ALITTLE BIT OF GRAMMAR.
George Augustus Sala us to the Use
of That and Which.

In the matter of the relative pronoun. In
despite of large number Of correspondents
who have written to me, more or les
patronizingly, to tell me that it is quite cor
rect to say 1.-The letter you wrote" instead
of The letter which, or ''that you wrote. ,
| maintain that the omission of the relative
pronOun leads to the writing and speaking
of slipshod English. and that slipshOd
English is bad English. The only English
grammar for which l care much is Cobb
ett's. Goblet, that writer of eXcellently
sound English, says nothing about any
license to omit the relative pronOun; but he
does write as follows:
lcannot, even for the present, quit these
relative pronOunS without observing to you
that they are words of vast Importance, and
that more errors, and errors of greater con-
sequence, arise from a misapplcation Of
them than from the misapplication Of almost
all the the other classes of words put to-
gether. The reason is this, they are rela-
tives, and they frequently stand for the rep
resentatives of that which has gone before
and which stands in distant part Of the
sentence.
But now for something slightly drolI.
One of my correspondents thinks that he
has Inc on the hip by pointing out that,
in more than one paragraph of last weeks
Echoes" omitted the relative pronoun.
On referring to the page in question find
that my correspondent is quite right. The
reason why the relative pronouns were
omitted is that the amanuensis to whom l
dictate is lady, who, with the sweet con-
tempt of her charming sex for grammar,
probably thinks relative pronouns NASTY,
tiresome things" I might have corrected
the errors in the proof. you may say; but
l am ill, and growing binder every week.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
For Ames and Prohibition.

Tt the Editor of the CLOSE:
/ subscribe TO tie axiom, do little evil
that good may come of it," Doubtful morals,
perhaps, but sanctioned by high authority.
The Republican party, which has tackled
and filed SO often Oh the Prohibition
issue, is no longer TO be trusted in
the matter. AT this 1 am satisfied,
and particularly so since the Chicago con-
ventlOn of the 10th inst. The only way to id
vance prohibition is to clean out the grand
Old party root and branch. In this state the
way to start it (the cleaning out work. is to
elect Ames uud Democratic legislature.
When accomplished, if ex-senator Window and
his Minnesota crowd, backed up by Senators
EGmuuds, Blaine. ct al, choose to cast their
fortunes with Il National Prohibition party,
well and good; they can take their chances
in q new deal for office with the old wheel
horses of the prohibition movement. My
word for it. if Ames is elected governor and
a Democratic legislature convenes at st. Paul
Securing Democratic United States senator
from this state), the Prohibition party will
not have standing room for its members at
the next presidential election. Don't you see
it? Then ali together, Hip. hip hurrah for
Ames and prohibihou!!! with TIGER!!!!

Under Spirit Influence.

To the Editor of the Globe.
In the Pioneer Press there appeared an ar
ticle under the heading of Hearty and Hsr-
moniou s." in which it is supposed to give the
views of the saloon people in regard to the
coming election, under the caption of 1.-The
Ladies Love Him, Too" 1t gives what pur-
ported to be interviews between the reporter
and the different madams in the city. I
called on the parties named. and the answer
of one is q good sample Of the rest. She said ::
'SThree young men, considerably under the in
fuence of liquor, came in the house last
night and asked me how 1 stood in the CON-
ing election. Finding out that they wanted
me to say that / was in faver of Ames and
as they were blowing themselves in like
drunken sailors, did so, and concurred in
everything further they said.'' RIB.

A great Contest.

Last week we gave the particulars of the
attempt of Chicago to bring together Harry
Wilkes, Oliver < and Belle F in a contest
in that city. Oliver K has made remark
ably brilliant record this season. and his
recent performances have raised a question
as to how much speed he has. There is no
question as to his staying qualities. The
curiosity is to see what his extreme limit of
speed is Good judges regard him as the
only trotter able to extend Harry Wilkes.
If the weather is good and no accident hap
pens the question will be definitely settled
at Washington park, Chicago, Sept. 20.
The Washington Park club has opened a
grand special sweepstakes of $500 each and
adds 5000. Fifty per cent. goes to the
winner. IS per cent. to the second and Is
per cent to the third horse. Belle + has
also accepted the conditions.

HIS AWKWARD MISTAKE.
The Woman Was His Friends Wife
and He Found il Out.


Coming down from Coney Island the
other evening young blood of whom we
can not say. HE is always gentleman"
received, through force Of circumstances, a
lesson that may be lasting one. 1t was
lovely moonlight night, and lawfully
welded man and wife stood leaning over
the guards of the boat. drinking in the
moonlight, the scenery. wholly under the
charm Of the place and the hour. Some
people never grow too old to withstand the
spell and Wtchery of moonlight and our
married couple were lovers again. ObliviOus
of surroundings, one arm was thrown care
lessly around the yet slender waist OF the
girlish wife, In the name of all the detles
and by all the laws and canonS OF church
and state, where should the arm of a mar
lied man be on a moonlight night II not en-
circling the form of his cherished wife?
Our young blood in question. who had
lived perhaps some forty odd years i'll this
naughty world, had never before to his GER
tain knowledge beheld such spectacle in
all its legal purity! That man would
ever publicly embrace his own wife was as
far from his base, sordid imagination as the
antipodes. 1t must OF necessity be some
other woman. He recognized the gentle
man in question as Qu0ndam friend, took
in the situation as he supposed at once, and
gave the lady in question vigorous poke
with his cane. The lady screamed, and.
10, scene and revelation. Apology after
apology was stammered. Il knew your
husband, bat did not know it was YOU"
Dynamic were the chances of the Infatuated
woman. The apology out-Heroded the in
suit. She demanded satisfaction from the
wretch who had outraged her honor and,
harder pill to swallow, that of her husband.
Friends interceded, however. apologies
were accepted and the affair has blown
over. otquite; in the breast of the young
wife was sent an arrow which will rankle
for many day. Would her husband have
stood there with any other woman?

ShOddy Yankees.
London Truth.

London Truth.
The manner in which ''shoddy" Yankees
are pushed in, London society and the high
favor which they enjoy at Marlborough
house have long been themes for the deris-
i've comments of the American press. The
leading Washington journal observes that
the recent London season "was worked for
all it was worth as a social advertisement
by certain New Workers." and it is added:
1T is decidedly amusing to read constantly
of the doings of persons in London who,
despite their most persistent efforts. have
utterly failed to gain admittance into New
York society," The writer might truly
have concluded by stating that some of the
most recent stars did not try their luck in
London till they had utterly failed" to
gain admittance into Paris society.

Pierre EOriiiard.

Mr.. Lorillard. the great breeder of thor
oughbreds, makes the announcement that
on Friday, Oct. Is. he will sell at public
auction. without reserve. his entire breed
ing stud at RancocaS, consisting OF hve
stations and seventy-nine brood mares.
The reasons for his abandoning the business
of breeding are not given. OF course 1t is
stated that he has not the time 10 spare 10
attend to the business. 1t will, without
doubt, be the greatest sale of thoroughDTedS
that has ever been held in the world. Inc
stud is one that has cost Mr.. Lorillard fully
$3.50. 900 in collecting. Among the stations
offered will be Mortimer, Duke OF Magenta,
Iroouois. PizzaTo and Siddartha. The
mares are too numerous to publish, but
many OF them are familiar to the public.
The sale will be held at the Rancocas farm.
During the spring of 1887 the RancocaS
wearing foals OF 1856 will be sold. and Mr.
p. Lorillard, Jr.. will train the few two
year-olds he has which will be the only
vestige of the once famous Rancocas.

Londom,s Graceful Dancing Girls.

The premiereS in the Alhambra, If not the
best you ever saw, are plump, pretty and
graceful, the coryphees ditto. the hundreds
of other girls ditto, and the work that they
do is well-cOnceived, skillfully ordered and
fitted to music. which, with the dancing,
really tells story without words, as bal
1t should. London man ayers haven't
learned, or perhaps have discarded the
practice of recruiting their corps de ballet
from homes of aged and destitute females.

The Great GIemview Sale.

All horsemen of Minnesota are Interested
very deeply in this great sale of horse
stock. 1t is one of the most celebrated
stables in the country, and is remarkable
for the variety and high quality OF the
stock. Mr.. Thomas b. Marrett, Of st.
Paul. has stallion colt from the Glen
view stables that attracts attention where
ever he is seen. Undoubtedly many breed
ers from Minnesota will attend the sale,
with a view OF picking out some choice
stock. MI J. B. McFerran, the executor,
publishes card in regard to the sale,
from which we take the following extract:
/ beg 10 say to the public that the GleAview
sale catalogue has gone TO press, aud that kao
further private sales viii be made, in fact
only one animal, q yearling colt, has been
sold since the sale announcement was first
made So that no cuiing has taken place,
the very heart OF twelve or fifteen years
hard study and work, the very selections of
selections. will pass under the autiOneers
hammer, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday. Oct. II, Is, ii and 10 next.
1t is not ut all probable that any OF the
heirs, either directly or indirectly, will
make single bid (although they are
especially authorized by the court to do so.)
The property IS completely at the mercy or
the breeders OF the country. 1t remains for
them to say whether the cream OF trottIng
stock is worth much or little. 1t is likely this
sale will set Z mark for values of the trotter
for. some time to come, and it certainly would
seem in the interest OF continuing breeders
that it should he Il liberal one.
Glenview. in its earlier days of weakness
and struggle. never resorted to questionable
methods in sales, and now in the days OF its
dispersal, the public may rest assured that
honorable record shall not be furnished.
Every bidder may know of a surety that his
opposing bid represents real hard cash.
