AMERICAN SLANG.
The utter ignorance of the English
of 'he signification of American slang
expressions, often causes some curious
scenes between them and Yankees iu
England, who seem to think that because
their language is generally understood,
all their American idioms
will be. An expert buyer, junior
partner in one of our large American
firms, at a recent visit to his correspondent
in an Euglish manufacturing city,
was complimented by the senior member
of the house who insisted on showing
goods to the American purchaser.
"There, sir," said Dowles, throwing
out a roll of goods, "wtiat do you ioiuk
of that."
"Oh, that's played," said the American.
"It's what?" said Bull.
"It's played, I tell you," said his
customer.
"Played?ah! really, we call it
plaid, h'yar in England, but this isn't
plaid?plad, you know."
"No," said the Yankee, "I don't
mean plaid. I mean to say, it's 'gone
up.'"
"Oh, no," said the Britisher, "not at
all; it has not gone up?quite the
contrary. We've taken off from the
price."
"Over the left; its three-pence too
high, uow."
"No doubt of it; but our neighbors,
you kuow, on the left, are not manufacturers,
you know."
"Very likely ; but I don't care to be
'stuck,' when I get home."
"Really ! Most extraordinary ! Is
it as dangerous in New York as the
newspapers say ?"
"Yes, but I don't want these goods.
I've got some already that will 'knock
the spots out of 'em.' "
"But, my dear sir, there's no spots
on the goods, I assure you. They are
perfect."
"Well, suppose we switch off on
these goods and try something else."
"Certainly," and the Englishman,
to the infinite amusement of the American
friend, called a clerk with a whispbroom,
and directed him to "switch
off" any dust he could find, while he
proceeded to show something else.
"There," said the Englishman, triumphantly
spreading another fabric,
"there's the handsomest piece of goods
in England, 'arf a guinea a yard."
"I can't see it," said the customer.
"Can't see it1 Why, you are looking
straight at it. However, suppose
you try the light of this window."
"No; I don't mean that," said the
American. "I haven't got the'stamps'
for such goods."
"Stamps! no stamps required but a
bill stamp, which we are happy to
furnish."
This misunderstanding might have
continued longer, had not one of the
younger members of the house, seeing
his senior's perplexity, rescued the
American and "put him through" after
the manner of bis countrymen.
Quite a Difference.?Bank Director?Stole
25 cents, did he? The
scoundrel. I'll arrest mm ana nave
him sent to the penitentiary this very
day. The idea of a cashier of ours
doing anythiug like that is enough
to?
Bank Examiner?Pardon me, sir ;
but you seem to have misunderstood
me.
"Oh! Well, perhaps I did. I've
been a little deaf for a good many
years."
"What I said, was that your cashier
left only 25 cents in the safe. He stole
all the rest."
"Great Caesar! I must see him at
once and get him to compromise the
matter."?Philadelphia Call.
f?* It was a Maine girl of whom the
story is told that she refused to marry
a man a most devoted lover until
he should have amassed a fortune of
$10,000. After some expostulation he
accepted the decree and went to work.
About three months after this the
avaricious young lady, meeting her
lover, asked: "Well, Charlie, how
are you getting along?" "Oh, very
well iudeed," he returned, cheerfully,
"I've got SIS saved." The young
lady blushed and looked down at the
toes of her boots and stabbed the inoffensive
earth with the point of her
parasol. "I guess," she said faintly,
"I guess, Charlie, that's abuut near
enough."
Conditional.?Judge B. F. Dennison
was once arguing a case before
Judge Rodger S. Greene, and in the
course of his remarks kept coutantly
referring to "Browne on Statute of
Frauds," always rnakiug two syllables
of the word Browne, and pronouncing
it as if were Brown-ee. Judge Greene
fidgeted around in his chair, stood the
mispronunciation as long as he could,
and then blurted out, "Judge, why do
you say 'Brown-e-e?" You wouldu't
call me 'Green-ee," would you ?'
Judge Dennison slowly replied, in a
rather dry tone of voice, "That depends
on how your honor decides this
case !"
S8P "Madam," said the tramp, as he
looked pensively at the angular female
who had just given him a quarter of a
gooseberry pie, "you are very beautiful.
If Eve was like you, I don't
wonder that Adam fell. I am almost
certain that I would have fallen myself
had I, iustead of Adam, been
placed in the garden with an Eve as
beautiful as yourself." The angular
female's face looked somewhat red as
she hauded the loquacious tramp another
piece of the gooseberry pie.

UO(?D PAPERS WORTH PAYING FOR.
An Kxpoiilllon of the Weakness of the
Cheapening Policy.
The New York Times, which has
heretofore heen sold at three cents
a copy and which is looked upon
as one of the high-class papers of
New York city, recently decided to
reduce the price per copy to one cent.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger, one
of the most careful, conservative and
respectable newspapers in America,
comments upon the experiment of
The Times as follows:
The criticism advanced by the op
pouents of the one-cent idea is that
there is a certain price below which it
is impossible, on sound business principles,
to publish a newspaper, and
one cent is below that price. The cost
of publishing a newspaper is enormous.
The great plaut to be maintained, the
corps of men trained in the craft, the
large body of skilled workmen, the
army of news gatherers, the various
fixed charges, the interest on the capital,
and especially the white paper
consumed daily, make a total which is
so huge that, if high quality in all be
maintained, the completed paper, if
sold at one cent, is sold without profit,
or at an actual loss. This is the shrewd
criticism, based on many experiments,
made against the lower price. It is
wholly immaterial how many copies
are sold, because the cost of white
paper of a good quality is so great
that, with the other expenses added,
the cost of each finished paper leaves
no margin at one cent.
It is evident, then, that any prospect
of profit for the publisher rests wholly
in the increased advertising patronage,
which he hopes will follow. This is
not business. It is the abandonment
of the only safe, sound business ground,
that of a fair profit, to embark in the
realm of the fortuitous. It is a change
from a sound, safe, business basis to a
precarious and doubtful one, and,
therefore, we should say that in placing
a paper in a hazardous position,
jeopardizing its independence, there is
a tendency to weaken its independence
and impair its tone.
The editor of The Times assumes
that there is a vast number of educated,
refined and intelligent people in
New York who would prefer to read
a clean newspaper, "not given over to
vulgarity and mad-house methods,"
and that these people, who are now
deterred from reading a decent newspaper
because of its higher price, will
abandon the vulgar papers aud read
wholesome ones, if the price be lowered.
Here are two false assumptions.
We do not believe that refined people
read the "mad-house" sheets, and we
do not assent to the proposition that
intelligent, healthy-minded people are
deterred from habitually reading decent
papers because of the difference
of one or two cents in me price.
That were a pitiful estimate to put
upon the quality of the country's refinement
and intelligence. It is, we
are sure, a mistake to assume that, only
the well-to do buy the high-class newspapers.
We do not think it is so much
a matter of means as of taste and
character, and the intelligent and refined,
whether rich or poor, will be
found, we think, to be the patrons of
clean, honest newspapers.
The Times, we believe, has made a
mistake. The people who now read
the "mad-house" sheets read them because
they are loud aud vulgar. They
are the morbid, who, as the Freueh
say, constantly crave a "new shiver."
They are seeking a new sensation, and
the paper that "peppers the highest is
sure to please." It is a clientage as
unstable as water, and when once got
is of uncertain duration. The temptation
to hold it by catering to it will
be well-nigh irresistible. No orator is
uninfluenced by his audience, and
every newspaper is bound to be influenced,
it may be sensibly, but none the
less appreciably, by the character of
its readers. To make sacrifice of quality
for mere popularity is to throw
away for one thing essential for a genuiue
success, and to get what is of
questionable value.
People who believe that the day of
the one-cent newspapers is inevitable,
are, we think, wide of the mark. The
very opposite we deem to be the exact
truth. The cheap yellow journalism
has been overdone. The people are
urea or it, ana uie reaction ia wuimg,
To suppose that the vogue of the hideous
mass of ridiculous, inane, vulgar,
mendacious stuff that masquerades
under the name of news in the flamboyant
cheap journals is anything but
a passing cra/e, is to wholly misjudge
the sanity and basic common sense of
the people. They are disgusted with
it, and we have the best reasons, based
on the most irrefragable testimony,
that there never was a time when the
people were more willing to pay a fair
price for a good newspaper than they
are today.
BURIED SIX HUSBANDS.
Matrimonial Kecord of a Missouri Woman
Wlio Has Just Married Her Seventh.
From the St. Louis (ilobe-Democrat.
A dispatch from Humausville, Mo.,
announces the marriage there yesterday
of Mrs. Lottie Dougherty to Mr.
B. D. Smith. This makes the seveuth
time Mrs. Smith has wedded. She has
been divorced from uone of her former
husbands, but has outlived them.
Mrs. T. J. Akius, wife of the chair
mail of the Republican state central
committee, is well acquainted with the
bride, and last night gave a GlobeDemocrat
reporter something of the
former matrimonial ventures of Mrs.
Smith. For the lady Mrs. Akins has
the highest regard, and declares that
she is the envy of all the ladies of
Humausville for the way in which she
captures the hearts of men.
Originally the new Mrs. Smith was
Miss Lottie Bridges. In those days
the lady did not live in Humansville.
Miss Bridges was induced to change
her name to Vice. Mr. Vice died and
a man named Depriest won the hand
of the young widow. Mr. Depriest
died, aud bis widow married a Mr.
Milligan, whose wife she was when
she removed to Humansville. After
the death of Mr. Milligan the lady
married a Mr. Dawson. He died, aud
Mrs. Dawson was prevailed upon to
change her name to Crozier. Crozier
lasted about as long as his predecessors,
and soon after his death his widow
married a Mr. Dougherty. About
two years ago Mr. Dougherty died,
and now his relict has joined life and
fortune with Mr. Smith. Once it was
rumored, says Mrs. Akins, that Mrs.
Smith was engaged to be married to u
Mr. Neff, but the marriage never took
place because the prospective groom
was superstitious.
Although Mrs. Smith has been married
seven times, she is comparatively
a young woman. Mrs. Akins says she
cannot be more than 50 years of age
at the most. Her new husband is
many years her senior. Mrs. Smith
has but four children?a daughter by
Mr. Vice, two sons by Mr. Depriest,
and one son by Mr. Milligan. Her
first marriage occurred when she was
a girl of but 15. Mrs. Smith has often
told her neighbors, Mrs. Akins says,
that when a child she had her fortune
told and was informed that she was to
be married seven times. All of Mrs.
Smith's husbands have been estimable
gentlemen, Mrs. Akins says.

Reporter, November 3: Mr. J. W.
FergusoD, who for four years has been
one of Rev. J. E. Mahafley's best
friends, has within a few weeks of conference
given him the cold shoulder.
But inasmuch as it was killed only the
day before and may be classed with
similar treatment from two other good
friends, J. F. and S. H. Hardin, Mr.
Mahafley does not consider it a serious
matter. Mr. W. M. Nicholson, of
Chester and Miss Grace Nicholson,
daughter of Mr. J. N. Nicholson, of
Kershaw county, were married on the
26th instant. They left at once for
Charleston where they spent the remainder
of the week, returning here

him on the happy and importaut
change in his life, aud cordially welcome
his bride. Our Blackstock

LANCASTER-Ledger, November
2 : Miss Agues Barton, aged 88 years,
was seriously burned on Sunday ol
last week, at the home of her brother,
Mr. James Barton. She was kindling
a fire when her dress caught accidentally,
and in a few moments she was
enveloped in flames. Her left side and
arm were burned to a blister. There
is but little hope of her recovery.
The coroner's jury in the case of the
3 year-old child of Mary Phillips, colored,
which died at Jim Robinson's, on
the Stevens place, Friday, returned a
verdict that the child came to its death
by burning. The burning was doue at
the hands of some one unknown to the
jury. The coroner informs us that the
burning appeared to have been done
with a hot iron or by coals of fire laid
on the child's abdomen. Married,
by Magistrate Busns, on Sunday last,
Mr. W. S. Kennington aud Miss Delia
Stogner. Both of this county.
Coroner Young was sent for to hold an
inquest, Monday, over the dead body
of a 2-months-old child of Shep Witherspoon,
colored, on Mr. T. K. Cunningham's
place, which died of spasms.
After investigating the case he ascertained
that the child had been sick for
several days aud the mother was present
when it died. He was satisfied
the child died of disease aud that no
inquest was necessary, so he returned
without holding oue. Review, November

from Columbia, Tuesday. They will
return on the 9th instant to be mustered
out. The mustering out process
is tedious, and is utlended with much

as follows: Captain, H. Fuy Gatfoey ;
Gr>t lieutenant, James Virgil L. MeCraw

Every member of the company who
caunot find time to attend the meetings
of the company, should immediately
turn over to the officers whatever
equipment he has, gun, belt, uni
form, cap, and every article furnished

"JUST AS GOOD."
WE are satisfied that the agents for all
plows besides the Genuine Oliver, in
order to make sales, will tell the fanners
that their plow is "just as good as the
Oliver." They know that the Oliver is
recognized the world over as the most
perfect plow ever made, and that no man
who has ever used one in accordance with
the plain instructions given, has ever yet
been disappointed, and that it is the only
genuine chilled plow made. There is one
important point that often escapes the
attention of the farmer in search of a
plow. He forgets that all plows need
repairs. He also forgets that perhaps he
or a neighbor has a plow that is no longer
. manufactured, the factory that made it
having failed, and the plow, although
considered a good one, is useless because
the repairs cannot be bought, and the
plow that an agent is trying to sell him
may be useless in a year or two for the
same reason. Please bear in mind that
history repeats itself.
Oliver Plows
Are the Standard,
Having been on the market for ahout 30
years, and are made by the wealthiest
plow concern in the world, as well as the
largest, and will be in business .when
three-fourths of the would-be competitors
who are trying to palm off cast plows on
the farmers as "chilled" are out of business.
For the foregoing reasons, it strikes
us that the wise farmer will buy the Oliver
every time, aside from the fact that there
is not a shadow of doubt but that it is the
best.
