EMPORIA NEW s
Foreign Amerieanisms.

a writer under the signature OF
IAN American in the London
Spectator, says that tho word
aBritisher' was never made use of
by nm American unless derived
from English sources. There are,
the writer says, certain English
novelists, who, knowing nothing
whatever of us, create ideal Amer
leans of stamp such as never ex-
isted even among the toughest
backwoodsmen. These characters |
talk of "Britishers," but no Eng |
iishman on this side OF the Allan

any but his own countrymen. 1t
is purely an English AmeTicanism.
II was probably first used by some
novelist, and struck the public
fancy, and has been in vogue ever
sincc-in England. have heard
the word used here, but only, as
have said, by those who had it
suggested by English books or
newspapers. Heaven knows, we
have enough peculiarities of man
ners and language without having
slang phrases made for us. We of
New York 'guess," and in the
south they reckon" We ego
right off," meaning "gC immedi'
ately." The vulgar American
"darns" everything and everybody,
and although / never heard it, /
am told that the abandoned Mas
sachusetts Yankee sometimes seal

in English novels. In Maryland
and farther south everything is

essentially English Americanism
is to speak of "thc States" ]

phrase after having been in Eng
land, but never before. They say

CALIFORNIA SAVINGS BANKS
We find in n late number of the
San Francisco Market Review an
interesting tabular statement OF
the interior savings banks of Cali
fornia for n series of years, en-
bracing the banks at Sacramento,
Napa, San Jose, Stockton, Marys-
Vile, Oakland and Vallejo. They
show a remarkable growth OF bust
ness. In July, 1868, the depos-
itors were only 1918. In July,
1860, they were 1918. In July,
1870, they were $3.50; in July, 1871,
they were 12,969; in July, 1873,
they were 2O,354. The aggregate
deposits in July, 1868, were $685.
97l; in July, 1869, they were ST.
9S9,U6l; in July, 1870, they were
$I,ll5,057; In July, 1871, they
were $6,337,2l9; in July, 1873,
they were $9,754,922. The loans
have made greater progress, hay
ing increased from $6I3,O6l in
July, 1865, to $l06l7,5l3 in July,
1878. The gross earnings have
risen from $35,19S in July, 1868,
to $6S6,64 in July. 1873, and the
reserve fund from $50, 592 in July,
1868, to $l,944,339 in July, 1878.
The average deposits TO each de I
positor the current year may be
stated at $40, gold. The great
transactions in loans exhibits an
urgent demand for money in the
interior of California; and the
Market Review says these local
accommodations have largely re-
duced the pressure upon San
Francisco, where discount rates
have been cxtravagantly high.
The success of these local banks
has stimulated n growing DISPOSE
ton to furnish similar facilities all
over the State. These banks pay
their depositors from ten to twelve
per cent. interest on deposits.
What, then, must be their discount
rates? TheReview says they charge
the farmers twelve to fifteen per
cent. for coin advanced on grain
security!

marching OF troops within the limits OF one IS own

Mexican press denounced the people or Texas for
maraudng upon Mexican territory and United

prevent any further marauding. AT first our col

The German papers say that
letters from France have been
received in German official circles
which show that the French army
is far from being perfectly organ

up to the mark. The horses arc
not sufficient in number nor are
they well trained the men are
neither we'll trained nor we'll dis

Some time since it related a sto-

band of assassius which infested
the State Of New Hampshire,
and which was guilty of rnume-
rous crimes. Many dead bodies
were found lying around loose,
and all had the same mark--the
section of the carotid artery.

inhabitants of the district, and all
were quietly arrested the next
morning. The Figaro has pre-.
