English, and American English.
[By Prof. Rlobxrd A. Proctor.]
An American friend of mine, in re
sponse to the question by an English
man (an exceedingly positive and dog
matic person, as it chanced), “ Why do
Englishmen never say ‘I guess?’” re
plied (more wittily than justly), “ Be
cause they are so positive about every
thing. ” But it is noteworthy that whereas
the American says frequently “ I guess,”
meaning “I know,” the Englishman as
frequently lards his discourse with the
expression “ You know,” which is per
haps more modest. Yet, on the other
side, it maybe noted that the “down
East ” American often uses theexpres-,
sion “ I want to know ” in the saQJ( ,
sense as our English expres^ at
tentive interest “ Indee-’ „
. Among tlie otV l.sr familiar American
>e mentioned the following:
-meiican who is interested in a
uu V*&ve or statement will say “ Is that
or “imply “So?” The expression
Possible !” is sometimes but not often
heard. Dickens misunderstood this ex
clamation as equivalent to “It is possi
ble, but does not concern mewhereas
in reality it is equivalent to the expres
sion “Is it possible ? ” I have occasion
ally heard the expression “Do tell 1”
but it is less frequently heard now than
of yore.
The word “right” is more frequently
used than ig England, and is used also
in senses, different from those understood
in our English usage of the word. Thus,
the American will say “ right here” and
‘‘right there,” where an Englishman
would say “ just here ” or “ just there,”
or simply “ here” or “ there.” Ameri
cans say “right away” where we say
“ direqjtly.” On the other hand, I am
inclined to think that the English ex
pression “ right well” for “ very well ”
is nc4 commonly used in America.
Americans say, “yes, sir,” and “no,
sftr,” with a sense different from that
with which the words are used in En
gland ; but they mark the difference of
sense by a difference of intonation.
Thus, if a question is asked to which the
reply in EnblanA would be simply
“yds” or “no” (or, according to the rank
or station of the querist, “yes, sir,” or
“ no, sir,”), the American reply would
be “yes, sir,” or “no, sir,” intonated as
with us in England. But, if the reply
is intended to bo emphatic, then the in
tonation is such as to throw the empha
sis on the word “sir”—the reply is
“yes, sir,” or “no, air .” In passing, I
may note that I have never heard an
American waiter reply “yessir,” as our
English waiters d.i.
The American use of the word
‘ * quit ”is peculiar. They do not limit
the word, as we do, to the signification
"take leave”—in fact, I have never
heard an American use the word in that
sense. They generally use it as an
equivalent to “leave off” or “stop.
(In passing one may notice as rather
strange the circumstance that the word
“quit,” which properly means “to go
away from,” and the word “stop, which
means to “stay,” should both have come
to be used as signifying to “leave off.”)
Thus Americans say “quit fooling” for
“leave off playing the fool,” “quit
singing,” “ quit laughing,” and so
forth.
To Euglish ears an American use of
the word “ some ” sounds strange—viz., ;
as an adverb. An American will say,
“I think some of buying anew house,”
or the like, “ for I have some idea of
buying,” etc. I have, indeed, heard the
ÜBage defended as perfectly correct,
though assuredly there is not an instance
all the wide range of English litera
ture which will justify it.
So, also, many Americans defend as
good English the use of the word
"good” in such phrases as the follow
ing: “I have written that note good,
for "well;”' “that will make you feel
good,” for "that will do you good,” and
in other ways all equally incorrect. Of
course, there are instances in which ad
jectives are allowed by custom to be
used as verbs, as, for instance, "right”
for “rightly,” etc., but there can be no
reason for substituting the adjective
“good” in place of the adverb "well,
which is as short a word, and at least
equally euphonious. The use of ‘ * real
for "really,” as "real angry,” “ rea 1
nice,” is, of course, grammatically inde
fensible.
The use of the word "elegant for
"fine” strikes English ears as strange.
For instance, if you say to an American,
"This is a tine morning,” he is likely to
reply, "It e an elegant morning, 01,
perhaps oftener, by using simply
word “elegant.” It is not a pleasing
use of the word.
RISING FAWN, DADE COUNTY. GEORGIA. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 7, 1881.
l There are some Americanist s whioh
; seem more than defensible—in fact,
| grammatically more correct than our
in 1 win UM iu e ' T hu ?’ we hear
m Amenoa the redundant “got” in such
expressions as “I have got,” etc., etc.
Where the word would not be redund
ant, it is yet generally replaced by the
more euphonious word “gotten,” now
scarcely ever heard in England. Yet
again, we often hoar in America such
expressions as “I shall get me anew
have hew dress,”
I must buy me that,” an d the like.
This use of “me” to r “myself” is good
old English,
been struck by the oironrn
nee that neither the conventional, but
generally very absurd, American of our
English novelists, nor the conventional
Englishman of American novelists, is
made to employ the more delicate* but
at least equally-absurd, American
isms or Anglicisms. We generally find
the American “guessing” or “calcu
lating ” if not even more coarsely Yan
kee, like Reade’s Joshua Fullalove,
while the Englishmen of American
novels is almost always very coarsely
British, even if he is not represented as
using what Americans persist in regard
ing as the true “ Henglish haccent. ”
Where an American is less coarsely
drawn, as Trollope’s “American Sena
tor,” he uses expressions which no
American ever uses, and none of those
Americanisms which, while more deli
cate, are in reality more characteristic,
because they are common, all Americans
using them. And in like manner, when
an American vriter introduces an En
glishman of the more natural sort he
never makes him speak as an English
man would speak ; before half a dozen
sentences have been uttered he uses
some expression which is purely Ameri
can. Thus no Englishman ever uses
and an American may bo recognized at
once by using such expressions as “I
know it,” or “That’s so,” for “It is
true,” by saying “ Why, certainly,” for
“ certainly,” and so forth. There are a
great number of these slight but char
acteristic peculiarities of American and
English English.
HYDH OP 11 OIIIA.
Researches into the subject of rabies
liave not thrown much light upon the
obscure and dreadful disease. It has
been demonstrated, however, that the
brain substance as well as the saliva
contains the virus and will produce the
disease as effectively if used to inoculate
healthy animals. Matter from the
medulla oblongata and the frontal por
tion of one of the brain hemispheres and
the liquid of the brain have thus been
used with success. The uncertain de
velopment of the disease after inocula
tion, and the variable and often very
Ion" period of incubation, have been
among the chief difficulties in the in
vestigation of rabies. M. Pasteur, an
vminent French scientist, is now able
to communicate the disease surely, and
to shorten considerably the time of in
cubation. His method is to inoculate
directly the surface of the brain, using
as inoculating matter the cerebral sub
stance of a mad dog as pure as possible.
In that case, it is said, the first symp
j toms of rabies appear infallibly in a
I week or two, and death ensues in less
I than three weeks. _______
A NEIGHBORLY FAMILY.
A family from down in Indiana moved
into a house in Detroit and before night
had borrowed tea, sugar, eggs, milk and
kerosene from as many different neigh
bors. After three or four days the new
family ceased to borrow promiscuously,
and settled down on one particular
neighbor. At an early hour in the
morning a small boy appeared and said:
( * Shy, we are out of tacks and want to
put down our carpet. Ma wants to know
if she can borrow a few ? ”
A bunt was made, and the request
granted, but in ten minutes the boy re
turned, and said:
“Say, we’ve mislaid our tack hammer
and ma wants to borrow yours.”
He got it, and this time it was twenty
minutes before he returned and said :
“Say, ma’s pulled all her teeth out
pulling on that carpet. She wants to
know if you won’t lend her one of your
boys?”
One of the boys was sent but it
was an obstinate carpet, and back
the messenger with:
“ Say, ain’t your husband home ? ”
“ Yes; what do yon want ? ”
“Weil, ma’s mislaid her husband
somewhere, and she wants to borrow
vours to pull one end of the infernal
carpet through two doors and across a
hall.”
The line had to be fired somewhere,
ud it was fixed here.— Detroit Xeu.
“ Faithful to the Eight, Fearless Against the Wrong.’
A STOUT OF “ WILD BILT n
Wild Bill was one of the “ genuine
Indian scouts” of Gen. Custer. Ho was
a fellow of most singular temperament,
and was known on the plains as Wild
Bill, albeit his actual name was James
Uiekok. Wild Bill, under circumstan
ces of particular aggravation, shot and
killed a desperado in Missouri. Years
afterward, Bill became a member of
Buffalo Bill’s droll theatrical company,
and, in compliance with the story of the
play, had to repeat every night upon
the stage the killing which, as a reality
had made him famous. Bill watched
the first rehearsal patiently, then he
went to the stage manager. “I can’t
kill that thar chap, no how,” quoth
Bill. “Why not?” inquired the man
ager. “Well,” said Bill, tranquilly,
“ Buffalo slings him around in the first
act, and Maeder clips him in the ear in
the second act, and Mrs. Maeder drives
him out of the ranch with a broom in
the third act. Then I’ve got to kill him
after all in the fourth act. Why, I nev
er killed such a coyote as that in my
life 1 It’s all wrong, pardner ! It’s all
wrong making him out such a squaw
man as all that. By goll, sir, he was
the biggest gentleman I ever shot!”
Although he carried a dozen bullets,
more or less, deeply imbedded in Iris
flesh, Wild Bill never sustained an in
ternal wound. He was killed, while
playing cards, by a scoundrel who, for
S6OO blood-money paid him by gam
blers, sneaked up behind Bill and blew
bis brains out. Bill was, strangely
enough, a very honest and courageous
fellow, who, in his office of Marshal,
was the tenor of the “crooked” gam
blers of the Territory'. The post-mor
tem examination of his remains ex
plained his immunity from penetrative
bullet-wounds. It was discovered that
his ribs were welded together, the inter
costal cartilages and muscles having os
sified. His lungs and heart, therefore,
were naturally protected by a cun-ass of
bone. Such was the wonderful rapidity
with which Bill could draw his pistol
that, even in the sudden death which
him, ho had time annua'* 1
butt of his revolToc.
GOLD AND SILVER.
In antiquity gold was abundant
enough, and yet a pound of gold was ;
worth rather less than it is now, say 13
or 131 times a pound of silver. In the 1
middle ages there was hardly any pro
duction of gold at all, and still it loses ■
much of its value, for it is hardly worth ,
more than ten times its weight in silver, j
After the discovers- of America, at first
it is gold which flows in, and yet it in
creases in value so as to be worth 11
and 11J times silver, instead of 10 times,
as in the middle ages. The production
of silver rises from 53,000,000 to 75,000,-
000 of marks between 1561 and 1600, and
for all that the value of silver does not
go down. From 1600 to 1700 the pro
i duction of silver falls from 75,000,000 to
60,000,000, while that of gold rises from
j 20,000,000 to 25,000,000. Gold ought to
have gone up and silver to have gene
down ; exactly the contrary of this is
w hat took place. During the eighteenth
century the production of silver is tri
pled, aud yet its value, which ought to
have gone down, goes up, and if it falls
from 1785, itis because the ratio of 1 tols*,
which Oalonne established in France,
increased the legal tarification of gold.
During the nineteenth century, a fact
more conclusive still, gold is produced
in ten-fold annual quantity between 1840
i and 1860, without any effect on its val
: ue. According to the Indian Memoran
dum there must have been in the world
in 1850, 15,557,530 pounds troy of gold,
and 339,828,926 of silver, and in 1878
29,809,725 of gold and 480,506,080 sil
ver. The mass of gold doubled; that of
silver remains stationary, and neverthe
less gold loses none of its value. These
figures prove beyond refutation the error
of those who make the relative value of
precious metal depend upon production;
it is solely the effect of the law, as I have
proved elsewhere. The French Minis
ter of 1803, M. Oar dm, has summed
all this up in a sentence: “The price of
the precious metals in commerce always
regulates itself according to the price of
gold at the mint.” —Emile de Laraleyc,
in Fortnightly Review.

HOW EAST IT IS TO DIE.
“If I had strength to hold a pen, I
would write how easy and delightful it
is to die,” were the last words of the
celebrated surgeon, Wm. Hunter; and
Louis XIV. is recorded as saying, with
his last breath, “I thought dying had
been more difficult.”
That the painlessness of death is
owing to some benumbing influence act
ing on tiie sensory nerves may be in
ferred ftom the fact that untoward ex
ternal surroundings rarely trouble the
dying.
On the day that Lord Collingwood
bre-iihed his last the Mediterranean was
tumultuous; those elements which had
been the scene of his past glories rose
and fell in swelling undulations and
seemed as if rocking him to sleep. Capt.
Thomas ventured to ask if he was dis
turbed by the tossing of the ship. “No,
Thomas,” lie answered, “ 1 am now in a
state that nothing can disturb me more—
I am dying, and I am sure it must l>e
consolatory to you and all that love me
to see how comfortably 1 am coining to
my end.” In ihe Quarterly Review
there is related an instance of a criminal
who escaped death from hanging by the
bleating of the rope. Henry IV. of
France sent his physician to examine
him,who reported that after a moment’s
suffering the man saw an appearance like
tire, across which appeared a most beau
tiful avenue of trees. When a pardon
was mentioned the prisoner coolly re
plied that it was not worth asking for.
Those who have been near death from
drowning, and afterward restored to con
sciousness, assert that that the dying
suffer but little pain.
Capt, Marryatt states that las sensa
tions it one time when nearly drowned
were rather pleasant than otherwise.
“Tie first struggle for life once over,
the "rater closing around me assumed
the ippearance of waving green fields.
* * * * It is not a feeling of pain,
but leerns like sinking down, overpow
ered by sleep, in the long, soft grass of
tile cool meadow.”

The English law prohibits a prisoner
being tried again for any offense if a jury
has once acquitted him, no matter what
additional evidence may be obtained.
But this does not apply to prisoners dis
missed by magistrates. Thousands,
however, are ignorant of this. Among
those was farmer, charged with arson,
but evideooe vSe inadequate, and the
insurance company paid. The farmer
then sued for false imprisonment, when
the company adduced fresh proof, which
sent the farmer to penal servitude for
five years.

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
mentions what may Ire safely set down
as the worst case of spelling of recent
record. It occurred in a “notis” of a
“ sellybrashuu” to be held on the shores
