SUMMER BEVERAGES.

The many synonyms and other intri-
cacies OF the English language are II
great trouble to foreign-born persons de-
sirous of learning to speak it in its
purity, and they are equally 50 to
the average American, when inter
larded with the current express
sions of the day. A man entered
drug store yesterday, and drawing
down the inner corner of his left eye
with the forefinger OF his right hand,
asked the clerk for some Sudden DEATH"
He got it, and an explanation proved
that he drank soda with "stick" in it.
The nomenclature OF summer beverages
forms n study, and he who would be
abreast of the times should con it care
fully. When accompanied by wife or
sister, intent on n glass OF soda
water, it is the proper thing to
wink with both eyes at the clerk and
speak any one OF the following cabalistic
expressions, and your reward will be n
bracer in the soda strong enough to burn
three-year-old paint, viz "a little essence
OF tarantula, please" or "a small dash
OF the widowmaker, Gimme n little
bug-juice, poverty's garland, strychnine,
tanglefoot, snake-bite, happy Hottentots,

desolation, the DEVILS glee, tamarac,
booze, O-be-joyful, Lanniga ms wake, rise
the roof Riley, oblivion, eye-water, ami
mostly on the half-shell," and several
others. The gentlemanly clerk is always
Il linguist par excellence, and possesses
powers that outshine the greatest necro
mancer OF the day, as he can pour all OF
the strangely-named compounds out OF
the wiser. In the swelterng heat
OF the coming summer solstice, when
the inner man is weak and the outer
dare not ask for plain whisky, these in
tricacies OF the language will prove a
godsend to the weary, and cause them to
launch benisons on the heads of the
Give points" photographers who coined
them. While the ordinary compound
sold and delivered in some places in Salt
Lake under the name of whisky, will
make sane and upright citizen go out
and climb up telegraph pole, under the
impression that an earthquake is in
progress, a dash OF any OF the foregoing
extracts in glass OF soda water pleases
the taste and puts man on the plane OF
good-fellowship with himself and every
body else in the world This was in
tended to be temperance article, but
somehow or other it does not read right.

THE AMERICAN OPINION.

In direct contrast to the self-laudatory
tone Of the British press on the defeat OF
the Home Rule bill, are the following
editorial comments OF the four great dai-
lies OF New York City, proving that, re-
gardless OF party distinction, the Ameri-
can people are in full accord and sympa-
thy with Gladstone and Parnell, and
look forward confidently to their final
success. Whatever OF buncombe was
contained in the action of Blaine at Port
land recently, is offset by the truths he
spoke, and the following excerpts will be
good reading, in view OF the "Thunder-
er's" opinion that Blaine did not voice
the opinions OF the American people.
The Tribune says;
Gladstone has not succeeded as he hoped.
His bill has not been read second time, but
he has formed powerful Home Rule party.
Last nights division proved this, if nothing
else. With numerous defections in opposite
quarters the great body of Liberal members
rallied to his support and sanctioned his
Irish policy. The Liberal party is com
mitted by last nights vote unequivocally in
the approaching election 1t will stand in
England and Scotland for what the Nation
alists stand in lreland-a separate legisla-
ture as means of reconciling the two coun-
tries.
The Sun says:
1t is just possible that the Queen, whose
sympathies with resistance to Home Rule
have been betrayed too indiscreetly for the
ultimate welfare of the Crown may be en-
boldened by last nights vote to respect the
counsel of her defeated Minister and refuse
to dissolve Parliament until the experiment
of a coalition Cabinet is tried. From such
an experiment, which will be short and full
of trouble, neither Ireland nor Gladstone
has anything to fear.
The Herdid says:
The end is not yet. The people are yet to
be heard from. The campaign upon which
England is now to enter will be the most
interesting and exciting in her history. 1t
will be battle of kings. The masses of
Ireland will appeal for local self government
TO the men of their own class throughout the
United Kingdom, and the decision of West
minister may be reversed by the popular will.
The IVOrld SAYS:
The only satisfaction Gladstone can have
is that the seed of grain he has sown will
take root, spring up and ripen in time, even
though 1t may not be in his time. He has
the consolation of having led the attack on
the British insular preiudices and the unim-
perial methods of craftsmanship.

that the press of this city is being heard
