FRESH-FRESHET.

The Lynchburg Express objects TO the term
Fresh as applied to a food in a river, ane
prefers the word " Freshet." All we can say
is, that the first is the old term, and has from
the settlement of the colony been applied to
the rises in this river particularly. Freshet'
originally meant a spring or rivulet of fresh
water, not swell in the river. How it came
to be distorted to its present use, we know not
but certainly the other is the older term, and,
until within our own memory, was universally
applied TO the rises in James River. Captain
John Smith may not have been SO great lexi.
cographer as Noah Webster, but be was man
of genius, notwithstanding, and wrote his
own language, as it was written in his own day
with great force and accuracy. We want no
better authority upon matter of this sort,
for we are disposed think SO highly of the Eng
lish of Queen Elizabeth's day, as to prefer re-
viving words then used, but since become OBJ
solete,
Swords which wise Bacon and brave Raleigh
spake,"
to any neologisms which may be invented to
supply their place.
Noah Webster, it is true, defines "Fresh-
et'' to be food occasioned by rain, the melt
ing Of snow, &C., in other words, gives it the
same meaning that he gives to "Fresh." Blu.
it is the duty of a photographer to put down
the words as he finds them in use. Now we
do not deny that freshet is in very general use
yet we regard it as an affected transformation
OF very simple word for ali that.
Beverly, in his history of Virginia, always
says "Fresh'' when he has occasion to speak
of the subject, and in an article which we ex.
tracted the other day from the Virginia Gazette,
it is thus expressed in eight or ten instances.
We all have our prejudices, however, abou,
words as about every thing else. There are
two words which we abominate; the one is
" Freshet'' the other "Talented." Dean Swift
more than century ago, made an onslaught
upon this last word, and, short time since,
writer in Frazer's Magazine, who was evil
IDENTIFY very considerable philologist, resumed
the assault. For our own part we cannot see
why it may not be as correct to say a genuised
man" as =" a talented man." The termina-
ton of the word implies that it is past parti-
ciple, and like other partciples comes from a
verb" Did any body ever hear of such verb
as " to talent?' The absurdity of the matter
is the more apparent when we reflect that there
is no other instance in the language, in which
noun substantive, by the mere addition OF
"ed," is converted into an adjective or pas,

OBJECT OF THE BURMESE WAR.

The government of Great Britain does not
often make war without an object. The war
with Burmah, according to the London Morn
ing Chronicle, though undertaken upon other
grounds, will have the effect, if proper use be
made oft, of opening an overland trade with
China; trade which has hitherto been mo.
nopolized by Russia, though it has been long
coveted by the East India Company. In order
to effect il, at the close of the last war with
Burmah, the British took possession of mar
row strip of land called the Tenasserm Terri
tory, in the South, and sent an emssary TO
Zimmay and Labon, for the purpose of stimu-
lating the trade, in 1880. This emissary, a DIR.
Richardson, reported favorably with regard to
the immense outlet offered for wooden goods.
Other missions have extended the field OF en-
ierprise almost to the borders of China.
The Chronisle says:
@But il does not appear to have occurred To
our negotiators in 1896, that by commencing
operations at the northeastern, instead of the
southwestern extremity of Burmah, they mig hi
have attained directly, and might have found
ready prepared to their hands, the trade which
they sought TO attract from long distances. aud

Bay Of Bengal. Let US now see what they are
from the opposite side. AT distance ofless
than 300 milas, to the northeast of the town--lf
we follow the beaten track-there runs, IN
northeasterly direction, through the whole
breadth oil China to the Pacific ocean. the
great river Yang -tsi -kiang, passing Nankin in
its course, and connected by numberless feed
ers with the upper and lower provinces of the
empire. From the northwest, multitude OF
minor streams pour down from the mountains
of Thibet. Three considerable rivers--the
Salween, the Menum, and the Mekon-descend
from the same centre on their way to Tenasse-
rim, Siam and Cochin China. In short, so
wonderfully has nature marked out Bhanmo
for an emporium of trade, that there is water
carriage from this single spot to all the coun-
tries OF continental Asia, south of the 3lst de-
gree of latitude, which are washed by the Pa
cifc. As might DE expected, the varieties OF
climate in this vast area produce demand for
every species of cloth-wooen as well as cot
ton. But hitherto almost the only source OF
supply has been the Russian market at kiak-
tina, IN Siberia-a town separated bv the whole
breadth of Mongolia from the Chinese from
tier, and by a distance of 800 miles from the
provinces adjacent to Bhanmo. With all these
disadvantages, however, the value of the tea
which the Russian merchants receive in return
for their febrics has, within the last 20 years,
increased by one hall"
The exception to the monopoly of Kiaktha,
says the. Chronicle, is, curiously enough, Bhan-
mo itself, to which city all the wooden goods
that make their way are of English manufac-
ture. That paper is opposed to any further
accession of territory, but thinks that single
clause, securing the free navigation of the Ira
awady, will be sufficient.
