Why Some People swear.

Some people have been found to say
good word for bad language; but
this is out of love of paradox. They
have pleaded that the custom of swear
ing is analogous to that of emphatic
speaking, and that those who are too
lazy to think of the right word to
express their meaning, crop, out of
sheer carelessness, into the easy slip
shod style of using expletives. Un-
fortunately, it is not merely the
ignorant, who might by some possi-
bility be supposed not to know the
correct term to employ iu order to
express strong feeling, that are guilty
of the improper habit. 1t prevails to
a considerable extent in circles where
refinement and education are supposed
to prevail. Men who have been to the
university, and possibly have come out
as tirst-class men or wranglers, have
been known before now to take the
shortcut road to their meaning which
swearing unhappily supplies. In such
cases, perhaps, it may be urged in ex-
cuse that severe academical training CT
examinations have so reduced their
stock of brain power that the discovery
of the appropriate and seemly adjective
to apply in any case is as difficult for
these lights of learning as for the
ploughboy or the day laborer. And
there may be something in this excuse.
Intellectual laziness is accountable for
q good deal of the hasty judgement as
we'll as the hasty Language which, is cur
rent; and in the rush and hurry of life
busy man may argue that he really
has no time to be particular about his
phrases. This mi ght be accepted as a
legitimate plea if it could be shown
strong language is at all more easy
to utter than weak; such, however, is
not the case, and the whole thing is a
matter of habit. It begins, perhaps,
with intellectual laziness, or the desire
to appear on a par with the swearing
world around; boys adopt a lament
able variety of expletives, very often SIM
ply out of the cumulative faculty. Posi-
bly, the :'swell' of their school thinks it
a fine thing to call a game of cricket''in-
fernally tedious. whereupon his youth
full imitators proceed at once to garnish
their ordinary conversation with a
good deal of imagery borrowed from
the lower regions. The popular desire
of emphasis in speech must not blind
us to the fact that it is very i'll manners
to swear. The habit, whatever be its
origin. is deplorable one, and cannot
be legitimately defended by anybody.

about noontime. I seem to be looking

details that; to bring them out, 1 must
use q small hand-microscope. Nearly
fifty vehicles of every kind are IN sight
all in position of arrested motion. A

which q passenger rests his feet can
count with my microscope. The side
walks are crowded with every variety
of Parisian costumes. Near me, is =

officer as he passes him, and three
blocks away can see man sweeping
the street. School-boys and clerks,
shop girls and mechanics. soldiers and
street-sweepers, gentlemen of leisure
and rambling travellers, representing
every type of Partisan life, are all here.

EVEHTS OF THE DAY.
Mysterlous Deaths.

Considerable excitement was created at
Marshaltown, Iowa, the afternoon Of the
5th, by the discovery of two n.en in the
third story of a house in the Third ward,
one of whom was dead and the other living
names were Joseph Cavanaugh and John
Buckley. They were seen to enter tho
house Monday evening. Cavanaugh had
been an employe Of the Central Iowa rail:
way. He was addicted to periodical
sprees, and had just been released from
Jail for drunkenness. His wife was visiting
at Boone. Buckley WIS a stranger at Mar
shalton. The men were last seen at a So.
direct to Cavanaugh's house, where they.
were found in bed. There is mystery SUR
rounding their death. 1t was first supposed
they had frozen to death; but closer In
vestigation disproved this. Cavanaugh had
been dead several days. The supposition
now is that Buckley poisoned Cavanaugh
and then himself. 8

How Josh Billings Dlsgusted Two Now
York Confidence Men.

AOAA NVnAu0nV0 NASus
The Numerous ''sawdust' schemes
which have come to light recently haye
caused no small amount of talk with
reference to them, both in the street
and in business resorts. Tho other
day Ormond G. Smith, of the New
York Weekly, while seated in his busi-
ness office told the following story
about Josh Billings and his experience
with two clever rogues who endeavored
to work their little game on him:
''Josh was great student of human
nature. He liked nothing better than
to watch the different faces of large
crowd when greatly excited over some
thing more than usual; and he was
always able to draw some philosophic
inference from the study, which when
uttered in his dry humorous way.
seemed the more impressive. He was
not always particular in his dress, and
one day while walking in Broadway he
was accosted by a well-dressed fellow
who nook him for a countryman.
"'Morton, my dear fellow said he,

of Syracuse?'

"The young man looked confused,
begged bis parton, and then politely
took his leave. A couple of blocks
further on he met his companion, who
after short talk, followed Josh, and
met him on the next corner.
"'Why, how do you, Mr.. Bailey?
How's everything in Rochester, was
the elusive greeting.
