THUNDER LANGUAGE.

A man mighty IN Homeric' Greek, and
very able and learned publisher of
works on the classics, but too fond of
using long VI ords In his pulpit orations.
He himself would style them "Sesquipe-
dalian terms" l once heard him in
sermon speak CT the six days of Creation
as the "Cosmogonical Hexahemeron,"
and designate the Books of Moses by the
name of the "Pentateuchical Archives
Nay, some college wag affirmed that he
had heard him say TO a ragged boy in
Merrion Square, when alighting from bis
horse, ~'Perambulate my quadruped, and
thou shalt receive pecuuiary remunera-
tion." 1t was. however, long before his
day, that droll and really clever illus
tration OF ready gTandiloquence was CIV
! en- in one of the college quadrangles, in
/ a dialogue which took place between a
gaping rustic seeking to discover the
rooms of his landlords son. for whom he
had letter, and one of the learned
, sSocii," who was facetiously inclined :
i Rusticus: "Will your honor inform me
In which of these big houses Master John
Squire Kelly's son-lives; he's from
the County Mayor Socius: "Certain-
! ly! Cut the angle of the quadrangle, su-
bite through the ostium, ascend the lig-
mean grades, pulsate at his janua, and
you will find him either peripatounting
i'll his cubiculum, or periscopounting
through his tenestra. !" Rusticus, scratch
ing his head and catching at the last
word: "Oh dear, oh dear; and what
may 'fenestra' be, yer honor?" Socius,
ga fenestra is an orifice in the side of an
edifice for the intromlssion of illumina-
ton" Rustic collapses, and eXit.-Re-
collections of the Irish Church.

From the N. Y. Herald.
War Dh the Border.

Our despatch from San Antonio re-
ports fact scandalous and disgraceful to
the American people and their govern
ment. This Is that the border robbers
from Mexico are raiding the neighbor-
hood of Castro vile, in the State of Texas
"a point full hundred miles east of the
Rio Grande River and only about thirty
miles frem San Antonio. If we were q
submissive, timid race, accustomed to
quietly assent to oppression and plunder;
II we had no government, or II arms
were posse ssion monopolized by M Mexi-
cans and Indians, this fact would be ex-
plicable. But for people like ours, and
with government that pretends to pro-
tect its soil ,at least from foreign enemies,
the fact stated is scarcely . be under
stood. 1t is simply amazing that our
government pursues its even course il
| the interchange of diplomatic twaddle
| with the so-called government that pre-
tend, to exercise authority ou the other
side OF the Rio Grande and patiently
permits armed marauders to ravage
hundred miles of its frontier. Our bor-
der toward the Mexican boundary is
precisely in the condition as to interna-
tional law of our border on the Indian
countries. There is no nation on the other
side; no sovereignty exists; there Is no
| law aud no authority that eau control
the savage elements or become respon-
sible for their good conduct. All that
ever did exist there was rather the
simulacrum than the reality of nation;
but even such forms anu appearances of
| DO wer as once maintained a KIM of half
, control have been swept away by the re-
| yolutiuns and wars and the lapse OF
so overeignty eonseq uent upon these. That
| is the condition, and if our government
does not recognize this fact aud act upon
| it the people of Texas will be fully justi-
fed in utilizing the preparations they
have already made to def 3nd themselves

MR.. BLAINE'S DAUGHTE ALICE.
THE SAD NEWS THAT PRosTR ATED THE
SENATOR FROM MAINE.

THE SAD NEWS THAT PhOSTh MED III E
SENATOR FROM MAINE.
A private letter from Augusta, Me-,
gives the particulars of the sad accident
to Senator Blaine's daughter Alice. She
is sixteen years of age, very pretty, full
of talent, charming and popular. Talk
ing with gentleman on Saturday even
ing in the parlor of her fathers house,
she toyed and played with tiny pistol
that belonged to her brother. The visi-
tor begged her to put it away, although
it was unloaded, and spoke gravely of
using even empty pistols as playthings.
When he arose to 60 away she laughing
iy ran up stairs to her brothers room,
got cartridge and put it in the cylinder
and came bounding down, calling TO her
friend, who was passing out of the front
yard, to see her shoot. But before she
had levelled the weapon, in her gleeful
hurry she pressed the trigger, and the
ball struck b " N her eyes, passing up
ward. Miss d line clasped her head
with her hanuo, and crying, "Oh, am
shotm fell to the floor.
Surgeons have probed for the ball, but
cannot find it. The child suffers terribly.
Inflammation of the brain is feared, but
the surgeons give the family hope.

Brethren, pause and think what will be-
