Led s, Capitol Hill Enters a Protest. To the Editor of Tre Evastxe Stan: Sre:—I noticed that “R. I. Avenue” makes a ‘warm protest against the suggestion of Lieut. Greene in his report, that hereafter the prop- erty abutting on the streets improved should bear a portion of the expense. It strikes me that such protest comes with a bad grace from that section, for it has been pro- vided betgor — streets, two-thirds of the expense of w! was paid out of the general fund, of which the tax-payers of East Washing- ton paid their proportion, while they got com- paratively no improvements. It is now pro- posed to provide R. I. avenue with new - nigemmoy @ second time, Latepc geod ene goes without anything Dutch Gap ¢anals and mud roads left bythe Board of Works, and “R. I. Avenue” wants the whole ex- pense paid out of the general fund. It seems to me that it would be much more just and fair for that section. which has been once provided with improved streets, to wait ‘until the rest have had their share before it is Provided a second time; or, if it must have a second set of improvements, that it should pay for them itself, at least until the rest of the city has been once served. Lieut. Greene’s report shows that nearly all the money expended since the present form of wernment was established in 1878, has i for replacing the wood pavements, the tt bulk of which has been spent in West — = he leet — the same policy shall be pursued for the future un- til they are all replaced, which he calculates will take three years more. | Now, sir, I want to en- ter a red-hot protest against this policy. There 4s not a particle of justice or reason init. The only fair way is to give to each section its share, in proportion to the taxes it pays; and those sections which did not get their share originally should have it made up to them, before any More is expended on those streets which were ved originally. They have had their share & great deal more. Now let them wait until the rest of the family are helped before they hand up their plate for a second supply. Cariror HILt. ——— MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC. NEW PLAYS AND NEW ACTORS, — The amusements next week will be in the ‘omedy line and will be unusually attractive. 4t the National Mr. Nat.

It abounds in charming music, vocal and instrumental, solos, duets. etc., and the story clearly portrays the difference between the loye of a pure, good girl and the fascination of a worthless woman. The principal characters are by the well-known Min- ‘The Lime-Kiln Club. “T has received a letter from Boston,” slowly remarked Brother , a8 he squinted from Samuel Shin to Waydown Bebee. ‘I has re- ceived a letter from Boston axin’ me fur my ob- servashuns on de inflooence of music on man- kind.

Mr. Miller’s language is vior- us and breezy, and his opinion of Mr. McKee Rankin is quite as positive as Mr. Rankin’s opin- fon of Mr. Miller. As the matter stands. neither one nor the other can be accused of dishonesty, yet the matter is delightfully unsettled. —The great German tragedian Haase, and the great Italian tragedian, Ernesto Rossi, will be shortly acting in New York at the same time.

The domestic dinner of the Greeks was a/| highly intellectual and conversational meal. They certainly did not sit down as we do to de-; your roast beef and legs of mutton purchased | from a butcher; meat was, forthe reason just given. rather an occasional treat than an article of daily fare; and hence the ingenuity shown in made dishes, and the general lightness and wholesomeness of a diet largely composed of fish, vegetables, olive oil and farinaceous “fix- | ings,” to which poultry and various wild birds | were often added. Flowers, myrtle, chaplets | and fragrant scents and essences were intro- duced at the more elegant banquets, and riddles | and anecdotes were passed round for the | amusement of the guests, or verses were | quoted, drinking-songs sung, or speeches from | some tragedy were recited. To the best per- formance of these prizes were attached. A curious custom prevailed with the Greeks, ofeach guest bringing his own viands in a box, or basket. Such a dinner was called “from the hamper,” or a “club dinner,” or “picnic,” or | ‘contributary:” of course the viands were inter- | changed according to the taste of each And we read in Aristophanes of a shabby fellow who used to claim a share of the good things at arich table though he himself brought only an | apple and a pomegranate.

The tendency of the Americans is and has been for many years toward quaint and ex- pressive “slang” for the terse expression of thought. A few years ago it was popularly supposed that only the lower classes of society indulged in this form of expression, but it seems at present to pervade all grades, and the young lady of Murray Hin will talk of “tips” at Je- Tome park in a most nonchalant way, and sug- gests that you ‘take a tumble” or “‘give-us a Test,” with the most ingrain of Gotham’ wordings. yi bes erg ee ete aoe act lorton’s fav comedy, “4 the Plow.” “Too thin” is often heard when the hearer wishes to e: a disbelief in a story; and it may be found in ‘Peregrine Pickle,” which was Be in London in 1761. The expression also to be found in Shak re’s Henry Vill, scene I of “all cryand no wool,” a very common sang expression, is traced directly to canto I, part of Butler’s “Hudibras.” The original reads:— **Or shear swine, all cry and no wool.” wFor the very often-heard ex; ion, “What are you giving me?” indicative of disbelief—no less a source than the Bible is responsible. It may be found in the 38th chapter of Genesis. By slightly twisting the words “in yeas Tuere,” in that good old Latin author, irgil, we arrive at the saying, “To go to the bad.’ “He's a brick,” indicates that the person spoken of is a “good fellow,” and dates from an ex- pression of King Agesilaus, who, on a certain occasion pointing to his army, said: “They are fons of Sparta. Every man there is a cl “‘There’s millions in it,” comes from Mark Twain's novel, “The Golden Age,” and Bret Harte is responsible for “‘Ways that are dark and tricks that are vain,,’ Many of the slang poe in.use are local. New York is responsi- le for “You bet your boots,” “Yes, sir-ee, horse-fly,” ‘‘knights of the green cloth,” and a thousand like expressions.” Twenty-five years CG of the popular phrases was “Syksey, take the butt.” It had its origin in an expression by Frank Chanfrau as “Mose” in “Life in New York,” a very popu— lar play at that period. “By alarge majority” is found in Woolf's play, of “The Mighty Dollar. “Step down and out” is attributed to Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and ‘Not for Joe” is the refrain of a London concert-hall song which was very pocete 10 yearsago. ‘“Dog-gone it” was born in Indiana. From the immortal Shakespeare a great amount of slang is derived. In “Othello” the bard speaks of “‘crocodile’stears;” he also speaks ofa “party,”and from the exclamation ot ‘“Ham- let,’ “You cannot play upon me.” comes “Youcan’t play that upon me,” meaning that the Ups does not t the truth of the story. “He's gone om hee is only anew way of putting “Polonius” words re- garding ‘‘Hamlet’s” love for “Uphelia,” that he wil ing hinted larl, t “Giving him taffy” is popularly 0. be of recent origin. but it is really two hundred years old, and has been in use in Londor for fully that period, Among the men of note of the past decade who have contributed to the slang of the period may be mentioned Andrew Johnson, whose promise, “I'll be your Moses,”is still heard, “Shoo fly” was originated with Ben Butler, as applied to S.S. Cox. ‘On the ragged edge” is the offspring of the Plymouth pastor; ‘Gone where the woodbine twineth’’ was invented by_ Jim Fisk; “To hell across lots” belongs to Brig~ Grundy that it ham Young; “Where it would do the most | Ge: good” came from Oakes Ames, when speaking of the placing of Credit Mobilier stock; ‘The al- mighty dollar” may be found in Irving's works, and “Truthful-James” comes from Bret Harte. “The regular lum tum propah capah” was evolved from the intellectuai true inwardness of Archy Gordon, 4 feuilletonist and journalist of this city. The following conversation between a couple of newsboys in Park row will give an idea of the American form of the English language as improved up to dat: “I told ‘that rooster’ to ‘hump himstlf.’ ” “Did he ‘acknowledge the corn?” a bet.’ If he hadn't, 'd just ‘put o mansard over his eye.’” ‘old your horses,’ ‘he’s on his muscle,’ and could ‘lay you out.” “Not much.” He's only and ‘hangs up his landlord.’ “That's ‘small potatoes, and if I was his landlord ['d ‘sit down on him.” “That would be the ‘correct thing.” You see he's a ‘bad egg,’ and il ‘make it warm for him,’ ‘don’t you forget it, ” All right; ‘let’s take a nip.” Have you got ‘the necessary?” Yes, i met an old chap whowas ‘dead gone’ on piety, and I played ‘innocent,’ and he came down with the ‘rhino.’ ” It is estimated that two-thirds of the slang now in use originated with English tramps and thieves and English writers. Among thieves there is a distinct class of slang which is in quite common use. They de- nominate a sentence of iimprisonmont as “air and exercise,” and call a drink a “ball.” A penitententiary is known as a “boarding— school,” and a surgeon is termed a “bone-set ter.” Money is known among themas “chink,” anda policeman as a “cop.” “Darbies” are hand-cuffs, “earth bath” isa grave, and “eter- nity-box” is the proper name for a coffin Hemp 1s denominated ‘-neek-weed;” a slung- shot is called a “neddy,” while the head is known as the “dimple.” When a man dies he is said to have “kicked the bucket,” and when he is buried he is said to have been “‘put to bed with a shovel.” By means of this slang the thieves of varions countries can talk to each other understand. ingly, although ignorant of the language of th country in which they happen to be. ‘toddy blossom,’ INVENTED BY A WOMAN.
