"YANKEEs."-We have received the
following:
!" The question has often been asked me !:
What is the origin of the word Yankee !?
Please tell an old subscriber. j. II. M"
There has been good deal of dispute
about this. 1t is certain that the term was
used first by the native Indians, and ap
piled exclusively to the white colonists of
New England. From the beginning the
Indians used it to designate the white men
that would lie to them and cheat them, as
distinguished from other white men who
were friendly and truthful towards them.
The fancy has been entertained that it was
a corruption of York men; )" but this is
answered by the ascertained fact that the
indians used the term before what is now
New York ever fellinto English hands. The
most rational answer is, that Yankee is the
Indian corruption Of Anglaise, the French
for ENGLISH lThe French, by way Of ex-
planning to the Indians why some white
men were such rogues and liars, and
cheated the poor Indians so, told them
these were t'AnglaiSe," or English" As
this was the common character of the Pu-
ritans, the Indians took to- calling them
Anglaise--corrupted to Yankees" mean
ing "lying, cheating, meddliDg white
men !" The name has been continued, and
the race, unfortunately, though now in ra-
Did process Of extinction, is still very trou-
blesome.-Nep YorE Freemdn's journal.

Nor VERY LIKELY SToRY.-A few days
ago, as several persons were leaving the
office of one Of our physicians, on Third
street, they discovered at the stairs leading
thereto dog who had been severely
wounded in one Of his legs, from which the
blood was flowing freely. Seeing the door
open, the dog at once entered the office,
limped to the doctor, and in most i'm
ploring attitude held up the wounded limb.
The man of pills and bandages took pity on
the animal, and upon examining the wound
found that an artery had been cut. Care
fully laying his dogship on the floor, the
doctor proceeded to bandage the wound,
which he accomplished as skilfully as If
his patient were member Of the human
family. The dog seemed grateful for the
attention shown him, and after exhibiting
hisgratitude in an unmistakable manner, he
proceeds to the door, and departed. What
seems most singular is that the animal had
never been at the office before, and that he
was an entire stranger to the physician.
Instinct alone could have caused him to
visit the gentleman referred to in his hour
Of distress. Although this statement may
scarcely be believed by some OF our read
ers, we assure them that it is true in every
particular, and the dog referred to can be
seen any day within short distance of the
Office where he received the physicians
attention Harrisburg (Pa.) Telegraph.
