THE USE OF SLANG.

A professor Of a Chicago uni
versisity recently startled his
young lady students by expressing
his opinion that the use OF slang
by woman is nearly as bad as
profanity in man. 1t is a matter
Of cOngratulation that this learned
gentleman has taken the initiative
in denouncing a habit that takes
the bloom off of woman's refine
ment. The free and habitual use
Of slang by woman is distinct
sign Of decadence. OF course there
are many good women who oc-
casionally lapse into the use of an
occasional slang phrase and lose
nothing Of their charm, but when
such use degenerates into a habit
it is bound to lessen our reverence
aud esteem for the woman guilty
Of it. The habit is almost as OBJ
jectionable as chewing gum or
candy in place of public amuse-
ment. Young ladies do not seem
to be aware Of the extent to which
the inordinate use Of slang detracts
from their refining influence. All
men are benefited by ASSOC
citation with woman, but that
benefit is seriously impaired when
the woman INDUCES iu language
that savOrs Of a reckless disregard
Of conventionality Here are a few
select phrases which tho writer
overheard young girl enunciate
not long ago in voice that was
easily heard at distance of ten
feet:
"The performance was bum."
"He handed me II bunch Of hot
air."
"He is one Of those wise guys
"He tried to get gay with me
but gave him the frozen mitt.'
"She is inclined to be flip"
The above are only a few choice
phrases that Illuminated dialogue
that fairly cOruscated with slang
expressions. Can anyone doubt
that the young men to whom this
sort Of persifage was directed left
the interview with his sense Of
respect for the young lady slightly

Money saved is as good a


Money saved is as good as
money made. Money can be
saved now by gathering up
the farm implements and putting
them under shelter. They need
protection rs much as cows,
horses. or hogs. Exposed wood
work will rot, or swell and shrink
alternately until every joint
becomes loose and the first heavy
strain will produce o smashup.
The iron or steel will rust and
roughen, increasing the draft and
decreasing the efficiency of the
work done. A machine well cared
for will not only last twice as long
- one exposed to the weather,
but will do more work with less
power in the same length of time.
The wood. work should have a
coat Of linseed oil, and the iron
should be cleaned and creased.
Linseed oil or any oil without salt,
even Beaumont crude oil will
answer. Well cared for tools will
be good until actually worn out.

During the past fiscal year 1861
soldiers deserted from the U. 8.
army. This is the equivalent OF
Ave full regiments, or nearly two
brigadss. These datards will all
turn up on the pension rolls just
as soon as they can see their con.
gresham, and the congressman
can get their private pension bills
through. All that 10 necessary is
for each congressman to secure the
names Of all the deserters in bis

it will pass by a unanimous vote

erred at the last term of court in his
appointment of Capt. Frank John
ston to serve instead of Judge Pow
ell, Capt. Johnston being appointed
for the second district instead of the
first district, and the indictments re-
turned during his sitting on the
bench we're therefore illegal.
Judge Powell has the melton under

abeut to secure new indictments,

former inquiry have forgotten all in
eliminating evidence they ever
knew, and thus far no hsadway has
been made by the grand jury. Some
Of the club members decline to testify
on the ground that they would there
by incriminate themselves, and ii
seems that the jury is rendered prac-
tically helpless.
The matter is of vital Importance
fer if the club indictments fail tc
stick it is certainty that the indict-
ments against ex-State Treasurer
i Showers and his associates in the al

much doubt exists as to whether tn
