"W . m toml Vol. xiv. Astoria, Oregon, Sunday Morning. April 10, 1881. No. 85. - r fc5NB---- Ml ;A0t GENERAL EASTERN SEWS. I5V MAIL AND TKLBORAPK. Railroad Klocfcadc Iludcil. St. Paul, April S. The St Paul and Sioux city branch of the Chi cago and St. Paul railroad, was opened at uoon to-day through to Sioux city, having been blockaded since February 3d, and this after noon trains were able to run clear through. Large amounts of freights have accumulated. Doprrado Killed. Jackson, Mich., April S. A desperado named Lynch, in the penitentiary, knocked down the keeper and with three fellow prisoners attempted to escape. He was shot three times, by the ruard who discovered him, and killed. The rest made little re sistance. The lcad-LorK. "Washington-, April S. Demo crats and republicans alike de clare that they don't intend to abandon their position in the senate. Two hundred and sixty five nominations await action, and five treaties. It is stated that there is some probability that the republicans will go into exe cutive session to confirm the most important nominations some time next week, but should an attempt be made to seleet certain men for confirmation the democrats would probably resist and insist upon taking nominations in their proper order. Jobn Brown' Widow. New Yokk, April 8. The widow of John Brown, of Harper's Ferry fame, is in Washington seek ing government position. A Bos ton special to-day says that a sub scription has been opened in her behalf at Use office of ex-Senator Brooks. Significant Straws Standard Sili. About twenty-five or thirty men came down from Olympia yester day en route to the Yakima river rejrion to engage in driving log's on that river to provide timber, ties, etc., in aid of the construction of the Northern Pacific railroad in the direction of the sound. They tvere engaged in this occupation last year, and expected to renew their contracts this season. Gen. Sprague met them in this city and sent them back, informing them that the company will do no driving on the Yakima this year. Several indications point to the fact that the present managers of the Northern Pacific railroad are not j-o confident of winning in their present contest with so powerful an antagonist as Villard. A gentleman of intelligence from Tenino informs us that the people of his section have little hope of a western terminus of the Northern Pacific railroad at the sound, at present at lejist. In its "Wall street gossip, the New York "World of the 22d has the following to say on the subject: "The Northern Pacific project of issuing the remaining $1S,000,00 has a verv strong flavor of speculation about it. A very large short interest has been cultivated recently in these stocks and the impression now is that it was this unissued stock that was being sold, and that this issue comes in very handily to save hose who had sold short. The jstock went off when it became generally known that this block had been added to the stock, which at its best will not be able to represent a paying road for more than a small part of the year." Statistics recently submitted be fore the commercial club of Boston show that the value of the manu factured products annually turned out by Massachusetts is 6000,000, 000, 'against 100,000,000 of all other productions of that state". Word Building. One among the many neatly printed ami vory interesting pamphlet which wc found upon our table for review whun we returned to our sanctum last Sunday, is a report of the fifth annual meeting of the Washington Territorial Teachers institute, con vened in Seattle August 17th, 1SS0. The first thing to attract the attention is the elegance of the work, a fine sample of the Art Preservative, from the office of Sir. J. E. Clark, Olympia, feecretary of tlie Institute. The pamphlet contains one hundred pages, literally cram full of sensible ideas, valuable to tlie fraternity of teachers. Wc regret tliat we have room for an extract only from the address of Mr. lv. C. Kerr, of Port Townsond, upon the subject: Word Building: One of the most magnificent edifices on this continent is Girard's college, in Philadelphia, built entirely of white marble; its snowy walls, its massive 'columns, its marble stairway, its roof of stone and glass, make it a perfect ' model of architectural beauty and use fulness. Suppose now that the pro fessors there, whenever they wanted anything in the college, instead of going in by the doorway, should pull a block or two of marble out of the wall, and go in that way and keep doing this all thoir lives would you not say that they acted foolishly? Well this is just the way we get our knowledge of the English language, under the present system of instruc tion. Webster and other lexicograph ers have built a magnificent structure out of the English language, and every time wo want a new word, we tear the whole side out of that grand building just to sec how it is spelled and defined. The broad open gateway into this palace is the knowledge of the radical or root words; but we unwisely per sist in trying to climb in some other way. To give an illustration of our subject, we will take some words in common use; take the word heart The ancients believed that the heart was the seat of sense and reason; and it may be for what wo know it acts queerly sometimes. Well, thn Latin name for heart is cor, or cordis. Ac means to, con, together; dis, separate; re, again. Hence Ac 1 T'eldine the heart to; agreement. oa I cord i BMrts together; unity, or UarmoBy. Dig ( w" j hearts separate: disagreement. Kc I Uoptitnpen the heart acam: to re- , . member. 1 the heart or center. Cor dial heartily, with the heart. ( date J heart shaped. There are many other words from the same root, as according, concord ance, discordant, recorder, courageous, etc, etc., but these are enough for the illustration. After yon have learned the root, you will always know this word in its different drewes, wlier evor you meet it. Have your pupils learn wqrds in this manner; let them define, or gie yiHi:yms for the words, and wriu- s-eiiieiiee with these words in them, and they will nm be come very jroticieiit in the English language. P.: jHrrhaj; ome uf the pupils may think thetto words t hard for them; then let us take up an easier word.. Call up one of your pupils, Johnny, you will have four or five Johns in your school-room and toll him to write his name upon the black board. Then define it for him; toll him that John means "the gracious gift of God." Now let us see how many words we can form out of this word John. Find how it is spelled and pronounced in the different lan guage. En?litli John. Stmnish J nan. Danish Jan A clc-li Evan, Owen German ilans. French -Jean, Zuan. Russian Ivan. Italian Giovaiia. Mcin Scotch and ap in Welch is equivalent to son in English. Yille is from the French and means a town. Kin means little. John's son Johnson the son of John. Johnstown where the Johns live. Littlejolin a small man named John. Johnny diminutive of John. St. John a good or holv John. Jack diminutive of John. Jack's son Jackson son of Jack. Jacksonville where the Johns'Iive. John km, or Junkin a little John. Jenkins a little John. Junkinson, Jenkinson son of John. McJunkin son of John. Jon or Jones old way of saying John. Jonesville where the Johns live. Evan John. Evanson John's son. Evansville where the Johns live. Ap Evans -Bevens son of John. McOwenMcGowen John's son. San Juan St. Johii. There can be :ts many words formed out of Hans, Jan, Ivan, Juan, etc By this time the boy begins to think there is no end to the words made out of his little name. Now have we any little girls named John They will think not; but really we have some little girls called John, only wc do not pronounce it in that way. Jane, Jean, Joanna, Jean, Joanne, Jennie, and Joannotto, are all feminine forms for John, and moan "the gracioiis gift of God." We have mairy Johns among the girls. There are many phrases in the English language dorived from John; such as, Jack in boots, Jack at all trades, Jack-o'-Lantom, Jack in a box, and many others. Now, the other words of the Eng lish language arc like these; many words are untied from the same root. Whenever the pupil has learned tins root, or radical, he has learned all the words built or formed out of this root. These radicals arc the key that un locks to us this magnificent structure called the English language. As there arc only about one thousand of these radicals, and as it is much easier to remember one thousand words than-it is to recollect one hundred and four teen thousand words, this must be the easiest, the shortest and the best way of learning the English language.
