A Lexicographer's Use of Words.

The following exercise is offered as COM
panion to the "School Teachers Exercise iu
English Pronunciation" lately published in
the Journal of Education. The reader may
discover by the following extract that it would
be possible to write technically grammatical
sentence which would be almost unintelligible.
The words below are all to be found in the
dictionary, and all are grammaticaily used; and
yet the thing is as hopelessly dark as If written
in Cherokee. It is an amusing illustration OF
the fact that one may write English, or speak
it, and still use an unknown tongue. The fol-
lowing purports to be note from an author to
a critic: "Sir: you have behaved like an i'm
petiginous scroyle Like those inquinate, Grass
sciolists who, envious of my moral celsitude,
carry their nugacity to the height Of creating
symposically the facund words, which my
polymathio genius uses with liberty to abligate
the tongues Of the weetlessl Sir, you have
crassly parodied my own pet words, as though
they were tangrams. L will not concervate re-
proaches-I would obduce veil over the atra-
mental ingratitude which has chamfered even
my undiscerptible heart. / am silent on the
foScillation which my coad1uvancy must have
given you when offered to become your fautor
and adminicle will not speak OF the bppi-
tuuo, eho aui0PSJ' Jou 10 . onO"h - SH1eo
batting me-one whose genius you should have
approached with mental discalceation. So
tell you, sir, syncophically, and without super
vasaneous words, nothing will render ignosci-
BILE your conduct to me. warn you that L
would vellicate your nose, If | thought that
any moral diathrosis could be thereby perform
ed-If 1 thought that / should not impignor-
ate my reputation by such q digtadiation. Col
photographic scroyle, band with your Grass,
inquinate fautors-draw oblectations from the
thought, if you can, of having synachronically
lost the existimation of the greatest poet since
Milton, and drawn upon your head this letter,
which will drive you to Walker, and send you
to sleep over it. knowledge is power, and
power is mercy-so wish you no worse than
1T may prove an eternal hypnotic"

The Terrible Child.

1t was in the cars. The ladies we're sitting
together, busily engaged in conversation. On
the seat facing them sat little year old boy
He had been looking out of the window, ap-
parently absorbed in the moving panorama OF
the outside world. Suddenly he turned from
the window; he began searching about the car.
exclaiming in a high piped voice:
Mamma, what makes that man look so fun
nyq"
"Shl' cautioned the mother but the BOY was
not to be hushed.
''I don't see the man with the bald head and
funny red nose"
The ssh" was repeated. BY this time the
car was in a litter. save and excepting one ell
derly gentleman with very bald head and
red nose His eyes we're riveted upon his pa
per with a fixedness that was quite frightful.
Again the boy:
HOhl now see himl Ho What bright
nose! What makes it so red, mammal"
"Georgiel" shouted his mother in stage
whisper. But George was not to be stopped.
Mamma" he continued. "What made you
say he had lighthouse on his face? l don't
see any lighthouse"
Again, "Georgie," and this time with a
light shake.
Once more the piping voice, the bald-headed
passenger glaring at his paper more fercely
than ever, and growing redder every mo-
ment:
mamma" don't think his head looks like
State House dome. It's shiny like it, but it
isn't so yaller."
While the litter went round again, Georges
mother whispered to the boy, and gave her
hopeful box on the ear, which seemed to
partly divert his attention from the bald-head-
ed passenger, but not entirely. He cried once
through his tears:
"You said his nose was as red as beet,
mamma: / didn't say nothing.
Strange to say, the bald-headed passenger
didn't take part in the suppressed laughter
that followed, but he put on his hat and hid
his nose in the paper, over which he glared at
the boy as if he wanted to eat him. And yet,
where was the boy to blame?

The Original Crank.
London Notes and Queries,l


In the tragico-ludicrous trial across the wa
ter we are made acquainted with-are, in fact,
not suffered to forget-the CraDke. Such is
the exact name of curious specimen of spuri-
GUS humanity. Will you allow me to introduce
to my cousins in America the origin of the
cranke, who was, in truth, one OF the rogues
and vagabonds of Shakespeare's time. (Viles
and Furnivall's reprint, N. S. s., 1SS0)? Cranke
is the character name of one who fegns the
falling sickness, and in the case before me is
Harman, the counterfeit cranke of 1867. His
adventures are related as follows: Finding, so
to speak, the game becoming very hot, ''he
toke skoller" and was pulled over the water
to st. Georges Fields. Overtaken and ques-
toned, he damned himself over and over
again If he had any more money about him;
but, as it happened, he had plenty and had to
produce it. He lived, he said, lin Master
Hiles, his rents having pretty house well

The CITY Nomiua uations.

To the list of nomin ations for city officers
made by the Republicans the attention of vo-
ters is called, and they are invited to scruti-
nize it. The caucuses discharged their duty
well, and there ought to be no doubt of the
peoples approval of their choice. The men
named for Aldermen, Councilmen and other
city officers fully deserve the confidence and
support Of their fellow citizens, and will, if
elected, administer municipal affairs with
wise economy, judicious liberality, and a
proper regaid for the varied interests of the
city. The list is excellent, and the names
upon it are of those who have earned the
confidence of the people and who can be re-
lied upon to faithfully discharge the impor-
tant trusts delegated to our city officers. 1t
may be said without injust.ce.to the candi-
dates brought forward by the opposition,
that the Republican ticket, taken as whole,
or name by name, is the best. 1t does not
come high, and we must have it. Its only
cost is the expenditure of few minutes in
going to the polls and voting.
