Was Mr.. Adams Puzzled?

A story which is apropos of moth
ing is told at the expense of the wife
of the president of prominent West
ern railroad. 1t is to the effect that
when Charles Francis Adams was up
pointed to the presidency of tho Pa
cific Road he CHANGED to call upon
the lady in question, who was at the
time in Boston.
81 do not know just what l am to
do, Mrs. p" he said, in reference to
his new dignity. Sometimes it seems
to me that l am only sort offigure-
head for ornament rather than use. Z"
eyes," she assentcd, chat is ex-
actly what my husband was saying
yesterday"
And it was not until after Mr..
Adams had gone that the lady re-
fiected that it was just possible the
guest had not understood that her
husbands remark had reference only
to himself and not to Mr.. Adams.

The English Language the
Worlds Tongue.

The fact that English is the IAN
guage used by both the information
al conferences which recently assem-
bled in Washington, naturally leads
to some speculations concerning the
curious progress of the English to-
wards becoming the language OF the
future. The languagein which Shake
speare and Milton wrote was the Ian
guage of less than 5000, 900 people,
and when Washington was President
less than 100000 used the En-
glish language. At that time French
was spoken by from 10000, 900 to
100000. Half a century ago as
large proportion of the population
OF the globe spoke German as English.
Now Germany is far behind in this
respect. In Austria, Germany, Bel
GUM, Switzerland and the United
States German is spoken by about
10000 people. In France, Belgium,
Alsace- Lorraine, Hayti, Algiers, In
dia, the West Indies and Africa,
French is spoken by 100000. In
| the British Isles, the United States,
Canada, Australia, the West Indies,
India, India and other British colon
les English is freely spoken by 1OO,-
100000. These figures are very sig
nifcant.
The fact is that the enterprise ofthe
English people long ago led them to
explore this globe pretty thoroughly,
and to pick up whatever was worth
| having. 1t was not an action of the
| government, for the governments of
that day were too stupid to origin
ate any policy whatever. 1t was the
work of semi-commercial buccaneers,
whose discoveries and pretensions the
government had just sense enough
to sustain. Out Of this condition of
things has arisen the widely-scattered
extent of the British empire. But
this very condition of things paved
the way for the extension of the in
fiuence and language of Great Brit
ain. Wherever the English standard
was planted the English tongue was
spoken, SO that now all over the
world, more than in the case OF
Latin in the old Roman empire,
an Englishman can go around
the world and be understood,
speaking only his native tongue. 1t
is worthy of note that the latest tri-
umph ofthe English language should
have been due to American influences.
When the Samoan conference was
held at Berlin, the natural impulse
was to hold the discussions, as usu-
al, in French, which, time out OF
mind, has been the language ofdiplo-
macy. But on Misrepresentation OF
an American delegate, the confer
ences were held in English, and &c.
cordingly to America is due the first
surrender of diplomatic use to the
English language. In that case, the
marvel to the American diplomats
was that the other delegates under
stood and used the language SO well
The same thing has been observed in
regard to the knowledge of English
shown by the several members of the
Pan-American congress, and of the
International Maritime conference
These instances serve to show that
outside of the English-speaking ma
tions the knowledge of the English
tongue is very general.-Bostor
Traveller.

lMay-Day In South ella Valley.

According to the programme of
the young people in the South ella
Valley, the time honored custom of
MAJ Festat day was duly celebrated
by both young and old, in the grove
Of A. ]. Mitchell on the banks of the
ella. By actual count there were
three score present, counting one
that did not come: About every
family in the valley was duly re-
presented, and after the elmer
n" had been feasted by tie
tempting viands duly prepared for
the occasion, the balance Of the day
was spent in pleasant conservation
among the adults, and in plays by
junior part of the crowd, until the
sun in the west gave warning that
it was time to seek home and i
sterner duties. In the evening, of
course the young people must
swing partners and promenade all.
But the Mai fest was good particu-
larly in that it brought neighbors
together who had never met before,
and by an interchange Of experien7
ces in farming, no doubt the day
proved a profitable one to all.
The 4th Of July will be celebrated
by a grand gathering at Aqua
Caliente Springs; by the people on
both sides of the ella. There is to be
fourth of July Grafton delivered
there that day, the reading Of the

evening. The mai-fest dance was
celebrated at the house of Mr.. Wills.
