A Faithful Friend.

Lennox, Mo-, Sept. 1st.-Mr. W H.
Brown of this place has reason to be
thankful that he has at least one friend
by whose good advice he has been
spared much pain and trouble. He
says:
Il have had backache for over twelve
months. Sometimes I could hardly get
up when I was down, the pain in my
back was so great
II tried many things, but could not
get anything to help me or give me re-
lief till a friend of mine advised me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
After had used two boxes the pain
in my back had all left me, and 1 am
as we'll as ever was.
II am very thankful to Dodd's Kid
ney Pills for what they have done for
me, and will never forget my friend
for having suggested this remedy"

ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION.
Great Differences from the Standard
Followed in America.

Great Differences from the Standard
Followed in America.
The American who believes, as
thousands do, that to betray ones ma
tionality is to invite overcharging and
extortion in the West End shops of
London, is not only hard pressed to
choose the peculiar words the English
employ, but he has quite as many and
as deep pitfalls to avoid in the methods
of pronunciation. I will not refer to
the false or ignorant methods of IL
lterate persons who will confine atten-
ton to some eccentricities of pronun-
citation of gentlemen and ladies of edu-
cation, rank and breeding. They say
immejitly, injin for engine, militry,
fgger and figgers, clark for clerk, pay
tent, newfoundland so on through a
long list. The peculiarities Of their
mode Of pronouncing their own names
of families, places and things, are not
open to criticism, because if they may
not do as they please with their own
it is hard indeed They pronounce
Berkeley barclay, Cowper is cooper,
Cadogan is kerduggan, Ralph is rafe,
in some shires Craven is sometimes
Crawveen, Derby is darby, Leveson-
Cover becomes loosun- gore, HEREFORD
is hartford, and Albany is spoken so
that the first syllable shall rhyme
with shall instead Of with hall, as with
us. I hesitate to say that Cholmonde-
ley is called CHUNKY, and that Beau
champ is beechum, as everyone knows
these eccentricities, yet there are the
most remarkable of all the liberties the
English take with their language. You
must say BalMO-ral and Trafalgar,
and you must chop the following
names very short: Ludget, Ho-b'n,
South-uk, and Merrybun, whenever
you wish toHsay Ludgate, Holborn,
Southwark and Marylebone.. I have
heard the prince call his own house

The news comes from Paris that
