Slang.


OF late years, especially since the
abolition of what were called the taxes
on knowledge, viz, the excise duty on
paper and the newspaper stamp, and
the consequent establishment of the
penny press, many new words have
been introduced by the rapid and care
less, and also by the semi-educated
penman who cater for the daily and
weekly press. A number of old En-
glish words-currenti in the United States
have been reintroduced into English
with the gloss of apparent novelty, but
also with the unmistakable stamp of
Vulgarity broadly impressed upon them.
And not alone in the press, but in So
ciety. Men of education, some of them
moving in high or the highest circles,
have condeseended to. repeat in their
daily or customary conversation the
language of costermongers and of
grooms and jockeys, and to use it as if
it were good English. The basest slang
of the streets is but too frequently heard
among educated people, who ought to
know better than to use it, and has in
yaded the forum and the Senate-if If
have not yet penetrated into the pulpit.
"Bloke,' ''duffer,n and lead are
words familiar to aristocratic lips.
who is that awfully fine filly?" saws
Fitz Noodle to his companion at an
evening party; ''she's dreadfully nicely
groomedr' AS If the fine girl had Just
been trotted out of the stable, after
careful currycombing or rubbing down.
Even ladies-but fortunately not gen
tlewomen-have caught the contagion
of vulgarity from their husbands, lovers,
or brothers, and defled their fair lips
with what is called fast language, and
with words which, if they only knew
their meaning and origin, they might
blush to pronounce-if blushing were
still in fashion. - Gentleman s Maaaztne.

She Raised Them All.

A past city official was entertaining
number of members of the city gov
eminent at his residence. The day was
Saturday. Supper had been partaken
OF, and at its conclusion ga little game
OF draw" was proposed, and before
many minutes the entire party were
deeply engaged in the mysterious and
fluctuating fortunes of "poker'' as laid
down in General Schenck's rules for
the government of that allurinr but
tickle game. The time flew rapidly
and merrily, the blind goddess favoring
now one and now another. At length
1t was noticed that the hands of the
clock passed the hour of midnight and
the players were encroaching on the
first hours of the Sabbath. But what
cared they for that! There were large
sums of money on the table. and the
pot was one of formidable pro-
portions. '1'll raise you five dol
lars, exclaimed one of the plav-
ers. an see that and raise YOU
ten, shouted another in his ex-
element. s.I'll raise the whole of
you out of this, was the cry of a new
conner, as female was seen enveloped
in her night clothes and with horse
whip in her hand. There was an inn
mediate break made for the door, and
some even found exit by the window,
abandoning the pot and whatever
money there was on the table; and It's
said that some of those CITY officials
are running from that little game up to
the present time. The lady of the
house admonished her iege lord. not
over gently, it is to be presumed, on
his desecration of the Sabbath, quietly
swept up the money and betook herself
once more to bed There is good rea-
son to believe that the money was
finally disposed of in charity.-Boston

whole character is to be erected, for
otherwise, no matter how beautiful the

how good material they may be built,

will be but sham which offers no sure
refuge and protection to those who seek
it, for it viii tumble down when trial
comes. Alas, my boy, the world is very
full of such shams of manhood in every
profession and occupation. There are

"A western farmer who tried wheat
bran as a manure for wheat, reports
that the effect of an application of one
ton of bran to the acre was equal to
that obtained from the usual applica-
ton of mixture of bone dust, guano,

bran as compared with those not so
treated was very great. Boston Tran

Jersey Justice.

Speaking of Jersey JUSTICE Rah-
way lawyer declares that New JERSEY
deserves all the high praise she gets
for prompt, answering and merciless
justice to law-breakers. Criminals are
in that State condemned and punished
without difficulty or delay. This is all
the more remarkable, he thinks, when
it is considered that at the ends of New
Jersey lie the two largest cities of the
new world-New York and Philadel-
phia. However, it is to this very fact
that Jersey justice owes its origin.
For half a century," he explains.
Philadelphia and New York have sent
marauders into New Jersey. Either as
registering excursionists, lazy tra1nps.
or professional thieves, they come
ready for mischief When caught thew
