fant was in the arms Of the plaintiffs
mother. Mutt was fashionably dressed
and wore light side whiskers a Piccadilly
collar. and rich jewelry. Tho father Of
Breitmeyer had recovered $500 from him
for the loss Of his daughters services, and
Mutt daintily scanned the testimony given
by the plaintiff in that proceeding as she
told her story. She said that in July. 1876,
he agreed to marry her, and that for a long
time he visited her as her accepted suitor.
He Betrayed her, and when she besought

Legal Right or women to wear Corr

In an indirect way the Supreme Court Of

that she did not take hold Of the strap that
is provided for standing passengers. She
set up ON the other hand that she could
not reach or hold the strap, owing to the
stays which she wore. and that with the
present fashions no lady can do 30, at least
without Inconvenience and possible injury.
The lower court decided that the lady, in

is question Of some sociological impor-
tance to know how this decision would be

as such. II amounts 10 the official proc
lamation that woman shall remain

Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, in an inter

said
cannot understand the obstinate man
ner in which the Republican members Of
Congress are endeavoring 10 delay the in
vestigation proposed by the Democratic
members in reference to the official count
in Louisiana and Florida ON the occasion

confession Of guilt on their part. II !

the frauds that were certainly committed
in order 10 seat Mr.. Hayes in the Pres
Dental chair, their conduct should he in

then they should be expelled from tho

Hayes and those OF his immediate friends,
who have been charged with the commits
sion Of fraud. viii only injure thq great
lnass OF Republicans, while IL wilk prove
beneficial to only few OF the Suspected
ones. II iS certainly sueidal policy.
The Washington Evening Post. of May

When Mr.. Blaine was on the floor of the
House Of Representatives, last Friday, just

Mr.. Bright's intended speech upon the

attention in advance among English ecOno~

and it is expected that he will suggest an
expenditure of 430, 100000 on such works
but experienced officials urge that the money
would be more judiciously expended in
building railroads, which would be available
for a speedy transportation Of provisions
while the canals would be a source of much
disease and mortality.
1t is probable that the celebrated
Krupp gun, with which the whole of the
German artillery is at present armed, will be
superseded before very long by another
weapon. Experiments have been lately
made in the foundry ct Spandau with bronze
steel, prepared by the Ucnatius method, and
these have been so successful that the in.
speetor-general of the German artillery has
definitely decided to adopt it as a material
for the manufacture of ordinance; aud, in
the first instance, has ordered several siege
guns to be made of the new compound. The
construction of these guns is lOO> ed upon as
the first step toward the complete substitu,
ton of bronze steel for steel ordinance in the
German army.

Richard Grant Whites Apology for
Slang.

In slang, humor or implied fun or
satire of some sort is more or less an ele-
ment. For example, when a gentleman
who is inclined to talk somewhat tedi-
ously upon a subject which he has at
heart, and on which his hearers are not
much inclined to listen, is told to hire
& hall, he is generally able to see some
satire, and the others some fun, in the
recommendation. Slang has. in many
cases, a pith and pungency which makes
it not only pardOnable but tOlerable. 1t
often expresses feeling, if not thought,
of the passing day, which could not be
so forcibly expressed, for the dsy, in any
other phraseology. 1t is generally evan
escent; but sometimes it endures and
becomes a recognized vocabulary Of q
language. For example, the word mob
was originally slang; it is supposed to
be a cOntraction-the first syllable of
DaOb'e UuGllGs, scOrnful phrase for the
lowest order of common people. Tandem,
also, was originally a slang word; it Is
Latin for at length, but as applied to
driving horses at length instead Of
abreast, it is just such Latin as nunguGm
Glai7pus for never mind" Another
slang word, swell" meaning grand,
fine, pretentiOus, is now perceptibiy
passing into the recognized vocabulary OF
good usage. It IS q very convenient
and expressive word, and is now used by
the best speakers OF English, without
/ hesitation. 1t can hardly fail 10 appear
in " the dictionary" of the next genera
tion,
