Pendleton, Or., Dec. 3 Peter Nicols is lying at tho comity hospi tal with an urui full of buckshot. Ho had walked to Umatilla and Cold Spring on a hunting trip, buy ing a gun from Lyud Bros. At Cold Spring, according to his state ment made to the authorities, he met ti German section boss named Baker, and tho two went hunting in dhleiont directions, and when Nlcois got back to the house he found his host sitting on the fence. After n little talk the gun of the lat ter, which ho carried iu his left band, exploded, the charge sulking Nicols In the arm near the shoulder. Baker then went Into the house, to which Nicols ufterward crawled, finding Baker, two men and a woman there. The shot Is believed to havo been purely accidental, although very careless, and the sec tion foreman wus not arrested. He tooK the wounded man to Walla Walla, but refused to pay the hospi tal charges, and brought him after ward to Pendleton. Nicold is seriously hurt. Ho Is 23 years old and says he has 110 home.

The affair was reported to the polico, but no nrrests have as yet been made. No trace of Dean could bo found tiday, and tho object of the kidnapping is a mystery. LATER OF THE KIDNAPPING.

It matters not a brass farthing or a rod cent (which you will) whether ono nays "grade" or "gradient," "shunt" or "switch." "tinned" or "canned" lobster. American Ubo prefers one term. English the other, nnd that is nil. "Itailroad" Is at most a trifle old fash ioned hero nud perfectly admissible. We Miould write It ourselves without hesitation when it fitted tho sentence better than "railway." When we come to words of tho general vocabulary such as "clever," "guess," "reckon," some of them aro Now England or western provincialisms in their own country. Just as "oanny" is or lately was a northern provincialism in Great Britain. Tlioy may bo adopted on either side as part of tbo general stock. It Is coneeivnblo that a word might be freely used by British writers without any sense of local color boforo it had ceased to be provincial In America. We cannot admit, however, that tho question of Americanism Is concluded showing authority for tho word or phrase in English documents of the Seventeenth century or earlier. What ever we consciously import from Amer ica In our own time is not tho less nn American import hero and now becauso It was English long ago. Nor aro wo the less entitled to Import and use it, If we find it good, becauso it is really of American growth. When old au thority can Lo produced wo aro ablo to answer the historical and grammatical purhts after their own manner, which oftentimes is convenient. As facts In tho history of tho langungo these things aro ulwnvM Interesting; ns guides to what our langungo ought to be we can not, for our part, attach any great im portance to tlioin. As Nineteenth cen tury coinage may bo good, so Seven teenth century coinage may be bad. Both should prevail or be rejected on their merits, except where usago has already settled tho word in its right of citizenship. Mr. Brandor Matthews carries the wars into our coasts and attacks "Brit icisms" of Britain. Ho says that Mr. Bagehot used "like" and Sir Charles Dilko uses "without" as a conjunction. Very well, to that extent Mr. Bagehot and Sir Charles Dilko stand convicted of bad English. But wo must wholly decline to bo held answerablo for them or to accept either of them as repre senting the standard or oven the aver ago of English as written in England. Many able men and some great men, even somo creat men of lntrrw, linvo been careless writers. Again, it may bo a British habit to say, "Very pleased." It is not tho habit of careful writers or good speak ers. At ono point wo think Mr. Brand er Matthews makes a deflnito mistake. He treats tho uses of "mihlstors," meaning tho ministers in ofllco for tho thno being, as a growing neologism. Unless our memory greatly deceives us it was tho common form of the last century, and "tho ministry," "tho gov ernment" aro innovations by compari son. Wo did not know that revival of "ministers" was on tho Increase. When wo liavo used it ourselves it has been with a pleasurablo feeling of slight nrolialsm. But if Mr. Drandor Mat thews has observed that it Is coining into fashion again ho is very likely to bo right. For our own part wo should welcomo It.

Tho Provincial Medical Journal tells of a treatment for diphtheria based upon an energetic uso of ice, which is porsovoringly applied both externally and Internally.

Chlorate ol potassium Is also given Intornally iu small dobos.

Every young reader who has been charmed by the wonderful story of Joseph in Kgypt must bo Interested to know how much modern science and enterprise are doing to restore the scenes aud objects ho looked upon, and tho outlines of the very lifo of his gen eration. Pithom, one of tho "treasuro cities" in which doubtless that Hebrew hero and pattern man stored up the surplus of tho harvests of tho "seven years of plenty," has been discovered by Dr. Navillo and excavated from tho sand. It is the city which tho Greeks called Ileroopolis. Doctor Navillo's explorations liave enabled him also to identify tho early camps of tho Israelites, Succoth a district, not a city yi-Hahlroth,' Ball- Zephon and other places, and so trace thoir journey to where they crossed tho Red sea. It seems almost as if the localities of Bible history wero cast by design out side of the path of destroying time. Climato, tho embahuer's art, and tho all covering sand have kept the daily world of the Pharaohs, Hkg an old but Indollblo "negative," to bo brought out In full photograph by nations thousands of years younger than tliey. Men like Slarietto Boy, Mr. Petrie and Dr. Navillo have unearthed and aro still unearthing for us the very hulls and streets where old Egyptians bowed tho knee to Joseph or trembled at tho miracles of Moses and Aaron, and restoring to tho light of day tho in scriptions and somo of the vory papyri which they actually saw and read. It Is a bilent languago those risen relics speak, for tho vowels are all gone out of them; but it requires but little imagination to breatho life and sound Into tho startling consonants tho skele tons of a pait so real and so grand.
