Our Tongue.

Mr.. Washington Moon has written a
new work on bad English. Some Of
the errors which he singles out are
decidedly amusing. For example:
A furrisr, lamenting in an advertise
ment the tricks played on the public By
unprincipled men in his owe trade,
Earnestly requests ladies' to bring their
skins, which he promises shall be con-
verted into muffs and boas."

"Did | understand you to say that

Let me clasp you warm; strong hand,
Yours that ever has sustained me,
To the borders Of this land.

How my heart thrilled with Loves triumph
In that hour of woman's pride.
Dreams of thee and all the earth chords
Firmly twinel about my heart
Oh. the bitter. burning anguish

All Thy footsteps TO attend!

But they're sleeping-do not wake them;
They'll learn soon enough 10 weep.

Kiss them Tor me when they wake;
Lead them gently in life's pathway,
Love them doubly for my sake.
Clasp my hand still closer, darling.

SENATOR SMITH has introduced
q bill which amends the last clause
Of section 1850 of the Code Of Civil
Procedure, relating to persons in
competent to act rs administrators
and executors Of the estates of de-
ce eased persons. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
II the sole executor, or all the
executors, are Incompetent, or re-
move or fall to qualify, letters of
administratien, with the will an
noxed, must be issued "as desig-
mated and provided for the granting
OF letters in cases of intestacy."
The words in inverted commas is
the amendment proposed. 1t is
also proposed to amend section 1865,
designating tho order of persons
entitled to administer, by adding
the words, "the relatives Of the de-
ceased being entitled to administer
only when they are entitled to sue
ceed to his personal estate" There
Is likewise an amendment to Sec
ton 1869, declaring that persons
not citizens of the United States or
bona Jfds residents Of the State, are
not competent to act as adminis-
traitors. There are other amend
ments of minor Importance.

Usury Laws.

The Assembly has before 1t a bill
ITO regulate the rate Of interest in
the State'' at eight per cent. It
would be just about as reasonable
to regulate the rate Of insurance,
Of bank dividends, of business
profits, Of the price of wheat or .
piece Of beefsteak ~ to fix the rate
OF interest on money. II there be
: plethora of that commodity it
will enter the market at the best
bid 1t can obtain; if . paucity, why
the rate of interest will BIZ regu-
lated according to the demand
therefor. But to the average NOR
tai . bill to fix interest at an arbi-
trary per centum would be as ridi-
culous as the action of Sir Boyle
Roach ence was when he intro
dRced . bill into the Irish Parlia-
ment providing that after certain
date every pint bottle should hold
: quart. Because Parliament ac-
tually passed this bill, it does not
follow that our Legislature should
play the fool likewise, even though

great deal is expected Of it.-San
