Origin OF Familiar Sayings

If other persons share the curiosity |
Ihave had as to the origin of many |
familiar old sayings, they may like
to have here the explanation of some
such, which I found recently in an
English book. Tho majority of these
provcrbial sayings are, suppose, of
old date, and come down to us from
our English or Dutch forefathers.
Here is the origin of the expression
"tick," for credit, which have al
ways taken to be quite modern slang.
1t seems, on the contrary, that it is
as old as the nth century, and is cor
ruptcd from ticket, as BRIDESMAIDS
bill was then commonly called. On
tick was on ticket.
"lIumblc pie" refers to the days
when the English forests were stock
ed with deer, and vcnson pastry was
commonly seen on the tables of the
wealthy. The inferior and refuse
portions of the deer, termed the sum
bles,' were generally appropriated to
the poor, who made them into pie;
hence tumble pie" became suggestive
of poverty, and afterward was appli-
cd to dcgradations of other kinds.
"a wild goose chase was sort of
racing, resembling the flying of wild
geese, in which, after one horse had
gotten the lead, the other was
Obliged to follow after. AS the Sec
ond horse generally exhausted him
self in vain efforts to Overtakc the
first, this mode of racing was finally
discontinued.
The expression "a feather in his
cap did not signify merely the right
to decorate ones self with some to-
ken of success, but referred TO an AN
cient custom among the people of
Hungary, of which mention is made
in the Lansdowne manuscripts i'll the
British museum. None but he who
had killed a Turk was permitted to
adorn himself in this fashion, or to
"shew the number of his slaine enc
mys by the number of fethers in his
cappc." 1t occurs to me to question
whether the similar phrase, to "plume
himself has not its source in the
same tradition.
4 bakers dom was originally
the devils dozen, ID being the mum
Der of witches supposed to sit down
together at their great meetings OF
sabbaths; hence Che superstition
about sitting ID at table,, The baker
was an unpopular character and b
came substitute for the devil.
The explanation OF the proyerbia
saving about "lIobson'S choice i
given Ly Steele in the Spectator, No

SOMEBODY names in the presence of a
rerocious duelist the name OF one OF his

days I'll have to go and pull his ears. "
"Whnt forP" "What forp l don't

Mr.. Munday is bachelor. He is
also member of the Kentucky Leg
islature. He says he is in favor Of
charging the sphere of woman and
giving her all the Offices she can prop

amount to much when coupled with
the fact that Mr.. Munday has failed
to discharge the highest duty to

HOW THEY WERE LOST.

About year ago negro team
ster sat on a the head of whisky
barrel and carried off the government
stamp on the bosom Of his pantaloons.
A short time afterwards a lusty billy
goat, desiring TO digest the subject Of
internal revenue,ate the stamp off an
other barrel. The other day swine.
which had evidently grown angry
over the export duty on American
pork, scratched himself on barrel
to ease his pain and carried off anoth-
er on his ham, and had to be shaved
to recover the stamp. The voucher
to revenue the department for the first
was endorsed, "Lost in the drawers
of the Freedman's Bureau !" the sec
ond, "Devoured by billy goat" ano
but for the shaving process we sup
pose the last would have been, clos
by porker." -Owensboro Messenger

The Rebel Ram Arkansas.

To THE EDITOR: In your issue of Nov. l3
one Henry ]. LYDIA attempts to correct Garlic
ton" in his statement that the rebel ram
Arkansas was destroyed On Aug. 6, 1862, being
the day after the battle of Baton Rouge Mr.
LYDIA says he was a seaman on the Essex at the
time. Twas where l could see the whole fight,
standing on the east bank of the river about
two miles above Baton Rouge, and nearly op-
poste the Essex at the time she fired the first
gun at the ram. LYDIA is mistaken in saying
that the fight was on the 9Th of August, and
Carleton" is right in stating that it was on
the 9th of August, 1862. LYDIA is again in error
in saying that the Essex was alone in the fight
for She was ably assisted by the Kineo, sloop of
war, or more generally known as the "No. g."
which was the only vessel present except the
Essex. l do not know who received the prize
money, but think il was divided between the
crews of both vcssels.-L. B. BENNETT, Co. 1,

glance over their books They have their sys-
TEN so complete that our last statement con-
tanning the accounts of eight different adver-
tisers and covering different dates, which was
sent to New York from this Office on Monday,
