The Hot Springs star. (Hot Spings [Hot Springs], Dakota [Dakota Territory, i.e. S.D.]) 1886-189?, 1890-05-09

"a MAN born and bred in the United
States fails to appreciate how much
slang he daily uses in conversation"
said al intelligent American who had
just returned from O continental tour.
He fully appreciates these blemishes,
however. when lie returns to America
after having had daily intercourse with
some of the well-bred persons in
Europe. He picks up these blots on
perfect speech 80 gradually and they
multiply SO rapidly that before he is
aware of the extent of these acquisitions
at least one-tenth part of his vocaE,-
larry consists of slang expressions. This
fact is SO true Of America that even the
Ignorant peasants of Ireland recognize
it when their countrymen return to
their native land. AS heard in America
slang seems to add force and express
ion to conversation, but this is only
seeming, for when contrasted with really
simple and consequently elegant diction
the difference in strength can be seen.
There are some slang words. however,
in the American vocabulary which, il
used at the right time and place, find
their bulls-eye like a minnie ball. But
as a rule the use of slang words is only
a blemish on conversation, and its use
cannot be too heartily candemned."

EVAN ADAMS, of P%leasantville, N. j.,
who has had 1876 housekeepers since the
death of his wife, about seven years ago,
was driven the other day to the roof of his
house by his housekeeper, who, armed
with nh av, had demanded her wages
and a letter which she claimed he had
intercepted. She recovered her letter,
but vas compelled to leave without her
wages.

dog Of house which he had incau.
tiously entered for the purpose of exer-
cising his profession. Although the
bite was not of q severe nature, yet the
tramp, whose dilapitiated aud repulsive
appearance was sufficient to excite the
wrath of even the mildese-mannered
dog, had the nerve to bring suit against
the owner of the inhospitable quadruped,
and to claim damages on the ground
that the bite had "~incapacitated him for
work" The Swiss courts at Zurich at
once recognized the Justice of his de-
mands and have given q decision which
should be treasured by the tramps in
every part of the world. For it declares
explicitly that the owner of a house is
responsible for the safety of all persons
who come to see him, v when the
visit is for the purpose of making an
appeal to his benevolence."

A CURIOUS phenomenon is reported
from Batonm, on the shores of the
Black Sea. During a complete calm
the sen is said to have suddenly receded
from the shore, leaving it bare to a
depth of ten fathoms. The water of the
port rushed out to sea, tearing many of
the ships from anchorage, and causing
q great amount of damage. After a
short time the sea resumed its usual
level.

THERE is a terrible story from North
Queensland about q man who was lost
in the bush. He used up all of his wa
ter, but fortunately, he came to water
hole, where he slaked his thirst, and
found the road again. he had still
some thirty miles to go, however, and
had nothing whatever to carry water in.
of course it would have been madness
to attempt to travel thirty miles on foot
under q North Queensland sun without
water, SO his ready invention came to
his aid. He had been Mortified a short
distance back by the skeleton of a man,
who had evidently been dead several
years. He went back and got the skull,
plugged mp the eyeloles with clay, and
filled it with water. He then tramped
the thirty miles on the water contained
in the skull.

M. HERIor, the owner Of the big
store called the Louvre, in Paris, was
sent to the insane asylum by his rela-
tions because he insisted upon giving
$1,000, 900, which he could readily af-
ford to lose, to founding an orphanage
for soldiers children. The local au-
tl,orities finally ordered that he should
lie removed from a private asylum and
placed in a public one, and it wa
quickly found that he was not insane at
all. For thiiteen months treatment the
private asylum doctors demand $22.50
the local doctors want $4,000, three
medical students who helped to find
him crazy $13,5O0O and the keepers
$4,000. Itisno wonder that they wanted
to keep him insane at that rate.

The Twelfth district convention
will meet atthe court house Saturday
at II o'clock, to appoint delegates to
the county convention May q. All
Democrats should attend and take
part in the proceedings. 1t is not
customary in the district conventions
to instruct delegates what to do in
the county convention, and it is not
supposed anything Of the kind will
be done. The idea here is for repre-
sentative men from the several dis
tricts to meet together, consult and
take such action as may seem best
for the public interest. Our people
are Of one sentiment in regard to the
only question up, and the LEAF
CHRONICLE anticipates no scramble
or partisan element to handicap the
delegation with a second or third
choice, and consequently expects
nothing but harmonious meeting.

Tobacco Notes.

This has been the busiest week of
the season at the Exchange. Tobacco
is coming in with a rush and is Of
fered freely. Prices have advanced
from 81 90 to 81 so on good qualities.
This shows the demand for fine to-
bacco and the importance of moder-
ate planting and proper attention to
obtain the best quality.
Smith, Anderson a Wood sold two
Hhds. for Emmett Morrow at $16.25
and SIG so, purchased by Clark and
Ben. Gold, also one HID. for anoth-
party at $14.75. Meriwether & Cant
sold 6 Hhds. at $12.75 to $1,000. Ken
drick, Pettus & Co. sold 81 Hhds. at
$500 to $500. Hancock. Hallums
& Co. sold % Hhds. at $11.25 to
$14.25. Herndon & Major sold 1G
Hhds. at $1,000 to $14.0O. All the
houses had good sales all the way
through. Again we would advise
planters that there is more profit in
small crops of good tobacco than
large crops of common grades.
George Krembleberg, the great to-
bacco man of New York, repre-
scented in this market by Ben Gold,
is here this week attending the to-
bacco sales in person, and will prob
ably remain over next week.
w. B. Anderson, of the Peoples
House, has been dangerously i'll this
week with flux. He is reported
much better this morning.

SEWERAGE SYSTEM.
The Contract to be Awarded
Next Monday Evening.
Contractors from Nashville, Memphis
and Evansville Looking Around
and Putting In Bids for
the Work.

The sewerage question is being
talked pretty generally on the streets
to-day. This comes about by several
contractors being in the city for the
purpose of looking over the ground
and putting in bids for the con
struction of the sewers that will
be built at present. The bids
will close next Monday, and.on The
evening Of that day the bids will be
opened and the contract awarded the
lowest bidder.
The project now is to construct The
main sewer of the system. This
will be of brick and will be laid OF
Jefferson street, beginning at thC
river and running east. The ulti
mate design is to drain Main stree
pond and double pond. 1t is claimed
that by constructing this main sewer
these two ponds can be drained by
running pipes from the main sewer
to the ponds.
Contractors have been in the city
from Memphis, Nashville and
Evansville, while those bidding
from greater distance will put in al
appearance between now and Mon
day. These parties are supposed Il
be responsible and eminently able Il
do the work. They will be required
to give certified check for $1,000 Of
a good bond for $4,000 before
they are allowed to begin operations
Work will begin as soon al
possible after the contract is let, ant
pushed with all possible speed.
r. l.. Hartford, the gentleman
who prepared the plans and specifica
tions, is expected in the city to
morrow. He will come as consult
ing engineer for the city. The sew
erage committee deemed it best t.
have Mr.. Hartford on hand wher
the contract is awarded, to see thai
each bidder fully understands The
requirements of the contract.
Mr.. Broderick, of Nashville, who
was at one time a contractor on the
l., A. & Il. railroad while it was be
ing constructed, is expected here to
day. He puts in a bid to construc
the sewers, and is regarded as one o
the best men bidding. There is nj
way of finding out how much money
the contractors will want for doing
the work. The bids will be sealed
and will not be opened until mex
Monday evening, May 10.
Much interest attaches to the mat
ter of awarding the contract, and il
will be interesting to know exactly
how much the bids will differ.
1t is a settled fact, however, that
GAINESVILLE will have sewerage sys
tenn, and it is gratifying to the PEG
pie in the neighborhood of the Main
street pond to know that a move
ment is on foot to rid them of the
superabundance of water now on
hand. 1t is safe to say that the
spring rains of 1891 will not affect
the value of property in that partic-
ular locality. When once the system
is started it can be added to as fast as
practicable, taking the city's exche-
quer as a guide.

when turned in they gorged them
selves on wet clover, which is almost
sure to kill. People should be care
