But 1t Doesn't Look Like 1t.
English costers have language of
their own. There is nothing very re-
markable about it, its chief character
iStic being a palpable kind of back
spelling, says Tit-Bits:
Pn money matters a coster will speak
of halfpenny as a ''fatch,'' while
''gen" is u shilling; but ''teaich-guy''
is eight shillings. ''Couter" means a
sovereign, ''net+gen" passes for half a
sovereign, half a crown being given the
somewhat unpronounceable term,
~1hatchynorl1."
A curious method of expressing multi
pies is shown by ''erth-ewif-gens,'' .
meaning Is shillings. "a doogheno''
means "a good MARKET" ''dabheno," a
bad one. "a regular trosseno' stands
for "a regular bad one.'
Eyes" and mo- are represented by
''no" and *say." ''Tumble to your bar
rikin" expresses understand YOU"
= 'fFlash it" signifies ''show it, s'Cross
chap" means a thief. '<ShowfuIs" is an
equivalent for bad money.

term, the derivation of which is not

Before 1888 Spain was one of the

there were actually SO rebellions,

the scale of nations, and now ranks as
little more than third-rate power. A

Letter From tho Dead.

PHILADELPHIA, March 26-Since the
failure Of the Guarantors' Company, the
death of Cashier Hopkins, and the clos.
ing OF the Peoples Bank, rumor, with itf
many tongues, has spread abroad many
stories. Some of these stories have
wrQng the heart-strings OF four women,
for they assailed the name and good
fame OF loving. kindly husband and
father. Mrs. Hopkins bitterly esents
doubts which are cast on her husband .
honor, and when she was sought this
morning and asked ii she could throw
any light on the tragedy and the events
which led up to it. she was vehemently
eagerly ready to defend the dead man.
The message of Mr.. Hopkins to his
wife and daughters was a letter which
Mrs. Hopkins found after hi death.
This letter is the dead mans appeal for
pity and mercy, and shows his character
as in glass. The letter was rs follows:
"My dear, devoted, loving wife and
daughters; For months l have been on
the verge OF insanity from trouble at the
Bank After NY first sleep OF exhaus-
tion have fought the balance of the
night through praying to God to get me
out of my trouble, but it was of no avail

Guarantors-Loper Co., have some
securities of the Bank and could
not get them back, and then from
that ] had to loan them money to
keep them ahoat, and my hand was in
the lions mouth and could not get it
out. The only thing that has kept me
alive was the hope that the tide would
turn with them and could get the Sc
curities back, but now see it can never
be, and cannot bear this pressure on
my brain any longer. say to you this
and swear it before Almighty God uevcr,

desperate, and they spare none"
In later report Colonel Darlington
said: ~. "
'.The scene Of action told its own
story. The road on the little ridge where
the final stand took place was strewn
with arrows, arrow-heads, and scalp
poles. The battle field shows that the
command was suddenly overwhel ned,
surrounded, and cut off, Not all officer
or man survived.
"Nearly all the bodies were heaped
near four rocks, inclosing a space about
six feet square, this having been the last
refuge for defence. Fetterman and Brown
had each pistol shot in the left temple.
l am convinced that they fell by each
others hand rather than undergo the
slow torture inflicted upon others.
"The mutlatons were terrible; some
Of them were as follows: Eyes torn ont
and laid on the rocks, noses cut uf,
brains taken out and placed on the rocks,
ears cut off, entrails taken OUT and ex-
posed, hands cut of, eyes, ears, mouth
and arms penetrated with spearheads,
sticks, and arrows; punctnres on every
sensitive part OF the body, even to the
soles of the feet and the palms Of the
hands.
'In the body of one of the civilians
were l05 arrows. In the opinion of our
post surgeon large number Of the men
were wounded and slowly tortured to
death by mutilation.'
The place where the massacre occurred
s about twenty miles south Of Sheridan,
and is known as Massacre Hill.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR.'

A delegation Of preachers from Chi

coin to urge the issuance Of the emanci-
patton proclamation. The spokesman
urged the claim with ecclesiastical dig
nifty by saying, 1.-THE Lord sends this
commission to you, President Lincoln. p"
"Perhaps SO" he replied, "but isn't
it strange that be should send his mes
sage by way of Chicago?"
To another delegation urging imme-
diate action he said, "lf you call tho
tail Of a sheep o leg, how many legs
will the sheep have?'
Five" replied the spokesman.
"No," said the bothered president.
ut would have only four. Calling the
tail leg wouldn't make it one"

told the doctor he was "glad that now
he had something to give which the

Perhaps few experiences Of life are
harder to bear than when an appeal to
another. out Of tho fullness of ones
heart is received with an utter lack Of
sympathy. Such situation il portrayed
by tho biographer of the Rev. s. G.
Malan.
A dishonest gardener had received no.
tice of discharge, and after al unsuc-
cessful attempt to vindicate his charac-
ter by plausible platitudes said mourn-
fully to the vicar:
"Ah, sir, you will miss me before !

Malan cheerfully, "if don't miss any

Lament of q Lonely Editor.


TO Lincoln, when the fare was low,
The editaircs did daily go.
Their hard earned salaries to blow
And to cummune right happily.
I'd like to Join their mild carouso
And seek their lofty bulging brows,
But who would milk my foaming COWS
If should slope so jauntily1
Fain would fire my ink and pens
And leave as others left their dens,
But who would herd my snorting hens
The while monkeyed merrilyY
Gladly I'd don my Sunday toys
And northward drive my span Of dogs,
But who'd pack slop to feed my hogs
II should skip SO airily?
Few, few can do the things they wish.
Some saw the wood. while others fish;
Some eat the goose, some lick the dish.
And so the world goes drearily.

The wheelmcn are Of the opinion that
the commissioners are endcavOling to
force them into the macadanized road
idea and have them contribute to its
construction. This the bicycers abso.
lutcly refuse to do, claiming that the cost
of building would be too great in the
first place, and that it would require
quite sum expended annually to keep
the road in repair owing to the small
tires used on wagon wheels in this local
ity constantly cutting into the surface of
the road. The objection advanced that
in order to construct path as proposed
by the wheclmen, between the fence and
road ditch, the consent of the property
holders along the route would have to be
obtained, owing to the fact that they
controlled four feet from the fence line,
