SELF CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE NEWLY
WED.-The presence of seven bridal
couples on late trip of the Atlantic
liner Cedric to London, gave rise to
much merriment in the endeavor to
make it appear as if the newly-wed
had been married long enough to
have worn off the self-conscious nov
city. The jokes sometimes perpe-
trated, under these circumstances,
are cruel. In this instance some I'M
kind person, just before the steam
ship left, flooded the boat with pla-
cards on which was printed, LET
me introduce you to Mr.. and Mrs.
Blank, who are now on their honey
moon" This, of course, applied with
equal force to the fourteen partici-
pants in the first act of life's dual
drama. One of the brides, at the
last meal, was lauded by the woman
who sat next to her with Let me
congratulate you upon the splendid
way you carried it off," But how
did you know" inquired the other
amazed. My dear, was the reply,
:" at the very first meal you tried to
hide your wedding-ring" "Oh,"
replied the bride with a sigh of resig-
nation, Il was afraid you had seen
the horrid placards.

was over slop-bucket and not poll

ed from location of q slop- pail, which
had been moved by Gillian and re-
placed by Oliver. who seemed to
think that it was, or should be, an
adjunct OF his executive functions to
designate the place it should occupy.
Gillian after several attempts to
to keep the offending article out OF
sight, knocked down Oliver, and that
gentleman Immediately laid the mat
ter before Warden Kincaid, who dis
charged Gillian. 1t is, therefore, by
no means certain that it was slop-
pail" and not politics" that was in

The New York Herald, like some
other big-headed newspapers and in
dividuals, has attempted to improve
the English language by substituting
steamed" for those who have sailed,
in abiding to passengers by steam
craft. doubtless retaining the former
word for those who go on sailing
vessels. A much more imperative
need exists, we think, for some word
to replace shipped" in abiding to
goods or freight sent by rail, or any
form of land vehicle or conveyance.
It really seems, however, that the
Heralds new word will crowd out
that other word so frequently used
in abiding to favored individuals

uous, indeterminate, and sounds tau.
