Pronunciation. Written for the Whig, ore or less discussion crops up from time to time, as to the desir ability of the use of Latin and Greek in schools. The end to be secured upon both sides is of course the same. The merits of these dead languages as a means for good education, seem to me beyond question. To begin with much. less labor is required, inasmuch as Latin and Greek cover most of the ground necessary for English gram- mar, ancient history and geography, mythology, poetry, rhetoric, and many other studies, besides giving vast in- formation as to the English language and literpture, and a variety of sub- jects which cannot readily through any other channels, as well as inculeating' a keen perception, and refined appreciation of the stand- ard points which make up: the educat- man. The study ofthe present text hooks of English grammar appears far more laborious and intricate than the requirements of the requisite know)- edge of Jatin and Greek, to obtain not only the same results, but a much better ®onception of our own lan- guage, which should include the deri- vations and meanings of words, as well as a vast amount of information of a highly useful and refining nature, What is the reason that Eaglish is usually spoken so ungrammatically ? Simply because Latin and Greek are not invariably taught, and the un- trained mind is tangled up with try- ing to worry out a complicated svs- tem of critical analysis of the English language as depicted in the ordinary grammars, each new edition of which is more complicated than its predeces- sor, and impresses one with, the idea that its author was treating the sub- ject upon - the lines of analytical chemistry. I overheard two public school stu- dents of, say fifteen years of age, not long ago, conversing about their late examinations, and one said to the other "1 done well in German any- 'way." This is a result of the present system. | admit that no system will cause anyone to speak grammatically wha, rarely hears good English spoken, but | maintain that no one with a mere smattering of Latin and Greek would have used the expression quot- ed. In the study of Latin and Greek, the student is building deep down on the foundations, and grasping most of the ingredients which compose our language and literature, whilst with- out them he is wandering amongst their ramifications, and does not dis- cover, nor understand the sources from which they emanate, and he fre- quently developes into a mere disput- ant over intricate and unimportant differences, which in many cases are useless and sometimes absolutely in- solvable, For-the simplest method of acquir- ing a knowledge of grammar, and Fnglish generally; for a polite and liberal education, for refnament of mind and manners, and for much in- formation inaccessible by any other means, commend me to Latin and Greek. Give me honest "Bonus, Bona, Bonum," every time before the "ad- verbial modifier of the predicate," or some other such entanglement, and pronounce Latin and Greek as an Englishman should, instead of as a foreigner. The absurd pronunciation of Latin in the continental style seems to render it as difficult as possible to he of service. The use of Latin and Greek is to learn English subjects, and the nearer they approach to the sound. quantity and inflection of English, the closer wi be the con- nection with the synipfmthy and un- derstanding of th» student. What does it signify how these old languages were pronounced ? We are not study- ing them excopt as a meens to an end. No one knows how they wire pronounced ecolloqually, or in litera: ture, no one cares, the nearer to English the better for Englishmen, the nearer to French for Frenchmen, and so on, then the eye, ear and brain all work ~ in harmony.- As it is now under this new fad, one ought to studv two or three continntal lan guages hefore commencing classics at all. Verily, a case of the tail wag- ging the dog. How can young men become accomplished in divinity, law, medicine, or science, without classics? True, they may obtain their diplomas in dog-Latin, but they must depend largely upon sheer memory, utd are badly handicapped when rome new phrase, term, or science turns up-- their scholarship must appear of a rough description--mere knowledge of fact isa small part of classics, it is the training of the mind through their agency which tells the story, ond all the smatterings of all the "ologies say, will never be able to 1 venture t of their po- compare with a tithe teeny. Gil Latin is simpler than English in its parts of speech, genders, cases, etc. more easily determined, the rules of syntax better defined, and ite whole construction more uniform, so that a knowledge of it opens up to the stu- dent's mind a complete revelation of the English language--it assists in the forming of a judicial mind, gives precision and exactness, and caps the whole with graceful sentiments. Latin is never forgbtten in after life which is one of its greatest virtues, so that it constantly acts as a corrective. How any young person can wrestle over the complexities of a modern English grammar, and extract any permanent benefit, therefroen. is be ond my com nsion, and as & Jt of are 1 do not believe 'that oneyin a thousand in shet life Sond 5 imary examination in it. Phe intense namber of Anglicized words taken from Latin and Greek, the profusion of quotations in litera ture, science, and art, and ordinary conversations, the expressions almost jmpossible to convev in English words or idiom, and a host of other aids to thought and expression. should be conclusive proof of the high position in which. these ancient tongues must over stand, and the attempt to teach English in all its forms - without them does not scem possible.

LUNATIC'S HORRIBLE DEED. Mutilated Himself On Visit To Relatives. Montreal, Nov, 24.--John Arnold, a lunatic, mutilated himself in a most horrible manner at Grenville, whither he went from the Verdun asylum to visit relatives.

May made his way to a corner of the cafe and grill room of the Waldorf-Astoria last night and called loudly for a waiter. To him May said: 'See here, son, I'm no cheap sport. These prople you are so busy with are four flushers and cheap. Now, pay particular attention to me and I'll fix you up. Are you listening 1" The waiter assured him that he un: doubtedly deserved to be and should be well served. After consuming a Manhattan cocktail, a hot turkey sandwich, and a second, cocktail, May scolded the waiter for inattention and otdered a club sandwich. He ate this, drank another cocktail and reprimand- ed the waiter, He also pounded on the table' and made remarks uncomplimen- tary to persons seated at other tables, In response to May's request for the highest price cigar in the establish- ment, the waiter took to him about the most aromatic cigar manufactured for practical purposes, such as chiefly sold to guests as souvenirs. May lighted it and then asked for a "char- lotte russe with a straw in it." * May then called in loud voice for Savage, once the hotel detective. Sav- age was rot there, but Hill, his sue. cessor, responded with alaerity to the summons conveyed by a relay of wait Lets and buttons, May smoked his big. black cigar for an hour and a half aftor being placed in a cell. He had no money, The bill against him was about $10. The charge upon which he was locked Mp was vagrancy. 3 WEAR FALSE TEETH. Any Deficiency Will No Longer Exempt Men.
