H. NJ. LaRue informally addressed the
Board regarding the east levee, and related
his experience while residing near the
American river many years ago. he
thought the outside of that levee should
be riprapped with granite, in order to make
it impregnable against any possible heavy
rise in the American.
Mayor Gregory said the Board had al
ready provided for some 400 carloads OF
granite to be placed along the levee, and
that the work would be pushed without
delay. They proposed to spare no efforts
toward making that levee absolutely i'm
pregnahle.
After some further unimportant bust
ness, the Board adjourned.

LITTLE NICETIEs OF SPEECH.

Generally Known, but Not Always Needed.
Most people IN this enlightened age are
familiar with the rules of good English;
most people occasionally use poor Eng
lish. The following interesting points
have been culIed from Vanity Fair: ga
white and red calf'' means one calf, but
a ''white and q red caIf'' means two
calves There Is wide difference
between ability and capacity. Ca
pacity is the power of acquiring
knowledge, but ability is the
power Of applying it to practical pur-
poses. 81 found the way easy and
81 found the way easily" convey diff
ferent ideas. In speaking of a look of
illness on a PERSONS countenance, the
correct form is: "He looks bad - not
GLADLY. - The young lady may look
"bewitohingly' at the gentlemen, but
she looks fbewitching' in her silks and
jewels. Aggravate is frequently mis-
used. An offense may be aggravated,
but person is''proyoked, irritated or
angered. - Alike is often incorrectly
coupled with both. 'They are both
Just alike' is as incorrect as the Hiber-
nlcism. 81 saw it with both my eyes,
A disease spread lover alI'' the couu-
try, not call over' the country.
There is a difference between bravery
and courage. Bravery may be blind,
but courage advances with its eyes wide
open. Bring, fetch and carry are used
indiscriminately. To bring is to convey
to or toward; to reich is to go and bring,
which involves two journeys; to carry is
to convey away or off, and supposed to
both fetch or bring. The superfuous use
of but is common error. "There is no
doubt but that Mutt is guilty. should
read ''no doubt that, etc. Calculate is
sometimes vulgularly used tor intend,
purpose, expect, as "He calculates to
go tomorrow. Instead of ''Let you
and 1 CO., say "you and me-"
''He is as good as me- say a." In
stead of "'Who do you mean" say
"whom - For eff 1 was him'' saw
''if were he. - ''Who do you take it
to be, - should be "whom do you take it
to be. - 81 am surprised at John re-
fusing to go should be sat Johns re-
fusing. 'They prevented him going
forward - ought to be prevented his
going forward. -
There is a nice distinction between
answer and reply. We answer a cues
ton or letter, but we reply to an ar0u-
ment or accusation. Lovers of big words
sometimes say anticipate instead of ex-
pect. Now we may expect visit from
burglars, but We do not anticipate them
unless we take measures to Illustrate
their designs. Any should not be used
in place of at all. 1t should be ''she is
not at all better, - not "any'' better.
At all, as an extensive phrase, Is too
frequently used. Sometimes IT gives
emphasis, but generally it is mere taut-
ology. At length should not usurp the
place OF at last. eat length we heard
from him - should be "At last we heard
from him. !" At length means fully, in
detail. Balance is enormously used for
rest or remainder. 'tHe used the rest
of his money to improve his farm, - is
not "the balance Between is often
misdsed Tor among. Between is used
with reference to two. A man divided
his property between two children; If he
had more than two it would be his duty
to divide it among them.

From Affiuence to Beggary.

A New York correspondent of the New
Orleans Picayune writes: very seedy-
looking and disheveled tramp rolled an
empty beer barrel along Thirty eighth
street trying to sell it. 81 want
the money to buy bread with, -
he whined. To q policeman he de-
clared that hunger alone had impelled
him to steal the barrel. He was ar
raigned at Jefferson Market and re-
manded. The name he gave was William
Kettles. A few years ago "Billy'' Ket-
ties was advance agent for the McCaull
opera company. He was by all odds one
OF the most dashing men in his line. He
married a charming girl and bought
house in Fifteenth street. At the height
of his prosperity his father died and left
him 500, 900. He gave up the theatrical
business to experiment with flyers in
Wall street and bet on flyers at the
race course. It took him about two
years to throw away everything he had
and then he took TO drinking so heavily
that his wife left him. Last fall he was
stricken with paralysis and a place was
found for him in the charity hospital.
Since his discharge short time ago he
has spent every cent he could get hold of
on whisky. He Is to-day literally a
vagrant tramp, and only thirty-two
years oldi

A Tariff Poem
Kingman (Kan.) Democrat.

hluRLuau khdu.J DeIuOCEdGs
He sat at his door at MONDAY, lonely
and gloomy and sad, broodIng over the
price OF his corn crop. and figuring how
much he had. He had worked from
early springtime, early and late and
hard, and he was counting his assets and
figuring out his reward. He figured that
it took two acres to buy his two boys new
boots, and ten acres more on top of this
to fit them out with new suits. To buy
his wife protected dress took 100 bush
els more, while five acres went in a solid
lump for the carpets on the floor.
His tax and his grocery bill
absorbed his crop of oats,
while the interest on his farm mortgage
took all his fattened shoates. The shin
giles on his cowshed and the lumber for
his barn had eaten up his beef steers and
the balance of his corn. So he sat in his
door at MONDAY lonely and gloomy and
sore, as he figured up his wealth q little
less than it was the year before. "By
gum, they say I'm protected, but
know there's something wrong; I've
