the city OF Cordoba and forced the autborit;e.

town, and then advanced in force upon Or;za-
pa. A letter from that place dated the

1t was reported that an extra session Of Con-
gress would be called expressly to act iu re.

The Guadalajara movement appears to be
gaining strength. The insurgents had collect.
ed a force of 500 men. The ayuntamiento
OF the city had recognized Davla as the Iegi>
innate Governor, and many of the minor

tai. The insurgents took $4,000 from the
Mint, for which they very considerably gave
receipt in full. The former authorities have
called on the Federal Government for aid re-
presenting that should this not be given, all
would be lost. Dayila was busy organizing
force of six battaions of infantry. TWO
regiments OF cavalry, and battery OF tweLs
ty.one pieces of artillery.
The Mazailan pronunciamiento has not been
suppressed. The insurrectlonsts now demand
that Mazatlan be separated from the State of
Sinaloa and declared federal district. The
paper blockade of Ar sta does not seem to
have produced much effect. 1t was reported
that the important port of Tepic was about to
second the pronuncamento of Mazatlan.
business at Acapulco was very dull.
The Camanches in Durango had attacked
and completely routed party of forty Mex
Ican soldiers OF whom twenty eight were kill

WANTED, FRESH SUPERLATIvEs.--Un1er

timely rebuke of the universal use of extra
VACANT language. We do nothing by halves,
and do not begin TO be satisfied when we de-
scribe the whole. If we are TO believe what
we daily hear from veracious friends, we must
conclude that all creation is done up in pocket
packages for our use, and that scores of eterni-
ties can be crowded into every hour of the day.
In figures we outco the Hebrews in hyper
bole we shame all the Orienials. We describe
moderate hill in language that would fily
treat of Mont Blanc; we speak OF two or three
level vacant lots in the city, in terms fit for a
prarie-ofi the ripples on a forty feet canal in
words that would accommodate the billows OF
oceans-of moderate East wind as tornado
-of a sudden squall sufficient To snap Balm
of Gilead in the door-yard, as perfect hurri-
cane. 1t never rains but it pours; it is never
dry but everything is parched. A cataract
always leaps from dizzy heightin profound
abyss. A mountain always tOrers 10 heaven;
a chasm opens into inameasurabfe depths. All
our aatumnal woods are gorgeous; our land
scapes nexpressibly beautiful.
Our wives are never weary but they are
tired to death, never warm but they roast, new
er chilly but they are frozen. II they have
scratch on the finger their hands are all raw
If they have a pain it is deathly. Ii there is
a spot on our linen, they tell US we are covered
with ink, and soiied dress is utterly ruined
When a friend goes home with US TO try pot
luck. if the fire has been out once il has been
out forty times if the beefis brown il is burnt
to cinder; if the soup is too savory il is salt
as brine.
This exira7agant waste Of words bankrupts
US whenever really extraordinary circum-
stances demand description. We have no
words to describe Niagara with, after we have
written of miIl-dam. The superIatyes due
TO the Mississippi, we have lavished on tTou
streams We have exhausted all our terms
exprt ssive of vaior, in telling of the skirmish,
and the main battle literally "beggars de-
scription." Degrees OF comparison are obso-
lete. Mere positives are questionable. Adj
Olson and Irving exhausted all that our ink
supplied. Let The Ink-makers fake the hint
and add new simple. The comparatiyes res
tain their original significance better, but the
sunerlatiyes are exhausiless and feeble. We
need new supply. tY Wanted, one thous-
and new and vigorous adjeciiyes, oi the super.
lariye degree; one hundred for the description
of natural scenery; one hundred for political
opponents to abuse each other with; one hun
dred Of the adulatory sort, for the use Of Office
seekers, and the balance for household words.
None but thoee bursting with the spirit Of the
age need be offered. We want adjeeiiyes that,
applied to cold, will make simple ice burn in
comparison; applied to heat will make COM
mon FIRE cold; TO beauty. will make fright Of
Venus. We want adjec,ves of space, that
will surround and embrace all creation; and Of
speed, that will leave lightning q century be-
hind.
