POPULAR PHRASES. trite old saying ev-
cry dog has its day" apty applies to our subject
of popular phrases. They spring up suddenly,
play their part, achieve certain degree Of popu-
larity, and then are lost sight Of No one knows
where they come from, where they CO. or how
they go. Their existence is generally short
springing up with some particular event or cir
cumstance, and when it is forgotten the term
which expressed its Specification drops out Of use.
The success or popularity which accompanies
them Is only temporary and Of short duration.
Some appear periodically, and generally appear
new to the majority of US; others are preserved
through the agency of the press but by far the
greater part have sunk into the depths from which
they so suddenly burst forth like meteor which
dazzIes for few moments and then leaves blank.
or like a smallfry politician, who jumps at a round
in the ladder of fame, catches it, holds it for an
instant, and then falls back to his previous level
They are not, in most cases, remarkable for their
elegance, but they are so highly expressive that
they are seized upon by the ignorant and thought
less, are circulated from mouth to mouth. and be-
SOmiuS 81 hluelg huOWu are soon WaQe the pro-
perty OF all. The most active agents in circula-
ting and diffusng these phrases and words are
the wild boys of the streets, commonly called the
Street Arabs" and the minstrels Both act
in their respective spheres but in an entirely diff
ierent way. The former circulate them among
themselves and they gradually extend to other
classes, while the latter, by means of song or a
joke, address them to hundred of persons at the
same time, and by their successive repiteton
cause them to "take." Stump speakers also
play prominent part in the diffusion Of these
phrases. There are numerous other ways by
which they are circulated and rendered popular,
but those just mentioned are the most important.
The most popular phrases at the present time is
What are You going to do about it ?" Almost
every person is familiar with its origin and the
various ways it has been used. 1t sprung into
existence during an interview between Boss
Tweed and reporter at the commencement Of
The reform movement, and appearing at an aus
1iclous moment it was taken up by the press

ise everywhere.

The injustice Of the common law has often
been commented upon by the ChancelIors Of
England. In the case of Freeman VS.. Good

dam sola bOught goods bat did not pay for then,
and afterwards married and died, having brought
good portion which came to the-hauds OF her

him, to be paid for the goods, demurred. The.

murrer saying with some earnestness. tkat he

case OF Powell vs. Bell, Abridgmsnt Of Cases in

1t was decreed that the wife who had contracred

account for what he had received with her, and

SUSKES TREAsURE.-Of the coast Of Equator,
near Point Santa Elena, lie the remains Of a once
magnificent frigate sent out by Spain in 1902 to
collect tribute money. After collecting about
s5,OOOOOO, she was wrecked on her way to Pan
anna, and now lies in the direct track OF nayiga-
ton, where she has lain for seventy years, only
six hundred feet from the shore. The Spanish
Government recovered about 100000 in the
early part Of the century, and in later years, an
enterprising American obtained about 100000.
1t is now proposed to make decisive effort TO
recover toe rest Of the immense treasure sunk in
the sea, and an expedition has left San Francisco
for that purpose. Hydraulic machinery Of great
calibre, and the wonderful engines of the Pacific
Coast wrecking Company. will be employed.

No reader of Cooper's novels but would
have recognized, last night, faithful rendi-
ton of the "Wept of the Wish Ton-Wish."
The "Narramattah" of Miss Kate Estelle
was faithful portrayal of all the deep emo
tiOns of this not altogether fictitious chsrac-
ter. The final tableau was not ioverdone
in the effort to produce on the audience, as
is frequently the case where indiscreet
stage acting is unwisely substituted for our
most natural exhibitions of emotions, when
we are either ovetjoyed or burthened with
grief. 1t is said that unless stress is put
upon some particular parts dull audience
will fail to appreciated, be interested in and
moved by them. But now a days when
there is so much travelling and we have an
opportunity to study human nature and
compare it, when the ''&ub" where the In
dams once roamed and where they are
roaming now is only few days journey
apart, overacting is quickly detected and
nauseating. The acting of Miss Miss Mai
Estelle was also good and her dancing artis-

THE CHILD WAS MISSING.

The horrible truth at once flashed upon
her mind-her baby had fallen into the els
terD; and, staggering into the yard, she
summoned sufficient strength to cry outs My
child-the cistern!"
Their next neighbor, Mr.. George Mon
teith, hearing the cry, rushed to the spot,
clos ly followed by bis brother Edward, and
two or three domesticS of the two families.
Grasping rope suspended to a crank
wheel above the cistern, he dropped down
through the small aperture, and, with the
assistance of his brother, was lowered rap
idly to the bottom of the well, distance of
thirty-nine feet, landing in about three feet
of water. Here he found the child, pas
sively sinking for the last time; and taking
it in his arms, he attached the rope to his
body in manner to be drawn up, believ-
ing all the time that his noble feat had
been fTuitless one, and that the child was
dead.
On getting the little adventurer to the
surface, however, it was discovered that
life was not entirely extinct, and in a
short time all anxiety for his safety was at
an end.
The despair of the mother at the appar-
ent and almost certain death of her child,
could only have been counterbalanced by
her deep, unspeakable gratitude at its re-
cOVery from horrible fate.
The whole transaction could not have Oc-
cupied more than four minutes-that is
from the falling of the child, to the time of
its being grasped by Mr.. Monteith. 1t is
supposed that the great distance it fell de-
prived its lungs entirely Of air, therby pro-
longing its life from strangulation.
THE HAND OF PROVIDENCE
seemed to be working throughout the
whole adventure. Had Mrs. Sher-
wood first looked from the door one
moment later than she did. she would
not have seen her child near the
curb; aud, not knowing of its whereabouts,
would not have suspicioned it had taken
the terrible fall. Mr.. Mcnteith, too, had
been detained from his business, attending
to some domestic arrangements, for nearly
an hour, as it would seem, to be the means
of saving the child from horrible fate.
Yesterday evening, the little fellow was
fully recovered from the effects of his
miraculous adventure, and could discuss
it with the GOODNESS of one born with taste
for such mishaps.

Improved Mower,

Mr.. j. P. Humphreys,a young gentleman
of this city has inst obtained patent right
for moving and reaping machine invented
by him. The improvement is of such an
extent that nothing outside of detailed
report, which would be too long in this con-
nection, would do justice to the merits of
this invention. Suffice to say with this ma
chine driver can under any ordinary cir
cumstances, and without any damage or in
convenience to himself gear or ungear his
machine, pass distractions, etc., or stop it
Immediately by means of fulcrum attach
ed to brake. The peculiar form and con-
struction of the machine and carriage, and
its arrangements Of motive power over
come any tendency to a side-draft, and
make it SO light that only one horse is re-
quired to draw it. Another advantage is
that the cost of construction will be at least
one half of that of the present machine now
in use. 1t viii be exhibited at the EXPOSE
