Brownlow is IA candidate for Con-
gress in the knoxville District In that
district Thornburg is the radical nomi-
nee and Henderson the Democratic
nominee. Houck, Radical, and Mubry
Democrat are independent candidates
What the result will be it is rather
difficult to conjecture but it cannot be
denied that the Parson is strong MAJ
in the district and his position on the
Civil Rights Bill has not tended to weak
en- him any.
We desire the election Of the demo>
cratic nominee, but we are aware that
The Civil Rights Bill! and all kindred
measures will find in w e. Browniow
stout opponent We suppose that he
will make it lively in his district between
this and the election.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Please allow me to reply a
few words to ct. o. W." When q people bor
rows word from a foreign tongue it is to sup
ply deficiency, to fill gap in its own. The
English took the word matinee from the
French, not because in meant morning, but be-
cause it went further than noon, and especially
because it designated every kind of exhibition
given in the afternoon. This word much used
was soon universally understood, most i'm
portant point in language. Another word is
now introduced. -.-.,,.a
Is it better qualified? Far less or rather not
at all as we will see presently Is it more
euphonious? do not think so. Is the change
desired by Americans? In all courtesy to IT
o. W. believe the PortIanders perfectly in
different to it, provided they continue enjoying
the thing as they seem to do
7 said the new word-vespertine--is far less
qualified Ian matinee, or rather not qualified

ACCIDENTS afternoon Mr.. r. I.
Curtis, of the firm of Davis & Curtis, was COM
ing down Congress street, and when opposite
the Park the wheels of his express wagon came
in contact with the wheels of a job wagon
throwing his horse down, and himself from his
seat head-foremost to the pavement. He was
carried into the drug store Of George G. Frye,
when it was found that he was severely injur-
ed, although no bones were broken. He was
taken to his home on Quebec street.
Saturday afternoon Councilman Nash was
riding down Spring street when his carriage
struck horse car and he was thrown from his
seat and struck the pavement directly under
the feet of the horse attached to the car. For
tunately the horse was stopped and Mr. Nash
taken up uninjured, with the exception OF be-
ing slightly stunned.
The Portland daily press., 1874-11-16

at all. Matinee is noun and vespertine an
adjective, consequently affixed to noun, for
the Latins said vespertin@ hora as well as
matutin@ horse. Thus to use it in English they
would be obliged to say vespertine performance
this afternoon, which translated in good En-
glish would read this afternoon evening perform
ance. Very simple indeed. If l apply the
usual process to form an English or French
word from the Latin, I find from vesperis, gent
tive Of vesper-noun-radical vesperine, noun,
its diminutive meaning little evening. If vesper-
inc could be made to mean little afternoon,
that word would evidently and legitimately
take the place of matinee.
To form a noun from vespertina implies
that the genitive of vesper is vesperetis'
Well, under what name whatever the afternoon
performances at the Museum are called, let 1t
be matinee, vesperine or even vespert'ne, they
are not the less delightful affairs With good
scting, fresh and artistic costumes and scenery,
energetic and intelligent managers, how could
they be otherwise? ID. DUcoM.

Splitting Hairs.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Your correspondent, together
with many others, can conceive of no adequate
reason why the term matinee tapplied to after
noon musical and histrionic performances)
should be changed to that of vespertine. The
former universally accepted term is compre-
hensible 20 all; its precise meaning is under
stood as applied to day entertainments. Then
why "split hairs about it? Such an innova-
ton as that of denominating an afternoon
performance vespertine is simply ridiculous
Down upon such affectation. Let the good
old proper term matinee stand until ST. o.
W" Tor somebody elsa can effectua.ly cudgel his
brains in the way of substituting more
fe!icitous and appropriate term than vespertiae.
