English versus volapuk.

Volapuk may be regarded as having
lived it's day, and even those who were
at one time most enthusiastic in its
propagation have now abandoned the
scheme as impracticable, and have de-
termined to adopt in it's stead some liv-
ing language, to be chosen for univer-
sal writing and conversation. OF course
there is none that offers such obvious
advantages as English, which is the
language of 100, 100000 people in all
parts of the globe. These ideas are
shared by many Notwithstanding
races, and it is a curious and remark
able fact, worthy of note, that when
ever Germans establish themselves in
China, Japan, or any other Asiatic
countries, they begin bg learning, not
the language of the people among
whom they have happened to settle
but English, as the best means of in
rercourse in their dealings alike with
foreiRnefs and natiyas.-~S, Y. TFihan.s
