do you still grope about on the

they were clinging to the vines
and waving their wands with the
left hand, nodding their heads with
delight. Groups of them were
resting on the palm leaves, dancing
up and down the steps watching
every girl as they walked quietly
on and off the stage, peeping in at
the arches; and finally, at beck
on from their queen they raised
their wands above their heads,
faced the road and vanished. 1t
was marvellous sight.
And likely you all know that
never do these airy visitants enter
mortal domains excepting where
there is entire love and harmony
as is true of cur dear "Kameha-

How to Pronounce Arkansas"

From Ilarper'S Weekly.
In the very interesting article in the
June Harper's Magazine, 1.-The Pleas
ant Life of Pere Marquette" by Henry
LOOMS Nelson, l.. H. d., the statement
is found: They We're among the
Akamsea. This is the way In which
Marquette spells the name of the Ar
kansas Indians, writing the word, of
course, as it struck his ear: and SO we
may sympathize with the people of the
modern state, who are so determined
that the name shall not be pronounced
as If 1t We're q heightened Kansas that
they have enacted Il statute condemn
ing all, by inference at least, who do
not say 'Arkansaw.' The correct pro-
nunciation of Arkansas is not Arkan-
saw, but Arkansa. This terminal is
not infreauent i'm Indian words received
through the French, and the final IS"
is silent and the "a is long. For in
stance, TensaS river (and parish) in
Louisiana is pronounced Tensa as Ar
kansas is correctly pronounced Arkansa
The statute referred to is no statute at
all, but mere concurrent resolution OF
the general assembly of 1881 expressing
its opinion of the correct pronunciation
OF the name of the state i'm order to Sc
cure correctness and uniformity in oral
official proceedings The body of the
resolution is as follows: BE is there
fore resolved by both houses of the
general assembly, That the only true
pronunciation of the name of the state.
in the opinion of this body, is that re-
ceived by the French from native In
dams. and committed to writing in the
French word representing the sound;
and that 1t should be pronounced in
three syllables. with the final s. sill
ent. the "a in each syllable With the
Italian sound, and the accent OH the
first and last syllables, -being the pro-
nunciation formerly universally and
now still most commonly used"
1t is conceded to men to pronounce
their names as they see fit, and their
pronunciation is binding. The same
privilege might we'll be accorded a
state, and yet the Heightened Kansas"
and the oNerdone Arkansaw are still
frequently heard without the state, but
rarely, and then only from newcomers
within the state.
