The American Language.

IJuly Atlantic.l
In ''The Point of View" Mr. James's
Miss Sturdy, among the many shrewd and
just observations she makes, says one thing,
not original with her, which indeed we have
heard till we are quite familiar with the re-
mark, but which sounds strangely coming
from so sensible person as this lady. She
says that one of the dangers attending the
American mode of life is that we shall
''cease to speak the English language: Amer
lean is crowding it out" SO intelligent a
woman as Miss Sturdy ought to know better
than to repeat this accusation, meaningless
in its vagueness, and therefore eluding a
fair encounter and rebuttal. Mr.. Antrobus,
from his point of view, remarks much to the
same effect when he says that, considering
the number of people who are being educat-
ed in the country, 'the tone of the people is
less scholarly than one would expect A
lady, a few days since, described to me her
daughter as being always on the co. which
/ take to be a jocular way of saying that the
young lady was very fond of paying visits
Another person, the wife of United States
Senator, informed me that If / should 20 to
Washington in January should be quite 'in
the swim inquired the meaning of the
phrase" Now that Mr.. Antrobus should
require to have the meaning of new slang
phrase explained to him is not strange, be
ing quite in character with the slowness
and dullness of his intellect; but that he or
any other Englshman should be surprised or
shocked at a free use Of slang does strike me
as something extraordinary. He himself
and the "wfe of United States SENATOR
are fictitious persons; but we are ready to
grant to Mr.. James the possibility of an ac-
tual person occupying such position in
dulgiDg herself in the use of slang phrase.
We would not maintain that our Senators
and their wives are invariably to be found
persons of culture and breeding, and that
only persons of culture, breeding, and the
best taste habitually refrain from such ex-
pressions. The fact is that many people
who know perfectly well what Is good Eng.
fish, and what is not, do nevertheless, from
carelessness or incidence, allow themselves
the use of words and phrases which their
own good taste condemns. But these per-
sons would be the last to defend their own
practice. Others, of less fastidious feeling
about the matter, use slang, knowing it to
be such, but not careful whether that or the
proper English expression comes first TO
hand. If this habit, however, is all that is
meant by the invention of an american"
language, the ridicule is quite misplaced,
coming from an Englishman, or any one
adopting the English point of view. No per-
sons employ slang more freely in common
conversation than the English

The Great Bridge.

The bridge proposed for the East River in
1911 by Mr.. Thomas Pope, to connect New
York and Brooklyn. is to be shown In the
July st. Nicholas in connection with fully
illustrated description of the present bridge
by Mr.. Charles Barnard. Mr.. Pope pub
lished book (now very rare) in advocacy OF
his plan, and the ST. Nicholas illustration is
reprint of the engraving which formed the
frontispiece of that volume. 1t will be ac-
companied by some "reminiscences of Mr.
Pope, contributed by General Thomas S.
Cummings. one of New York's oldest citi,
zens, who tells among other interesting items
this anecdote:
1t is said that Mr.. Pope, in company with
Robert Fulton, the inventor of the steam
boat, and number of other distinguished
New Workers, on certain day made a trip
around the city in one of the new steam
boats. The afternoon was showery, and
Just as the boat rounded Castle Garden the
rain ceased, and there was seen a rainbow
spanning the East River. "See therep says
Fulton, tapping Pope ON the shoulder,
s'there's your bridge, Pope. Reaven favors
you with a good omen"
Gen. Cummings states that Mr.. Pope pre-.
pared large model of his bridge, which was
set up sin the green fields just above Canal
street, and he says that one account as
cribes the destruction of this model to a
stroke of lightning, and moreover that this
disaster is said to have befallen it on the
very afternoon when it was to have been
publicly tested in the presence of Governor
De Witt Clinton and other distinguished
gentlemen.

A Precious Shawl.

Bay City Mich Tribune A touching
incident is related of Prof. Cocker, of Mich
igan university. Shortly before bis death he
called the attention of his pastor to worn
and faded shawl spread on his bed, and re-
quested to have it wrapped around his body
and buried with him. He had made it
himself when young man in England; had
worn it in all his journeyings to and from
over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans; when
residing in Australia; when he escaped from
the Feejee Islanders as they were preparing
to kill and roast him, and when he was
shipwrecked. 1t accompanied him when he
landed in the United States, and even clad
the remains of his dead child when, penni-
less and disheartened, he first arrived in
Adrian. No wonder he desired it should en-
shroud his inanimate body AID accompany
bin into the quiet grave. His wish was
gratitied.

THE matter of decorative illumination b V
professions and SO forth having been dis
cussed in its columns, war veteran relates
to the New York Sun the narrative of pic
turesque demonstration of that kind which
he witnessed during the war. In the spring
of 1865. says the veteran, candle rations were
issued to the army of the Potomac. The
men had no use for them, and they accumu-
lated. One night single company, each
man carrying a lighted candle, started in
procession through the camp. Regiments,
battalions and brigades caught the infection,
and $4,000 candles glimmered and danced in
every direction, winding like fiery serpent
over the hillocks, and stretching out in a sea
of flaming dots as far as the eye could reach,
with beautiful effect that even the electric
lighting of the Brooklyn Bridge can never
equal. There were afterwards many of these
candle parades, and one night when the
woods for miles were Illuminated by candles
stuck upon trees and shrubbery, word came
that Lincoln had been assassinated. The re-
port was generally discredited, but soon the
startling report was confirmed, and every
lighted candle was extinguished and the
woods were again black with the intense
darkness of cloudy night.
