QUEER USES OF WORDS. Unlinppr Mnrrlngen. Unhappy and unfortunate marriages arc Curious Expresions Peculiar to the North I <’ f i°° frequent m-currence nowadays unit and South. Rehecra Hurt in the Chautauqunn. It seems the most natural thing the world for a ‘Southerner in calling another, to say, “O, John!” but always seems to amuse our friend across the way. It is the “O” that excites their merriment, and in at tempting to give the peculiarity they often represent us as saying, “Ho" John,” which wc never do say. Another Southern expression which always sounds queer to Northern ears is the use of the word “mighty” as an adverb. But to those accustomed to it, “mighty pretty” conveys an idea of beauty that the overburdened North cm word of “lovely” doesn’t reach, Turning to Webster to see if it must be given up, wc find that it is allowa ble when used colloquially. Good' Wc should never want to use it ccpt colloquially. In the North a man fills liis wagon “box” with corn and “draws” it to town; in the South lie fills his wagon “bed” with corn and “hauls” it to the same place. In N ew England they say "the going” (meaning the condition of the ronds) is bad; in the South they say “the traveling” is bad. Perhaps say the roads are bad would he more intelligible than cither. Southerners say “like” for “as if” as “She looked like she wanted go.” They laugh at it iu the North and in the same breutli »ay “as” for “that”—“I don’t know as I overheard' it here”—and then the Southerner laughs and both are happy. So in grained are both expressions, how ever, that the delinquents are seldom conscious cf the delinquency. A large proportion of grammatical mistakes are common to the unedu cated wherever they arc found, hut there are some which are so peculiar to certain sectious that their use set tles at once the question of whether the person using them is from the North or South. The expression “I seen” for “I saw,” is a very common mistake in tie South and rare in the North, while “I see him yesterday” for “I saw him yesterday,” so com mon, even among educated people, at the North, is never heard in the South. This makes it difficult for writers who have never lived in a certain section to imnate successfully the dia lect of that pople. They are apt to be betrayed into the mistake of put ting into the mouths of a certain class in another part of the country such words as they would hear 'from the same clnss in their own section. This, undoubtedly, is the -difficulty which many Northern writers find iu truthfully portraying the negro dia lect. They take ns models the ue- i they have known, and judge. a iu< that the talk of a South- groes they 1 incorrectly, ern negro would be the same; conse quently, a practiced ear can. almost always detect the difference between one who assumes a familiarity and one who is “to this manner horn.” The incongruity of making a South ern negro say, “Whar be you goin’?" as wc saw recently in some story, i inexpressibly ludicrous In one famil iar with their dialect. He might say “Whar you goin’?” or “Whar is you goin’?” The honor of the expression “You be” belongs exclusively to the North. What he would be most likely to say is, “Whar you ’gwinc — All the World Akin. Pun.ADEi.rniA, June 3.—The following dispatch was received this afternoon by Supt. Gill of the Wes tern Union compauy; Hiaitisiu'itn, Pa., June II, lt»ttll. 1 |>. m. I am in direct communication with Johnstown. .Sheriff' Stincman tele graphs: “All is quiet. I can con trol without troops. Burgeos Hurl and Gen. Hastings agree with me. Good order prevails. No arrests were made during last night or to-day. The relief is well organized and care fully distributed. The medical and surgical help, and supplies are suffi cient. Food aud made-up clothing tor men, women and children are greatly needed at ouce. The news paper reports of the loss of lives and property are not exaggerated. A large force will be at work all the morning to clear away debris.” I will issue a proclamation to the gen eral public in our own country und elsewhere for help. I have one sub scription from England of 81,000. I will have another communication from Johnstown about 10 o’clock to night, the substance of which I will wire you.
