The MisuSed Ii of England
BY RICHARD A. PROCTOR.

There seems no room for doubling that
the disease had its origin in London.
W alker speaks of it as specially prevalent
in London in his day, and even now il is
more common in the pure cockney dialect
(the most hateful form of the English Ian
guage in existance) than anywhere in Eng
land. Moreover, its pr valence in other
places than London Is greater or less sc-
cording as snch places are nearer to or far
Their from the metropolis We find no
trace of ii in Cornwall or Wales; very lit
tie in Cumberland, Northumberland, and
Yorkshire. In the middle countries it is
less common than in the southern. 1t is
at its maximum in the heart of London.
In this respect it is like the and-tc NAL
ady, which, even when at its height Git has
now nearly died out), was never SO badly
felt in the provinces as in the metropolis
though of course, like all metropolitan de-
fects, it spread in greater or less degree
over the whole country.
This being the case, we are justified in
assuming that the disease had al first that
form which is characteristic of the faults
of language found at great centres of pop
ulation, especially in the chief city of the
nation. If you wish to hear French clip
ped and slurred you should go to Paris, and
German suffers like treatment in Vienna
and Berlin. In great and busy city, men
shorten their words and sentences as much
as possible, being assured that what they
say will be understood, because all speak
the same language and adopt the sane con
vepient authorizations. Thus, just as in
Paris cette femme becomes cite rme and
Volta &C que C est becomes Via c q c est,
so in Lond on City Bank becomes c. ~

penny, and then to hdpany or apply ON.

1t addresses the conductor as dv,tor; the
conductor shortens the cry of all right into
'ry, announces the threepenny fare as Mri-
pms, and so forth. In TACT, 1t may be laid
down as general proposition that, al
though language becomes modified in pro-
vincial places and in colonies, 1t is only in
busy cities, and chiefly in capital cities,
that language is modified by clipping and
slurring. May Atlantic.

Gath" in letter gu the liquor question
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, writes;
This cheap anu enliyening driak has
probably done more TO change the morals
Of the American people than anything, ex-

OF Baltimore, very conservative and
Democratic city, told ME some ten years
ago that he regarded lager beer as having
done more harm 10 the boys OF the United
States than ANYTHING he had ever heard Of
Said he: Boys were never seen in drink
ing places as long whskey was the
standard. But after lagei-beer was intro
duced, the boys would go to the saloons,
where games were prepared for them, such
as bagatelle and pool, and in a little while

Elected in a Few Days.

A Republican Police Commissioner will be
elected by the State officers on the 1st of Jan
uary, when the term of Commissioner Morrison
expires. Several persons have been suggested
for the position, but, so far as known, no active
effort is being made by anyone to secure
it. Mr.. Morrison, it is generally
understood, will not seek re-

more definite to say about the matter than that
the successor of Mr.. Morrison will not be any
man who is known to be a candidate for the

they will be disposed to select some person who
is believed to be more in harmony with Colonel

A SUFFERER FROM LITIGATION.
A Californian Suing a New Castle Citizen for
$4,000 Damages.

Joshua Newly, Californian, has instituted
suit in the United States Court against John G.
Hudelson, of New Castle, for damages to the
amount of $4,000. In last June, the complaint
alleges Hudeson sued Newly before justice of
the peace, at New Castle for SOL 81, and caused
the defendant to be held in custody by a special
constable until after he had entered into recog-
nizance in the sum of 5000. After change of
venue had been taken, the jury returned YER
dict that Newly owed Hudelson nothing but
gave the defendant judgment against the plaintiff
for 81. Hudelson appealed the case
and had the personal possessions
of Newly attached, 80 as to prevent
3d. 600 due him from different persons was gar
nished. The attachment suit was tried in
Henry county this month, resulting in verdict
in favor of Newly. and assessing the costs of
the case against the plaintiff, Hudelson. Newly,
in his complaint filed in the federal court yester
day, claims that he was never at any time in
debted to Hudelson. and the affidavit of the lat
ter, on which the eapias ad respondum was is
sued against him was false and malicious, the
purpose OF 1t being to harass and vex him. He
claims that he has suffered in reputation, and
has been caused much mental anguish by the
shame and disgrace occasioned by Hudelson's
suits In making his defense he lost three
months OF time. and incurred expenses amount
ing to $500. in addition to which he was dam
aged $500 by being kept out of the use of the
So, 600 owing him. He therefore, asks judgment
for damages to the amount of $40, 600.

The Chicago newspaper men are excited over
a report that Mr.. Julian Hawthorne, the novel

the clerk of the Grand Pacific Hotel.
1.-THE Song He Never Wrote" will probably be
the last contribution from the pen of Mrs Jack
son t''H H.") to appear in the Century. In
December her seven last poems were published.
The one to be given in January was received last
winter.
An extraordinary attempt. now in progress,
to make an artificial crossing between wheat
and rye, is fully described by Charles Barnard
in the forthcoming January Century. The at
tempt is to make new and standard cereal for
breadstuffs.
Mr.. Aldrich has found time, amid his anony-
nous labors, to put his name to a short story
called 1.-TWO Bites at Cherry" which will ap-
pear in the January Atlantic. The same num-
Der will present the opening chapters of Miss
Murfree's SIN the Clouds"
A new story by Joel Chandler Harris ("Uncle
Remus') will be one of the striking features of
the January Century. 1t is entitled "Trooble
on Lost Mountain" and it is accompanied by
two pictures by young kemble, who illustrated
Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn"
The pseudonym of Sidney Luska," which ap-
pears on the title-page of "As 1t Was Written"
stands for Henry Harland. Mr.. Harand is
clerk in the registers Office. He is not Jew,
has been surmised though he has given the sub
ject of the social and commercial position of the
Jews much study.
Josiah Aliens Wife Miss Marietta Holly. has
been for some time, and still is seriously i'll.
She corrected on her sick bed the proofs of her
book, Sweet Cicely." just issued by Messrs.
Funk & Wagnals. Her publishers have received
a note from the physician in attendance upon
her in which he pronounces her quite i'll.
Those persons who 'extra-illustrate" books
will be glad to know that Houghton Mifflin &
Co. have printed a number of steel portraits of
the authors on their list, which they sell apart
from the books. The latest addition TO this col
lection is portrait of Mr.. Lowell which is an
excellent likeness and an admirable piece OF steel
engraving.
The Christmas numbers of the London
Graphic and Illustrated London News come with

charm of the drawing and color is always new,

NEW POEMS BY TENNYSON.
Sample Verses from the Volume Which Eng

New YORK., Dec. 15.-The Independent hal
received by cable, and will publish in its mex
issue, two extracts from Tennyson's new volume
The first which is reputed one of the best Of
the short poems. is as follows:
EARLY SPRING.
Once the heavenly power makes all things new
And domes the red plowed hills
With loving blue;
The blackbirds have their wills,
The thrushes too.
Opens door in heaven. From skies of glass
A Jacobs ladder falls
On greening grass;
And Ger the mountain walls
Young angels pass.
And shine the level lands
And flash the floods;
The stars are from their hands
Flung through the woods.
The woods with living airs how softly famed,
Light airs from where the deep,
All down the sand,
Is breathing in his sleep,
Hard by the land.
Q follow, leaping blood, the seasons lure;
. heart, look down and up,
Serene, seeure.
Warm as the crocus bud,
Like snow drops pure.
Past, future, glimpse and fade through some slight
CLEAN from yonder vale,
Some far blue fell;
And sympathies, how fral
In sound and smell,
Till at thy chuckled note. thou twinkling bird,
The fairy fancies range,
And lightly stirred,
Ring little bells of change
From word to word
For now the heavenly Power makes all things new,
And thaws the cold, and fills
The flower with dew;
The blackbirds have their wills,
The poets, too.
The second extract is from the poem on
Tiresias, which gives its name to the volume

With some strange hope to see Thee nearer God
One naked peak, the sister of the sun,
Would climb from out the dark and linger there
To silver all the valleys with her shafts.

Of years lay. The woods dead for heat

For shadow; not one bush was

And speak the truth, that no man may believe"
