Congressman JeFOrds.

The excellent gentleman and Conser-
vatiye Republican. Mr.. Jeffords, NJ. c.
elect Of Mississippi, has been exerting
himself many days to have the citizens
OF his State conceded few places in the
departments and Federal offices in Mis-
sippi. The good people who hold places
here, claiming to be Mississippians, are
commonly Ohio or New York supernu-
meraries. They secured places in Mis-
sissippi during the carpet bag era.
When Hayes inaugurated local freedom
these adventures fed. They swarmed
into Washington, and being the only
"Mississippians," asking for sinecures,
were injected as such into divers soft
places. Mr.. Jeffords finds that these
fellows are not Mississippians, except as
claimants for these sinecures, and he has
been assiduous in his attentions to Mr.
Arthur, and Mr.. Arthur being a right
minded sort of a man and honest SWIVEL
service reformer and having a native
sense Of fairness tells the distinguished
Mississippian that he will ''look into the
matter" But he will not. He will not
have looked beyond his nose till he has
discovered half AZ dozen New Workers
enacting the roll Of Mississippians~ and
Mr.. Arthur viii stop just there He
will never send a New Yorker into exile

ORIGIN OF POPULAR PHRASES,
Written for the Globe Democrat

-
CURRY FAVOR. TO curry ahorse was
to rub him down, comb him, and dress
him. Favet was general name for a
chestnut horse derived from the French
fnudeu, the color of fallow land or chest
nut. The phrase was originally ito cur
nv Favel," but it has been corrupted.
The saying no doubt originated in the
case of favorite horse Favel, to curry
whom well was sure passport to the
favor of his master
DOUBLE ENTENDRE.-AF French phrase
often used in designating that which has
double meaning; play on words, in
which the word or phrase is susceptible
of more than one meaning. The phrase

the Philadelphia and Reading

tension to this city, have been surveyed
and proiiles of them submitted to those
property owners who will he affected
by them. The Gas Trustees referred
the subject to the Committee on Works,
with instructions to meet the Railroad
officials. The Knickerbocker Ice Com.
pany com plains that the line is directly
through its yards and will greatly in
tertere with the business of the Com
pany. Other property owners along
the line of the road also have their
grievances, but refuse for the present to
make any detailed statement OF them.
1t is stated that the Reading Railroad
Company could have procured, for the
purpose Of a connection with the Balti-
more and Ohio Line, the franchise OF
the Schsylkill River Passenger Railway
Company, which admit of the running
of steam cars on Twenty bird street,

What China Wants.

LONDON, September l3.-The Marquis
Tseng, TIE Chinese ambassador, in al
interview at Folkestone on his return
from Paris, said that China was deter.
mined to concede nothing concerning
the suzerainty over AMMAN. She did
not wish France 10 possess territory al
joining the Chinese frontier. A dis
patch of French achievements to Ton
uuin would be unfortunate, as it would
compel China boldly to send troops to
tho adjacent province. The military
party was daily gaining ground at P,.
kin. The occurrences hitherto were al
tributable to the excessive zeal OF
French officials. Any ill-considered
measures on the part Of the French
might be attended with fatal results.
The Marquis said that nothing definite
had result ted from his journey 10 Paris.
