All OF this goes TO show that the In
ventive Yankee is in evidence linguis-
tically as we'll as otherwise. We pass
by such substitutes for profanity as
Gosh all firelocks," by Crickety,"
Dad gum, "Dern my time" and even
the favorte of Ex-Governor Hogg of
Texas, by gatlings," and other
phrases supposed to relieve the feel
ings. We will admit their superiority
over the Englishman's Blooming" and
"Blarsted," but even at that they fail
to fiji a long-felt want
While not upholding Indulgence in
profanity, we can not help feeling
that the motive impelling one to re-
sort to the so-called mild eXpletives is
the same as that which permits the
use Of much stronger expressions, The
selection is largely a matter of taste
and training Whether the satisfac-
lion to be derived from the methods is
the same is a matter of opinion.
The American language is partcu-
laly rich in eXpletives. Where the
Trenchman contents himself with his
"sacre' and his Mon Dieu, the Span
lard with his kissing 'caramba,' the
German with his "Gott und IImmel," +"

make our choice That this collection

GOOD FOR The GIRLS.

Cheer up. girls. There is hope for
every one Of you in the census figures
lately made public. 1t is fact that
there are in the forty-fve States of the
Union, without taking the Territories
into consideration, 1851 1888 more
bachelors than spinsters. 1t is also a
fact that If every one of these bachelors
should suddenly conclude to get mar
ried, they would have to wed every
teen years Of age. and still there
would not be enough to go around,
Early bulletins from Massachusetts
and other New England settlements
seemed to indicate that there was an
appalling majority Of girls, old
maids and widows out working for
husbands without much prospect Of
finding them. All this is changed by
the returns from the back districts, and
now the sunshine is all on the side Of
the girls. All they have to do is TO
turn the searchlight on the bachelors
and make a selection. They don't
have to take the first that comes along.

One thing, however stands ont boti-

east must take the advice of the late
Horace Greeley, and go west. The

the mountains of Montana. Wyoming,
Colorado and Arizona, and in the
wheat fields of Washington. Oregon and
California. For instance, California
has 39,504 bachelors, and only IS, 10
spinsters. Idaho is a most attractive
field for matrimony. The single mon
