ORIGIN OF FAMILIAR WORDs.-The
word quiz to make fun Of, or poke fun
at person, was the coinage Of theat
ricul manager in Dublin, who, at drink
ing party with his friends one Saturday
night, when the conversation turned upon
the subject of words, offered to bet the
wine that he could then and there coin
word which would be in the mouths Of
Dublin the next day. The bet being
taken and the party dispersed, the man
ager called up his call boys and runners,
gave them pieces of chalk, and ordered
them to run all over the city, chalking
the word "quiz" on every shutter, door
aud fence they came to. This was done,
aud, as matter of course, the new word
was in everybody's mouth the next day.
The manager won The bet, and his word
is now in all respectable dictionaries.
The slang expression for death, "kick
ing the bucket" had its origin from one
Bolsover, who. in England, great while
ago, committed suicide by standing on a
bucket till he kicked the bucket from
under him.
The word "bumper," meaning full
drink when friends are drinking, is a
corruption of the toast offered in French
to the Pope, when the Catholic religion
was in the ascendeut in England-au bon
pere.
TO "dun," to press for money due,
comes from one Joe Dunn, famous
bailiff of Lincoln, In England, during
the reign of Henry VII. He was so
uncommonly successful in collecting
money that when man refused to pay
the creditor was asked why he didn',
Dunn him.
"Humbug" is corruption Of the Irish
words "uim bog" pronounced oombug
sisuifyins soft copper, or pewter. or brass
or worthless money, such as was made
by James IL. at the Dublin mlnt-twenty
,hllings of which was worth only tw;
pence sterling At first applied to worth
less coin, the words became the genera
title of onything false or counterfeit

Inhu Rohinson,s Circus,

Of John Robnson's circus, which will he
at Tivol circle next Monday, the Mout-
gomery Journal said:
The largest crowd ever drawn together
in Montgomery was in the circus tent OF
John Robinson yesterday afternoon. There
was not standing room under any portion
of the canvas, and dozens OF persons tailed
to get in to witness the grand arenic exhiDl-
tons This is undoubtedly the greatest
circus combination in the United States, to
say nothing of the meHagerie. The collec-
ton of animals is unsurpassed. There are
the elephants, camels, lions, tigers, leop-
ards, dogs, goats, monkeys, giratfes and
numbers of ANIMALS whose names we can
not remember, besides d fine array OF birds
of all descriptions. including splendid os-
trich. The performances are all interesting
and attractive, and we have never seen a
more delighted crowd than that OF yester-
day,
Robinson has everything he advertises,
which is more than we can say of any other
circus that has visited Montgomery Tor
wears. His tour through the South this
season has been q complete ovation, as he
is met by crowds everywhere he goes. Tie
price of admission to bis performances Is
more than realized in examining the AMI
m;llS, birds, etc.

Newspapers Property.

l
The sum OF $50, 900 has been paid for fif.
ty-one shares of the New York Tribune As
ISOLATION. This would make the entire
value of the property 100000, which, the
Tribune says, lis by far the highest price
ever paid for a newspaper on this CONT
nent." This is not exactly correct. Shares
in the Chicago Tribune were sold, before
the fire, at the same price relatively, that
is, on the basis of 81 100, 600 for the whole.
After the fire, when $780, 900 of the tangible
property of the establishment had been de-
stroyed without insurance, sales were made
on. the basis of 100000. The New York
Herald could not, probably, be bought for
81, 900 900, if it were for sale at all. The
New York Evening Pos. is believed to be
worth over million dollars, and the Jour
nal of Commerce even more than the Post,
and the Philadelphia Ledger more than
either. The St. Louis Democrat sold re-
Gently on the basis of $500, 0O0-a ridicu-

WASHINGTON, January 2.-Dr. Ralph v.
Aulick son of the commodore, died very
suddenly at his fathers residence, in this
city, few months ago. the family believ-
ing that he was unmarried. On the follow
ing morning young lady employed in the
Treasury Department, known as Miss Oler,
on hearing the announcement of his death,
read from a newspaper, tainted, and lt was
soon made known that the deceased was
her husband. In October the will of Au-
lick, made in Philadelphia in May, was fled
in the probate court, by which he
left his property, consisting OF ten
shares of Cincinnati Gasllght Com
pany's stock, worth nearly $30,0V0 to his
widow. His father filed a caveat to the
will and the Judge ordered that issues be
made for trial in the circuit court. When
the case was called to-day the counsel for
Commodore Aulick said that, in conse-
quence of severe sickness III lS1 |, the tam,
iiy believed that the disease had affected
the young mans mind. The validity of the
marriage was admitted, but in explanation
of the Caveat, counsel said that the stock
was received by the deceased from MS
father January s, 1861, to whom he gave a
paper obligating himself that he would
neither sell nor dispose of said stock
during the lifetime of his father without
first consulting him. He was young
man who was under solemn obligation to
his father, and yet he broke that obliga,
ton Not being armed with that degree OF
evidence which would warrant his going to
a Jury with probability of success, they

.young man should be dragged from Their

tions to the probate of the will. The jur'
returned verdict that the testator was o.
sound mind at the time of making the will
and that it was not procured by fraud, force
or undue influence.
