PBNDHHT OF ALL KNOWN BULKS.

Tbe convention to revise the orthogra
phy of the English language reassembled
in the Atlas Hotel yestertay. Ur. Benj.
Burnham, of Boston, and Miss Ida Park-
hurat, of New York, were appointed a
committee to draft a declaration of the
sentiments of the oommittee. After long
deliberation the oommittee reported the
following remarkable doonment:
When, in the course of human events,
it beoomes necessary for one party of
writers to dissolve tbe bond,: which have
connected their style of spelling with that
of another, decent respect for tbe opin
ions of mankind requires that they should
deolsre the causes which impel them to
the sepsration. We hold these truths to
be self-evident—that all men are endowed
by their Creator with oertain natural ten
dencies, among which are tbe pursuit and
attainment of simplicity, harmony and
method, and an^version to complexity,
incongruity and oonfusion; that when any
form of graphy beoomes destructive to
their tendencies to truth and order, it is
tbe right of the people to alter or to abol
ish it.and institute a new Byatem, laying
its foundations on snoh principles of ana
logy as are less vitiating than are hetero
geneous anomalies. Prndenoe, indeed,
will dioate that modes of symbolization
long established should not be changed
for light and tranoient causes; and accord
ingly, all experience hath shown that man
kind are more dispute i to suffer while
evils are sufferable than to rid them
selves by abolishing the forms to whioh
they are accustomed. But when the
prevalence of a tyranny sustaining a long
train of usurpations of others teuding in
variably to the same result evinoes a
oraven iudiffereuoe to people's being re
duced to an absolute despotisin, it is their
right, it is their duty, to throw off tbe
yoke of custom-ooeroed cacography and
to provide new guards for tbe future se
curity of orthography. To prove that
this vitiation is the direct effect of origi
nal indolenoe and unreason let facts be
submitted to a candid woild.
The present English alphabet is inade
quate. It has only twenty-six symbols
for more than forty sounds. It is redun
dant as to It, G and X, and oertain forms
called oapitals. It is contradictory, “a”
representing now fower than nine sounds,
“c” seven, “1” live, “o" nine, and “u”
eight. The so-called long sound of ouch
of these letters is represented by more
than fifteen different letters or combina
tions; “a” and “t” each by ten, and oth
er letters in so many different modes that
for forty souuds there are more than
three hundred and fifty equivalents. Un-
system is the outgrowth of ignorance and
chance. Cautious workmen were Dutch
men unable to write oorreot English.
Words were clipped or lengthened accord
ing to the npace whioh it was convenient
to give them in arranging tho printed
lines. Fanciful deviations have been em
bodied and perpetuated in the lilundors
of printers and transcribers, until the
graphy of words is no reliable guide to
their history, oven were such history
more important than a phonetio picture
of our language as spoken from time to
time.
A child oan neither-trust his eyes as to
the symbol nor his ears to the sound; and
tbe work of tho teacher is nothing more
nor leBS than to arraugo a series of per
sonal introductions between each individ
ual word. Nearly the whole of the avail
able time for education of the great mass
of children attending elementary schools
is absorbed in th& vain attempt to master
the difficulties of spelling, to the exclu
sion of nearly every other auhjeot of in
struction. If we add to this time of each
person learning to read and write, the
hours consumed in writing silent letters,
and multiply this snm by the number of
persons who speak English, we have a to
tal of millions of years wasted by each
generation. Tbe cost of printing silent
letters during each decade of the present
half century has amounted to millions of
dollars.
Greater still is the .esthetic and moral
evil. When after loug years of perplexi
ty the youthful mind becomes so vitiated
that the taste is no longer offended at
writing “hough” for hoe, and “rough”
for ruf, it may be presumed that tbe in
dividual will not be appalled to acquiesce
without remonstrance in all the absurdi
ties, philosophical, political, moral or re
ligious, whioh tyrannioal custom may de
mand.
«»•*•*
We, therefore, promoters of orthogra
phy, appealing to educationalists, patriots
and philanthropists, do, in the name of
humanity, publish and deelare that all
persons who write tbe English language
are, and of right ought to be, free and
independent readers, writers and reason-
era; that they are absolved from all alle
giance to irrational custom; that as such
readers, writers and reasoners they have
full power to spell according to the rule
that each sound shall have but one symbol
and eaoh letter symbolize but one sound.
And,for the support of this declaration,
with a desire to rejeot nothing that is
really valuable and venerable in the ex
isting practice of graphy, nor to intro
duce any nnhomogeneous now letters,and
with a firm reliance on the ptoteotion of
Divine Providence fur tbe survival of a
inonosymbolio alphabet do mutually
> to eaoh other our lives, our for-
all of it, even a gnat or a fly f ”
“I guess not.’”
“Well, then, he may just go to thunder
with his protoplasm. I don't betters it’s
worth ten oents a ponnd, anyhow. 'Pears
to me these Bcientifio fellows put on a big
lot of sirs about very little. Protoplasm,
eh? Shouldn't wonder if Huxley came
over here to get up a company to work
it. Did you soy the mine is in Englanc?”
The scientist gave him up in despair.

Sinoe Don Osmeron published his fa-
mons order there has been a oonstaht
soene of excitement at the War Depart
ment. Sherman does hot, I believe, like
doing dirty work, but he can’t help him
self, beoanse if he cuts up rough the first
thing he knows Fred. Grant or Babcock
will be put into his place. It reminds—
the War Department does—on a busy day,
of a restaurant about 1 o’clock with clerks
and messengers running in and out yell
ing : “Troops for one for Okeeoheebee,
Ala.” “United States marshal and some
infantry for Hamburg.” “Hurry up them
roast niggers for Selma—two companies
to follow 1” and so on.
Ur. Chandler, this morning, received
while I was with him a telegram from In
diana, as follows :
“Send more campaign notes, or we’re
gone up.”
“Campaign notes?” said I; “O, that's
the New York Times."
“Oh, no!” responded the Secretary,
“our people out there can’t read. Cam

Aa to Profesaor Haxley*
The eminent English seeientist, Profes
sor Huxley, made but a short stay iu New
York, but his arrival was the cause of a
conversation between one of her amateur
scientists and matter of-fact friend, that
seems to be worth reporting. The ama
teur is an enthusiastic admirer of Huxley,
and he spoke so extravigautly about him
that the friend Anally ho oatue curious,
and asked:
“ Who in the thunder is Huxley, any*
way?”
“You don’t mean to say yon have not
heard of Professor Huxley, the great sci
entist?”
“Yes, I do though. Nevery heard his
name before. What has be done?”
“Why, man, Huxley made the impor
tant disoovery about protoplasm.”
“About what?”
“Protoplasm.”
“And what the dickens is protoplasm?”
“Now, look here, yon don't mean to sit
there and tell me you don’t know what
protoplasm is?”
“That’s just it. Nary protoplasm.”
“Well, protoplasm is what we may call
the life principle.”
“Anything to do with insuranco?”
“Oh, nonsonse; the life principle iu na
ture—the starting poiut of vital action, so
to speak. ”
“He discovered that, did he?
“Yes, a few years ago, in England.”
“And what good is it going to do ?”
“Good! A great deal of good. It ox-
panda the oirole of human knowledge,
and is valuable in bearing out the theory
of evolution. It is a noble contribution
to aoience, and it has made Huxley one
of the few immortal names that were not
born to die.”
“So Huxley knows all about the life
principle, does be ?”
“Yea, all about it.”
“And the startiog point of final ao
tion ?”
“Eiactly.”
“Well,’see here now, can he take some
of that protoplasm and go to work and
make a man or a horse or an elephaut
with it?”
