SLANG PHRASES.

Most slang phrases have d history: Tho
expression, "He is in the Dumps" is very
common, and is supposed to be derived from
"Dumpos, king Of Egypt; who built apyra-
mid aud died Of fteldHtho1$% SO that the
thieves and gypsies are not all TO blame Tor
having given US nv expressive words'
We reSt SOME uFoh word full ofPathetic
meaning for many Of US; it is the ghost that
haunts and pursues us more or less through
out the year-it is the word "dun." 1t Is
word of consequence for il is at once a verb
and noun, and is derived from the Saxon
word "dunan," to din or clamor. 1t owes
its immortality-so tradition says-to hav'
ing been the surname of one Joe Duh; fa-
nous bailif Of Iincolh; in the reign OF
Henry VII. who was so active and dexetrou6
in collecting bad debts that when any ons
bectme "s,ow to pay" the neighbors used
to say "Dun him"-that is; "send Ddh after
him" "Draw it mild" owes its originality
to violin playing. Pile word "coach," APP
Piled to tutor, is of university origin, hhd
can boast of logical etymology. II is pun
upon the term "gctting on fast" To get ort
fast you must take coach; you cannot get
on fast in learning without private tutnr
ergo, private tutor is coach. Another
familiar word in university slang is "a reg
ular bricR"-that is, a jolly good fellow; and
how the smile is logically deducted isamu-
sing enough. A brick is deep-red; deep
read man man is brick. To read like a
brick is to read till you are deep-tead. A
deep read man is, in university phrase, "a
good man." a good man is a "jolly fellow"
with reading men-ergo, jolly fellow

4 TRiRnTE TO HIS WIFE.

General Garfield, in recent conversations
with George Alfred Townsend, paid a hne
Tribute 10 his wife, who in early life was q
pupil of his at school. ~ taught her Latin"

IAPAN;S MINERAL WEALTHi !

The Jdpahese have now a completely or.
ganizod geological survey, with full staff
of native surveyors, under an American,
chief; Mr.. B. s. Lyman. The first report of
progress of this survey for 1889, LAS just
been published, and contains some aeeutatS
and valuable information on the mineral
wealth of the country. Mr.. Lyman teSkOns
that the coal fields Of Western Japan com
tain about 62O 100000 tons, and il one third
be deducted for the working, there will re-
main 400, ,OOO,O 900 tons, representing value
at the coast Of one thousand milIicn dollars:
Inconsiderable as this is in 60fhpSrison with
the large and rich coal Fields Of other lands,
it is quite equal in 3siie 70 all tbs metal
products together except iron. The copper
of all the workable mines scarcely reaches
the value Of $3.50 900 600; the eight or ten
gold aud silver mines, which we're formerly
worked and may be so again, may, includ-
ing the lead, antimony and tin mines, the
workability of which is doubtful, be valued
at not more than $3.50 900 900 On Tie 6ther
hand, the value of the iron amounts to St
least $3.50 900, 100000. TIE relative import
ance Of the mineral products may be repres-
ented by the following numbers; Iron, 1000;
coal, A. copper, 5; all other metals Chiefly

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE Times, after
expressing satisfaction that it was mistaken in
supposing the courts would not punish Kear-
ncy, says, i'll the conclusion of a long article /:
"NO sentence was ever more richly earned
than the one which the San Francisco police
court has pronounced upon kearney. LII to
be hoped not only that it will be fully exc
cuted upon him, but also that other ringlead-
ers of the mob may receive an equal measure
of Justice, and that the communistic mayor,
kalloch, after being impeached and removed
from Office for the use of incendiary language,
may be sent to join kearney at the peniten-
tiary.'
The Htey-Ocedn alone considers the SEN
tence severe and likely to restore to him the
leadership OF his dupes.

WashingGOa Gossip.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The House COM
mittee of foreign affairs has disposed of two
long pending matters known as the " Chinese
indemnity fund" Representative Wilson
was authorized to report to the House for
passage his bill which provides that the "Chi-
nese indemnity fund.-" now under control of
the Secretary of State, shall be paid over to
the government of China, except that a sum
shall be retained sufficient in the opinion of
the executive TO pay the amounts which may
be awarded by the court of claims to the
owner of the bark Caldera, and such further
sum as may be necessary to indemnify the
owners of the ship Forest Belle for The plum
der and destruction of said ship. Represent
tative Cox was also instructed to report his
bill to the House with favorable
datiOn. The bill directs the President to pay
to the government of Japan $7S5 900 in gold
coin, now under control of the State Depart
ment, with interest. The bill further directs
the President from the increase and accrued
interest upon said Japanese fund to pay to the
officers and crew of the United States ship
Wyoming $125, 900 for meritorious service in
the destruction of hostile vessels in the Straits
of Shimonozki, in July 1868, and to theofi-
GERS and crew of the steamer of Takiang for
similar service during September, 1864.
The general appropriation bills are. now
ready and will be t.. ken up at once to the ex-
clusicn of other bills SO that several days may
elapse beyond the day set before the debate
upon the funding bill is entered upon.
Meanwhile the opinion is gaming ground
among the members that % per cent. is the
proper interest for the new bonds to bear.

Overland travel hitherto has been very hard
Oh the immigrant. Though fresh and rosy
when they land from the steamships, the pill
grims are so utterly worn upon their arrival
in the far West that for months they are good
for nothing. The Union Pacific Company
are preparing a remedy, and the 'yellow
sleeper will be known before long oil the
line of that railroad. The first of these
coaches reached Omaha the other day. The
coach is of ordinary size. II is furnished with
seats made of light wood and set in iron
frames, and with berths that fold up like the
Pullman coaches. Both the seats and berths
are constructed of Stats, which insures clean
illness and GOODNESS. They are oiled and var
nished, preserving the natural color. The
seats fold up when in Use during the day, and
at night are extended to form the beds. The
upper berths are divided by a partition about
four inches high, which prevents any seiishly
inclined passenger from occupying a whole
one. There are six sections OH each side, and
each section containing two double berths,
the car has accommodations for forty-eight
persons. The heating and toilet arrangements
are simple but efficient. Twenty-Five of these
coaches will be built, all being painted vel
low.

A Family Horror.

BosToN, March 17..Iomer Wellington;
who lately withdrew from the firm of Utley
& Boynton, commission merchants, has been
arrested at the instance of his f~ather-in-law
or the charge of being a defaulter and forger.
The Wellington family have been seriously
sick at times, the disease being called gastric
fever. The infant son and wife recently be-
CAME i'll. She bought some porlldge which
her husband prepared for her, and analysis
showed arsenic sufficient to kill ten persons.
Arsenic was found in the possession Of We'll
lington when arrested. lie is said to have
made a confession. The police say his in
fatuation for another woman was the cause of
his crime.

A dispatch received yesterday announces
that President HAYES has confirmed the SELL
tence of dismissal pronounced against Major
Reno by the court martial. A strong effort
was made by high army officers, who ought to
have more respect for their calling, to have
the sentence revoked or materially modified,
mad the backbone necessary to order the en-
forcement of the courts decree. An officer
who has not enough selt-respect to deport
himself as a gentleman. who is an habitual
sot and an insulter of women, is a disgrace
to the noble profession of arms, and Reno
should consider himself fortunate that he has
escaped with as light a penalty as dismissal
from service.

The Yellowstone journal of the 9th inst.
says: LAST night at 8 O'Clock, just as we
were going to press, a pistol shot was fired in
the direction of the jail. Immediately our
reporter started for the Jail, and found that
during the absence of the jailor-less than
half an hour-Gus Johnson and Sam Traster,
two notorious d~esperadoes, had succeeded in
prying back with a stick one of the logs of the
Jail, forming the partition between the cell
and the ~jailor's room, and escaped. taxing with
them in their flight a couple Of rifles and two
belts OF ammunition. While working their
way out they shut the other prisoners in all
other cell and threatened to kill them should
they give the alarm. Steps were Immediately
taken to re-capture the fleeing prisoners, and
a reward of 500 was offered by our Sheriff
for their recovery. No blame can be attached
to the officers, as the jail was thought to be as
secure as any III the Territory. Strong hopes
are entertained that this brace of bully boys
will be secured before twenty-four hours.

Colorado miners are pleased with a new
matchmaking apparatus which Professor
Silliman, of Yale College, says "will develop
anew the age of gold" The amalgamator is
intended to save minute particles of gold in
dry placer diggings. The machine, substan-
TALLY constructed of iron, and weighing
about 5000 pounds, is movable on wheels.
1t is accompanied by a two-horse traction
engine, and is therefore wholly portable.
The Pioneer companies each have a one-halt
interest in twenty-five of these machines and
their products. These companies are stocked
at forty-four shares each. and such is the
confidence of the shareholders that the stock
is about all held at figures which closely
approach the prices formerly offered for
Edison's electric light stock.

Denis Kearncy is reported to have been
very much surprised yesterday, when he was
adjudged guilty of a misdemeanor, and SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for six morths in the
house of correction and to pay a fine of 81, 200.
He doubtless had an idea that he was above
the law. and that none of its officers dare
lay their profane hands on his sacred person.
If he spends six months of his valuable time
IN the house of correction, he will probably
form a different conclusion, and will, perhaps,
thereafter behave himself as a law-abiding
citizen instead of all incendiary and loud
Imprisonment will probably save the people
Of San Francisco from the necessity of hang
ing him.

UNITY.

As compared with the Democrats, the Re-
publicans claim to be the party of peace, unity
and brotherIy love, but if its condition in the
Eastern States is typifed by its condition in
Montana, it is better entitled to distinction as
the party of jealousy, discord and strife. The
Republican executive committee, composed of
three Helena gentlemen, seem to be
in an agony of apprehension lest the
control Of the convention, if they Or
der one, will be wrested from their hands.
They have come to Il realizing sense of the
fact that Lewis and Clarke county has ceased
to be the Territory of Montana, and as there
is a strong probability that in the event of a
convention being called, Lewis and Clarke
county will not be allowed to decide upon
the appointment of a delegate to Chicago,
the Executive Committee, in c~onclave as
sembled, have evidently determined to have
no convention and to do the appointing them
selves. They are a long-headed committee.
The Helena Herald is, of course, standing in
with this plot to defraud the Republicans
of the right to exercise their voice in the

honor of representing in the national conven-
ton the high minded Republicans of this
territory, and is in addition actuated by the
wholesome fear that if any other delegate is
appointed at a convention instructions will
be given him to support Grant or Sherman,
whose success in the Presidential arena would
be rulnous to his fondest hopes. But he does
not come out and openly advocate the neglect
of the time honored custom of holding a
convention, where the people may make
themselves heard. He is well aware of tile
bad odor in which the avowal or support of
such a purpose would place him. He accord
ingly places the responsibility on the shoulders
of The executive committee, and when refer
ring to the convention uses the phrase "if
that may be deemed necessary plainly indi-
eating that he does not deem it necessary, for
if he did he would boldly advocate its being
called. Tn holding of Territorial Repub-
lican convention is equivalent to the humilia-
ton and defeat of the political dignitaries of
Lewis and Clarke county, and the delegate
selected would be the choice of the people,
instead of "a coterie of political gentlemen"
as a prominent Deer Lodge Republican init
mates in a letterto the Deer Lodge paper. The
Republicans Of this county, as well as of
Madison, Missoula and Beaverhead counties,
are becoming aroused at the boldness and
iniquity of the plot, and unless a territorial
convention is called by the executive COM
mittee, so that The Republicans OF Montana
may have a voice ii the selection of a repre-
sentative to 90 to Chicago, there will be a
very healthy fight within the party of oneness
and brotherly love. Sail in gentlemen.
