PECULIAR EXPRESSIONS.
How People of Different NatiOnaIities
Designate the Objectionable

and ShOddy.
By Max O'ReL
As rule when a nation wants to bap-
tie an Objectionable thing she gives it
foreign name, to let you we'll under
stand that she herself never favored such
thing, and that if she has it now it
has been introduced by some id for
eigner. Some illustrations of this are
amusing.
The french word for speak 'parler''
the Spanish word "habler" A boaster,
however, is in French sun hableur, that
is man who speaks like a Spaniard;
But the Spanish are quits with US. To
boast is in Spanish "parlar."
What the Italians call the French dis
ease is by the French called the Neapoli-
tan disease. The goods which are called

same kind which the French and the
Germans call English article;" that is,

holy self righteous Pharisees Of England
speak Of French literature you must not
suppose that it means that the list Of
illustrious names whice has appeared
from Malherbe to Victor Hugo. No, no,
it means that Objectionable lot Of books

Some weeks ago a skull was dug up
near the Lansing penitentiary. Immed-
lately the scientific world began to esti-
mate the antiquity of The Lansing
Skull" some placing it at 10000 years
old and others at 100000. The follow
ing story puts the laugh on these esti-
mates:
Some 20 years ago a convict incarcer-
atsd for counterfeiting, when dying 10
the Kansas penitentiary begged that he
might be buried in an unmarked grave
outside Of the prison cemetery. His re-
quest was acceded to and his body was
placed IN an abandoned shaft near
Lansing-in the very spot, indeed, from
which the prehistoric skull was digged
a week OF two ago"
New York dug up the Cardiff Giant
and fooled the scientists. Kansas don't
propose to be out done, and dug Up the

MERIcAN MUSIC IN LONDON.

London Letter. New YORK Nail AID Express.
Although 1t was one Of the striking
features Of the occasion, little notice
seems to have been taken, on the
western side Of the Atlantic, Of the sur
prising amount OF American music
played by British bands along the route
Of the coronation procession.
Up and down st. james street and
PiccadiIly, from nine o'clock IN the
morning until long past two, different
regimental bands marched, playing
swinging airs, and kept boredom as far
as possible from the patient crowd and
set every foot tapping in time to the
martial strain.
OF the 80 or, perhaps, more different
tunes that heard that day, more than
half Of them were absolutely American.
and for the most part unknown to pOpu-
lar English audiences.
Quaint old Negro melodies, such as
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and 'Push
dem Clouds Away" absolutely caught
the fancy Of the throng, while "Way
Down Upon the Suwsnee Riyer," ''Dixie
Land" and Marching Through Georgia
were a few others Of the many old
southern songs played to while away the
time for the English crowd waiting for
the browning Of their king and emperor

vast plain of level country, that

water. There are miles and miles
square that has not depression or
ridge of 18 inches. In the center of
one of the large pastures, l noticed
bunch of cattle grazing, while in
the center of the pasture l saw q
large cistern or water tank. These
tanks are used to supply the cattle on
these ranches with water in the dry
season. The first large pastures are
passed after leaving Ulm. We saw
so much fence on either side of the
road that we wondered if all these
extensive pastures had wire all
around. If 80 the cost of wire is
something enormous. | had an idea
that when | saw the prairies and its
waving grass | would see at least one
drove of horses, but learn that the

of a hotol, "Arlington', a buss, a
barber shop and an ideal little depot.
Town probably of 1000 inhabitants.
1t now begins to look like getting
back into civilization. We have
passed several nice orchards; there
are farmers houses here and there
and they are painted; the plows are
running and are turning up soil that
looks as black as coal dust. 1t looks
richer than a sack of guano. No
wonder crops grow in the West with
out fertilizer. We understand that
even stable and barnyard manure is
not used for gardening. The soil is
ola waxy substance that is very re-
tentive of moisture; these people
sometimes have long spells between
showers, but they plow right along.
We learn that this soil is anywhere
from 10 to 20 feet deep. No danger
of any such land as that wearing out.
We saw where a railroad embank-
ment had been made from the dirt
brought from railroad cut, and 1t
was all that black soil. The next
station is Goldman, 125 miles, and
now the stations are beginning to
bob up along the road in familiar

ration and possibly planting done,

Chapter VIII.

In the winter Of 1861 and '65
several hundred of our cavalry and
artillery horses were sent from the
army to be recruited and made ready
for the spring campaign of 1868.
One of tho7c recruiting camps was
near Thomson's Mill, on Thickctv
creek and Pacolet river. About 400
or 500 heal Of horses were sent there
to feed and most of them beionoe |
to Gary's b.igide OF cavalry IN
several Union county men we're with
them. Some men wero there from
Anderson and nther western conntits
of the State, while IA similar camp
was established near Catawba river
for the co"sumpti n of the feed in
that section. Officers, Of couse.
were detailed to 90 round and gather
up this what was termed tax in
kind" Your readers are aware that
at this time the railroads were taxed
to their utmost capacity to transport
troops and army supplies. 1t was
impossible for them to carry all the
corn, fodder and hay necessary to
feed the broken down stock. This
made these recruiting camps not only
a necessity but convenience to the
Confederate Government.
Even at this late day we are glad
to know that this section of Union
county was one Of the best farming
sections in the State-corn, fodder,
hay, oats, wheat and every other
staple of food for man and beast
was raised in super. abundance.
North Pacolet was the Goshen of the
OonfederacY. Broad river, Pacolet,
Thickety. Gilky and Abingdon
creeks with their intervening sec
tions of rich uplands, cultivated un-
der the best system of farm labor
ever known in this or any other
county produced more than it could
well take care of, of all and any kind
of farm and home supplies. Scarcity
of these was rare occurrence. But
the contiguous sections of York and
Union counties were canvassed and
feed was brought in for use in the
recruiting camp. On the detail from
the 7th S. G. Cavalry for this pur-
pose was Gillian Thomas, of Co. C,
(McRissick's.) He was on the York
side of the river when the great Jan
uary treshet come in 1S65-known
to so many of our older people as the
"Sherman freshet."
lmpressing officers for the govern
ment were here and there all over
the country taking horses, saddles,
harness, cattle, hogs, &C., in fact
anything that could be used for any
purposes. These we're in many GASES
complete nuisances-and they nat
urally incurred the i'll will of people
who they no douh. sometimes i'm
posed upon-and people (and if the
truth must be told)had special hatred
for them. We are glad to say, how
ever, that our cavalry detail did not
come in with this class of marauders
neither was it in any way connected
with them. 1t gave the farmers an
opportunity to deliver their tax in
kind at the recruiting camp rather
than to haul it to Yofkville or Union.
1t was convenience to the farmers.
Here they got receipt for produce de-
livered and all was y. K with the
government Of the Confederacy.
