To M>y 'hat a man la mentally unbal anced excites nothing but a weak pity, but when he 1* deecrtbed aa having rat# lr. his garret, or wheels In his head, or a ~-rew loose, or as having slipped a cog. the situation Is conveyed with an accu r, y of which (he language undeftled Is rot capable—and the people understand. Hooks have been written and essays a ,ul upon the subject of slang. Grave masters of Kngllsh have denounced its pernicious Influence upon the purity of the mother tongue and have pointed with lov ing reverence to the graceful, If some nhat stilted periods of two centuries ago. as the models upon which the present gen er.tlon should form Ita Ideals of exprea aion.

Bo much Interval haa been aroused In the reaolutlon offered by Alderman Dixon at th laat meeting of Council, calling upon Chatham'* member* of tho General Assembly to obtain legislation at the com ing session of the legislature to author ise the Council to open Barnard and Abercom streets through the squares on those streets, that the Morning News re publishes this morning the cut prepared from a plan drawn several months ago In the city engineer’s office by Assistant En gineer J. W. Howard at the request of Alderman Dixon. The plan was published st the time, but as no detlnlts action was taken by the city It has to some extent passed from the public mind Many people have a very haxy Idea aa to the manner In which the squares would be affected by the proposed change, and the plan will serve to give them a clearer conception of what is proposed. The cut shows Calhoun square aa It would appear under the plan advocated by Aklerman Dixon, the broken lines show- Ing the square as It now ezlsts. It will be seen that Taylor street would be left open on the north, and Gordon street on the south, while Aboroom street would he opened through the center of the square with the street railway’s double track* about the center of th# street. Wayne street would ha blocked ofT on either side of Ihe square Ahercom street would di vide Ihe square Into two parks of equal size. It will he seen that although a wide street 1* opened through the center, the combination of the two park* I* greater than that of the present park In the square. This I* because the present streets on the east and west of the square are both about the same width as the rr> will' hit I* pro[*i*-*l th <>|>rn through the renter, so there 1* a clear gain In prk area of Ihe width of one afreet. There la also some gain In park area In taking up Ihe rounded corners of the park which doe* not appear eleorly In tha plan. The 'lotted lines Inside the park area* Indicate the sidewalk* and also show th. divisions which would mark Ihe renovate,! square. It Is not proposed to do away with any of Ihe sidewalks In the square. There Is a mistaken Impression on thla subject also. The sidewalks will remain and will be extended to the property lines on the east and west sides, so that access to any part of the square or to any part of the residences fronting on It would be Just the some as at preeent. One of the advantages claimed for the plan Is that It will open Abercorn street north and south on a straight line and thus permit of the Improvement of one of the most desirable residence streets In the city. The Increase In park area Is another one Of the alleged advantages and It Mr also claimed that the carrying of tha parks to Ihe property line would <M to the appearance and Increase the value of the property there This It I* claimed, would more than offset any Ineonvenlen.-a to the resident* on the east and .*t sides of the squares hy reason of the closing of the wide streets which now In tersect Ihe trust lot*. There I* much oppoa'tlon among cltl sens generally, however, to any change whatever In the present form of the squares and ll Is evident that If Alderman plxon succeed# in carrying through his Idee, either In Counci or th# Legl* attire It will be after a very stiff fight with ihe many opponents of the measure.
