vVe have endeavored, in this work, to press into the smallest
compass the greatest amount of information. The Dictionary
proper will be found reliable in every point. Equal care has
been bestowed upon the Spelling, the Denning, and the Pro-
nouncing. This book will be found worthy of comparison with
the most extensive and expensive Dictionaries in the language.

In addition to this, it will be seen, by a glance at the con-
tents, that this volume contains concise, but thorough, article^
giving explanations of many other useful branches of human
knowledge, besides the science of language.

KEY TO THE PRONUNCIATION.

The consonants used in the Phonetic Spelling retain their name or ordi-
nary unvarying sounds, with the exception of G. The same sounds are al-
ways represented by the same letters, no matter hew varied their actual
spelling in the language. Vowels, unless marked, retain their short sounds
as in lad, led, lid, lot, but, book. The diphthong au or aw represents the
sound of a as heard in all; and au or ow as in now, The syllabic soiind oi
ble, whether terminal or incidental, is represented by bl, and the the termi-
nation bly by ble. The marked vowels are shown in the following line :

Fate, Far, Me, Mine, Mote, Mflte, MOOn.

When more than one pronunciation of a word is given, that which is placed
irst ia the moat accepted.

HOW TO TRONOUCE DIFFICULT WORDS.

PRINCIPLES OF CORRECT PRONUNCIATION.

Pronunciation is just when every letter has its proper sound, and every
syllable has its proper accent or quality.— Dr. Jo ,nson.

TUB difficulties of pronunciation arise from the nature of lan-
guage ; the imperfections of alphabets, and the ignorance, care-
lessness or affectation of the generality of speakers.

These difficulties are so numerous that it would be impossible
to notice them all, even in the most cursory manner, in so small a
work.

We shall, however, give a few general principles which will be
found to embrace almost all that is useful in practice.

1. The ANALOGIES of the language, the AUTHORITY of lexicogra-
phers, and above all. the CUSTOM of the most correct and elegant
speakers, are the guides to which we must refer in ail cases of
difficulty. Nor can these difficulties, in every case, be resolved by
such references ; for we shall often find analogy opposed to anal-
ogy, authority to authority, and custom divided, even among tin
naost elegant speakers.

2. In cases in which custom or authority is divided, we should
give the preference to the pronunciation which is most in accord-
ance with analogy. The word Some, for instance, should be pro-
nounced rome rather than room ; and this is beginning to be the
case, though the latter pronunciation was once thought " irrevo-
cably fixed in the language."

3. The three great and prevailing errors in pronunciation are
VULGARITY: pr^ANTRY, and AFFECTATION. Against each of these
faults we shi ' 1 be constantly on our guard; but most of all
against AFFECT YTION forr/.': '. y far the most odious.

4. The fi."owing excellent observations from Dr. Johnson de-
serve particular attention- —

" Jfor FEOXCXCIATIOX, the best general rule is to consider

354 HOW TO PBONOtn^C-E, DIFFICULT WORDS.

those of the most elegant speakers who deviate least from the
written words. Of English, as of all living tongues, there is a
double pronunciation, one cursory and colloquial, the other regu-
lar and solemn. The cursory pronunciation is always vague and
uncertain, being made different in different mouths by negligence,
unskillfulness, and affectation. The solemn pronunciation, though
l>y no means immutable and permanent, is always less remote
::.>m the orthography, and less liable to capricious innovation."

5. Every word of two or more syllables has in pronunciation a
certain ACCENT, that is, a peculiar stress or force laid upon a par-
ticular syllable.

If the accent in any word is misplaced, the pronunciation i.»
injured or destroyed. Compare, for instance, the different pro-
nunciations of refuse and refute; desert' and des'ert; minute and
minute.

a. Some words, in addition to the principal, have a SECONDARY,
or weaker accent ; as in

Ad'verti"se, Ab'sente"e, Com'plaisan 't,

Ar 'tizan', Ben' efac'tor, Con 'versa' tion.

6. The general tendency of our language is to accent the root,
and not the termination of a word. Hence the natural position of
the accent in English words is in the first syllable. As a general
rule, therefore, English or Saxon words should have the accent
on the first syllable.

This general rule is exemplified not only by the usual position
(•f the accent in English or Saxon words, particularly in DISSYLLA-
BLES and TRISYLLABLES, but also by the tendency which we ob-
serve in our language to bring words of foreign origin under tha
English or radical accent.

a. The words memoir, bouquet and reservoir, for instance, have
been brought under the English accent, and complaisant, balcony,
revenue, cravat, s-'line, and many others, are on the way. Hence
also the popular pronunciation of the word police (namely po-lis) ;
and the colloquial, but now recognized pronunciation of boattwain,
(bo in}, cockswain (cock sn), cupboard (cupburd), etc. Many foreign
words, however, particularly French, have struggled successfully
against the English tendency ; as

Antique Critique Palanquin Ravine

Brazil Fascine Profile Recitative

Wombazin Fatigue Quarantine Repartee

Caprice Grimace Machine Routine

PKICIPLES OF COERECT PKONtJNCIATION". 355

Capuchin Invalid Marine Tambourine

Chagrin Pelisse Magazine Tontine

Chemise Police Mandarin Unique

b. With regard to words of Greek or Latin origin, it may be laid
down as a general rule, that when they are adopted whole or
without change the accent or quantity of the original word is
usually preserved ; as in

Anath'ema Dilem'ma Diplo'ma Hori'zon

Acu'men Bitu'men Deco'rum Spectator

c. In many such words, however, the English tendency has pre-
vailed ; as in

Or'ator Sen'ator Aud'itor Pleth'ora

7. This tendency is, however, counteracted to a certain extent
by another natural tendency in the language. In words used as
verbs, the tendency of the accent is to the termination, and not to
the root. Hence, in verbs of two syllables, the accent is generally
on the last, and in verbs of three syllables, on the last, or last but
one.

a. Hence the unsettled position of the accent in such words as

Confiscate Contemplate Enervate

Compensate Demonstrate Extirpate

Some authorities, following the general tendency, place the
accent on the first syllable, as compensate; while others hold that,
as verbs, it is better to accent the second syllable, as cmnperi sate. •

8. The radical accent is also counteracted by the tendency in\
compound or derivative words to follow the accent of their prima-
ries ; as in

Admi rer from admi're Begin' ning from begin'

Abet' tor " abet' Common' cement " common' ce

Profess' or " profess' Commit' tal " commit,

Assail' able " assail' Coquet' ry " coquet' te

a. In many cases, however, the radical or general tendency of
the accent has prevailed ; as in

Ad mirable from admi're Adver'tisement from adverti'se

Com' parable " compa're Chas'tisement " chasti'se

Lam entable " lament Dis'putant " dispu'te

b. In several words the contest is, as yet, undecided ; as in

Ac ceptable or accept able Dis'putable or dispu 'table

Com'mendable or commend' able Con fessor or confess' or

356 HOW TO PRONOUNCE DIFFICULT WOEDS.

9. The tendency in compound or derivative words to preserve
the accent of their primaries, is crossed by another natural ten-
dency, namely, the disposition in compound or derivative words to
shorten the long sounds or syllables of their primaries : as in the
following words :-

Depravity from deprave Maintenance from maintain

Severity " severe Shepherd " shespherd

Divinity

Consolatory

Granary

Villainy

Desperate

divine Splenetic ' splwn

console Gosling ' goose

gram Throttle ' throat

villam Pronunciation ' pronounce

despair Southerly ' south

10. ACCENT, from its very nature, must affect not only the syl-
lable under it, but also the syllable next it; for in proportion ai
the one is dwelt upon, the other is passed quickly over. This is
exemplified by the usual pronunciation of the unaccented syllable
in the following words : —

Cab'boge Fur'nace Cli mate Cap'tam

Courage Menace Curate Fountain

Image Palace Prelate Villain

Village Solace Private Britain

For'«i'gn Fa'vor Fa'mows Car'rtage

Forfeit Fervor Pious Marriage

Surfeit Humor Pompous Parliament

Sovereign Labor Monstrous William

In the preceding words the unaccented syllable is pronounced
quickly and indistinctly ; and in the case of a diphthong, one of
the vowels is omitted altogether in the pronunciation. Compare,
for example, the different sounds of the termination age in the
•words cab' bage and enga ge, p>es age and preset ge. Compare, also,
the different pronunciations of the accented and unaccented sylla-
bles in the following words : —

Contain' Cap'tam Retain' Foun'tazn

Allay' Sunday Ally' Sal'ly

Dec«V For'f«'t Conceit' Sur'f«'t

Percme' For'«'gn Survey' Sur'vey

11. Hence it is that such combinations as ea, ia, ie, eo, io, eout,
tout, following an accented syllable, are, in pronunciation, usually
drawn into one sound or syllable, though composed of more than
ooe rowel j as ia

PRINCIPLES OF CORRECT PRONUNCIATION. 357

Ocean (o'dan)
Logician (lo-jish an~)
Social (w_$hal\

Partial (par s/tal

Conscience (con theme]
Patient (pa'shent)

Surgeon (sur'jun*}
Luncheon (lun'skun)
Pension (pen shun
Mention (men shun)
Gorgeous (gorjus*)
Gracious (gra shus)

a. And when e, 3, or t precedes any of these combination, it has,
by the quickness of the enunciation, and the conspquent blending
of its sound with the vowel, the force of sh, as in the examples just
given.

b. Hence the terminations cial, sial, and tial, are pronounced like
thai ; as in commerce/, controver*toJ, and martial.

e. The terminations ceous, cioits, and tious are pronounced like
thut ; as in farinaceows, capaei'ow*, and contentious.

d. The terminations geous and gious are pronounced like jut; as
in courageous and religiout.

e. The terminations tion and tion are pronounced likeihun; as
iu mission and invention ; but the termination tion, preceded by a
vowel, is pronou iced like zhun ; as in explo»w?iand confusion.

12. The seat of the accent will generally serve as a guide in the
pronunciation of final syllables in ICE, ILE, IXE, ISE, and ITE.
When the i is accented, it is long, and when unaccented, it it,
usually short ; as in the following words : —

18. In such terminations, that is, final syllables in ICE, ILE, and
ITE, the » is sometimes long, though not under the accent; as in
the following words : —

Cockatrice Brig'anttne Mus'cadme Anc'hortte

Sac rifice Cal'aniine Por'cupine Ap'petite

Croc odile Col'umbine Sac'charine Bed'lamite

Cbam'omile Crys'talline Sat'urnine Car'meliU

In'fantile Incar'nadine Tur'pentine Er'emite

In'fantine Leg'atine U'terine Par'asite

As'inine Le'onine Ac'oaite Sat'ellita

a. It should be observed, however, that in each of the preced
ing words the i is evidently under a secondary accent, and there-
fore inclined to be long. — See No. 5.

14. As we have already observed, a proper accentuation of i
words is essential to their just pronunciation ; and a proper ac-
centuation can only be acquired by attending to the most correct
•peakers, and by consulting the most approved Dictionaries ; for
words are under so many influences with regard to their accent-
nation, that it is scarcely possible to lay down a rule on the sub-
ject to which numerous exceptions may not be found. The fol-
lowing rules, however (in addition to the GENERAL PRINCIPLES
which we have already explained), will be found useful to the
learner :

15. Words ending in rial, tial, tial, eian, tian, eient, tient, eeout,
ciout, tiout, lion, tion, tiate, have the accent on the preceding sylla-
ble; as

Provin'cial Physi"cian Pa'tient Confu'sion

Controversial Chris'tian Gra'cious Muta'tion

Substantial An'cient Senten'tious Ingra'tiate

16. Words ending in tty, ity, or ical, have also the accent on th»
preceding syllable ; as I

Propri'ety Insensibil'ity Astronom'ical Emphat'ical

Sati'ety Spontane'ty Categor'ical Polern'ical

17. When the termination teal is abbreviated into ie, the accent
•f the original word remains ; as

Astronom'ic Emphat'ic Harmon'ic Polem'ic

Aiigel'ic Fanat'ic Mechan'ic Specific

18. In English, as has been observed,athe favorite accent in pol-
ysyllables is on the antepenult, or last syllable but two; but in
many cases the accent has been transferred to that position from
the radical part of the word, for the greater harmony and ease of
pronunciation ; as in

An'gel Angel'ical Sa[tan Satan'ical

Har'mony Harmo'nious Sa'tire Satir'ical

Rbet'oric Bhetor'ical Vic'tory Victo'rious

19. Iu nulling simple words into a compound, there is a ten-

PRINCIPLES OF CORRECT PRONUNCIATION. 359

dency to simplify the compound as much as possible, by throwing
the accent on that syllable in which the simple words unite. Hence,
words with the following terminations hav« the accent on the ante-
penult, or last syllable but two : —

-eraey, as democ'racy
-ferom, as somniferous
-fluent, as circum 'fluent
-fluoiis, as superfluous
-gamy, as polyg'amy
-gonal, as diag'onal
-graphy, as geog'raphy
-logy, as philol'ogy
-loquy, as ventril oquy
-machy, as logom'achy

-mathy, as polym'athy
-meter, as barom'eter
-nomy, as econ'omy
-parottt, as ovip'arous
-palhy, as antip'athy
-phony, as eu'phony
-strophe, as catas'trophe
-tomy, as anat'omy
-vommu, as igniy'omous
-rormit, as omniv'orous

a. Some words are differently ACCENTED, according as they ar«
used as NOUNS or VERBS.

20. Of foreign words admitted into our language, particularly
French, there is usually a threefold pronunciation. 1. The origi-
nal or foreign pronunciation. 2. The English pronunciation. 3.
A pronunciation which is neither English nor foreign, but be-
tween the two. In this case, the middle course is not the best ;
but it is perhaps right to encourage it as a step in advance towards
an honest English pronunciation.

21. Some Greek and Latin words retain the pronunciation of *
final, though in such a position in English, it is always siLnt ; as in

Acme Catastrophe Strophe Cicerone

Apostrophe Epitome Recipe Finale

Anemone Hyperbole Simile Rationale

22. The diphthong au before n and another consonant should be
sounded like the long Italian a, as in far and father. In some
words of this class, however, it is pronounced, particularly by
persons who are ambitious of being thought to speak better than
their neighbors, like aw in awe. A VAUNT and VAUNT are perhaps
the only words of this class which should be considered as excep-
tion*.

360 BOW TO PROXOtfSCE DIFFICULT WOEDS,

A LIST OF WORDS COMMONLY MISPRONOUNCED OR
IMPERFECTLY ARTICULATED.

THE article a is slurred by most persons, being mispronounced
like an indistinct ur : a book is mispronounced ur book. The
article a should always be pronounced distinctly, like a in repeat-
ing the alphabet fast, as a, b, c, etc. When emphatic, it shouvl
be pronounced like a in repeating the alphabet slowly, as a, — b,-4
c, etc.

As should be pronounced az, not «z:

Avoid a too broad or too slender pronunciation of the vowel a,
in such words as command, glass, etc. Some persons vulgarly
pronounce the a in such words, as if it were written ar, and others
mince it so as t<~ rhyme with stand. The same observation applies
to the vowel o, which many persons pronounce as if written aw, as
caw'-i'e, instead of cof-fe, while others mince it into cuf'-te.
Equally avoid the extremes of vulgarity and affectation.

Many English people, especially Londoners, omit the aspirate

net only at the beginning of words, but after the te, as in where;

and in the middle of words, as in forehead, which they misnnr

nounce ior-td, instead of for'-Aed ; in abAor, beAold, exhaust, io-
Aabit, un-Aorse, etc. The A should always be sounded, except in
the following words, where it is silent : — Heir, heiress, heir-loom ;
herb, herbage ; honest, honesty, honestly ; honor, honorable, hon-
orably; hospital; hostler; hour, hourly; humor, humorist, hu-
morously ; and their other derivatives. The A in Aumble was»
formerly silent, but it is now aspirated. Humble-pie is an incor-
rect spelling of mnble-pie, a pie made of umbles, a plural noun,
meaning a deer's entrails.

Many persons not only omit the aspirate where it should be
sounded, but aspirate where there is no A, or where it should be
silent, as Aend for «nd, etc.

Be careful not to mistake loudness for aspiration. Hold up the
finger a few inches from your mouth, and pronounce any word
containing the A. If you aspirate you will feel the breath against
the finger, but not if you merely speak loud.

scholars, that a different accentuation to that used in ordinary
conversation, and an over-distinctness of articulation, as the pro-
nouncing e-vil for e'vl, dcv-il for dev'vl, etc., should be adopted in
solemn speech and Scripture reading, in order to impart impressive-
ness. True impre&siveness depends upon the tone, and not upon
the mere pronunciation. To be truly impressive you must be nat-
ural, expressive, and in earnest.

R

i'lris two sounds — the strong vibratory r, heard at the beginning
'of words and of syllables, as in rage, error ; and the smooth r,
which is heard at the termination of words, or when it is suc-
ceeded by a consonant. The first is formed by jarring the tongue
against the roof of the mouth, near the fore teeth ; and the second,
by a vibration of the lower part of the tongue, near the root,
against the inward region of the palate. In some parts of Ireland,
the r before the final consonant, as in card, is pronounced with
the force of the commencing r, accompanied by a strong aspira-
tion at the beginning of the letter ; whereas in England, and par-
ticularly in London, it is entirely sunk, and the word sounds as if
written caad. The Scotch frequently give it with more roughness
and clearness at the termination than at the beginning. But the
sound which they give at the commencement is not the English
terminational sound ; it is a negligent and imperfect quivering of
the first English r. In such words as thorn, worm, many of the
Scotch, as well as the Irish, sound the rn as if they formed a sepa-
rate syllable. Many persons, from indolence or inattention, in-
stead of quivering the tip of the tongue in this letter, give it n
burring sound by quivering* the epiglottis. In looking* into tlio
mouth of these persons, on desiring them to sound r, the tongue
is seen thrust behind the lower teeth ; by causing them to lift up
the tongue, balance it in the mouth, and then breathe strongly,
they will frequently at once give the true sound of the letter. The
difficulty afterwards lies in teaching the terminational r, which
they will for a time give with the old sound ; in such cases they
should use the first r, though it is harsh, and soften it gradually.

there should be pronounced thare in the other compounds, there-
from, there-in, tbere-in-to (too), there-of, etc.. all of which should
have the accent on the last syllable, except there-un-der.

To (particle or preposition) is seldom articulated as it should
be. To be is commonly pronounced tubbe; to think, ter think ;
go to him, go ter him. To should always be clearly, but not pe-
dantically, articulated. It should be pronounced like two, in
counting one, two, three, fast.

Too, the adverb, should be pronounced like two, in counting
one — two — three, slowly.

V.

Many English persons, particularly natives of London, often
substitute the sound of w for v, and v for w. To cure this, often
repeat a few words beginning with or containing the v, and bite
the under lip while sounding the v, until the letter be well pro-
nounced ; then repeat words beginning with or containing the w,
which must be pronounced by a pouting out of the lips, without
suffering them to touch the teeth. V is formed by pressing the
lower part of the upper teeth against the inside of the lower lip.

Words ending in ence and ance. — It is important to give
the pure vowel sounds of short a and short e in words ending in
ance and ence ; examples, maintenance, surveillance, tustenance, confi-
dence, Providence, etc. A common fault in the United States is tor
blur the vowel, and give it the half-sound of an indistinct short]
«, " maintenunce," surveillunce," " sustenunce," " confidunce,"i
" Providunce." The same remark is applicable to adjectives end-t
ing in ant and ent, as "providunt," "confidunt," instead of provi-
dent, confident. The cultivated speaker may always be known by
his giving attention to the accurate pronunciation of these final
syllables.

Present participles, and words ending in ing.— The
habit of slurring the terminal g in present participles and other
words ending in ing, should be carefully guarded against. Say
" going," not " goin'." " He is standing there," not " he is stand-
in'." "Good-morning," not " good-mornin'." All the present
participles, and many other words ending in ing, come within the
range of this observation.

3?6 HOW TO PRONOUNCE DIFFICULT WORDS.

Words ending in a. — The proper pronunciation of the last
syllable in all words ending in a, is as the a in father. Two errors
are of frequent occurrence. One is to drawl out the a aa if it had
anV after it. In this case the r is sounded with more force than
i.- commonly given to it in words that properly end in r. Some-
times the a is changed, and the syllable pronounced as if it ended
in cr. The other error is to pronounce the syllable as if it ended
in ie, or y. " Emma " is pronounced " Emmy." " Sarah," " Sary."
The a, with the power of the broad a in father, should be pro-
nounced very quickly.

Words ending in ar and er. — An »rror of the opposite
character is committed in the case of words ending in ar and er.
The r is often cut off, and a broad sound it given to the a, stronger
than in father, and often as strong as the a in water. " Waitah,''
"altah," "rnistah," "watah," for "waiter," "altar," "mister,"
"water." The r should always be heard in such words.

Cork, fork, curtain, morseL — Be careful to sound the r.
Do not say "cawk," " fawk," " cu'tain," "mo'sel."

Car, card, kind, and other words beginning with e or k, as
well as many beginning with g, are often given an e or y sound
that does not belong to them. As"kyar," "kyard," " kyind,"
"gyard," etc., for car, card, kind, guard, etc.

Harriet, superior, interior, etc. — In these words, and in
others in which r is followed by a y hound, we sometimes perceiv*
that it is omitted, hearing such pronunciation as "ha'yet," " supe'-
yor," "inte'yor," etc. Be careful to sound the r

While r should always be sounded when it occurs, it is not
trilled or foiled in the English as it is in other languages, or as
the Irish roll it in their brogue. " Warm " should no more be
pronounced "warrum" than " wawm." "Stormy" no more
"storrumy," than " stawmy."

Words and syllables containing ow and ou. — Avoid
the sharp nasal pronunciation of " how," " cow," " confound," and
other words containing the oio sound; as l'heow," or "h'yow,"
"keow," "confeound." The sound of this diphthong should be
formed deep in the chest, and should be pure and rotund.

U in tune, mute, etc. — The « in tune, mute, etc., has a pecu-
liar sound, which cannot be represented by any other letter, or by
any combination of letters. It must be heard. Some persons err
by sounding it like vo. Maying •• toon," "dook," J'dooty,"for "tune,"

*' duke," " duty.'1 Others make it excessively sharp, as if it had a
dj sound before it. They say " tjewn," " djewk," " djewty." Tlie
correct sound must be heard, carefully observed, and copied.

Do, to, have also a peculiar sound, which cannot be represent-
ed. It is alike distinct from the sound of '• too," and from that
of " dew.'1 This sound also must be heard, then followed.

Boot, shoot. — Do not pronounce them " bute," " shute."

Butcher. — Another difficult u sound is that in butcher. It oc-,'
curs i:i but few, if any, other words. Some pronounce it " booch- '
er;" that is a word of very different sound. The u is formed
deep ia the chest, and is made very short.

Either, neither. — A fashion sprung up in England a few
years ago, of giving to ei in these words the long sound of *', as in
eye. It has been extensively copied in the United States by cler-
gymen and others who pride themselves on precision in speech.
The proper pronunciation is with ei as e long, as in receive, grief.
That pronunciation is as old as the words ; it is sanctioned by all
lexicographers, and by the critics who have written upon the sub-
ject since the innovation came into notice.

Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper Names. — There
are no difficulties as to the pronunciation of these, since they are,
most of them, so much used in modern speech, as to have long
ago adapted themselves to the ordinary rules of English pronun-
ciation. The foregoing rules, therefore, whan applicable to this
class of words, are to have full force ; and the only particular
which requires notice here is as to their division into syllables.
It is evident that unless we divide words properly we must mar
the pronunciation. Thus Ca-to may, by improper division, be pro-
nounced Cat-o ; and a similar error may convert Mi-das into Mid-
as, So-lon into Sol-on, and so on, to the destruction of all that is
sacred in the mechanism of ancient literature. Reference to
" Webster " will give the accent of all classic names, and likewise
the proper mode of dividing them for purposes of pronunciation.
Usually the words have a full sound. The accent generally falls
late in the word, and i, e, and o, especially, are used as long
vowels.

The diphthongs se and oe, which are found only in classic words,
are l» have the sound of e. as described in connection with the
digraphs ; at is to bo sounded as our alphabetical a, and ci unlike

the sound of it in ordinary English e, must, in classic words, have
the sound of t.

C and g, before «, f, y, a, cs, must Lave their soft sounds. like s
and /; but ch in Greek words is always sounded k, and in Scrip-
ture names also, though with one or two exceptions. Ph has thc>
same sound as in English, namely, f ; while cn,ct, gn, mn,f/n, ps,pt.
ohth, tin, and other similar combinations, when they occur at the
commencement of words, drop their first letter in the pronun*
•ciation.

In all classic names the seat of accent is the important matter ;
this, with a few exceptions, is always on the last syllable but one,
or on the last but two

The termination es, in Greek proper names, should have a dis-
tinct utterance, and by giving it this, the accent will indicate itself
to both ear and tongue. For instance, we once heard an incipient
orator pronounce Hippocrates, Hip'-po-crah'-tes, and Socrates,
So-kraytes. Had the learned gentleman ever struggled for a
scholarship, or passed through the tortures of matriculation, ne
would have known that es was not to be so trifled with, but would
have given the termination its importance, thus — Hip-pock-ra-tees
Sock-ra-tees. I should not have called attention to this subject,
from a belief that the veriest tyro in book knowledge would be
well aware of the necessity of giving es its due in classic proper
names, had I not observed the deficiency, even in public speakers.
The following instances will suffice to place the reader on his
guard, and serve as keys to the pronunciation of names having
this termination — Pericles, Perry-klees; Socrates, Sock' -ra- tees' ;
Thucydides, Thu-sid'-i-dees'; P-raxitiles, Pracks-it'-i-lees ; Harmoni-
des, Har-mon'-i-dees' ; Simonides, Sigh-mon'-i-dees'.

Foreign Names of Persons and Places. — Continental
languages have an almost uniform alphabet, and the sounds of the
vowels are as nearly as possible identical in each separate tongue.
A is usually sounded like our a in ah, or the second a in afar. It
has, however, its sound of a as in may, in all continental languages,
but this sound occurs very seldom. E has the sound usually of a
in way, and 'sometimes a shortened sound, approaching to er, made
by curling over and pressing the tongue against the lower palate,
at the same time breathing outward. The vowel i has almost in-
variably the sound of e ; o maintains its English sound of o, as in
•r, but has occasionally the sound of oo; in Italian it has the dis-

WORDS MISPRONOUNCED. 379

tlnct sounds of o as in so, and aw in saw. The u in French has a
delicate sound, the lips being compressed ; but in Italian it inva-
riably bears the full sound of oo; as, Luisa, -pronounced Loo-e-zah.

With respect to the consonants, their sound, generally speaking,
is the same in all European languages, and little hazard will be
incurred by adhering in this respect to English custom. Among
the exceptions is th, which, on the Continent, is usually sounded-
as t simply. Thus the French name BerthoUet is sounded Dare'*
tol-lay'. X is often sounded as a, or ce, as in Aix-la-chapelle)
Ace'-la-sha-pel. The French nasal sound of n it is sometimes
proper to retain, as in Nantes, Nongt, the Simplon, Sang'-plong ;
and sometintes to sink the nasal sound, as in Lyons, Orleans, which
two words, and many others, easily receive a purely English pro-
nunciation. It must be confessed that this point is ve^j" doubtful,
as in the word Ghent, which some call Gongt, and others Guent.
Similar remarks apply to Caen (the place in Normandy), which
some call Gang, and others Ca-en. The last syllable in JElboeuf,
has its diphthong sounded with a medium between the English u
in buff, and the oo in roof. If the reader will curl up the tongue
against the lower palate, and the inner side of the lower front
teeth, and breathe outward, this sound may easily be produced.
In La Saone, the oo have the sound of long o, and so have the
the eaux in Bordeaux ; while in Bruxelles the x is sounded as *.

In Boulogne the concluding sounds are oin, with a sound as of
y consonant added. With regard to Italian, the c always has the
sound of tch before e and i; and of Jc before a, o, u, or any other
letter. G is soft before e and i, and hard before all other letters,
except I or m. J always has the sound of « or y; Ajaccio is pro-
nounced A-yat-che-o. G before 1 or n takes the sound of y after
it, as in Bentivoglio, Benli-vo-lt-yo. In Spanish, the y is sounded
as in Italian.

Double consonants in Italian must always be both sounded : as
Machiavelli, Ma-kee-a-vel-ee. When two ffs, or two c» come to-
gether, the first always alters the sound of the second : thus Guic-
ciardini is pronounced Gwitch-tche-ar-de-ne. In this beautiful
language there are no diphthongs. Every vowel has its own clear
Bound, however many may occur together, as calzolaio is cal-tzo-
xah-eo. The only approach to a diphthong which this languag*
contains is in do and gia.

often in newspaper reading, they mingle so much in our every-day
conversation, that we feel it a duty to offer a few plain instruc-
tions on this head.

There are some few sounds so common to the French, that every
one not acquainted with the language should at least "know the
correct utterance of these few. The article le (the) is pronounced
Iff ; the article la (the) lah; and the indefinite articles ttn and une,
'as nearly as possible as they are written. The plural let is pro-
nounced lay before a consonant, and lays before a vowel. lie (of)
is pronounced der ; and des, day before a consonant, and days be-
fore a vowel.

We have already given, in the above quotations, a sufficiently
clear account of the sound of the French vowels. There are, how-
ever, a few combinations that require notice. The most impor-
tant of these is oi, as in nun, me, pronounced mtcor ; moucko'r,
handkerchief, mottschtcor ; Vive le Roi, Veev ler Jticor, long live the
King. »

Another important compound is au, which has the sound of o ;
or when united to x, and followed by a vowel, ose. The e having
the sound of our'a, and m and n having a nasal twang, causes the
pronunciation of some words to be very difficult to a novice ;
for instance, the M. Druon de L'huys will be pronounced Mong-
senur Droo-on» der Lwees. In addressing titled personages the
French say Monseigneur, instead of the ordinary Monsieur ; the
latter is pronounced short Mongsur, and so much abbreviated by
the tongue and rapidity of utterance, that it is almost impossi-
ble to place the sound on paper. The nasal sound must, how-
ever, not pass through the nose, but rest in it ; and the g must not
'/be fully uttered.

In verbs of the third person plural, the ent with which they usu-
ally terminate is always mute. The consonant r must be trilled
freely at all times.

In sounding u or eu, the mouth should be contracted as if for
whistling, so as to accomplish a sound between our u and oo.
Thus Monifcur is pronounced, as nearly as possible, mon-e-tur,
amateur, generally pronounced am-a-tew-er, should be am-a-tur.
Where ai occurs as a compound vowel, i has the sound of our a,
with a minute dash of » in it — so minute, however, as to be but
scarcely perceptible.

Terminal consonants are usually mute; as, for instance, St.

WORDS MISPRONOUNCED. 381

Arnaud is pronounced Sannarno — Charngarnicr, Shattgarneay — >
Anglais, JLur.glay — Canrobcrt, Kangnoarc — Pellissier, Pel-leect-ce-ay^
etc. When the article le or la ij abbreviated, as it always is be-
fore a vowel or silent h, it combines with the word to which it is
attached, thus V Emperor — the emperor — is pronounced laungp'rer.
French words have no decided accent ; and where the reader is at
a loss, he must give the accent as if it were an English word.

Italian Names. — The Italian language is the most musical
of any in the world. It is like the f o;ig of the nightingale ren-
dered into syllables. Hence it is easy of utterance : there are
no harsh gutturals, such as perplex us in German and Dutch, and
which hare been humorously described as compounded of a cough,
a sneeze, a hiccough, and a husk of barley in the throat. The
vowel a has two sounds, one of which, at the end of words, is
sharp, and the vowel *' the full sound of the English e. The Italian
vowels are said to represent the seven notes in music, a, a, e, i, o,
6, u, having the graduations of do, re, mi, fa, sul, la, ci. The con-
sonant-compounds are not difficult; zz has the sound of fe, and
serves to break the syllables, as in Alazzini, pronounced Mat-zee-
ne ; Peitalozzi, Pes'-ta-lot-ze. In a general sense, the correct pro-
nunciation of Italian names is very easy, the great point being to
give the syllables, vowels, and double consonants their full music
and distinctness.

German Names. — The pronunciation of German is exceed-
ingly simple. " The rule is," says Mr. Lebahn, " to speak it as it
is written, and to write as it is spoken." The sounds are mostly
the same as the French, though their uses and combinations vary.
The frequent occurrence of the long vowel, as ii, 6, u, is a striking
peculiarity. "When a occurs long, with the dierassis, its sound is
the same as our a in hay. Otherwise the sound of a in German is
broad, like our a in cart. The 0, when so made long, has just the
Bame sound as our u in purse ; hence, Carl Theodor Korner is pro-
nounced Carl Ta-o-dor Kur-ner ; th, as before explained, being
equivalent to t in English. How many thousand blunders have
been made over those well-known names, Schiller and Goethe,
names, of all others, most easily pronounced when the rule is
once made plain. We have heard the first converted into Skiller,
and the second into Gurthey, Go-e-the, and Goat. The ce is
equivalent to 6, and hence, if we proceed in the same way as in
the KOrner, we shall have Gur-e-tay, a very slight trill of the t

-32 HOW TO PEON OUNCE DIFFICULT WOEDS.

giving it the roughness with which a German utters such word*.
Schiller is pronounced exactly as it is written, and sch has always
a soft sound, exactly the same as in English. Ng has the sound
of nk, and M generally that of oo. The consonant v is equivalent
to f, and w to v, while j is used precisely as we use y when a
consonant.

The great terror of all Americans, however, is the German ch.
Irhis is described by Mr. Smart as being sounded in the same way
as the English k. This is an error ; for although those who can-
not easily accomplish it may fall back on k, yet the German sound
of ch has but little resemblance to k in English. Mr. Lebahn pro-
poses not to consider ch " as a letter at all, but merely as a loud
breathing." However bold this assertion may appear, still, fre-
quent trials have proved its accuracy. " For Instance, if you are
to pronounce ich, pronounce the i with the short sound of ef. then
push a loud breath through the upper teeth, but be not con-
founded by the c or ch, which is not to be considered at all, nor
is the breath to be interrupted, but joined to the ee, and ich will
be correctly pronounced." We advise the reader to practice this,
as ch occurs so frequently in German names and in ordinary news-
paper reading, that to slur it over, or halt before the word, has
an illiterate appearance, and greatly reduces the pleasure of read-
ing and conversation. The vowel compounds ie and ei are sounded
respectively like e in bee, and like y in my. The second vowel of
the two has its full English sound, the other remaining mute.
The vowel combination eu or aeu has the sound of of in oil, and
of a broad, has a slight sound, but scarcely so much as to give it
the character of a syllable. Au has always the sound of ow.

Dutch Names come within the scope of what has been said as to
German names, though with a few exceptions ; uy has the sound
of oo, as Zuy-der-zee, pronounced Zoo-der-zee ; the consonant t be-
comes d in sound, and ch is the same guttural aspirate as in the
German.

Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian come within the rules first laid
down.

you," or it is probable," or "possibly I shall go with you."

4^0 SLA2TG AND VULGAR PHRASES.

Zooks, Adzooks.— Gods hooka, that is, the hooks which were
supposed to have been used for the same purpose.

Zounds ! an interjection of frequent occurrence in English
novels, is a curtailment and corruption of His wounds, or God's
wounds, that is, the wounds received by Christ on the cross.

Neck-handkerchief. — Say neck-kerchief. A neck-kerchief is
a kerchief for the neck, as a hand-kerchief is a kerchief for the,-
hand. A neck-handkerchief does not exist.

Luck. — 'lie met with luck." Say also -what kind of luck.
There are good luck and bad luck. But the adjective lutky, and
the adverb luckily refer to the good kind only.

Cannot. — When inability is expressed can and not are joined
as above. In this case the adverb not qualifies can, and does not
qualify any other word. Sometimes not follows can without qual-
ifying it, but passes its force to some succeeding word, and some
other meaning than that of inability is given. Then it is not
joined to can. " John can not only swim ; he can also row, and
knows how to manage a sail."

Confusion of rights. — " The Americans said they had no
tight to pay the taxes." " That they were under no obligation,"
or " ought not to be obliged to pay the taxes," was meant. So,
the aggrieved person in a carriage, who was stopped, by a pro-
cession, and said " the street cars have as much right to be stopped
as the carriages," meant that they ought to be as liable to be
stopped, or that <; the carriages have as much right to go on as
the street cars."

Wero accustomed to be made. — There are a variety of
errors of similar form to this and frequent in occurrence. In a
report of a sermon by an eminent divine, we have, " The repre-
sentations that were accustomed to be made." He should hav«
said " representations that were ordinarily made," or that " it waa
the custom to make."

Was attempted to be. — A newspaper paragraph had, " the
government was attempted to be attacked," for " an attempt was
made to attack and government." Carlyle commits tho same
error, saying ''weights and measures were attempted to be
changed."

Bills are requested. — " Bills are requested to be paid quar-
terly." It is hard enough to make the persons who owe the bills
pay them when they are requested to. Say " it is requested that

bills be paid quarterly," or better, "payment of bills is
or expected, quarterly."

Wot requested to, for requested not to. Requests hsre beett
sometimes made in a left-handed manner, as follows : " Passengers
are not requested to stand on the gangway." Say " passengers
are requested not to stand," etc.

Means is either singular or plural, according to the sense of
the sentence. " By this means they bear witr/vss to each other,"—

mean for the singular is incorrect.

One of the family. — '•' Wanted, two aporenticep, who wil)
be treated as one of the family." Say " will be treated as mem-
bers of the family."

Mr. Pecksniff and Wile. — A person travelling -with his wife
in registering at the hotels should write, " Mr. Pecksniff an<?
wife," not " Mr. Pecksniff and lady," as is too often written. The
wife has a right to her true title and dignity in all places and on
all occasions. One may travel with a lady who is not his wife.
Ooe who travels with his wife and respects her as he should,
should leave no room for doubts.

Gentleman friend, lady friend. — Instead of "my gentle-
man friend," say " my frienl Mr. Handy.'1 Instead of "my lady
friend," say " my friend Miss Smith, or Mrs. Crooks."

Old Gentleman, Old lady.— The terms old man, old woman,
though there is nothing essentially wrong in them, have come to
be considered vulgar and disrespectful. Almost universal usage
is against employing them, and favors old gentleman, oldlady. These
are therefore the correct terms.

Such expressions a*, " I do not like too much sugar," " I
do not want to walk too far." are indefinite. They mean, " I do
not like more sugar than I like," " I do not want to walk further
than I like."

Brilliant, magnificent, splendid, are too often used ia

connection with objects which have none of those qualities. That
is brilliant which glitters and sparkles in the li^ht. That is gplendld
which shines, whether by its own or reflected light. That is
magnificent which makes a grand appearance. It may be splendid
and brilliant too. What does not sparkle cannot be brilliant, ex-
cept figuratively ; what does not shine cannot be splendid ; what
does not impose by grandeur cannot be magnificent. There are
numerous words which may be employed with exact application
in the cases in which these words are improperly used. Pretty,
handsome, beautiful, elegant, will answer for most purposes. When
such words — the proper ones — are used, they leave the stronger
words with their full force to characterize objects which having
extraordinary qualities, require more than ordinary words of des»
cription.

Charming, enchanting, fascinating, and many other
words are similarly misused. That is charming which charms ;
that is enchanting which enchants; that is fascinating which fascin-
ates. Each of the terms indicates the possession or exercise by
the object spoken of, of qualities which deprive one of control of
himself.

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

433

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

e*, In the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with
another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate n;:;l
equal station to which the laws of , Mature and Nature's God entitles thru;,
a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should de-
clare the causes which impel them to tlie separation.

We hold these truths to he self-evident: that all men are created equai ;
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights;
that among tljeso are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to
secure those rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the governed : that whenever any form of
government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people
to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foun-
dation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form as ta
them shall seem most likely to effect, their safety and happiness. Prudence,
indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed
for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown,
that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than
to right themselves, by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably tho
same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it
is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide
new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferanco
of these colonies, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to
alter their former systems of government. Tho history of the present king
of Great Britain is a- history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having
in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyrnnny'over these States.
To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world:

lie has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for
the public good.

He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing
importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should ba
obtained; and when so suspended, ho has utterly neglected to attend to
them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of largo
districts of people, unless those people would relinquish tlio riLrlit of repre-
sentation in the legislature — a right inestimable to them, and formidable to
tyrants only.

lie has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfort-
able, and distant from the repository of the public records, for tho sole
purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly for opposing, with
manly firmness, his invasions on tho rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time after such dissolution to cause others to
be elected; whereby tho legislative powers, incapable of annihilation. hav«
returned to_ the people at large for their exercise, the State remaining, in
the mean time, exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without and
convulsions within.

He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States ; for that
purpose obstructing the laws of naturalization of foreigners: refusing to
pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions
of new appropriations ^>f lands.

He has obstructed tha administration of justice by refusing his assent to
laws for establishing judiciary powers.

He has made judsres dependent on his will alone for tho tenure of their
offices and the amount and payment of their salaries,

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of
officers to harass our people, and cat out their substance.

He has kept among us. in times of peace, standing armies, Ivithout the
consent of our legislatnres.

He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to
the civil power.

434 DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

He has combined with others to subject ns to a jurisdiction foreign to
omr Constitution, and unacknowledged by oui'lawsj giving his assent to
their acts of pretended legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among ns:

For protecting them by a mock trial from pniiishment for any murders
which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing taxes on us without our consent :

For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:

For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province,
establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its lu'mu'iiric-p,
BO as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the
eame absolute rule into these colonies:

For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and
altering, fundamentally, the forms of our poverjimeiit:

For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested
with power to legislate for iw in nil cases whatsoever.

lie has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his protection,
and waging war against us.

lie has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and
destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to
complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny already begun, with
circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most bar-
barous ages, and totally unworthy tlio Lead of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken captive on the high seas,
to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their
friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.

Ho has excited domestic insurrections among us, and has endeavored to
bring on the inhabitants of onr frontiers the merciless Indian savages,
•whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages,
sexes, and conditions.

In every staire of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in
the most humble terms; our repeated petitions have been answered only
by repeated injury. A prince whose character is thus marked by every
act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. "Wo
have warned them, from time to time, of attempts by their legislature to
extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over ns. "We have reminded them
of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. "We have
appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured
them by the ties of onr common kindred to disavow these usurpations,
which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.
They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity. "We
must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation,
and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace
friends.

"We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in
General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world
for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of
the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these
United Colonies are, and of ricrlit ought to be, free and independent States;
that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all
political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is. nnd
ought to be, totally dissolved ; and that, as free and independent States,
they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, estab-
lish' commerce, and to do all other acts and thin'rs'Vhich independent States
may of light do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm
reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge U
each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

banners a rattlesnake, cut in thirteen pieces, representing the thirteen
colonies, witli the motto, "Join, or die.'' When these colonies became more
united in their purposes of resistance to British tyranny, they placed upon
their flag a well-formed rattlesnake, in. the attitude of about to strike, with
the motto, "Don't tread on me."

Dr. Franklin, seeing this emblem on one of the drums of that day, writes
as follows: "On inquiry, and from study, I learned that the ancients con-
sidered the serpent an emblem of wisdom ; and, in some attitudes, of endless
duration. Also, that countries are often represented by animals peculiar
to that couuU-y. TIio rattlesnake is found uuwLere but iu America. He!

eye la exceedingly bright, and without eyelids,— emblem of vigilance. She
never begins an attack, and she never surrenders, — emblem of magnanimity
and courage. She never wounds even her enemies, till she generously gives
them warning not to tread on her. — which is emblematical of the spirit of
the people who inhabit her country. She appears apparently weak and
defenceless, but her weapons are nevertheless formidable. Her poison is
the necessary means for the digestion of her food, but certain destruction
to her enemies. — showing the power of American resources. Her thirteen
rattles, the only part which increases in number, are distinct from each
other, and yet so united that they can not be disconnected without breaking
them to pieces, — showing the impossibility of an American Republic with-
out a Union of States. A single rattle will give no sound alone, but the
ringing of the thirteen together is sufficient to startle the boldest man
alive. She is beautiful in youth, which increaseth with her age. Her
tongue is forked, as the lightning; and her abode is among the impen-
etrable rocks."

The next form of the United States Flag was the Stars and Stripes. Its
proportions are perfect, when properly made, — the first and last stripe
oeiug red, with alternate stripes of white. The blue field, for the stars, is
the square of the width of seven stripes.

On the 14th of June, 1777, the Continental Congress resolved, "that the
flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, and
that the Union be thirteen white stars on a blue field, representing a new
Constellation." Previous to this, our national banner was the Union flag,
combining the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew.

The Stars and Stripes were unfurled, for the first time, at the battle of
Saratoga, on the occasion of the surrender of General Burgoyne.

The Stars of the flag represent the idea taken from the Constellation
Lyra, which signifies harmony. The blue of the field was taken from the
banner of the Covenanters of Scotland, likewise significant of the league
and covenant of the United Colonies against oppression, and incidentally
involving vigilance, perseverance, and justice. The stars were disposed
in a circle, svmbolizing the perpetuity of the Union, the circle being the
sign of eternity. Bo'.h the thirteen stripes and the stars showed the num-
ber of the United Colonies, and denoted the subordination of the States to,
and their dependence upon, the Union, as well as equality among them-
selves. ' The whole was a blending of the previous banners, namely, the
red flag of the army and white one of the navy. The red color, which in
the days of Roman glory was the signal of defiance, denoted daring, and
the white purity.

On the 13th (if January, 1794, by en act of Congress, the flag was altered
to fifteen red and white stripes, and fifteen stars. On the 4th of April. 1S19,
Congress again altered the flag by r; turning to the original thirteen stripes
and fifteen stars, as the adding of a new stripe for each additional State
wonld soon make the flag too unwieldy. The new star is added to the flag
(iq vhe 4i.ii of July following the admission of each State into the Union.

NOTE.— Numerous variations in the Presidential vote are fonod in the different table" published.
One principal source ot discrepancy is in taking the vole for different Electors, of either party. aj
^presenting the vote Tor President. As the votes for Electors vary greatly, some tables taks
the highest rote cast for any one Elector; others, the highest cast for any Elector-at-large; aud
•them still, the average vote cast for all the Electors of each party.

1. In Louisiana, two Republican Electoral tickets were voted for: the regular Republican, and
the Beat tie, or Grant Republican. The latter received about 9,740 votes, not enumerate.! above.

2. In Maine, the Hancock Electoral ticket was styled "Fusion" containing 3 Democrat!;. and
4 Greenback El'ctors. Besides this, a "Straight" Greenback El«ctoral ticket was voted fur,
with Weaver's name at the head.

S. The above vote in Nevada and Tennessee la from the State Officers. Giber statements vary
largely in the vote of both parties.

4. The footings in Texas are correct, as rendered to the Secretary of State, bat three Counties
made no return of votes for President (Demon. Galvinon and McMihcnj. If then-cast as many
»' -es for Electors as for Governor, it would increase Hancock's vote in the State, 5,820, «o.J

454 PUBLIO LANDS OP THE UNITED STATES.

PUBLIC LANDS OF THE UNITED STATES.

TITE public lands of the United States -which arc still undisposed of and
open to settlement lie in nineteen States and eight Territories. In each
case, — except Oiiio, Indiana, and Illinois, — hind offices are established, in
charge of an officer known as Register of the Laud Office, where the records
of sllsurveyed lands are kept, and all applications concerning lands in e;icli
district are filed and inquiries answered. The public lands are divided into
two great classes. The one class has a dollar and a quarter an acre desig-
nated as the minimum price, and the other two dollars and a half an acre.
Titles to these lauds may bo acquired by private entry or location under
the homestead, pre-emption, and timber-culture laws; or. as to some classes,
by purchase for cash, in the case of lands which may be purchased at pri-
vate sale, or such as have not been reserved under any law. Such tracts
are sold on application to the Land Register, who issues a certificate of pur-
chase, the Receiver giving a receipt for the money paid, subject to the issue
of a patent, or complete title, if the proceedings are found regular, by the
Commissioner of the General Laud Office at Washington.

Entries und<;r land warrants (given mostly for military services, under
acts of Congress,) have fallen oft very largely by the absorption of such
•warrants, tliere having been 110 military bounty land warrants provided for
on account of services in the late civil war.

Entries under the pre-emption law are restricted to heads of families, or
citizens over twenty-one, who may settle upon any quarter-section (or 160
acres), and have the right of prior claim to purchase, on complying with
certain regulations.

The homestead laws give the right to one hundred and sixty acres of a1
dollar and a quarter lands, or to eighty acres of two dollar and a half lands, |
to any citizen orapplicant for citizenship over twenty -one who will actually,
settle upon and cultivate the land. This privilege extends only to the aur-'
veyed lands, and the title is perfected by the issue of a patent after five
years of actual settlement. The only charges in the case of homestead
entiles are fees and commissions, varying from a minimum of $7 to a max-
imum of $22 for the whole tract entered, according to the size, value, or
place of record.

Another large class of free entries of public lands is that provided for
under the timber-culture acts of 1873-78. The purpose of these laws is to
promote the growth of forest trees on the public hinds. They give the light
to any settler who has cultivated for two years as much as five acres in
trees, to an eighty-acre homestead ; or if ten acres, to a homestead of one
hundred and sixty acres; and a free patent for his land is given him at the
end of three years, instead of five. The limitation of thenomestead laws
to one hundred and sixty acres for each settler is extended in the case of
timber-culture, so as to grant as many quarter-sections of one hundred and
sixty acres each as have been improved by the culture for ten years of forty
acres of timber thereon, but the quarter-sections must not lie" immediately
contiguous. The following is the complete list of United States laud
offices: —

FREE HOMESTEADS ON THE PUBLIC LANDS.

THE fact is not so widely known as it should be, that any one willing to
vork ean secure a farm on the public domain of the United States, free of
cost.

By our present laws, any citizen or applicant for citizenship, over
twenty-one years of age, may enter one quarter-section (that is, ICO acres)
of any unappropriated public lauds, which are subject to pre-emption at

each person availing himself or herself of its benefits must mako affidavit
before the Register of the Land Office of the district in which the entry is
to be made, that he or she is the head of a family, or else twenty-one years
of age. The affidavit must also set forth that the land entered is for the
exclusive use and benefit of the applicant, and for the purpose of nctual
settlement and cultivation, and not either directly or indirectly for the uso
or benefit of any other person.

The applicant under the Homestead Law must pay the sum of ten dollars
en filing his affidavit with the Register, and is thereupon permitted to enter
the 160 acres, or £0 acres on payment of five dollars, as the case may be.
But no certificate is given or patent issued for the land until the expiration
ef five years from the date of the entry above provided for. If, at the ex-
piration of five years, or at any time within two years thereafter, the person
making such entry, or his direct heirs, shall prove by two credible witnesses
that he, she, or they have resided upon and cultivated the land for five
years immediately following the date of its original entry, and shall rnake
affidavit that nc part of the land has been alienated, then the settler is en-
tied to the issue of a patent for the land, without further delay. Q'his patent
is a valid title from the United States; and those who have earned it by
actual residence and cultivation of the land during the full term of five
years have nothing to pay, except the original ten dollars for ICO acres, or
five dollars for an 80-acre homestead. Any one who chooses to complete
Ilia title before the expiration of the five years, with a view to sell or re-
move, can do so only by payment to the United States of the valuation-price
of the hind, at $1.25 or $2.50 per acre, as the case may be. But he has at all
times the prior riuht to do this, and so become full owner of the land he
Las settled, as ngaiiiat any other person.

There is a proviso in the law that no lands acquired under the provisions
of the Homestead Act shall be liable for any debts of the settler, contracted
prior to the issuing of the patent for his homestead.

There is another proviso, intended to guard the interests of the Govern-
ment, and compel all pre.emptors of public lauds to act in good faith, whirb

THE CANALS OF THE UNITED STATES, ETC.

declares that if, at any time after the filing of the required affidavit, and
before the expiration of the five years' probationary residence, the pre-
cmptor shall change his residence, or abandon the land for more than six
months at any time, then the land shall revert to the United States Gov-
ernment. Xo individual is permitted to acquire more than ICO acres under
the provisions of the llomesteatl Act; but there is no limit to the quantity
of land which may be purchased by individuals. All existing pre-emption
rights arc maintained unimpaired by the provisions of the act.

The five years' residence required of all other settlers under the Home-
•tead Law is waived in favor of nil soldiers or sailors who served imi> t.v
days or longer in the United States army or navy during the war of 18C1-C5,
nnd were honorably discharged. Every such soldier (or his widow, or chil-
dren, ia case of his decease.) is entitled to free entry of ICO acres of the'
public lauds on condition of actual residence and cultivation of the sauio
for one year only.

Any settler on the public lands who has set out and cultivated for two
years as much as five acres of trees on an 80-acre homestead, or ten acres
on a homestead of ICO acres, is entitled to receive a free patent for his land
at the end of three years, instead ef five. And any person who has planted
and cultivated for ten years forty acres of timber on any quarter-section of
the public lauds is entitled to a patent for each 1(»0 acres so improved, on
payment of ? 10. provided that only one quarter in any section shall be thus
pranted. This is the only exception to the limitation of free homesteads to
100 acres to any one person, unless in the case of a settler under the army
provision, who is not debarred, through having occupied a homestead
under the law previously, from acquiring a second 1C8 acres through hia
service in, the army.

OCCUPATIONS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.

THE tables of the census of 1870 exhibit interesting statistics on the
employments which divide the industry of our people. The population of
the United States over ten years of age was shown to amount to 28,225,945,
of which number 14,258,866 were males. There were returned as engaged
in all classes of occupations a total of 12,505,923, of which number 10.CG9.635
were males, and l,S>o,288 females. In the census of occupations it will be
seen that by far the greater number of inhabitants over ten years of age
were returned as engaged in some class of labor. Grouping the results of
the more detailed table of diversified occupations, it is shown that they
were distributed in the following four great classeo of occupations,
namely :—

Engaged in A gricultnre 5,922,471

Engaged in Manufactures and Mechanical and Mining Industries, 2,707,421

Engaged in Professional and Personal Services 2,084,793

Engaged in Trade and Transportation 1,191,238

Total 12,505,923

It will be seen that the pursuits of agriculture occupy 40.31 per cent, or
something less than half the population; manufacturing industries, 21.64
per cent of all classes of occupations; professional and personal services,
21.46 per cent; and trade and transportation 9.53 pur cent of the whole, Of
less than one tenth.

AMERICAN PETROLEUM.

Twenty years ago this article was little known. The first artificial -well
•was snnk in August, 1859. Now there is an annual production in this
country of about 15,000,000 barrels (600,000.000 gallons), and from S40,000,00i
to $60,000,000 worth is exported to other countries annually, — our export*
ranging in importance, according to valuation — first, cotton; second, flour
and grain; third, hog products (lard, hams, and salt pork); and fourth, pe-
tnoleiiin. -There are more 41 tan 10.000 oil-wells flowing or being sunk, and
probably over 810.000.000 invested In the business, in one way and another.
Fifteen million barrels (forty gallons to a barrel) of this oil would fill
9,600,000.000 lamps holding half a pint each, or about seven such lamps for
every man, woman, and child on our globe. All this has come to light, from
the bowels of the earth, in less than twenty years, during which time we
have not onlv used all the petrolr-nm we have wanted ourselves, but have
?eut to other lands nearly $500,000,000 worth, at the custom-house valuation.

472 EVOLVENT AND ASSIGNMENT LAWS.

by proving his claim against the estate of the debtor. In the absence of
statutes, assignments 01 property for the benefit of creditors are valid, even
though they provide for preferences, and for the release of tbe debtor by
creditors taking the benefit, of them. An involuntary assignment, under
the laws of one State, of choses iii action and other property, in another, is
cot good against attaching creditors in the second State. A voluntary

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

WEIGHTS AETD MEASURES OF THE UNITED STATES A1TD
' OTHEE COTJNTEIES.

Congress adopted the decimal system in tlie subdivision of moneys. In
1836 a law was passed for regulating the Weights and Measures of the
Union, by which the Secretary of the Treasury was directed to supply
standards of weights, of length, and of capacity, according to the standards
of Great Britain, to the Governors of States and revenue-collectors. Mr.
John Quiucy Adams had reported, in 1821, in favor of the British standards,
because they were in general use, and a change to the decimal principle, as
had been effected in France, would be attended with great embarrassment.
The measure of time and circular motion is the same iu America and Eu-
rope. The Troy weight of England was adopted iu the United States for
•weighing coin aud bullion. Our apothecaries compound their medicines by
the Troy pound aud a subdivision of their own. The Avoirduimis weight
used in England is also our legal standard for weighing all other articles
bought or sold by weight. The British and the United Stales statute acre,
sq. yard, sq. foot, and sq. inch, and the mile, yard, foot, and inch are the
same.

Congress retains the old English wino gallon as a measure for liquids,
and the Winchester bushel fur grain, &c., but England has abandoned both,
and substituted what she terms the imperial measure, whether for wines,
beer, other liquids, or dry goods sold by measure. Her imperial gallon is
exactly 1 l-5tb of ourwiue gallon, and measures 277,274 solid incurs: our
"Winchester gallon, abandoned by her, measuring 2G8.8, or about t?J cubic
inches less; her new bushel is equal to 1.032 of ours. Heaped measure was
abolished by law in Scotland two hundred years ago, though not always in
practice. McCuIloch calls it a barbarous custom. England recognizes it
in recent laws, and the United States have sometimes ordered duties to be
collected by it.

(U. S.) TitOY WEICUT. — 04 grains make 1 pennyweight ; 20 pennyweights,
1 ounce; 12 ounces, 1 pound, lib Troy is to lib Avoirdupois as 144 is to

a ton. In the State of New York, unless by special bargain. 2.CCO Ibs. are a
ton. Sales by the p^Jtind are the most common ; nothiug is sold by the cwt.
of 112 Ibs. In Avoirdupois, 7 Ibs. make 1 clove of wool, and 14 Ibs. 1 stone.
A pack of wool is 240 Ibs. In Ohio, when sales are made by the bnshel,
without a special agreement, the following are the legal weights of a bushel:
"Wheat, 60 Ibs.; Indian cern, 56; barley, 48; oats, 39; rye, 56; flax-seed, 56;
clover-seed, 64. Corn is usually sold 'in the Western 'States 56 Ibs. to the
bushel. In Boston, 53 Ibs. to the bushel of Western corn.

In freights, a ton (by the rules of the Xew York Chamber of Commerce)
is composed of 8 barrels of flour: 22 bushels pf grain, peas, or beans, in casks;
36 bushels of grain in bulk, or European salt; 31 bushels W. I. salt; 6 bar-

(U. S.) I)!IY, ore "WINCHESTER MEASURE. — 4 gills, 1 pint = 33.6 cnbio
inches = 0.55053 Trench litres; 2 pints, 1 quart = 67 2-5 cub. in. = 1.10106
litres; 4 quarts, 1 gallon = %JG8. 8 cub. in. = 4.40424 litres; 2 gallons, 1 peck =
537.C cub. in. = 8.80848 litres ; 4 pecks, 1 bushel = 2150.42 cub. in. = 35.23393
litres; 5 quarters, 1 wey or load.

\ The "Winchester bushel is 16i inches -wide and 8 inches deep; it contains
2150 2-5 solid inches, being 47 1-5 less than the imperial bushel. Of wheat
the bushel is CO Ibs. The barrel of flour contains 5 Winchester bu.sbelE,
and weighs, net, 190 Ibs. The barrel of Indian corn contains 3J bushels.
The weight of a gallon of molasses is usually 11 Ibs., but sometimes 10 or 12-

BRITISH IMPERIAL (XEW) STANDARD ^MEASURE, COMPARED WITH WINCHES-
TER AND WIXE MEASURES. — Our extensive dealings with England make it
useful for business men to have an explanation of the difference between
the imperial measure for liquids and dry goods and our Winchester and
wine measures, which latter were formerly used in England. It is greatly
to be desired that uniform weights, measures, and coins may soon be used
all over the world.

The English coal bushel was n quart larger than onr Winchester; bnS
Belling coal by measure caused such extensive frauds that it was abolished.
It is now sold in Great Britain by weight only.

By the imperial -standard, adopted in England in 1825, 1 gill is = to 8.665
solid inches; 4 gills = 1 pint; 2 pints, 1 quart; 4 quarts. 1 gallon, or 277.274
solid inches; 2 gallons, 1 peck; 4 pecks, 1 bushel, or 2218.192 inches; 4 bush-
els are 1 coom ; 2 cooms (8 bushels), 1 quarter.

The quarter of wheat ia equal to the quarter of a ton of 2.240 Ibs. = 560
Ibs.; 70 Ibs. in weight are an English bushel of wheat, while 60 Ibs. of wheat
make our bushel; so that the United States wheat bushel is just 6-7ths of
the English, or imperial; and a quarter of wheat in England is equal to
9J bushels in the United States.

The United States grain gallon measures 208.8 solid inches; the wine
gallon, 231 inches; the imperial measures 277J in.; 36 of our wine gallons
are very nearly equal to 30 imperial gallons. The obsolete English ale and
beer gallon measured 282 cubic inches.

The imperial standard gallon is a measure that will hold 10 Ibs. Avoir-
dupois of pure (distilled) water, weighed in air at G2 deg. Fahrenheit, the
barometer being at 30 degrees.

This is the iinit standard, in Great Britain, of capacity for liquids, ale,
beer, wine, spirits, and dry goods not measured by heaped measure. OUT
Winchester gallon weighs 9 Ibs. 10 oz. and 1 J drachms of pure water.

HOW INTEREST INCREASES.

Very few persons hare figured on the difference between six nnd eight
percent. One dollar loaned for one hundred years at six per cent, with
the interest collected annually and added to the principal, will amount to
$340. At ei;:ht per cent it amounts to $2.203. or nearly seven times as much.
At three percent, the usual rate, of interest in England, it amounts to £ 19.2.";
whereas at ten per cents which has been a very common rate in the United
States, it is $13,809, or about seven hundred times ns much. At twelve
per cent it amounts to $84.075. or more than four thousand times as much.
At eighteen percent it amounts to $15.145.007. At twenty-four per cent
(which we sometimes hear talked of) it reaches the enormous sum of
$2,551,790,404.

HOW TO CONDUCT PUBLIC MEETINGS. 547

BOW TO ORGANIZE AND CONDUCT PUB-
LIC MEETINGS.

Every American believes that it is an inherent right in citi-
zens to meet, organize, and then discuss any subject that they
may deem fit to direct their attention to. To conduct such
meetings so as to avoid confusion, and consequent disturb-
ance, there is an unwritten law which every sensible man is
•willing to obey, and expects every other man to bow to.
These rules are not enforced by any statute, but are the wise
precedents worked out from time to time by our ancestors
either in the old world or in the new. The British Parliament
and the American Congress follow the same rules, with such
slight deviations as the different forms of government demand.
It matters not whether the persons meet to form a church or
elect a president, the first requirement for success is that all
should be done decently and in order. Any member can call
a meeting to order by nominating a temporary chairman, who,
if elected by an unquestioned majority, thanks the assembly,
and asks what is their further order. Some one rises, and
nominates a permanent chairman. Upon his election, the tem-
porary chairman welcomes his successor to his seat. The
chairman then addresses the meeting, thanking them in a
speech, brief and to the purpose. Ho man should accept this
position unless he is at least tolerably versed in the duties of
his office. He should be sure in his decisions on points of
order, and firmly maintain his findings as suavely as possible,
but maintain them at all hazards. The meeting can now
either vote for a secretary or direct the chair to select a proper
person. The officers, having now the management of the
meeting, proceed to business in the following order: The ob-
ject of the meeting is stated; resolutions are to be handed in;
votes taken on all motions duly seconded, and result stated;
members debating questions to be kept in order; to receive
communications, and have them read aloud; unless the meet-
ing does so, it is for the chair to name committees; and gener-
ally to act ae the personification of the good sense of the as-
sembly.

The secretary records all transactions at chairman's desire;
reads all papers; calls roll of members; reads record of pre-
vious meetings; calls the "yeaa" and "nays;" notifies com-
mittees, and gives them needed papers; authenticates, at bid.
ding of chair, all official papers; attends to correspondence,
and makes reports.

A meeting is initiated by two or more people addressing a

648 HOW TO OEGANIZB PUBLIC MEETINGS.

circular, or by advertisement, stating object and asking attend-
ance of all interested, at certain place and date.

At the hour appointed the meeting is organized in the man.
ner already described. "When a motion is made and seconded,
debate is then in order. Usually the one presenting the reso-
lution speaks, explaining its object. The chairman will then
give the floor to the first person who rises and catches his eye.
In the first two or three speeches the speakers may be allowed
a little latitude ; but it is well, as soon as possible, to keep
them in the traces, and confute the debate pretty close to the
matter in hand. Always have a written resolution before the
meeting, so that everything may proceed ship-shape. The
chairman should scan the whole house, so that he may give
every one a cliance to attract his eye, whether the persons are
near the platform or at a distance. In this, as in every other
action of life, the true rule is to do as you would like to be
done by. But it is not only the chairman who has duties.
The audience has much to do with keeping order. After you
have appointed a presiding officer, do not attempt to do his
duty for him, by shouting "order," "order," and thus mak-
ing confusion worse confounded. "Where would a regiment
be if every private was to give the word of command ? When
a person has the floor and proceeds to speak, it is to be remem-
bered that no one has a right to interrupt him, but by
appealing to the chair, and asking that the speaker be called
to order. On the other hand, no speaker is justified in making
personal allusion to or questioning the motives of any other
person in the meeting. Should any person so offend, the
chairman owes it to the dignity of the assemblage to instantly
call the offender to order, and insist that he be obeyed.

A caucus is an assemblage of members of any political
party to adopt a course of action, or nominate a person for a
certain office. The proceedings, with slight variations, as in
the meeting already described.

Political conventions are composed of persons elected by
their party to nominate suitable persons to represent such
party.

Almost every class of persons, religious, scientific, etc., hold
conventions, and the same rules apply to them all, with minor
changes, that speak for themselves.

Resolutions may be presented either spoken or written — the
latter way is preferable. Simple motions are usually spoken,
as " Mr. Chairman, I move that we take a recess for half an.
hour," or any similar motion. A resolution duly offered,
seconded and spoken to, can only be withdrawn by leave of
the meeting. If during the debate a motion to adjourn is
carried, the resolution goes into the unfinished business de-

HOW TO OKGAIOZE PUBLIC MEETINGS. 549

partment, and can only be further acted upon when it comes
up in due course at a following meeting.

Amendments may be proposed to add to the resolution, to
explain or to alter. Amendments cannot be introduced to
suit a whim ; they must have a plain bearing on the matter of
the resolution. The limit is reached at the second amend-
ment or third proposition. An amendment can be offered to
strike out some terms and insert others. No proposition once
rejected can be offered again in different words.

Division may mean to divide on a vote, or to divide a ques-
tion into two or more parts. A vote on a question being
given, the chairman says: "The ayes have it," or "tho
noes have it. " Any person can then call for a count. The
meeting itself decides what number can demand the yeas and
nays. A bare majoritypf both Houses of Congress make a
quorum for business. When appeal is taken from ruling of
chairman, if it is seconded, it may be debated. The chair-
man and any member may speak once on the subject. A
second appeal cannot be made until the first 13 settled. The
chairman may call any one to preside, and go upon the floor
to speak ; but this is only done on important matters. No
person has a right to speak twice on the same subject.

Privileged questions are the motion to adjourn, the notion to
lie on the table, and the motion for the previous question, and
the motion to postpone.

Motions to reconsider are usually regulated by the sense of
the meeting.

In legislative bodies the house is sometimes formed into tha
Committee of ttie Whole, when much latitude is given to debate,
formality is less observed, and bills are got into shape.

During a discussion any person may raise the point, "no
quorum present," and a call of the house follows. No mem-
ber can come in, or leave, until the roll is called and the ques-
tion decided.

" Xo more business before the meeting," says the chairman,
and the motion to simply adjourn, or to adjourn sine die, must
l)e at once decided, without discussion. The announcement
must be formally made by tho chairman, and that closes the
meeting.

A FARMER'S CLUB.

In a Fanner's Club, which has for its object social inter-
coure and the acquisition of knowledge, there need be few
arbitrary rules of order enforced, but, instead, the discussions
maybe more or less conversational. But, as all business is
facilitated by good regulations, the officers of the club ought
to be armed with by-laws, and empowered to enforce their
provisions whenever necessary.

CONSTITUTION.

ART. 1.— This association shall be known as the Castana
Farmer's Club. Its object shall be to promote a knowledge
of practical Farming and Gardening among its members and
the community, in connection with social enjoyments by the
members and their families.

ART. 2. — The members of the club are those who frame this
constitution and conform to its requirements, and others who
may be invited to join by the executive committee, all of
•whom shall pay $00—-annually in September (or monthly) into
the treasury.

ART. 8. — The officers of the Club shall be a President, a
Secretary, who shall be the Treasurer, and three members,
•who, with the President and Secretary, shall constitute the
Executive Committee. The Secretary shall keep records of
transactions, and be custodian of the funds and other property
of the Club, being accountable at all times to the Executive
Committee, giving bonds, if required, and shall prepare and
present a full report to the Club at the annual meeting. The

HOTV TO ORGANIZE PUBLIC MEETINGS. 55J

INSURANCE CLUB.

It is a wise practice In some social organizations, among the
industrial classes, to agree upon a mutual guaranty of help in
.cases of sickness and decease. A portion of the Society dues
iis set apart as a Benefit Fund, for members who are in need
'of assistance and support. One form of benefit is presented
by a guaranty of the expenses of a deceased member's funeral,
and the form of an insurance article to that effect, in the By«
Laws, may be as follows :

SEC. 1. On the decease of any member of this Society in
good standing, each member shall pay one dollar and ten cents
to the Treasurer, who shall pay one dollar of the same to the
widow of the deceased member, or the nearest relative, and
any member f ailing to pay when notified, the same shall be
charged as dues ; and no member who shall be in arrears for
three months will be entitled to receive the above.

SEC. 2. All officers and members of the Society shall attend
the funeral of deceased members, and for non-attendance the
officers shall be fined $1.00, and the members shall be fined
25 cts. Officers shall wear at all funerals a white rosette, and
members a white ribbon, on the left lappel of their coats. The
funeral arrangements shall be under the charge of a marshal,
appointed by the President for that purpose.

SEC. 3. There shall be elected a chaplain, whose duty shall
be to attend the funerals of the deceased members, and he may
adopt such services as he shall think proper.

SEC. 4. — No member will lose his right in the above sec
tions, except at his own request, on his taking his cards ; but
he must keep at all times his residence registered in the books
of the Society, and for neglect of so doing, or failure to pay
his dollar and ten cents, after sixty days' notice, his name shall
be dropped from the roll, and he shall cease to be a member of
the Insurance. The ten cents shall be held to pay expenses,
and the Treasurer shall, on the death of a member, report all
niuuey collected, with the expense thereof.

OCCUPATION'S OF THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.

THE tables of the census of 1870 exhibit interesting statistics on the
employments which divide the industry of our people. The population of
the United States OTer ten years of age was shown to amount to 28,223,943,
of which number 14,258,866 were males. There were returned as engaged
in all classes of occupations a total of 12,505,953, of which number 10,669,635
were males, and 1,836,288 females. In the census of occupations it will be
*een thift by far the greater number of inhabitants over ten years of age
were returned as engaged in some class of labor. Grouping the results of
the more detailed table of diversified occupations, it is shown that they
were distributed in the following four great classes of occupation*,
namely :—

Engaged in Agriculture 5,922.471

Engaged in Manufactures and Mechanical and Mining Industries, 2.707.421

Engaged in Professional and Personal Services 2,68-4,793

Engaged in Trade and Transportation 1,191,238

Total 12,505,923

It will be seen that the pursuits of agriculture occupy 46.31 per cent, or
something less than half the population; manufactnringpndrustries, 21.64
per omit of all classes of occupations; professional and personal Mi-vices,
91.46 per cent; and trade and Iran sport a tioa 9,53 per cent of the whole, or
•MS thr,T> one tenth.
