Augustin Daly has given one phrase to American literature that whatever may be its defect as a logical statement, has taken inch deep root in current English that it is dnnbtfnl whether it can possibly be eradicated, and probably never will be dislodged. Tbe phrase is, "Of contemporaneous human interest." Mr. Duly employed it originally in de scribing one of his adaptations of the playbill The literary critics scored the phrase unmercifully at the time and tried to ridicule it out of existence, but it soema that despite the irresistible conclusion .that no play could possibly possess any interest for tree* or cattle as distinguished from "bnman" creatures Mr. Daly had filled a long felt want with it, for it is now met with increas ing frequency. Doubtless every one who usee it does so under mental process charging tbe responsibility on Daly, but it is one of those winged phrases that drops in like an old time friend whose clothes are not above criticism.—Wash ington Poet.
