The editor of a Pennsylvania paper called the Blade some time since, in writting op a marriage in high life in the city where it is published, used the words "marri age obsequies" in referring to the ceremony. Of course the friends of the newly married pair objected to associating the happy event with a word usually applied only to funeral occasions, and one of them took the editor to task in a communication. "We are accustomed," writes this correspondent, "to look for better English than this from the editor of our leading county paper. 'Marriage obsequies' is not good English. 'Funeral obsequies' is, of course, proper, andjis used by such authors as Nathaniel Haw y. , thorne, Washington Irving, Koberln Fulton and others, but never 'mar riage obsequies.' What you Jdouot less meant to write was 'marriage nuptials.' " In replying to this the editor of "The Blade" finds himself some what at a loss for words. He be lieves himself right, but has not the authorities at hand to prove it "We never intend," he writes, "to admit anything to the columns of 'The Blade which is not good Eng lish, but we may possibly have been betrayed into it this time. We still bel'eve ourselves correct in the use of the phrase, though unfortunately Tea cannot prove it at this moment. We have in cur office ,a large dictionary, the largest size made, but owing to an awk ward occurrence it is not available ior the particular question. We will explain : One day last fa!l we were writing an editorial cn a scientific subject. Wishing to use the word 'obsidian,' we took down our dictionary to learn the exact orthography. The book was lying open on a chair near us while we transcribed the word. At this point our Gne coon-dog, given to us by the genial Sam French, hap pened to come in. He is a good dog for coons, but the greatest fool of a beast to have around when a man is doing literary jrork which we ever saw. The dog went over where our compositor was at work and, seeing that he was vigorously masticating something, began looking up at him and wagging his tail furiously. The compositor was really chewing tobacco which he had borrowed from us, but the fool dog judged that it was doughnuts or other food, and thought to pet some of it by thus working him self into the affections of the com positor. An open ten-pound can of black news ink "stood oy the stove warming. About the third wag the dog slashed the end of his tail into the ink. We rebuked him from our seat by our desk, where upon the miserable beast assumed a conciliatory air and came up to us matin? a feeble effort to smooth it over; but in bringing his' tail around to one side to show us that it was not so very inky, what should he do but drag it across the open page of our dictionary, com pletely obliterating the word 'obsequies' and a dozen others both above and below it! AH efforts to clean the page have been unavailing. Therefore we cannot look the word up and report to our valued correspondent whether we were right or wrong. But we still think that we were right. . We shall investigate the matter when we go to Harrisburg in March.'' The experience of the Blade editor, thjugh somewhat novel, is not altogether exceptional, judging from appearances. Probably that ! coon dog or some other like domes- j tic animal, is rampant in many print shops in the country, find ooks of reference t ave many blots of obliteration that hinders the full I appreciation words used. of the meaning of I Tin.- I.'iicsi.in infliipnz;!. which i ' " .. .. j has degenerated into the everyday ' ja K, jj,pe iias become an institt;-' tion of such fixed and universal i character that, on the grouud that f.l,,.;iiritv it q liltklllti! V ,y-A vvtivvui jt i ! is no longer aristocratic but' terri j My nnd detestibly plebeian. It j may be interesting however to find ! out that its character was known I and disclosed as long ago as 187i. A writer in Kate Field's Washing ton says that an American phy- Business men who want neat, sician, Dr. Salisbury, found out f tasty stationery get Phelps to do all about it in that year and that ! lheir printing, bis discovery vras confirmed and A speedy cure for catarrh war its value acknowledged in a Lon- J11 everv vase' to don publication in 1S82. The doc-j smoke lt celebrated Havana tor s name for the disease then was filled 5-cent Igirs, manufactured infusorial catarrh ; and Kate Fields prints some charming oictures of the little animalcular organism, the asthmatos ciiiaris, which is re sponsible for all the discomfort and suffering that accompany the dis ease. How much better the suf ferers will feel when they know that the disease ha? been mapped out so many years is a question. The German Emperor has be come so impressed with the fact that the republican form of govern ment is tn tne ascendent, mat in his speech opening the session of the Prussian Diet, he makes a special mention of the wants and interests of the working men of his empire. When as aristocratic and absolute a monarch as is the Ger man Emperor, devotes the larger share of his annual speech to the working men of his realm it is a pretty good sign that the working men's form of government, the re public, is encroaching very rapidly upon the old monarchial institu tions.
