SLANG FROM THE SAILORS.

In the vast amount OF narrative
which has of late been read regarding
ships and the sea few persons have
stopped 20 think to what an extent the
English language has been enriched by
sea terms. For instance. in response to
the everyday query, How are you?"
many will answer, "First-rate, thanks"
The latter speaker has no idea that he
is perpetuating the remembrance of the
old line-of- battle ship first-rate. The
navy in past days had six rates" or
classes, of vessels. Sea proverbs are
also met in daily use. For example,

The Sea Side Gazette says Mr..
James E. Cook the Republican candi-
date for Freebooter was defeated on
Tuesday last by 25 votes. This fact
is already known to the readers of
the Gazette in this vicinity at least,
and it is also known by everyone
Just how this defeat was brought
about; not by fair means, but by the
circulation of one of the most con
temptible and dirty reports that was
ever conceived by human being.
This report was circulated at the poll
ing places of the First and Second
Districts late in the afternoon and
did not come to the knowledge of
Mr.. Cook until a couple OF hours
later, when it was at once proved to
be utterly false in every particular,
but it had had sufficient time to ae-
complish the result desired. 1t was a
dastardly way to accomplish defeat,
and everyone connected with it
should be ferreted out and made to
know that this was no way to bring
about a mans downfall
