Few words are commoner in tbe language of the newspapes than the word "alleged." To allege anything, if the old meaning be good, is to affirm it with the exact ness of a dispatch. But the parti ciple of this verb has found new service. "Whenever any doubt is felt that a murder is a murder, the deed is softened to an "alleged murder." "Whenever a man loses his watch and his senses, and can not tell exactly how they went, the lamentable occurrence is chroni cled as an "alleged robbery." According to these new linguis tic lights an allegation means a guess. "Phenomenon," applied to something wonderful and abnor mal is a common instance of high flown vulgarity, much in the mouths and on the pens of persons who can hardly have compassed the truth that a shower of rain is just as positively a phenomenon as is a shower of frogs, a calf with six legs, Miss Crummies or an enormous gooseberry. "Immense" is an adjective seldom used but in such a. manner as to confute its own meaning. Thus, in an ac count of some discovery beneath an ancient ruin, it was said that skeletons of great size were found, one of them being of "the immense length of 7 feet 10 inches." If the length of this skeleton was really 7 feet 10 inches, or 10 feet 7 inches, how could it have been "immense?" So, too, we read of walls of "immense" thickness, and pumpkins of "immense" girth. Are there, then, no foot-rules or measuring-tapes to reduce! these immensities? A "conflagration" is not the burning of one house; it is the meeting of flames, as when a street, town, or village is fired in several places. "Culminate" is a verb which is incorrectly used, unless in respect to something that has reached the limit of its possi ble height. "When, therefore, tbe career of a wrong-doer is said to "culminate" in the lowest depths of degradation , the term Is mis plied, even to being turned upside down. So is the term "assiduous," whon employed to strengthen the idea or perseverance, if the particu lar kind of perseverance intimated be locomotive and not sedentary. So, too, is "preposterous' unless elearly denoting the figure which rhetoric describes as "putting the cart before the horse." Macmil lari's Magazine. 'Rise up William Heilly." "I do not think a person should be waked at morning, and for this reason when a man falls asleep he is in the shop for repairs, as the railroad men say. His frame and all its intricate machinery is being overhauled and made ready for the next day's work. The wear of the previous day is being repair ed. Nature is doing that herself. She knows what the tired frame needs just as she knows how to make the heart throb and send the blood coursing through the veins. Then she takes that tired frame, lays it down on a bed, surrounds it with the refreshing air of night, covers it with the soft darkness and lets the man rest. 'Tired na ture's sweet restorer, balmy sleep,' visits him, and as the hours wear by his energies are renewed, his strength comes back, and finally, when morning breaks and the sun light steals through the lattice,, he opens his eyes and is himself again. Or if he is early to bed he awakes with the cock's crowino-. Now who shall go to that man's side an hour before he opens his eyes and say to nature, stand aside and let him get up. He has had enough of rest! "Well, nature will say: 'You can take him if you will, but I will charge him with an hour's loss of sleep and I'll collect it out of his bones and nerves and his hairs and eyesight. You can't cheat me, I'll find property to levy on.' " ""What would be the lesult if a man were to lose sleep habitually for & number of years?'. - "You are a reporter?" "Yes." "You work how many hours a daj?" "Fifteen. I go to work at 12 in the day time and quit at 3 at night." 'How old are you now?" "Say 23." ""Well, when you are 30 in years you will be 55 in aches and ailments older than I am. Go ask your morning paper printers how they feel! Are their steps elastic are their eyes bright are they fagged out ace they drag ging out their lives V Put them beside the men who do day work, and how do they compare?" "You say a man ought to sleep all he wants to?"' "Yes, and so should a child. A baby should sleep with its mother, a child should be sent to bed early and be allowed to wake of its own accord in the inorninar-' Transatlantic Troubles. A London special says: The various extracts from leading American papers telegraphed to this side of the Atlantic are ac cepted as oficring a satisfactory assurance that the government of the United States will permit no act which could rightly be charac terized as a breach cf intei national good faith. It is believed here in circles which should be well in formed upon such a subject that, though no formal representations i nave oeen made ou eituer siue oi the Atlantic, inquiries are making by British representatives in the United States into the attractive New York. I may say public un easiness in London has subsided greatly under the influence of the supposition that all the chief con spirators are now in the hands of the authorities and that the police have accounted for all the explo-j sives shipped to or manufactured I in this city. This comfortable be lief, however, is not shared by the government, ana tne vigilance oi the police is, therefore, if anj thing, increased, so that even law yers' clerks going into law courts or to committee-rooms of the House of Commons are compelled to open their bags for inspection by detectives who are posted ev erywhere. If there arc any American participators in dyna mite plots now on shipboard bound for England or Ireland, they are running a tremendous risk, as every incoming vessel is carefully searched and suspected persons are shadowed from the moment they set foot on shore. The de tectives, too, are working with the assistance of full descriptions that have been obtained from numer ous approvers in every ramification of the conspiracy. The penalty that awaits expected American plotters during whose voyage the new Act has been rushed through, is twenty years penal servitude, which is quite as bad as hanging. It is said that while a party of friends weie making the rounds a few days ago of establishments where creature comforts are kept in bottles and sold by the glass, one man, whose turn it was to "treat," led the crowd into a fur nishing store and asked them what they would have. One ordered a shirt collar, another took cuffs, a third asked for a scarf pin, which, it is to be presumed, he took "straight." A reporter of the Norfolk (Va.) Virginian, recently referred in that paper to a conversation with Prof. Cromwell, the world-renowned art exhibitor, wherein he states that he had some year or so before suffered excruciating tor ments from rheumatism, and that he had tried all kinds of medicines and so-called cures all without effect. He heard, however, of St. Jacobs Oil, and lesolved to give it a trial, which he did, and he stated that its effect on him was almost magical. A .complete cure was ef focted, and since then he had nev er suffered from rheumatism. But in order that he might be at all times prepared for the enem, he never traveled without carrying in his trunk a bottle or so of St. Ja cobs Oil. Hervousness, peevishness, and fret ting, so often connected rfith over worked females' lives, is rapidly re lieved by Brown's Iron Bitters. Old Pits in California. The English spell the name of Pit River with an additional let ter, as if after tne name of an emi nent statesman. But the above is right as the name is derived from the deep and dangerous pits that once made a vast region known as Pit River Valley, very dangerous ground for strangers. These pits, dug in trails and passes by squaws, who carried the dirt away in bas kets, were from ten to twenty feet deep, jug-shaped and covered with twigs and reeds and Ipaves. At the bottom lay sharpened elk and deer antlers; aud sometimes they sharpened flints and spears pointed up to receive the victim. Even if one were not disemboweled on first falling into tne pit, the ugly shape of it made it not only impossible for man, but even the most savage and supple wild beast, to climb again to the light and darkness and a lingering death was the ine vitable end. These pits, of course, made the land a terror, and it was not until as late as 1S5C that this most lovely valley in all California was fairly possessed by settlers. Once in possession, the white man of course socu found out and marked the location of the secret pits, and they gradually filled up as they fell into disuse. Miller. P0W3ER Absolutely Pure.
