SLANG EPIDEMIC.
Reprehensible Practice, Especial

Slang Is breaking down socia
conventionalities by Its free and in
discriminate use. 1t is lesSening
maidenly dignity which should al
ways be entrenched behind soft and
gentle speech. Ii is deteriorating
the standard that we once held fOl
our young men, and is %unquestion
ably IA vice, making its inroads as
msidlously as drinking and gam
bling. Our children are allowed to
interlard their conversation with
the catch-wOrds of low comedies,
without circumstances, which
must in the end produce its effect
upon character and conduct.
Slang is a reflection upon the pro
gress of our civilization, and if not
%repressed will soon become IA pre-.
vailing feature of our popular liter
ature. Our schools should be the
refOrmatories for its cure. The
principles of correct speaking are
simple enough to be conveyed in-
diligently to the youngest children,
and it should be impressed upon
them that the use of pure diction is
one OF the stepping. stones toward
building up a pure character.

Everybody knows, or is suppos.

but few know when he died. This
fact, stated in curious way, l came
upon in my reading the other day,
and publicity may be of service in
aiding the memory OF small Ohll-

larger growth. Washington drew
his last breath in the last hour of
the last day OF the last week of the
last month of the last year of the
last century. He died on Satur.

The Liberty Postmaster.
Portland Press.)

Some years ago a man by tho name of knowl-
ton was postmaster at Liberty, town in Waldo
county in this State. Though an honest man,
he was exceedingly careless in the management
Of the office. ltumors Of his negligence coming
to the Of the POSTMASTER Department, Spe-
cial Agent Carr sent to investigate. Mr..
Carr satisfied himself and the department that
the rumors were true by walking into the post
Office one day when the postmaster was out and
carrying off all the mail Mr.. Knowton was
given his choice between resignation and remov
al,and chose the former. lie afterwards became
a Greenbacker and subsequently Democrat
The other day, on the recommendation of the
Hon. Simon S. Brown, chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Committee, who was fully aware Of
all the facts of the case, Mr.. Knowlton was ap
pointed postmaster in the very same Office from
which he was turned out on account Of his neg
ligence. 1t looks as if Mr.. Brown might have
another bone to pick with Assistant Postmaster
General Stevenson.

A New Rule Of Criminal Court.

The Supreme Court Judges have just
been considering the improperly Of the
usual mode of precedence in liquors
cases where the parties are anxious to
plead guilty, pay their fine and get out of
court with as little publicity as possible.
To this end they have been in the
habit of getting the attention of the Clerk
and County attorney when court was not
In session, when they would pay their
fines and depart. Judge Foster now gives
notice that all criminal cases must be dis
posed of In open court and when the JUS
tice presiding is in attendance.

Business Outlook.

The business outlook continues steadily favor
able, tho determination seeming to be on the
part Of the merchants and manufacturers TO
hold fast to the gains already made, and advance
as fast as circumstances may permit The rate
Of interest for money holds up, and securities
generally maintain their price, although there is
no noticeable activity in the stock market, and
money is not in yisibly increased demand.
Nevertheless, it is plain to that loans in
creasing at the money centres, ann this means
nothing but better demand for money. In New
York the local bank clearings arc larger by six
teen per cent than they were for the same week
dast year, and as this is not due to speculation,
which is light, it can be credited only to an i'm
proyemcnt in legitimate business.
