PROPER NAMES.
Pronoaneed Mac Fngilsh, but With the
Kltjht Kyllable Aewuted.
As the Euglihh language has wvll
settled rules of pronunciation, and is
well alilo to deal iu its own niunner
with almost any piniblo couibiuutiou
of letters bronght into it from other
languages, it would seem to bo not only
permirKihle but proper for Knglivh
speaking people to pronounce foreign
names atx'onling to KngliiOi antilogies.
It is not incumbent npou Anierintns or
KtiKlt'hnien to familiarize tlieniselve
with RuKsiau, fur exainple, before they
muy venture to pronounce the uiiine of
a Russian diplomat, or study Chi new
in order to be iu a position to mention
custially some Chinese proxr mime. It
is enough, as a general rule, to give to
the old combination of sounds presented
to us in dispatches from Jupau, Bul
garia, the Trilingual or Venezuela such
utterance as tho laws of our owu lan
guage prescribe. Hit or miss, life is too
short to muster the orthoepy of every
tongue uud we muft te content to do
the hot we can in our owu way. Espe
cially is this the rose with prcqicr names
that have long hud place in tho EnglUh
lunguage aud have a reconizt-d Eng
lish pronunciation. It is mere affecta
tion to convert Paris into Puree, or ape
the German pronunciation of the name
of Wagner, the well known musiciuu
and composer, by giving a v twiht to the
first letter. Puris is Paris, aud Wuguer
is Wagner, the mimes being common
and well understood. A person in the
first enthusiasm of his acquaintance
witk a foreign lunguuge muy be par
doned for airing his superior knowledge
when uncommon mimes, not adopted in
common English speech, are iu ques
tion, but he becomes ridiculous when
be uudertukes to impart a foreign ac
cent to familiar names. There is a story
of a New York clerk, named Gordon,
who after a mouth's stay in France be
cuuie "Oor-r-rdong" and refused to an
swer to any other appellutiou. His case
wum an extreme one perhaps, but it il
lustrates tho vice too common of
using with excessive ostentation foreign
instead of tho more useful aud intelli
gible Euglihh pronunciations.
With respect to Latin and Greek prop
er names a stricter rnlo may perhaps be
conceded to apply. Those lunguuges are
the implements of culture. The rules of
pronunciation applicable to words trans
ferred from them into English are
simple and few, and well within the
reach of every one who pretends to a
cliiKMcal education. A fulse accent is ac
cordingly unpardonable, and among
clussio scholars correctness of accent is
the accepted test of sound and thorough
training. But in the sounds given to
particular letters there is room for the
manifestation of vuuity or immature
judguieut Cicero's mime during the
lifetime of the great Kcniiin orator wits
undoubtedly pronounced Kikero, and
Ciesur was Kaisar. Other consonants
and all the vowels were iu classical
Latiu pronounced in a way which our
English letters once followed, but from
which they have now for the most part
departed. At college it is well to learn
what is thought to have been the true
Latin pronunciation. All knowledge is
useful. But it is unnecessary in quot
ing Latin after leaving college to aim
at a painful consistency. In respect
indeed to names like Cicero and Casar,
which have been domesticated, so to
speak, in the English language, the
usual rule applies. They are to be pro
nounced like English words, only tuk
ing care to get the accent on the right
syllable. The English speaking Ameri
can people accept, iu fuet, the common
sense rule thut pure English is always
preferable to a potpourri of German.

George Sand at ReTeoty-one,
La Revue de Puris prints a statement
by George Suud on her views of novel
writing und hrt views of life iu general.
It wua written when sho was 71 years
old aud was meant as a preface to a
new edition of her works, but the proj
ect of the new edition was given up.
Though she was looking forward to
death at the time, it expresses only the
most cheerful sentiments, for there was
a stubbornness about her optimism as
about her idealism. Concerning this
lost she has a good deal to say, of which
the substance is this: she has been
charged with idealizing her personages.
Well, she meant them to be as they are.
And, which is not the sume thing, she
saw them so, and often met people like
them in the world. But if she had only
met one such noble personage that
same would have been real, aud she
would be witbiu her rights iu depicting
him. She is aware the present temper
of the world is hard. She has done her
level best to soften the feelings of her
contemporaries aud altogether fuiled.
But she meuus to go ou her old way at
71, aud, if she can persuade a single
soul of the reality of ideal virtue, will
say her time has not been lost. And all
will come right As for the world going
to the dogs or dying of feebleness not
a bit of it. The gronner only echoes bis
own miserable condition. Loudon

Re Conquered Carlyle.
The Rev. Thomas Alexander, a Pres
byterian minister kmg resident in Chel
sea, and well known as a brother Scot,
was most anxious to know Curlyle, but
had no opportunity of getting an intro
duction to him. One day, in the King's
road, he saw Carlyle coming in his di
rection, aud took advautage of the op
portunity by going op to the sage ana
saying, "Thomas Carlyle, I believe:" t
Carlyle'a reply was, "Tom Alexander,!
I know!" They became g'"d friends.
and later Mr. Alexander wrote to Car
lyle for a subscription toward a school
building fund, and Carlyle wrote back

Alexander rerilied that if he did not '

Is there In the land that has uot read

production of bis pen, "Tom Brown's
S-hnol Days?"
Thomas Hughes was born in Berk
shire In He whs educated at
Hugby and later graduated from Ox
ford. He was prominent at athletics
In college. After leaving scIhhiI he
was admitted to the liar aud sat In
Parliament from lSCi to 1874. During
this time he paid a visit to the VnHed
Stuten and afterward established the
Hugby Colouy In Tennessee, which
turned out to lie a failure.
It was In 1N.77, when a comparative
ly obscure barrister, that he wrote
'"Tom Brown's School Days." The
hook Instantly jumped into popular
favor and brought a fortune to the
author and also to the publisher. The
wonderful siicceas of the lssik aston
ished Hughes as well as everybody
else. He wrote several other book,
mainly of a religion and political na
ture, among them a hlntory of our civil
war, but none of them became very
popular.

There Is one true spcciHc (or diseases

what is now known
the world over as
l'ltine's celery coin-
Kiu ml, a positive cure
or dyspepsia, bilious
ness, liver complaint,
neuralgia, rheuma
tism, aud kidner
troubles. For the Utter Paine's celery
compound has succeeded again and
again where everything else has (ailed.
huiferers from neuralgia, neuralgic,
headac'ies and rheumatism should stop

E tin-killing drugs. No cure can be
oped (or (rom these temporixers. There
Is one way ol getting rid lorever ol the
causes ol all this suffering; that is by
taking Paine's celery compound. In
this great modern reined v tbe real
means to health Is attended to; sleep is
made sound and refreshing, the appetite
improves and the nerves stop complain
ing, because they get the nutriment that
nature requires. This is tbe funda
mental, rational war that Paine's celery
compound takes to be able to cope suc
cessfully with diseases of the liver, kid
neys and stomach, and to guarantee a

gestion and a quiet, well regulated nerA
