Billings on Bad Spelling.
A private letter by "Josh Billings," the
philosopher who spells so badly, says :
"Bad spelling is just what I do not take
any more pride in than I should in stutter
ing, but I was led into it by an experiment,
and confirmed in it by success. I wrote
my first effort about six years Iwo, and it
grew out of an adventure with a silyery
knobbed and genial old trout-fisher who
had thrashed many a stream with me. We
were fishing a brook thick on the banks
with alders, and were using small reels to
give our lines the privilege of going far
down the water among the coverts and
windings. I stood beside the old sport
while his reel was unwinding, and already
he had let out at least one hundred feet of
line. We were fishing without any lead,
with full worm bait, and near to the barn
yard of a farmhouse, which was enclosed
with a fence,;taking in a bend of the brook,
for the beasts to drink at, and for the
ducks and geese to dabble in. The line
having no sinker, the bait, being large
and lively, floated on the stream. Old
Nestor's bait had got into the duck pond
and, swimming along on the top of the wa•
ter, attracted the appetite of a fine young
gosling, who, without any further invita
tion, gorged he deceit and give to the line
just the kind of signal that a large trout
would give. The old man's eyes grew crazy
at the pull and slowly up the brook's course
he began to reel the prize. It was most ex
citing, Nestor declaring that he had got the
monarch of the brook; but at last, when the
gosling, weighing at least six pounds, hove
in sight around the sudden carve of the
bank just below us, and was safely hauled
up on the sand at Uncle Isaac's feet, it
would have made a graven image grow
limber and laugh to look into that fine old
fisherman's face and see the surprise
and fun mixed up together. This ad.ven
true has one striking peculiarity, and that
is, it was literally gosling true. I never,
in the whole course of my samewhat va
riegated life, was so completely strangled
with laughter,
and have lamented my
ability to give the scene, on paper, so little
of the cachinatory throes that it raised in
me at the time. The next day I wrote this
episode up, and with a blush deposited it in
the post office for our newspaper editor,with
the nom de plume "Sledlength,." It was
hatched out in a few days. and I saw my
self, at full length, in the columns of the
little daily. I was about half mad and half
tickled, but these sensations, after I had
read the thing, gave way to disgust. Bat
reading no criticisms unfavorable to my
piece, I was nerved up to the phrenzy of
seeing my pen and ink once - more in the
journal, and, for about a year, was on pa
rade at least three times a week.'
Thus far, I had written With dictionary
and spelling -book in hand. _I had never
seen a single one of my pieces copied into
another paper, and - this - was not as
flattering as it might be. About this time I
had read an effusion by " Artemus Ward,"
upon some subject upon which Iliad written
myselfiand• I was foolish enough' to fancy
that mine was almost second to his. Acting
upon that fancy, I took my piece and drew
it off again, paying but little attention to
good and correct spelling, using a phonetic
style, and sent the waif to a New York pa-
THE. DAILY . EVENING BULLETIN ; PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY JUNE 12, 1866.
per. When the piece had ...been rewritten,
without any thought and without any rea
son for it, I wrote involuntarily at the bot
tom, "Josh Billings? In a few days I saw
the old acquainumee with the harlequin
clothes on, and in a few more days, the
comic papers engaged the services of the
new comer, and gave him position. Thus
were all the pieces (which never had merit
enough, in citizen's dress y to merit recogni
tion), by being daubed with a painted vest,
handed over to the tender mercies of noto
riety. This is the account of my bad orthogra
phy, and the only excuse I have to offer for
ever adopting it.
" Spiridion'a" last paris letter says: I
have been to the tulip show which is now
open. You can imagine from my confession
of weakness for garish colors I am an ardent
amateur of flowers. I am an admirer of
tulips, although their want of perfume
makes me sometimes compare them to
beautiful women whose beauty lacks that
witchery which oft endows homeliness of
features with fascination-r-expreasion Your
flower which breathes no portion of its soul
to its admirer is dumb. But the dainty
colors and their exquisite mingling in the
flower of the tulip, the beautiful form of
the flower and of the leaves which com
pose it, its delicate stalk and graceful
attitude and the almost plaintive
appeal its fragility makes for protection al.
lure my admiration. I question if Holland
could make such a show as we have here
now. It contains two thousand five hun
dred plants all now in flower,
and seven
hundred varieties. It belongs to the city of
Paris. I will tell you its history. Last
year there died at Versailles a Mons. Bon
ons. He was wealthy and he had no occu
pation. He had the good sense to discover
no son of Adam, whatever his wealth may
be, can live listlessly under pain of the
greatest unhappiness. It is better to chase
the horizon than to do nothing; for the con
summate art of life is healthily to shorten it;
to give swiftest wings to those hours—and
such are all hours—which are to bring
Death unto us. He winged her hours with
tulips. He determined to collect in his gar
den at Versailles all species of tulips. Hav
ing placed the goal of his ambition at
so great a distance, he made it neces
sary for him to run with all his
speed if he would reach it before Death at
tained him. While I think life and fortune
might be more worthily employed, for in
stance by collecting the last tears from sor
row's eyes or the last raga worn by de
serving paupers, I cannot commend Mons.
Bontous 's taste and patience. Think of a
man tending inodorous, dusky, apparently
dead bulbs for weeks and months, taking
care of them, waiting for the day of their
life to come—and when life returns, or
rather becomes visible, they riot in color
and form, they fill his garden with the
brightness of twenty suns, the beauty of a
hundred rainbows—and, their brief day
ended, they droop and return to sleep
again. There is something magical, fairy
like, in these periodical slumbers and
wakings of an immense collection of flowers.
Mons. Bontous spent twenty-five years in
assembling all these plants. He visited
England, Holland, Belgium to obtain new
species or varieties. He died last year and
provided in his will the collection should be
given with all the Dots, boxes, labels—in
fine with everything—to the public estab
lishment which might prove to the satisfac
tion of his executors worthiest to possess it.
The Garden of Plants, the Acclimation
Society, and the city of Paris laid claim to
it in the conditions of the will. It was
awarded to Paris. The municipal authori
ties have an extensive collection of green
houses and a large garden at Panay, which
is the nursery of the flowers used to decorate
the squares and gardens. The city owns
another nursery of three or four hundred
acres near Joinville-le-Pont, where the
shrubs and trees used to decorate the city
are protected and fostered.
