The Pennsylvania Dutch.

IL this great America of ours and
in the very heart Of its oldest and
highest civilization there are whole
communities whose present inhabi-
tants, as well as their ancestors for a
century past, we're born where they
now reside, and yet are almost entire
strangers to the English language,
hundreds and even thousands of
theem not being able to understands
word Of it. Take the counties of
York, Lancaster, Lehigh, Berks, the
northern half Of Bucks, aRd the south
ern half of Dauphin, besides several
other counties in the State, and four
ffths of the people will be found to
entirely ignore the English language
among themselves, and in many com
munities the English speaking tray-
eler Will scarcely be able to find any
one to whom he can make himself
understood, certainly no women.
TIE people are what are known as
Pennsylvania Dutch. They have no
written language, their speech being
simply a dialect, the only anology Of
which with anything else of human
antecedent lies in the fact chat an oc-
casional English, German, French or
Spanish word has been sGndwiched
with strange discOrdance into it. A
great number of the people are Bit
terly opposed to their children learn
ing to speak English, and if allowed
to go to school at all it's to a private
ono with Dutch teacher, and even
at the public schools, where, Of
course, English is taught, the chill
dren relapse into their native jargon
on the playground, as was observed
by the writer while passing a coun-
try school house only few days ago.
In fact in passing through this entire
The Huntington argus. [volume] (Huntington, W. Va.) 1872-1905, 1882-01-11

section of Central Pennsylvania the
ordinary American will find his sur
rOundings, as regards both language
and the social customs of the
people, just as strange and foreign to
his ideas as though he we're in West
phalia or Noway.
And not only this, but he will find
that he is looked upon in the same de-
gree of half-suspicious curiosity, and
as being as much OF an interloper ~
would be the Gaze in the foreign coan-
tries mentioned. This condition Of
things embraces a territory Of many
thousands Of square miles Of the very
finest section Of this great commoa-
wealth and population Of more than
500, 900 people in the very heart Of
cur civilization. The masses or the
Southern people have ever labored
under the impression that during the
late unpleasantRess our army was
very largely recruited from foreign
countries. This view has been held
up to the writer on innumerable occi-
siops, and made to explain our ability
to place such overwhelming armies in
the field. This belief arose from the
frequent capture of these Pennsyl-
vania Dutchmen, who could not in
many cases speak English, and in
their contact with several regiments
of troops raised in this region. And
vet the ancestors Of these soldiers
for generations back we're born upon
this soil. In fact so far as the mat
ter can be traced, this language is III
dgenous to this section, as no people
using the same or similar dialect
are known anywhere else on the face
of the earth. The native Hollander
be he of either high or low Dutch
origin. can no more understand the
people here than can the ordinary
American. As rule they are not
an agreeable people to mingle with
either in business dealings or in social
intercourse.

The chair was vacant. A dissoly-
ing view through the door was all
that was to be seen of the gossip,
who started up the road hurriedly,
leaving peace behind.
Betty said John some half an
hour afterward, what was the sigh
for? l don't care now, but | did
think, dear, and it cut me to the
heart, how you might have married
ricker. l longed to put it ten times
ten into your hand, Betty, and it
CALLED me because | could not.
Betty smiled and twisted away
from his grasp. Running into the
bedroom she presently returned,
still smiling, with bundle rolled up
in o clean towel. This she put on
her husbands knee, who stared at her
wonderingly.
Il did not mean, she said, unpin-
ming the bundle, to get it out now,
but l shall have to. Why, John,
day after tomorrow is your birth
day.
So it is said John. Graciousl has
it come around SO soon?
And you dear boy, said Betty,
shaking out before his eyes pretty
brown affair, all edged with silk Of
the bIuest shade, that presently as
sumed the proportions of dressing
gown, this is to be yoNr present
But you must be dreadfully sur
prised, John, when you get it, fer oh.
/ did not want you to know it,
John made an answer he thought
best. When he spoke again he said,
perplexed, with a small quicker of be-
wilderment settled between his eyes:
But | do not see, Betty, what this
thing, laying one finger on the gown,
had to do with the sigh.
That, said Betty, and then 'she
broke into a merry laugh that got SO
mixed up with the dimples and the
dancing brown eyes that for a mo-
ment. she could not finish. Oh,
John, | was worrying so over those
buttons. They were not good, but
they were the best | could do then
And l only bought them yesterday.
Two whole dozen. And when you
put that $40 bill in my hand l did
nj hardly know it, but suppose |
did give one little bit Of a sigh, for [
wasso provoked that l had not waited
buying them until to-day.
John caught up the little woman
dressing gown and all. l do not
think they have ever quarreled since
at least | have never heard of it.

a Baby Seventeen Years Old.

Monday morning john d. Miller
and wife, Of Newburg- Va, accom-
panied by their small family, arrived
in this place on their way 20 seek g
home in Maryland. They had with
them a child prodigy which was IN
deed curiosity. TWAS born in Fer
guson township, this county, Februa-
ry 1. 1865, and therefore it is seven
teen years of age. 1t weighs twenty
two pounds and Is twenty-five inches
in height. This wonderful pygmy is
of the female sex, and is perfectly
helpless, although it can cry Justify,
and partakes of no food save milk,
which is given through bottle. 1t
is very quick at noticing objects and
knows what is told to it, but cannot
utter word. A sister who had been
away for three years was Instantly
recognized by it on her return, and it
seemed delighted to see her. Cur

THE FIRsT QUARREL

Betty sighed. Now why she
should have sighed at this particular
moment no one on earth could tell.
And it was all the mere ezasPerating
because John had just generously put
late her little shapely hand a bran
new ten-dsllar bill. And here began
the trouble.
Whats the natter he asked,
his face falling at thefaint sound and
his molina slaRRing tpsetAesi IN s'hat
these who knew him but little called
an obstinate pueker, "NOw what IS
itY
Betty, who had just begun to
change the sigh into merry little
laugh ripping all over the corners
Of the red lips, stopped suddenly,
tossed her head, and with small
Jerk noway cOnciliatory, sent out the
words:
"YOu needn'tinsinuate, John, that
/ am always troublesome"
81 didn't insinu&te-whO's talking
of insiEuating?" cried he, thoroughly
incensed at the very idea, and backing
away few steps he glared down
from tremendous hight, in extreme
irritation. "Its youself who is for
ever insinuating and all that, and
then for you to put it on me-it's
really abominable."
THE voice was harsh, and the eyes
thatleoked down into hers were not
pleasant to behold.
"And if you think, John Peabody
hat III stand AID have such things
said to nae, YOU miss your guess
hats ALL" cried Betty, with two big
red spots coming in her cheeks, as
she tried to draw her little erect figure
70 its utmost dimensions. "Forever
insiRuatingI l guess you wouldn't
have said that before I married you.
Oh, now YOU can, of coursc!"
Didn't you say it first, Ia ike to
knows cried John, in great excite
ment, drawing nearer the small
creature he called wife" who was
gazing at him with blazing eyes Of
indignation; II can't endure every
thing"
"And if you bear more than I do, :
cried Betty, whOlly beyond control
now, why, then, I'll give up" and
she gave a bitter little laugh and
tossed her head again.
And here they were in the midst
of a QUARREL These two who, but a
year before, had promised to love
and protect and help each ether

The length OF time that COW goes
dry has quito as much to do with
her value as q mixer as her butter
product per week. Going dry for a
long period is a matter Of habit, and
if young heifer is not MIXED until
pretty near her time for calving,
her value as COW will be greatly
lessened thereafter. After dryingup
once for three or four months before
calving it is very difficult to get a
COW to give paying amount Of milk
later than this date at subsequent
time.
