POPULAR EXPRESSIONS.

Origin of Slang Words and Phrases Now
In General Uso.
"Dun" is word now whose h.eaning
Is known to every one who understands
the English language. About the be-
ginning Of the century q constable in
England named John Dun became cel-
sbrated as tirst-class collector of bad
accounts. When others would fail to
collect bad debt Dun would be sure to
get it ont Of the debtor. It soon passed
into q current phrase that when per-
son owed money and did not pay when
asked he would have to be "Dunned."
Hence it soon became common in such
cases to say: "You will have to dun
So-and-so il you wish to collect your
money"
Until the nomination Of Franklin
Pierce for the Presidency tho word
''outsider" was unknown. The commit
tee on credentials came in to make its re-
port and could not get into the hall be-
cause of the crowd of people who were
not members of the convention. The
chairman of the convention asked ii
the committee was ready to report and
the chairman of the committee an.
swered: Eyes, Mr.. Chairman, but the
committee is unable to get inside on
account of the crowd and pressure OF
the outsiders. The newspaper re-
porters took up the word and used it.
"You are daisy is used by Dickens
in David Coppertield" in the sense Of
calling a person daisy in + way to ex
press admiration and at the same time
to laugh at ones credulity. Steerfortb
says to young Copperheld: "David, my
daisy, you are so innocent Of the world.
Let me call yop my daisy, as it is so re.
freshing to find one in these corrupt
DAYS SO innocent and unsophisticated.
My dear Coppertield, the daisies of the
field are not fresher than you."
'Too thin" was given currency by
Hon. Alexander II. Stephens, of Geor.
gia, in the United States Senate in
1870. Some member had made reply
to Mr.. Stephens, and the latter had his
chair wheeled out in the aisle and said
in that shrill, piping voice, which al
ways commanded silence: mir. Speak.

The Revolution in Type-Setting,

The ingenuity of the inventor has been
taxed for more than quarter Of century
to produce an automatic typs-setter Many
have been Invented and tried, but all have
failed to equal the accuracy OF handwork
until within the lsst few months. Now,
the automatic type ,atter is here, and it is
here to stsy. 1t hes reached degree OF
practical utility, alike in speed, economy
and accuracy, that assures its prompt
introduction into ell the leading Journ
ala OF the country. Indeed it is safe
to cay that the year 1890 will witness the
general use of tho automatic tyre setter IN
all the daily newspapers OF this city, ana,
of course 10 oosl OF She dulles OF the
country.

will cease to be .ype-1etters beyond dis
played matter, rulo-5n9igur work, etc,
and there will be another distinct Wecban!-

trade there will be the always Inevitable

have attained skill In the art of printing

mechanical efficiency -,2ill be wanted and

Il is true that the doctrine OF 'life In

matter of future punishment, But it does
not conflict with the eternity Of Punishnent.
