Tongues Usually So Called Are Far from
 Being Really Dead.
 "The expression dead language Is almost constantly used in misleading connection" says Prof. Arthur Dutton, of Boston. "There are doubtless hun dreds of dead languages, of which none but antiquarians have any knowledge, but the dead languages taught in our universities and colleges have a good deal of life left In them yet. The name is almost universally applied to Greek, Hebrew and Latin. A quarter of 8 century ago 1t certainly looked as though Greek was dying out of exis- tence altogether, but since modern Greece has surprised even its best friends by the new life it has taken up, the purest Greek is being spoken in and around Athens. It is quite mistake to suggest that modern Greek differs so much from that of the former rulers of the world that the man who knows one cannot understand the other. The ten dency of modern times has been rather to bridge over the differences, and the Greek now spoken is very pure. Not Olly IS Lhtlu III uSC uoW dLlOLS ClluICI1 dignitaries and others with scarcely any variation since the days of Virgil and Cesar, but there are thousands of people in Europe who use it in their everyday life, although, of course, it is not at all like the language of the Italians. As to Hebrew, it has always been maintained in its purity, and can not by any stretch of reasoning be re- garded as dead language"

 MERIDIAN, Miss, July s.--[speciai! Correspondence. 1.-The general topic of conversation upon the streets here today is the great strike. The bulletin boards are eagerly watched by all classes. There has been no boisterous conduct participated in by strikers nor prospects of any trouble whatever. The city is very quiet. AL though the firemen struck yesterday, yet the running of passenger trains has not been interIered with. The engineers are making their usual runs with pon- -uuion tiremen. The switchmen in the yards having struck Saturday night trains are made up by Yard Master A.. Moritz, Mas ter Mecnanic J. G. Tomlirson, Sanford Houston, depot clerk, and John Horne, depot policeman. These gentlemen have labored dilige ntIy to protect their com Iany's interest, and the entire force of city officers guarantees them protection from any onslaught or attempts to retard their labors.
 Knots of the strikers are seen upon the streets taking over the condition of affairs and say they will not depredate on the railroad com mpany's property.
