Who We're the Basques?

The dialect of the Spanish Basque
nrovinces, such as we have it III the
songs and proverbs which have acquired
for this people quite European reputa..
ton. is really hideous mixture OF
Spanish patois-Spanish, more or less
adulterated with French-and Moorish
or Arabic. Many of their words have o
curious resemblance to corresponding
English words-just as we find Ill our
English slang good many gypsy
words. For instance, tho Basque word
CORY (Which signifies red, rusty, bloody
Sory). the word gcno gown, escura
(school), Trina (farina, hour), curritzen
(course, courrier), du (does, from the
verb to do), letra (letter), tellature
(roof, tile), cantua (song, canticie)'
boina (bonnet), etc.
The music of the popular Basque
songs is in general plaintive and couch
cd in the minor keys. The melodies,
like the language, are a tradltion-as
no composers names have come down
TO us-and this, again, is a singular
compound Of Spanish and orientai mel
odv. 1t also confirms my view OF the
origin of this interesting people, SO tha'

quented city. In fact, it is as famous
almost as Duluth was made by the cele-
brated speech of Proctor Knott in the
congress OF the United States some
years ago. Before the election it was,
possibly, not so well known as the town
or Opelonsas. This place is known to
all we'll Informed readers OF the earlier
history OF Louisiana as one of the three
oldest towns i'll the State But Canton
on-the Nimshilen has very suddenly
emerged from its ohscurity III history to
North American Mecca, where not the
rellgInnlsts are accustomed to resort,
but whittier the patriots flock to tender
tHelr services Ton the salvation of our
great country. Louisiana has her rep
resentatlVes at the altar, who although
frequently called home Just as tit-
quently Return to enheart the presidents
elect IN his efforts to repair lie impaired
machinery OF the government. 1t may
he very KIND aud oppnrtunt in them to

doubt they believe their official services
may greatly facilitate the PRESIDENT

lated to advance the best interests o.
the country.
Every day or two We see Journals AN
nounclns the visits of Wiinhe!iy to Can

from which 1t appears that the PATRIOTS

From the frequency of the visits to the

the late campaign believe he requires

scrambllDg for executive tavorS has an
appearance of indecency, to say the
least. Such exhibitions have been COIN
mon ever since the administration of

warrant us in the hope that our eXecu

predecessors in matters of federal APP
