Giving Currency to a Line.

A successful man of letters can give TO a
line or phrase more currency by quoting
it in single article than it has enjoyed,
perhaps, in centuries of it's existence be-
fore. In the best work the wisdom or
beauty OF sentiment actually suffers
sometimes from the wealth by which it is
surrounded. Where the general level Is
very high, there are few saliencies, and
an expression that would attract attention
by its very loneliness in an inferior writer
may pass. IN an excellent. Yet,
once severed from its context, its special
merit is Immediately apparent, and it
passes from lip to lip and pen to pen.
1t may sometimes happen, too, that to
be much quoted means to be little read.
Campbell is responsible for many of our
most familiar phrases-for instance,
Distance lends enchantment to the
view," Angel visits, few and far be-
tWeen," and Coming events cast their
shadows before'-yet how many people
now read either ''The Pleasures of Hope''
or Gertrude of Wyoming"? The ver-
dict Of our own time has gone in favor of
his great martial odes-of "The Battle of
the Baltic" of "Ye g Mariners of England
of 'Hohenlinden," and of "The Soldiers
Dream"-but OF these only. The fact of
his furnishing US with lines to quote is
witness to that patient industry in polish
ing by which he repaired his real defect
OF striking original power.-Temple Bar.

Chanler,s African Expedition.

The results of the African expedition
from which William Astor Chanler has
returned will accrue to the general stock
OF public knowledge of the Dark Cont
nent. He agreed to divide all geograph-
ical and scientific data and collections he
has obtained between the Smithsonian
Institution, Washington, and the Inn
perial Museum, Vienna. He also bound
himself to place all maps at the disposal
of the British East Indian Company.
William Astor Chanler, youngest of all
explorers, is only 2S years old, and was
graduated from Harvard seven years ago.
lie is the son of the late John Winthrop
Jhanier and great-grandson OF the late
John Jacob Astor, from whom he in
herited large fortune. He is mem Der
OF many New York clubs and many for
eign societies. This is his second expedi-
ton into Africa. In 1889 he made big
game-shooting trip into Masiland, and
was the first white man TO go completely
round Mt. Kilima- Marc.

In nspeaking of the matter of his failure
to report the Breckenridge marriage to
the Bureau of Vital Statistics, DR.. Paxton
said:
II had begun to believe that when I
came back here people were going to tar
and feather me simply because l married
Billy Breckenridge. and because kept
my word about keeping the marriage
day calling on me to pay fine of $40 for
my dereliction. | shall go down after a
while and pay it,
DR.. Paxton, however, failed to cali at
the bureau. 1t was said there that they
did not know what they would do with
him If he did not pay. Under the present
law the fine is $l00. and it is a misde-
meanor not TO register marriages. At
the time OF DR.. Paxton's offense, how
ever, the fine was only $10.-New York

The Spread of English.

The rapid spread of English is largely
to be attributed to the simplicity of its
grammar, which is less complicated than
that of any other Western nation. Its
marked poverty of infections, as distin-
guished, for example, from the German,
is great point In Its favor, and thus it is
much easier for a German to learn En-
glish than for an Englishman or an
American to learn German. On the
other hand, the extraordinary orthogra-
phic inconsistency of the language is a
decided drawback, and there is little
doubt that If English were written on
phonetic principles, as Spanish or Ger
man, its spread would be much more
rapid, to say nothing of the great boon
this would be to the Anglo-Saxons them
selves, who spend years of unnecessary
toll in learning TO read and write their
own language.
1t is not likely, however, that any
change will be made in this direction in
the near future, at least in England, for
the English as a nation are noted for
their conservative habits, and although
they recognize the great advantages OF q
phonetic system, are in no hurry to adopt
it. Any change in this respect must
probably be looked for to America,
where q few innovations have been
already introduced. Thus, the spelling
''vigor," ''favor." honor etc.. are
American lnnoVatlOns, as are also
''plow," traveller" center" "theater."
etc. Other more recent forms, as ''pro-
gram'' and .catalog" are already well es-
tablished in America, but have found
little favor in England.
English speakers may be divided into
four great branches as follows: l) The
European, ~ the American, ~ the South
American, and i4) the Australasian. Each
of these branches has its peculiarities,
and the divergence between the four is
becoming more marked every year. Of
the extra European branches, the Amer
iean. although the oldest, has diverged
least from the parent stem. II is sur
prising what q number of American
words have been introduced into Eng
land, many of which are now considered
Indigenous to the soil. A large proper
ton of the slang spoken by the middle
classes in England may also be said to be
| OF American origin. On the other hand,

Athens and ArobaeoIorv.

Athens has charms peculiar to itself.
which will soon be discovered, even by
the Western public, to excel the charms
of more distant cities, especially those of
Lower Egypt, of recent years so fashion,
able. As 10 climate, that of Cairo is now
being found treacherous and unhealthy,
whereas the exhilaration produced by
the air OF Athens more than counterbal-
ances the disadvantages Of its lower tenn
perature. Rain in Cairo-and it now oc-
ours about every ten days through the
winter-turns all the streets into stag
nant sewers, or else the cold winds and
constant dust give every body sore throats
and ITS of sneeZing; in fact, we found the
whole population grumbling, and grum-
bling justly, about the climate. But this
is beside the present question.
To the archeologist it is vain to seek
help or sympathy in his work from the
agreeable soldiers, the very agreeable
ladies, who. if they have any duty, steal
time with difficulty from their pleasures
to perform it. The few able and hard
working officials who are reforming the
administration of the country are too
busy to be seen. Fair widows or quasi
widows, endeavoring to drown their
grief in gayety, young soldiers helping to
console them, have no interest in ancient
history. Local enthusiasts seem not to
exist.
How different is the case with Athensi
Cleaner streets, fresher air, better hotels

telligent society. make this city the very
paradise for a scholars holidays. Groups
of learned men-some of them of Euro
pean fame-are to be found at the five
archaeological schools. Numbers.of local
men possess learning and have an inter-
est in study. Numerous bookstalls in
the very thoroughfares remind one of the
hook trade of Edinburgh, and the kind OF
book exposed in the streets is still more
signifcant-works on philosophy, sci
epce. history-a very different catalogue
from that exhibited even by our railway
bookstalls which appeal to the richer
classes. Mahaffy in the Nine

Sensational Cases.

The settlement of the Sutherland will
case. which was supposed TO be rich in
promise of scandal, prompts the London
Times to refer editorially to memorial
that has just been addressed to the daily
London press by more than one hundred
mem bers of the House of Commons in
relation to the reporting of Sensational
cases. The list of names includes men Of
all parties. Among them are such men
as j. G.. Talbot, Sir John Dorington, Sir
Frederick Miner and Professor Jebb. as
we'll as Mr.. Charming. Thomas Ellis and
Samuel Smith. These gentlemen have
been moved to make their protest by the
long and detailed reports of leases in
volving immortality or brutality, and par
ticularly evidence appealing to mems
sensual nature" They remark that these
cannot fail to exercise demoralizing
effect upon vast mass OF young women
and young men, ever craving for ex-
element and the qualification of a men
tai appetite too often of an un-
healthy kind" They appeal, there
lore, to the conductors of newspapers to
exercise more severe discretion, and to
reduce the reports in question to what is
strictly necessary. Admitting that pub
llclty is in itself a strong deterrent, they
ask that 1t should be confined to the state
ment of leading facts. They ask that only
necessary details shall be given, and that
suggestive headlines and placards should
be avoided. I'm all this" says the Lon
don Times, I'VE agree with the memorial
lists, and are happy in being able to say
that what they recommend has been the
lnvariable practice of this journal. We
have always avoided for ourselves, and
greatly disliked in others, the practice of
verbatim reports of the evidence in di-
yorce cases and the like; for we have
felt. with the members of Parliament who
sign this memorial. that such dwelling
upon the details of viceis of itself an in
centive to weak natures, and must do
very great harm. We trust that the
memorial will accomplish its aim."

OUR FLAG.
BY EL1zA A1L1soN PARK.

Float wide our starry banner,
Her stripes spread to the world,
Glad greeting in her honor,
AS lold on fold unfurled-
She watches DER our gallant dead,
And floats above the living,
Fresh incense burn we at her shrine
Fresh glory always giving.
Since first her face in beauty
Shone DER The nations braves,
Interpreter of duty,
She freed the nations slaves;
And as her galaxy has grown,
The world records her story,
Each star jewel in her crown,
Each stripe beam of glory.
No sea-but somewhere Tapping,
Careening on the breeze
AT every seaport tapping
Our glorious banner sees
No port denied, no harbor barred
Against her magic presence,
Though sometimes old and scanned and
SCARED,
There foateth yet her essence.
That subtle, mighty ether
To which fair freedoms sons
Are born and reared and cherished,
Her God-g1ven, noble ones
To lift on high this star-lit sheet
And spread It's wOndrOus story,
Till earth shall greet with homage meet
Inc presence OF "Old Glory"
Sweet baby hands caressing
The red, the white, the blue,
Small flags, small hands. large blessing,
Since to the stock they're true;
No heart is lost no soul misplaced,
But ready for LIES story,
Oh, baby Stars and tiny Stripes,
Ye represent "Old Glory %
Oh, Sons! lift up your voices,
send cheer on luSty cheer,
America rejoices-
Holds thy possession dear;
And floating wide, from sea to sea,
No longer Wing or Tory
But one great Banner OF the Free,
Our matchless flag, ''Old Gloryp'
Ere yet sour Flag was foated,
When Liberty was born,
Sceptics and scoferS gloated
And boasted of their scorn;
To-day fair Honor's feast is spread
To-day earth's farthest nation
Has seen her face and heard her tread
And felt her lofty station.
Float on, forever float toward heaven,
High up amid the blue;
Bring safely down to earth the leaven
That makes men good and true.
So shall we prosper and grow great
The Giant of earth's story,
Who, reaching up TO heavens estate,
Brought down TO us ''OId Glory"
