We desire to call attention to
the increasing use of slang terms
and foreign phrases. Purity OF
language is an evidence not only
ola sound mind and good educa-
ton, but, to a great extent, OF
moral uprightness. The use of
vulgar terms must lead to vulgar
thoughts, and the employment OF
slang phrases is too often an indi-
cation of familiarity with a low
class of society. Whatever justi-
fication may be rendered for the
substitution of foreign words and
phrases for equally expressive
English equivalents, the practice
is one to be condemned and moi
encouraged. There is some ex
cuse for the use of foreign words
by a person just commencing thu
study of a foreign language, bu
those who profess to be familia
with that and their own shoul'

expressions they may meet in tn
course of their reading. 1t CAL

Destroying NapoleOnic Romance.

NJ. Laniray's "History OF Napoleon" has reached
its third volume. The Paris correspondent of
the London Times says:-
''lf there ever was an author who applied
himself vigorously and sincerely in exposing
the official tabricatons, the fables and the
legends, the talsfcatons, involuntary or pre-
meditated, of the enthusiastic admirers or the
blind fiaiterers of the Imperial epoch, who set
himself more earnestly to destroy the romance
with which the crowd have invested the great
warrior who is at once the severe historian OF
Napoleon and the severe critic of his historians
beginning and ending wi b the most celebrated
of all, M. Ihiers-that man is M. Lantray The
history so far as 1t has yet gone, is the refuta-
tion of some of the more brilliant PORTIONS of
that of his predecessor; and, unlike NJ Thiers,
he is never so dazzled by the genius OF his hero
as 10 be blind to his misdeeds, or out of admira-
tion for their results TO paliaie the means which
he employed to attain it. Whether NJ Lqnfrays
is destined to supersede all other histories l
cannot say, but that he loves liberty and hates
despotism, and, above all, military despotism,
there is no doubt.
''His description of the battle of Trafalgar is
given with much graphic power; aud we cam Ut

A Paris correspondent of an English paper
says
''Od cafes in the Palais Royal are becoming
scarce; one after the other they die away. The
celebrated Cafe Lembl1n aud Cafe FOy have
long disappeared, and the Cafe Holandais has
now closed Its doors. 1t was established at toe
beginning of the present century, and OF late
years was chiefly irequeuted by pupils of the
military school OF SAINT Cyr. M. Laperiere was
the proprietor for forty years. He bean by
realizing $40, 900, which he lost in Bourse speCu-
laions, and regained with 'grogs aud DENT
tdSSes, HIS first waiter, after 1880, made
sufficient profits TO enable him to purchase, on
his own account, the Cafe des Mile Colonies
Since 1850 nearly all the officers OF the Paris
barracks used to assemble mt the Cafe Hoan-
dais, which was often visited also by dstn-
guished foreigners. For fifteen years after that
no cafe was so lively nor so noisy in the whole
Paais Royal, twenty walters being scarcely
sufficient to do the work. NJ. Laperiere told a
friend of mine that in one single week of 1880
twentythree thousand litres of punch were dis
posed Of. The Boulevards appear to me to be
gradually killing the Palals Royal, which otfends
the eve Of the btdse Partisan, as kind of Old
curiosity almost unworthy of Haussmannville."
