Council Proceedings.
isa;;.
in  the
crrc m ways ana Dywords other than
these I can pick out a New Yorker anywhere that he and I may meet, whether'
it he in Boston or in the Rocky mountains. I can do this by noticing how he
pronounces the "ur" sound in such
words as "birth, bird, earth, heard, etc.
All the rest of the country pronounce
those words burth, burd, urth and hnrd.
Not so the New Yorker. He is carefully taught not to do so in all the pnb-
lic schools, as well as by his parents at
home.
The queer little twist that enters so
largely into our language in marring one
of the cardinal sounds that compose it is
thus expressed by our tongues; ur-yith
is how we say earth, bur-yid is how we
say bird. We say hur-yid for heard
and mur-yid-der for murder. All of tis
who were horn in New York have heard
the public school teachers insisting npon
this peculiar twist, commanding the
pupils to put on the trademark as fighting men once wore the coat of arms of
their feudal masters. Most of ns, too,
have heard nice, careful little girls on
the way home from school correcting
careless companions by insisting that
"you mussint say burd; yon must say it
nicely, bur-yid."
Of all the senseless and unmusical and
bad things that are done to English that
is one of the worst, because one expects
to hear, a language at its best in the
greatest city of a country, and thitlier
foreigners repair to study English and
then perhaps to go back home and teach
it with a whole lot of little tricks like
that in their heads, to be solemnly taught
and scattered, until no one knows where
the mischief will end. Of course I do
not want the reader to understand that
very nice people murder the language
in these or any other ways, but the great
masses of New Yorkers, those, who get
their learning in the public schools aud
whose tongues were trained in old New
York homes of the middle class—these
are the victims of this most peculiar
hahit.—Cor. Providence Journal.

Stooping Shoulders.
Apropos of round shoulders, I decided
the other day as I sat in a great public
gathering, drawn from all parts of the
land, that what we need most is not more
currency, or less taxes, or a new banking
system, but a law to enforce sitting lrp
straight. Take 100 Americans—menand
women, and you could not find enough
good shoulders among them to make up
a table at whist. This defect of carriage used to be thought peculiar to the
rural districts. It is not so. City people show it less, hut this is. due to/thej
cunning of their, tailors,: and not tq any
virtue of $ieir. own,"
' I am opposed to meddlesome legislation, but I should welcome the appointment of officials who would go about
and compel the populace to sit and stand
erect, as the old worthies of the Puritan

Garainels and Constancy.
In one of the large confectionery
stores on Chestnut street the girls who
have been there a long time know most
of the engaged couples in town, and can
tell how long tlie sweet entanglement
has been pending. They also are pretty
well posted as to what engagements are
broken. The reason is that one of the
things the engaged young man is supposed to do is to keep his fiancee sivjih
plied with candy. Usually when -a
young man lets T4P Qn his supply of
eandy it is a sign either of a misuhder*
stauding or that the wedding day is near
at hand, for, strange to say, with the
approach of the nuptial date the bridegroom elect generally gets economical
in sweetmeats, possibly "because he is
saving up for the bridal bouquet.—

NEW   YORK'S   DIALECT.
Absurcl-Thougli  It Is,  It  Is   Taught  ia
the Public Schools.
' How many persons know that New
York city has a dialect all its own, and
one that it maintains in purity by teaching it in the public- schools? Many persons have commented <cn the precision.
With which a Nfew Yorker ean spot a*
stranger- the instant the stranger undertakes to pronounce thenauie of the principal streets in the tpwn._ We call it
Broadway, emphasizing the last syllable very strongly. It appears to be quite
a trick to do this, and it is evidently an
unnatural pronunciation, for we notice
that the very great majority of strangers say Broa-wa. So we sjiofc them on
the instant and ask them from what
part of the country they hail, just to
show tlieui that there is something about
them that is not cityfied, and to set
them puzzling about whether it is in the
shape of their hat, or the style of their
shoes, or what it is.
People from the south betray the fact
by calling our Houston street "Hewston
street," as that name is pronounced from
Texas to the Chesapeake, hut we play-
as strange a trick wift another- name;
lov we call Coenties slip "Qnincy slip."
As'no one would do that naturally, we
detect strangers by that pronunciation.
The name of Hoboken is another that
we trifle with, calling it Haibuckeii.
The University of Morocco.
Besides being a university of learning,
the Kairoum of Morocco is also, a caravansary and an inn, in which "are Avel-
conie to steep and to rest all those who
are so poor as not to be able to pay the
small copper coin -which the foud'ak
keeper reov-res before shelter fe given,
and the fact that its doors are wide open
and its hosuitaliry granted without any
restriction whatever is widely known
throughout the empire. — Fortnightly

Odd Custom in Brazil.
A woniau lately returned from Brazil
tells of the curious nomenclature of the
streets of Parti. They are Biblical or
commemorative of some event in the
Brazilian history. It seemed to her
quite irreverent to be told that a desirable location was '■-sit the corner of St.
John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist streets." She went with her uncle,
who was on business, to dine at the
house of a wealthy merchant.
Everything was very gorgeous and
lavish in S.rath American style,'bat oii
leaving she was" fimaged' |o; havti h'ec

nave any washing send it here." It is a
custom there, it seems, for wealthy
households to take in laundry work as
an employment for their large retinues
of servants.—Cor. Utica. Herald.
