A Gent.

Mr.. Bartlett, in his Dictionary Of
Americanisms, gives gent as an abre.
Walton of gentleman, but it has been
reserved for the Slang Dictionary to
define its precise position in the scale
OF descent. CENTS said by this au-
thority to be contraction of gentle
man in more senses than one-a
dressy, snowy, foppish man, with o
little mind, who vulgarizes the pre-
vailing fashion" AS the gent is thus
product and representative of GER
tam fitness in the word which char
acterizes him. Being only nomi-
nal part of gentleman, it is we'll to
have his name bear witness to that
fact. Language, even in its cor
ruptions thus becomes the guardian
and vehicle of truth.
A witticism of Count d. Orsay H.
lustrates the significance of the word
gent better than some graver expo
sitiols. The story is that he and
Tom Allen went to dine at the house
of II Hebrew millionaire, and on their
arrival overheard one of the hosts
hunkevs saying to another, "The
gents are come" "Gents! echoed
Allen. What a wretched low fel.
low! It's only worthy public
house" CT beg your pardon" re.
piled the count, 1T is quite correct.
The man is is Jew. He means to
say the Gentiles have arrived; gent
is short for Gentle" This JeW d
esprit, as the narrator wickedly calls
it, had truth as we'll as wit, for Gen
tile, from the Latin gems, has the
same origin as gentleman.
The word gent formerly did duty
al adjective, old English writers
using it to express the softer quail
ties of the female sex. A "lady
gent" instead of being lady's man
or coxcomb, was an elegant or gen
tie lady. Doubtless, an element of
softness is associated with gent as a
noun, but being connected with the
head rather than the heart, the per-
petuation of the quality can hardly
he considered desirable.

A Plank that was Left Out.

We have not seen mention IN the
telegraph of plank for the Repub-
hcan platform, Which Chicago pa
pers say was prepared by Edward
Pierrepont and by him submitted to
the Committee on Resolutions:
Ninth-We affirm our belief in the
constant guiding and inspiring pres
ence of disembodied souls beings
from better world, who, freed from
the limitations of the finite and
emanoipated from the enthrallment
of the gross and corporeal, still how
er around and over us, in pure, love-
ly spirituality, directing US by their
unspoken counsel, warning us of
dangers unseen, rejoicing in our JOY,
sorrowing in our grief, glorying in
our triumphs. We declare our
fixed and unalterable conviction that,
by methods we'll understood, and
through channels well established
by evidence aud experience, these
diselnbodied intelligenees from time
to time communicate with us for our
lnformation and spiritual elevation;
and we invoke their aid, guidance
and controlling influence in the ap.
preaching political canvass.
On the reading of this resolution
by Judge Pierrepont, chairman of
the committee, it is said that Mr..
Steck, of Colorado, moved it be laid
upon the table. This motion was
supported in speeches by E. A.
Storris, of Illinois, H. H. Harrison,
of Tennessee, William Walker Phelps
of New Jersey, and Mr.. Youngblood
of Alabama; while Mr.. Pierrepont
earnestly pleaded for its admission
into the committees report, in order
that the sense of the convention
might be taken upon it. Finally the
resolution was tabled by vote of
SO to /. This was the only plank
upon which there was much discus
sion.

The First American Congress-.

The interposition of Divine Pro-
vidence was eminently conspicuous
In the first general Congress. What
men! what patriots! what independ-
ent, heroic spirits! Chosen by tho
unbiased people, e,-chosen, as public
servants ought to be, without favor
and without fear,-what an august
assembly of sages! Rome, in the
height OF her glory, fades before it.
There never was, in any age or ma
ton, 4 body OF men, who, for gener-
al information, for the judicious use
OF the results of civil and political
history, for eloquence and virtue,
for true dignity, elevation, and
grandeur of soul, could stand O
comparison with the first American
Congress-! See what the people will
do when left to themselves, to their
unbiased good sense, and to their
true interests! The ferocious Gaul
would have dropped his sword at
the hall-door, and have fed, thuu-
derstruck, as from an assembly of
gods!
Whom do I behold "A Hancock.
a Jefferson, an Adams, Henry, o
Lee, a Rutledge! Glory to your i'm
mortal spirits! On you depend the
destinies OF your country; the fate
OF three millions of men, and the
countless millions of their rosteri.yl
Shall these be slaves, or will you
make noble stand for liberty.
against power whose triumphs are
already co-extensive with the earth:
whose lesions trample on thrones
and sceptres; whose thunders below
on every ocean? How tremendous
the occasion! How vast the respon-
sibility!
The President and all the MEM
beis of The august assembly take.
their seats. Every countenance tells
the mighty struggle within. Every
tongue Id silent. It is Il pause in
nature,-that solemn, awful still
ness, which precedes the earthquake
and tornado! At length Demos
themes, arises, s,-he only is adequate
to the great occasion-the Virgianian.
Demosthenes, the mighty HenryF
What dignity! What majesty! Every
eye fastens upon him. Firm, erect,
.undaunted, he rells on the mighty
torrent of his eloquence.
What picture does he draw Of
the horrors of servitude and the
charms of freedom! At once he
gives the full reign to all his gigan-
tic powers, and pours his own heroic
spirit into the minds of his auditors;
they become as one man -actuated
by one soul; and the universal shout
is " Liberty or DeathT This single
speech of this illustrious man, gave
an impulse which probably decided
the fate of America.

self as we'll. Gen. Hancock was
the idol of his corps and the admira-
tion of the Army of the Potomac.
Not one other man, not even Grant
himself or Mcclellan, ever received
the ovation and cheering recognition
of worth from the old veterans of
the army which Hancock re ceived
on the ill starred battlefield of Fred
ericksburg. When Mcclellan met
tho disorganized and fleeing army
beyond Chain Bridge. Hancock's =
charge upon Marye's Hill and Sick
les return to the army after the loss
of a leg at Gettysburg, were the
three events where the love of the
soldier for his general moved the
Army of the Potomac to the greatest
demonstrations of enthusiasm. For
Mcclellan, the lines closed and
struggling route became resolute
army. Old soldiers crowded around
and wspt at sight of their woundad ID

to death by thousands, cheering

The Republican party needs every

OK the Sth of June, Field Mar
shall Murat Halstead, having no idea
thai Garfield was possibility, said
in his Cincinnati Commercial: The
most contemplate thing thus far at
Chicagois the chatter about Garfield.
He has not II record to run on for
President, and it is extreme foolish
ness to be wasting time on him"
The next day the facile Halstead
telegraphed to Garfield. II will
support you cordially" The con-
tempt is now probably transferred.-

The present center of interest to
English geologists is a newly-dis-
covered fossil forest in an Oldham
quarry. About a dozen trees have
been found, some of them over
two feet in diameter. Near their
roots are numerous impressions OF
ferns and other plants. 1t is con-
side,ed somewhat remarkable that,
although the trees belong to the
middle coal-measure period, no coal
has been found near them.
