Speaking English.



FFhe fact is, said DIR. Weston, chat.
ting with the Jester, few days ago,
THAT we speak better English and more
of it in America than they do in Eng
land. In America, wherever you go,
from Maine to Texas and California,
wherever You find an American you can
converse with him readily, without the
least difficulty in understanding him.
He may use slang freely, often too freely;
he may speak with an utter disregard of
grammatical construction, but you
know what he says and what he means,
and q graduate of Harvard and n
miner in the mountains can carry on a
conversation without difficulty. The
miner may have some difficulty at times
in understanding some of the collegian's
sentences, but the graduate has no such
trouble, and he can talk down to his
comrades comprehension, if he will.
But in England, an Englishman may go
into certain localities, where he neither
understands the English spoken by Eng
lishmsn, native born like himself; nor
can he make himself understood by them.
We have nothing in America to cores
pond with certain unintelligible dialects
spoken in England by Euglishmen. So
l say that, as nation, the Americans
speak better English than do the Eng.
lish people"

The Roman Catholic Bishop of Para
and Amazonas, whose diocese includes
the valley of the Amazon, has a plan
for evangelizlng the wild tribes along
that mighty river. He proposes to con.
struct large ship. 1t will be superbly
decorated, and so contrived as to serve
as church. The most precious woods
with which the Amazon region abounds
will wainscot the interior. This floating
cathedral will possess its pulpit and con-
fessional, its organ and baptismal font,
and ali the church furniture requisite
for splendid exercise of Catholic rites.
The Bishop hopes to make it, by reason
Of its elegance and splendor, IAN object
OF just pride and glory to the Amazonas
and of edifcation to tho whole Christian
world Propelled by steam and draw
ing but little water, it will carry the
jealous missionaries along the natural
highway to the most distant parts Of
the country, as far as Bolivia and Peru,
Ecuador and Colombia and Venezuela,
and even to the most distant European
colonies Of Guiana.

TnE catastrophe at Ischia was caused
by subsistence Of the earth, due un-
doubtedly to an earthquake. But
whether the earthquake was Of recent
occurrence or not It is impossible to
know. Just rs the sound Of the voice
will precipitate the fall Of an Alpine av-
alanche, so II may be due to some
slight accident that the superimposed
weight at Ischia broke through the thin
crust Of the earth. A sinking Of the
earth may be brought about by human
agency. OF late, the caying in Of coal
mines in Luerne county, Pennsylvania,
has been quite frequent and outlying
housesof the town Of Pittston are threat
ened with destruction. A recent sub
sidcnce OF the surface OF the earth, II Is

WE are happy to note that the story
of an intentional insult offered to the
United States by the German Minister al
Mexico is very generally disbelieved by
the press. Our relations with Ger.
many are of the most friendly character,
and 1t is not at all probable that they
will ever be otherwise. The Honorable
Philip Hickey Morgan, United States
Minister at Mexico, is person in no
way fitted to occupy that position. He
cannot speak word of the language of
the country TO which he is accredited
though to be sure, this drawback is not
uncommon in the case of persons APP.
pointed during the past few years to the
diplomatic and consular service of the
United States. In addition, Mr.. Nor
gan unfortunately, almost Immediately on
his arrival in Mexico, succeeded in max
ing himself disliked by very many Of
those with whom he came in contact.
He very unwisely adopted the custom OF
disparaging the Mexicans in the pres.
ence of persons who did not hesitate to
speak of his doing so. Then he was
astonished that socially he was made
very little of. 1t will be found probable,
if there be any foundation in the tele-
gram, that, in this matter, Mr.. Morgan
had exercised his peculiar faculty of
making mountains out of mole hills.

Are We Deteriorating ?

There is a good deal of harmless pratt
tie about the superior health, the
strength and the wisdom of our great
grandfathsrs and great-grandmothers.
1t is common thing to hear old people
who ought to have better sense, talking
about the good old times and the higher
mental and physical ability of those who
lived long ago. While we have great
respect for the old folks, living and
dead, we must not shut our eyes to the
reality. The truth is that people live
longer now than ever they did. The
medical profession knows more now
than ever it did, and we could put into
the field to-day bigger army of eente-
narians than our grandfathers could in
the good old days when they were
young. Moreover, old people now
are much more vigorous than the.
old people of times past. Our
people are growing much larger
and stronger. 1t is not so very
many years since the American womea
was slight, delicate creature; now she
is tall and portly. The numbers of sin
gularly tall and well-proportioned young
men and women to be seen in the streets
of New York to-day astonish the old
fellows who remember the boys and
girls of forty or fifty years ago. Some
persons imagine that this increase in
size is confined to children OF our for
eign.born citizens; but this is great
mistake, for the increase in growth is
general Certainly the mixture of races
may have something to do with il, but,
whatever be the cause, it is fact plainly
to be seen by any observer.
The greatest known feats of physical
strength and endurance are recorded to
the credit of the young men of this age;
and, indeed, it's hardly too much to as
sert that the greatest runners, the great
est walkers, the greatest Jumpers, the
greatest swimmers, the greatest oars
men, the greatest weight-lifters, the
greatest boxers, the greatest fencers and
the heaviest men that ever lived are
among the living of, to-day. There
seems to be universal increase in the
growth OF humanity. The height. the
chest measurement and the weight of
the soldiers of the immense armies of
Europe of the present time are at least
az great as they were among the picked
mon of the much smaller European
armies of fifty years past, clearly show
ing that the average man of to-day is as
big and as strong as the picked man of
long ago. The fact stares us in the face
that the grown-up sons and daughters
of the old people of this country are, us
rule, bigger and stronger than their
fathers were. An 'ordinary-sized Eog-
glishman finds considerable difficulty in
squeezing himself into the armor Of one
of the Norman conquerors of his coun-
try, but what could one of our Western
farmers do with it, Certainly he could
pick it up and look at it, but that is all.
We have great respect for the memory
of our grandfathers and great-grand-
fathers, as well as for our grandmothers
and great-grandmothers, but we cannot
afford to delude ourselves with ideas
and notions that facts and figures set
aside. People are inclined to oyeres-
innate the measure of wisdom and abil.
ity of the grand old fellows of days
gone by. 1t is nm amiable fault, but
still fault; because the truth is not 30

generations ruled France will die in a

The high license law of Illinois gave
rise to new kind of speculation which
did not put money in the purses of the
spectators. Many sagacious persons in
Chicago had taken out licenses, before
the new law went into operation, at the
old rate of one hundred and three dol
lars with the intention of disposing OF
them at an advance when the price OF
a license should become five hundred
dollars. But the corporation counsel of
Chicago holds that licenses are not
transferable. Now the opinion OF the
city's attorney is not final decision,
and, though it were, it would seem to
be only just that money paid by the
same individual for greater number of
licenses than one should be returned to
him.

WHAT may be termed an episode OF

Dorsey attributes the enmity displayed
by the New York Times toward him to
his not having bought for campaign pur-
poses as many copies of that paper as of
the New York Tribune. Hereupon the
leading Republican journal of the coun-
try asserts that Dorsey is liar as well
as thief. Now comes the Commercial
Advertiser, of New York, shining light

Wind river nearly to its source, and
thence commenced the ascent OF Robert

shortest and easiest of the routes be-
tween the valley of Wind river and the
valley of the Snake river. The party
reached camp at IL o'clock, having trav.
sled about seventeen miles. The camn
is named Robert Lincoln and is situated
on the crest of the backbone on the
Rival Mountains, all of 5000 feet above
the levelof the sea. Within a hundred
yards Of the camp are streams which
flow respectively into the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans. The President spent
