Defending tho Dutch Language.

Our aggressive mother tongue, which is
pushing its way into every corner Of the
earth, has aroused the South African repub-
lie by its encroachments, and the Beers are
rallying to tho defense Of Dutch as the ma
tional language,
When 1t was announced in the volksraad
tho other day that the English language wns
spoken in the public Offices, In the markets.
and was even creeping into the courts, the
vice president stood up for the yernacular,
aud declared that be would give every drop
Of blood In his body to uphold the Dutch
language The legislature then authorized
the government TO require that only the
Dutch be used by public officials and in the
market places and courts. Two Englishmen
who were enjoying a lawsuit were thereupon
informed that IL they could not talk Dutch
they must hire an interpreter or get out OF
urt.-New York Sun.

With golden harvest Of a stock 50 stanch,

To drop the figure, friends-iet's be content

The modest veil they wear may not raise,
Lest he should blush to hear, and to praise.

To build chimney thas will draw forever

largo enough-sixteen inches square; use
good brick, and clay instead OF lime up to

story Of Greoley,s Eccentricity.

Story of Greeley,s Eccentrictty.
Erastns Brooks, oncc editor Of the New
York Express, told me very interesting
story about Horace Greeley. They were
commissioners together Ia 1855, representing
the United States in the Partisan exposition
of that year. They were to DO presented,
with the other commissioners, to the EN-
percr, and assembled for that purpose in a
drawing room Of the hotel, whence they were
going in body to the palace. Mr., Brooks
noticed that Mr. Greeley's coat collar was
turned up, and that one OF his trousers legs
was caught over his boot Calling the edi-
tors attention to his disarranged toilet, Mr.
Brooks adjusted the collar, and, bonding low,
put the trousers leg in its proper position. A
half hour later, audience being given, what
was Mr. Brooks amazement and annoyance,
upon looking at his friend and comrado Gree
ley. to see his attira rearranged precisely as
it had been before Mr.. Brooks set 1t right
The Irresistible inference in Nh. Brooks
mind was, and continued so down to tho date
Of telling me the story, that the oddly Of
costume was intentional on tho part of Mr..
Greeley.-Joe Howard in Oncs Week.
