LONDON, Aug 1s.-Gambet:s, some
days ago, made a great political speech
at Lille, the publication Of which hith-
erto has been prevented by fear of
censorship. G.mbetta expressed great
confidence as TO the result of the cleo
tious, and spoke with his usual bitter
ness against Bonaparti-ts, whom he
satigmatized as tie party of invasion
He said the charge OF latent radicsllsm
which was brought forward as the eN
cuse for dissolviug the Chamber was an
ambiguity and falsehood. Relative
20 the assertion of reactionary papers,
that President NcMahon has not been
obliged to submit to the will of the ma
ton, as expressed by the coming cleo
tions, Gambetta said: at is in vain
that such things are said, or rather al
lowed te'be said, in the hope that they
will cheer the failing hearts of the
Governments auxilaries When the
sole authority to which all must bend,
don. .h:aa H.. any one Is strong
enough to oppose it; don't think that
when millions of electors of the free
soil of France have made their choice,
that there will oe one- whatever be
his degree, that could resist. Believe
me, when France has pronounced her
sovereign will, there must either be
submission or resignation"

DEFINES THEIR POSITION.

The Portland Bee, the organ Of Sena-
tor Mitchell. comes out in late issue
and clearly disclaims any purpose on
the part Of the advocates Of the Port
land, Dalles and Salt Lake enterprise to
solici. the reverted lapds withdrawn in
favor of the northern branch of the
Northern Pacific railroad. in aid Of the
building of the former road.
Tho tone of the Bee gives forth TO
uncertain sound. Here is what it says:
mr.. Whitson has good idea Of the
situation. except regarding the transfer
proposition. He is right in saying there
is no more hope for II railroad by the
northern branch route; he is.right in
saying that the lands along The route
should repert 10 the goserameat and be
opened % settlement, for that is just what
the friends Of the Salt Lake road wish
to have done; but lie - wrong in saying
that it is proposed to take those lands
as aid for an Oregon road As he JUST,
Pacific railroad company hangs like a
shadow over tho lands on their once
proposed northern branch route. shut
ting out the right Of settlers to occupy
those lands Now the proposition is to
remove that "shadow"--not the land
from said lands in Washington Terrific.
ny and hsId it over the same amount OF
- q 81. Il
Salt Lake. This will free the lands in
Washington Territory and grant Oh
equal amount between Umatilla and
Ogden in aid Of the Salt Lake railroad
The proposition to transfer the speci-
fled grant mot the lsnd) was originated
by the incorporators Of the Salt Lake
railroad company, and Senator Mitchell
approves its wisdom in his letter to the
President of the Company. We would
like to have the grounds Of this propo-
sition understood by all, whether or
not it meets their approval. Appreci-
ating the almost universal objection to
any further grant Of the public domain.
the friends of the Salt Lake road say
to Congress: give us as much land as
tuo NottntIH IaciHc hDaDuOus tuat
will not be further grant"
We heartily endorse the Bees posi-
ton Is defined, which we understand
to be that favored by Senator Mitchell
Two things We believe are settled past
recall. LIST. The lapse Of the N. p
northern branch grant to Governm
settlement. ID, The hopelessness of
any new land grants to railroads here
after.
If. however, instead of allowing the
old grant to lapse entirely, Congress
would re-afiirm to the N. Z. Co. the
part along their line between Walla
Walla and the Missouri, at the same
time bestowing lien subsidy equal TO
half the branch grant upon the Salt
Lake extension. and the other half
upon the Seattle and wslla walls. it
would not only be equitable, but ma
tional benefit.

An amusing instance was told HaDp-
ton, Va, correspondent, of tie quick
wittedness of a negro preacher, who had
elaborated new theory of the exodus, to
wit, that the Red Sea got frozen over and
30 afforded tho Israelites a safe passage !;
but when Pharoah with his heavy iron
chariots attempted it, they broke through
and were drowned. A brother rose and
asked for an explanation of the point.
"pee been studying geography, and the Cog
raphy says dat be very warm country

les too hot for freeziu'. De pint to be
'splained is bout breakin' through the ice"

Who WILL TAKE CARE OF THEM 1T
is commonly supposed that engineers get
80 accustomed to fast running that they are
unmindful of the perils which beset them
during every minute of their journeys. This
is a mistake. They appreciate the dangers
of their occupation. and, though it is rare
that an engineer falters in his duty, they
do not, as a rule, like to exceed a certain
speed. This aversion to extraordinary
|r1nning was illustrated in the remark of an
oIH engineer, yesterday, when Informed
onaG 9e must take out one of the fast trains
on Monday. Removing his SLOUGH hat,
ana running his fingers nervously through
MS mar, the old engineer, who has made
an sorts OF time, in daylight aud darkness,
LOT twenty years said: " All right, boss,
III take her through, but who'll take care
OF my wife and FIVE children if anything
shculd happen " The remark showed that
engineers sometimes, perhaps often, think
OF their families at the same time they are
watching their engines, and that there are
some things that they like better than run
ping hfsy miles an hour Chicago ITnles.

| In ore of the charming letters of Mar
| garet Lucas, Duchess of Cleveland, writ
ten two hundred years ago, she says
Children should be taught at first the

| and the most significant words, and not
as their nurses teach them, a strange Kind
| Of gibberidge. broken language Of their o,en

! heaped together, or hash'd, mlired or minced;
so do they the purest of their language ;
as, for example, when nurses teach chill
dren to go, instead of saying Co. they say
DO, do and instead of saying, Come to
me- they say 'Ium to me;' and when they
newly come out of sleep and cannot we'll
open their eyes, they do not say, My child
cannot we'll open his or her eyes, tus, 'My
child tant open it's nies;' and when they
should Did them speak they bid them
peak and when they should ask them if
they will OF would drink, they ask them if
they will 'dink' And so ali tho rest of
the language they teach children is after
this manner. Likewise they learn them
the .rudest language first; as to bid them
say such an one lies, or to call them rogues
and the like names, and then laugh as If it
were witty jest"
These suggestions of the Duchess are
exceedingly timely. This excellent lady
never bad any children herself, but she
wouiC have doubtless made them speak

them. 1t ls this early inoculaton of slang

The remedy lies in the abandonment of
the dialect of the nursery. There is no
reason why pure English should not be
babitually spoken in the childreu's realm.
The present dialect OF the nursery is not
different from that in Use two hundred
years ago, in the Duchess of Clevelaad's
time. 1t is o dialect which sbouid have
no place in the household. It is an enemy
of the glorious English language. The
grating of slang phrases on an infant
memory is simply an atrocity. AS to the
hating pronunciation of words, instead of
encouraging it, it should be corrected.
