An Apology for Slang.

In slang, humor or implied fun or
satire of some sort is more or less an
element. For example, when gentle
man who is inclined to talk somewhat
tediously upon a subject which he has
at heart, and on which his hearers are
not much inclined to listen, is told to
/" hire hail. he is generally able to
see some satire and the others some
fun in the recommendation. Slang has,
in many cases, pith and pungency
which make it not only pardonable, but
tolerable. 1t often expresses a feeling,
if not thought, of the passing day,
which could not be so forcibly ex-
pressed-for the day-in any other
phraseology. 1t is generally evanes-
cent; but sometimes it endures and
becomes a part of the recognized vocal
ulary of q language. For example, the
word mob was originally slang. 1t is
supposed to be contraction-the first
syllable of mobile Us1lgus, scornful
phrase for the lowest order of common
people. Tandem, also, was originally
q slang word. 1t is Latin for "at
length;' but as applied to driving two
horses at length instead of abreast, it ID
Just such Latin as ssssnqssans 0ninus for
snever mind" Another slang word.
ssoen, meaning grand, fine. pretentious,
is now perceptibly passing into recog-
nized vocabulary Of good usage. 1t is
q very convenient and expressive word,
and is used now by the best speakers of
English without hesitation. 1t can
hardly fail to appear in the dictionaries
Of the next generation. Richard Grant

INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS.

in Robertson County. KY, few
DAYS ago, q man named Blankenship,
who had been indicted as an accom-
plice in murder, went to a grave
yard, exhumed a body, disfgured it,
set it afloat in the Licking River, and
then had the report spread that the
corpse was his own, hoping thus to get
his bondsmen released.
Two silly young couples, all be-
tween the ages of sixteen and nineteen,
were walking on the streets at Woon-
socket, the other day, when one of the
party stumped'' the rest to get mar
ried, and married they were within a
few minutes. The parents of the chill
dren were disposed to make fuss at
first, but finally concluded to make the
best of it.-Boston Post.
Love will find out way. At Ot-
tawa, Ont, not long ago, maiden,
whose pa was opposed to her marriage,
invited all her friends to be present at
her wedding at designated church and

while he was waiting to forbid the

Conccaling Plunder.

Doubtless there are no two persons
living whom the people and press of
Western Massachusetts will be more
delighted to have crowded out of sight
and mind than the Northampton Bank
burglars. But there are few more
things to be said about them before
they are finally consigned to the OBJ
livion of prison workshop. One of
the items of their historic career, about
which the public has been anxious to
know, ever since it was ascertained that
the bulk of the stolen securities re-
mained in town awhile after the rob-
berry, has been the local hiding-place
of those bonds. Suspicion has long
pointed to the Bridge-street school
house, so often mentioned during the
trials as containing the attic where the
burglars camped while maturing their
plans. This was, in fact, the hiding
place of the bonds; but they were not
hid, however, under the platform, but
inside of an inclosed and stationary
bench, which was fastened to the wall
at the right of the teachers chair.
This bench was made for little children
to sit on, and the wall above it is paint
ed black, SO that they can stand on the
bench and draw. The burglars made
skillful preparation for depositing the
plunder while it was yet lying behind
the doors of the bank vault. They first
cut the nails that fastened down the
top of the bench by running cold
chisel under the top-b9ard so that they
ceased to hold, although the nail-heads
on the surface of the board showed no
signs of having been disturbed. Holes
were then bored in the board, and large
screws inserted to hold it down, the
heads being sunk below the surface and
covered with beeswax, exactly the col
or of the board. The concealment of
these screws was thus made so perfect
that the bank officers had trouble to
find them few months ago, when they
opened the bench at the suggestion of
the burglars. The latter told them
after the jury trial that they would find
enough under that bench to satisfy
them that the bonds had been there,
also remarking that they would have to
g find the screws before they took off
the cover. When two of the Directors,
who went to the school-house to make
an examination, saw the bench was APP
parently nailed down, one said to the
other, "they have lied to u.s." but,
after little investigation, the screws
were found, and, when the cover was
off, quite collection of burglars tools
and Cashier Whittlesey's bunch of keys,
marked with his name, and missed
since the robbery, were revealed to the
eyes of the wondering bank men. The
school-house had been in use in the in
terval since the robbery. springfield

EpHRAIx DAr, a farmer, residing near Cres-
ton, vas arrested, on the 14th, upon the charge
Of railroad-wrecking. Early last spring, Day
had two of his horses killed by passing
train. The Railroad Company claimed that,
on account Of the peculiar character of the ac-
cident, they were not liable for damages.
From that time dates his anilnosity to the
road, and it is charged that early in November
he placed two ties on the track, intending to
obstruct the passage of the passenger-train,
but it was delayed and freight came In con-
tact with the ties. The engine was thrown of
and considerable damage done. The company
have been on the alert for the perpetrator of
the outrage, and on the 14th the matter cul-
minated in the arrest of Day, while cutting
down telegraph-pole. He was equipped with
an ak and a chisel, the latter to be used in eff
fectually destroying the wire. The officers ar
rested him without resistance, but he after
ward escaped and was retaken. He has con-
fessed the whole business and seems to feel the
enormity of his crime.

heart on certain costly Japanese vase
offered at recent sale. She had
spoken to her husband about it, but he
had discouraged her thinking Of it, say
ing it would be too high. But she
went to the auction unknown to him;
and he, unknown TO her, dropped If
during the morning, thinking that he
would strain point and buy II, in
possible, to please her. The vase was
put up, and the bidding was lively for
time. At last there were but two
bidders, and both were In dead earnest.
The excitement ran high; the figure
reached was far above the real value,
but both persisted. Atlast one Of the
two gave out, and abe went home to
tell her husband Of her chagyis. only to
learn that she had been bidding against
him. and thatathe vase was hers at .
