NO ADM1TTANCE FOR WORDS.
Prof. 7. R. Lounssury. in Harp.rs Magazine.

Prot. 7. r. Lounsbury. in Harper's Masazine
Always during the history Of every
tongue men have insisted on maintain
ing firm stand against the entrance
into 1t Of new expressions of any sort
In SO doing they have honestly believed
that they were actuated not by a sense
less but by a holy zeal for purity OF
speech. The strongest sort Of OPPOSE
tion has been frequently offered to the
recognition of words which it would
now seem to us We could hardly do with
out. The feeling existed in high places.
In 1878 the fourth edition of Johnson's
dictionary was published. It was the
last edition which appeared under his
supervision. Boswell tells US that he
in vain urged Johnson to insert civil
ization. This was just then beginning
to take the place of civility in the
sense Of being opposed to barbarism.
He refused to acknowledge the in
truder. Humiliating he admitted to be
a word frequently used, but he did not
know it to be legitimate English
whatever that means. So, though he
inserted the noun humiliation, the cor
responding verb and adjective are not
found in his final revised edition. Not
long after this time DEVELOPMENT ap-
peared in the title Of book. Its au-
thor was sternly informed by one of
his reviewers that there was no such
word in the language. William Taylor
Of Norwich, somewhat renowned for
peculiar words he used in his writings,
sent an article to the Monthly Review,
in which occurred the verb rehabili-
tate. 1t was at once struck out by the
editor. 1t was not English. Taylor was
informed and would not have been un-
derstood. 1t may be said in palliation
II not defense of this action that it was
not until the latter half Of the nine
teenth century that the word became
we'll known, especially In the sense Of
whitewashing questionable characters.

ABOLISHING THE PYRENEES.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
What neither Napoleon nor Louis XIV
could quite accomplish politically French
engineers are now achieving for the
world of commerce. Within the past few
weeks two great tunnels, which abolish
the Pyrenees as obstacles to transporta-
tion. have at last been cut through from
France to Spain. and through these with
in a few months trains will pass. bring.
ing Paris nearer alike to Madrid and
Barcelona.
OF the two tunnels that were recently
pierced the more interesting to travellers,
since 1t brings Africa as well as Spain
closer to central Europe, is the tunnel
which leaves French territory at Bourg-
Madame in the Cerdagne and emerges in
Spanish territory near Ripoll. Short
lines Of rail yet to be laid will make 1t
practically straight road from Toulouse
to Barcelona. Hereafter travellers from
Paris to the Catalan capital will 60
south by Limoges and Toulouse instead of
making the long detour by Lyon, Taras-
con and Mines
But the real value to the French Of the
new route will be that it supplies an al
most air line route from Paris to Carta-
African coast and only one hundred miles
away. Oran Is presently to be the termi-
nus Of the railway which will connect AL
geria with Fez and the Atlantic cities Of
Morocco with the Mediterranean, and the
new tunnel will thus be a link in this line
In addition this railway will almost abol-
ished the water journey from France to
Algiers. which is SO justly dreaded by
all travellers.
The second of the tunnels pleases Span
ish politicians Hitherto Spain has de-
pended for her land communication with
Europe upon the railways which skirt the
Pyrenees at the Bay Of Biscay and the
Mediterranean shore. But on the from
tier at each Of these points are provinces
which are frequently rebellious and al
ways disloyal The Basques of the west
are Carlislists. the Catalans of the east
republicans. The new line, while short
ening the journey from Madrid to Paris
materially, is chiefly valuable to Spain
as it gives her a railway line to France
and Europe through loyal provinces.
These two tunnels represent a part Of
the price France paid for Spanish conces-
sions In Morocco. They have been built
by French capital and can hardly be self
but their value to France is
real. both because they bring her Afri-
can empire nearer to her home territory
and open Spanish markets to French

Jamesburg has a wonder in the form
OF musical cat owned by Mrs. John
Perrine, Of Upper Jamesburg. Edward
snedaker, boarder at the Perrine house,
was sitting alone in the house when he
heard the piano playing. Knowing that
he was the only human occupant Of the
dwelling. he tipped to the door and peer
ed into the room without seeing any
one. but fully expecting to be confronted
by spook.
Then he got lighted lamp and braced
up courage to enter the room. only to
ind that the cat was the pianist. It was
dancing up and down on the keys. and
running the scale of an octave.
Mrs. Perrine recalled hearing the piano
playing several times. She said she al

IC0L0RED MOSES OF HER PEOPLE
DIES IN HOME She FOUNDED
Harriet Tubman, Who Passed Away Recently at Auburn,
N.Y., Was One Of the Most Remarkable Women Of Her
Race-Hstory Of Her Exploits During Civil War.

I about the early '4Ss of the past CEN
| tury. however. she began to attract at
tention through her raids into Southern
TERRITORY, and the rescue Of other slaves
So abusive was she that her name became
a byword with Northerners and South
erners alike.
! Records show that Harriet worked in
the North and was married in 1874 to a
free negro. John Tubman, whom she
later found to be possessed Of another
| wife. She is said to have saved her
wages that she might finance her trips
into slave territory. In this she was
also helped by kind-hearted whites.
How She Operated.
Typical of her many trips is that OF
her first raid in search Of black unfortu-
mates. Word OF her coming was sent
ahead to the plantation she had chosen
for the slave delivery.
There one dark night she appeared at
the door of a cabin where a trembling
band of fugitives, forewarned as to time
and place. awaited her as their Moses.
Through countless perils she piloted these
parties to safety. II a footsore. bleed
ing. groaning man dropped and said he
could not take another step. she put q
revolver to his head and sternly said:
Dead niggers tell no tales; you go on
or die" Thus she compelled them to
drag themselves to safety.
Conducted Nineteen Raids.
In this manner she conducted nineteen
raids and brought away more than 800
slaves, old and young, including her
parents. Driven to desperation by hav-
ing SO many Of their slaves liberated, the
slave holders of the region whench
the negroes were spirited away offered
a reward Of $4,000 for the capture of
oarriet. dead or alive.
During the four years Of the war,
Harriet nursed thousands Of sick soldiers
and contrabands, curing them with roots
and herbs. At Gen. Hunters request she
went with several gunboats up the Com
bahee River. the expedition being to lift
Confederate torpedoes, destroy railroads
and bridges and cut of Confederate
supplies. Col Montgomery, one Of
Browns men. was appointed by Gen.
Hunter to command the expedition. at
Harriets request. Eight hundred negroes
were carried down to Beaufort by these
boats. Harriet often went in with the
Confederate lines as a spy and brought
back valuable information as to the po-
sition Of soldiers and batteries. She was
frequently under fire. but escaped un-
hurt.
After the war. she settled in Auburn,
N. T., where she started the Harriet
Tubman Home" bending all her energies
to the uplift and readjustment Of her
race till she became so feeble that she
was OBLIGED to seek rest in the institu-
tion she had founded.
