“Yep” or “fup.”
A curious American colloquial
ism, of which I certainly cannot
see the advantage, writes William
Archer in Pall Mall Gazette, is
is the substitution of “yap” *or
yup for “yess” and of “nope” for
“no.” No doubt we have in Eng
land the coster’s “gtiss,” but one
hears even educated Americans
now and then using “yep” ( r some
other corruption of “yes,” scarce
ly to be indicated by the ordi
tnary alphabetical symbols. It
seems to me a pity.
Educated Americans, too, will
often say “somewheres” and a
“long ways.” I have littlo doubt
that this “s” has a grammatical
history of its own. Probsblj it is
on old case ending, just as “lie
goes out nights,” on which Mr.
Andrew Lang is so severe, is a sur
vival of the “6’nights” which
Shakesyeare puts in the mouth of
Julius Caesar (“Sleek headed men
and such as sleep o’nights.”)
At the same time, as “some
wheres” has become irremediably
a vulgarism in England, it would,
I think, be a graceful concession
on the part of educated Ameri
cans to drop the “s. 1 J After all
“somewhere” does not jar in
America, and ‘somewheres” very
distinctly jars in England.

Nancy Hart.
The interesting “History of
Georgia,” by Charles Edgeworth
Jones, now running in the Atlanta
Constitution, contains the following
sketch of Nancy Hart, the revolution
ary heroine in whogp honor Hart
county wa*> named:
“Here is an incident which strik
ingly illustrates the patriotic ardor
which burned in tlie hearts of the
women of Georgia during the dark
days of the American struggle. In
ono oi the frontier homes of
state, in what is now Elbert county,
lived Nancy Hart. I rudition lepie
sents her as being endowed ivith non
of the outward chaims of pci son
peculiar to her sex, and being moss
eyed, redhead ad and extremely
culim: both in appliance ,in
disposition, but in spite of this por
tvaiture it remains that one of the
brightest haloes of
heroism encircles ihe brow of this
pioneer 1 heioine of Georgia.
Hart was loyal to the American cause.
“She despised tories with
cordiality, and wasted civiities .
J no
making them acquainted wit her sen
timents. On one occasion a party
of tories stopped at her cabin and
asked to be regaled with one of her
repasts. She oiimenled to enterain
them and soon made the atmosphere
of the place savory with the good
things which she placed on the table.
Before assaulting with hungry
;lun Ip *Vl , it h- r
them, they stacked their guns in one
corner of the room and sitting them
selves down to eat with little thought
of daugtr, they addressed themselves
merrily to the task of satisfying the
wants of tlie inner man. But Nancy
Ii art w as not dispensing her hospi
tality simply to please her tin welcome
guest. She had other plans in view
no sooonei had the tories commenced
to dispatch the meal which lured
them on unconsciously to destruction
than she deliberated!}' snitched up
one of ihe guns and aiming it at the
group of men, announced that she
would fill with buckshot the first man
who drived to stir.
One of the members of the patty
thinking that she was only blufliing,
s:nrtied to move forward, but on
doing so he fell the floor filled with
buckshot. Prudence kept the others
from trifling with danger. In the
meantime Nancy dispatched one of
her cluldien to bring re enforcements
from the whig*, and when re-enforce-'
ments arrived she was enabled by
her cool pluck and brave stragem to
turn over to the whigs six burly
prisoners No episode of the revolu
tion is more redolent of heroism than
this courageous exhibition of patri
otism on the patt of Nancy Hart
and so long as the freedom which
sprang from the blood of the revolu
tion endures s > long will Nancy be
held in affectionate admiration. One
of the counties of Georgia has been
approprately named in honor of this
stout heroine of the revolution.”

The first indication of croup is

as the child become* hoarse, or even
a f ter the croupy cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. It is used

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our own Correspondent:
The Republicans now have before
the House their long promised single
gold slandered bill, and it is slated
for passage, with limited debate,
December 18th. The Democrats
justly protested against tho adoption
of a gag rule, compelling them to got
ready for discussion of this important
measure with hut one day preparation,
after the Repiilican* had consumed
eight months in its construction.
The proceeding attending the placing
of this bill before the House were
arbitary in the extreme. It, came
without the formality of a first con
sideration in committee, and conse
quently the Democrats have had no
opportunity even to offer amend
ments or file a minority report con
taining their views upon proposition
of far reaching importance. Under
the rule, moreover, there can be no
motionjorecommit the bill lor amend
ment. There is practically no possi
bility of securing its amendment in
me House The plan of the Repub
licans •imply is to fasten the gold
atanderd more firmly upon tho
American people, under a cloture
rule stifling eveiy effort at the
amendment or even through debate.
The Republican* of the House are
bound by their caucus to stand
together in this purpose, but it is
known that many of their leaders
distrust the wisdom of the course.
Joe Cannon, of Illinois, who ischair
man of appropriations, perhaps TiTe
most important committee of Con
gress, is personally opposed to a
number of the most importanpro
visions of the lull. Cannon knows
the traditionary friendship in the
middle west for the old greenbacks,
which came into existence during the
great civil war cuabledcd the gov
ernment, to tide over the crisis oi
that period. The proposition to im
pound is merely a subterfuge for
their retirement from the circulating
system; and will be made clear in the
byeif period allowed for debate.
Can,non is not alone in Ins apprehen
sions of tho political unwisdom of
the measure. A number of republi
cans from Indiana, Iowa, Kansas
and Minnesoto, regret that, they are
bound by the caucus mandate to
support the bill. They hope to seo
it amended in the Senate, as a means
of eliminating some provisions that
are generally unpopular and in some
states looked upon as vicious.
Although the Democrats almost as
a unit will oppose the bill, the leaders
are not sorry to see the Repulicans
force it through. The silver men
have not lost confidence in the
strength of their cause, and they
bt leive the people will repudiate the
party which stands sponsor for this
new bill, aimed mainly to strengthen
the national banking system and
enhance the value of stock in these
institution*. They hold that tilt
immediate effect of the measure will
be to turn over to the banks the
control of the circulating medium of
the country, and when this is realized,
there will be such a revolt as will j
sweep the Republicans from the j
legislative and executive branches |
overwhelmingly.
„„ The important ... committees ... OI e

matters affectung ... the .. new territory .
No. 15.
acquired from Spain. There is
naturally great pressure to secure
membership upon these committees,
in both the House and Senate.
Speaker Ilendrsop announces that
only the leading in;m will bo con
sidered eligible. Among those
named are Dalzell, of Pennsylvania,
for chairman; Knox, of Massachusetts
and Fowler, of New Jersey, Repub
licans, among the Republicans mem
bers; and Batly of, Texas; Williams,
of Mississippi, and lie Armond, of
Missouri, on the Democratic side.
The committee \v.II consist of nine
Republican:* and eight Democrats,
and a good deal ofHftro is bemig
given by Speaker Iltflfderson to get
m ol who w’ll, (jollechvly, furnish
capacity for handling intelligently
a!i the questions, necessarily of great
variety, which will coins before the
committee.
The provision for tills committee
indicates ihtt the Republicans intend
to treat the Philippines as a perma
nent possessions of the United States.
If only temporay expedients were
to be devised for the governieuts of
these island ', thei e would have been
no need for a seporate committee to
consider and report upon them.
The present committees of the House
arc ample.
The Industral Commission expects
to submit its first repot t to Congress
about tho middle of January and to
follow it, with seven other speciui
reports on different subjects, and
tnal ’ ‘siTTnTh.hg Yip the
one report
wl ole work that has been done.
The first report will be particularly
interesting, as it deals with trusts and
contains ail the testimony on tho
subject which has been laid before
the commission. It contains also a
digest of legislation on the subject
in the different states, in Congress,
and in foreign countries, showing
what has been upheld and what has
been declared unconstitutional by
the courts. The report is particularly
interesting, in view of ihe remarks
of the President in his recent mes
sage, and of the latest decisions of
the Supremo Court in a trust case.
As was to have been expected,
the President - that is to say, Attor
ney General Griggs, speaking
through the President - wants “more
legislation” in spite of the fact that
the Supreme Court’s decision in the
Addiston Pipe case shows clearly
that the present law is broad enough
to cover any form of combination
that has yet been proposed. Mr.
Griggs, it is understood, djola’-ed
that the law could not touch the
Addiston Pipe trust, and only con
sented to prosecute the cate in order
to quiet popular outcry at his
somnolency. That he won the case
must have been a surprise, arid not a
pleasant one, to him. From the
decision, it would seem that the
present need is not for more legisla
tion, but Ur an Attorney General
who will enforce the laws already in
existence.
