While many words once in common
use are now nearly obsolete, few per-
sons are aware how large a number of
new words are constantly coming into
our language. The supplement of the
new edition Of Webster's unabridged
Dictionary, recently issued, contains,
among other attractive features, an
edition of over 1900 new words and
meanings, and yet it is but a few years
since a general revision was made and
great care taken to insert all the
words then properly belonging to the
English language. Where these words
came from and what they are is a sur
prise to persons who have not exam
ined them. That they have not been
hastily compiled is evidenced by the
accuracy of and careful study given to
their etymology and definitions.

Washington special to the Cincin-

Attorney Geneneral Of Tennessee, got
off a good thing before the staid Judg-
es of the United States Supreme-Court

their wrinkles enough to laugh. Lea
proceeded to argue the case Of Davis,
revenue officer, who killed man in
Tennessee in the discharge of his duty,
and who applies on writ of certiOrari
to have the cause removed from the
State to the Federal Court. Lea, as
prelude, said that he hoped that the
Attorney General would not carry the
question of civil rights into the case,
inasmuch as the people of Tennessee
were extremely loyal-in fact so much
so that its Supreme Court has decided
that under the fourteenth amendment
it was no offence to play cards with a

OOSCIuol IL. W. ANOJCSs VI Oihoy L
vania, in the N. Y. Herald, says: "The
Southern people realize the situation
at last. l must say they have been a
triffe slow, but they have had many
drawbacks They must follow the
example of the northern people. They
must 90 to work. They have had
enough poetry. They must study
Franklin more and a damed sight less
of Addison and Calhoun. The South
will not readily attract Northern cap
ital, because the people down there
have not treated the Northern immi>
grants who have gone there to improve
their country well. They have failed
to discriminate between industrious
men or capitalists and the carpet-bag-
gers. They have not been polite.
The old definitions of the South ought
to be expuDged. There is no reason
why South Carolina should not be as
great in its agricultural resources as
Ohio. There is Virginia, for instance.
She is not Southern State in any
sense of the word. Her vast mineral
wealth and the products of her soil
make her essentially a Northern State.
Why under heaven do they cling fast
to old ideas, old prejudices, and wait
for Wyoming and Nevada to get their
ores to market before them ?"


Realizing our situation at last, as
the Governor says we have-why
should immigrants neglect longer to
come South, when there is such a
magnificent opening for investments!
Notwithstanding our slOwness we have
steadily increased the production OF
cotton, sugar, rice, tobacco and other
products, and will welcome all good
people, who desire homes, to occupy
and develop the waste places SO long
neglected by the present occupants.
There is no truth in the constantly it.
Grated phrase, that 'lhe people down
there have not treated the Northern
immigrants who have gone there to
improve their country we'll" Many
classes of people came South after the
'late unpleasantness," one class with
capital, engaged in cotton planting,
and being igGorent OF the business,
failed signally in realizing the brilliant
expectations anticipated; these persons
and Others, who need not be enumer.
ated, returning North, have prejudiced
many against the South, retarding
our growth and general prosperity, SO

who are actuated by love of country
rising above party influences. An in
dustrious man, who is earnest in de-
sire to improve his status, will be as
warmly welcomed here as in any sec
ton of the Union, nor need there be
the slightest apprehension to life, lib
erty or property in this much abused
section; crime is as common in the
North as the South and it behooves
those who are representative men, all

remedies to suppress it, and cease sec-
