SLANG AND ITS DERIvATloNs.
Facts Relating to the Origin of Certain
Words and Phrases.

Facts Relating to the Origin of Certain
Words and Phrases.
Within the present century (proba
bly, a good many Hebrew words have
come into English slang through the
medium of 'Yiddish," e. g., showful,
dow Hebrew, ''shapher'; ''gonoph," q
thief, (Hebrew, ''gannabh," pronounced
''gonnof'' by Polish Jews; Mr.. Leland
writes incorrectly" ganef.'') The greater
part says the Anthenaeum, of the
vocabulary Of slang, however, is purely
of English origin, consisting of humor-
ously-metaphorical uses Of ordinary
words, the metaphor being often SO
far-fetched as to be of the nature of a
riddle. Slang words of this type have
often passed into standard use; the Or
binary French words for ''head."
Check" '1eg," for instance, represent
the vulgar Latin words for pot" ''por-
ringer" and "knee-cap."
OF course, a humorous metaphorical
expression may acquire considerable
degree Of proverbial currency without
thereby becoming slang. 1t passes in
to slang when the original point of tho
joke is no longer distinctly remem-
bered and the expression continues to
be used merely as an eccentric substi-
tute for the recognized term. At a
later stage sometimes the word or
phrase has become SO general that all
it's grotesque associations have disnp
peared, and it becomes a permanent
addition to the resources of the literary
language. A good example of these
three stages of development may be
found in the history of the word "budg-
et," as denotinS the financial propos-
ais of the chancellor of the exchequer.
In the reign of George II. the word was
used with conscious allusion to the cele-
brated pamphlet which ridiculed Sir R.
Walpole as a conjurer, opening his
budget" or "bag of tricks" After
ward it must, for time, have been cur
rent as slang; but, as it supplied a want,
it was soon taken into the ordinary vo-
cabulary, and at the present time a
chancellor of the exchequer would, as
matter of course, speak of his own
budget" without any thought of the I'M
complimentary sense which the word
originally expr essed.

SECRETARY FOSTER has announced his
intention of calling in the government
deposits in national banks, except about
ST., O0O, 900, which is, of course, to be
left where it will be of the most benefit
to the republican party. Nothing that
he can do will, however, be surprising
after his audacity in putting 500, 1000,
900 of the gold reserve redemption fund
and the fractional silver on hand, which
is by law only legal tender in sums OF
ten dollars and under, on the treasury
statement as available cash to meet the
current demands on the treasury.

THE "LOW WEED"
"A Source of Great Trouble to Colorado
HOrsemen.

A Source of Great Trouble to Colorado
HOrsemen.
One of the greatest nuisances that
horsc-breeders have to contend against
in Colorado, says a writer in the ST.
Louis ObcDcmocrat, is n little insig-
niti2ant weed known as the low weed.
1t is not two inches high, and runs
along the ground for several feet from
the roots. All animals eat it, for the
most part with impunity, but if horse
eats any quantity of it his value Is de-
stroycd 1t does not seem to affect his
bodily health at all, as an animal that
gets a heavy dose of the weed will
live for years in excellent physical con-
ditiOn, but its effects are felt on the
brain. Within week or two the horses
nature seems to change, he becomes
foolish. and in short time is hopelessly
insane. The effect is very much like
that which eating toadstools has on
men. but it is permanent and an ami
NAL that has once been Flowed" never
RECEIVERS. A horse thus afflicted is as
strong and can run as fast as ever, but
no one can tell what he will do. He
may stampede at the sight of a load of
hay, may bnlk at any moment, and is
likely to become frightened at the most
ordinary objects. The most marked eff
feet is that in the carriage. A horse
rendered insane by the low weed is
afraid of pretty much everything. It
seems impossible to eradicate this weed,
and the losses to Colorado stockmen
through it foot up tens of thousands of
dollars annually.

LINCOLN AS A LAWYER.
How lie skinned" a Pension Agent for a
Poor Old Widow.

How lie Skinned" a Pension Agent for q
Poor Old Widow.
AS a lawyer Abraham Lincoln used
to say that the best way to gain just
case was to free it from legal technical
tiles and get it properly swung to the
jury" In his Life of Lincoln" Mr..
lIerndon tells story to illustrate what
his former law partner meant by that
peculiar phrase. A certain pension
agent had recovered for the widow of a
revolutionary soldier the sum of four
hundred dollars due and unpaid to her
husband at his death, and had retained
onc-hnlf of the amount for his fee. The
claimant, a crippled old woman, hob
blcd into the Office and told her story
1t stirred Lincoln up, he brought suit
against the agent, and on the day of the
trial he said:
Il am going to skin Wright and get
that money back He did SO. When
the case came up Lincoln put the white
haired claimant on the stand and she
told her story to the jury. When it was
ended Lincoln drew picture of the
hardships of Valley Forge, describing
the soldiers as creeping barefooted over
the ice and marking their tracks With
their bleeding feet. Then he contrasted
the hardships endured for their country
with the hardened action of the agent
in fleeing the old woman of one-half
of her pension. He was merciless; the
members of the jury were in tears, and
the agent with" il his seat under the
castigation of Lincoln's denunciation.
The jury returned verdict in her favor
for the full amount and Lincoln made
no charge for his services.

A CARD 10 THE PUBLIC.

Some six months ago we began the publica-
ton of our reprint of the famous Encyclo
padia Britannica in IS volumes, which we is
sued at $3.50 per Uolume. The price Of the
English edition always has been and still ID
$500 per volume, and the Scribner edition
$500 per volume in the cheapest binding.
That the public appreciate 80 great a bar
gain Is shown by the fact that over half q
million golWmeS of this reprint have been sold
in less than six months.
This elegant new edition we still offer at
the same price $l.50 per Uolttame. This ia the
greatest bargain eyer Enoscn in books.
Better still, we will deliver the set complete
on small payments, to suit the convenience OF
customers.
Remember this is not All Infringement, but
the great Edinburg ninth edition, reproduced
page for page, with important articles on
American subjects rewritten to date by EN-
inent American authors, and new maps, later
and better than in any other edition.
SPECIAL OFFERING claim that our reprint
compares faEerably with the high priced in
every respect, aud in respect to maps, and
strength and beauty of bindings ia superior to
them. In order that this claim may be tested
by a personal inspection We make the follow.
ing proposition: We will furnish volume /.
at 60 cts.-a fraction of actual cost-ifs sent by
express. Add 40 cts. postage if wanted by
mail. Amount paid for Volume /. will be

The Farce of sTurfes.
Baton Rouge Advocate.

The lesson of the New Orleans tragedy
ought not to be lost. 1t is well enough to
check assassination by bloody methods when
there is no other recourse, but it is q terrible
alternative. It must be borne in mind that
behind the failure of the law to convict those
whom the public mind held, with good rea.
son, TO be guilty, there is a faulty system that
allows nine ont of ten criminals to escape ade-
quate punishment or to go scot free. There
arc technicalities of the law that impede the
course of justice. and tests are applied in the
selection of juries that make trials too often
little better than a farce, and throw a shield
OF ignorance or yenality around the murderer
or assassin who has friends or money. The
jury system is a relic of another civilization,
well enough in its day, but the world has out
grown it in its old shape. The entire admins
tration of justice depends on the jury, and
those who are trained in the law. though
nominally sitting in judgment, are little better
than fgure-heads, while twelve men, selected
by rules that require ignorance as q test of
fitness, decide in their own way the issue of
law, life and liberty. Until our jury system
is entirely remodeled there can be no certain.
ty of punishment for crime, and mol law will
| prevail. We are entirely outside the pale of
common sense in the selection of juries. which
should be intelligent. just and honest, and to
secure this end their selection should depend
on other tests than those which are now ap-
piled. In fact, thea acceptance should be left
largely TO the discretion ana WISDOM OF the
presiding Judge, after full examination Of 1T
ness in the presence of the court by opposing
counsel, or some other similar test should be
applied. AS it is, We are stumbling in the
dark. cropping in a wrong direction, and bring
ing the law into disrepute, making justice a
mockery and putting o double premium on
crime by acquittals that invite counter-vio-
lence in outbreaks of mob law, to vindioate
what the courts have failed to punish. Stat.
istics show how general this result has been.
In 1890, there were in the United States 800
homicides and murders. for which there were
SO legal executions. This is the official re.
port, and represents accurately the proper
ton Of murderers in this country who paid the
extreme penalty of the law for their crimes.
But the record shows, by a partial list. that
there were during the same year l26 lynch
ings IN the United States, or 25 per cent more
instances of lawless punishment for crime
than was inflicted By the courts.
