The Probable origin of "IIeilo."

A linguist says that hello" is almost
y new word, us it differs in form. sound
and use from the old word ''halloo" II
is merely mentioned by Webster, and
the searcher for information is referred
to "halloo," which is defined as an In
terjection, q loud call or the noise of
the hunt. The forms there given
'.hslloa' and ''halloo"--are not well
adapted TO the American tongue,
neither are they susceptible to tho
variety Of expression that can be given
to hello" Probably the word halloo
grew out Of the call hail, ohy' which
was almost universally usedtb way.

The Black Maria.

During old colonial days Maria Lee,
negress, kept sailors boarding
house in Boston. She was woman OF
gigantic size and prodigious strength
and was Of great assistance to the au-
thorities in keeping the peace, as the
entire lawless element of that locality
stood in awe Of her. Whenever an un.
usually troublesome person was to be
taken to the station-house, the services
of Black Maria, as she was called
were likcly to be required. 1t is said
that she took at one time, and without
assistance, three riotous sailors to the
lookup. So frequently was her help
required, that the expression. "Send
for Black Maria.' came to mean:
"rake the disorderly person to jail"
1t is easy to see how the name became
fxed to the means OF transportation.-.
