The Corrupt Use Of words.

The communications which have APP
peared in the New York Eveniag Post in
relation to the corrupt use of the word
"ike," are copied in the Kalamazoo 1ele-
graph, Michigan paper. with the follow
inc comments by the editor:
1--WE have never heard this use of the
word like in New England, where the old
English forms and bible limitations Of
"like as" would most probably obtain, nor
in villages where there is large German
element. Nowhere in New England have
we ever heard it, except by some persons
who learned it at the South, where its use
is universal, and where, we doubt not, it
originated among the negroes and from
their poverty of language. They heard
like used 10 compare objects; as, this tree
is like that add, perceiving the likeness
in acts as well, they, in their pauety Of
ideas and expressions, used the same word
to express the resemblance--the adjective
like instead Of the adyerb as as, do that
like | do this, an expression always in use
throughout the slave States and in those
States bordering on them, Ohio, Indiana,
and Southern Illinois, largely settled by
emigrants from the slave States, from this
and many other expressions were doubt
less imported. The expression "getto 90"
we are confident originated in much the
same way. Get signlfied, to obtain, and
the negroes used il alike to obtain means
or ability to do anything, as to obtain any
tangible Object. To "get TO 90" was to
get permission or ability to go. Masters
and mistresscs naturally adopt the Ian
guage of servants in talking with them,
and the habit very easily extends beyond
intercourse with the servants. Wherever
we find those expressions we find an i'm
proper use of wW for shall.
1--WE could readily track General Burn
side to a sometime residence in a slave
State, or one bordering upon slave State,
by bis use ofthese words in his appeal to
the Circuit Court Of Ohio. in the case of
Vallandigham's arrest. Note his use Of
the word will in the following sentences
which we quote from that document
81 shall use all the power | have to
break down such license, and am sure ]
aoiH be sustained in this course by all hon
est men. At all events, | aCi1 have the
consciousness before God of having done
my duty to my country; and when | am
swerved from the performance of that duty

word a0W in New England schools, nor
from intercourse with New England peo-

GB~ Although the Emperor Of Russia
appears to be waging a merciless war
against the Poles, the civil reforms in his
empire are going on. The imperial ukase
recently issued concerning corporal punish
ment completely exempts women AMI some
classes of individuals, "among whom civil
lization is most extended as for example,
teachers Of primary schools; persons who
have finished their education in district col
leges and other schools, peasants exercising
elective functions; and lastly, curates of
parishes. The nobility aud the merchants
of the two first guilds have for a long time
been exempt from corporeal punishment.
The peasants and bourgeois who do not
belong to the catesorie thus enumerated
will only be subject to the lighter corporal
punishment in certain cases specified by
law. The knout and the marque are def
nitely erased from the penal code. The
other punishments are sensibly diminish
ed. Analogous notifications are intro
duced in the penal code Of the army and
navy.

eighteen before the Judge, asking that the

one wife, By whom he had several children,
and that his two wives lived with him III
The same house The Judge decided that
the second marriage was not lawful, bat a
crime against the laws of the United states,

A GIGANTIC BIRD.-Naturaists are delight
ed to read that at last Moa has been seen in
New Zealand. The Moa is walking, not
flying bird, supposed from The numerous skel
etons which have been found Of it, to grow
from eight TO nine feet high. 1t has been
hitherto believed TO be extinct, though it was
known that within the memory of many Of the
Oldest inhabitants. now living ON the island, It
had been killed and eaten by the natives. 1t
was always hoped that in the UNEMPLOYED parts
of the island some los specimen of this nearly
extinct race might yet be found alive; and now
it seems tina; god-miner, sitting by his camp
Ere. saw one peerng at him from the edge of
a near hill. He took it, at first, to be man,
but presently saw it starting gravely off. The
track or Footprint of this great bird showed
s'three claws and, about foot behind, the
mark Of pad and behind that again, the marx
OF spur.n A reward of.wenty-fve hundred
dollars has 6een offered fer the bird, alive or
dead; and if the miner told the truth, we may
yet see living Moa--a member Of {, tribe
once sufficiently numerous in New Zealand to
be a source of dread TO the natives.

Eg"The question Of retaliation is Likely to be
brought up in connection with the capture Of
several of the First Kansas coloreG regiment
by the guerillas in skIrmish near Baxter
Springs. A sharp correspondence has passed
betweea Livingston, the guerilla who made the
capture, and Col. Williams of the colored reg
lment. The guerilla offers to exchange the two
white prisoners he holds for two of his band
in Williams hands, announcing at the same
time his intention to keep the negro soldiers
as scontrahandS OF war; He also intimates
that if the reported death Of one ofhis men be
true, he shall retaliate: to which threat Will
liams replied, S'that he can play his hand'-
that unless he (Liyingston) exchanged the ne
groes Immediately, as well as the white sol
dierss he (W.) would hang the prisoners he
held. This is the substan of what passed.
Whether the exchange took place We are not
