THE PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH.
Some Reflections Upon the Steady
Growth of the Language.
Easton, Pa, Express.

Last week Pennsylvania Dutch Lit
erary Society was organized at Mauch
Chunk by prominent citizens of that place.
This is literary society of new kind.
Everything was done in the Pennsylvania
Gernan-or Dutch, as they insist upon it
up there-language. Naturally there was
a strong infusion of English, in sentences
of parliamentary phraseology. For in
stance, motion to appoint the committee
on bylaws was made and disposed of SUBJ
stantially in this form, as given by the
Mauch Chunk Democrat:
MIR. President. ich move form commit
tee appointa for constitution un bylaws
prepare un reporta on der naighsht meet
ing.'
"Ich second de notion" came from an
other voice.
Then, by the president-sEs is gamoved
nm g'second n committee tzu appointa for
n constitution un bylaws prepare un re-
porta on der naighsht meeting. Is de So
ciety ready for de froke? Ali os in favor
sin fur der motion sawg yaw" All re-
spending in the affirmative, the presiden,
announced the result: de majority
sawga yaw, I'm de motion is g'dopt.
But the Pennsylvania German is not the
only language that borrows largely. When
a new word is needed in English we go to
the Latin and Greek. if We can't get it
nearer. such new wOTus as telegraph, tele-
phone and monograph are common exam
pies. The French, Spanish and Italians get
their new words from the same source. In
the earlier days the English language did
nothing but borrow. 1t is the greatest bor-
rowing language the world ever knew.
The derivations given in the dictionaries
show that the English language has little
it may call its own.
The truth is, scholars are Just finding out
what the Pennsylvania German Language
is, and they are studying it. The Language
is only a century old, and because il is vet
growing it teaches laws of language that
could not be otherwise obtained. DIR.
Mann, the eminent German scholar and
theologian, who has made the Pennsyl-
vania German q special study, says it is
the linguistic wonder of the age, and prac-
tically-which means brevity and ease in
speaking-the best language ever used by
man.

on street grades for which the city is sup
posed to be responsible. A good deal OF
extravsgant street grading was done last
fall and winter, for which the property
owners do not feel called upon to pay hur-
riediy. As the consolidated city to GER
tain extent becomes responsible for this
Indebtedness of the old towns, amounting
to Sis. 900, which Indebtedness is beyond
the limit allowed by law for municipali-
ties, some trouble may be experienced in
bonding the same, unless some Of the de-
inquents wipe out their obligations. At
the present time the city is drawing war
rants beyond the limit allowed by law,
$1,000 of which warrants were issued at
one sitting few days since. The lack of
harmony between the mayor and the
councilmen aggravates the case. and the
dissatisfaction of the people will result in
. vote against bonds of any kind until
affairs assume q more favorable aspect.
