An Amfiriooai friend of mino, in re
spoaowfo the question by an English.
»* (■BhiMi II iliiiuV positive and dog
■afro person, as it chanced), “ Why do
hagbohinaxi never say ‘lgoeraT ” ro,
I>b*i (more wittily than justly), •• Be
.son they are ao positive about every
dung.” Built is noteworthy thrt whereas
the Amenoan aaya frequently “ I guess,'
meaning “I-know," toe ne
frequency tarda his-diaoourae, with to*
Mpreancn “Ton know,” which ia per
hapa more modest. Yet, on t®s other
side, it mqybe noted that the "down
l-*et Aiaerictin often uses the exprre
•“» " I Want to know ” in the same
"cusev. gar English expression of at
tento'ze interest ** Indeed.”
Among the other familiar American
lama may be mentioned the following:
An American who ia mterreted in H
narrative or statement will say •• Is that
•of" or simply "80?" The expression
•• Possible J” ia sometimes but not often
heard. Dickens misunderstood this ex
'umintioujMtaqnivateal. to “It is posai-
Ue, lint Abes not eosmern mewhereas
in reality it ia equivalent to the expres
sion “Is it possible »” I have occasion -
uly heard the expression “Bo tell 1"
but it is leas frequently heard now than
of yore. A k m
Tbs word “ right” is more frequently
need than in England, and is used also
in mums different from those unde retool
in oar English usage yf the word Thus,
the Atuerjeati will saw* rigß here ” ami
“right there,” whore an Englishman
would say " just here" or “just there,”
or simply “here" or " there.” Amen
cans say “right sway” where we say
“ directly.” On the other hand, I am
inclined to think that the English ex
pression “ right well ” for “ very well ”
is not commonly used in America.
Americans say, "yea, sir,” and “ no,
air,” with a eeiia*' 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 England would be simply
"yea” or "no”(or, according to the rank
or station of the querist, "yes, sir,” or
"no, sir,"X the Aanencau reply would
be "yea, abr,” or "no, sir," intonated a« ,
with us in England. But, if the reply
is intended to be ernpbatie, then the in- !
umation is such as to throw the empha
sis oq the word “sir”—the reply is
“yea, sir,” or "no, sir.” In passing, I i
may note that I have never heard an
American waiter reply "yessir,” as our
English waiters <to.
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
luard an American use the word in that
sense. They generally use it as an
equivalent to "leave off” or "stop."
(In pasaiug 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 Americana say "quit fooling " for
" leave off playing the fool," “ quit
singing,” " quit laughing,” and so
forth.
To English ears an American use of
the word “ some ” sounds strange—viz.,
as an adverb. An American will say,
"I think aouae of buying a new houa«.<,''
or the like, " for I have some idea of
baying,” ete. I have, indeed, heard the
usage defended as perfectly correct,
ttungkoMSMadly there is not an instance
•n all the wide range of English liters
tan which wfll jtartif y it
80, also, many Americans defend as
good BigUsb the use of the word
"goaf” in aMab phrases ss the follow
ing: "I have written that note good,”
for "well;" "that will make you feel
good,” for "that will do you good,” and
incorrect. Os

>e<4t*Rflß allowed by custom to lie

reaacq for anbatigntmg the adjective
"good” in piece at the adverb “well,"

ui America th, redundant "got" in such
expression, m “I have got,” ete., etc.
Where the word would not be redund
ant, it is yet generally replaced bv jhe
more euphonious word ’ • gotten, ” imw
soarcelv ever heard in England. Yet
agmii, we often hear m America such
expression* as “I .hall get me a rfew
book," “I have gotten me a now drew ”
and >be hta.
This nae of “mu" for “myself” ia good
old English, at any rate.
I have been struck by the cironni
stance that neither the conventional, but
generally very absurd, American of our
English novelist*, nor the conventional
Englishman of American novelists, is
made to employ the more delicaC* but
least equally-absurd, American •
isms or Anglicisms. We generally find
the American “ guessing " or “ calcu
lating ” if not even mote coarsely Yan
kee, like Reade’s Joshua Fullalove,
while the Englishmen of American
novels is alm rat always very coarsely
British, even if he is not represented as
using what Americana jMsrewt in regard
ing as the tmo “ Hengtudi haeceut. '
Where an American is less coarsely
drawn, as Trollope’s “American Betm
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 arc common, all Americans
using them. Ami in like manner, when
an American inter 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 be uses
some expression wiiiuh is purely Amen
can. Thus no Englishman ever tuuw
and an American may be 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 three atight but char
acteristic peculiarities of American and
English English.
BTMOnOIUU.
Reaearohes into the subject of rabirt
have not thrown much light upon the
obscure and dreadful dimwae. It bite
lieon demonstrated, however, that the
brain substance sh well ns tlie saliva
contains the virui 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
sued witli eucoesa. The uncertain de
velopment of the disease after inocula
tion, and the variable and often very
long period of incubation, have been
among the chief difficulties in the in
vestigation of rabies. M. Pasteur, an
vminent French scientist, i* now able
t«> communicate the diaeaae surely, and
to shorten considerably the time of in
cubatiou. His method is to inoculate
directly the surface of Uus 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
toms oi rabies appear infallibly in a
wixsk or two, and death ensues in fees
tliaii three week*.
X NKIGHBORLY FAMILY.
A family from down tn Indiana moved
! into a house in Detroit and before night
| had borrowed tee, sugar, eggs, milk and
. kerosene from an many different neigb-
J bore. After three or four days the new
' family ceased to liorrow promiscuously,
i and settled down on one partioular
i neighbor. At an early hour in the
morning a small boy appeared and said.
‘•Hay, we are out of tacks and want to
put down our carpet Ma wants to know
if she can borrow a few ? ’
A hunt was made, and the request
granted, but in ten minutes the boy re
turned, and said :
“Bay, 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 :
"Hay, ms’s pulled all her teeth out
pulling on that carpet She wants to
know if you won’t land her one of your
! toys?”
One of the boys was sent over, but it
i was an obstinate earpet, and back came
' the m.-ssenger with : *
•• gay, ain’t your husband home ’ ’
“Tee; what do you want f “
“Wall, ma's mislaid her husband

Wild Bill was one of the "genuine
Indian seouis" at Gen. Curtw. He was
a Uiluw W most Singular terapi-ratneiik,
and was known on the plains as Wild
Bill, al licit hl* actual name was James
i Hickok. Wild Bill, under cireomstioi
ce" of particular aggravation, shot and
killed a desperado in Missouri. Years
afterward, Bill became a isixnber of
Buffalo Bill s droll theatrical company,
and, in comphenre with tlie story of the
J8 U L W report-wvery wgU. upon
the stage the killing which, as a reality
had made him famous Bill watched
the first rehearsal
went to the rtege manager. > “ I canY
kill that thar chap', no how,” quoth
Bill. "Why not?" inquired the man
ager. •"Well,*’ eaid Bill, tranquilly.
'* Buffalo slings him around in the first
act, and Maeder oh pa him in the ear in
the second act, and Mrs. Maeder driven
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 ! It's all wrong, pardner I 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. I"
Although ho came l a down bullets,
more or less, deeply imbedded in his
flesh, Wild Bill never sustained an in
ternal woiftid He was killed, while
playing cards, by a noouudrel who, for
SSOO blood-money paid him by gam
blers, sneaked tip behind Bill gml blew
his brains ofit Bill was, strangely
enough, a* very honest and courageous
fellow, who, in his office of Marshal,
was the terror of the “crooked” gam
biers of the Territory. The ]xwt-mor
tem examination of his remains ex
plained liis immunity from penetrative
bullet-wounds. It wre discovered that
his ribs were welded together, the inter
costal cartilages and muscles having os
sified. His lungs and h<?art, therefore,
were naturally protected by a cuirass of
bone. Buch waa-the wonderful rapidity
with which Bill could draw his pistol
that, even in the sudden death which
befell him, he had time enough and
sense enough to put his baud upon the
butt of his revolver.

lu antiquity gold was abundant
enough, and yet a pound of gold was
! worth rather less than it is now, say 13 !
or 13| tunes a pound of silver. In the
| middle ages there was hardly any pro
duction of gold at all, and still it loses
| much of it* value, for itg is hardly worth
more than ten times its weight in silver.
1 After the discovery of America, at find
I it is gold which flows m, and yet it in
, creases in value so as to be worth 11
' and 11| times silver, instead of 10 times,
las in the middle ages. The production
of silver rises from 58,000,000 to 75,000,-
000 of marks i>etw®qql6fllaud 160". and
for all that the value of silver does not
I go down. From Ifido to 1700 the pro
dnctlon oTMlver falls from 75,000,000 to
60,000,000, whiKVuft of gold rises from
I 20,000,000 t 025,000,000. QoM ought to
I have goae up and silver to have gene
dorm ; exactly the contrary of this is
| what took place During the eighteenth
I century the production of silver is tri
pled, and yet its value, which ought to
have gone down, goes up, and if it falls
from 1785, itis because the ratio of 1 to 16|,
which Oalonne established in France,
increased the legal tarificatiou of gold.
During the nineteenth century, a fact
more conclusive still, gold i* produced
in ten-fold annual quantity between 1840
and 1860, withrmt any effect on its val
ue. According to the Indian Memorsii-
| dum there must have been in the world
in 1860, 15,567,530 pounds troy of gold,
and 339,828,926 of silver, and in 1878
29,809,726 of gold ami 580,506,060 sfl
ver. The mass of gold doubled; that of
silver remains stetaonaiy, and naverthe
less gold loses none of its value. These
figures prove beyornd 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 atoewhen. The French Minis
ter at ItOB, M. Geedin, has summed
all thto up tn a sentence: "The pries of
the precious metals to eommeree always
regulates itaeH according to ths price of
