NEW ENGLAND IDIoMs.
Some Of the Noticeable PeculIarIties of the
Yankee Dialect.


Some Of the Noticeable PeculiarItIes of the
Yankee Dialect.
The drawing and twisting OF vowels
is by by no means characteristic OF Ver-
monters, nor OF Yankees in general.
1t is true that the offensive sounds are
heard here, but it is also true that they
belong to the more illiterate people, as
specially imperfect speech always does,
and that they are by no means confined
to the six States. This popularity Of
speech, the one thing most insisted
upon by writers upon Yankee dialect
from first to last and commonly nc
cepted as the great characteristic OF ths
people, is to-day heard more in New Jer.
sey than anywhere in the six States so
far as know, and is found more or less in
almost all parts of the country. Again,
while it is true that some genuine Yam
KEGS, and whole communities of them.
drop the "h' in such words as "whon"
so far as my observation goes, they are
not many.
The country around Boston shows
this popularity, but l have never met
1t elsewhere in New England, and here
it is utterly unknown. This, however,
is an English thing that is preserved in
England, as well as here, and
may be mot with in many
parts of the country. Another mat
ter OF lager sort than mere pronuncia-
tion. which is found among Yankees as
well as other people, is tho redundant
use OF negatives. Some members of the
race in this section are very ingenious
in piling them up, as may appear by
couple of instances ''taken from life,"
thus:
don't spose there amt nobody seen nothin'
o no old felt hat nowherei
don't s'pose you don't know of nobody that
don't want to hire nobody TO do nothin'f
1t will be observed that both these
instances are questions, and that each
begins with the II don't s'pose," which
comes so very often in Yankee speech.
But this use of negatives is not peculiar
to the Yankee any more than the drawl, |
although it is much more common in
this locality. And in relation to the
misuse of vowels one curious thing that
l have noticed is a tendency to reverse
the proper sound of "a" in some cases.
Thus a great many people in this sec
ton, il speaking the path to the pas
ture, will have tho "a" in the first
word as in the "last, " and in the last one
as in FAR" exactly reversing tho
proper places. The thing holds true
with a great many similar words

TRAVEL IN EUROPE.
How baggage is Handled in the Countries
of the Old World.

A familiar subject Of American com.

Tentative OF very reliable parcels de-
livery, each railroad undertaking to
seek and deliver parcels at no great
expense. Ten or twelve cents is tho
common price of getting trunk or
taking one home in England, and in
France you see the little Voitures de
Correspondence meeting the trains in
the country towns, and even in the
cities like Paris, going to boarding
houses and hotels to get passengers
upon order. The chief annoyance in
Europe to an American traveller is hav-
ing to pay for any trunk, however
small. That is country-and the
same can be said of all Europe-where
the boxing of goods is always charged
for, and the carrying of personal bag
gage other than mere hand baggage is
matter of perpetual expense. All
over America the traveller has about
10 POUNDS Tree, which accompanies
him on the train; and it is no doubt a
friendship to check his baggage so that
he can be assured of its safe delivery at
his residence or inn, though think that
the price is too high for baggage deiiv-
