The Growth of the English Language

The 'sEnglish Dictionary on Histor-
ical Principles" undertaken over a
quarter of century ago, has just
reached the point of the appearance of
part /, which carries it only to the ter
minatlon of the suffix ant. There are
352 pages in the volume, and it en-
braces 1866 separate words. The cor
responding portion of Webster covers
only fifty-slx pages, and comprises only
$3.50 words. 1t will be seen at glance
how rapidly we have been gaining in
this respect-for while many of the
words enumerated are such as Webster
might have secured but did not, they
are in much larger measure new lnven-
tons or new adaptations. Assuming
that the other letters of the alphabet
will maintain this ratio, the words con-
tanned in this new dictionary will reach
the bewildering number of about $780,
900, or fully one-third more than we
have been accustomed to regard as the
limit. And it is by no means certain
that this book contains all the words
that are fairly entitled to place in
such work.

ADeath. Dealing Explosion at Dubuque.

A terrible explosion occurred at Du-
buque on the oath. Two of the three boil
erstin the sash andHdoor factory Of Carr,
Rider g. Wheeler exploded withYterrible
force. The boiler house was completely
DESTROYED and the boilers thrown sideways
in rs many different directions. The one
that did not burst was thrown intact al: dis
lance of thirty feet against the mill. A
solid division wall separated the boiler
house fromithe MILL, else the destruction
and loss of life would have been ter
rible. The mill employs 200 men. The
corner of a dwelling near the boiler
house was torn completely out and several
women injured. The engineer and two
firemen were in the boiler house at the time
and were buried beneath the debris. Two
children playing next to it were also buried.
The following are the killed:
Milo NJ. Mellen, engineer, aged 80. He
leaves wife. Fritz Villinger, fireman,
single, and the two children Of Charles May +,
aged and 8. Michael Mclaughlin, second
fireman, was horribly burned and mangled.
He cannot live but few hours. Mrs. Mar
garet Walter was struck by flying bricks
and badly cut. Her daughter in-law, Mrs.
Albert Walter, and her three children were
also injured. Mrs. Lear and Mrs. Vogler,
in the same dwelling, were also hurt.

LAND GRANT FORFEITURES.
Favorable Report Ordered on Bills For
feiting Certain Grants.

The senate committee on public lands
decided to report the bills FORGETTING the
land grants opposite the uncompleted por-
lions of the Northern Pacific and branch
lines, and the Atlantic and Pacific railroads.
Mr.. Plumb, chairman of the committee,
says it is impossible to calculate the number
of acres involved, as in both cases some
land was taken up before the charters were
granted, and in the case of the Atlantic
and Pacific road it was not con-
structed in the direct route con-
templated. Nominally the senator
thinks the forfeiture Of the Northern Pa
cific will amount to Is, 900, 1000 acres. Sena-
tor Slater, who is author of the bill provid-
ing for the forfeiture of the land grant of
the Northern Pacific railroad, says that the
actual number of acres forfeited along that
line will be about 1000, 900, which is 8, 900,
600 acres less than proposed by the house
committee on public lands. Slater's bill
further provides that the lien lands hereto
fore selected, if occupied by bona fide set
tiers, shall be sold at $1.25 per acre for 160
acres.

GRAINS OF WISDOM.

Music opens to men an undiscovered
realm, a world which has nothing in
common with the outer world Of sense.
mozart.
IT'S an Ill thing to be ashamed of
ones poverty, but much worse not to
make use of lawful endeavors to avoid
it, Thucydides.
Do not press your young children
into book learning, but teach them po-
likeness, including the whole circle OF
charities which spring from the con-
seriousness of what is due to their fellow
beings.-(Spurzheim.
He who thinks his place below him
will certainly be below his place.
-[Saville.
A modest person seldom fails to gain
the good will of those he converses
with, because nobody envies man
who does not appear to be pleased with
himself Steele.
There is nothing so elastic as the
human mind. Like imprisoned steam
the more it Is pressed the more it rises
to resist the pressure. The more we
are obliged to do the more we are able
to accomplish.-[T. Edwards.
Though we seem grieved at the
shortness of life in general, we are
wishing every period of it at an end.
The minor longs to be of age, then to
be business man, then to make up an
estate, then to arrive at honors, then
to retire. Addison.
Learning is wealth to the poor, an
honor to the rich, an aid to the young,
and a support and comfort to the aged.
II Lavater.
At the workingman's house hunger
looks in, but dares not enter; nor will
the bailiff or the constable enter. For
industry pays debts, as despair increas-
eth them Franklin.
In our pursuit of the things in this
world we usually prevent enjoyment by
expectation; we anticipate our own
happiness and eat out the heart and
sweetness of worldly pleasures by de-
lightful forethoughts of them, SO that
when we do come to possess them they
do not answer the expectation, nor sat-
isfy the desires which were raised about
them, and they vanish into nothing

The Sixteen.Year Old Boy.

"There is no question of which he
has not confident and all-disposing
judgment. Why, if we were all six
teen, there would be no need of con-
gress or supreme bench. We should
each know it all. In religion his
opinions are equally decisive. But do
not understand me, my friends, that
of making fun of the boy at this or any
other period of his life, mean to dep
recate or discourage his aspirations.
Far from it. would not give penny

Power to Lev y on Bonded Whisky.

The question of the power of the
sheriff to levy upon whisky in bond was de-
cided at Pittsburg by the United States
court. Rule was granted in the common
pleas court against FrankP. Case, collector
of internal revenue, to show cause why he
should not be held for contempt for refus-
ing to allow Allan, sheriff of the county, to
levy upon whisky in bonded warehouse.
Judge Acheson, with concurrence of JUS
tice Bradley, of the United States supreme
court, before whom the rule had been GER
toraried, discharged the case, at the cost of
the sheriff, sustaining the collector in his
