The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1897-01-01

An indication, to Harper's Weekly,
Of the growth Of British interest in
American affairs appears in the recent
contracts made by the Manchester
Guardian, the Edinburgh Scotsman,
The Glasgow Herald, the Dundee Adj
vertiser, and other leading provincial
newspapers, with one of the American
press associations for a daily service
of American news by cable. The day
may come-if, indeed, it has not come
already-when the American who
travels in England may learn as much
from the newspaper of the country
about happenings in America as the
Britisher who travels here can learn
from our journals about affairs in
Europe.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Harry Lander tells in a recent mag
hzine a story OF a"Failure Club, IRON
which every member was elected when
he succeeded ia life. It 10 interesting
to remember that there was once a
real Failure Club in Paris, and that
every member Of it subsequently sue
seeded The name of the society was
'Club des Auteurs STILES, and the
members of it used to dine together
at a restaurant once a week, and dis
suss the advisability Of retiring from
literature and doyoting their energies
10 commercial enterprise instead
Those members were Edmondo de
Goncourt, Gustave Flaubert, Tour
geniefl, Alphonso Daudot and Emile
lola.

Indian Sign language

In describing an object the Indian
has the most wonderful faculty OF
picking out its most distinguished
characteristic nj once, says a writer IN
The Chatauquan. l have repeatedly
seen Indians come into a military post
to see the officers Without knowing the
particular officers name, and without
being able to pronounce 1t intelligihly
II it were known, l have never seen an
instance where, by few signs, the In
dian has not been at once directed to
the person whom he wishes to see. A
stout officer viii be described beyond
the possibility Of doubt when the In
dian half circles his extended hands
over the region OF his stomach II the
officer wears glasses the Indian will
look through the two circles made by
his thumbs and first fingers; If the Of
hcer is bald, the Indian will raise his
own long tresses in one hand and draw
the fOreinger Of his other hand across
the top Of his head as though he were
going Through the pleasant operation
Of lifting a scalp An officer who va
ried the monotony of frontier life by
very steady and hard drinking l at
once saw an Indian describe by point
ing to the head and then waving his
hand in small circles. There was no
mlstaking the sign-the Indian wanted
the officer whose brain was in a whirl
And although utterly devoid Of a sense
of humor, the Indian is always laugh
ingly good natured in thus pointing out
any ones distinguishing characters
ties or eccentricity.
The expression Of words by means
Of the sign language may be divided
into THE following classes: Initiating
actions or attributes; pointing to OBJ
iects; representing shapes sizes, uses,
or habits; Stimulating emotions; en-
ploying metaphors consistent with In
dian conception, and making empirical
signs, although if the development of
signs of this last class could be traced
back am sure they would resolve
themselves into some one of the other
class.
