Some odd MistransIatIons
[Cornhill Magazine.l


The works of various English prose writers
have, in some places, been incorrectly trans
lated owing to the fact that in the original a
phrase or word has been used in purely
technical sense. An English historian, re-
ferring to an incident in-the- Seven Year S
War, said that Lord George Sackville was
..ls4oken" for, cowardice at the battle of
Minder, employing this expression as a
synonym for cashiered. A French writer
quoted this paragraph, translated the word
"broken" as "roue," which.means broken on
the wheel; and he appended a note to the
statement. in which he commented stronly
upon the barbarity of in 1;cting-for purely
military offeDce-a punishment which, in
France. was reserved for crimes only of the
deepest dye. Miss Cooper, a daughter of the
Americad novelist, states that when in Paris
she saw French translation of her fathers
tale '.The Spy" in which there were several
mistakes but one of them was such that it
was almost incredible that anyone could pos
sibly have been guilty of it. The residence
of Mr.. Wharton, one of the characters who
figure in the story, is spoken Ofby the author
as "The Locusts.'' Now, the translator has
been evidently ignorant of the circumstances
Of there being any species of trees bearing
this name. Having, therefore, looked out
the word in his dictionary, and hndlng the
definition to be given as lies Saturelles'-
grasshoppers-thus he rendered it in his
text. Presently, however, he came across a
paragraph in the novel in which it was stated
that visitor to the house of Mr. Wharton
had tied his horse to a locust. Then it
might be naturally supposed that the trans
lator would at once have discovered his error
Not bit of it! His reasoning would appear
to have been somewhat on parity with that
of celebrated countryman of his, when he
declared that ''if the facts do not agree with
the theory, so much the worse for the facts"
Nevertheless, the writer seems to have been
conscious that some explanation was due of
so extraordinary statement as that a horse
man had secured his steed to grass hopper
Consequently he went on to gravely inform
his readers that in America these insects
grow to enormous size; and that, in this case,
one of these-dead and stuffed, of course
had been stationed at the door of the man
sion for the convenience of visitors on horse

resentative of the PRESS was not sent to
misrepresent but to get the news. In any
other city of Maine we should rely on the
report which the reporters of the local
daily would make; but on the Ban
gor Whig we felt that we could not
rely even for the simple and easily OBJ
tanned news of ward caucus. The event
amply confirmed our expectation. In the
Bangor Whig Of the morning after the
caucus there was not whisper even of the
most interesting political event that has
occurred in Bangor for years; We mean the
defeat so ungraciously administered to the
venerable Hannibal Hamlin. Ex-Governor, ex-
Senator and ex-Vice President of the United
States, by hundred and sixty-four Burleigh
men who did not want him to 60 to Portland
and speak for an old friend. When the local
paper not even mentions a fact like this, it is
time for its contemporaries TO send special
correspondents of their own. AS source of
news the Bangor Whig is getting to be about
as useful as the back numbers of the Reports
on Agriculture
To sustain its second charge, that the cor
respondent of the PRESS misrepresentedt the
occurrences in Bangor Tuesday night, the
Whig says that the Burleigh men. agreed to
his Mr. Hamlin's election by acclamation''
and further declared that he could 60 to the
convention free to act just as his judgment
dictated" If this had been SO does any
body suppose that Hannibal Hamlin would
at his age have refused the compliment of
unanimous election by his townsmen with
the assurance that he should be "free to act
just as his judgment Dictated" and instead
have gone into fight for the place which
the Whig says he could have had "by accla-
mation?" No one supposes such an absurd
thing. Mr.. Hamlins friends had ample
reason to expect what was to come; viz: The
instruction of the delegates in the ward to
vote for Burleigh. They saw that Mr..
Hamlin could go "free to act just as
his judgment dictated, if he "would keep his
mouth shut" or open it only against the can
didate of his choice This was the situation
in Bangor, and the correspondent of the
PRESS did not misrepresent it; and if the
Whig had known what was going on in its
own city it could not make the charges which
it does. Already through the columns of the
PRESS the Whig has learned that Mr.. HAM
lin was defeated we now hope it will be
able to appreciate the motives of indepen-
dence which impelled the old Roman to
court defeat rather than accept humiliating
condition.

OF the condition of work on the great canal
on the lsthmus of Panama there is much
doubt and many conflicting reports. But of
the political engineering which De Lesseps
is doing for the canal in France, there can be
no doubt whatever, and 1t entities the great
ditch digger to rank with the great states
men. Though the canal is costing far more
than the first estimates, and though the in
terest charges on the loans already made are
heavy and immediate drains on the new
loans, De Lesseps has so distributed the
stock Of his enterprise that the French pov-
ernment dares not let it collapse. II was
argued that to give the work up now would
be to give it over to some foreign country to
complete. This would have resulted in de-
spelling four hundred thousand French in
vestors, whose influence in a democratic
country like France would be fatal to the
politician or the party that should stand in
the way Of a government loan. Besides, it
is thoroughly believed in France that the
work is getting along well, and that it is
certain to be completed if properly sup
ported. AS there is doubtless money enough
in France to complete the work, and as the
political influence of the stockholders is
sufficient to wiring the money through the
government, the future of the canal looks
much brighter than it did a few months ago.
Whether it will ever be able to pay fair
rate of interest on the tremendous invest
ment is question about which the French
stockholders are not troubling themselves
now. They are devoting all their energies
now to saving their principal, and with De
Lesseps to manage for them, they seem
likely to do so.

The best speech made in the House by the
opposition to the Mills bill, up to yesterday
was, all things considered, the speech of
Congressman Butterworth of Ohio. Not
only were his arguments telling in them
selves. but they were put in very forci-
BILE way, and commanded the undivided at
tention of the House. Perhaps the most
striking portion Of his address was the part
in which he pointed out to Irsh-Americans
how they are playing into the hands of Eng
land by allying themselves with the Democ-
racy and voting for free trade. In this con-
nection he quoted this sentence from the
London Times 'The only time that Eng
land can use the Celt is when he moves TO
America and votes for free trade, which he
almost invariably does"

The Bangor Whig speaks of the I''practical
unanimity' with which Bangor endorsed
Mr.. Burleigh's candidacy, but has never
given any figures to show the size of this
unanimity," except in Ward /, where there
were 80 votes for Burleigh and 10 against
These figures, added to the results in the
3rd, 4th, 9th and 7th Wards, which were
given in Wednesdays PRESS, and which.
though collected hurriedly have not been
challenged, will show that in five of Ban
gor's seven wards there were Ala votes for
: Mr.. Burleigh and 273 against him. In five
wards, with every man drummcd out, Mr..
Burleigh had majority Of only 14l. In
one of tie other wards the contest was so
close that one Of Mr.. Burleigh's delegates
pulled through with only eight votes to
spare In Ward 6. where there was no con-
test, Mr.. Burleigh's vote was very far under
hundred. We hardly think that after ma
ture reflection the Whig will venture to rep
resent this as practical unauimity."

been imposed upon by its correspondent OF
else is trying to impose upon the public.
Assuming the first to be true it shows that
the mental calibre of the News is very small.
Assuming the second 1t shows that the News
thinks the people are fools. No correspond
ent would ever have deliberately asked Mr..
Blaine If he would support Mr.. Depew if he
became the Republican candidate for the
Presidency, neither would Mr. Blaine have
mildly replied to such question, implying
as it does doubt of his loyalty to the Re-

on TO give as reason for supporting him
that he was a good friend of his. Neither is
it probable that Mr.. Blaine would have COM

he held it, that Mr.. Shermans chance of
securing the nomination was secondary.
