habits Of expression, the choice Of
words. the tendency toward Latin or
Greek formation. and SO forth, will be
struck 1T once with the inherent prob

phrases and expressions:

the phrases which are quoted above
The family resemblance is common t,

call for another County Democratic Con-
vention has been handed to us for pub
lication. We had previously prepared
plain statement Of the facts Of this
unfortunate division as they occurred in
the County Convention on Saturday
last. The Convention was regular in
all respects. Every question submitted
to it was determined in just and fair
manner. The majority in that body
claim the right to rule. This rule is in
herent and its exercise is necessary for
the selr-prescrvation Of the Convention,
as we'll as the well-bclng Of the Democ-

our duty and we shall dare maintain it,
and preserve thereby the integrity and
unity Of the Democratic party Of Oco-

There is no excuse for man who
gets mad with his friends because a flea
bites him, or who concludes that the
world is out Of joint because he sees it
through jaundiced eyes. 1t is fruitless
to chase a lie when it has gotten good
start, with any hope Of overtaking it,
for it takes to itself longer legs than
has any man who thinks he can catch,
up with it. Teachers will generally
find that Misrepresentation will soon
die if let alone ; at least, they can never
be made less lively by running after
them.

The dispatches from Deer Park com
plicate the pathological! question which
has been in controversy for several
months, Who invented the celebrated
phrase ''innocuouS dcsuctudc %
Some authorities have attributed it to
Secretary Bayard Others believe that
Col. Dan Lamont devised the cxprcs-
sion. Mr.. Blaine says that it manircstly
originated with the Hon. Alvey A.
Adec, Third Assistant Secretary of
State. According to some of the able
journalists who are spending the honey
moon at Deer Park, Mr.. Cleveland
claims the invention as his own.
This claim, or admission, was made
in the frank, free intimacy Of conver-
sation with several Of the reporters
whom he had invited up to the cottage.
Mrs. Cleveland had been reading aloud
to the reporters some Of the congratula-
tory kilograms just received by the
happy pair. In one of these the phrase
'innocuous dcsuctude' was facetiously
employed by the sender:
There has been considerable dis
cussion as to the origin Of that phrase
asserted n reporter.
Oh, it originated with me- respond
cd the President knowingly, Ircmark-
ed when wrote the words that they
would probably give rise to considerable
amusement throughout the country, but
the variations that have been played
upon it exceeded my expcctaticns.'
Another despatch gives slightly
different version of what the President
said
"'Where did you get the words .''in-
nocuous deSuetude % asked one Of the
isitors.
:" They were my own, the President
answered. 4 wrote them without
thinking how they would sound. On
reading over the letter said to myself
those two words will make some fun,
but they are not bad and will let them
stand. There all there is to it,
Here is third account:
Before leaving, one Of the reporters
asked by the way, Mr.. President,
there has been svme discussion as to
who invented the expression "innoc-
uous dcsuctude," and where it cam
from 90
"'Oh,' answered Mr.. Cleveland with
a hearty laugh, Il invented it, thought
it might ainuse somebody -
And still another:
It's my idea replied the Prcsi-
dent Il used those words and thought
they would please the Western tax
payers, who are fond Of such things -
The various versions agree as to the
the main point. Mr.. Cleveland asserts
his undivided claim to the authorship of
the phrase that has occasioned so much
controversy. lie says that he invented
irnocuous desuctudc, and put it into his
message with deliberately humorous in
tent.
But is Mr.. Cleveland's recollection
accurate ? There, is such thing as un-
conscious assimilation and repetition.
Everybody knows how easy it is for a
speaker or writer, without the slightest
intention to plagiarizc, to appropriate
and offer as original and idea or form,
of expression which has impressed it.

of his ganglia, unaccompanied by a

FUNERAL NOTES.
The Dead of the Week.

The number of deaths in Richmond for
the past week was not large but there
were several very sad features. Among
these occurred the funeral of one OF Rich
mond's oldest and most hOnored citizens,
and several were gathered together IN all
the vigor of young manhood. The deaths
of no less than three young ladies were
reported between 10 and 2O-just budding
into sweet young wOmanhood. One Ola
colored man reported to be 1Ol years OF
age was gathered to his fathers, and a
number of infants who like 1.-The sweet
flower that scents the morn" fingered but
awhile and were cut down.
In Manchester this morning will occur
the funeral of Mrs. Beattie, who survived
her husband but three weeks.
Death has all seasons for its own, ano
is not to be more dreaded in December
than in May. There seems something
more solemn always in death in the bleak
and drear days of winter, and we dislike
to see the body of our loved ones con
signed to the tomb amid ice and snow
But this should not be So AS the seeC
will burst the elements of the tomb IN the
springtime and flourish in all loneliness
so will these loved ones rise again. As L
is we should be gratified to know tina
they sleep in their narrow beds IN peace
and that Nature, with loving hand, ha
tucked a white sheet round them
