees ON
the Sundry Civil bill will submit their
reports and a vote may be taken on the
items in dispute, including the vexed
senate amendment relating to the Column
bian Exposition. It is possible, however.
that consideration will be postponed until
to-morrow in order that the resolutions
reported from the special committee on
the Pension Office Investigation may be
taken up. These will likely occasion a
long debate, as, it is said, the Republicans
intend to resort to flibusteEing tactics to
prevent the adoption of any resolution re-
garding the dismissal of Commissioners
Raum.
After this matter and the appropriation
bills are disposed of the remainder of the
week will be accorded to the various
committees to call up, for one hour each,
the measures reported on the calendar.
subject only to conference reports.
1t Is not among improbabilities that
appropriation to the Exposition, as the
opposition to 1t in the q ase is well Or
gained for a prolonged fight.
One weeks solid oratory on the anti
Option bill in the Senate has not afforded
any clue to the probable termination of
the debate. That is to say, to a termina-
ton by natural causes, by an agreement
to takea vote. A majority vote can. of
course, postpone the bill at any time.
Mr.. Washburn, in charge of the bill.
has not yet ventured to hint when he
shall ask unanimous consent that debate
shall CLOSE
Another week Of hard work may posi-
bly, dispose of both the Deficiency and the
Sundry Civil bill, though there are grave
questions in dispute between the two
Houses on both measures which involve
many millions of dollars. The Senate
conferees would have asked permission to
enter into a third and probably q final
conference on the Deficiency bill Saturday
afternoon, but discovered, while Mr.. ALI
son had the motion pending, that the par
hamentary condition required the House
to make the first move, and the House had
adjourned without doing so.
II this bill and the Sundry Civil bill,
which includes the Worlds Fair project,
should be put into such shape as to permit
OF an agreement upon them, without any
great backdown by either branch Of Con-
| gress by the end Of the week, such a move
| for adjournment will be started that Mr.,
Washburn will find it difficult to hold the
Senate in session longer than day or two
further on his anti-Option bill, and may
be forced to submit to postponement OF
| action until December.

Discomfort IN CUBA.
A Native Says the People of the Island Are
Ripe for Revolution.

Ripe for Revolution.
CHICAGO, July 25.-R. G. Sorocco, a
Cuban now in Chicago, and recently Sec
rotary of the Council of Presidents of
Cuban Clubs at Key West, says that a
revolution in the island of Cuba is likely
to take place at any moment.
"We intend" said he, ''to fly the Cuban
flag from MORO Castle in the port of Hav-
ana by next fall. The State of affairs in
Cuba is ripe for revolution. The discon-
tent is general by reason of the govern
ment's exactions. Spain is poor nation
to pay its debts, and all the debts 1t has
contracted within the last century it is
taking out of Cuba.
1T has too many men who have to be
supported in Office, and when it cannot do
better it sends them to Cuba These car
pet-baggers,' as you would call them in
America, know that the first change in
government at home will throw them out;
so while their tenure Of Office lasts they
try to wiring as much as possible out of
the people.
'"The Cubans have to submit to the domi-
nation of a race inferior to themselves or
emigrate. But whether they remain at
home or leave, they are still resolved to
put down this oppression of their country"

Grover Cleveland
and the Women.

Mrs Mary Frost Ormsby of New York,
with many other well-meaning women,
formed political club lately and named
Il the "Frances Cleveland Influence Club. i"
She wrote a letter to Mrs Cleveland in
forming her of this fact, and the letter
was full of patriotic sentiment. Mrs
Cleveland handed the letter over to her
lord and master, aud he answered it, say
ing that he could not approve of the use
of Mrs Cleveland's name for. political
work, as the name of a wife and mother
is too sacred. We think that Mr. Cleve-
land could afford to let these women Ego
as they please They did not ask for his
approval, and he needs all the influence
he can get. Mr. Cleveland ought to re-
member he only represents certain ideas
that are in the public mind, and his per-
sOual likes and dislikes are of minor ims
portance. He has often told us that the
functions of government should be- CON
sidered sacred. If so, we can tell him
that It will require the refining process of
woman's influence to make it sacred. Men
have gone it alone thus far, and there is
nothing to-day much more degrading than
politics; and the corruption fund is grow
ing larger all the time. We think that
Mr.. Cleveland ought to feel honored in
having, as Mrs. Ormsby expresses it, the
mothers, wives, daughters and sisters of
New York democrats enIlsCeu IN MS CAUSE

There's not place in earth or heaven,

PARIS, July 25.-Mr. Edwa1d Parker
Deacon, who is serving a one year SEN
tence at Grasse for shooting and killing
NJ. Abeille at the Hotel Splendide, has
opened proceeding against his wife for
adultery with NJ. Abeille.
This action is taken by Mr.. Deacon in
consequence of Mrs. Deacon's application
summoning her husband to permit her to
have access to the children. According
to the French law, if Mrs. Deacon is found
guilty of the charge her husband makes
against her she will be liable to term of
imprisonment.
The custody of the children was given

of his brother. The statement that they
are now living with their mother at the
Convent of Our Lady of the Assumption
is disproved by the action taken by Mrs.
Deacon for a legal order allowing her
to see them.
