It has always appeared to nie that the greatest diffi- culties experienced by writers and speakers whom duty or position frequently calls before the public as such, arise from an ignorance of the phrases contained in this dictionary. It is a well known fact that some of our leading authors, journalists and orators owe their prominence as such to their experience as reporters ; and what takes years to accomplish in a newspaper office, or otherwise, is here presented in the compass of a book of 300 pages. Editors, reporters, orators and authors invariably oe- come 00 by a long and careful study of such phraseology, and those who will follow in their footsteps must do likewise. Without application and industry it is impos- sible for a person to excel in eloquence. No one ever became a distinguished pleader, preacher, speaker or lecturer without previous labor. He who wi|l excel in any art must be distinguished by his enthusiasm for that art which, firing his mind with the object in view, will dispose him to relish every nficessary labor. Atten- tion to the best models contributes greatly to perfection in the arts of speaking and writing as in everything else. In the most trivial kind of composition, in writing a letter and in common conversation, people should learn to express themselves with propriety and precision. Of its utility in preparing speeches and lectures, and in composing generally, there can exist but one opinion, and that too decidedly favorable to need any apologetic comment here. Much to the same purport are the re- marks of some of those who have glanced through the examples of my pro8^;ectus. In it. however, I do not I i !•■ <■ ' t ^..^. — IV — claim originality in the fullest extent of that term ; yet, upon inspection, the most superficial observer will im- mediately perceive the entire arrangement to be my own. The thorough knowledge of a language inplies its ready, flexible use in every form, or the ability to read, write and speak it. Of these, the first is acquired with comparative ease, but the case is different when we have occasion to speak in public, or write for the Press. To do this satisfactorily implies a previous study of the various ways in which the same thought must sometimes be expressed ; for we must sometimes be ready to place the same idea in different points of view and express it in different language. The only prac- tical way of attaining this end lies, I submit, in ac- quainting oneself with such phraseolo^ as this. £ven those whom long practice has rendered familiar with the resources and flexibility of language may some- times find themselves embarrassed by s^nionyms, or in want of the proper phrase to convey their exfut mean- ing. Memory will sometimes fail. So that ah may have occasion to refer to a work exhibiting the various ways in which words are applied, and furnishing them with a system of written elementary phrases to serve as models after which to arrange and construct any sentence, the application of which may be attended with doubt. The student or speaker desiring to obtain fluency of language, will derive unspeakable benefit from the occa- sional perusal of its pages. In it will be found a por- tion for all classes of society, from the most illiterate to the first orator or writer of the day, no genius being so original as not to benefit by its use. To professional men and students in general, and all those desirous of becoming very fluent and ready spea- kers and writers within the limited time necessary to familiarize themselves with its contents (and so spare themselves much tedious trouble and research), the book is particularly recommended, being admirably adapted to impart to them that fluency of expression, couched in precise and elegant language, peculiar to leading news- paper men, and orators and authors who make this phra.seology a special study. There is another class of literary workers to whom this dictionary will prove of great utility, as the best — V ..^t'.. possible drill book that could be put into their hands ; I mean stenographers and young reporters and speakers to whom it stands unrivalled as a'guide. These remarks are especially addressed to that unfairly treated, though hard working body of men, the official stenographers of Montreal, to whom justice is sometimes so scantily meted ou*^. It is sincerely hoped that when such persons have in- telligently tested its merits they will lend their influence in favor of its general circulation. I am convinced that it requires but little intelligence for the student to duly appreciate the comprehensive study which, in this book, is given him to pursue. In reading, the student becomes too interested in the subject to think of choice phrases, or take the trouble of writing them down as they occur or strike the fancy. In this volume he is spared all such tedious work by having about 15,000 select phrases printed in good type. Next to sound logic comes the mode of putting it; in precise and elegant language, giving to every word and synonym its own meaning and value, and expressing the same idea in several ways, which a finished speaker or writer should ever be prepared to do, and which in- variably distinguishes him in ordinary conversation from all others. For the public generally judge a man from a literary rather than a scientific standpoint. They are more interested in ascertaining whether he be a good speaker or writer than anything else. Science is gene- rally concealed, whereas, literature invariably comes to the surface in the parlor, the drawing room, the com- mittee room, the debating room, on the street, on the platform, in the church, in courts of justice, in legal documents, &c., &c., and through the public Press. The book contains none of those quotations from poetical, classical and scientific works which are only very rarely used or referred to by writers or speakers, — nothing but the current language of the thoroughly educated gentleman or lady who are invariably distin- guished by their ready ability to express the .same idea in various ways. We sometin^es buy a book for its choice language, or pay fifty cents or a dollar to listen to a distinguished orator. In this volume will be found the choice lan- guage of many orators, editors and reporters, at a very ^•^-^ , ,y ^fiv-^n'*' '* — VI — low price, considering the labor involved in it, and the pains taken to put it in a presentable shape before the public. The fact that it is unique of its kind (all efforts to procure anything like it, by mail or otherwise, having hitherto proved ineffectual), should, I think, entitle it, apart from its intrinsic value, to a conspicuous place in the parlor and library. ;. < \ It is a matter of surprise that this department of knowledge has been so long neglected, beinff so intimate- ly connected with public and private life ; out it is gra- tifying to find the interest there is at present manifested throughout the Province on the subject of education. At such a time when the minds of the people are alert to this matter, the perusal of these phrases should not be forgotten, an acquaintance with them being indispen- sable to the distinguished wrii> r, scholar or orator. It is well adapted, too, to instruct the youthful mind and accomplish an object hitherto lost sight of in all bran- ches 01 tuition. I trust, then, that these my labors may be fully com- pensated by its geneiral use, and that the people will bear in mind that it is not merely the profits of the work I seek after but their general information. Should I accomplish my ends in this particular, I shall consider myself amply paid for my trouble and ex- pense. I beg to thank the public sincerely for their generous patronage which has so stimulated my efforts to be useful to them as to have induced me to hasten the publication of another work on which I am at present engaged, and which, I hope, will prove equally accep- table to them. r .

Accept. — The novel point raised in connection with the subject reveals the fact that it is the only acceptable solution of the question at issue. Pass a measure Hccep- table to the country at large. It Sx.nply means that his statement is accepted with disfavor. While the people are probably too conservative minded to accept this solution of the problem they are sufficiently liberal to support a crusade aiming at the abridgment of such powers.

Acnmoniotua language, Act. — He has given expres- sion to the puerile complaint that they were not acting within their rights in meeting her demands, and that the action of the meeting has oeen impugned which I can qualify as not being the case.

Instead of taking an active interest in his affairs, and acting a dignified part. He gave no reason for the rash act more than that he was tired of life. Action. — They are held in readiness for immediate action. They are digesting their plan of action. To take decisive action. England's action is assigned as the immediate cause of the outbreak. Pass resolutions condemnatory of his action. Such action would be open to be misconstrued. A regular furore exists over his action. Take action on it.

Act upon his suggestion to pass it over as being a purely personal matter. Act on my advise, otherwise your efibrts to disperse them will meet with stout resistance. Actual. — There is seemingly no actual necessity for it. The actual facts. Actuate. — -As they are actuated by French sympathies they loathe the idea of German dictation ; but their ut- ter helplessness preludes all possibility of interference. Actuated by a desire to plHce him in the unpleasant po- sition of opposing their wishes. Actuated by spite, by bitter hatred, by self inteie.«»t. They are not actuated by improper motives, but their position is liable to mis- apprehension. They are beyond all question patriotic. A similar feeling actuates me. — 9 — Adapt. — The theory that the thorough utilization of our resources cannot be ohtained until our volunteer force is adapted to the needs and requirements of the country is untenable. Adapt your views to the rapiclly altering circumstances of the country. He has the faculty of adapting himself to ciicumstances. With a special adaptation to its present purpose. It is pecu- liarly adapted for that. Ill adapted. It is admirably adapted to their wants. It confers unpon you doubt- less some advantage adapted to your circumstances.

An unscrupulous editorial against our adaptation grossly inaccurate from end to end and teeming with misrepresentations. Add. — It is needless to add that I paid her a tribute of appreciation, and put forward her views through the piess. Disaster has been added to disappointment. It will add to your business facilities and lend additional eclat tc the celebration. The wholesale demolition of fences adds considerably to the beauty of the street. It may be added that the audience burst out into thun- ders of applause. To add to the eulogy pronounced by this long array of disinterested witnes.ses would be to add fragrance to the violet or hues to the rainbow. Marriage is such a burlesque ending he added musing. In addition to the usual attractions of Summer resorts, there are other privileges which should be a considera- tion when choosing a summer home. Addtice.—ThiB fact is adduced as evidence that race and religion were put forth as a justiiication for using the revolver ; but police interference which met with stout resistance is assigned as the immediate cause of the outbreak. The verdict is not in accordance with the evidence adduced. He adduced — cited — precedents in support of his action, and displayed much persistence in doing so. Various arguments were adduced in sup- port of this, and in favor of the view that the air is vitiated. Adreas. — A confusion of ideas seemed to pervade his mind while addressing himself to this point. Adequate. — There is no adequate conception among them of the vastness of the resources and possibilities of the country. Their views on ^his point are various, but they all doggedly adhere to the idea that the under- ti I \ i j ■ t HI I .m — 10 — taking should be abandoned in view of the heavy ex- penditure it would involve. "Disappointed" is a word hardly adequate to express my feelings and unfeigned regret. No other term is adequate to express the situa- tion. Adequate compensaticn. Adhere. — Though he displayed much persistence in pressing his points to a decisive issue they may rely upon his firm adherence to the principle and basis of his policy. The persistent silence they have so long maintained does not warrant him in promising that an appeal to the country is within the range of possibilities. Adhere to the train of thought running through the dis- course, and observe the modes of its connexion. They are decided on adherence to his policy. ; v%' , ^ri^ Adjourn. — The debate was adjourned on his motion. It is altogether impracticable to adjourn on the day named. Adjust. — To adjust difficulties. The matter is satis- factorily adjusted. . ^"' ' ,^^ Adjunct. — Shorthand is a useful adjunct to knowledge in every sphere of life. It is regarded as an indispen- sable adjunct to the proceedings. Administer. — I considered it my duty to administer a rebuke to him while administering my ecclesiastical affairs. It is quite in order that a vigorous chastisement should be administered to him. A competent authority administered the oath. J-cZmi^.^Though France has reason to be jubilant over the hew constitution yet there are points therein which admit of ambiguity, and must form the subject of debate. I cannot see my way to admitting that they have been influenced by such sentiments. I do not admit such conclusions, nor do I admit your contention. It must be admitted that it is criminal to exact labor at such a rate. For the sake of argument let it be admitted that it is so. There are exceptional cases where a request of this nature is admissible. Its necessity and desirability are universally admitted. The first fact all thinking people admit as a fact ; the second is worth considering. I unhesitatingly admit that it ifi a question that admits of some discussion. He admits his dual responsibility of editor and proprietor. I admit the possibility of doing so, as well aj your disclaimer of any assent to it. He fully admitted the gravity of such considerations, — 11 — but substantially admitted the impossibility of enter- taining them. Fatal admissions. Adopt. — The mueting adopted a series of resoluutions expressive of its belief that resort to home-rule would be certain to eventuate in actual civil war, and so decided on adherence to their policy as a matter of expediency,, if not of right. Adopt for your guidance his opinion in shaping your future, and a more conciliatory tone. He advised the adoption of his plan and such precau- tionary measures as the circumstances admit of. The resolutions do not advise the adoption of such a course Its being adopted here and there will be abundant opportunity to test its value. Its adoption comes within the domain of practical questions. The means adopted to repress the sedition and stave off the end will but hasten its approach. You might, and with an appear- ance of reason, have adopted his view of the subject. The light-fingered gentry have adopted a novel mode of travel. He proposed the adoption of the main points of the project. I adopt your view that that is the discip- line they are enjoined to adopt. Adopt his suggestions and policy of conciliation. The stand he has taken of urging upon the council the advisability of doing so is the course of action I am adopti^ig. Do not adopt, sensational methods of gaining popularity, but adopt a. more resolute attitude. The opinion is prevalent that they will adopt tactics to set the case back. I heartily congratulate you on the adoption of the improvement scheme now being voted on. To adopt a defective mode of speaking. Adrift. — Having cut Alsace adrift from the Empire the probabilities of war with Germ*iny are not very remote. To turn adrift penniless. Advance. — The chariot of progress advances, crushing beneath its wheels all those who would fain impede its course. Advanced ideas. I advanced the view that, etc. There is force in the argument advanced by him. Her course had been deliberately determined upon in advance of my coming. To advance objections and pleas. Con- sumption in an advanced stage. The balance of the argument is strongly in favor of the considerations advanced by you. It is indispensable to our advanced state of civilization. New York has taken a step in advance of Paris in that direction, and is in advance of' i. ii^ »l f il f*. i _ 12 — ' ' 'Chicago in so far that it has more schools. Several theories have been advanced to account for her disap- pearance. Advantage. — That his children should lack those educational advantages does not say much for his taste. It will not redound to your advantage. To foroffo advantages. I have been enormously advantaged by it. It is an advantage comparatively insignificant by the side of the other. I tooK advantage of the occasion to draw a parallel between them, the drift of the argument being tnat the necessity for one follows the other as effect follows cause. Capable of imparting advantages of extensive utility. It has the advantage of speed. So much for the advantages of the place. She was seen to-day to the best possible advantage. The first day from a financial point of view was the most advan- tageous. . Adverse. — He did it under adverse circumstances at- tended often with disgrace, and finally returned home sure that his hard fate had redeemed him. Much of the -adverse criticism upon his plan for adjusting the dispuU is due to a misconception of the functions of the com- mission. Advert. — He adverted to the importance of the ques- tion, and the expediency of its being discussed. Advertise. — The paper is recognized ay an advertising medium. Advise. — Advices from the other side voice the gene- ral opinion that those repressive measures are indispen- sable to our advanced state of civilization. Do not ad- vise it against your conscience. Advocate. — He advocated 8trinu out V bim o drop owing e best ;be or- , tbere ircum- AmUa. — Do not think it aiiiisH if I speak so. Amount. — Taking all things into consideration it will not amount to much. The worst feature in this class of litigation is that the delays in the.se cases amount to a practical denial of justice. There id no law bearing directly upon the case, and, in consequence, the field is open for an unlimited amount of interesting speculators. Ample. — Ample prepanitiuns. Ample time intervened between the two nateM. It is am ply sufficient for my demands. So far as physique was concerned, I had ample material to choose from. The pure consciousness of worthy actions abstracted from the views of popular applause is in itself ample reward. Anecdote. — The hero of the anecdote laughed till he cried. Anger. — I was angered by his conduct. He was purple with anger. Anim,ate. — An animated controversy. Animated by a spirit of hostility. The competition was animated. Anew. — The old misunderstanding between them has broken out anew. Animosity. — It would keep alive sectional animosity. Daring late years we have hoped that animosities which prevailed in former years I.ad disappeared, g.nd that the country was in the path of prosperity and peeCce. Annownce. — The announcement of her death brings to mind some romantic incidents of her early life. He announced the results of the concern previously to doing so. A book is announced from his pen. His death is announced as having occurred in Paris. The announce- ment of his elevation has been received with warm approval. The policy announced will increase the diffi- culties which the late government had striven to diminish. She announced herself specially delighted with the splendid view afforded. The order of the pro- cession has been announced. He has announced his purpose to withdraw from further public service. It was announced in the most formal manner. The announce- meiit that he would attend has given rise to considerable gossip. His resignation on the score of ill-health is oflScially announced. To announce intentions. Every I chief, of eminence is announced as participiating in it, jThe announcement of the sale drew a motley crowd of I fortune hunters. The announcement of his death will 2 f lit. 'A I ' — 18 — doubtless recall many memories. The announcement was made in the regular course, but it is no secret that he hhd a leaning towards me. Every effort was made to get him to announce his retirement from politics, but to no effect. Answer. — It answered my expectations. It answers all purposes. The little game did not answer. He answered the charges seriatim. He is answerable for hfr doings. Antafj ynism. — In antagonism to the corporation. From what we can gather he left unconvinced, and the old antagonistic feeling has broken out again. Anticipate. — It will, it is anticipated, lead to immedi- ate measures being taken to repress the nuisance. There is IV lively time anticipated. I don't anticipate much opposition or trouble. I was there in anticipation of further developments in the case. I anticipate a suc- cessful issue to my mission. Appall. — Those are considerations which appall the moral sense of the world. Appeal. — No right-minded man whatever his ostenta- tious objections to vaccination would use such weapons against it. Vile appeals to prejudice and passions and patriotism. There is no surer way of testing a friend than by ^appealing to his pocket. Appeals to them to disperse were futile, and then followed piteous appeals for assistance. I appeal to you for information. Appeals to fanaticism. He appealed to them on the ground of nationality and religion. There is an appeal to them to awake from their torpor. Appear. — He appeared to advantage. It is made fully apparent that such is his aim. I was awed by his appearance. He resembles me in general appearance. He put in an appearance on the day designated. Stocks are apparently unaffected by the casualties from across the lines. From the facts oi the case it appears that he appeared upon the scene. Their costume appeared to great advantage. It appears rational to say so. An imposing appearance. The news is in keeping with their dismal appearance. Her behaviour appears to have been beyond reproach. The trouble appears to be in regard to that. He is going to appear before the altar of Hymen, and join the benedicts. It does not appear a coQclusive test of the ship's sailing capacity. The mimm - 19 — death-like stillness and tameness of the alGPair became terribly apparent. The trip was apparently uneventful. Append.— Appended are noticea selected at random ouu of thousands of a similar nature. There is a note appended to the statement. Applaud. — They burst out into thunders of applause. Many lovers of the game, and notably, the friends of the team, put in an appearance and ^udly applauded their efforts. He was rapturously applauded. Apply. — Such is the designation applied to the new tariii', and, in view of all the circumstances attending its passage, it cannot be denied that it is singularly appro- priate. I use it in the limited sense in which it is usually applied. It applies with a tenfold force to your church. They apply themselves to their work with a zeal which never abates. It is commendable when applied towards any meritorious object — emphatically so, when devoted to the interests of religioa. The prin- ciple does not here apply. The application of these principles to any one department of instruction consti- tutes a particular method, and varies according to the nature of the study and the end proposed. Those objections apply with equal force toyour opponent who has never been tried in public life. Shorthand needs no elaborate appliances ; paper and pencil, and the acces- sories are complete. If society gossip be well informed, the question does not apply to the man who is an appli- cant for the post of inspector. I am debarred by my position from making application therefor. Appoint. — His appointment is a matttr of fact. He was so hilarious over his appointment that he indis- creetly sought to drown his joy in the flowing bowl. Apprehend. — No danger or trouble is apprehended. I am apprehensive as to the safety of the structure, the j scene of my career. I Appreciate. — An appreciative audience. He is a re- tiring, unobtrusive, not to say, dull man; but he has not suffered to any appreciable extent. 1 appreciate your z jX m my behalf, and your needs and ettbrts. It has I many advantages as it is made with the least appreciable I effort. He has his reward in popular appreciation. I There was a good house, and the audience was apprecia- I tive. I Apprize. — He is kept constantly apprized of her con- I dition. 1 1 hi T 20 — ! : j w ■ Approach.- — The time is rapidly approaching when the Governor will be approspched about the appointment. There is nothing to approach it. It is approaching com- pletion. The amount taken up approaches SIOOO, but it should vastly exceed that. 1 have no expectation that his motion will approach success. It is approach- ing an important crisis in its history. It is approaching perfection. There are indications of the approach of a series of hostilities. The approaches to the river are filthy in the extreme. He subsequently approached me with the same end in view. Matters are approaching a crisis. She cannot approach her in beauty. He is re- ported to be approaching convalescence. He has been approached on the subject of the proposed taxation. No system can approach it, much less improve on it. Active preparations are on foot for the appraaching electoral contest. The subject was approached with frankness and moderation. He looks with horror on anything approaching protection. He precipitately fled on my approach. He spoke for an hour, and though dis- claiming any desire to approach the subject in a pas- sionate manner, intensified French feeling before he got through. Appropriate. — The arms are appropriated to various purposes. Appropriate it to your own personal use. Eminently appropriate. Appropriate the amount for yourself. Every conceivable thing that was portable was appropriated l>y the robbers. An appropriate name. I think it appropriate to call your attention to this question. Mottoes appropriate to the circumstance in honor of the man who has proved a failure as a leader. Approximate. — They wear drapery more or less ap- proximating the European ideal. Approximately, it is one in 1000. Approve. — Give it your unanimous approval. The new cabinet has been approved. I unqualifiedly approve it. Dressed in the most approved French style. The papers approve of hi.s action. His action in dismissing them has been approved. There were some marks of approval. Music taught on the most approved method. I highly approve of the object of your paper, conducted as it is on an honest basis. Apt — Before drawing down the curtain on this course of lectures on what may be aptly termed philosophy, — . 21 — iS8 ap- it is The Lpprove The kissing irks of lethod. iducted course )phy, permit me, in imagination, to come before you and the loutlights of popular favor, and — hat in hand and hand on heart — to thank you all most sincerely for your kind and patient attention, and for the large measure of suc- cess that has all a,long attended my humble efforts. Arbitrate. — The arbitrator of the destinies of Europe. Argue. — This argues that he is sanguine of defeating me. You wont make much headway with such argu- ments. He argued against the idea that liberals are bound to follow their leader. He is within his right in arguing against annexation. He brought forward un- answerable arguments in so far as his character was concerned. Arise. — The interesting question arises whether it is possible to associate them with the fact that. &sc. The discontent arising out of their attempt to economize at the expense of the public is assuming large proportions. Notwithstanding the many difficulties arising from the inclemency of the weather a fair success has crowned their efforts. The benefits arising from it. He is out of danger unless complicatiens arise. Unless some un- foreseen necessity arises. As soon as a convenient pretext arises. That is one good that will arise out of the present difficulties. When occasion arises. The trouble all arose from the gas question. A difficulty has arisen about it. In order to prevent misapprehension arising out of the tenor of a paragraph in the paper. Strange rumours have got afloat arising out of the orange question, A coldness has arisen between them on that account. No need will arise for it. In quarten^ likely to be well informed the opinion is plainly stated that the mischief arising from it will by bhe Fall be likely to have acquired grave proportions. A great storm of oppoiaition arose according to the account fur- nished. Disturbing influences have arisen. There are numerous alarming rumours in circulation to the effect that a misunderstanding has arisen A slight un- pleasentness arose caused by oue of them using un- complimentary epithets in allusion to him. Should a conflict with the authorities arise I have no doubt of the issue. Circumstances may arise to render such a step necessary. Diseases arising from physical excess. A new complication has arisen in the French difficulty. Those ugly developments lUrose from the fact that it i!^, 1 r, il f i i - 22 — furnished no settled principles. Contingencies may arise. This condition of aflTairs arises from the heavy losses sustained. ' His injuries are serious, and serious complications may arise. The incidental benefits arising therefrom. Many obstacles will arise in your path. The consensus of opinion is that a crisis will arise to force a modification of the cabinet. An issue has arisen between France and Germany. It has raised my hopes. Let us reflect on the evils arising from such negligence. The question naturally arises — and here is where con- troversy comes in— whether there is any defect of efficiency as the result of such simplicity. Oh this point it would not be fair to dogmatize without mastering the system. The chief interest arises from the certainty resulting from their changed conditions. The nuisance arising from it has been a subject of complaint from residents in the neighbourhood. A new feature has arisen in the case. ISi end of complications arose. The impression is growing that a litormy argument arose on licence. He carried the national weapon, the shillelagh, and prepared to use it should provocation arise. An emergency has arisen. Arm. — All the powers are armed to the teeth. Arovyse. — They have aroused themselves to the im- portance of a thorough system of prevention. It would arouse the indignation of the world. They have been aroused to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. The in- cident has aroused the old feud in .the bitterest form. Anti-French feeling has been aroused. It has aroused the deepest resentment. To arouse prejudices, passions, enthusiasm and suspicions. It has aroused something akin to horror in many breasts. Public attention is aroused on the subject. His speech aroused unbounded enthusiasm and sympathy, and moved tl^e audience to tears. I'll awaken his hopes and arouse him to a sense of his duty. Being of interest to me it naturally aroused my ire : it was galling to me and I testily said that when older he would discover that sugar is better than vinegar. Arrange. — A compromise was arranged on such a basis. Arrange for a meeting. They have arranged preliminary matters and submitted their conclusions. All the details for the auspicious event have been arranged. There was no end of trouble to the arrange- ^ISEiR^iyi — 23 — ment just come to. They are perfecting arrangements for the execution of the sentence against him, and he will be the first victim of the new mode of punishment. Arrant. — Such arrant nonsense is seldom met with outside of insane asylums. Array. — An unparalleled array of leading actors. Arrive. — No definite arrangement has been arrived at. The conclusions arrived at can be accepted as worthy of credence. An agreement has been arrived at by which he accepts his terms. They have arrived at an ultimate settlement. Long after fche hour for the entertainment had arrived. I agree with the conclusion or decision arrived at. He has arrived at the years of discretion. The theory arrived at is that, etc. Arrived at the office I found a letter awaiting me. In the face of such facts it is difficult to arrive at such a result. The latest denoument in the scandal is the arrival of the lady herself, which gives a new complexion to the affair. Arrogate such right to yourself. Art. — A professor of the tonsorial art. Article. — Jam and other articles of consumption. A despatch from a correspondent whose mendacity is notorious, is the text for his article. Ascend. — His star is in the ascendant. The sun of the old land is in the ascendant. Ascertain. — The narrative of the assassination differs from the ascertained facts. I find difficulty in ascertain- ing the issue between us. Ascribe. — As far as can be ascertained, the cause of death is ascribed to heart disease. It is ascribed chiefly to the improved state of business affairs. His difficulties are ascrib<^d to gambling which he patronized ardently. He ascribes want of push to them. He ascribes the failure to the evils of individualism which has borne the most direful result. Aside. — Aside from its size there was nothing pecu- liar about it. Ask. — They pertinaciously ask contributions to that end. Aspect. — That is the aspect of the case as it presents itself to me. He has seen poverty in every aspect. The aspect of affairs is threatening. The whole aspect of the place is changed greatly, notwithstanding the un- favorable aspect of the weather. In ,4..i- — 24 •| ir li' Aspersion. — Don't throw unworthy aspersions upon his name. Assail. — To a<98ail teachings. Asswdit — Tt 19. Impregnable to all the assaults made upon it. He is assailed with a virulence almost without precedent in the annals of controversy. How kindly nave they been fortified by Nature against the assaults of adversity. Assent. — To this I assented. Every one m'^st assent to the latter conclusion. Assemble. — They were lost in the vastness of the a^S'^iniblage. A mere assemblage of rules is unfitted to satisfy one dr.iirous of speaking a language. In less than a month parliament will have assembled, Assert. — A dispatch asserts that an agreement exists between three powers, presumably, France, Germany and Austria. He is beginning to assert his im))ortance. Her outraged dignity asserted itself. I don't L':.">w what amount of truth there is in those statements; nor do I mean to assert that, were the alleged facts substan- tiated, they would bear the interpretation which you put upon them ; the very fact of such an interpretation be- ing put upon them is suggestive of danger. This is equivalent to asserting that it was made out of abso- lutely nothing. I assert it without any hesitancy. The natural sentiment is asserting itself. There is not a tittle of foundation for the assertion. An enthusiastic meeting was held for the purpose of asserting their rights and improving things. I simply assert facts which have come under my notice through personages who are thoroughly versed in matters of etiquette sur- rounding royalty. ' ^ Assiduovs. — Labor assiduously for our interests. Assign. — It is scarcely conceivable that it is due to the cause assigned. To assign a task. The reason assigned is ill-health. Assign to each branch its place arid degree of importance. He is fully able to meet the requirements of the parts assigned him. We feel borne away upon a rapid tide to the future, regarding which assertion were rash and speculation idle. He asNigned on my demand. Assimilate yourselves with the people of your country. Assist the charitable cause. It materially assists the — 25 — memory in the retention of facts. It cannot assist in giving effect to the measure, but may rather impede its progress. Shorthand is an assistance in many spheres of occupation. Associate. — In early life he was associated with the press. An association begotten of close intimacy. Leaving that out of consideration, few people associate a writer with hard work. His name is imperishably asso- ciated with the history of the country, and with all the leading enterprises. Thenceforward his interest in politics was associated with daring speculation. Carry out the principles of the association, and secure a proper representation of your views. Assume. — He has assumed editorial charge of the paper. To assume an easy manner, cost, duties, etc. His illness daily assumes a more dangerous form. The operations of the liberal clique have assumed gigantic proportions. To assume management, attitude, etc. He assumed the part of the Mock Duke with marked suc- cess. It may safely be assumed that, etc. The ex- change yesterday assumed an air of bustling activity. The question has assumed a new aspect. He assumes the leading rdle. This is a most unwarrantable assump- tion. If Russia assumes arrogant airs in her dealings she will iind herself confronted with the unpleasant spectacle of several powers united for mutual defence. Assuming that the view entertained by you prevailed. The question assumes that I am an indifferent spectator. To assume rc'.ponsibilities. Within the last few days the suicide mania has assumed a new form. It may be assumed that an effort will be made to obtain his con- sent to enforce the newly formulated restrictions. I am not far out in assuming that it will be extensively availed of. His assertions are mere assumptions which he has failed to prove. To assume the labors of a can- vass. It is a mistake to assume that, etc. You are w.ong in assuming that, etc. It will assume a much higher importance if its study be made subservient to a knowledge of the sciences. Nature has once more as- sumed her Winter garb. They assume that the disease will disappear entirely if resistance ceases. Assuming that view to De correct, what then ? The fever has as- sumed a virulent type. I am willing to assume that you are innocent. This version of the story assumes i ^'i ! 1 — 26 - more probability when it is remembered that, etc. It is rapidly a.ssun.in^ a menacing aspect. The symptoms are assuming a more threatenmg character. The result is that the outcasts of London are assuming a defiant tone. His features assume an expression of gravity. They assume it to be the result of his operations. There is no ground for such an assumption. They assume that the inquiry will be wide enough to admit going in- to all the bearings of the subject. It is absurd to assume that he has made his political move at the behest of Russia. He stands high as an author, and it is too much to assume so. The case is rapidly assuming a similar phase to yours. The affair is assuming a more innocent appearance. Matters have assumed a new shape. The rectification of such a system may be fairly assumed to be in process of accompll-shment. The pro- ceedings did not assume the' dignity of a debate. His illness has assumed a grave phase. The evil threatens to assume huge proportions. The task of responding was assumed by me. He went over the ground already covered, and said tnere is danger in assuming such powers. His disease has assumed a new character. It is correct to assume that in view of the fact, etc. His paper, in assuming the speech to be a refusal to disallow the act, declares that the theory of provincial rights has been carried so far as to endanger the cohesion of the country. He registered under an assumed name. As- sumed emotion. The strike, though likely to spread, has not yet assumed very threatening dimensions, and there is a feeling that if moderate counsel does nbt ore- vail, irritation will follow with natural or assumed dig- nity. His trip assumed the shape of an ovation, though the justice of the verdict is as generally conceded as is the undue severity of the sentence. The assumption arose through an omission on his part. Assuming the generally accepted story of their criminal relationship to be true, it should not be pushed to a conclusion. Assure. — Twelve months' trial with other systems | added to my own experience in teaching, may (Justify me in speaking on this point with more assurance than I otherwise would. I begged to assure him that it was no impertinent curiosity that made me desirous of be- coming acquainted with the cause of the affray, which I j had witnessed, and he had put a stop to in a summary 27 — manner. . It is an assured success. He makes t up to ladies with an assurance that is amazingly successful. The proposed enterprise is almost an assured fact, but there is a grim possibility of a clash between us. There is absolutely no publicity, and if you decide to write to us you can rest a^sur^ that none but ourselves will ever be the wiser for it. Astir. — The town was astir at an early hour. Astonish. — My astonishment knew no bounds. Atom. — There is not an atom of foundation for such as sertions. • , . . . Atone. — Atone for deficiencies. Attach. — They attach only slight political importance to his visit. Doubtless there is some signification attached to it. Professions of undying attachment to the principles of economy. No blame or responsibility is attached to me. By virtue of its associations some importance is attached to it. Sv^me iui/erest or impor- tance is attached to the change. The clock attached ta the house. The responsibilities attaching to me, and which are liable to diminish or increase. I am not in- sensible to the odium and disgrace attaching to their acts. Various transactions of a suspicious nature attach to his name. There is no sacredness attaching to their 8y.stem of interment. What degree of etegance or vulgarity attaches to these expressions ? It is a place to which fond remembrances are attach«^d. There is a special interest attached to the experiment which sub- jects its practicability to the test of intelligence. The odium attached to the study on account of its difficulty has been removed, as proved by the enthusiastic manner in which it has been welcomed. Little credence is attached to the statement. The proprieties attaching to his position. Attack. — He made it a cloak for his attack. A pie hastily stowed away brought on an attack of stomachic disturbance. I am attacked upon the score that I am a foreigner. His attack or onslaught makes it apparent that I have not fallen upon a bed of roses. Fiendish attack of a candidate for the lash. Attain. — He had attained the age of 65 at his death. No tangible results could be attained under such un- favorable auspices. The ends of justice have been attained in punishing him. They have labored indust- ^rT \i\ m ! - 18 - . viously to attain the success they deserve. He congra- tnlatecl them on the efficiency they had attained. To attain this he has shown himself capable of such conduct. The educational high standard has not been attained without unflagging energy and perseverance. To attain longevity. The long sought desideratim has been attained. The riot had at^ined such dimensions as to ?:et beyond their control. The disease ha.s attained earful proportions, It is attainable by a person of the meanest capacity, and is the result of mere practice. How is this double object to be effectually attained. Its -attainment for practical purposes is hedged round with difficulties. It is an infallible method towards the attainment of that end. Time is required to attain perfection. He has attained to full manhood. Though she will never attain the position reached by them, she has shown the possession of marked talent. The disease has almost attained the proportions of an epidemic. He has attained a high degree of proficiency. The losses •attain the dimensions of a national calamity. No scienjiiific discovery ever attained such results, and its merits have been so well tested as to render its failure ■an utter impossibility. \ . : t" Attempt. — They are im*plicated in a furtive futile attempt to assassinate him. Their at^tempt is not so much to dishonor you as to insult and vilify your brother. The murder attempted was not followed by the usual results. His attempt was a bold bid for victory. An unsuccessful attempt was made to fire the stable. It would be rash to attempt to pronounce de- finitely as to its general success or failure. Nothing they are capable of attempting can crush the paper. His attempt to escape was foiled. Attend, — It has been attended with satisfactory re- sults. His visit was attended with particular signifi- cance. There were no scenes attending the declaration of the result of the trial. To attend balls. The remnins were attended oy a large concourse of friends. Sub- , stantial rewards have attended the agitation. The •difficulties attending its development. The u.sual devo- tional services are being largely attended. The circum- -stances attending his death, albeit they are infinitely <]istressing, present no novel features. It is an accom* |>lishraent attended with so many evident advantages — 2» — that it stands in no need of recommendation. Not ft. single untoward result has attended vaccination. Any ill considered measures on their part may be attended with fatal results. The mismanagement attendant upon such mistaken ideas cannot fail to be attended with bad results. His escape was attended with serious con- sequences. 1 he symptoms attending it. A large num- ber of notabilities attended the ceremonies. The meeting was attended with a great deal of loud talk. . In many instances it would be attended with serious inconvenience. There was a good attendance with a> fair sprinkling of ladies. Every attention that love could give was unavailing. The circumstances attend- ing it would not warrant any notice being taken of the matter. The rules of etiquette are carefully attended to. There are some painful circumstances attending her death. As to the fatal result that is said to have attended certain cases, they don't throw any light on the subject ; bnt when it shall have been sciei)tifi- cally tested, it will be time to pass judgment upon it. I hold the opinion that the Cronin mystery has come to the surface again, and been brought afresh to public attention. » r Attest. — It is a forcible attestation of the fact. The large number present attested to his popularity. The- fact was attested beyond a doubt by the official record. Flags flying at half mast attested to the fact. Attitude. — The people are assuming a threatening attitude — a hostile attitude. The attitude of his paper which, for personal motives, has so wantonly attacked him is being universally denounced. It presages a radical change in the government's attitude on the tax question. lie stood in an easy attitude. Toleration' rather than persecution is their normal attitude towards- us. They must change their attitude with regard to- the government before a settlement is possible. Attract. — The office (situation) has some attractive features. It is attracting crowded houses, a 1 available standinu room being occupied. It is attracting a good deal of notice from outsiders. The subject has not attracted the attention it deserves. The result has attracted marked attention and interest. A woman of attractive appearance. The chief attraction was Sarah who, on her appearance^ had an anthusiastic reception*. t f 'It i ! Nil ^ 30 — I I I! m im It had no attraction for me. It is the attraction at the theatre — the centre of attraction. I was attracted by her cries : I wish to qualify that. Attribute. — I attributed the remark to you. Their repulse is attributed to his action. His death is attributed to various causes. The statement is wrongly attributed to me. They attribute tne cases to the stagnant matter germinating the disease. The diffi- culty is attributable to over competition. Their failure is attributed to rash speculation. There has been a dis- position in some quarters to attribute those words and the attacks upon him to my inspiration. He attributes the gloomy condition of trade to competition. The re- sult is attributable to that. I should be loth to attribute such a purpose to you. The increase is attri- buted to the excess indulged in on Sunday. He attributes the present evils to its abandonment. This object the paper goes on to unfold at length by saying that we deliberately attributed it to his absence, a circumstance to which we did not make the most distant allusion. His misdeeds are attributed to whiskey. It was im- possible to attribute his crime to any motive save the promptings of r* malicious heart. To whom is the original authorship attributable ? Those occurrences are attributable to their excessive zeal. The depression in trade is attributed to these causes. Disappointment is attributed as the cause. He protests against the war- like ideas attributed to him. It is attributed to the fact that, etc. Few attributes of character are so charming as that of gracefully acknowledging one's error. The cause of his brutality is attributed to jealousy, and the cas;;' will be held back to await fur- ther developments. He attributes the loss and defi- ciency to the mode in whidh the credits are expended. AvAition. — It is under the auctioneer's hammer. Augur. — Defeat of the ministry is looked upon as a bad augury for France, and so they have been dissuaded from resigning. It augurs well for the expedition of business. The change in the weather augurs ill Tor the sick, and is likely to induce new sickness. Auepices. — The festivities were opened under bright auspices. Authority. — I have your authority for the news and the statement. It has been learned on very good — 31 authority that such is not the case. He is a recognized (accepted) authority on the subject. The statement cannot be traced to any authentic source. lie pointed authoritatively to the door. He is in hot water with the authorities. It is so reported on the best authority — indisputable authority. The passage has been ex- ploded by critics as not authentic. His authority is not weakened in any degree. No authentic news has been received as to his fate. Don't be duped, he is hand in glove with the authorities. Avail. — That is the only available means you can profit by. He stuck to the invention until all his avail- able resources were gone. I will avail myself of my privileges, and send all available troops to the front. They avail themselves extensively of its advantages. Nor were their Christian labors without avail. It availed him but little. There is not a single man avail- able for promotion. His efforts availed nothing. An attempt was made to do so, but without avail. It would not avail you much. It is not available to me. In this case nothing will avail. They have availed themselves of the fact that, etc. It would be of very little avail. His efforts were of no av-ul. I availed myself of the opportunity to the utmost. He was stricken with para- lysis, and nothing could avail him. They united for their common welfare, but without avail — all futile efforts. Seeing that it has such scanty resources; it was the only available issue under the circumstances, but I did not mean to fasten the slightest blame on you. After suffering untold agonies the doctor was called in, but to no avail. Aver. — He avers that he pleaded the excuse that he wished to see me. He avers there was nothing to inter- cept the view of the spectators. Avenge. — He will avenge the attack. Avenue. — They are watchinjj all the avenues of e«tra- tion had caused them to keep judiciously in the back- -^ 33 — ground, while the labor advocates held forth among the Far stretching dense crowds. Backward. — Trade is backward in all departments. The season is backward. He was not backward in do- ing it. Baffle. — He has baffled their efforts to land him in durance vile. To baffle skill. He eflfectually baffled their hopes. vi -. > Bandy compliments. Bane. — Headache has been the bane of my life. It has a baneful influence. Bar. — It is a parliamentary formality which bars any amendment to a motion. Barrier. — Break down the barriers of prejudice. We have come to a fine pass if the possession of wealth is to Ije a barrier to the aspirant of legislative dignity. I will challenge any man barring yourself. ■- • Base. — It is not easy to base an opi|iion on his ability. It is based upon insufficient knowledge, or radically mis- taken ideas. There are no grounds on which to base a claim for delay. The refusal was based on the ground that, etc. The base of operations. His claim to dis- tinction is not based solely upon the fa^t that he was bishop, but rather on his eminent fitness for that high office. The charge is based upon the allegation tha^ she is dead. The political principles upon which party dis- sensions are based are altogether ignored. It is based largely on ignorance. Far from there being any ground on which the court could base reasons for a discharge, it was quite the reverse. The scare in connection with the cholera is based on no facts whatever. Tho suit is based on the ground of negligence. The case is based on a claim of wages. Those are the reasons upon which a demand for his recall is based. The view that the loss will reach $1000 is based on the fragments of evidence obtained. It is base and oulpable in the highest degree.. His decision is based on the conflict of testimony given. The appeal is based on the pretension that he has no jurisdiction. He fell on his base in an undignified fashion. He pointed out that the assumption on which it is based is altogether unfounded Basis. — Its commerce is on a sound basis. The paper will be on an independent basis. I accepted his basis for a settlement with slight modification. The Irish qnes- 8 4..- I! m y\ — 34 — tion is to be settled on the basis of Home Rule. They are using Turkey as a basis of operations against Russia. It will oe settled on the basis of the Berlin treaty. They have made some progress in the' work of formula- ting a basis of union. Those are the facts upon which his arrest is based. His disappearance is inexplitoble, except on the basis of his having met with an accident or having been foully dealt with. A system on such a basis is in full operation. He has been battling with difficulties, but has at length succumbed. Bear. — The page bearing on the matter. Bear this in view. He bore out my statement. Common sense should be brought to bear with good effect upon their politics. The explanation is childish, and will not bear investigation. This is all the more necessary when it is borne in mind that &c. The conversation bore directly on the political crisis. She bore unflinchinghly the stanv of the densely packed throng. He bears a questionable reputation. That is its legal bearing. You must bear the consequences of your action. Observation certainly bears out that conclusion. His singing will not bear comparison with others we have heard. The seed sown years ago is bearing fruit. It bears no relevancy what- ever to the laws. She bore it bravely. It bears un- mistakable signs of violence. Does he intend his words should bear their literal meaning? I repeated every word bearing on the case in point. This exactly bears out the view expressed by me. Questions bearing upon various subjects. He bore the brunt of the work. No other cause being apparent, that bears out my assump- tion. He is unable to bear the strain of constant pro- secution. The seeds of disease generated can be borne on the wind to all parts of the city. He bears out the view he has given expression to. This statement is borne out by others. , Beat. — His heart beats in consonance with the strug- gling peasantry. He is taking a retrograde step when his endeavors are bearing fruit.

Beneath. — It is assessed beneath its value. Benefit. — The contraction of frequently occurring words will prove to be beneficial as saving time and labor, besides facilitating the reading.

This brought up a delicate question. They brought him to his feet in a temper. Death brought relief. His doings are being brought to light. Possibly there may be some way of bringing; about the desired result. Financial disaster may be brought about under those contingencies. A compromise between them is not unlikely to be brought about. Every year brings new experiences and evolves new possibilities. Time will bring it to light. Brisk. — We are about to see brisk times. A brisk gale ending in a fall of rain. Brow. — What is it, I inquired, arching my brows. Bristle. — A clever counter attack bristling with savage personalities. Brood. — More trouble is brooding.

They are just what the occasion calls for. The time calls for new men. He called attention to the fact that, &c. His services were called into requisition. It calls for more than a passing notice, I cannot call it a prejudice but a well founded dislike. I did nothing to call for such unjust remarks. Attention has been called to their outrageous conduct To perform such a feat calls for a large amount of time, diligence and untiring patience. Ciuculate. — It is not calculated to awaken any parti- — 39 — calar pride on his part. Altogether, to-^ay'a de¥elop« ments are calculated to put us in li^t spirits. It is calculated to breed dismay in the blackest human breast. It is calculated to undermine discipline and exasperate the people withaut serving any useful purpose. It is difficult fb jMiculate tlie loss. His recall is calculated to estrange France and Italy. Capahle. — He is capable of contributing a telling in- fluence. The hall, which is capable of liolding 2,000 persons, was filled to its utmost capacity — to suffocation. That it may not be so must be the wish of every one capable of a generous thought, and it should be with us all an object of steady endeavour. That dress is an im- portant factor in health and one very capable of im- provement can be doubted by no one. All he promised is capckble of accomplishment. It is capable of success- ful aoeomplishment. It is a lack of decency and dignity of which I am not capable. Gapctcity. — He has been connected with the paper in various capacities up to that of managing director. Everything but the capacity for enjoyment. He has more capacity in his little finger than fifty belated knights. Canvass. — The possibility of a rupture between the two countries is being canvassed, the king having suf- fered a relapse.

The debate was carried on with moderation in temperate language. To ^*:;.- ■ t; !■'■ •\ !l ^ 40 — carry dut designs. To carry provisions into effect. To carry out ideas. This kind oi thing was carried on for some time. Isolation cannot be successfully carried out. Dont carry your views so high. He has carried his point. He eifectually carried out the law. He carrieo out his suicide iu the most determined faslTion. He trusted to the popularity he enjoyed to carry him throu^. Sincerity and honesty carry a man through many diffi- culties. His conviction does not carry with it the stig- ma that attaches to less serious offences. He carries himself with a military air. Case. — -His speaking with fluency does not meet the necessities of tne case, It is a sad case of misapplied energy. The case was argued quite at length. In case he shall be compelled. Here is a case in point There is this consolation in the case, that, &c. Except in an emergent case. A case of mistaken identity. The fact will have no bearing upon the case, The case is an un- usual one to say the least. To deal with a case. The case has excited considerable feeling. In the nature of things the case must be left mainly to lawyers. Cast. — They must remake themselves so far as to cast off the servile traits of their character. He is of a de- cidedly Irish cast of countenance. Why cast a stain on his qualifications. Perhaps our esteemed contemporary (paper) will cast its eagle eye over the list^ and let us know how it figures out such a majority. He cast odious and unfounded imputations on me. He is one of those beasts of burden which bear tamely whatsoever is cast upon them, or those spaniels that lick the foot that kicks them. Casual. — ; Our acquaintance was entirely casual. Enough casualties for one day surely. I took a casual glance at the advertising columns. No serious casualties among the passengers. To a casual observer it gives the impression that, Szc. Catch.-^lt hec&me a Work cf extreme difficulty to catch his eye (the speaker's). The epidemic caught us unprepared. He was not caught in the act, as was the other. Cause.— To cause inconvenience. It is for the best interest of the cause. A commotion was caused by a scuffle between them* He caused a terrible h&vqc and uproar in the housa His disappearance has caused iiipwa I - 41 - much speculation. He has made an extremely laudable record in the cause of charity. Fill the vacancy caused by his death. The rumour caused great excitement in commercial circles. It has caused considerable comment, but it is stated on indisputable authority that he has taken illegitimate means to enlarge the number. The question claused a flutter. The report caused intense excitemeniu The announcement caused a great surprise. I am not f i*iondly to the cause he represents. It caused a sensation. It caused the most uproarious laughter. A sensation was caused by the announcement. The cause of the trouble is an old feud between them. A tragedy which has caused a profound sensation, was enacted yesterday. Quite a consternation was oaubed by it. Their successful efforts in the cause of emigra- tion are attracting widespread attention. You may yet have cause to regret the action you have taken. That is the prevalent cause of the failures. The base of operations has caused unmixed satisfaction. It is the causo of physical degeneracy. A feeling of personal spite was the immediate cause of it. It causes me no concern. His withdrawal could not cause any undue excitement, it has caused gossip in legal circles. Com- plications have been caused by their excessive zeal. It will popularize their cause. It is causing a stir through- out the city. That is alleged to be the cause. He caused a little preliminary breeze by such a question. His health is giving cause for anxiety. It caused a terrible hubbub. It would cause a glow in the hearts of the people throughout the world. When the newd got out it caused quite a sensation. They are in each other's company to such an extent as to cause some gossip. The rain has caused enormous dama.ge. He excels in making the best of a bad cause. Increased I taxation caused ill-will against the authorities. The [generality of men seldom. have charity enough to hear the cause before they pronounce sentence. The caase of royalty is irretrievably lost. Quite a commotion was (caused in official circles by it. Somewhat of a com- Imotion has been caused by Germany's action. It caused lintense irritation He is of an erratic disposition, and jhis peculiar freaks have caused him to lose caste with lis friends. Not being in accord with French custom khe stipulation will cause a delay in the arrangements. 't. M — 42 — He has cauHed a sensation by advocating the abandon- ment of repressive measures, and considerable comment has been indulged in. Don't permit unreasonable causes and prejudices to sway you. His vagaries have 4!aused quite a ripple of excitement. Caustic. — There were some caustic comments on the result Caustic remartcs. ' .w Caution. — As much caution and prudence as }'ou can command. Ceaae. — Patriotism ceases when hope takes flight. It has ceased to be available. The ceaseless misrepresen- tation of rival interests and flippant and ignorant criti- cism. I take this occasion to caution you against it. The demand has ceased. Don't cease your eflbrts in be- half of peace, but act on the aggressive towards Turkey in the meantime. The occasion or event was celebrated with fe8tivity---with the usual pomp and impressiveness. Cement. — -The relations whi i 1 — 48 — I the face of misrepresentation and prejudice from rival interests, on the strength of its superior merits alone, it has steadily wo^ ^ed its way into public favor, and won golden opinions from it. He appeared under citation. Claim.. — His claims are superior to yours in point of age and wisdom and other qualifications. He claims relationship with her. He has no claims to distinction. You will add another to your many claims upon our gratitude. I have never claimed, as one of the preroga- tives of free thought, the right to be coarse and offensive. He claimed he was sick. I claim to be an expert at it. He claims he was misquoted in his interview. A num- ber of them claimed on several occasions to have contri- buted the necessary amount. I don't claim any credit for that. He is a claimant for the estate. He claims kinship with you. Clamounr. — The tendency now-a-days is for people to clamour for their rights. Clear. — What it pieans does not seem clear. Before assistance arrived he had cleared out. It is expected, in a vague way, to clear up the thick atmosphere of oriental diplomacy. Endeavour to clear an avenue of exit. The evidence of crime on his part is clear. Such supposition is clearly untenable. Clirtg. — Cling to it with tenacity. Close. — With the end of this month the time closes. The discussion is closed. He closed with a pathetic ap- peal to the jury. I will only close by making an ear- nest appeal. An appeal which, by anticipation, has, I am certain, found weight with you. The proceedings have just come to a close. One thought more, and I'll close. Close on a million. Clothe. — He is clothed with extensive powers. Cloud. — The smoke poured out in great volumes or clouds. Cliie.—No clue as to the origin of the fire has yet been found. No clue has been obtained to the murder. A clue rather indefinite, it is true, but still a clue has been found to it. ' They have been thrown off the clue. There is no tangible clue to his identity. Cognizant. — -He is cognizant of his movements. I am not cognizant of the relations in which they stand with | each other. Coincide. — I am in possession of facts that do not I — 49 — coincide with his statement. It is a curious coipcidencd that they have come to death in the same manner. Melancholy coincidence, husband and wife die the same day. I entirely coincide with you in opinion. He per- fectly coincides with my views. Collapse. — According to your version of the agree- ment the negotiations are likely to collapse. The " Times," an out and out< liberal organ, has collapsed. The Tories slunk away quietly, and the debate collapsed. The discussion collapsed, and the tax speeches proceeded. Disgust and despair at the utter collapse of the in- former. The ice suddenly collapsed. Color. — His escape gave color to the rumoured con- spiracy. Combat — Combat their prejudices by moral suasion. He successfully combated his suggestion. His preten- sions of being a representative Canadian are vigorously combated. Combat with .all your energy the groundless prejudice existing in your mind that you incur addi- tional risk in being vaccinated. They are determined to combat their growing influence. To combat modem errors. His objections were combated one by one. (7om6iw«.^Several rea.sons have combined to bring iiiis about. Let us combine for a common purpose. Combine resolution with prudence. They made a com- bined attack upon him. He combines the abilities of a profound scholar with the sympathetic heart of a fatherly friend. Result of the disruption of the cotton combine on the trade. It is imperatively necessary that they combine for self-defence against their attempted extermination. Come. — Be he reckless or careless, he will have to come to that. He came in for a pretty severe handling. He came to grief, but he is none the worse for his mishap. Nothing more will come of it. The agitation will not come to anything. The day of reckoning is coming. We have come to an agreement concerning the points of difference between us. He came in for a share of public attention. It has come out that he proposed to hire rooms. A feeling of sadness is evoked by the dubious outlines of the coming era. He came into con- flict with parliament. I have come to this determina- tion from the conviction that it is the best. That is where its usefulness comes in. They have come to & 4 ■i: :. '■ I I i! 1# mi I It commands a your notice, a moment of — 60 — final decision upon the measures to be taken. Let us come to close fighting (in an argument, controversy, etc.) No good will ever come of injustice. The case came up be- fore the Magistrate, the judge refusing to sit on the case. Duggan, who completed the quartette, came in shortly afterwards, and skipped the town. Coming ages. They came in the expectation of hearing sentence pro- nounced, and seeing the closing incidents of the trial. GoTwrnand. — He commands a large influence, and is making remarkable strides into our confidence. An interest commanding large resources, ready sale. Commend. — I commend the letter to His cause has nothing to commend it. In enthusiasm he commended it to our admiration. I com- mend the whole matter to your notice. It should com- mend itself to all. His conclusions are such as will commend themselves to many minds. They commended his, practical good sense. I commend it to your special attention. To commend movement. Punctuality has its own reward, and will commend itself by its results. It is superfluous to commend it. We commend a pur- chase of the book without prejudice to what else of excellence it contains. I commend to you the reasons urged by him for abandoning the project. I commend to you the study of shorthand, feeling sure that its acquisition will shorten your wcrk. The jury were commended on their mode of procedure. Comment — There is much comment upon the irony of fate in the circumstance that his resignation should have come about as a consequence of a divergence of opinion. It is a matter of general comment. The papers comment on it in a similar strain. The news- papers, without exception, comment at length on the arrangement as vague. Her visit has given rise to end- less commentaries, opinions and comparisons, some grant- ing the palm to one, and some, the other. Commit — He declined to commit himself in reply to some queries, but said the question had no existence outside the columns of papers. They committed some irregularities. It commits the common error of con- fonnding questions of opinion with questions of fact. He is committed to stand his trial. To commit parlia- mentary indiscretions. Before you commit yourself to near is at Cc He i Co spect probfl Co^ is by mentfi of the with He is Con throng Com with ( with \ — 51 — final and definite action. He committed suicide on account of the waywardness of his daughter. A crime unwittingly committed. Impelled by some irresistible force hO commit crime, it will be interesting to see how near their theories tally with the facts when his career is at an end. He is committed to reciprocity. Common. — It is something above the common run. He is by common consent the best man. Connmotion. — There was some commotion among the spectators. A commotion between them is not im- probable. . Communicate. — Though communication is cut off, it is by no means behind the times in modern improve- ments. It was decided to communicate the substance of the report to him. I am in weekly communication with him. To communicate a decision, details, facts. He is sullen and uncommunicative. Compact — A compact crowd. An immense crowd thronged into the house. Compare. — Biting is a pastime that is indulged in with comparative frequency. It compares favorably with what we have been accustomed to. His terms compare favorably with . mine. No system compares with it for simplicity. It is only a trifling affair, as com- pared with the Japan flood. Compass. — He has no intention or design to coo pass his object by any concealment of facts or chicanery, but hopes to reach his end by full, free and open discussion of every phase of the matter. Compensate. — Its rewards sufficiently compensate for ability and education. It somewhat compensates for those losses, but the general effect has been disastrous. To compensate for this, barley has been an inferior crop. Com,pel. — He found himself compelled to drag into discussion an event which transpired years ago, and which redounds to his credit. We are compelled to no- tice the broad fact that their employment is attended with the best results. He was a forcible speaker when compelled to action. This compelled his resignation. Force of circumstances compelled him to leave his board- ing house. I deeply regret being compelled to call your attention to it. Compete. — ^Competitive examinations. He is fully competent to deal with the trouble. He is a complete ^A\ '■'§ '%! 1 5* — 62 — master of his subject, and speaks with great power. He is master of a competent fortune. I am content with a competency. CoTnpliment.—ile complimented me on my personal appearance. Complete. — There is a growing desire to complete it. Calcvlate.- — As many pretenders were calculated to complicate matters his own claim was waived. There is a complicated case on in the courts. Complicity. — It is a sign of the times that he has un- dertaken to prove his freedom from complicity in crime. Comply. — The request was complied with with ala- crity on the understanding that, sue. He threatens to chuck it all up if his demands are not complied with. Some delay occurred in complying with the require- ments of the law, but all the arrangements have been perfected. The questions comply with their conditions. Com^pose. — He was as composed and nonchalant as the most unconcerned spectator. The idea is in the air or at least hidden or stowed away in the brains of some enthusiastic gentlemen who are looked upon as having more imagination than ballast in their composition. They showed unmistakably the mettle of which they were composed. The crowd appeared to be composed of the more respectable class of the community, the rough element being conspicuous by its absence. Compound. — Human nature is so compounded that, &c. Comprehend. — The recent interview was of a very comprehehsiv« character. Religious toleration in its most comprehensive sense. Comprtae. — The gentlemen comprising the party. A tribe comprising 900 is taking strong and active mea- sures to do so. , ; : V : v ? , v > Compromise. — If England refuses to be compromised by their action, well and good. The defendants are en- deavoring to compromise. Anything in the nature of a compromise would be flagrantly unjust. French dignity and honor is compromi.sed. He is in a compromising position with the girl. He has offered to compromise the liabilities and the difference. A proposal for a com- promise. It is about certain that our interests will be compromised, with that object in view. He never com- promised himself by keeping questionable company. — 53 — Compute. — A dozen at the lowest computation. The amount of mental work a man can do is almost beyond computation. '^ i ,^: , C(yi}ceal. — To conceal opinions. I will not conceal the fact that, &c. It is concealed in mystery. Concede. — To concede demands. It is generally con- ceded that his election will put a period to his own term as leader. I am making preliminary preparations to concede his claims and rights. They are conceding commercial facilities in that quarter. To concede a re- quest. Some concession must be made on that point. Ii is conceded that people entertain different opinions aa to the standard of honor that, &;c. I concede that it if useful. They will not concede a single point. Conclu- sions may be fallacious, but the right to seek out con- clusions must be conceded. It should be conceded that they belong to the category of virtues. The diamond is conceded to be superior in value to the ruby. It is con- ceded he had no peer as a pleader. It will readily be conceded that to string two words together is to econo- mize time and labor, and, therefore, to add materially to the speed of writing. Upon this basis his election must be conceded. Germany's conceding the principle of non- interference is a basis for discussion. It must be con- ceded that he is a thorough going Irishman who speaks out. Conclude. — He concluded his remarks with a refer- ence to her death. Conceive. — Offers of assistance in every conceivable form are pouring in. I conceived the idea of writing a controversial work. It can be more easily conceived than described. I cannot conceive it possible that, &c. He conceived the idea of establishing an institute. I cannot conceive a more solid basis upon which to lay its foundation. They have a narrow conception of our duty. Such I conceive to be the true source of the grave evil now under consideration, flis conduct is not excusable on any conceivable grounds. You see clearly now how mistaken is the common conception of his per- sonality. It is difficult to conceive how any sane man can derive pleasure or satisfaction from it. It io diffi- cult to conceive a more thorough piece of political dema- goguery. The most thrilling feats ever conceived. I always suspected that American politics had some queer ■1! ll: m ■'■A I ! i' — 54 — ramifications, but 'vhe wildest flight of imagination never conceived anything so delightuiUy improbable as this. He conceived an unholy passion for her. Every kind of conceivable machine. ' - /* — . «ut Concentrate. — He is the incarnation of concentrated thought. ■ Concern. — There is agitation in various quarters throughout the city concerning a widely circulated rumour that, &c. Whether he does or does not, I do not care to concern myself. It is the largest concern of the kind. There is every reason for congratulation as far as the value of the articles contributed is concerned. I am in no way concerned in it. This is a matter which concerns the city. It is a question in which all are alike concerned. I am not concerned in knowing your future fate. Some concern is felt as to his whereabouts. Mo- ney is his chief concern. They are frightfully handi- capped in all that concerns making their way in life. His life is a matter of no concern to me, but the blow (flood) must come j«rith terrible effect. That is a paying concern, a manufacturing concern. As may be imagined, I there is little or no gossip in town concerning him. •5 Concert. — Concerted action is necessary to overcome the liability to, &c. Conciliate. — He said so with a conciliatory smile. He lives exclusively on mutton, and takes no pains to conciliate his father. Concise. — He gave concise evidence. Conclude. — He concluded by insinuating his opinion that, &c. The evidence against him was conclusive. They have concluded to take matters into their own hands. The examination shows conclusively that poison was administered. To jump at conclusions. He con- cludes his remarks, or observations thus : On conclusion of his day's work. A fitting conclusion to the sermon. The concluding game proved the most closely contested. The conviction that education, as commonly under- j stood, is no preventitive of crime is becoming daily more conclusive — crime has rather increased than diminished. I find conclusive evidence of it. He is hopeful of a successful conclusion of his mission. Putting this and that together, I came to the conclusion that, &c. There is one objection absolutely conclusive against it. It is the only possible conclusion to come to. -^55 — They will conclude he has allowed his temper to get the better* of his judgment in dealing with the matter There is conclusive evidence against him. The evidence revealed a crime by the side oi which Jack the Ripper's offences seem to pale ; and in the face of this indispu- table evidence a verdict of " not guilty " was returned. To place any credence in the evidence at all, one must conclude she had murder in her heart. If the conclu- sions formed by them are correct, rumours of a sensa* tional character are about to be circulated. It is not conclusively known that he has been murdered. Concoct. — Her confession was concocted for the pur- pose of sheltering him. To concoct a plan — falsehood. He has concocted a series of lies. Concur.— 1 concur in your statement. The words were added with our entire concurrence. To concur in resolutions, remarks, etc. In his view of the evils re- sulting from the chaotic condition of public opinion, on points of morality, I most heartily concur. He con* curred with me in admitting it as highly advantageous. I do toot concur with him in his views. This was unani- mously concurred in. To concur with views. Extremes in man concur to general use. Though concurring in his opinion, I won't be misled into delusive hopes re- garding the future. . ' Condemn. — His action is roundly condemned. Condign. — Condign punishment is meted out to the guilty by the inevitable and inscrutable ways of Provi- dence. * >v^ ^. Condition. — Union, under such conditions, is not strength. His condition is unchanged, being ever indi- cative of acute indigestion. They are taught to look upon separation as the only condition of their future prosperity. The players have put in good practice, and are in thorough condition. It is offensive to the spirit of the age. A shocking condition of matters. All grades and conditions of life. Business is in anything but a flourishing condition, owing largely to excessive drought. The condition of afiairs is most trying. To make a speech under such conditions was out of the question.. A condition just bordering on revolt. I pre- mise the foregoing conditions. We are assembled under no ordinary conditions. There is a marked change in his condition. It is not interesting under such forced # ,ffi; — 66 — conditions). The house is in a tottering condition. It is A dangerous condition of matters. Under favorable conditions, the rate of mortality would not be so great. The crowded condition of its columns. Each issue is sufficient evidence of its popularity. He has increased his Rales to so remarkable an extent as to call for com- ment, especially when we consider his easy conditions. They are agitating for an improvement in their con- dition, though there are some constitutional points involved in the question. He has been suffering from an overdose of stimulants, but there is a noticeable im- provement in his condition. . Condone. — To condone or disregard such shameless treatment, is simply to grant a premium to cruelty ; but the case in regard to other evils is very different. Conduce. — The rubbish is neither sightly nor con- ducive to health. It will conduce to the settlement of the question. It is not conducive to the welfare of the people, or the peace or prosperity of the country. It cannot fail to conduce to mental superiority. It will conduce to the attainment of these objects. I happened along and persuaded him it would not conduce to his comfort. Cold weather conduced to his recovery. ^ Conduct. — The manner in which affairs of the munici- pality are conducted. Everything is conducted on strictly business principles. The funeral has been con- ducted in great part as a private ceremony. The affair (investigation) was conducted as quietly as possible. It is conducted on a wrong financial principle. His con- duct has been brought into prominence. I was con- ducted to ihe scene of festivities. There is nothing blamable in his conduct. It should be conducted with a sole view to the purposes of exhibition. From subse- quent events, it is presumed, the affair was conducted privately. Confer. — If they can see their way to restoring the supply, it will be conferring a great boon on us at prac- tically no cost to the city. The benefits and advantages it is capable of conferring. He feels fiattered at the distinction conferred on him. Obviously from a patri- otic desire to confer those beneficial results .upon us. The college is empowered to confer degrees. You will confer a kindness by doing so. Confess. — It is confessedly much cheaper. It is con- — 57 — fessedly the best. I must in all humility confess to a profound ignorance of such proceedings, and a good deal of embarrassment. ' v' Confide. — He speaks confidently of the future. He took me into his confidence. His erect bearing and confident smile have disappeared altogether, and he is go* ing crazy ; his eye is lustreless, andthe fact is becom- ing plain that he is a victim of hU own conscience. My confidence in your uprightness remains unshaken. She is well up in their confidence being the centre of all eyes. Confine. — He confined himself solely to the principle upon which they should be punished. It will be pru- dent to confine our imports as much as possible within the compass of our actual wants. They confined their efforts to that. Confirm. — Enquiry into her death confirms the im- pression first formed, and all idea of suicide is utterly precluded. He confirms my story in all particulars ; but I do not feel warranted in proceeding any further. [To confirm action. It confirms his statement in all I points. Conjiict. — Accounts are conflicting as regards the ; number of persons killed, some placing the number ai 500 while others place it as high as 1000. There was a konfiict of opinion as to whether etc. Much conflicting testimony was given. This conflicts with his statement. [Conflicting stories and thoughts. A conflict with au- thority. Conflicting interest^. That fully confirms my [view. Such discovery went towards confirming them fin their theory of the suicide. Conflicting reports, [nvestigation will confirm this assertion, that harm [results from it. Confoi'm. — Their attire does not conform to the regulations. To conform to usage. Confront. — Let them confront the question. Other latters have confronted him of late to cause him much inxiety. Congratulate. — A congratulatory message. Our con- gratulations are extended to those who marry through )ur medium. n^ -t ;; Congregate. — Crowds are congregating. Conjectv/re. — What it will end in "it is impossible to conjecture. There ar«> many conjectures as to the cause af the accident. ^ — 58 — Connect. — In connection with this let me say that etc. He gave an explanation of his conduct in connec- tion with recent stirring events. It would be interest- ing to connect its appearance with the earthquake, if time and space permitted. I am not in a position to say anything in that connection. Nothing has been done in that connection. There is a curious incident connected with the proceedings, which might furni.sh a shadow of a pretext, if such were sought. He is con- nected with the Railway in various capacities. He instructed them to consider a bill in that connection. ConaciouB. — He is conscious of his capacity to lead them. I am profoundly conscious of the honor done me. Consent. — They showed some self-abnegation by con- 1 senting to accompany him. Consequent. — It will be of widely mischievous conse- 1 quence. It is a satisfactory sign of no small consequence j that, etc. Those are losses consequent on human ignor- ance. The vacant position consequent on his promotion I has been given to another. He had two black eyes, the consequences of an encounter with his wife. He is suffering from a sprained ankle, consequent on a fall! •while getting out of a carriage. Consider. — He is a man of talent considerably above I the average. They consider the diflBculty settled. He went on to enumerate what he considered were thoirl disadvantages. Takir into consideration all the cir- cumstances of the quesdon. They consider it a fore- gone conclusion that he will go. Everything considered,! there is nothing especially bad in it. I would consider! it derogatory to the position I hold if I failed to noticel it. They are considering a resolution to that effect. If| you will coolly consider ail the circumstances and all the influences that help to determine the issue. I don'tl consider that sufficient ground to postpone the case] Our accommodation was carefully considered. After! considerable debate his motion was voted down. Consi- dering the heat, it is surprising that more did not suc-l cumb. Taken altogether, I consider it a capital publica'| tion. Considering all things, I consider it unlikely. ll don't consider the information definite enough. I consil der it a breach of faith. Coolly consider the fact that,! &c. But if we sit down thoughtfully, and consider m li ' '. 69 1.4 *^fl» ■ issues involved in our provincial affairs, we shall find that party politics should have nothing to do with our local affairs. They have insisted on its immediate consi- deration as of imperative necessity. These considera- tions don't count for much. It was considered a suspi- cious circumstance that she was present. There are doubtless many questions to consider in connection with it. I consider it a matter of importance. I am totally uninfluenced by such considerations. I hope you will not consider it an intrusion if I apply to you for that pur- pose. Give the subject a little consideration. He does not stop to consider the effect of his language. They consider the project of raising the building a good one. A crowd of considerable dimensions. In spite of all the opinions to the contrary, he is considered a doomed man. Out of consideration for him. He is in considerable straits. Consider the question at issue between them. Whether they will succeed is considered doubtful. They consider themselves insulted by his action. He evi- dently wishes himself io be considered an adept in discerning the motives of his fellowmcn. Not* withstanding the disadvantages, apparently so consi- dered, of life and social distinction, it is possible that she may develop with such hardrubs as the world gives her into an ornament to her profession in time. His sen- tence has been commuted in consideration of his having assisted the authorities in bringing the facts of the case to light. They are considering the question of retiring him. Considering the exceptional circumstances. Take the matter into consideration. He is possessed of consi- derable wealth. Kindly consider our interests. His ; election is considered informal. I begged the audience to consider me an Irishman laboring under the dis- advantage of speaking French. Under the law this : consideration would hardly bear the dignity of a techni- icality. I consider it my duty, as it is my privilege, to [place them on the same footing. The proceedings were considerably enlivened by his trial. Whoever considers his own weakness will not want long persuasives to for- giveness. The heroine of the cause c4Uhre seems much [dominated by the religious idea. > is > Consign. — Consign their bickerings to oblivion. Con- [sign the past to oblivion. Consist. — The essence of catholicity consists in sub- m ' \ •1 :i\ 4 W% _ 60 - • jecting the int'Cllectual to the divine. Wherein consists the value of a classical education, will now be a subject for study and thought. The party consists of 10. The meeting consisted of sound common sense people. Consistent — He cannot, consistently with his position, do so. Console. — As a consolation for the vituperation of all things Jewish. Conspicuous. — Want of reflection was conspicuous. I \7as amased to find the illiberalism of the rich so con- spicuous. Constitute. — They constitute an element of doubt. The existence of such charges constitutes a burden ou commerce. It constitutes the sum total of our public policy. The mere fact of their being together legally coijidtitutes them a mob. Accidents to firemen will always constitute a part of their calling. As the world and society are now constituted. Carry on the agitation on constitutional lines. The wheelbarrow constitutes the oply rolling stock of the house. Conspire. — There are whispers of a conspiracy among them to revive the old trouble. I am not leagued with * those pretended friends who conspire its overthrow. He is charged with conspiracy in the matter. Constant. — It is a reasonable assumption that to his ^IHiction is due his cdhstant uneasiness. Consternation. — Again the same consternation and the same perplexity. Construe. — His ominous silence was construed as a tacit acknowledgment of the charge. It might be con- strued to mean something else. My silence as to names is not to be construed as indicating that, &c. He con- strued my words as having a meaning which I positively ■ussert does not attach to them. Consult. — There was scarcely a treath of air, and after consultation, a delay of an hour was agreed on. They should consult public rather than mere party interest. Consume. — Recourse to a dictionary consumes con- siderable time. Contact. — It will bring France in direct contact with <}ermany. I am daily brought into immediate contact | with them. Contain. — The letters contained the most burning | protestations of love. As to the offensive language and — i51 — -"H-^. novel doctrine contained in the article, I have nothing for it but supreme contempt. It contains disparaging statements. The word " party " contains tie germs of difference between the two lines of action. Contemplate. — i'urther proceedings are contemplated. He has in contemplation the acquisition of two lan- guages. He stood philosophically contemplating the chances of a meal. It is now under contemplation. There are persistent rumours that he contemplates a coup d^^tat. Contemporary. — It is vouched for by credible and contemporary narrators. Conteimpt. — No one has any other feeling than con- tempt for him. Contend. — These and many other difficulties have we had to contend with, but io-day we can felicitate our- selves upon a measure of success unexampled except perhaps by the parent system. Your contention that it is actionable is not right. It is a stale contention on the part of ignoramuses or hypocrites that he is anta- gonistic to free popular government. The contest is now at its highest. We have the natural advantages on our side, but we have enterprising people to contend with, and that means that we must keep our wits about us all the time. His lawyer followed in support of this contention. It is the bone of contention. He related the difficulties with which he had to contend, and ex- ploded certain fictions. Contingent. — He will either be beaten, or assassinated or fight, and anyone of these contingencies will place the government in an awkward position. A large contin- gent went up from Montreal. Continue. — He continued uninterruptedly for an hour. Trade is generally fair, and indications are that it will continue so. Trade continues rather unsteady. While such a state of things continues it would be absurd to expect it. Continuous conflicts have taken place. Con- tinue your noble efforts in the cause of justice. My ill- ness was not of long continuance. The activity of the war preparations continues unabated. The weather con- tinues insufferably hot. Continue your efforts by legi- timate means to obtain your rights. Interest in the discussion continues to attract much attention. He continues in a precarious condition. New cases conti- nue in abundance. - * .-V I il' f ■■ i $,i ' -62 — W- i i Contract. — Mr. and Miss were the contracting parties. Contrary. — Contrary to my expectation. Notwith- standing his plain statement to the contrary. A quite contrary effect. Contrast. — It brought her into unfortunate contrast with Albani who was at her best. Contribute. — He contributes towards the payment of my debt. The result contributed not a little towards it. He contributes money towards her maintenance. He does his share to contribute to her enjoyment. He con- tributes articles to papers. It was unanimously decided that each should contribute a certain sum. He contri- butes absolutely nothing towards the suppression of the disease. He has all that, can contribute to certainty of life. Trees would contribute much to our comfort in Summer. You should contribute your mite to a worthy charity. It has contributed in no small degree to my familiarity with its principles (system). It will contri- bute to ease and speed. Whatever contributes to hap- piness is important. Those are the elements which con- tribute to the formation of character. I invariably found that nothing was left undone which wae calcu- lated to contribute to their cleanliness. The pursuit of shorthand materially contributes to improve the student in the principles of composition. It contributed greatly to my success. Nothing has contributed more to make his cause popular, and his success possible. He contri- buted some good music. I am a contributor to its edi- torial columns. The bazaar contributed in a large mea- sure to its. succes. He has contributed $50 in further- ance of the cause which will greatly strengthen Glad- stone's hands. Their contributions will be tenfold larger than they might be if confronted with the alternative of having to face distress during the coming Winter. Contrive. — He contrived to make a sensation. Control. — Every available means should be taken to cet it under control. Their effoHs to control the turbu- lence of the mob have so far proved unavailing. The liquor interest is rapidly gaining a controlling influence. To control action. It has unbounded means at its con- trol. Controlled by public opinion. They got the flames under control after much difficulty, I am not controlled 'by such considerations. . > . Convalesce. — He is convalescing. » • 63 — »'«»i^*' Convenient. — Any convenieDt day. He conveniently forgets that, &c. He has a ^ood memory, but it is con- veniently oblivious of this fact. Convert — His continued detention without a trial has converted him into something like a popular hero. Convey. — He started to convey the news to him. The idea of having his remains conveyed to the city is being abandoned. It will produce the impression it was intended to convey. I desire to convey my best thanks to you. The solemn announcement was conveyed in a whisper. To convey sentiments. He conveyed to me the gratifying fact that, &;c. It conveys an erroneous impression of their condition. He conveyed his greetings with criminal intentions. It conveys the impression that it was a palliation of wrong doing. Convict. — The conviction gains ground that he has gone too far in his acts of indiscretion. Convulae. — Everyone was convulsed with laughter, his Majesty alone excepted, who was probably inquiring in his mind if there was a dastardly plot to, &c. Convict. — He was convicted upon the clearest evidence. Convince.*— They are becoming convinced of the fact that, &;c. I feel convinced that it is so He told his story with an appearance of truth that carried convic- tion with it. Such convictions are not worth talking about. That is my unalterable conviction. He has the courage of his convictions. Nothing can be more con- vincing than the fact that, &/C. They have been used with exclusively satisfactory results. Cope. — By universal consent he is the most formidable opponent with whom he has to cope. Such a movement would be incapable of coping with the power of England. Their appliances were t' fcally inadequate to cope with the fire. Unable to cope with physical power. They confess themselves unable i cope with popular prejudice. The incapability of the law to cope with the change. A reformer seeking to change any old social custom must be prepared to cope with the fiercest opposition on the part (at the hands) of the people. Cooperate. — Let us cooperate in work in which we have a common interest. ^ * . Cordial. — The reception was of an extremely cordial •character. My relations to him are entirely cordial. Comer. — The Premier is in a corner. r- 64 — 11 • Correct. — If his theory is correct, the reduction is worse than useless. It is substantially correct. To correct sanitary shortcomings. Newspapers are, or ought to be, the channel for correcting abuses. This proved to be correct. Copious. — He calmed down after weeping copiously. Couch. — His consent is couched in a famous letter which is a model of modesty. It is a singular fact that .his paper contained an attack couched in language dangerous to tho peace of the city. Cownsel. — Discretion counsels reticence. He coun- selled them to acquiescence. He counselled milder measures. Court. — Should training count for anything, as it undoubtedly does, her efforts should meet with unquali- fied success. Can you count on a man's fidelity while you are flaying him, and at this critical juncture of the struggle. Counter. — He made a counter declaration. Counteract. — It will counteract the evil tendencies into which they are daily thrown. Couple. — The excitement grew space, and it was the sole topic of conversation, coupled with the abuse of the police. He coupled with his assurance the warning that etc. Course. — I don't see in his conviction any reason for iuch a course. Their movements seem to depend upon what course of action will be taken. I am indignant at his course in publishing it. Such a course would result in the speaker being made a virtual dictator clothed with powers ample enough to enable him to| deal effectively with such occasions. It is plainly the best course to follow. He has taken a sensible com- mendable course with regard to the points settled. Any course they should propose canuot affect the in. dependent action of the city. I advised an oposite course. That is the only coarse left open to me. The case will take the ordinary course. It is in course of erection. I hope I see in the course of events the ultimate fulfilment of my constant prayers. In the! natural course of events. His house is in course of I construction. I am not indifferent or hostile to such a course. This adherence to the standard object has! unremittingly marked its course. It has run its course. lignant would lictator him to aly the le corn- settled. the in- oposite ' >. The >urse of I ints the' In the lurse of' such a lect has I course. -i 65 — They have taken the proper course in arresting him. In the course of the debate he declared that justice had not been allowed to take its course, but had been para- lysed by political intervention. That is the only alter- native his course of action leaves us. Court. — He is courting arrest. An honorable man when accused of dishonorable practices courts enquiry. To court inquiry the minutest and criticism the keenest is our constant care. He was courteous as he invariably is, but except to say that nothing tangible had come out of his negotiations he had no information to convey. Cover. — The wall is promiscuously covered with paint- ings and drawings. The loss is covered, by insurance. A little more practice will cover this defect. You will cover your heads with glory. Those are the principal points covered by the report. The list covers 50 cases. Bsts made by their sympathizers were promptly covered. Craze. — He is crazed by fear. Create. — Beyond creating unnecessary anxiety, no de- finite statement is made regarding his intentions. It creates a feeling of attachment towards him. The article has created a sensation. These questions are per- fectly legitimate ones, and to leave them unanswered might create a wrong impression. It created a ripple of excitement which, at times, developed into an uproar. He created a profound sensation and some difficulty. It created great hilarity and great and widespread in- terest. He created a favorable impression. The Cholera scare has created some ludicrous incidents. His action created slight commotion and excitement. It has created a want far beyond its capability to supply. His speech created a lively sensation — a painful sensation, and is the sole topic of conversation. To create uneasiness. The affair created intense excitement in the popular mind. He created an endless amount of laughter. This is not a fine delusion created to bolster up a theory, but the experience of jvery day Jife^ Germany's action has created an uneasy feeling. The idea is one of your own creating. He will be created a baronet in recognition of his services. It has created a good deal of talk, and stirred up not a little bad blood. The judges are crea- tures of the conspiracy. He created a hubbub of excite- ment by giving prompt evidence of his disapproval of such language in administering some severe blows on 5 ■1 . as.'-tiaafe 1 T "c-> m v., -.65-^ ^^ ■■>•*«? ir^:-*!: ' « ■f his head. Something like a sensation was created by one of the leaders dissociating himself from our policy. To create havoc. These incidents are got up to create excitement in view of the next elections. In view of its importance I am willing to create a precedent. He i.s doing his utmost to create a disturbance in view of the extreme pressure of poverty, and the tendency of desti- tute foreigners to lower the conditions of living. He endeavored to obtain a conviction by such methods during the hot spell of weather, and while comtemplat- ing a trip there. It creates a ripple of interest. It is likely to create confusion of ideas unless the limitations of nationality are kept in view. At the same time interested persons busied themselves with creating in his mind the impression that he was resolved to get rid of him at any price. Co-worker. — My co-workers' decision has created quite a stir in legal circles. Credence. — Little credence is given to the rumour. I am inclined to give credence to such a supposition. She is credited with having eloped with a young cavalier. I don't place much credence in its efficacy. Credit. — They cannot be said to have come out of the affair with credit. He distinctly declared that France is maligned by being credited with aggressive ideas. I am wrongly credited with being a resident of the city. He is not the brave man he is credited with being. At first no one credited the news, but subsequent informa- tion confirmed it. He took occasion to deny certain remarks credited to him. He is not credited with much ability for vituperation. He is credit«d with a faint drop of French blood. He is credited with the honor. It would be ungenerous not to give him credit for good i^ tt>ntions. She must be a beauty if we are to credit the unanimous testimony of her contemporaries. . Creep. — It is steadily creeping into public favor, as was clearly evidenced by the large attendance. Crisis. — There is a crisis approaching — impending. The country is passing through a crisis. The situation will soon come to a crisis. In this crisis the mayor was upheld. We shall tide over the crisis. The crisis is believed to be nearly at an end. A dissolution at the present crisis is not desirable. We are facing a mo- mentous crisis. The crisis is becoming more entangled kvor, as — 67 — than ever. The crisis is nearing a head. There is a tiff between them at this important crisis. Griter'ion. — If the enthusiasm shown is any criterion of the spirit in which they are going to work they wont be far behind. If the attendance at the opening per- formance is to be taken as a criterion, the enterprising showman is going to reap a rich harvest. Critical. — It is a critical moment in his career. The situation is very critical in consequence of the stormy disputes regarding the action that is to be taken in view of the present French attitude. Criticize. — Independent criticism of the bo«*rd will be continued although every indignant member oi it should go into fits. I have frequently felt undsr the necessity of criticizing him unfavorably, but there is no denying that his attitude on this question has been that of an honest man. His speech was a masterpiece of political criticism. Criticize his conduct and censure his acts in a legitimate way. It has been adversely criticized. His election to the place provoked criticism. Cro88. — Such a thought never crossed my mind. Crown. — The negotiations have been crowned with success. Cruel. — Such a spectacle of cruelty as was afforded by the horse's sore back I have never seen. Crush. — Every fond hope crushed. Crop. — Cases of this kind crop up occasionally. Crowd. — The crowd swelled into a seething multitude throughout the whole length of the procession, and wm composed of many grades in the social circle. Cry. — It is a crying scandal that it should be so. Cull. — Scores of incidents might be culled from the history of the last two years. Culminate. — The trouble culminated in a row. It was easily seen that the interest of the public culminated in the murder trial judging from the immense crowds gathered. An incident that took place yesterday cul- minated in a marriage. Culture, — It is not creditable to their culture that I they cannot do th!«». A high grade of culture. Cumber. — Cumbered with debt, abuses, &c.'' "*" ' Curious. — A curious, negative argument. Curiously [enough, some underhand manoeuvring is going on. Current. — He is somewhat currently spoken of as i n , S: i m — 68 — likely to contest mayoralty honors. Such phrases are the current coin of society. The complaints now current are grossly exaggerated, and in some instances absolutely false. Divers reports are current concerning his health. If the current news is to be believed it has at least in one respect reached a high point of civilization. All sorts 01 rumours are current in the city that war is at hand. A rumour is current to the effect that, &c. An article in the current week's issue. That shows the general current of his thoughts. Three theories are current, one that he deliberately suicided. Wild reports are current emanating from Germany alleging hostile intentions on her part. There are conflicting statements current that the cat o' nine tails has been administered to him. Curt. — Yes, said he curtly. Information was curtly refused. Curtail. — Curtail the debate. He has been singled out to curtail my influence in every way possible. Custom. — He concluded, as customary, in depressed spirits, after saying that all those questions are rapidly ripening for practical legislation. Damage. — You make a damaging admission in saying so. DaTTiper. — His absence throws a certain damper on the social world. The weather put a damper on their spirits instead o^ increasing their ardor. Dare. — I dared to smile. Dash. — He made a dash for liberty. Though the hopes of this enthusiast are dashed he gives promise of i good speed in writing. Dastardly outrage. Day. — In my bread and jam days — candy day .•». Date. — Pay up to date. Deal. — To deal with matters of the most trivial cha- racter. They are unequal to the task of dealing with I the question. He dealt mainly with the subject of I home rule. Let some one come to the front and deal with the question in a sensible manner. He has beenj unfairly dealt v/ith. Questions beyond your scope. He deals with the measure in a spirit that is considered I objectionable. He dealt a telling blow upon his I flushed face. Leave to the government the respon- sibility of dealing with those with whom they have! ^m -*-Ter«tition dies hard He died very gamely. D'llfer. — My informant stated that opinion on this subject differed very widely. If such differences did not exist ('iscussion won Id be hardly po'..dble. It differs radically from it. Opinions differ little on essential points. In proof of this he pointed out wherein they differed. There are some points of vital difference be- tween them. Dijfficult. — To right difficulties. The grog difficulty has become the absorbing topic. It renders out-door labor difficult. The difficulty seems in a fair w^y of satisfactory solution. It places difficulties in the way. There will be a recurrence of our present difficulty. It rmfr I in- ^U. — 80 m^ is difficult to discover cause for their lean gj towards him. Diplomacy will patch up the difficulties. He spoke with difficulty. His death shows a way out of the diffi- culty. Journalism under difficulties, In the present state of affisiirs it is difficult to form an opinion. With the stand now taken it is difficult to say what the result will be. The difficulty lies in that. It is difficult to lind words to express my admiration. The laval difficulty is the chief point to be investigated. You do not know the difficulties of his position surrounded as he is by various influences. The reported difficulty with the government exists only in the imagination of certain correspondents specially instructed to write in that sense. Help him out of his financial difficulties. There is a diffiulty about the chairmanship. That is the first difficulty in the way of the movement. In the face of immense diffi- culties, and without the advantage of education. Such difficulty is working against my interests. In the face of many difficulties American justice has been vindicat- ed. The country is difficult of access. Where does the difficulty lie and where the remedy. The difficulties besetting it deter me. I could see no clear way out of my difficulty. Under the pressure of difficulties. He is in business difficulties. I am fully aware that it is more difficult to retain than to obtain the amount of support and confidence necessary to the prosperity of the undertaking. He is making a brave fight against difficulties. In dealing with these matters he merely exhibits the animus that guides his pen, and the enormous difficnlty he is under to find material for criticism. But for his impaired voice it would be difficult to imagine that he is on the verge of 80. That will clear all difficulties away. A life of ease is a difficult pursuit. To comprehend difficulties. I was perplexe^fe. 1.0 I.I 11.^5 |50 ■^™ MHI ■u lii 12.2 ^ 1^ 12.0 lUteil 6" /] V ^l V ftiotographic Sciences Corporation 23 WeST MAIN STRUT WIBSTIR.NY.

Dispose. — The revival of the attempts to rid the country of him, definitely disposes of those reports. They are rushing business, and several matters have been disposed of. Owing to the limited time at my dis- posal. Those considerations were satisfactorily disposed of. He disposed of the charges made against him. The enjoyment of a good joke is greatly enhanced by sharing it with somebody else. There is a disposition to charge such responsibility to their inactive foreign policy. It is beyond the competency of parliament to dispose abso- lutely of our destinies. Disprove. — He has shirked the opportunity of dis- proving the charges. There is a prospect of his story being disproved. There is a disposition in bome quarters to do away with capital punishment, but the proposal does not appear to commend itself to general approval. He answered his objection in the same manner that he disposed of mine. Dispute. — The disputes engendered hard feelings. A dispute which resulted in blows. Disquieting signs. — There is no disquietude felt in official circles over his probable resi^^nation. Disrepute. — It is bringing the trade into disrepute ; dissatisfaction is general. Dissemble. — I dissembled my real feelings. Disseminate. — With the advent of cold weather it will disseminate (the epidemic) more rapidly. Dis- seminate a knowledge of the resources of the country. Misrepresentations the grossest are being disseminated under the mask of religious liberty. To dis.seminate intelligence and education. Dissent^He maintained that it was correct, and I dissented from this view whereupon he waxed wroth. To dissent from opinion — from views. Dissipate. — It did effective service by dissipating the erroneous impressions created. To dissipate notions and prejudice. The newjpapers which lose their legitimate influence by disseminating absurdW false rumours are the real sufferers in the end. The last cloud of prejudice has been dissipated in the strong sunlight of truth. The recurrence of good harvests will dissipate such an idea. f^ — 87 — Dissuade. — He was dissuaded from his intentions by their remonstrances. Dissolve, — To dissolve ties. Distant. — Looking through the vista of distant ages. Distinguish. — He has not the receding forehead, the distinctive mark of those savages. I distinctly refused. It is essential to distinguish these ultimate objects from one another. We are within measurable distance of having it. Distort. — They distort everything I say. Distract. — Sometimes for distraction, he routs ou4 the garrison in the early morning, and it is a common place experience for him to work till 8 o'clock. Disturb. — There was no attempt at disturbance. My bit+er sweet reverie was unexpectedly disturbed, ^^hcther he is entitled to the designation of duke is a point which does not disturb us. To disturb the peace. Diverge. — Widely divergent opinions. Divergence of views and feelings. Our interests do not diverge. D vers. — The festiveties are of a diversified kind. Divers acceptations of it. The newspapers on divers occasions made damaging statements concerning him. The customary routine of the court was diversified by his wit. Divert. — It will divert your thoughts. It may cperate in diverting trade from its natural channel. Violent agitations at homo diverted attention there- from, or made its advocacy in parliament untimely. Divert public attention from the unsatisfactory state of affairs. Divest. — By means of a little change he was induced to loosen his tongue and tell his history which, divested of its lingo, was briefly as follows: Divest yourself of pride. I hurriedly divasted myself of my clothing, and donned another suit. Do. He has done much for the cause of liberty. It does infinite credit to him. That opinion would not be doing him justice. Let us be up and doing. He tried to do away with himself. They are at their wits ends to know what to do. Drink's doings. He is doing the rockies. It was done with falterings and misgivings. Do away with tyranny. Dodge. — That is a common dodge. Do not dodge the question. M *! •: 1. r>' I ■^ — 88 — Domestic. — He is away owing fco domestic reasons. Dominate. — The spirit of injustice dominates. Double. — Unpleasant experiences of a double even^. Doubt. — It has his advocacy, but it is doubtful if that is an element of strength. 1 doubt it, every one who thinks at all must doubt it. There is no room (to) for doubt. A book of more than doubtful morality. That English has an obstinate foothold in this province there cannot be a shadow of a doubt. Doom. — He was doomed to bitter disappointment and defeat. Down. — He is down with small-pox. Downpour. — I returned in a downpour of rain. Drag. — To drag out a miserable existence. Drape. — The attempt to drape such complex vilany with the cloak of religion is simply revolting. ♦, Drama. — A drama of intermingled laughter and tears Draw. — To draw erroneous conclusions. The lesson to be drawn from the whole course is obvious — a ] ^on of mutual forbearance and charity. The strike is gra- dually drawing to », close. Let us draw a brief retros- pect. He drew attention to the fact that, etc. A prac- tical acquaintance with the art is highly favorable to the improvement of the mind, invigorating all its faculties and drawing forth all its resources. It has been justly observed that it draws out all the powers of the mind and matures the judgment. To draw a logical inference from a fact. It is not wise to draw too many inferences from a single day's experience. The coincidence is for- tuitous, but an incredulous critic will draw from it his own conclusions. They finally drew up after a lengthy confab. The fishing sea.<«on is drawing to a close, and sportsmen are making homeward. Fish are reported very plentiful in the adjacent lakes. Drawback. — There is a general admission that exalted rank has its drawbacks. Drive. — lie has been driven to this course. Germany is drifting into war with France. Its distance is a draw- back. Seriously there is no greater brawback to the appearance of the city than those hideous little houses. He was {riven to desperation by his inability to support his family. While visiting him in his official character he found the snow drift seriously impeding Railway travel. mm — 89 — Dream. — All passed before me as i«i a dreair, and I straightway indited several letters. Ihf.biou8. — A man of dubious nobility. Due. — Death due to drink or foul play. Its success is in great part due to their untiring exertions. This is largely due to the government adopting a strict policy with regard to it. His failure is due to the fact that he has not gone to the root of the matter. It is due to a variety of causes. An explanation is due me. It is due to him to say that, etc. The failure is entirely due to a shrinkage in stocks. The omission is probably due to a forgetfulness rather than a lack of appreciation. It is especiallj iue to that. The failure of the municipal authorities to offer him any civic hospitalities on the occasion of his recent visit was not due, as has been asserted, to the fact that, etc. It was'simply owing to the fact that no official intimation of his visit was re- ceived. This action is due to a disbelief in their pro- mises. But to what causes this fact was due and what particular characteristics gave it that preponderating influence is a question which remains vague and obscure. It is largely due to the circumstance that we take an exaggerated estimate of our usefulness. It is largely due to the persistent attempts of people in the lower walks of life. Such abstinence from violence is due to their high character. Our success is in no small mea- sure due to your enthusiastic energy. It is understood this action (resignation) is due to the severe criticisms made upon his efficiency. During. — During the intervals two girls brought doxvn the house in a duet. During his tenure of office he endeared himself to the people. Duration. — The average duration of life. Duty. — The path'of duty is the way to glory and to profit. Dwell. — He dwelt at considerable length on their atti- itude in obstructing legislation. He made a powerful speech dwelling particularly on the righteousness of his motives. I need not dwell upon this point as it is suf- [ficiently plain. He dwelt with emphasis on the ieuct Ithat etc. I need not dwell on the risk that is incurred tin this connexion, even under the most favorable cir- [cumstances. He dwelt on the fact of their being a adilv deteriorating process visible in all departments )f official and private life. — 90 — DvmidU. — Its significance is dwindling away. Earnest. — There is no miHtaking the earnestness of his protests. The great thing i.s to be in earnest Eclipse. — All that had gone before was eclipsed by it. Efiace. — Nothing can enace it from my memory. Effect. — His endorsement of vaccination will not be withont its effect. It is the effect of centuries of oppres- sion. It has had a very decided effect. The advocates of temperance will effect their purpose by devoting their time to getting the groggeries rooted out. The object is to effect a reconciliation conducive to the honor of France. A settlement has been effected. They should carry the laws into effect. His duty is to give effect to the laws. The most striking thing about it is the im- possibility of its eflfecting any good purpose. Isolation can be effectually carried out. It shows clearly that the storm was serious in its effects. No evil effects fol- lowed this. My suspicions were strongly to the effect that, etc. This announcement had a depressing effect on him. There are some damaging statements now go- ing the rounds of the papers to that effect. He has recovered from the effects of the injuries he recently received. It will have the effect of removins^ a good deal of the impression prevailing in England, whi^h Im due to his persevering efforts. His statement is to the effect that, etc. The effect is only temporary. To effect an arrest. Its direct effect will be to, etc. He used his little sleigh with good effect. A new time table will go into effect soon. To effect an arrangement. It had the | desired effect of relieving the ^ tomach. His efforts to effect an entrance v/ere fruitless. The effect is iin-j mediate. I remember something to that effect. Its per- nicious effects can hardly be oveij estimated. When I does the treaty take effect. Wind and weather had of I course a damping effect on the attendance which wa!>| comparatively slim. What would the acceptance of this I proposal effect. To effect changes and improvements! under judicious management. The results effected byl legislative means. The capture was peacefully effectedj The judgment is in effect as follows : He gave emetics,! but to no effect. He died from the effects of opium. Onel day in the long agos. It will have the double effect ofj weakening the alliance and diminishing the tensionl between the two powers.

The blue-coated upholders of the law had a deterrent effect. He n is entertained in regard to his recovery. Of his intense sincerity no one enter- tains a shadow of a doubt. Nothing has altered the views I then entertained. Enthuaiaam. — There is enthusiasm in society circles over the event. They are enthusiastic over the conclu- sion of peace. Their enthusiasm was unbounded. They are v6ry enthusia&^ic over the subject and his treatment. He was greeted with great 3nthusiasm! Their enthu- siasm is an incentive to me to continue the struggle. He was 'enthusiastically applauded. Enthusiastic admira- tion. He was enthusiastically cheered throughout (his lecture). He is fired by enthusiasm, but his first step has not inspired confidence. It took place amidst the wildest enthusiasm. His martial bearing created in- tense enthusiasm, the populace thronging the approaches to the palace. The scene was marked with great en- thusiasm. There was high enthusiasm on the part of the people. Entire. — The discovery of the disaster engrosses the attention of the entire community. The house cannot be seen in its entirety owing to the trees. I am enti- rely with you there. The number is entirely (totally) out of keeping with the population. Entitle. — That he should be chaffed was inevitable, but he is entitled to sympathy rather than to criticism. These two facts entitled the prisoner to the benefit of the doubt and made it probable that his death was the result of his own folly. He is entitled to the utmost credit for the energy he displays in bringing such cases to lijht. He is entitled to the praise of being a high authority on French affairs. A story of surpassing interest entitled " The Qiant ". On legitimate business grounds he is entitled to some remuneration. He is entitled to some consideration at the hands of his friends. ^^ — 99 [jircles onclu- They tment. enthu- le.

The letter entrusted to my care. Entvjine. — Moore's wild and impassioned music is entwined with his name. Envelope. — The City is enveloped in a dense fog. The mystery that enveloped his disappearance is dis- pelled. Envy. — He made an enviable reputation for himself as merchant. Equal. — It is nearly equal to the best efforts of Moore. EqUM.lly as much. It is equally applicable in this case. He is not equal to its duties. Erratic. — A rather erratic individual. Escape. — I escaped unscathed. Especial — His especial grievance is he is allowed no tobacco, which must be a great hardship. He has an especial penchant for actresses. Espouse. — Men who espouse great causes, such as home rule, are generally prone to give their name. Ere. — It- was sometime ere he quieted down. Essence. — The essentials to this indispensable adjunct to household joy (*tea) are not easily attainable. It is essentially the same. The only essential ditFerence between them is one of refinement. It is an essential part of it. It " -essential to the success of any measure. Two parties are essential to a quarrel. He supplied the essential evidence. Episode. — Shortly after this episode (occurrence). Laughter provoking episodes. The O'Brien episode is the joke of the town, and is looked upon iji what is termed in vulgar parlance as a put up job. Establish. —The police swooped down upon a gam- bling establishment in full blast. It is an established idea t lat the opening of the New Year is a particularly appropriate one for the formation of good resolutions. Let it be our endeavour by a circumsper^/ induction from facts to establish sound principles.

Facilitate. — It will facilitate its progress aad sale, as it has ensured its adoption. Milk offers fatal facilities for the transmission of disease. Facilities for the dif-, fusion of infectious diseases. To facilitate operations. That would facilitate matters greatly. This great issue will again have to be faced. To facilitate the establish- mont of schools. It is only the most venturesome that will voluntarily face the perils of our streets. We can only say that on the face of it we do not see any evi- dence of such defect of efficiency He has abandoned the idea of resigning and faced his opponents. Facili- tate a reference to it by working in concert. There are no facilities for employing them to advantage for the purpose suggested. Ample facilities will be provided for toilet, etc. He got entangled in a noisy altercation (with a face radiant with smiles), and is now in a tight place. Fact. — We are dealing with facts now. You should not go to your imagination for your facts. This fact is enormously important. He took advantage of the fact that, etc. Independence is almost within the realm of I accomplished facts. It is a fact worth remembering in connection with these statements. Attention was directed to the fact that certain parties, by roundly de- nouncing the work, left it to be inferred that they were liing. This fact by itself would not be very significant, Ibut taken in connection with the decrease of 1863, in jthe mortality, as compared with the previous week, it Ibecomes interesting. The decrease is rendered all the Imore significant by the fact that, etc. While these facts are encouraging they should not lead to any relaxation pf authority or effort. This interesting fact did not reach him from the same source. The facts proved onsistent witR the possible innocence of the accused. U'ter dwelling upon the facts of the case the court pro- eded to discuss what the evidence had adduced. The ct might have been overlooked if he had not taken the cudgels so vigorously in his behalf. They re- 8 — \u m C0gni2e the fact that we are spending as much ix.oii«y as we can conveniently afford. This fact indicates that the reports concerning him are true. A feature of the elections worth notice is the fact thai, etc. The facts are as set forth in my letter. I know for a fact that it is so. Nothing was learned in addition to the facts given above. The facts are as follows : It is a fact no less true than lamentable that a man's best thoughts are often the most evanescent. These are the facfs of the capture. In the face of this fact it is useless to com- plain. It is given as a positive fact. It is only simple justice to let these facts be known. There is some soreness felt at the fact that, &;c, It is a fact worthy of note that, &c. I do not attach much importance to the fact that, &c. And yet what is th 3 fact. They have ordered an inquiry into the facts concerning it. This fact in a measure settles it. The mere publication of such a fact is enough to arouse an indignant public. And this in face of the fact that, &;c. Do not lose sight of the fact that, &c. They are waking up to a know- ledge of the fact that there is such a thing as hell. I am impressed with the fact that, &:c. It is a fact that has come within my own experience. He vouches for the facts. I am cognizant of the fact that certain offences are charged to my account. In consequence of the fact that, etc. The above mentioned facte are an explanation of the delay. Facts are stubborn things. It is a remarkable fact that, &c. No reason was given for the step beyond the fact that he is a non-resident. Notwithstanding the fact that, &c. No new facts were I elicited. Their action in defeating the government] emphasizes the fact that there is a new force in poli- tics. With the evident purpose of getting at all the! facts. In that fact i.« the practical illustration of the! argument that, &c. The facts brought forward renderedj it fairly clear that, &c. Those facts have much signi- ficance. A singular fact in regard to the celebration of J the day is that the weather is almost invariably as m-\ propitious as it could be for the outdoor^ display. The tact that human life is seriously endangered by the! practice is quietly ignored. Against your opinion thera is the fact that, &c. The fact that he has taken up hij permanent residence here is of great moment in theij estimation. The facts of the Railway disaster, as fan — 115 ^ tsare of the > com- soiue (worthy ince to .y have ,. This Bktion ot ic.

Its significance lies in the fact that, &c. There is no doubt of the fact that, &c. There is no getting away from the fact that, &c. A pleasing incident is the fact that he has changed his life. The facts are not capable of satisfactory proof. From a liberal stand-point it was a brilliant repro inctiou of ft,cts. I am ignorant of the facts. I have got in pos- session of some interesting facts. The two salient facts about his resignation are that he gained by it while his enemy lost. He is blind to the fact that, &c. These facts need no comments to show conclusively the dan- ger "of those proceedings. There was a small attendance owing to the fact that, &c. An idea of it can be derive«l from the fact that, &Da. It is a fact worth rem^^mbering. The hideous truth forced itself upon her, and she could no longer close her eyes to the fact that her husband was unfaithful to her. They place no reliance on the reports concerning him. The facts are these : In point of fact it happened so. The facts are patent ; the sad state of morality in the city, th^ w inton neglect of the helpless offspring of error, the dangers that loom along the horizon of the future, if there is no remedy immedi- ately applied, must combine in a mighty sirocco of moral desolation, if not forstalled ; in a word, the redeeming of the past, the stability of the present and the success of the future depend on your own efforts. If anyone thinks this statement over the mark I shall be happy to go to proof, giving indisputable evidence of the fact. The first, it will be observed, i? calculated to make our friends chuckle with delight, and wash their hands with invisible soap ; and the other to make them weep, Alexander like, over the bitter fact of their being one world less to conquer — a significant fact as to its popu- larity. That his motive was not robberj'^ is shown by the fact that no attempt was made to despoil the bodies. It reads less like fact than faction. He found room but for a single editorial, a fact, perhaps, without precedent in recent days. From an exhaustive consideration of the facts laid before him he is understood to have deduced tho^e conclusions. They are piling up evidence of the outrages and facts already notorious. The reason for it is found in the fact that the day is gloriously mild. In some way he got wind of the fact that he was , I •«'^- ■M \-vu ■ _ 116 — ■ ^^.;/^^ ;y^:v.^. resorting to all sorts of devices to that etid. But it will be well to keep in mind the fact that his troubles have arisen through his indiscretion. The proposed excursion for the purpose of enlightening us as to the actual con- dition and resources of the country is to be a fact and not a fancy. It is a singular fact, but an undeniable one. that the most difficult thing to tind is, &c. In view of the fact that the structure in course of constructidh is nearing completion. The fact was developed that, &c. He owes his office to the fact that he is an importation of a year or two. From the fact that he made a furious onslaught upon his policy they have ceased champion- ing Gladstone, and have adopted a moderate tone con- cerning Bulgaria. The broad fact witnessed in Court is one of the most painfully suggestive signs of the times in this era of great cities. Facts about suicide. It is accounted for by the fact that he amassed his wealth by industry. It is unquestionably a fact that symptoms of disease have developed themselves. This results from the fact that influenza of a violent type is raging here, and is a barrier against commercial inter- course. The fact has occasioned much speculation as to his purposes, and the conviction has gained ground in many well informed quarters that their chances are can- vassed pretty freely. A pound of facts is worth a ton of talk. It is a fact of some importance to you. His remark that the people are becoming worse each genera- tion is not borne out by recorded facts. The advertise- ment is calculated to give a wrong impression to those unacquainted with the facts. The facts are not obtain- able, but the incidents and scenes are appalling. Although it is not known for a fact what the charges are, it has got out that they are serious. If he died from his wounds the fact would point directly to mui Jer, and this would be the essential point for the jury to get at. That the bogus priest is affiliated with the gang is abundantly proved h-r the' fact that, &c. They have kep^ the fact of the arrest with ^he greatest secrecy. There is no exaggeration of the facts, they are unfortunately too true. Faction. — The orange faction. Factor. — Beauty is still a factor in society circles. Accommodation paperappears to be a more thanan usually strong factor in the numerous failures occurring.

I usually Their objection is a serious factor. The marked change in his conduct is a factor that must be taken into con.sideration. Faculty. — His faculties are gradually unfolding them- selves. Translation brings into activity all the facul- ties of the mind. It invigorates the faculties of the mind, and draws forth all its resources, and induces habits of patience. Fade. — The recollection of it has faded from my mind. He has faded out of memory. It fades into insignificance. Fail. — Diligent inquiry has failed to locate any such person, but I pledge myself to do so. Do not fail to make your points good. Who brought about the failure. Its effect upon them cannot fail to be injurious. The lesult never failed to elicit a hearty burst of applause. He failed to accomplish anything. I fail to recognize its importance. His assertions are mere assumptions which he has failed to prove. The evidence failed to connect me with it. I failed to see the point, and so, did not send the requisite funds. It failed to awaken much enthusiasm. It cannot fail to be of exceptional interest, of general interest. The fact that he failed to find absolutely unmistakable germs of cancer, coupled with his general good health, encourages the hope that they were mistaken in their conclusions. As a mere business speculation, it cannot fail of being a marked success. All efforts to do so failed. He failed to turn up in Court this morning. I failed in my effort. The whole thing failed completely. Medical attention failed to mitigate its intensity. A moment, previous he failed to put in an appearance. I fail to remember it. Failing both, I took to brandy. I confess I fail to see in what way such a saying is applicable to me. He failed to impress any one as to his sincerity. The fullest investigation of the meagre facts at our disposal failed to lead to his apprehension. The attempt proved (was) a failure. It is of the first importance that he should not fail to take advantage of the circumstance to fortify himself in the affections of his people. His voice failed. This is a blow to the cause, but they fail to see its full signifi- cance. The negotiations terminated in a failure to agree on terms. Fain. — We have a new broom ; we would fain hope that it will sweep clean. They Were fain to join in the ii^Fitl I- • ■I' — 118 — i»: *il f.i- H- . congratulations to him : but, unhappily, consistency did not permit them to accept gifts which seemed to imply a recognition oi' injustice , so they were declined, and their misunderstanding was further aggravated. Faint — He was only faintly cheered upon his arrival. Fair. — He it in fair circumstances. I am fairly well acquainted with his secrets. A fairly large amount. He was comparatively young, and bade fair to succeed him as the conservative .standard bearer. . Fall. — A great responsibility has fallen upon them. They all fell in with the idea. It falls short in many important particular:] of the requirements of a general system of shorthand. You (should fall into line with the opinions and interests of the civilized community. The proposition fell through. He has fallen out of favor at court. About six inches of the beautiful fell. The an- cient mode of arbitration has fallen into disuse. Falsify. — To falsify assertions. It is a false move in the fame of politics. With these important facts con- fronting humanity, we find the boasted civilization of to-day environed with false modesty and prudish rules of society. Fame. — A propos of the famous casino at New York, where fashion reaches its climax, he remarks, &;c. He is not unknown to fame. His eloquence has le.nt fame to his name. Familiar. — I am familiar with its actual condition, climatic and otherwise. I am familiar with the intri- cacies of the subject. To familiarize principles. Fami- liarize the shorthand characters. His name is familiar to all who loved poetry, for he was a worker far above the average. He is familiarly known as Jack. After such an interchange of familiar kindness among kins- men, he will carry away with him a goodly company of happy memories. Familiarize yourself with the. work- iLg of the arrangement. Fan. — It would fan the flame of passion. Fantastic— A pleasant time was spent in sociable en- joyment, and in tripping the light fantastic. Farce.— It is a mere farce. It will degenerate into a farce. Far. — In a few weeks at farthest. Fare.'^l h|iv« fare() poorly so far. ' • Faacinate.r-'li has a peculiar foscinaiion for my mina.

That he made a mistake fatal to his cause is admitted on all hands. Fatal end- ing of a quarrel. The fatal consequences of their in- capacity. The fatalities will probably be swelled to an enormous figure. Fate. — The mistake is fatal to the success lying at the very threshhold of the present system. It is as unfail- ing as fate. It had a fatal termination. It is fatal in its results. He jestingly speaks of it, and here his fatal proneness to reckless blundering overtakes him. The fates have willed it otherwise. An accident attended with fatal results — with hurtful consequences. Fault. — A faulty system. Favor. — A change in the mode of collection and levying the tax was favored by the mayor. The crop reports, so far as yet received, are favorable. Her ladylike appearance made at once a favorable impression, and contrasted with the pale care worn looks of the others. He does not favor a conference on the subject. I am favorable to his return. Many of them favor this arrangement. Feasible. — It is feasible. They are discussing the feasibility of doing bO. Fear. — To allay fears. To meet fearful emergencies. The police are at sea, and no land is in sight, and the population is in a continued tremor of fear and rage. ^0a^.-^You should not attempt a feat beyond your capacity. Feature. — A feature of the evening will be the violin performance. One particular feature marks modern business, its constantly crowing need of solicitation. He touched upon two salient features (points) of hit eventful career. It is an unpleasant feature of public life. A feature of the play was the superb stage dress which made a favorable impression. One of the con' spicuous features of the Tolume it the innoc«ice d ite fun. He declared such » practice to be an evil with scarcely a redeeming feature. That it the moat imdet . - -:..,- — 120 — sirable feature of the bill. The supper was the feature of the evening. A great deal of noise has been made about this bill which has been attacked in all its features. The dancing is a great feature of the play. They were given an agreeable surprise in the shape of a song. A number of new features were introduced which tended to renew interest in this popular drama. A noticeable feature of the proceedings was the pre- sence of a number of ladies. The face is the only dis- tinguishable feature. A most interesting feature was the fact that, &c. One of the moe(t remarkable features of the disease is the appalling rapidity of its progress, &c. The contortions of ihe features. , Very successful features of the performance were the amazingly clever renderings of their parts. There is one satisfactory feature about the project, and that is, they made nothing out of their move. A pleasing feature of the evening was his speech. His speech was the most interesting feature of the proceeding. The chief features of the charity have been wiped out. Esquimaux dogs will be a feature of the procession. Neither have they any features in common, the only similarity existing bet- ween them being in the color of the hair. One of the painful features of the trial was his wife weeping bitterly. Feel. — As to the question of policy, that is not one on which I feel at liberty to pronounce an opinion. I feel no ill ejffects from the journey. They will play for all they are worth, and feel very sanguine. Considerable anxiety is felt regarding his fate. I teel mostly that way. What is the feeling in Montreal. I feel per- auaded that, &;c. I feel as fresh as a lark. I feel the honor very sensibly. No matter bow the public feel on the question. As a matter of feeling. I do not feel it to be within my province. The feeling on the bourse is rather uneasy. Much apprehension is felt in regard to Germany's proximate future. This feeling is wide- spread among them. The feeling against them runs high. The feeling of indignation among the people continues intense. He feels' sore over it, because his system of shorthand must take a back seat. We feel we would be trifling with our readers were we to follow our adversary through his childish strictures on the principle of doing so. Revenge is the key note to their — 131 — feelings. I feel as if drowned in an ocean of kindness. There was miich feeling aroused, and a vigorous pro- test made. Fictio'ii. — It so rarely occurs outside of sensational fiction, that when such an event transpires, it is worth recording. They registered under fictitious (assumed) names. , Fever. —A feverish thirst after ambition is incompa- tible with peace of mind. (Cardinal Gibbons). Feign. — He feigned illness. Fell. — He received a blow that felled him to the ground, and he vainly tried to regain his feet. Felicitate. — He felicitated me upon my appearance. Field. — A question of such importance should have a wider field for discussion. Figure. — He figures prominently in connexion with the fracas. File. — The service over, they filed int the town hall. Fill. — He is filled with great aspirations. The plat- form was filled with representative men in all the walks of life. He worthily filled that position. The city was alive with visitors. The court was filled to sufi'usion. Things are going against him, and he is filled with despair. Final. — Finally his curiosity got the better of him. That is the final result, as stated in the " News." Financial. — It is a financial success. It was finan- cially a great success. It is a continued drain, finan- cially, on me. Fine. — It is safe to assume he will have a fine field for oratory there, and he contemplates going. She was the recipient of unusually fine and varied gifts. Find. — He found it necessary to make an assign- ment. Cholera will find every condition favorable to its development. The cause will be found in the mala- ria arising from decayed vegetable matter. The story finds many believers. You will find in him a foeman well worthy of your steel. His remarks will find an echo throughout the Provinc;?. Our opinion finds con- firmation beyond expectation in the course of events. I found him in low spirits. I cannot help pitying him I in his frantic efforts to find material for criticism. And, I here it' is. I find language weak. Fit^A mass of balderdash put together to fit the 122 — I'M ,!* times. On every fitting occasion. The hall is taste- fully fitted up. They fittingly marked t^eir respect for her. He is fitted to be intrusted with your highest employments. He seemed to be in a stupor, and was shakinsf all over hs though he had a fit. Fizzle. — The great meeting was a gigantic fizzle. The tory demonstration was a regular fizi^le. Flagrant. — Flagrant injustice. Flaw. — There is a flaw in his appointment. Flash. — He flashed by me. Flatter. — I do not flatter myself for a moment that the foregoing will be believed as a calm statement of facts. I flatter myself that my book will materially contribute towards promoting the study of French. I flatter myself with having fought the battle with all the energy I could command. Flat. — The story is flatly denied. A flat contradiction is given to the statement. Fleece. — Do not let them fleece you. Fling. — Have a fling at him. Florid. — He is of florid countenance. Flow. — He has a fluent tongue. It is quite impossible to keep pace with the uninterrupted flow of speeches from the leaders, let alone the minor members. Fly. — How quickly the pleasant time flies. Fluent. — To attain fluency. Follow. — An extension of trade always follows such eflbrts. To follow suit. It is plainly the best course to follow. A discussion followed as to the date. Deplor- able results would inevitably follow the passing of the Bill. Retribution quickly, followed. The scene that followed was of the wildest character. The principal faults of the work are the following : Follow the same train of thought. That is the best line to follow in the argument. At one time it looked as if bloodshed only could be the result, but satisfactory explanations fol- lowed. To follow out an ^idea. They follow farming for a livelihood. Footing. — He is on an intimate footing with her. A proposition is on foot to do so. : . < Foment. — To foment discontent and trouble. They have a threefold objeet : to foment a revolt, etc., etc. He especially condemned the measure as being clearly in eonflict with the prerogatives of Uie eountry, and fomenting difficulty and misunderstanding. see- for aest was The that int of jrially ch.

It now appears that the information furnished as being fact has more the appearance of fiction. Do not furnish arguments to your own ruin. They furnish two alleged reasons for this step — one that the party is wearied of him. The re- quisite facilities should be furnished. The accounts tarnished are supposed to be exaggerations. The fullest information has been furnished of all the facts attending the seizures. A notable (instance) illustration of their mental condition is furnished in connection with the wr recent eclipse. Nature furnishes a man with a gent appetite for glory ; education determines it to this or that particular object. Does this fact furnish you any reason for supposing so. It furnishes a medium through which we may form congenial acquaintance!*. Further. — He will not further you in your purposes. Further cases are reported. After some further discus- sion it was decided to do so. Further resistance on their part should not be tolerated. Further trouble is ex- pected. There are no further sensational developments in the case. We are met together for the furtherance of a great cause. It further says that, &;c. As a further precaution the door was shut. In furtherance of the scheme. It is not to be applied to further any political object. To further the national cause. Some further parti- culars. I will not trouble you any further. To further ne- gotiations. There can be no further controversy as to that. A widely circulated paper designedly prepared to further their object by misrepresentations as to real facts of the case. To further a scheme. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I am anxious to further your interest. It does not appear that the interests of the profes.sion have been greatly furthered by this somewhat acrimo- nious discussion — lively discu.ssion. Nothing furtlier transpired, and he mentioned nothing of his intended suicide. I hail your r v\'ay to granting the application. He sternly and un:x iHingly refused to grant the permission. Graphic — A graphic description. The horrors of slave trade graphically dcsscribed. Grapple. — Their duty is to grapple with the French question, counting in McMahon as a necessary factor. Grasp. — The gravity of the movement has not hither- to been grasped. You have shown a remarkable grasp of. broad ideas. I had some difficulty in grasping the general idea of the thing. Seeing the hammer uplifted tor another blow he grasped the weapon and wrenched it from her. Gratify. — Do not treat your wife as a chattel designed for the gratification of your sensuality. It is gratifying to know it. Our business here is not to gratify each 9 ivtiS — 130 — i m passing desire, without regard to the consequences, but to regulate it with a view to preserving the integ- rity and harmony of all our powers. To report grati- fying progress. He is courting a quarrel for the sake of gratifying his spite. Gratifying success. To gratify wishes. It is gratifying to observe that arrangements are in progress for other amusements of which due notice will be given. Grave. — It should be resorted to only under the gravest circumstances, as it causes a disturbance of the various businesses of the country. Under the gravest circumstances. There seem to be grave doubts as to the wisdom of holding the exhibition. Grave mistakes. Gravity of event. Grave disclosures. They seem to have no idea of the gravity of the situation in France. Spe- culations are made and the gravest apprehensions felt in many quarters a? to his safety. He points out that the letter contains grave insinuations against his integ- rity and motives. Greet — He was greeted with deafening applause. His remarks were greeted with cheers. Applause greeted this declaration. They were the recipients of the ap- plause which invariably greets them. The news was greeted with ironical cheers. The shouts that greeted the outburst, and hailed each passage. Grief. — They have a just cause of grievance. Gro88. — His grossly immoral character, ^ It is a gross stretch of privileges. Gross misconduct and irregularities. Grotesque. — Grotesque episode. Ground. — With the directness of a man who is sure of his ground and knows whereof he speaks, he has pointed out how golden opportunities have been lost by wrongly directing our energies on this new path of na- tional enterprise. The strong grounds of objection to the proposal are that it will destroy the unity of the empire. The play is essentially a moral one, and on this ground alone, I claim that it is entitled to occupy as high a place as the works of more pretentious writers. Ex- emption from taxation on the ground of charity. He quashed the capias on the ground that the pretentions of the affidavit had not been substantiated. No fur- ther delay should be permitted on any gronnd. The same grounds that were urged in the previous pro- ceeding. They would make it a vantage ground for 131 -^ warfare upon England. There is no ground what- ever for the stateinent, or for despondency. Those are the grounds on which it was asked. He held that it was not so, and I took the same ground. However inde- fensible it may be on other grounds. You have no grounds for interference. On the ground of insufficiency of time for consideration. There is no ground for sus- picion. There is little probability of the ground taken in favor of the measure being abandoned. They apolo- gized for themselves on the ground that it is permissible to do evil that good may result. He is getting into hot water on the ground of ritualistic pratices. A ground- less assertion. An appeal was made from this decision on the ground that, &c. That is a new ground of attack. On personal grounds there can be no objection to him. On all these grounds be should hesitate before commit- ting himself to any sympathy with his movements. What grounds there are for this I am unable to learn. He took the ground that devotion to his duty cost him his life. I took the ground that the question was one of authority. He is released nominally on the ground of illness. There seems to be ground for the soreness he feels because of his treatment. I take you upon your own ground, and prove it upon your own showing. On the ground of negligence. We are widely separated by principle on political grounds, but we spent money to- gether in all sorts of conceivable ways I will beat you on your own ground. The claim is disputed on the ground that it is not due. Grow. — The society is rapidly growing. The situa- tion is growin<| worse, but no further deaths have occurred. The dislike grows daily. A good instru- ment in growing rich is method. Matters are daily growing worse. The feud between them is growing in iritensity. A growing danger. The strike is growing serious. Like a too vigorous youngster, it is growing faster than its clothes, and those interested in its wel- fare feel greatly worried over the problem how tc feed and clothe it. International complications are likely to grow out of the incident that has taken place here. The sentiment that this is due to the tardiness of pro- cedure, is growing to an alarming extent. Despite the fact that he is in a pitiable plight, uneasiness is not growing. His physical weakness is growing with rapid strides. t V4 -la :m:-'. If— 132 '•*-*' II*'' r Hint. — They hinted that the matter will soon come up. Hinge. — It hinges on the question of precedents. Hiss. — To hiss down a performance. He has been hissed for abjuring his faii;h. Hold. — I have never held any personal intercourse with a member of that persuasion. They are holding them up to the scorn of the nation. I held otherwise. You should not hold his conduct up to public abhorrence. The police held them^ in check. Advanced liberals hold that diplomatic complications must inevitably ensue. The aim has been to hold conservative ground and not mislead by too favorable statements. Hf^ held an exalt- ed position. In his gubernatorial capacHy he held it in abhorrence. The favor in which it is held is illustrated by the great demand for it. The despatches indicate that Germany will hold aloof from the conference. He has held several positions of minor importance. He has held places of responsibility. Hold me excused 1 pray you. Hold to your opinion. It Ih held to be preven- table and avoidable. It is held to be of doubtful con- stitutionality. Hold up to them good example. They should hold the seales of justice evenly for all parties. Your objection does not hold good. They are held to swear to its correctness. French holds a high degree of importance in education. He holds out no hope of a settlement. The interview was held at my instance. This holds true of existing methods. I have held the place for close upon a year. The game seems to have taken An extraordinary hold on tlie people. He is held for trial. He held a prominent place among them. Once commenced, the reader is held irresistibly to the end. The evidence does not warront them in holding him. The old gentleman will doubtless be held up as an eminent example by believers in abstinence from flesh, tobacco and alcohol. Hold aloof from politics. It is held or thousjht that the effect of the disclosure will be to efiectually silence them. Honest. — I cannot honestly say that I am quite un- prejudiced. Hope.-r-Thsit is a hopeful sign of the times. He is hopelessly in love. Hopelessly mad. Hoping for a suaden acquisition of wealth. His cerebral affection is hopeless. Though having only a forlorn hope, he answer- ed the question decisively. You seem to be under a — 135 ~ lance. d the have I held them, o the ilding up as from CR. It le will be un- He is for a bion is Inswer- ider a misapprehension as to her hopeful views of the tempe- rance cause. He went away in the hope of restoring health, but returned unimproved. Horrify. — I am horrified at his conduct. It was nothing short of horrible. It is amusing to find it hol- ding up its hands in pious horror. Hostile. — Hv3 is openly hostile to me. His hostility is shown in the fact that, &c. The French papers, in their comments, are strongly hostile to Germany though other journals are next co silent. Hostile to interests. B'ot. — The battle between them is waxinff hot. Hour. — His death is hourly expected. My stay was limited to an hour. His arrival is the sensation of the hour. He is the lion of the hour. Htige. — They are enjoying themselves hugely, and doing the surroundings of the city while in the throes of revolution. Hwmhle. — He humbled him to the dust. Humor. — A humorous story. Idea. — He is an ideal Irishman taking life pretty much as It comes. It is excellent as an idea. That is his ideal of a happy home, as embodied in the report. The originality of his ideas. That is my idea of pro- priety in dress. They scorned the idea that they had any hand in the affair. To nurse ideas. It is a nice idea, but we have not money enough to carry it through. An insane idea. The bad weather precludes the idea of doing so. They poohpoohed the idea of his being a good shot. The simpliest ideas imaginable. Identity. — Our interests are not identical in that con- nection. They have found no clue to his identity. The uncertainty and doubt surrounding his identity with evidence of murder has been cleared up. Idle. — It is idle to suppose such a thing possible. Whoever is poor here is poor through idleness or drink. It is idle to guess. Idle guesses. Identify. — My interests are closely identified with the scheme. He has thoroughly identified himself with the cause of Russia. Ignoble.— An ignoble policy. Ignore. — The question should not be ignored under the circumstances. To ignore responsibilities and in- terests. It is wicked to ignore the fact that, &c. To ignore necessity. It is entirely ignored. I ignore his .-*' y^, 13B — \M^ lllr'<^' ' M'^'li 1 '^^ f '■.' .'5/ • threats. I hope no consideration will induce you to ignore your paramount interest. That is a fact which it is idle to ionore. To ignore demands. The policy of ignoring it is not a good one. To ignore laws. He ignores the House of Lords. He is ignored in court cir- cles. Modesty is a good cover to ignorance. He ignores my wishes. All considerations of public policy are ignored, although you must be aware they possess im- mense weight, and set aside the verdict of those who know them best. Illegitimate. — There is nothing illegitimate in all this. Ill-fated. — Ill-fated expedition. Illustrate. — The reverses of fortune are well illus- trated in him. His recklessness illustrates one evil effect in dulling the sensibilities to ordinary caution. Short comings of the system illustrated. We shall shortly have an illustration of this. Nothing could illustrate more forcibly its importance than the fact already established. The actor's inconsistencies illus- trated. They mock at the principle and illustrate the practice. In part illustration of this fact, let us take yourseir. Imagine.— It is one mass of foliage of all imaginable tints. It seems absurd for yon to imagine that, &;c. I cannot imagine any one who would regret them more. Why I should do so I cannot for the life of me imagine. They imagine themselves the champions of Toryism. Avoid over taxing your body and imagination. Imbue. — Imbued with the spirit of the age. The speeches were all imbued with the most cordial spirit of harmony. Im,mediate. — The glad news had an immediate effect on him. Im^mense. — They were immensely superior in num- ber. An immense difference. An immense gathering (of people). Immyolate. — He has been immolated on the altar of their mad ambition. Im,pede. — It impedes the circulation. They impede the progress of the structure. Im^minent. — To the imminent risk of his life. Impair. — Such action will tend to impair English influence. Impart. — The coincidence imparts, if possible, addi- tional sadness to the accident.

Impend. — There is a strike impending. h Impetus. — He has given a new impetus to that enter? prise. Imperative. — It is your imperative duty to give authoritative information concerning it. It is impera- tive that the government use all the power at its dispo- sal to restore order. Imperil. — To imperil the interests of justice. It would imperil your chances. To imperil unity. Impel. — He was impelled to study it by his widowed mother. . . ' Implicate. — There is nothing in the evidence even by implication. He is implicated in the affair. In the pre- sent instance it very pointedly implicates him. He has been implicated in more than one shady enterprise. Imply. — When it is said his life was comparatively speaking an uneventful one, it by no means implies it was not a busy one. He will use his influence for that purpose, with the understanding expressed or implied that, &;c. Broad churchman, high churchman, whatever meaning those terms imply. It is not ultra sensational as its name might imply. It would all fall to nothing without manual labor, and manual labor implies men. He was indiscreet enough to say by implication that, &c. There is more implied than is openly expressed in this persistent cry. There is an implied (understood) con- tract between them. The fact does not in any respect imply responsibility on my part. His remarks are held to imply a gradual change of front on his part, and the abandonment of the expedient of boycotting in favor of his own method. Impose. — His illness actually imposes complete rest. The burden that such improvements naturally impose. Work under such circumstances imposes serious results upon the mind. That is a difficult task you impose on me. , Import. — In some important respects. Charges of great importance are imminent. To add to importance. It would lessen its importance. Impossible. — It is next to impossible. War is not an I impossibility. It makes trade all but impossible. Impress. — The impression is gaining ground that, &;c. I I was impressed with those considerations. Two facts ^v i :. 1 ^1 h'A'i — 138 ■»•■(!: ^ I: ■.; must impress the visitor ; viz. : that the disease is abat- ing, and that its ravages have been largely confined to children. Her earnestness impressed me more than I care to confess. I am strongly impressed with the belief that, &c. He made a good impression on the audience. It is quite unnecessary, I imagine, to impress upon you the importance of securing some means of support. They impress foreigners \ritn the conviction that jour- nalistic interest is nt a pretty low ebb. I impressed upon my hearers that, &c. I am impressed with the importance of it. That is the prevailing impression. I am impressed with your countenance. It misrepresents my ideas and impressions. What are your impressions of him. I am strongly impressed with that opinion. The impression exists that, &c. I cannot too strongly impress upon you that I am specially interested. You should impress upon them thf necessity of vigorous action and the propriety of doing it. I am impressed with the justice of your claim. She impressed me very favorably. That is my impression of her beauty. She gives one the impressions of a servant. The day wa observed with impressive ceremonies. We wish to im- press upon you the undeniable fact that it is the great- est possible economy. There was a general impression that something dramatic was going to happen, and the public interest long languishing was revived. The sight of 1,000,000 people in the streets is an impressive one, but what you say is physically impossible. That is a good enough story for the marines, but among the old sailors the impression is general that, &c. His face wai wreathe4 in smiles, and his general demeanour would impress one with the idea that his great tt auble weighed but lightly on his shoulders. Disagreeably impressed by meetings. Improbable. — An improbable rumour. It is quite im- probable that, &c. j Improve. — Improve on the example. We want an im- j proved sanitary condition, and not nationality squabbles. it has been a means of improving property. With im* proved methods, there is reason to look to the future I with confidence. His condition is improving. They have been improving the occasion by railing at each other. Excessive work wont improve matters, but nol change for the worse has occurred. The pot^ioy of the! — 139 — ir n ^oy medecine improves with time and une. He is markedly improving in strength. His health is improved. He is improving upon things. He is always on the side of improvement. ImpudeTit. — With matchless impudence. Impugn. — To impugn motives and conduct. I would Dot for one moment impugn your statement on that point. I had no thought of impugning his action, or to^ iiDDiite motives which have no existence. Impel. — My first impulse was to kick him. Impunity. — What can be done with impunity in Lon- don cannot be safely repeated here. Impute. — To impute inaccuracies. I impute no blame to you. The disgrace must be imputed to the people a.^ a whole. They impute to him a thoughtless longing for war. It is falsely imputed to the ill-nature of man- Icind. I have no fear of the imputation of indolence. It i8 cruel to impute wrong doing to her. Inability.. — He expressed his inability to io it. Their inability to beat the team was a great calamity. Inaccessible. — He is as inaccessible as a king. Inadequate. — He has a very inadequate notion of the extent and value of our resources. The court room is- miserably inadequate to the requirements. The inade- quacy of grammar towards the acquisition of modern languages is manifest. It is inadequate to come any- where near doing the affair justice. Inaugv/rate. — A moTement has been inaugurated. He inaugurated a gay and reckless career of dissipation. An inaugral address. The snowshoeing season is prac- |tically inaugurated. The major portion of his inaugral peech will deal with such matters. The proceedings of e convention proper will be inaugurated at the town all, and between times during their stay, drives will arranged, and all will wind up with a banquet. Incalculable. — His services have been of incalculable alue. You would do them an incalculable good. Its alqe is incalculable. IncapaMe, — So much for his assertion as to their in- .pacity..ft '.

Notwith- standing the incessant downpour of rain a goodly num- ber had met. Incident — The execution was without sensational incidents. Thrilling and pathetic incidents. Your in- cidental remarks in your issue of to-day concerning me, renders it imperative for me to ^laim the right of replying. Thai was the only incident of my journey. The incident shows the current of Irish political feeling. An incident has occurred which shows conclusively that private and peisonal interests are at the bottom of the agitation fomented there. The incident created some excitement. I incidentally referred to the matter. In- cidental expen.ses for which I received no adequate r'^- tuni. The excitement incident (peculiar) to horse races was at its height. It passed off without much incident. The most remarkable incident in connection with it was the speaker's answer. He is making capital oiit of the incident. Commotion on the Sackville incident is active, and England is urged to retaliate. He inquired into the circumstances of the incident which he de- plored. Ivicite. — They are sparing no efforts to incite the mob to violence. It is an incitement to personal violence, but more than this, it is an incitement to violence against all that is respectable. It degrades them by inciting to deeds unworthy of men. It would incite him to still abler efforts in the oratorical line. Incline. — Lingering prejudice in the minds of some of them inclin.^d them to refusal. Incomparably cheaper. Inconceiiiahle.—Y or some inconceivable reason. ' IncoTiiprehensible. — Was there over such incompre- hensible rot ? j Inconside'i^able. — It is very inconsiderable. We have made no inconsidorable advance towards intimacy. Inconsistent. — It is inconsistent with justice and moderation. Inconsistent with principles. His incon sistency and recklessness, was not to be exceeded by| any one, and I fagged after him with all my might ani main, which soon bri ^;ht me to the confines of'di.strac tion. Inconvenience. — To iiiconvenience travellers. Incorrigible. — An incorrigible old bachelor. jf everytl ^ndepei ^ould be Indicat lis appoi lat the r( ^e was fo ordered, . which ( 'on indica M''aordin "Cation tl idicates ihere are t — 141 — wmmmmmm"^^!

Increase. — The excitement over the political situation is iincreasing. The number of residents is largely on the increase. In justice to them, no less than with a view to their improvement, their salaries should be substantially increased. The exodus from the city is increasing. The water is increasing in volume. The tension between France and Germany increases daily. livery day increases his popularity.. It is gradually and steadily on the increase. He is increasingly unpo- pular. He has not increased his claim to my gratitude. 1 am anxiously looking for delivrance from the increa- jsing evils of the liquor traffic. In view of the bets interest in the race is steadily increasing. It keeps on I increasing year by year, and 1 am determined to grapple I with the evil realizing that nothing but drastic measu- Ires will suffice and the effect and beneficial result will soon be visible to the gratification of abiding citizens. Inculcate. — I never heard it inculcated as a com- Ipulsory duty, or even desirable. Incur. — To incur expenses. He raised a loan to meet Ithe expenses incurred in coping with the disease. To lincur liability. They would incur the trouble and pos- Isibly the risk of bringing them to justice. A consider- lable loss of time will be incurred either by making the llines larger than is necessary, or by writing the words la considerable distance apart. He incurs a serious jresponsibility in taking this step. To incur disabilities [and impute negligence. Indeacrihable. — It was popularly supposed that they liad no means of subsistence, that their hou.se was bare [)f everything and indescribably filthy. Independent. — A sprinkling of independent men Tould be invaluable. Indicate. — There are indications that it is otherwise. fis appointment as governor would seem to indicate hat the result of his visit is viewed with satisfaction. le was found with every indication of having been iiurdered. It may be well to indicate more pointedly which direction reference was made. His conversa- tion indicates a reticent disposition. His eyes indicate htraordinary sensibility. Taking the betting as an in- dication the chances are considered as even. The result Qdicates the utter want of influence in this particular. [here are as yet no indications of a turn in the tide, ;--e withdrew. They indulged [freely.

He indulges in habits of dissipation. To indulge in irascibility. Telegraphing does not seem to have been indulged in to any great extent. He is indulging in a jubilation all by himself after the fashion of Garry Owen. Industry. — The alleged discovery will revolutionize the leather industry. Inevitable, — Its failure is inevitable, nor can its demerits remain long undetected. There is nothing left to me to do but to bow as cheerfully as possible to the inevitable. He yielded to the inevitable. Infamy. — They are hotbeds of infamy. Infer. — That is the inference to be drawn from their act. I infer from the many incidents of his career that, &c. The inference is obvious. Infinite. — It is infinitely preferable. Inflame. — It would inflame antipathy between the races. Inflexible. — 1 have made it an inflexible rule to, &c. Inflict. — To inflict wrongs. He inflicted great slaugh- ter 0:1 them. He will, in the natural order of events, be called upon to stand account for wrongs inflicted on an unoflending people. To inflict a heavy sentence and privations. Fate has inflicted a crushing blow upon us. Influence. — You cannot influence them in that way. Ono can scarcely over estimate the mother's influence in the moulding of the character of her oflspring. I am very .susceptible to social influence. Outside of London he has no influence whatever. His decision should not be influenced in the remotest degree. It will influence their action. Those are the motives which influence me in leaving. His personal influence has much to do with its success. He is a man of social and political influence. An influential man. It is likely to influence them directly. Take care you are not getting under an in- fluence. It is semi-officially denied that he tried to influence them. Influenced by religious feelings. He I was under the influence of liquor, and used very strong language. He is not influenced by respect for the law. Noxious influence. His influence was distinctly seen in the fate of the motion. Those are the considerations! which influenced personal action. An influential depu- — 146 — e to, &c. : slaugh- (rents, be 3d on an nee and upon us. ■ lat way. .uence in ;.

It is the mother's influence which constitutes the main spring of action, hence the appropriate adage : " They that rock the cradle rule the world." There is no resisting the traces of a well directed influence. The moon's influence upon the weather is accepted by some, by others it is disputed. While exempting you from any intention to influence the court I think you have set an unhappy precedent. The attempt to influence them proved an utter failure. They used some persuasion to influence them before proceeding on their journey. Inflv/jc of visitors, emigrants, &;c. InforTTi. — The information that he is arrested on in- formation given by his sister, and that the authorities have kept the fact of the arrest with the greatest secrecy, but for what reason it is not known, unless it is to weave a strong chain of evidence, is vouched for by the writer. He is well informed in such matters. You ought to have informed the authorities of the m «tter — of the facts of the case. He looked as if he would give the world to know what had happened, but no information was vouchsafed him. He was very loth to give information. Information is lacking. I am better informed on matters of interest to Ganadiaiis, and I do not take back a single word. On the judge enquiring the object of the society he was informed that the main object was to further American principles. Infrequent. — Such things are not infrequent. Acci- dents are by no means infrequent. Infringe. — There may be exceptional circumstances where this rule is infringed. There has been no attempt to infringe upon our rights or rules. Informal. — He made an informal speech. Informal opening of works. Inimical. — It is inimical to prosperity in general and to our interests in particular. Iniquity. — The legality of this iniquitous imposition should be contested. An informal supper was tendered him, and a resolution in accordance with the object of the meeting was passed. Infuse. — It seems to have infused new life into everybody. Some new blood has been infused into the board. Infuse into them a resolute law abiding dispo- sition. If a few e'rains of common sense could be in- 10 c -:rv;-,; — 146 — fused into their noddles. The article shows no abate- ment of the vigor he is accustomed to infuse into his writings. ' Inhale. — To inhale fumes. Ingenious. — There is, so far as we can make out, no complexity, no fine drawn ingenuity, no far fetched device in it. Initiate. — To initiate a practice. They have initiated steps for a settlement. Injure. — Injurious to success. Inquire. — We have been inundated with a deluge of inquiries. Careful inquiries showed that, &c. The government has shelved everything by the promise of an inquiry. He inquired anxiously as to public feeling in regard to his case, and on being informed that there was a widespread sympathy be expressed great satis- faction. It should be inquired into. He is inquiring into my present circumstances. Insensible. — He was kicked almost to insensibility. I am not insensible of the weight and dignity which a moderate share of wealth adds to character and action. Inscrutable. — For some inscrutable reason. Insolent. — The rude look, the insolent stare, the indifferent glance. Inspire. — To inspire an unhappy passion. The con- spiracy was inspired by Russia and the article by Bis- marck. Insidious. — He is the victim of an insidious disease known as creeping paralysis. No insidious designs are concealed beneath their regulations. Insignificantly small. Insist. — He insisted that it is the public which gives the aldermen all their pointers. Instance. — One instance of biting does not establish a dog's bad character. She instanced the indignities she had suffered. He was arrested at my instance. The fact is a notable instance of the progressive character ofi English legislation. Still further instances. There was , not an adverse vote given in a single instance. He was i arrested on a charge of criminal libel at my instance.] Among them may be instanced Whitfield whose astonish- ing powers extract admiration from us, but whose name I would have floated down the stream of time had not I shorthand rescued a portion of his labors from oblivion. — 147 — 11 He instanced a case where a man, &c. Other instances are namarous. In many instances they had recourse to unnecessary brutality. As an argument in his favor he instanced the fact that, &c. Instigate. — He was the instigation of the revolt. Instinct. — Instinctively I knew it was he. He has the instincts of a gentleman. Institute. — A vigorous canvas was instituted. They have instituted a system of boycotting. A search was instituted. Inquiries were instituted among the fre- quenters of the house. Instil. — Instil into his mind deep notions of religion. Inatirument. — He is an instrument for the spread of the most radical forms of socialism. Insufficient. — It is altogether insufficient. The accom- modations are insufficient. This is by itself insufficient. Insufficient proof. Insult. — It is an insult to common sense. Immperable. — It was insuperably grand. Integrity. — He is sensitive with regard to the asper- sions upon his integrity. There is no more decided par- tisan of the integrity of Turkey than France. Integral. — It is an integral part of it. Intellect. — Spiritually, intellectually, socially and physically. His intellectual gifts are of a rare order. Intense. — The mayoralty contest is becoming in- tensely personal. I listened to him intensely through- out. It would intensify national feeling. The course of events has for some time been tending to make them more self assertive, and this action has intensified the bitterness existing between them. To his intense dis- comfort. It only intensifies public fear. Agitation on this subject is becoming most intensified. The trouble is intensified by your action. It would intensify the prejudice which exists among a certain class. It is gaining in area what it is losing in intensity. Public sympathy for her is intensified by the fact that, &c. Intensely black. It is intensely amusing. He managed to keep his audience intensely interested throughout. My desire for news was intense. The war scare is in- tensified not a little by the excessive stringency of che measures employed. To foster and intensify discontent. To intensify interest. The public is intensely excited over the affair and the numerous complications it en- — 148 — I tails. The stench which had heen increasing in inten sity at this point might be cut. It would intensify re- ligious differences and arouse fanaticism. Intention. — Give us an insight into your intentions. His advice was well intentioned. Speeches intended to intimidate. The best intentions are often upset by un- toward circumstances. I had been forewarned of his intentions, which enraged him. The intention of putting an ice strucjiure there in the shape of a Summer house was discussed. He intended him for the priesthood, and, with a view to that result, sent him to college. It is supposed, the deceased having intended his lamentable act, wandered the streets and took away his life. Give an ernest of your intention to grapple with the impend- ing distress of the heirs to whom the property is to re- vert. Intent. — Let things be done with a good intent. Without any mischievous intent. They argue that if he was innocent in intent he would have come forward having got thus far. His mind is intent upon trjfles. It removes all presumption of criminal intent on my part, so that you cannot use your civil remedy effectively. He is to all intents a political prisoner. Being intent on matrimony she persistently pursued her lover. I am intent on your interest. To all intents and pur- poses it has passed into his possession, and it is quite within the region of probability that he will not put up with any of the vagaries of officialism. Interest. — He feels the keenest interest in it. He has been returned in the liberal interest. A brief state- ment of the board's action would be interesting. They interested themselves in his case, and their intervention resulted in his liberation. It will interest the piano trade. It is looked forward to with deep interest. Nobody ever makes even a pretence of consulting Tur- kish interests. If they were interested in getting him hanged they scarcely could have employed surer means to succeed than they have used. In justice to them, as well as in the interests of public health. A great deal of interest attaches to his case. There is unabated in- terest in it. Public interest in the new cabinet focuses on three figures. It would be interesting to know it. It is in the interest of the country that this should bu the case. It will make an interesting case. An mte- U9 — resting event. An interesting question. That is the most interesting part of it. I am not interested to such an ex- tent. To excite interest. I am not directly interested in the matter. I am largely interested in it. A profound in- terest was felt. You will find much to interest you. We are eqy«1!y interested in knowing if there is a probability of a fatal termination. It is of a peculiarly interesting kind. I am interested to that amount. I have no very direct interest in the matter. Your arguments interest me profoundly. It has given rise to general interest. They have found food for gossip in his interesting adventures. The feeling is almost universal that he will visit him in your interest. I have relinguished my interest in the estate. No book can challenge compa- rison with it either in interest or accuracy. I have not an atom of interest in it. The book contains a good deal of interesting reading. That is one of the points of interest of the murder. Our interests have been blighted by the baneful effects of. British legislation in this particular line. It is a matter of much interest to all. None equal it in interest or importance, the adver- tisements being on the same basis as those which appear in other papers, to which people reply with varying results. He is intriguing against our interests instead of advancing them. The men who are interesting them- selves in the question of providing residences on the principle of the Peabody homes for the poorer classes, have been conducting a canvas of a number of leading capitalists, with a view to securing their cooperation, and report that they met with great encouragement, and hope to be able to call a meeting to place the project on a practical basis. Considerable interest atta- ches to the proceedings. As the time for the trial approaches, popular interest centres largely in the con- vict. They mourned me as dead, and I affected great interest in the matter. It is the easiest thing imagina- ble to those interiested, provided they carefully note every particular. Much interest centres around his house which presented a clean appearance. The scene I of the murder is a point of interest as the trial draws {near. Admission is by ticket, and once in the hall, [everything betokens the widespread interest that is being taken in the case. Intense interest attaches to her, but her alleged disappearance turned out to be r.a '■*/.■' ffi^^h^lli — 150 — m ■a m pure canard. The fact of its having been published neightened all the more the interest taken in her. Those immediately interested in the trial did not take kindly to this treatment. There was no abatement of interest in the trial throughout the day. He rose in the interest of harmony and peace, and, appealing to their moral and generous sense invoked peace, — the order of the day was then reached. Interfere. — He has been snubbed for interfering with matters with which he had nothing to do. I believe, and am confirmed in my belief by the best authorities, that my power of interference is limited. England does not think it compatible with her dignity to in- terfere in internal disputes. It would not interfere to any appreciable extent with their privileges. It will not interfere with the requirements of your profession. It need not interfere with your ordinary avocations in life. Intermission. — They had refreshments during the intermission. Interpose. — His counsel interposed with the objection that, &c. He interposed, and the matter was allowed to drop for the time being. For parliament to interpose now would be a blunder even from the standpoint of those who are opposed to the measure. No obstacle was interposed to his appointment. Intei^ret. — The people will easily interpret his pre- sence but for which a riot would have occurred. It is not susceptible of the interpretation given to it by un- scrupulous political wire pullers. They interpret his language to mean that, &c. That is an extraordinary interpretation of the report. Good intentions must be interpreted by acts, and in any case they should be accepted as an offset to inhumanity. His passionate expressions should not be interpreted against me. His references are variously interpreted, and not always in a spirit of gratitude. The popular feeling may be in- terpreted by the fact that, &;c. His silence is interpreted as an indication of coolness. Interrupt— QimMy of unseemly interruption. It is an interruption of traffic. Intersect. — Where the streets intersect. Intervene. — The powers will intervene. Intimate. — He intimated his desire to do as at pre- H .? .' 151 sent arrauged. He ^ave no intimation of his intention to leave the city. The " Herald " intimates that it will become a source of danger to Germany. He has in- timated his conversion to Home Rule. He intimated his prohable early withdrawal from active politics. Intolerant. — An intolerable nuisance. He has apo- logized for his intolerable language. The sound is intolerably harsh. Intrepid. — Intrepid courage. Intrench. — They should not intrench upon their free- dom to the extent of refusing their rights. Introduce. — When was the idea of numbering dogs introduced ? It is a great drawback to introducing the system. Intricate. — The paths of virtue are arduous and intricate. Intrude — His intrusion at such a moment was an unfortunate circumstance. Unwarrantable intrusion. Invade. — He invaded my private room. Invariable. — Crowded houses continue to be the in- variable rule. Invariably polite. Almost invariably 30. They invariably give satisfaction. Invent. — A grosser fabrication could not possibly have been invented. He is of an inventive turn of mind. Invest. — He invests extensively in farms. Men in- vested with the administration of justice. Investigate. — On investigation I found that were she alone she would, &c. During the course of the inves- tigation curious facts came to light. They are investi- gating his mysterious disappearance. They are in- vestigating the circumstances in connection with her death. It would be exceedingly interesting to investi- gate the reasons for doing so. To investigate a case. Inveterate. — I have an inveterate dislike to it. Invite. — The council is inviting tenders for the elec- tric light. Houses are huddled together in such a manner as to invite disease. I cordially invite your cooperation. I invite correspondence through your columns with a view to marriage and a happy future after the matrimonial question has been broached. We invite your hearty cooperation in ^he work. Invoke. — There is not a mitigating circumstance, he even going so far as to invoke his own turpitude. Involuntary. —-It represents or means the intensifica- I! m UVHl W-. — 152 — '",■.' >■ ■" . ■■■. tion of the greatest curse of the age, that of involuntary poverty. Involve. — Such concession would not involve the se- paration of Ireland from England. The law points involved were argued. The responsibility involved in taking office is great. The question involves exemption from municipal taxation. The step involves the gravest consequences. They are examining the legal questions involved in it. Our dearest interests are involved in it. The litigation involved is sufficiently alarming, but beyond what is apparent there is a hidden danger cover- ed by the word " proscribe " whose power for mischief no one can measure. Without involving any detriment to your prearranged affairs. There is no question of religion or nationality involved in buying a water cart. The amount involved is large. The failure will likely involve some other firms. They have interpreted it very unnecessarily as involving the abandonment of all belief in religion. I need not go into particulars. The scandals involved in the affair will grossly compromise his reputation. He is involved to that extent. It in- volves positive loss. I object to the principles which its provisions involve. What are those treaties if they do not involve the principles of reciprocity. That would involve doing the work over again with no clear prospect of advantage. His prosecution involves the necessity of procuring the evidence giv • .. It would involve them in prolonged and disastrous trouble. The system in- volves the employment of many clerks. Only in excep- tional instances is there any hardship involved in the surrender of our rights. It would involve great sacrifice. It threatens ^o involve Germany. Although the amount involved is comparatively small still the circumstances connected with the case are sufficiently distressing. Those are the difficulties involved in the issue to be decided. The question involves enormous interests. The changes involved in the creation of a parliament. A question involving the fate of the Empire. Home rule would not involve separation. To involve France in a war with Germany. It is a matter of the gravest im- portance involving great issues. A motion involving the existence of the ministry. An action involving a large amount. Some idea of the labor this involves may be formed from his statement. He is to be congratula- — 153 ption avest itions in it. ;. but cover- schief •iment ion of r cart. likely eted it t of all ;. The )romise It in- hich its ihey do would )rospect ecessity ;e them ted on having involved his country in a serious mis- understanding with America. He commended himself to their approval in involving the two countries. The only complication involved in this mode of settlement is the fact that, &c. Becoming involved with her in a quarrel he drew his pistol. It ultimately involved me in distressing difficulties. The playing involved a great expenditure of physical strength. The Police reported to the government involving his lordship and requesting him to desist from watching the case. His retirement needs not involve political inactivity. His scheme of settlement according to the accepted report in diplomatic circles involves the displacing of Prince Ferdinand and the substitution of his brother in his stead, and this proposal wil! add to the general embroglio. All they could get out of him was that three trains were involved in the common ruin. Irreclaimable. — He is irreclaimable. Irremediable. — It is irremediable. Irresistible. — The influence is irresistible. There is something irresistibly comic in the quiet way in which he said it. Irritate. — I am irritated and puzzled at your silence. Irritated at his utterances. Ii^espective. — Irrespective of political creed, I advo- cate extended powers. Isolate. — Even if isolated frtcts of the kind were proven, it would not justify such a course. Issue. — He boasted with a degree of earnestness that aroused repeated cheers, that they would meet whatever issue might be presented That will be the next issue in the case. They are angry over what they call his evasion of the real points at issue. They will carry on the struggle to a successful issue. They have suspended the issue. They are discussing the issues before the country. The issues actually involved in the revolt were purely local. In this issue of the paper. They are coming to un issue on it. The issue of home rule is I now fairly before the English people. The Riel issue has carried the day. The issue must be faced. Threats of personal violence began to issue. Suicide, which occurs at the very outset of derangement, is the logical issue of the failure of nutrition that results from want of sleep. To issue orders. A lengthy law suit would t' i i ■ji ■1 ' -a' i^-^-» .„„-^-l«* — issne involving many interests. Until we have seen it issue from its primary source, and followed it in its various developments. I have very little doubt as to what the issue will be,. To issue instructions. The iasue is absolutely in doubt. It has been brought to a successful issue. He addressed them on the political issues. A satisfactory issue has been reached. The writ was issued at my instance. Important principles are at issue. The public are awaiting the issue with no other wish than that he may succeed. To day in our temples of justice where hang the great issues of life and death, of property and liberty and character, we find it an active principle in the administration of the law. Instructions were issued to the contrary. The issue before us is no longer the Jesuit act, but the broader question of constitutional rights of which their endowment is but an evidence, and cannot be success- fully resisted, much less overthrown ; they are truck- ling to Rome and pandering to the catholic vote. I have taken di ^ect issue with him about his mother's condition. Upon this ground issue is joined. In Mon- treal high liquor taxation is the chief issue. He ex- pressed his uneasness over the issue of the difficulty with England, and orders are beginning to be tardily carried out. You should make the deputations that are besieging the town hall an issue. He is keenly alive to the preparations that are being made for the immediate issuance of the letters. The labor problem is the most vital issue that confronts English statesmanship. Item. — I cannot give you an item of information. Those are the latest items of interest. They fought each item tooth and nail. Items of news about my mo''^ements are of ludicrous inaccuracy. As an item of news, the announcement that the prestige of the minis- try is on the wane, has become monotonous. Jam. — The place v/as jammed. Job. — The whole business is a put up job. Joint Political meeting. . _ Join. — I wish I could join in those bright anticipa- pations. Join with us in mutual congratulations. Jot. — Jottings from Paris. Jubilant. — They are jubilant over his crushing vic- tory. There is great jubilation ov3r his escape. Judge. — Judging from his utterances taken in con- len it n its as to The t to a Utical The iciples ith no in our ues of xacter, tion of -. The )ut the ■h their juccess- > truck- /ote. I Qother'3 [n Mon- He ex- lifficulty I tardily that are alive to imediate ihe most mation. fought )out my item of le minis- anticipa- ms. Iiing vie- in con- — 155 -^ nection with his views on the question. As far as it is^ possible to judge the disposition of the court i to award damages. Judge rightly in the matter. The goodness of the work must be judged by its results. We must- judge of the expediency of the ono and the utility off the other by an elastic standard. All I judge incumbent, upon me is briefly to point out its several uses. I judged the government on its merits solely froo. then on. Judicious. — He made judicious use of his indisposi- tion by keeping the reporters at bay. Juncture. — At this juncture he sprang to his feet. At this juncture the police arrived or came up. Completely penniless at this juncture (of being a stranger) the opportunity offered of obtaining a place, and he seized upon it as an alternative against starvation. At this juncture another lover appeared on the scene, who per- suaded her the night before the marriage was to have occurred, that her discarded lover was indifferent. Jurisdiction. — It is within the exclusive jurisdiction of parliament. Just. — There can be no just grounds for it. Justice is always strong. Thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just ; and though we never make wanton attacks on rivals we hold self-defence a duty to ourselves and and the public whom we serve. Justify. — His removal is not justifiable. Was the rebellion justifiable. To justify conduct. How far such a manceuvre would be justifiable is a matter of opinion. That observation has been justified by events. Justifi- cation of attacks. . I am not sure that he is altocrether justified in doing so. If it is true that the end justifies the means, it did so in this case. The result will justify your most ardent expectations. Some people have the idea that the mere fact that they do not like the law is sufficient justification for their breaking it. To justify action. The occasion justified bitterness. Their action seems to be justifiable in view of the stipulation men- tioned to the effect that, ii,c.\ but the only reason for this ill-feeling is very obviously in their habits. Keep. — The hour of his departure had been kept secret on purpose, but somehow or other it leaked out, and there I was an immense concourse of people of all grades. He {keeps himself persistently before the people. Keep the affair from the ears of the authorities. Keep him under \ ^ ■ • ' uw W4 l'#' ■■;' — 166 — restraint. Keep him in subjection. Religious issues (questions) should be kept out of politics. It is scarcely in keeping with his dignity. They kept up a desultory debate. Keep his memory green. A look out was kept for htm. His tears will keep the grass green upon your ffrave. We shall have no difficulty in keeping the disease under control. He kept the audience laughing almost continuously. The present is not a cruel age, and if interest in boxing is kept up, it is not because people delight in thinking about wounds. To prove that this is the case, it is only necessary to think of the indignation that is caused when one tighter takes undue advantage of another. . Keen. — She feels the disgrace of her poverty with much keenness. He feels keenly his position. Kindle. — It has kindled anew the feeling of irritation against the authorities. Know. — Nothing definite is yet known. Every wo- «ian knows that a promise is not marriage. Knuckle. — He knuckled down. Knight. — A knight of the ace of spades (a gambler). Labor. — He explained the present situation, alluding to the grievances which they labored under. He is laboring under a misapprehension as to my meaning. He labored indefatigably to secure the accession to the throne of him on whom he had built his hopes. Lack. — There is great lack of prudence in the way of procuring information. There will be no lack of amu.se- ment. His statement lacked completeness wid evoked no enthusiasm from any quarter. It lacks the elemen- tary principles of justice. Lack of means. Lack of telegraphic facilities. Lack of charity. The rumour lacks official confirmation. What it lacks in quantity it makes up in quality. The city has no lack of public spirit. I lack the opportunity to satisfy my longing. There is important information lacking in the case. The report lacks confirmation. Lack of space. There was almost a complete lack of interest shown in the affair. There is no lack of cures for the common ail- ment known as corns. The scheme lacks the element of a natural need. His reply lacks appreciation of uiy position and my extreme provocation. It is apparent he is not lacking in vanity. Loiter. — ^The latter mode is more effective, but it is attended with considerable danger. — 157 Lament. — I lament the acute dissensions among you and the vein of thought permeating your lectures swayed as you are by conflicting emotions. It would be a lamentable thing to see the civilization of the 19th century so clouded. Languish. — The conversation languished. Language. — Its animus is clear in the defiant lan- guage employed. Lapse. — Lapse of time. It is lapsing into a cold for- mality. A mass of boiling, seething humanity now makes the pavement tremble with shouts of approval, then "apses into ominous silence, &;c. Large. — The number of interments is especially large. In this he has been largely successful. La^h. — They have lashed themselves into fury upon the subject. The lash is unsparingly .used. Last. — This condition of things cannot last long. There is a well-defined impression that the thing will not last long. Duelling is on itj last legs. A last- ing reputation cannot be built upon such inferior articles. Lavibh. — He paid her his court and lavished his money and afiections on her, and afterwards sold her house- hold furniture and general belongings. Late. — On a late occasion. She has slight) 3^ rallied latterly. The latest sensation is an elopement. That s the latest about him. He gave assurance that that was his latest. Latitude. — Latitude of discussion should be allowed them. He was allowed to go on (i mtinue) with con- siderable latitude. Latitude of movement. Lax. — It is famous for the laxity of its morals. Law. — The immutable iws of nature. The lawsuit is in danger of a collapse. Lay. — His plans have been laid bare. Friendly greetings of hand shaking should be laid aside for the time. We laid down several conditions essential to the safe application of that principle. There are insects so small that 100,000,000 of them would lay together in the 100 part of an inch square. Laying aside all ex- aggeration and coming down to positive demonstration, it can be shown that it complies with those require- ments. Stress is lai. on the assumption that it will lead to trouble before long. Zo-se. — It is irrevocably lost. The law has lost its terrors for him. He lost blood copiously. I had an ad- venture yesterday; I lost my way. I was given up for lost, and a remarkable case of endurance was reported. I^ow. — To lower pride. LohaL — He sobbed loudly during the whole course of the address. The Press is loud against it. Lucid. — His reputation as a preacher is well knv^wn, and it is safe to predict that his subject will be lucidly explained and ably handled. Some demented creatures in their lucid moments. Lull. — There is a lull in the ever noisy matrimonial market. There is a lull in the storm to-day. Litre. — Lured to death. They kicked against the exactions after being lured to shame. Machination. — Through the machinations of a design- ing scoundrel. Make. — He is making for the coast. He made an impassioned speech. With these serious facts staring us in the face, its importance is made most clear. He made a favorable impression on the House. The wind] and weather conspired to make it disagreeable for us. They ma tor jportetl ourse o{ . known, e lucidly ireatuves ,nn»onial Anst the a design- made an Its staring tear. He J The wind' Ibleforns. lent wants lis difficult especially 1 [he women Ide. Trou- hotel ot Main. — He was the main attraction, and the way he was surrounded by admiring ladies left no doubt on the subject .in my own mind. In the main, they are a worthy class of men. The cause of recent unfavorable symptoms is mainly mechanical. It is the main diffi- culty. Mainspring. — It is the mainspring of his success. Maintain. — He maintains that it will solve many difficulties and relieve many apprehensions. It is just struggling to maintain an existence. I regard it as absolutely essential to the maintenance of his dignity. They have maintained an unbroken silence. Maintain your rights. He maintained his position, and retorted with alacrity. Some maintain that cheating and lying are quite justifiable in a. politician when party exigencies demand their employment ; and it is on this estimation that he characterizes his reputation as spotless. Per- sistently maintain the fundamental principle. To main- tain order under difficult conditions. Maintain your claims, and they will be ultimately conceded. Maintain order. The department is maintained in the highest possible state of efficiency. They should at all cost maintain the supremacy of the law. The meanest man up to date is a farmer who sold another farmer a half interest in a cow, and refused to divide the milk, maintaining that the other owned the front half. They deplored the fact, but maintained great reticence. On the whole, their attitude offers a sharp contrast to the defiant attitud' the anarchists maintained, and this seems all the stranger because public sentiment is not so strongly aroused against them as it was against the socialists and their confederates, and a good deal of speculation is being indulged in as to whether or not there will be any further delay. Malignant. — His respectability is far beyond the malignant sneers of the scribe who is capable of literary work of this disreputable character. Manage. — It is managed on precisely the same plan. I am careful in the management of my financial affairs. I took exception to certain remarks made by him to the ettect that the whole investigation was badly managed. The sanitary management is simply shocking. The whole affair was exceptionally well managed. That speaks volumes for his able management. >? iiii '!>• 'm :i 164 Xi u Mania, — His mania is developing. ManifeA. — ConMiderable interest has been manifested in musical circles generally, by the fact that, &c. The audience was immense, and great enthusiasm wa^s mani- fested. With manifest advantage. He manifested a great deal of interest in my comfort. An unusual inte- rest is manifested in it, in view of the recent move made by them. His unfitness is painfully manifest. It is manifest from the evidence submitted. He manifested a disposition to dissolve the tie. To his manifest reluc- tance. Here is an opportunity for your blue blood to manifest itself. The terrible effects of the storm are everywhere manifest. Manifold. — The reasons given are manifold. Maintain. — He will maintain a bold front when his capability becomes known. To maintain pretensions. They clambered up the precipitous blutf, when it seemed impossible to maintain a foothold. Manipulate. — Many a man is r v plodding along on a mere pittance, when he could wiiii capital soon double his fortune by successful business manipulation. Manner. — Jokes and sarcastic sayings were passed round in the most lovable manner. Suavity of manner. She sings in a r^anner which gives great promise for the future. His name is always linked with mine in some shape or manner. Many. — His many misdeeds. March. — Improvements according to the march of science. Mark. — To mark my disapproval I left the room. A public procession marked the proceedings. Its history has been marked by a dovelopment advantageous in the highest degree. His speech was marked by deep f.^eling. Great enthusiasm marked the proceedings. With marked attention. It was marked by enthusiastic una- nimity. They fittingly marked their respect for him. He has marked his tenure of oflSce by unnecessary exp'-nditure and extravagance. But mark the demea- nour of the witness. The occasion was marked liy much enthn>iasm, and the nice costumes lent an air i f gaiety to the scene. There was a marked change in the scene from that of the first evening. He has been markedly successful. He was of a markedly indtpen- dent turn of mind. It marks a new era in the history ' .

His views of truth are peculiar, and his action is correspondingly marked. I have brien instructed to apportion marks to the exercises sent for correction for those who are pre- cluded from taking personal instruction. Marvel. — The room is a marvel of the florist's skill. His speech is a marvel of thought and simplicity. The marvel is his mind is not deranged. Marvelously low prices. It is simply marvelous. Mass. — I thoroughly satisfied myself that he had fur- nished them secretly with a mass of information all tending to strengthen the annexation theory. The house is surrounded by dense masses of humanity. Master. — He is a master of oratory. Matter. — It settles the matter beyond doubt. This can leave no room for doubt on the matter. It was a matter of some difficulty to see him. He was, as a mat- ter of necessity, invited to dinner. It ought to be a matter of interest to all, for it establishes a precedent ' that may have a very important bearing upon the future of the country. His resignation is doubtless a matter of principle. As a matter of principle, it should not be encouraged. The materials for the formation of such a party are abundant. If the movement had the support of the clergy it would be a different matter. How that is to be done is a matter for consideration and discussion. You cannot view the matter honestly when bringing forward such considerations. He is calmly considering the matter. As a means of clearing up the matter, it may be well to call attention to the fact that he uses extravagant language. He takes an interest in the material prosperity of the country. That he should now be paying the penalty for overstraining nature, is not a matter for surprise. He is very much perplexed over the matter. It is a matter for conjecture. The par- ticulars of the matter have all been given. It would have been an easy matter to have accomplished this. Carefully i consider the matter. There is a great deal of feeling 1 over the matter. It is only a matter of opinion. It is 1 a matter for discussion. I do not deny ,the shortco- imings of hospitality, but when it comes to holding them up to public execration it is another matter altogether, lit is a matter of right and justice. That he has done — 166 — so, is to my thinking a very small matter. This is an extreme view of the matter. All matter of that cha- racter. It is a matter of vital importance to the whole civilized world. He was very discursive and broad in much extraneous matter. Popularity sometimes de- pends on a very small matter. It is a matter for won- der that, &c. A material witness. It is a matter for congratulation that, &c. A success which he himself materially helped to limit. Who it is, is a matter for controversy. Their condition is nr.aterially improved. Emigration is materially increased. That is the material the cricketers are going to put in the field. This is the gist of the whole matter. A material portion of it. A material reduction. He offered me material assistance. Those are only mere material considerations. He re- pudiates any idea of fraud in the matter. It is a matter which concerns me. The matter was dropped for the time. His testimony confirmed my statement in all material points. The court has jurisdiction in matters of civil right. It is of material importance. The exact number is not a matter of great consequence. Such matters will out. The world has been making great material progress, but its moral progress is not so great. We have not, in any proportionate degree, increased our control over ourselves. It is justly a matter of sur- prise. Nor is it a matter of small importance that he is lumished with an easy means of earning his living. It does not matter two straws to me. It is a commercial matter. The simple truth of the njatter is, that his vic- tims are of the class who marry in haste and repent at leisure. You have overlooked certain considerations w^hich are material to the discussion. I speak of the matter as one of importance. W^hy make his wealth a matter of reproach. Now, as a matter-of-fact, was it not open to them to have adopted it. It is a matter of some little importance. Whose it is, is a matter of con- troversy. Materially damaged. I am not a reliable! authority on such matters. The world has made more material progress than in any other era. I consider that a secondary matter. It is becoming a matter of I deep concern to me. Xhe matter is of the utmost im- portance to "me. It is a matter of controversy too bitter! to be unnecessarily awakened. As a matter of personalf convenience. Like Plato, I love virtue for its own sakeT — 167 — } an cba- rhole A in s de- ■won- jr for imself ier for roved, ftterial is the it. A istance. He re- matter for the t in all matters he exact 2.

It is a matter of public interest. There is no excuse for ij^noranoe in a matter of this kind. The sense is materially altered. He was seen in connection with the matter. That is a matter of a different char- acter which eclipses purely political questions for the moment. Take charge of the matter, and sift it to the bottom. It is a matter of experience and training. Matters are in fair working order. As a matter of fact, up to the present day they have never raised a question of the right of the States to exercise jnri.sdiction over Canadian waters. They are awaking to the importance of the matter. For the purpose of keeping up the pledges of secrecy, every step was taken to keep the matter quiet. Matters will never come to such a pass as that. They are mismanaging matters. He contra- dicted his evidence in some material point-. It would be an easy matter to do so. In all matters of social en- tertainment the lady does the honors. The niatter was left over until the next morning. It is a matter of great uncertainty. The matter will be thoroughly sifted through the courts. It is only a matter of politics. The father is disconsolate about the matter. I have an important matter to discuss with you. I put a cheerful face upon the matter. Many will be surprised to learn that the substance which is the quintescence of sweet- ness is made from so unpromising and so unpalatable a material as coal tar. To effect this, those who have the matter in hands must act promptly. It is a matter of much surprise to me. There can be no two opinions about the matter. The question as to his reception here is another matter. He is an authority on matters of this kind. I was under the benign influence of two of the fair .sex who materially helped me in my stu«lies. Matters of taste have no place in the electiim. They are at sea over the matter. Matters are decidedly mixed. Matters have not come to that pass, but no one will pretend to say that the streets are all that could be desired. They look forward to the conclusion of the matter with the utmost interest. He did not mend mat- ters by having bidden defiance to him. His bt-ing married to an American may have some bearing on his attitude in the matter — in defending the president's I, I 168 — { 4 action. It would be a hard matter to do so. It is no matter how dirty it is, so the money is good. It is a uietter of arranf^ement. Matters were put right. These are fair matters for discussion, if desired. The matter is wholly within the prerogative of the council. The matter fell through. The matter is a little hazy in my mind now, it being '^o long since. Apart from the feeling of soreness rankling in his mind, it will help to make matters easy. He laid the matter before them to direct their re.searches on that point, and that is all, absolutely all. They are following the example of Russia in the matter of arming its cavalry, and will vote with them on all measures of reform compatible with monarchical principles. His statements, on direct examination, were not materially shaken, his description of the man according closely with my own. The matter was taken up with spirit. People are getting practical in the matter of jfiving Christmas presents; the idea is more to send a token of affection than to confer an actual benefit when they get an opportunity to be prac- tical. Troops w^ill be dispatched there in anticipation of trouble, and that will clinch the matter. I don't care to have ich matters gossiped about the neighborhood through the romantic medium of correspondence. Those are matters of moment to the multitude of musicians. It has become a matter of urgent necessity as things have assumed a character of oppressiveness, and are de- generating into a public scandal. Her death v/as a crushing blow to him, and they are conferring on the whole matter. Maximwm. — That is the maximum of the penalty. Mean. — In giving advice he said : Never do a mean thing for money. This implies that a mean thing may be done gratuitously. It was disposed of by some means, as yet, unknown. I have accomplished a good day's work, and that means plenty of rest for to-morrow. It means bloodshed in the long run. His retirement means a great deal in the present state of affairs. With the means left available to me. Thoy smile upon the movement, and that means a great deal. He gets a comfortable i subsistence bv this means. His visit is not designed to have any political ineaning. Whether the balloon wii ever take rank as a means of travelling, who shall say?! There is something infinitely mean in asking men to work for nothing. convei seekin will fu some e 169 Means. — I have unus.i ally good means of information. He has the means of polishing his passions. Those, by dint of the prolonged edr.cation they receive, are unfit for manual labor; and finding other avenues of employ- ment overcrowded, are at a loss for means of subsistence. Employ every known means. Measure. — In a measure, it was successful. It is inop- portune as yet to take such stringent measures. Such measures are not justifiable. The enforcement of strin- gent measures. I was perplexed beyond measure. The credit of this must be in a large measure due to him. You must not measure others by your standard — it would be no use to do so — judge them therefore by their own. I have no faith in restrictive measures. It was affecting in a measure. Drastic measures for the extermination of the whites. The grave condition of affairs is in a measure true of his friend who is gradually losing his self confidence — his chief characteristic — when all sus- picion was centred on him. They are giving counte- nance to a iueasure declaring amnesty for him, and thus securing immunity from punishment. Mediate. — The suggestion, that he be invited to me- diat^^ between the two Houses, on the subject of the franchise bill, was received with pronounced disfavor. Medium. — Allow me through the medium of your valuable paper, to call attention to it. That is the me- dium of communication. I became acquainted with her through the medium of an advertisement. A man of medium stature. Let us take an ordinary word — say, the word "understand" — and see how the classes of symbols look as reporting media. A first class adver- tising medium. Meet. — It is not enough to meet the necessities of the occasion. They cherish the hope that everything pos- sible will be done to meet his views. Only a Scotch Par- liament will meet the case. They should not meet its expenditure in any niggardly spirit. It has everywhere met with objections and protests. It is an enterprise which meets their views to an extent which means financial succes.'. It has been postponed to meet the convenience of in. ^'yers who, to the number of 50, are seeking parliamentary honors. He favors a plan that will fully meet the wants of the country, and will, to some extent, satisfy her national aspirations. That will — 170 r* . > H' ■ meet every requirement. The offer met with no takers. His untiring zeal in meeting the requirements of the public will enable him to outlive those venemous attacks. This met with marked disapprobation. To meet popular demands. The meeting was violently uproarious. To meet expenses. It meets those wants in a great mea- sure. This idea did not meet with encouragement, or general approval. It is meeting with gratifying, un- bounded sue-siiss, I met with the kindest possible re- ception. It is intended to meet those views. Overtures in that direction would meet the fate of all that have preceded them. Its establishment does not meet the requirements of the law. How are you going to meet the difficulty. Borrow to meet current expenditure. Everything possible should be done to meet their wishes. I will meet you on the tield of honor. It has met with universal favor. To meet national exigencies. I meet with unvarying kindness. If, in all cases of sickness, the promptings of nature for complete rest were fully met, 99 per cent would recover. The rules in the main met with cordial approval. Judging from the early demand for tickets, there is promise that she will meet with the recognition that her artistic powers entitle her to. Such punishment does not meet the ends of justice. Memorable. — Memorable scenes. Memorial services were held. It was decided to memorie.lize the govern- ment to enquire into the whole question. He met with financial reverses a month ago, which preyed on his mind, and he hastened out doors to arouse the neigh- bours. He has given up his intention of returning, and his decision meets with strong disfavor. Mention. — I mentioned it incidentally. Brief men- tion is made of his death. Their names are mentioned as probable candidates. The sanitary condition of the city is enough to make any man tremble at the mention of the word " cholera." Mi^re — The arguments are the merest claptrap. The proceedings will be a mere formality. It is the merest justice. She claims that she called merely in a splrll of mischief. Method. — The best method devised. He is a model of methodical habits. Merit. — Every man should be dealt with ^^ \\U fUt-'fi!^'* His merits end here. 171 Mete. — I object to justice being meted out in that fashion. Similar treatment was meted out to me. That was the penalty meted out to him. Militate. — It will militate against his success. From that on, he seemed to have made up his mind to what awaited him. Mind. — I have one man in my mind. The fact must be kept in mind that, &c. Mine. — Intombed in a mine. Minor. — Injustice of a minor character. Minor items. Minute. — He has orders to inquire minutely into the facts. Minute attention to it would not be desirable. Misapprehension. — A good deal of misapprehension has arisen over our difficulties. Minister. — To minister to their spiritual needs. Miscarry. — A miscarriage of justice. The trial mis- carried. Misinform. — You have been misinformed. Mislead. — I have been misled into believing so. Misplace. — Such suggestion is certainly misplaced. Misquote. — You have misquoted me. Misrepresent. — I am satisfied he did not deliberately misrepresent me. Mistake. — His characterization of what I had written was, that I had made grave mistakes. He mistakes the true bent of his genius in cultivating poetry. It ought to have been easy to have mistaken him for a plough- man. Model. — It is a perfect model of a country hotel. I take him as my model. On the same model. Moderate. — It is inconsistent with justice and mode- ration. In a spirit of moderation. A moderate degree of heat. \iode. — His mode of pronouncing is defective. The modes of capital punishment in use in civilized coun- tries are needlessly cruel. This is the only mode of reply avajjjj-ble now, from my {inffffi nf view.

Modify. — In defere/ice iif Hungarian opinion, he is modifying his attiiuue iowaras Russia. It was greatly > _ 172 — 'modified in its pas.sage through Parliament. To modify impressions. His baseness is modified by the considera- tion that, &c. A slight modification of the treatment. The gaieties of Paris are somewhat modified to suit the season of Lent. Such action did not modify public resentment against him. It needs modifying. The agreement, though modified, is still in abeyance. He is modifying his views considerably in reaching such con- clusion. These view^s were modified somewhat later, and as the facts gradually leaked out, it appeared more than probable that it was the same tragic occurrence. Modulate your remarks, Modern. — Such dress is inconsistent with modern ideas of modesty, and such argument doeH not apply here. ModuH operandi. — Their modus operandi is to, &c, Moment. — It is of great moment, of momentous im- portance. I look on tlie present time as pregnant with momentous issu«t)i>. Monopoly. -Th« fishery (|tt««tion is monopolizing • attention. Does a man enjoy a beautiful scene any the more V»ecause he has n. monopoly of it? Monotony. — He brok(5 the monotony by telling a storv. Mood. — He came out in a gay mood. If he is in a pleasant mood. Moot. — When the question of the expea ency of per- mitting them to do so, is mooted. To moot subject. Moral. — A girl of easy morality. It is very easy to moralize on the impossibility of doing it. The moral of all this is, that what is one man's meat is another man's poison. The moral effect of the display, said he, with evident satisfaction, will be a lasting one. Westward the course of Empire takes its way. Our iiolions of morality are at variance. Eschew such knowledge as would only serve to injure your faith or your morals. Mortal. — There is a big decrease in the mortality. Mortify. — I have no recollection of the occurrence, and am extremely mortified at it. Motive. — No motive for the act, so far as is known, existed. Motive. — From prudential motives. Tlv-y r.re pre- sent from motives other than curiosity. From ^nV^rey ted political motive.s.

Suspicion of ulterior motives on his . part. His motive in leaving so suddenly, is simply inexplicable. I was reticent from motives of political expediency. Those are the motives which induced me to do it. This I discourage from mixed motives of humanity and haste. It was not through motives of charity she was induced to a life of shame. I am sus- picious of his motives in giving his death-dealing drugs. Mould. — He is one of the moulders of public opinion. Motto. — " Down with the society," was their motto. Move. — He is the principal mover in the project which came to an inglorious end. The affectation of indignation was only a move to throw them off their guard. There is a movement set on foot by them. The luoveinent is taking shape. It is an important move in every respect. He was the main mover of the trip. Movements characteristic of the season. The movement fell through. They were moved to tears by the touch- ling scene which ensued. They are carrying on the movement on constitutional lines. He feels somewhat annoyed at the publicity given t<» hia movements. The movement has taken largo dimensions, and is being pushed with the greatest rigor. The movrment is making rapid strides. A first rate political move. Kus- sia's latest move in the direction of war. It is entirely a spontaneous movement on their part. It is merely a party move The states are moving for union.

The gambling element has domina- 3cl in the city for years; but, last night, the gamblers loved out without ado : the previous raid ended in a Iree fight. I place little importance on this filibustering lovement which gives its own friends away. They are [oilowing the movement closelv, and are fully alive to untiring efforts to ameliorate their condition, and ^iL'ii'v appreciate them. ]-ldle. — They are speaking their minds on the bhery muddle. — 174 — 1 * Music. — The volley of musketry sounded a )ve the din of music. Muster. — The liberals mustered in great force, think- ing to precipitate a division. Mutual. — The admiration was mutual, and before anv unnecessary lapse of time, I approached her father, and, in due form, requested his daughter's hand. Mystery. — Mysterious disappearances seem to be crop- ping up on every hand. The accounts have been kt^pt so loosely as to mystify the most experienced accountant. There is a good deal of mystery surrounding his move- ments. Insolvable mystery. Name. — In the parlance of the stock exchange it will perpetuate his name. Narrate. — She narrated the incidents in a calm matter of I'act way. National. — His progress thereto (gaol) is made an aflfair of national importance : So much is this the case that, &c. A national afi'ront. National suicide. Nature. — Several cases of the .'aine nature have been reported. The rejTOrts were of a satisfactory nature. The remainder of the business was of a purely routine nature. The information is of a general nature. The play was of a very uninteresting nature, and the number of speculators limited. We look in vain for any infor- mation of a statistical nature. Whatever is done, is of a voluntary nature. By-laws of this nature are objec- tionable. It is not of a nature to convince me. Narrow. — The business of this evening is not of much magnitude. Your protests wek'e entered too late to be I acted upon : Accordingly, it narrows down to a dis- cussion of the validity of the Lacros.se matches. Nauseous. — It contained .something nauseous did tliisl decoction, and would not develop its nauseating effects except under the influence of slight warmth. Near. — He is nearing liis destination. The troops are I nearing the city. It is ne8,ring a close. The situation is nearitig a crisis. It is nearing an end (drawing to a close). The elopement case .seems to near its amicablej .solution. The English muddle is nearing a crisi.s. Neat. — He looked as neat and as clean as though hej had just come out of p bandbox, and nodded to liisj friends here and there.

The accident necessitated his removal to the hospital. This was rendered necessary by his action. It will necessitate a change. The doctors insist upon the necessity of outdoor exercise. If it becomes a ne- cessity. Such principles are not necessary to its action. There is no necessity that she should do so. He is fully alive to the necessities of the age. There is no necessity for such an alternative. Something should be done to relieve their urgent necessities. It is necessary to our protection and prosperity. It is common talk that he was under the necessity of kicking him out without any ceremony. The amount necessary to meet the price agreed upon. A convict, and a lame one at that, made his escape. Neglect. — Negligence real or fancied. Intellectual culture is almost wholly neglected here ; and he has chosen a form in which to bestow his gift which will fill a want that has long existed. Negation. — A direct negative to charges. Rftaliation is promised is some shape. Nefarious. — its objectionable condition is irreme- diable, and he is guilty of culpable neglect. Need. — It is needless to enter upon an argument to prove it. The sensitiveness of his conscience on the subject is .so well known that elaborate details are hardly needed. It is entirely inadequate to their needs. It needs a continuous residence to become acquainted with' the drawbacks as well as the advantages existing there. I need only observe that if you will accompany me on Tuesday, or any subsequent Tuesday convenient to yourself, I will engage that you will .see the speed you believe impossible of attainment, reached and ex- ceeded, and I will cheerfully submit to any reasonable test you may desire to apply to me. Negotiate. — To negotiate a treaty. Certain negotia- tions are going on to that effect. He ridiculed the ne- gotiation as utterly impracticable. Nerve. — I was unnerved at the sight. Nestle, — A little village nestling among the hills. Neutralize. — It is a well known fact that the elements, which nourish the disease, can be neutralized. New. — The idea of artificial rain is not new, it is as old as the hills. A newsy paper. He jw parted the news to me. _ 176 — ,'^ . )l ::■ Next. — By Saturday next, be the weather, in the interim, wet or fine, he will have the whole completed. Note. — If there is anything for which he is noted, in connection with his acts, it is his everlasting pertinacity in forcing on their notice the rights of his fellow country- men. An hour afterwards it was learned that a noted tough had been shot. He is noted for his hasty temper. There were some Quebec notabilities present, as well as some from the surrounding parishes. His administra- tion of city aifairs has been surrounded with note- worthy events. It is interesting to note that he re- cently ottered to do it. I noted a marked change in his social condition. Our literature outranks, in some notable respects, the literature of that period. Having noted his prospects of success in detail, I mu>?t now deal with them in the aggregate. It is curious to note how a sleepless patient will set to work to compass his death. He is noted for his pious proclivities. It is significant to note thai they omit any reference to him. Now mark the skill and note the wilinei-s of the pretence. Permit me to note an incident that occurred yesterday. Every indication of the way in which it w«,s done was carefully noted. A notable event. The proceedings wore notable because a new departure was announced ; and obey urged the necessity of holding meetings at regular intervals to consider matters of commor concern that are ripe for discussion, all being the outcome of my recent suggestion. Notice. — I can notice a growing feeling of anxiety. Great improvement is noticeable in this respect. Their neatness was noticeable. They were noticeably weak on the defence. A noticeable fall in the temperature is regarded as the best safeguard against the disease. The increase is very noticeable. I did not notice the slighest unusual ott*ect. It has not come under my personal notice. I noticed a serious lack of attention. The absence of the Hebrew element was noticeable. This was particularly noticeable as he passed me by. In (bringing) introducing this to your notice, I beg leave to make a few remarks. He had the same downcast look which was noticeable while under arrest. It is noteworthy they point towards a Zollverein as their result. He is of noticeable appearance, beintj six feet in height and of proportionate build. I could not fail to ^ 177 notice how smart he walked; but when it came to the point he refused. I att'ected great interest in it, and I noticed he no longer distrusted me. Notify. — To notify of action. He has been notified of the fact, but so far nothing has come of it. They liave made a formal declaration of war, and notified the powers to that effect. Notion. — They are imbued with some curious notions of our powers, and point out that the tendency in modern times is for the nations to unite. Novel. — The course might be novel, but the circum- stances are novel. The water trip will be an agreeable novelty to this victim of exuberant loyalty. Notorious. — It is a notorious fact that he is one of the rioters. Nuisance. — An unbearable nuisance. Numerous. — The government is numerically weak. The rumours, as to the probable cause of the fatality, are numerous. Women predominate numerically over men. Nullify. — The rules established, have been nullified on account of his detention in prison. Nutshell. — Here we have the case in a nutshell. Obey. — In obedience to your instructions. Object. — There is only one objection to the proposition, that I can see. I sympathize with the object of the meeting. The agitation has had disunion for its object from the first. Objectionable practices. She made known to them in a few well chosen words the object of the meeting. The object of the society is purely charitable. Presumably, his object is to suggest a possibly unworthy motive for agitation. Fine writing not so much an object as habits of accuracy. The main object of the address was to congratulate him on the manly stand he has taken. The object may be too sentimental for some intensely practical people to appreciate; but I feel assur- ed that the gratification afforded to the poor must be altogether out of proportion to the cost. It is a praise- worthy object. I could have no imaginable object in- doing so. That is an object of dislike to me. It is otherwise objectionable. He strongly objected to go through the unpleasant process of fumigation. Time is no object to me. Objectionable words. I decidedly object to it. With that object in view, I visited the asylum (to inquire into its operations). They have voted 12 ,t: ■ I '4 :l 1- — 178 $50.00 for that object. Its main object is to give an opportunity for the free discussion of our different views. What his objection is, is not my object here to discuss. An object of public detestation. His objection is a factor. We object in toto to the intrusion into a political contest of any such matters. Upon personal grounds, probably no one objects to him. That was its avowed object. The objectionable course he has taken to maintain di.s- cipline. There is absolutely nothing objectionable in it. With no conceivable object in view. It cannot serve your object. The object which brings him to Montreal. The only objection to it is the necessity of so frequently raising the hand. The special object of the paper will be to work up radical feeling on the Home Rule question. They are the special object of his vengeance. Add to this the strong objection that, &c. They make them- selves as objectionable as possible. He is an object of charity. I object to him on the ground that he is a violent extremist. There is one objection absolutely conclusive against it. The object of le institution is two fold : firstly, to lessen vice as far as possible ; and, secondly, to levssen mortality of bastard children who are exposed to the endless ills, and may be, premature death. Far be it from me to object to criticism, fair and honorable. Her presence here is with the object of wee- ing her husband. Its object is now very apparent. I objected on account of undue haste. It affected the object ot my mission so much that I considered it end- ed. The object of his trip is to glean facts to that effect, as well as to face the consequences of his conduct. The objects are to define and punish incest for the more effec- tual suppression of polygamy. My primary object is to obtain a thorough command of both languages. The interview could admit of no object, beyond that of strengthening peace. The ground of his objection was that he had grossly insulted him, and urged that there would be manifest impropriety in sitting at the trial; but they refused to admit the validity of his objection, as he would perform his du^ without bias. It is a legitimate abject. Obligatory. — It would be a graceful courtesy, but by no means obligatory on your part. Oblige. — The obligations imposed by Lent.

Obnoxious. — Thf> accumulation of filth is very obnoxi- ous. He is obnoxious to the family. Obnoxious to censure. The newspapers are particularly obnoxious to him. It is quite likely that an attempt to enforce regulations obnoxious to the people, may cause distur- bance, and be the occasion of riots. A man of secon- dary rank in the league who has made himself obnoxi- ous by the active part he has taken in the matter. Obscure. — He is sinking back into the obscurity f i jm which he has emerged, but is still the idol of Paris. Obse7've. — From what came under my observation, I am decidedly of that opinion. France has determined to observe an expectant attitude. It should be observed that, &c. I observe what I deem signs of revival. Observe the strictest .scrutiny. Order and simplicity should be observed in every department. Sabbath ob- servance. Observe the differences which exist in the national character of the two nations. It is cheering to observe that they are awakening to a livelier percep- tion of their duty in the premises. I believe in the rigid observance of the law. It is not gratifying to observe that it is despicable from the low standpoint of .self-intere.st. It is to be observed that the most active opponent of the measure is a man of the people. It is with pleasure I observe the accumulating testi- mony in favor of your system from people whose large experience enables them to speak with an authority and impartiality which cannot be called in question. He was the centre of observation. He is guilty of as gross a piece of duplicity as it has ever fallen to our lot to observe. Having observed the occurrence, he states he contemplates taking proceedings in the case. The greatest secrecy is observed on the question, but the criticisms of the press have angered him. Obstacle. — Prejudice will throw insurmountable ob- stacles in your way. There were no obstacles in the way of obtaining it. There has been but one serious ob.stacle in our path ; that is, the antagonism of drun- kards who do not approve our methods. It is reported that fears of cholera constitute the main obstacle to his propo-ed visit. W I ■!

It is the only obstruc- tion that meets the vision. Obtain. — Our claims did not obtain recognition. They obtained a recognition of their rights. That policy obtains every where in England. Every pre- caution is taken to prevent the people obtaining in- formation bearing on Bulgaria, but the news is gradually leaking out. Learn the source whence the money is obtained. I have not obtained his version of the affair. Obtain the cooperation of men of experience in Railway enterprises. Still further contributions have been obtained. Such practice or custom obtains among them. I am desirous of obtaining the facts. I have obtained no further details of it. He spoke eulogis- ticatiy of the results obtained. Endeavour to obtain his offices as mediator. To obtain special advantages which, it is contended, Canada could easily procure. Obtain his opinion with a view \,o the adoption of some practical measures. The affair obtained wide circula- tion. Obtain information as to the method adopted. Obtain his assent to the terms of the agreement. To obtain news. To obtain liberal terms. The firm hold it has obtained upon the public, is due to its simplicity which places it within the easy reach of the mas.ses. The main object is to obtain a settlement of the ques tion. The average result obtained. I will accept the concession if it does not emanate from him, though I have obtained from him admissions of a very compro- mising nature. He has obtained expressions of opinion on the question of legislating for their suppression. Christian influence has obtained a strong hold there. I have obtained his views on the proposed exhibition. That is the scientific view which obtains here, and it were time the guests were bidden to the feast. That is the fashion that obtains just now, said he, after yielding to pressure. It was a preconcerted scheme to obtain his millions. The rumour has obtained currency that is is looked upon with disfavor. No definite clue has been obtained. Obvious. — That would not obviate the danger. He seems to overlook the obvious fact that, &c. It is ob- vious that the impressions of such a personage are of unique consequence. To obviate trouble and incon- venience. To obviate misunderstanding. It will obvi- — 181 — f^^- among T have ulogis- ol>tain Bintfeges )rocure. of some circula- idopteci. mt.

For obvious reasons, they decline to afford any information as to the result. To obviate (prevent) delay. Occdsion.—As the occasion may require. The hall was the scene of a very enjoyable reunion, the occasion being a ball by the grocers. There is no occasion in this connection to make a great show of spunk. His disclosures occasioned a sensation. The excitement oc- casioned by the riots has been revived. Occasionally there was some sensation. It would occasion personal discomfort, to what extent it is impossible to say. There was a large attendance on the occasion of his farewell supper. The theatre was filled on the occasion of the €rst performance. As usual on such occasions the fair sex greatly outnumbered the sterner portion of the community, and every available point along the line of the procession was occupied. There is occasion for regret that, &c. I had occasion to get my handkerchief. To occasion dissatisfaction. A complimentary banquet was given him on the occasion of his approaching marri- age. His removal, we are glad to learn, is to be made the occasion of a public recognition of his services. An album, commemorative of the occasion. I wrote him an open letter on the occasion of the extensive devastation by forest tires. His visit will be the occasion of many festivities. They describe his entry as an occasion of the grandest enthusiasm, thousands sallying forth to meet him. Occupy. — They remain in occupancy of the hotel. Canada occupies a distinguished place. The journey [occupied an hour. He occupies the foremost position in coTumercial circles. The French will occupy whatever poiat they judge necessary. It is occupying the atten- tion of the court. The riots occupy a leading place in the debates. He occupies quite an irresponsible position. The women are gradually encroaching upon our occu- [pacions. He occupies his leisure time in writing volu- minously on matters connected with religion, and has done much by lectures, and otherwise, to illuminate the Lmerican mind as to the position of our country. It is H^he only subject that occupies their attention, and a |arge attendance is expected on the grounds. They >ssessed hip warmest sympathies. I — 182 — Occur. — The occurrence does not justify the sensa- tional treatment accorded to it. Altercations and street €ght8 occur with no serious consequences. No new de- velopments have occurred in the question. He is dis- tracted over the occurrence. The loss of his seat was a foregone conclusion directly this exposure occurred. It ought to have occurred to such two blank idiots that it would answer every practical purpose to, &c. Incidents sometimes occur pointing to a different conclusion. I feel assured that such a provision would meet all such difficulties My loss occurred under peculiar and painful circumstances. He was absent at the time of the occur- rence, and was shocked on returning to hear cf ^ r fate. Nothing else of importance occurred. How many pre- ventible deaths occur for want of proper inspection of food. The alleged sad event occurred within his pre- cinct. No disturbance occurred. An incident occurred which intensified the bitterness between them. A nar- row escape from drowning occurred. A hitch occurred in the drawing up of the contract. A. series of conflicts have occurred. The frequency of its occurrence. It occurs to me that ho is not in any immediate pressing want. Several circumstances have occurred to make us fear for its usual success. Being killed by some gas poison is an every day occurrence. It has occurred to me that it might be utilized for other purposes. The same doubt is liable to occur in other cases. A trifling encounter occurred. It is inevitable that such things should occur. This is not an unfrequent occurrence. His death is liable to occur at any moment. It has never occurred to him to modify his policy. A little ripple of excitement occurred. It occurs to me that it uiight occasion them some difficulty. This has never been known to occur before. Innumerable such in- stances occur every day. Some delay occurred. The affair occurred yesterday. A highly sensational shoot- ing affray occurred this morning, around which thej shroud 01 mystery is so far impenetrable. Two calami- ties occurred. This phrase occurs in his letter: "I shall | treat your information as entirely secret." Unless un- foreseen events should occur to change the natural I course of things. A probably fatal occurrence. The extent to which it exists may be surmised by an incideDtl which has occurred within my experience. The funeral! — 183 tenaa- street jw de- is dis- was a ed. It that it cidents ion.

Odd occurrences in life. Speculation has been nfe since the vacancy occurred, and all eyes a/e anxiously directed to Rome. A curious mistake occurred which is without precedent in the anuals of jurisprudence, and which illustrates how ab- surd. law technicalities may be at times. The thought occurred to me that I should do it. OdiotLs. — An odious calumny. Offer. — It offers other advantages which cannot be secured elsewhere. Unable to offer any satisfactory ex- planation, I dissembled my real feelings. The streets offer the best opportunities for the display of profes- sional activity. When occasion offers. To offer attrac- tions. It offers benefits to future generations. The resistance is and must be passive ; but it is none the less dangerous — dangerous to self interest, to say the least. Do full justice to the opportunities for cinoy- ment offered you. When opportunity offers. They propose offering him a banquet. I am unable to avail myself of the advantages offered. ^ Off. — It is only a century off us. Offset — His criticisms were offset by the secretary, who took the view that his chief was not responsible. Offijcial. — He is here in connection with alterations to be made in the offices. The official announcement that it was apoplexy, and not suicide, modified the alarm. Ominoua. — The gene**al appearance of things was mi unequivocal omen of success. It is < good omen for victo' y. Omit. — I omitted to mention that. OnerotLS task. Onus. The onus of the proof rests upon him. It throws on you the onus of proving the bona fides of his intentions. Open. — He opened the debate. While not open to the reproach of being an unpreaching prelate, he was , less distinguished as a preacher than as a scholar. Why they did it so carelessly, is open to conjecture. It opens a new chapter in his history. It is an open secret thai they are at loggerheads. No one is lest open than he to the suspicion of un irorUiy motives. His impartiality is, to say the least, open to questioo^ I have no course open but to publish it Let the country be opened up — 184 — to commerce. He played an important part in opening up the country to civilization. Open lips, flaming cheeks, flashing eyes, dishevel of hair, and the depicting of the town. An open (public) letter. It open up un- limited opportunities to you, and as a proof of this, I can point to hundreds of marriages so contracted. It has given rise to a fe«ling of bitterness whi'*h has found open expression in a public letter. He failed to turn up till an hour, or thereabouts, aftor the time set for the opening of the inquiry when he excuBed himself on the plea of illness. Operate. — It will operate vigorously against you. The work of isolation has not yet gone into operation. None of these causes have operated here. It operates as a deadly blight upon his personal character. The thing is in full operation. Opinion. — That is my unprejudiced opinion. Con- flicting opinions. I earnestly call upon the best friends of the country, as far as possible, while holding their own opinions, to be tolerant of those of others. Opportunct —I have no opportunities for observation. An opportunity has offered. Never was there a more opportune time for it. He is making the best of poor opportunities. The first requisite to business success is the opportunity. Feeling that the opportunity was one of unusual promise, and that the hardest of the hard times would ultimately do the paper good, the idea of abandoning the enterprise was not for a moment entertained. Oppose. — Do not waste your energies by opposing it. I feel it my duty to oppose it vigorously. I would oppose any concessions to China. I am decidedly opposed to it. He opposed the popular will. It is the very oppose of it. It is an unfortunate thing that they should nnd themselves in opposition. He proved the opposite of useful. I did it in the face of violent opposi- tion. It is opposed to the spirit of the British constitu- tion. He consoles himself with the reflection that it has numerous handles for opposition. I should strenu- onsHy oppose any attempt to single myself out for punishment. I oppose the idea as useless; With this condition right it needs no overwhelming brilliancy to make it a success. They met with determined opposition. The spirit of the age is opposed to corporal punishment. .» ■■*i.*fl.»j- — 185 The opposite is the case. I was not cognizant of his being so opposed to it. Option. — After giving her her option between the two, he made for the door. He made option of a summary trial, and maintained his stoical indifference to the last. I never had option in these matters. Ordeal. — He will emerge from the ordeal unscathed. Order. — He was ordered to get out and he got. They were confronted by the military, and peremptorily ordered to desist. He did not need the order. They will follow in their order of seniority. It would be quite in order for you to explain yourself. The matter was laid before hin?. and prompt action ordered. Con- travene no orders. Ordinary. — The scene threatened to culminate in fisticuffs, but the information thus far received shows that they left by the ordinary channels of passage. I went to the place as ordinarily. It is currently stated that he sported a hand valise of ordinary size. This consideration is of more than ordinary importance, it is of the greatest imperial iniportance. Under ordinary circumstances, they form a pretty good indication of the state of trade which has suffered to a considerable ex- tent. He failed to ascertain what was the ordinary crofter's idea of a comfortable holding. Ordinarily, the books are issued in paper covers. Under ordinary con- ditions, it is a pleasurable affair, but that is quite another matter. Organize. — They have organized a national party of which he is one of its strongest pillars. He is the or- ganizer of the fete. An attack was organized, and all [available boats secured. To organize a vigorous cam- paign. Organizers of a demonstration. A warm recep- tion was organized for him. His attempt to organize a disturbance as a prota^t against his treatment. The public recognition of the right to organize, implies con- fidence in the intelligence and honesty of the masses. In spite of the fact that he is organizing a colored con- gregation, his identity was discovered. To organize [help. Origin. — The rumour which appeart^ to have origi- Inated in Boston, is prevalent in some quarters to the leffect that lie has been murdered. The trouble origi- Inated in & discussion over his fate. Who originated those _ 186 — unbusiness like considerations 7 The story originated as follows : The origin of the fire has not been discover- ed. The circumstance is only memorable as originating a friendship between them. In some of the conversa- tions which our intimacy originated, I sought for in- formation. Another report of an equally vague origin. That is the real origin of the di£Sculty. It nas origi- nated from that cause. A game of 'iards is said to have originated the trouble. The grip has been the origin of a curious movement. Oatenaibie. — It is widely known as a Honor store, al- though ostensibly devoted to the sale of tobacco. He is ostensibly a commercial traveller. An ostensible reason. The ostensible cause of the calling together of his sup- Sorters was to prepare for the election which these folks elieve is imminent, but the real reason for the gathe- ring was to make an effort to put some one in the place of Carnot. The ostensible grounds for his arrest are found in a speech in which h<* said there should be no hesitancy as to a choice. Oust — They want the landlord ousted altogether. A determined effort to oust the government is reported to be haiiching. Out. — By way of a holiday outing. I took a day's outing. In the lawyer's outer off Cd I found no less a personage than his brother. Outburst. — His outburst is buncombe of the purest kind. Outbreak. — An outbreak of hostilities would be a great misfortune. Outcome. — Their action is the outcome of the follow- ing circumstances : There is great interest centred in the outcome of the struggle. Such talk is the outcome of mean revenge. The outcome is that, &c. It is the fair outcome of his superiority to some of his I competitors. As a necessary outcome of such studies. The crime was the outcome of a domestic quarrel. The outcome of an intrigue. The outcome of the case is watched with interest They expect a tragic outcome of the affair, and the rumours do not excite surprise.! Whatever be ihe outcome of it, uhe occurrence will im- measurably prejudice the cause of the country. Ovitdo. — Ijney tried to outdo one another in cxpres-| siona of contempt. — 187 — e reason, his 8up- tese folks e gathe- the place arrest are lid be no Ibe follow- centred in le outcome &c. It >me of his ch studies, wrel. The I ihc case is He outcome I surprise. >e will im-| in cxprei- Outgrow. — The world has outgrown such horrors. The popular sentiment on the subject is an erroneous one, which the world will yet outgrow. •> j Outline. — The Policy outlined in his address. Outlay. — The whole outlay will be in the neighbour- hood of $40. Outlook. — The outlook for the coming year is full of hope. The outlook is uncertain. The outlook on the whole is a serious one for Europe. Outlive. — We have fortunately outlived the days of highway robbers. I have outlived all that. He is not expected to outlive the day. He outlives his estate. He will not outlive his sentence. Outrage. — The price is outrageous. He abused her in the most outrageous manner ; hence the present action. He has outraged public opinion, and there is a cold brutality about the whole business. Outrun. — Ignoramuses often outrun the most skilful in this art. Outnumber. — The men outnumber the women. Outside. — The city is painted as black as black can be in the eyes of the outside world. Outstanding debts. Over. — There is much excitement over the discovery. Overcome. — The embarrassing difficulties and obstadea have been overcome. To overcome gigantic difficulties^ and outlive strong prejudices. Overestimate. — The importance of it cannot be over- estimated. Overshadow. — Festive gatherings overshadowed by gloom and sorrow. Overstep. — We must not overstep the law. Overture. — The Germans have made overtures with a view of coming to an understanding with France. He impressed upon them the fact that, should they refuse all overtures of reciprocity, he would do so. Overturn. — To overturn English authority by invol- ving the country in all the horrors and losses incident to the general condition of wurfare. Overwhdm. — I was completely overwhelmed with, letters. Owe. — That the existence of distress is owing to the severity of the Winter is undisputed. It is owing large- ly to the prolonged Wintry weather. It owes much to iH \M '■,> PHi — 188 — his influence. Sympathy is expressed for him, owinfi; to his extreme usefulness. The reports are unreliable ow- ing to the fact that, ^. Owing \.o the backwardness of the season and popular prejudice. Pacific. — The despatches are pacific in tone. Pack. — The house was packed to the utmost. Pain. — It is painfully long. I am painfully conscious of it. She is painfully ugly. Palliate. — But, methinks, nothing of man's folly has less show of reason to palliate. Paint — It is not so bad as painted. He is painted a good deal blacker than he is. Palpable. — It is palpably absurd. The existence of that influence is palpable in many directions. Its value is becoming daily more and more palpable. Such a pro- ceeding is a pr^pable and flagrant outrage, not alone on ds, but the whole Christian world. Pander. — It panders to their depraved appetites. Par. — He speaks of their ability to read as on a par with their best hands. Parade. — It has been paraded as a scandal, but not so largely as to call for publicity outside. Parallel. — He has no parallel in history for patrio- tism. His unblushing eflrontery is unparalleled. Paralyse. — Their eflbrts have been paralysed. Trade is generally paralysed. Paralysed by the report. Paramount. — It is a subject of paramount interest. It is a subject that has for me an interest paramount to that of any other. Part. — It was a shrewd piece of business on his part. He takes an active part in politics. The circus was fully three parts filled. Partake. — He partook too freely of the cup which ine- briates after assuming the duties of his office. Participate. — They participated in a rebellion against constituted authority. To participate in enjoyment — in excursions. Every man participating in the struggle takes some risk, and takes it knowingly. I participated in the many and varied attractions offered. .Partici- pants in his guilt or in his prosperity should treat all rivals out of the field. Partial. — Grain promises a good return, though oats are partially affected by rust : corn presents a most favo- rable appearance, but fruit will fall far below ordinary yield. 189 — Lugh oats lost f avo- ordinary Particular. — He inquired particularly for you. The particulars of the case have not been reported. The story is correct in every particular, as events will show in due course. The particulars, as given here, are virtu- ally correct. No new particulars in connection with it have been gleaned. More detailed particulars. It resembles it in many particulars. No correspondence of any particular importance. Latest particulars state that, &c. The particulars of the shooting. Obtain fur- ther particulars of the sad affair. I need not go into particulars. I do not know the full particulars of the transaction. He is particularly suited for that. The few particulars ^^ot to hand show that he was well when leaving. Party. — You should not be a party to the insinuation. I would not become a party to such a declaration. I would be sorry to be a party to any action that would destroy the harmony existing between the citi- zens. He is no party to the scheme, but certain of his friends are interesting themselves in the matter, with what success, can only be conjectured. The equal rights party campaign is developing considerable interest. Those dissensions in the Republican ranks bode ill for the success of the party. Passion. — The prowess of the moor, his passion for i adventure, dexterity in the use of weapons, all dramati- jcally delineated and far more vividly represented than possible in books. Pass. — An enjoyable evening w»i8 passed. A subdued I whisper passed through the ranks of the spectators. The affair passed ofi' most successfully. They went there with the intention of passing a convivial time. It has passed beyond anything I have ever hitherto dreamed of. The danger of a fatal result is past ; it will not end I fatally. The narrowness of such ideas will not pass Icorrent in this enlightened age. He passed me with an [arrogant defiant air. The time passed pleasantly. He [passed over a multitude cl' acts which do not bear upon |th,e special point under consideration. They passed a [variety of measures. Party. — They were not parties to the abduction. The Tories are making p^rty capital from their present atti- Me. He has risen superior to the party. The speech ras made under pressure of a severe party attack. — 190 — has IS so neces- PoBBion. — An inordinate passion for smoking. Patch. — There is an indication all round that he patched up matters. Patent. — It is patent to every one. The fact patent that no very high order of intelligence sary to appreciate it. Patriot. — I say it from a spirit of patriotism. Patronage. — It is an exercise which promises to be largely patronized. It is patronized by men of all na- tionalities. Pay. — He paid me a warm compliment. Meanwhile I have to pay the pipor. To pav an unmerited com- pliment. Some just tribute should be paid to his unques- tionable patriotism. You should pay some regard to the feelings of others. Peovliar. — A peculiar feature of the crime record is the number of robbers. His language is peculiarly his It is an idea peculiar to his profession. She is own. me. peculiarly attractive. Crime of a peculiarly loathsomel character. He has some peculiarities. It was quite! apparent that whether from force of habit, or otherwise,! he could not divest himself of the attitude peculiar tol his functions in former days. He was shot under pecu-T liar circumstances. He died under peculiarly painful] circumstances. He has a peculiar cast of mind. A man of many peculiarities. His peculiar behaviour is havini its effect on him. It is a sentence of a peculiarly atro] cious character. Pend. — They are silent pending an investigation oi the subject. They adjourned pending the formation oj the cabinet. The government is perj^ctly passive pen| ding the result of the test case. It will have a salutar effect pending negotiations. Perceive. — I perceived at once the futility of resistanc J that. My speed is perceptibly increased. Many left on peiiHe sti -ceiving what a poor affair the exhibition was. I studies Peremptory. — A peremptory order has been sent tl (»ersisfe him to return instanter. ' iJowed Perfect. — The water is perfectly pure, said he, ani these r suiting the action to the word, he turned on the Um in pron Mature deliberation will ripen and perfect his facultifthat, & They are a perfect nuisance around the street. I aflwithsta perfectly impervious to ridicule. They are to meet bfl^fts per tween now and Sunday to perfect the details with whi(!|Jight of they are charged. — 191 — 8 record is luliarly his I >n. She is loathsomel was quitel r otherwise! peculiar tol under pecu-l ,rly painfuU nd. A man ur is having iliarly atroj Perfomu — Hia performances are less known than his promise. . It appears after the ceremony was performed snd the minister had left, they, &c. I have a duty to perform, and all other considerations have to be put aside. The operation was performed without difficulty. Peril. — A perilous adventure. You will break the law at your peril. Period. — This falling off in emigration for the corres- oonding period of 1891 is due, it is represented, to the fact that wages have increased at home. Childhood is (he most impressible period. A period of commercial depression. He makes periodical business trips. They fixed their personalities for permanent comfort. Permit. — Perhaps I may be permitted to aflk the reason of the change. If a choice may be permitted, it is the gem of my contributions. If my health permits. Two words of explanation might surely be permitted me. Do not permit passion and prejudice to overcome your judgment. He was as good as circumstances per- mitted. If circumstances and managers would permit them to begin at the beginning. I did not permit mat- ters to reach a crisis. If time permits. Don't permit yourself to be frightened or deterred from your pur- pose. Perpetrate. — The perpetrators of a horrible att of cruelty. An audacious robbery accompanied with vio- lence was perpetrated on the street. Perpettual. — Instead of being under perpetual re- straint, life is free and unhampered. Persist. — He persistently refused to go. On the ?oung man persisting in keeping them, she gave in, ersistent rumours are in circulation to that effect. He persistently maintained that the difficulty arose from that. On her persisting that they were hers, he gave in. He still persists in that statement. He persistently studies the best method. He persists in his denial. He )iersists in saying he is not guilty. He persistently fol- I lowed me. In view of the persistency with which these rumours circulate, and the credence given to them in prominent circles. You still persist in the belief that, &c. He persists in believing him innocent, not- withstanding the overwhelming proofs of his guilt. He Ihas persistently refused to meet us face to face in the llight of day, preferring to btab us in the dark. It would — 192 ^ impede navigation, persisted the captain. Tireless vigilance and sleepless persistence should characterize the police. The secret of success is persistent effort, and we court the closest investigation. I have a persistent cold, but I look upon it as a matter of little importance, involving at the most only a temporary inconvenience. He persisted in his declaration that things have gone ur »rtunately awry. I attach no importance to the in- cident, or his persistent efforts to ascertain my name and business. The persistent attendance of the lady specta- tors is one of the fefttures of the trial. Personal. — ile has given no personal attention to it. The interests of the citizens should be before any per- sonal considerations. It was done under his personal supervision. A battle of personalities. He is the per- sonification of war and dictatorship. If they sin, it is from too much zeal, but they take a keen personal pleasure in whacking a churchman. They feel sore over their defeat, and will not visit the place for reasons cr personal safety. When searched he was found to have some money on his person, consisting of gold and bills, which was taken from him for safe keeping, and when it was discovered that he had regained his normal con- dition it was handed back to him. Pertain. — Matters pertaining to my business. Pertinent. — The question is not pertinent lo the inquiry. Pei^ade. —The spirit of fairness that pervades the article is refreshing. The political atmosphere is per- vaded by ugly rumours, but they are baseless. An p'n of peace pervaded the gathering in marked contrai.. . the excitement of the first night. I was oppressed by the sense of loneliness that pervaded everything. There is an an ti- German tone pervading Russian politics. Pei^y frauds. _ _ Pervert. — They have so perverted the doctrines of theB"'*^'^^^'^*< church that, &c. He has maliciously perverted thel®*P'*n« truth. It is perverted to base and unworthy purposes. Phase. — He has put his foot down bsolutely on every phase of the agitation. It is closely interwoven with every phase of our existence. That is the latest phase of the case and of the labor agitation. The latest phase in the matter is, they are gbin^ to take action against him. Indomitable energy of the people inj on him, "'^ill gi\ plaihsib Play.

It is the latest phase in the work- ing up of the robbery. His illness has assumed a dan- gerous phase. That is the latest phase of the stubborn tight made by him. *. Phenomenon. — Such a phenomenon as a straight forward answer has not been heard. Pick. — I picked my way very gingerly. Business is picking up after a long spell of depression, aggravated by uhe deficient harvest. Pickle. — I have a rod in pickles for you. Pink. — He is the pink of perfection. Pity. — It is a thou.'^aiid pities. Place. — In England it is the place of a lady to bow first — if .she meets a gentleman of her acquaintances abroad she must not take the initiative. It will place it on a permanent basis. He places himself in continual antagonism to my wishes. He should be placed under special surveillance. You are placed in peculiar circum- stances. I am placed in a peculiar position by this hostile action. He should be ^,aught the wholesome lesson that the fact of his being a peer does not place him beyond the law of the land. Bigotry should be placed under the ban of the civilized world. Place them in order of importance. Eis circumstances place him above the temptation of money. Hence, indeed, we might pause here, and confidently await the verdict of the public ; but, to place on record an exposure of a sordid and unscrupulous attempt to stay the march of progress, and rob the nations of the invaluable boon which the thought and genius of our day has provided, we proceed, &c. Plan. — We are always planning how to get our bread and butter. Plausible, — They were lavish in their plaudits of [Gladstone. A very plausible story. The plausible explanation of this is, that it is Chambord's vengeance on him. He is goading her into some overtaction which prill give him some plausible pretext for a divorce. A [plausible excuse. Play. — There was some spirited play in the game. iHe is playing a prominent part in this famous case. IThey are playing an important part disproportionate to Itheir numbers. Russia is playing her old game, her conduct being at present more than ordinarily ex ^ra- kgant. 13 %"-^' — 194 — Plea. — She pleaded justification on the ground of good intientions. I plead guilty to the implied charge of being an Irishman. He pleaded poverty as an excu&e for his sinful mode of life. Please. — It is pleasing to see that the authorities have taken incipient steps in other directions. I have some pleasant reminiscences of it. It is a never ending source of pleasure and an undreamed of success. Pledge. — He is pledged to no policy. He has pledged his whole future to it. Do not pledge yourself to any particular course until the facts are known. Plenty. — The rains have been plenteous. Plight. — He is in a bad plight. The financial con- dition is by no means in the plight that it is sometimes pictured. Pluck. — He faced the inquiry with considerable pluck, and answered questions calmly. Point. — I look at his position from another point of view. That is another case in point. On this point I beg to differ with you. He was happy in his remarks, and made his points in the most efiective style. He has not one redeeming point. He pointed to the fact that, &c. If to point a moral be the mission of a genuine play, then, beyond question, this drama most amply meets the requirement. This fact gives point to the objection taken to the proposal. I was cornered by such a poin- ted question. There are some points in his speech that I do not like. We point with pride to the fact that, &c. Until he disposes of this point, he must pose as a liar. The second point is that the law has not been complied with. He pointed out to those who were not 'Aware of the fact that it precluded them from working in Winter. We believe this point will be eventually waived. Every point of vantage around the station had to be fought for. Everything points to a short lived parliament barren of all fruitful results. The question involves a point of law on which lawyers do not agree. He aimed point blank at his head. The important point is whether the surprise is real or feigned, or whether he is acting with her tacit consent : In Paris the latter is believed to be the case : if the last view be true, the affair is one of extreme gravity for England. At this point the noise became so great that he was unable to proceed any further. That is a point of some importance. It is — 195 — I of cube )oint of point I emarks, He bas Lct that, I genuine ly meets )b3ection a ro^'^' sech that that, &c. B a liar. comphed iware of Winter. . Every jught for. fearren of point of led point lether the ting with fed to be lis one of the noise )ceed any ,ce. It is hardly necessary to point out that, &c. From a public point of view, it will be of advantage to us. The inte- resting point of political speculation is whether, &;c. From a pecuniary point of view she is left in a comfor- table position. He pointed out some obvious defects in the existing systems. They point to the fact that the leaders have outlived the movement. He pointed out that the practice of doing so has been gradually widen- ing into an abuse. A discu.ssion on a point of conside- rable interest. It points to the necessity of a change. There is not much to grumble about on that point. Indi- cations point to his nomination. The first striking point of difference is the absence of anything like overcrow- ding. From a party point of view. Those are the only points of difference worth mentioning. The great point of importance is, &c. The finger of public reprobation points out their offences. Various points of interest. On this point I am entirely at one with you. To reach a point. Further elucidation of this point is unnecessary. The match from a scientific point of view was not as perfect as it might be. Take the case of gambling as the c»ise in point. In dealing with this subject, tw? main points are necessary : brevity and correctness. It points to a radical change. For proof of this assertion I have simply to point to the fact that, &c. There are nume- rous points ol interest in and around the city. As an illustration of the point under consideration. Whether from a purely .scientific or practical point of view. At ten o'clock every point of vantage had been taken pos- session of. It may be sea.sonable to point out that, &/C. Interesting anecdotes on the various points in question. I only wish to point out that, in claiming exclusive right to it, you are assuming a great deal. The case is similar in some points. There are some weak points in its management. It points to the probability of his coming soon. That is the strong point against you. He may recover, but the chance's point the other '/ay. They point to this as an evidence that he is a complete hypo- crite. That is one point of interest. They are far be- neath them in point of intellectual ability. There is one point which should be emphaeiised in this connecfion. Tney point to the fact that the result of the trial is identical with yours. Suspicion points to him, and little taith seems to be placed in his denial. They were out- _ — 196 — played at every point. Tlcit is the splitting point. I should be pleased to get some itiformation on this point after you shall have carefully surveyed the whole field,^* Elngland, from a commercial point of view, is stauding''* still. The high step.'i are a poittt of vantage to J>ight seers. I do not look at it from your point of view. It makes up for its shortcomings in point of streng^th. There can be no doubt upon this point: Those points are not disputed. It is useless fro'm a commercial point of view. I'll make a point to be present. His popu- larity is a point in his favor. I yield the point. He is writing up the reformation from a Catholic point of view. The harrowing details point to this conclusion. That is more to the point. Let us come to the point. At this point, some manifestations of approval from the public were promptly reprimanded. They arie carrying the time piecfe mania to the point 6t wearing them as ornament.H in their ht/Ir. The good points of the previous scheme are embodied in it. Their having got the paper up to the paying point is largely' due to the fact that, &c. I They point the finger of reprobation at him. T pointed out that the utmost inconvenience would result from their present position. Thbugh stigmatized as a drun- kard, he does not think the t€iaching point a ^ore one, but he believes it exceptional here. I begged him for some points upon the unenviable life led by missionaries ; but his opinion resolved itself into ah all embracing sneer. The point of this was not lost on the Court, and he enjoyed it hugely. Hei*e is a story bearing on this point. Though these are the main obj« ctions to it, there is no objectionable point in it. I have scored a point. It is the only point upon which they could reasonably base any hope. His decision to refuse the usual leave of absence points to his eventual depai ture ; and being charged to make detailed arrangements for his possible departure, I elbowed my way through the crowd. He makes a point in his favor in counselling union. Accept- ing it to be true from a scientific point of view, this theory is the most tenable one yetoifered. The eyes of the world focus on that polint while such matters re- main stagnant. Pointing' out subh evils is calculated to work on their emotions. ••Ther* are uome new points of interest. It is so infrequent for him to be wrong on a point of detail. He pointed out in his letter one strange ~ 197 — inted from Irun- 1 one, ft for iries ; acing and this there oint. ably eave ein^ sihle He cept- this t's of s re- ed to t«of on a ange ieature of the trial. Such injustice has been frequently pointed out. Policy. — He did, in a mann, commit himself to a policy of unfriendliness toward England. Politics or political life in France is at fever heat. Policy. — I have no knowledge of any attempt or de- sire on his part to change the policy of the paper to suit the views of the government. My present policy is penny wise and pound foolish. Policy influenced by irritation. They are about to adopt a conciliatory policy towards the government, and a conciliatory attitude to- wards the people. Now, a word about your journal, its policy and mission. There is some political motive be- hind the plan. In politic!^ he is a strict non-partisan, having held himself aloof from party issues. He is dab- bling in the dirty water of politics. That a political earthquake is at hand in this country few will doubt. The political surface is unruffled. Poor. — His health has been but poorly of late. Popular. — There is a great deal of deference paid to popular prejudice. It is a popular error to suppose that he was born to his title. Both are popular and of steady habits. The popular expression of feeling is strongly in opposition to the government. It is the popular con- viction here that, &c. She has been crowned Queen of the Stage by popular verdict. He expressed the popular view of the matter when he declared it would amount to a public ^caiidal. On account of his increasing popu- larity they are planning future action against him. He is trying to preserve a waning popularity. It gives a good idea of the intensity of feeling and popular passion aroused. He is growing in popular favor, the report goes on to say. ^ Portion. — Universal scorn is their portion. A portion of the news despatcht'l was erased. The concluding portion of the book. ,, Portentous. — A document of portentous length. Po§e. — It is not my purpose to pose as, a champion. Position, — He reviewed the present position of society. Such is my position on this question. He ex- plained the position in a perfectly comprehensive man- ner. I keenly feel my position. I am not in a position to say exactly what .«hape it will take. It is astonish- ing with what persistency the position of this question m '•fSS't J»S»?»%<»'1P!P ii^ife*. — 198 — is misrepresented. That is the relative pobition of the laity and priests. I have been placed in a false position He could do it by right of position. I am not in a position to deny the rumour. It would seriously im- pair her position and interebt». He made the utmost of hip trying position. Positive. — The conspiracy, which has been exposed, was a positive success. A positive cure for all acute forms of diarihceu incidental to the Sum ner and Fall. I am not positive as to whether, &c. It would be a small loss, if not, indeed, a positive gain. Posaeaa. — He possesses the advantage of having plenty of money. It will call forth all the judgment you possess. He irrevocably possesses her heart. It possesses the merit of legibility. Greek possesses a power of expres- sion as never was attained by any living tongue. He should possess the courage of his convictions. It pos- sesses many advantages over other cities. It possesses all the characteristic traits of a brogue, but divested at the same time of the slightest trace of vulgarity. Other than this money he does not possess one dollar. He possesses, in a marked degree, a sense of fairness and justice. He positively declined. He does not possess the power of making himself invisible at will. England is alive to the advantages she possesses, and she aspires to rival Germany, which is greater, relatively speaking, than France or Spain in their day. She is also endeavor- ing to obtain a foothold in Africa. Tho'^e persons who argue in favor of dogs being possessed of intelligence, as opposed to mere instinct, should ponder on the sagacity shown by my dog. PoaaiUe. — They will investigate the possibility of restricting his visits to one a week. The power and possibilities of tfie force generated by the disintegration of water are inconceivable. That is but grim consola- tion, in view of possible complications. There could be no possibility of mistake. You can get there the best possible vnliif for your money. By ail possible means, rossibly this year s experience may be repeated next year. There is scarcely any possibility of doing it. It is possible that the time of the court may have been so taken up. His language was the greatest possible in- centive to disorder. The only possible theory is that a coal mine has caved in. This may possibly mean that, I ke — 199 ^ &c. It is shown beyond the possibili^ of doubt. The question of the possibility of the diffusion of cholera was brought up. It is as bad as it possibly can be. On the best terms possible. There is a possibility he may live for month**. I came with all possible speed. It is not possible through agitation. There is no possible remedy. Were there a possibility of anything satis- factory resulting from this controversy its prolongation might be desirable, but I submit that the subject is not one which can be discussed with advantage here : its proper place is in the columns of a paper where suitable type would emphasize and illustrate our argument. Without this concomitant our discussion must he fruit- less. It is within the possibilities. That is the only reasonable inference possible from his answer. This is by no means such a remote contingency as may at first sight appear, and this fact is quite within the bounds of possibility. There might be circumstances and considera- tions which would matce such an appointment possible ; Among these would be the wisdon or expediency, or both, of educating him well. He will charge strongly against the accused to-morrow, possibly to-day, and though the crown has not yet shown its full hand start- ling evidence is leaked for. Postpone. — They ct^nnot shirk or postpone their ac- tion. The ceremony was postponed owing to tho tur- bulent condition of the country. The answej.'s are necessarily postponed for want of space. Postpone the issue of your paper. The matter was postponed irdefinitely. Posture. — He was looking up in a thoughtful posture. Potent. — The potency of oil in calming the sea. They make the serious blunder of putting a potent weapon in the hands of an enemy. There is no instrument in human society so potential in its influence upon man- kind. Potent influence. Pour. — They are pouring ridicule on his visit. Power. — His offensive and defensive alliance with the premier was powerless to save him. I am powerless to do it. A man of considerable intellectual power. He was a power in his day and generation. Their fightinc^ for the great principle enaorsed by the Tories will keep the latter in power indefinitely. ■ ■''■ 4 — 200 — Practice. — That is a practical view of the question. The new way may possibly be practicable, but I see no neceHsity for a change. They should put into some prac- tical form what has hitherto been but theorizing. It is desirable that they should do it as soon as practicable. They will introduce the subject at the earliest practicable moment. Practice the economy you preach. Its prac- ticability is dependent entirely on it. To practice cruel- ties. It is the universal practice. Knowledge of a prac- tical character. What practical use is it ? You should put it in practice. The man arrested for alleged frau- dulent practices, made a dash for liberty. The sole responsibility practically rests with me. As far as prac- ticable. We daily see methods put in practice which demon.strate the power of invention in this particular (getting rich). Of protection there is practically none. The idea is fruitful and practical ; the other scheme strikes me as sentimental and unpractical. The unpre- cedented barbarities practised on his body. The scheme or proposition is not practicable or likely to meet with general appro vjeil. He enjoys such power and such rights, and his method is practicable. The police are powerless to cope with the toughs. Excitement runs high over the fact that he has been stripped of despotic power. Praise. — Unstinted praise. Precaution. — Alleged neglect of sanitary precautions. Precedent. — It is the more noteworthy, because it has so few precedents. The precedent would in all proba- bility be followed ever afterward. More extraordinary things could happen than that his campaign against the Poles should give England a precedent for the pacifica- tion of Ireland. The night preceding his literary fame. The fall of snow has been unprecedently large. An un- precedented fall of snow. They preceded him (in speak- ing), but their efforts, though creditable in the extreme, paled before his. Precipitate. — It would precipitate a ri.sing or insur- rection. It is undeniable that a demonstration would precioitate a fight. There is no known precedent to follow in the case. Those events will precipitate a financial crisis. When held to his promise, he preci- pitately left a very lucrative position trying to evade or elude her sedulously ofiTered hand. He killed his wife and precipitated a fearful conflict. Four grains of alum to a gallon of water will precipitate all its impurities. — 201 — istion. ;ee no ] 5 prac- Itis icable. bicable I prac- I cruel- a prac- should i frau- he sole IB prac- which rticular y none. scheme ) unpre- scheme set with h rights, owerless over the r. Precise. — Now the philosophy of giving a picture to purchasers is precisely the same ; it is the old principle of giving a sprat to catch a mackerel. They sang with precision and spirit. Precisely the same appearance. He furnished the means of indicating it with the utmost precision. With admirable precision. That is his pre- cise offence. There seems to be some uncertainty as to the precise amount of damage done. The cost of labor and all the incidentals of manufacture are precisely the same to turn out a pound of the veriest triish. It was carried out with systematic precision. Preclude. — To preclude, from an examination. It pre- cludes all clue to their divscovery. It is so expensive as to preclude many from the benefit of it. His age pre- cludes his acting in the matter. His close application to business precluded his taking an active part in any other work. Predict — To predict success. The Sultan's dethrone- ment is foreshadowed or predicted. Prelude. — It is only a prelude to it. Predicament. — I see your predicament. His law suit is in a strange predicament. Predominate. — Mud houses seem to predominate. Green was the predominating color. A fight in which scratching and hair pulling predominated. Prefer. — I have no preference in the matter. Charges of unfairness w^re preferred. Undue preference. Some prefer to creep where they should walk upright. Prejudice. — There are few prejudices more universal and more deeply rooted than that. It is prejudicial to pteneral interests. To veil prejudices. Preliminary. — It is the most necessary preliminary to it. As a preliminary step to doing so. Premature. — It is premature to say they are wedded to a partisan spirit. Recent reports of his surrender j are premature. It would have been premature and out of place to have depicted a character so many sided. The letter was prematurely sprung. Premise. — What truth there is in it it is impossible I to premise, but the episode will atibrd a good deal of jinterehting speculation. Prepare. — They are preparing for eventualities. As Ithe st»ory goes, he immediately prepared for a set to. Prepare a counter project. I am fully prepared to meet i i fn — 202 — yon for the discussion of public or religious matters on any occasion. Preparatory to doing it. The depari!. ment is in full blast (Preparing for the session. He is preparing for all contingencies by making his will. I am not prepared to say that you cannot realize what this means. Presage. — If these facts do not presage war they at least give evidence of the fact that Russia is going to war. Present. — In the early morning the streets presented a business appearance. Those facts presented themsel- ves to my notice. It presents the appearance of com- mon sense. He presented so extraordinary a spectacle that those facing him had some difficulty in preserving their gravity. His body presented a shocking appea- rance. He is a man of handsome presence, and well pro portioned. The presentation of these phr&ses in thii small type is dictieited merely by want of space. Tb room when the ball was as its height presented a bril liant appearance. He presented a most pitiful appea ranee. I waited for such an opportunity as would pre sent no possibility of interference or failure. We havi their view of the case presented as follows : The piei was very well presented. Not since then has the streei presented such scenes. The shrine is being artisticall; decorated, and presents a very inviting appearani That is the case as presented by the Orown. The de presented a very animated appearance. FortiTnately, opportunity was not presented as he had fled precipi tely. The city presents a good appearance from t river. Greater interest is presented from the Can side. The case presented many interesting featuri The arguments were more ably presented than is usual tige iril It presents many attractions to youngsters. It preseni p^^^ only these matters which must necessarily be learnefltantlv On further inquiry, a different phase of the questii|(^i] was presented. It presented a sad spectacle. The as they lie in their present location present such a qui picture of .;bsoIute demolition that it seems remarkal that any person escaped alive. The question of the 'i^eyance of the body presented great difficulties and 4the^fa< advantages. It presents a deserted appearance. ^Isumptii • political horizon presents a peaceful aspect from e^Vcause. point ef view. The streets present scenes of animati|iQi„^'^ I no rec jreasonj (pose, they hi — 203 — never before witnessed. Practically, the controversy presents itself as a simple question touching the power of the government. They are forcibly presenting his claims as the strongest man to oppose them. The stree^ presented a gay scene. The opposition have presented a determined front. He presents a smiling tront at all times and keeps his thoughts strictly to himself. I enjoyed the magnificent scenery which Niagara presents when attired in har Winter apparel. The question naturally presents itself : why was not the funeral, at his expressed wish, of the simplest character. The interior of the hospital presents a sad spectacle. Who is the prottpective champion of England is a ques- tion that naturally suggests or presents itself. Preside. — He is the presiding genius of the depart- ment. Press. — She has with bvt few intermissions slept ever since, and he persistently pressed this point on the court. Immediate action should be pressed. It is owing to the pressure of duty. It. is a pressing subject. The ri^ht course obviously would be to press it to an issue. Being pressed for money he sold it at what is considered low figures. There is great pressure upon him. She pressed her finger to her lips to enjoin silence. The strong pres- sure that has been brought to bear on him has nad a marked effect. These subjects are being pressed daily mto the forefront of the liberal programme. Being pressed to the utmost he asked for a remission of sen- tence. I note with dissatisfaction that pressure upon my time will, &;c. Prestige. — He will lose prestige unless he attempts a revolt. It is the general opinion that he has lost pres- tige in the army. Presume. — It is presumed that they did it very reluc- Itantly. It was his first, and, presumably, . ceremonious call. The presumption is that he will come. There is no reason to presume so. This, I presume, is the only reason. The speech was presumably made for that pur- pose. It is presumed that in forming their opinions Ithey have overlooked those considerations. I presume Ithe facts in my possession are unquestionable. The pre- Isumption is that he did it. Debt is presumably the Icause. It should not lead you to presume so. rresu- Iming that this information may be more or less accurate, k V — 204 — '"> I have the honor to point out to you that the assump- tion on which it is based is altogether unfounded. He presumes on his high rank. J^retend. — It is nonsense to pretend that he furnished I secret information to help on the cause of anDexation, or that he influenced others in favor of it. Nobody can pretend that the interests of a German nationality canj be furthered by promoting such use. Anyone pretend- ing to the name of gentleman would not do it. It would I be folly to pretend that the city is out of danger. Hel pretends to ignore the danger. He has no pretencel either to blood or beauty. The house has no preten-siunsl to style. Pretext. — I cannot see in it a pretext for laughing.! Make use of the circumstance as a pretext for interj ference. Prevail. — There is a complete stagnation of trade, andl much dissatisfaction prevails in the vicinity of the cityj Law^lessness prevails there. A feeling of agitation pre4 vails. I will not consider at length the doctrines thalj prevailed at a remote period. Justice is the prevaiiiDB spirit in its affairs. The p^'evalent opinion is that theyj will arrange to prolong the debate. Considerable dis-i content prevails over the fact that they were called upon to pay. Great unanimity prevaili'd at the meeting. An impressive silence prevailed throughout the room. Thd impression prevails that, &c. Some uncertainty pre) vails as to that. A better feeling prevails in the market Cold cheerless rains prevail. Disorder and darkne* prevailed. Wise counsels prevailed, and the conventioij proceeded in regular order. A veritable panic prevaili Sickness prevails among them. The opinion prevailj that he is living for some more appreciative obj^clf Con.siderable sickne.ss is prevalent among the men. Thj prevailing, color. Quietude prevails. Tibe greatest unj certainty prevailed as to whether, &c. A feeling of pro found sadness prevails here. Typhoid is alarmingH prevalent. It will be the prevailing sy.stern before anj great distant day. Nbtoriety is the prevailing fashioj of the day. That is the policy that pn^ vails here. Ther is ho coniceiaiment of the bitter feelingj prevailing ov^ the matter. It is contended that Wis idea se^ems to pr«j vail. He prevailed upon hereto pose as hj^ wife undfl j:>r6mise of marrying her. A better state of affairs mi — 205 — vails, but is the story fact or fiction ? Wintry wea- er prevails here. The practice has prevailed in France ith some variation. In view of the exceptional cir- imstances which now prevail in French politics, he will n issue a manifesto. An idea of the intensity of feel- ijf prevailing over the matter may be gathered from is speech. The conversation between some gentlemen ho had come together, was of a social nature, and re- iniscences pr»'Vrtil( I. •' Prevent. — The device for disease prevention is very mising. Prevent, if possible, the recurrence of ocea- ns such as this. He was prevented from accomplish- ig his purpose by the prompt intervention of the neigh- urs. Thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just, d though we never make wanton attacks on rivals, ehold self-defence a duty to ourselves and the public fhom we serve, and, therefore, we will not shirk the task f trade, andBj^y imposed on us of preventing the public from being of the cityMjOfiwinked by this modern Qoliath of misrepresenta- itation pre-Bon.

The Province is primarily agricultural both by tradition and necessity, and that element is largely supplemented in cities during the Winter by the use of manufactures. I left no means untried primarily and exclusively to reclaim him. Principal. — The house differa from theirs principally in that it is square. That is the principal objection to it. Principle. — But, seriously, is the free lunch principles sound cne ? The clock is on the 24 hour principle. Their religious principles are scrupulously respected. I did it on sanitary principles. He favored the principle of a delegation. The principle of local self-government is a false one. His conduct is governed by uniformity of principle. Acquisition and obedience are the alpha and omega of their political principles. There .is perhaps no principle so often misapplied. His principles are evidently of a very elastic nature. The elementary principle of the government is one law for all. It is a conceded principle that in America all men are equnl. The principle followed is to invite them to come. The] principle followed is that those who can work musi work. The give and take principle. He knocked hi out (boxing) on scientific principles. It is not the :nai I support but the principle which he represents. I fee! hurt at this monstrous outrage on the principles ol justice. He is true to his principles in this respect, al any rate, that he pays no rent. He strongly condetnnei the utter folly of an attempt to undermine free tradi principles, and produced a favomble impression. The' are loyal by principle, but Americans in heart. Prior. — Prior to the receipt of your letter. Prior t| entering the service of the company. His claim fo priority. The claim of priority is decided. Prior tj the suppression of religious houses. His motion ;v given priority. Prior to his addressing the audience stimulus was administered (given) to him in the sha| of a spontaneous collection.

I am unjustly debarred from those privileges. Probable. — In all human probability it is now a thing of the past. Independence is not among the pro- babilities. It may be so, but the probabilities are quite the other way. There is not the least probability of its being enforced. The probabilities are all in favor of fighting. The wound ^^11 probably prove fatal. It seems highly probable. This probability is strengthened by the fact that, &;c. Probe. — As a result of the inquiry three have been I arrested and it is quite evident, from this circumstance, that the idea of probing his connection with the scandal Ito the bottom has not been abandoned. Proceed. — He proceeded to relate his experience with [all its interesting details. He had not proceeded far before he ran foul of the premier, and the passage at * arnis which followed greatly r mused the House. He will be welcomed by some noted persons before proceed- ing homeward. He proceeded to defend the act with unquestioned vigor, and said they had not presented a single now idea, and that there was no evidence to show . it invaded the domain of provincial rights. The method of procedure intensified the difficulty. This proceeding on their part is without precedent. From words they [proceeded to deeds. Proceedings are threatened. An {nnderhand proceeding. I had not proceeded far when, He then proceeded to call attention to the fact Ithat, &c. The case now proceeding. Proceedings in iParliament derive additional interest from his presence.

This unusual proceeding of taking up the tickets was objected to. [There is nothing irregular in the proceeding.

The paper editorially proceeds to charge him with aiming at an- nexation by underhand means, and stigmatizes the whole affair as a plot of a traitorous character deserving our detestation. Process. — The process of restoring the church has just brought to light an interesting relic. An extremely rapid process (way). Learn languages by the Bask pro- ce.ss which must be pror»'^ •'need the very inverse of the natural order. He is thoroughly posted in the courting process. The building is in process of construction.

Medical aid was at once procured, but no human skill could avail. Procure practical results. I was at my wit's end to find a plan by which I could pro- cure money. Produce. — He reproduced the article of the " Sun ' in his paper. This produced a panic. His submission has not produced a good impression here. It is now pro- ducing its results in a largely increasing exodus to this country. His visit is productive of much misunder- standing. It pro'iuced a brilliant effect. Such blind- ness produces its natural consequences. An involuntary smile was produced by this mode of diversion. He has not produced any satisfactory instance of it. It is pro- ductive of no real benefit. A sensation was produced when it became noised about that they were to engage in a duel. His election has produced a bad impression, and is considered to bode ill to the peace of Europe. Expectation was at its height on the production of the letter. There is great diversity of opinion as to the cause which produces earthquakes. He is direfuUy dis- appointed, for her dress is the product of her own hand. None deny that it is productive of good results. Ke produced a sensation by a drama founded on incidents in a novel. • Proffer. — I availed myself of the proffered boon. Profess, — He professes ignorance of your whereabouts. 209 — The professional idlers snatched a minute to witness the closing scenes in his life. He stands professedly as a radical for election. They profess to regard the preces- sion as got up to strenghten his hands. He is a pro- fessed infidel. Proficient. — He is a proficient in music. Profit — He has not profited by experience. He wastes his talents and energies in profitless pursuits. It would be profitless to discuss it. Profound. — It has been kept a profound secret up to this time. His intentions ai'e still a profound mystery. Profuse. — He was profuse in his expressions of grati- tude and approval towards him. Progress. — The progress of his diser^se has been arres- ted, but the mischief done is irreparable. Quite a com- motion was caused while the case was in progress. Even in this progressive age any reform must expect to meet with a certain degree of opposition and prejudice. The progress of negotiations for a settlement has been arres- ted. He is making steadj?^ progress towards recovery. The case was still in progress at the moment of going to press. During the progress of the investigation. During the progress of the riots. The town is psrmeated with the spirit of progress and onward march. That it has made so little progress is perhaps its best memorial. The improvements are progressing favorably. The grea- test enemy of our progress. More progress than has hitherto been possible. There is an inquest in progress. He is progressing in the delightful occupation of love making. They are a progressive people. Work has been progressing for a year, but much opposition is expected to the project. The meeting is still in progress. Her progress was an unbroken ovation. If I mistake not, slow progress is being made. The battle is in pro- gress. A progressive paper. He is progressing satis- factorily towards convalescence. His progress was a triumphal one. In keeping with the fast progressing age in which we live, a keen demand for an abbreviated form of writing has arisen. I found evidences of won- derful progress. The strike is in progress. Work has been resumed with great vigor, and the building of the tower is progressing fast. Negotiations are in progress looking to a reconciliation between them. The rapid progress of invention in those modern days is illustrated 14 •>. fen^li N:f ■fim — 210 — by this fact. Arrangements are in progress for other amusements. He makes very slow progress in improve- ment. Prcject. — The project found favor in the eyes of those present. There is a gigantic project now on foot. The project is well entertained. He is cognizant of the pro- ject. He has been dissuaded from the project, a result which will relieve from serious anxiety those who are conversant with the insalubrity of the city. There is great excitement over the tragic incident. Prominent. — He is jumping into prominence. He has been brought into prominence by the adverse suit in- stituted against him. A pro[i:inent official took a pro- minent part in the matter. Distrust is the most pro- minent feature. He is prominent in musical circles. Those are prominent facts in his life. Prominence has been given to his remarks which are gross exaggerations. Men of notoriety or prominence. It brings into pro- minence anti-English feeling. Promise. — Grain promises to yield well, and hay is an exceptionally abundant crop, though damaged by the persistent showers. The struggle over royal grants pro- mises trouble. It promises to be in keeping with the other, both as to the amount of misrepresentation and the flagrant exhibition of its true object. We do not see anythinfif promising in the situation. Next week promises to be a memorable one in Montreal. The loss promises to be of a temporary character. The attempt promises to be a difficult undertaking. The operation promises the best results. It promises to be a big suc- cess. He has not met with a success commensurate with his talents. The price promises to increase in conse- quence of the early setting in of cold weather, which has created an unequalled demand for fuel. The story is revived that it proiuisss important results in the near future. Promote. — It will not promote your chances of suc- cess. They had a free discussion as the best means of promoting their interests. Aside from their specific j value in promoting the diffusion of knowledge. Pro- mote the end sought for. I will do my utmost in an I humble way to promote that great end. The promotion | of science.

Pro- (most in an promotion ipted such donation, he having gained fame and fortune at the expense of the poor. This action is supposed to have been prompted by his attacks. Prompted by no other motive than a desire to harrass them. The necessity for prompt action, "^his should be promptly frowned down. The odd part of the present case is that prompt action is required. Prone. — Hia extreme proneness to do wrong. Pronounce. — He pronounced the law unjust. They will pronounce early upon the issue between the two Houses. They have pronounced upon his mental con- liirion. He pronounced him cured. That is the great issue upon which you are called upon to pronounce. His illness is pronounced unfounded. A pronounced Republican. There is a pronounced feeling in that way. He pronounced her ca.se hopeless. They have pro- nounced decisively against his plan. A movement in the opposite direction is very pronounced. He has pro- nounced upon their future policy. He pronounced him- self strongly in its favor. The cheque was pronounced a forgery. It was pronounced by all, both by parti- cipants and spectators as a complete success. The ver- dict is pronounced a miscarriage of justice By the time the case came on, life was pronounced extinct, and his slayer hail cleared out. A pronounced success. One of his most pronounced peculiarities is an inordinate love of cold weather, and he makes callers stand around while awaiting his good pleasure. Proper. — Her mother lectured her on the proprieties and exhorted her to be a little lady. He lived on the itskirts of the town, and the fact is here recorded. Prophesy. — It is hard to prophesy the end. Propagate. — To propagate opinions and contagion. Proportion. — He is seven feet in height and of propor- tionate build. His liabilities are small, but his assetts are also proportionately small. The buildings do not keep race proportionally with the population. All things considered, crime is proportionately less to-day than then. A female of (gigantic) massive proportions. His mirth is growing in proportion to his floridity. Propose. — It is proposed to try it on a wider scale. A speculative genius proposed to sell it. His expulsion was proposed. They propose to organize an opposition party. The proposed exhibit is a step in the right y >l it 1 '■■U — 212 — direction as it creates a demand for work. A business like proposition. On what basis did he propose the arrangement. It is extremely improbable that he will adhere to my propositions. Prosecute. — The work of isolation is being prosecuted. To prosecute a search. The work of carrying on the institution has been prosecuted under great difficulties. Proscribe. — To proscribe ideas. Prospect. — Amalgamation is not proceeding with any prospect of success. The prospects at present are that it will be completed possibly in time. The prospects of success are regarded as extremely precarious. Moon- light excursions are in prospect. Prospective coercion. His prospect is darkly clouded. I find myself face to face with the prosptct of a keen competition at the hands of a rival. A prospective heiress. The crop prospects are generally favorable. There is a match for the championship in prospecti\ ^. So far, there is every prospect of its being an entire success. There is little prospect of any action upon his suggestions. His pros- pects are improving. He is prospecting out West. The weather is decidedly cooler with a prospect for rain. There is a prize tight in prospect. There is an early prospect of the question of the letters being broached. Home rule prospects. It is just possible that her pros- pective husband, Ok truant lover may be conciliated. With her beauty and vast prospective wealth she will win him. Prosper. — Every prosperous community has three strings to' its bow — agriculture, manufactures and con merce. There is a bitter fight in prospect ; but in his endeavour to probe the subject he has signally failed. Prostitute. — When a correspondent sends a dispatch which he knows is not correct he is simply prostituting an honorable calling. Prostrate. — Prostrated with nervous attack, with grief. He is totally prostrated on account of the affair. Protect. — He is wholly unprovided with protection. That would be the immediate consequence of the right to protect oneself being an inalienable one. Protest. — England indignantly protested without re- sult. He ejiphatically protested against what he con- sidered, an abuse of power. He vehemently protested his innocence to the last. I protested against it being done. 213 — isiness se the he will lecuted. on the iculties. ig with jent are rospects Moon- coercion, face to n at the rhe crop natch for s is every •e is little ais pros- est.

'the right lithout re- lat he con- protested It it being Proud. — He i.s proud of his new acquisition in the shape of a gold watch, and is refining his health. Prove. — Should the present cabinet prove unworkable. My assumption (turned out) proved to be cotrect. The distribution of relief will prove a help in detecting sec- reted cases. Our object has been attained. It proved unsuccessful. They were proved to be implicated in the plot. The consequences of such a move might prove very injurious. All efforts to do so have proved un- availing. The results proved encouraging and were re- ceived with repeated cheers. She proved incompetent and wholly unequal to her task. The choice proved a very judicious one in every respect. The wall proved too low. The police proved totally inadequate to the work of protecting their interests. The debate proved discursive to an unexpected degree. The bill, if passed, would prove utterly abortive of good and fruitful of evil. His efforts proved of no avail. His trip was un- dertaken in the expectation that the change of air would prove beneficial. The late stringency in the market will prove of advantage in checking such ten- dency. The attempt proved unsuccessful. He has given proof of his wonderful power as an orator. His trial is expected to prove very sensational. The rumour proved to be incorrect. All conce.ssions proved valueless. All his concern proved worthless. It has proved a failure. The result proved a great surprise to the large concourse of spectators present. That is the point to be proved. It proved fatal. It is a proof of the perversity of his uisigns. We are beginning what may prove a series of fine days. It has proved a success. A few remarks will prove interesting. A week's quarantine proved an insufficient safeguard. Investigation proved the con- trary. It will doubtless prove consoling. He cites a number of cases in proof of this theory. The di.sea.se I has been clearly proved to be preventible in a high de- gree. He appeared on the scene, and his identity being proven, recorded his vote in due form. Such hope has proved fallacious. It proved to be his body. The imme- diate result proved that my opinion was well founded. [He proved (turned out) to be a good fellow. The expe- jriment proved successful. Late developments proved [that the disease was measles. He did not prove strong lenough to stand the strain. The excitement proved too •i 1t: — 214 — much for him. Separation would prove disantrous to oar best interests. The confinement of the unwilling prisoner by subsequent events must have proved irk- some to him. His illness proved of a grave character having assumed a dangerous aspect before he died. He is gifted with that rare talent which has proved so po- tent in the success of others. All his efforts to form a ministry proved futile. I have struggled against heavy odds which have proven too much for me. He has proved by facts and figures that the difference between tl»e two routes, giving the cape route every advantage claimed for it, is barely one week. To^vhat extent their efforts proved successful has not transpired. It might prove advantageous to you. This is suflSciently proved by experience. Though the affair was conceived and arranged within a short time, and was somewhat expe- rimental in its nature, it has proved more successful than the most enthusiastic had predicted. The disagreement will prove insurmountable. The negotiations have pro- ved fruitless. Russia demanding impossible concessions, i The facts proven by the evidence. His injuries proved fatal. It will be abundantly proved that they are, taken altogether, the fruitful source of other abbrevia- tions. There was a semblance of proof made, but it wae extremely mild in its nature. As there is no way to prove a paradox or false proposition but to take it for granted, so such as would tarnish a man's good name with the accusation of ill-nature rarely descend to proofs or particulars. It proved no small consolation to me. This is an encouraging sign, and will prove a blessing to many. It has proved an additional burden upon me. It must ever prove a source of joy and plea- sure in its contemplation. It proves to demonstration I that he is travelling in their interests and, that money, i not merit, is the chief medium by which literary rank is attained. The case is a novel one, and the outcome will prove of interest. It is proving of the greatest benefit, but the iMW sppcitic for influenza has paralysed its effects. It gives proof of much care and industry, both with regard to the aims it has in view, and the way in which these have been carried out. If report be true, it I proved quite delusive. All the talk about there beingl a large contingent of the youth of the town proved al perfect fizzle. He proved an easy victim for his oppoj nent. Absolute proof is not available. — 215 — Provide. — Such a remedy has been provided. They had a pull out of the can of beer which he had warily provided to lubricate the negotiations. They should provide for the contingency of an extra meal now and then. There was a special attraction provided in the shape of prizes. The question of providing accommo- dation has been left in abeyance. Province. — It is not our province to deal with it. It is not within my province to speak so. Theology is not his province. It is not our province to qualify as miracles favors accorded to the piety oi the sick who are imbued with sentiments of holiness. Provoke. — The mention of this fact provoked a smile and he took my extended hand. It provoked a hot debate or discussion, the judge holding that the case was not fairly at issue. The charming naivetd by which, in its opening remarks of a column in length, it lays bare its purpose, must provoke a smile from the thoughtful reader. It provoked a good deal of comment and oitter resentment. Proxirriity. — He was in close proximity to the lamp. It is in close proximity to us. The pest hole is in dan- gerous proximity to the city. '- Public. — The comments are such as to rather inten- sify public uneasiness, the rope and other accessories having been stolen. I recognize the responsibility im- posed by its publication. PuU. — He will pull through in the end. Pump. — I pumped h'.m thoroughly dry. Pure. — To destroy flowers out of pure cussedness. The banks are open for purely urgent business. A brilliant week of pure enjoyment is looked for. Par- tyism is too strong to allow provincial affairs to be con- ducted purely on local lines, and at a time when the seeds of strife are germinating. Purport. — A document purporting to be signed by him. The purport of the diwpatch. He had letters purporting to come from celebrated men. Purpose. — It is assumed that he will doggedly adhere to his purpose of publicly expressing himself on political topics. The moral of the story is, he never faltered in his purpose to obtain liberal terms. He throws a flood of light upon the purpose of the meeting. Money is being frittered away to no purpose on country fairs. 'Mi UMi — 216 — ' He went to my brother to brir g influence to bear on me for the purpose of promotion. I understand French sufficiently for all my purposes. I went there on pur- pose to do so. The course he proposes to pursue is not clear to him. With the laudable purpose of voting. Pursue. — We intend to pursue the subject further. He pursued his operations without hindrance. That is the proper course to pursue in an emergency. Leave him free to pursue his researches. The inconsistent course pursued by you. That is the common sense course to pursue. He is pursued with a relentless animosity. France will not depart from the policy of inaction she has hitherto pursued. The policy proposed to be pursued in its columns, is entirely incompatible with in* dependence. I raised him to his feet wnen he started in pursuit of me. That need not prevent you pursuing the matter further. They have agreed on the policy to pursue. Pry.-^He pried into her private affairs. Push. — Push your claims vigorously forward. The work of erecting the lamps is being pushed forward vigorously. He is going to push the charges to the bitter end. He rapidly pushed himself ahead until he became successively cashier and director, and eventually started a bank. Put. — They put him on a plane with the noblest names in history. To say that my nerves were shaken would be putting it in very mild language. It will put an end to all anxiety on this score. His sympathies were sometimes put to a severe test. Put an end to this chronic evil. To put it mildly. This kind of row- dyism should be sternly put down. To say that the excitement borders upon panic is putting it very mildly. He made an objection to the claims put forward by its advocates. It can be put to a variety of uses. It is difficult, as you put it, to effect an entrance in such wise — it would be attended with numerous difficulties. He puts us to every inconvenience than he can, and gives us no end of trouble. Quail. — To quail before the storm, a rebellion, &c Quaint. — Quaint phraseology. The hotel is a quaint little concern. Quilify. — I have no special knowledge qualifying me for saying so. Qualify their conduct as outrageous. He is said to have qualified such cbnditions as childish. — 217 — on me 'rench Q pur- is not '^\ urther. i'hat is Leave isistent I course mosity. naction i to be jeith in- started pursuing )olicy to pd. The forward s to the until he rentually noblest shaken will put mpathies end to of row- that the •y mildly. .rd by its 18. It is fuch wise [ties. He md gives ^n, &c a quaint ifying me ftrageous. childish. Quarter. — He is losing flesh notwithstanding that his airv quarters are comfortable. He is safely ensconced in nis new quarters. Quandary. — I am in a quandary to know how to act. Qudl. — To quell a disturbance. They virtually ad> mitted they had quelled the riot. Quent. — He is in quest of a suitable house. Question. — The question of safety was the first one brought up in connection with a discussion on the sub- ject. Defend his position on the Tax question. The question of priority. They are divided on the question of taxation. There are various views on the question. A man of questionable character. The question of weight was considered in view of the difficulty which has occurred. The question at issue. The Irish ques- tion was the sole object of discussion. There can be no question of his being so. The question as to his race or religion is wholly irrelevant and ought to be ruled out of the question. It is beyond question that the churches to-day are so many centres for disseminating disease. The question is merely one as to who shall pay. I ques- tion the wisdom of doing it. Until the question of his sanity is clearly decided. The articles in question were seemingly intended to create dissatisfaction. It is more than a question of taxation. His public utterances on the question are well known. That is a question of the future. Opinions on the Irish question are about equally divided. I question its genuineness. A conservative ministry is considered out of the question. It proves beyond all question his moral authority. The claim that they reached the farthest Northern point is open to question. He is airing his views on the Irish question. Morbid curiosity and questionable taste. I questioned its utility, and he used his influence to thwart it. They are decidedly in favor of annexation, and their opinion is generally shared by the greater portion of citizens, all uniting in declaring that it is not a question of sentiment but of dollars and cents. I have considerable interest in this question. The question of visiting France is be- set with uncertainties. Broach the question of inde- pendence. The appointment in question has been re- ceived with favor. Ascertain what the general feeling is on the question. I express no opinion upon the ques- Ition. Let us go back to the question. That knotty — 218 — question is Mettled. It is very Questionable whether, &c. There can be no question as to his ability. The article in question is vile in its insinuations. It is a question of ownership. If it is a fair question, what do you think of it ? That is a question open for discussion. We do not question the propriety of any man in calling him- self a professor, we only question his taste. Public in- terest in the affair overtops even political questions. It is out of the question. That is the great question of the moment. The qviestion was debated as to whether, &c. That it involves a very considerable abatement of the privileges of landlords is not questioned. On all ques- tions ot nationality they are narrow minded and intole- rant. He will make them an offer looking to the settle- ment of the Irish question. The question is simply a question of law. All other questions are in abeyance. Put forward the question of improvement. The ngotia- tions embrace a general scheme for the adjustment uf all questions in dispute. It has no bearing on these questions. The question of their admission is under consideration. It is mainly a question of organization and money. On this question there can be no doubt. That is a question of taste. It is a puzzling question, and one that cannot be intelligibly explained within the limits of a letter. He uses language of questionable elegance. The question is making satisfactory progress. It would be utterly out of the question to do so. The question is one of great moment. He is mixed up in transactions of a questionable nature. There are other elements besides the ministerial question to complicate the situation. To beg a question (petere principium) is not to evade the question, but to assume the point at issue, or in other words, to ask your antagonist to grant the point about which the argument was raised. The accuracy of his calculations has been called in question. On the question of legibility I can say nothing, but the testimony on that point so far is good. The tax ques- tion is becoming a bone of contention. The question is rapidly forcing itself to the front. That is the burning question of the day. His nationality is questioced. On that question we can say nothing : that must be left to experiment. Agitate the question of prohibition. There is no question but the universe has certain bounds set i to it. You are not right on the question of principle, - 219 — er, &c. article aestion I think We do g hiin- blic in- onf.

There bounds set principle, and it does not afford any solid reason for acting so. The questi(m of a printing office is said to be upon the tapin. A nicb question if raised in this regard. He questioned her closely as to his business, and called particular attention to the point that he was absent. The sincerity and spontaneity of the greeting could not be questioned. The question regarding the extensive frauds is undecided. I am inclined to question whether the feat which forms the chief incident was ever per- formed. There is unanimity on the main question. It is but a question of a few days before the end is at hand, he being still staunch to the liberals. The feeling of the people is pretty well worked up on this question. This is not a question of nationality merely, it is a ques- tion of right and wrong, and we concede the justice of his claim. The question of increasing their pay does not come within the legitimate scope of the .society; it is rather a question for the citizens. This rather than any particular question is at the bottom of the crisis. He brought the discussion to a head by the question : " how do you know it is bad in every point of view ? " The question of meeting comes up for consideration to- morrow. His identity has been placed beyond question. Questions beyond your scope. I questioned with look and gestrre the man who is gaining in popularity every day. Both i»^«n are in conflict on the question of autho- rity. The appointment in question is looked upon with favor, and it h stated he has left for Rome with this end in view. Their first work was to question the vic- tim, but as his incoherent answers gave the impression that be was under the influence of the drugs admi- nistered, he was allowed time to collect his thoughts. Quicken. — Quicken the pulsations of business. Quit. — The motives and circumstances of his quitting Montreal are well known. Quote. — For the purpose of illustration it is necessary to quote other instances. Quite. — Independence has gone quite out of fashion. Rack. — Most excruciatinjr are the twitches which rack my muscles. < . ^ :* Rage. — Seeking divorce on the ground of desertion is now quite the rage in Paris. Radical. — It shows the necessity of a radical change. A radical antagonism between the two races is develop- ing itself. It is radically untrue. ^^i! — 220 — Raise. — It is customary to raise a great outcry at unjust treatment, but a contemptuous smile, or a tritiing favor makes it all right again, and obliterates the recol- lection of grave and repeated wrongs. This circum- stance has raised an insurmountable objection to it. I wonder why opposition was raised. They should not raise a voice in their behalf until something is to be made out of the agitation. He raised ten dollars. He raised the standard of rebellion — of revolt. They en- deavored to silence him by raising a point of order. He rose to a point of order. Although the imposition is patent to all no one dares to raise his voice as a re- monstrance. He empowered me to raise a loan. They raised point after point of order. It only raises false issues. The chief objection raised against it. The ques- tion has been raised as to the sanitary eifent it would have. The question was raised that the oath was not taken. He raised a hubbub. The book contains a vast amount of information calculated to raise the city in public esteem. It has raised a panic. He raised the plea of insanity. A novel point raised. In our last issue we dealt with the question raised by you. On raising the subject I found his anger was not one bit abated, and that her visit did not improve matters. He raised a strong protest to the want that is so severely felt. He bluntly admitted that my voice has been raised to some purpose. He has raised dual language issues and race and religious issues. The impulsive Bismark has raised the ire of the ministers. It has raised my hopes. Rally. — His friends rallying to his support, a des- perate fight ensued. He has rallied from his relapse. Bally to his aid. Rampant. — An anti-Irish feeling is rampant among them, and they loathe the idea of home rule. Boy- cotting is rampant. Disease is ever rampant. The fanatical element of the people is rampant against him. Range. — Disappointment is rankling in his bosom, and a sudden appeal to the country is counted within the range of possibilities. Girls ranging in age from ten to twenty years. Where there is such a wide range of opinion, it is better to abstain from inte/ference. It was within range of my vision. Mothing like it has come within the range of my experience. The height ranges 221 — ircum- )it. I lid not ls to be •s. He tiey en- l order. position as a re- .

They should not meddle with vnatters outside of their range, but should attend to purely municipal affairs. Rank. — He ranks as an important pei'sonage, and is credited pretty generally with a fair share of practical ability. Rapid. — The rapidity with which it has spread is unprecedented. Rate. — He is rated high in the commercial world. The current rate. Rather. — He has rather overdone the business. He appeared to be in rather high spirits (tipsy). Rare. — He is seen at rare intervals upon the streets. Rattling. — He plays a rattling game. Reach. — A vote has not yet been reached. They have not reached any practical conclusion on the subject. I reached a point from which a view of the plain could be commanded. Last Sunday, matters reached a climax. Order has not yet been reached. The death rate has reached such proportions as will justify stringent mea- sures. As soon as it reaches respectable figures. The dispute has reached a crisis. The excitement is reaching a dangerous height. His moral altitude is going sky- ward at a rapid rate, and will soon reach the zenith of possible glory. That event has not yet been reached. The spirit of revolt has reached hh tribes. The conclu- sion reached is, there is no fight in it. That is the best means of reaching the object desired. The river has reached its culminating point. Evidently the ultimatum is not yet reached. They had reached the point where it became a question whether, &c. The trouble reached a climax this niorning. None of the conclusions reached were permitted to be given to the public. A definite ao;reement upon it was reached, and a hitch is now con- sidered impossible. To reach right results. He is out of reach of any proselytising effort. She intimated that if some result was not reached before a fortnight had elapsed she, &c. The sad tidings reached the city yes- terday. He has reached the pinnacle of suffering. He is determined to reach a settlement of the case. It has reached a point where the last possibility disappears. The crisis is not likely to reach a more acute stage. It will have far reaching results. It has reached a grave crisis. They have reached a satisfactory understanding. •.. '11 — 222 — The place was soon reached. Matters have reached such a condition that to openly offendi the head (chief) of the criminal element would seem to invite political ostracism. We have reached a stage fn our shorthan-l revolution upon which we may join hands in mutual congratulation. They failed to reach a decision. It was then the merriment reached a climax. The quarrel has reached a crisis. He has reached the zenith of his career, and I can discover no reason for it. It is laugh- able to think the damage reached $100.00. When will this state of proceedings be reached ? Prior to this being reached, a considerable amount of routine business was transacted. When we had reached the park we found them jubilant at the result of the election. Oh the sta- tion being reached she and her custodians got out. He has reached a condition of perfection. The matter has not yet reached publicity. At/ this point the riot reached its height. The case is beyond tiic reach of medical treatment. Ready. — I believe it the more readily because, &c. They are in readiness. The account for his expenses, for his sustenance, furnishes valuable date not otherwise readily obtainable. Make ready for the fray. All are in readiness. Realize. — I fully realize its importance. It setmed to realize what had happened. He realized his position at once. It is difficult to realize that they both voted on the right side. He realizes his situation, and is un- ceasing in prayer. He realizes my anxiety. To realize this we have only to recall instances of fhis kind. It is important that you should realize the tru^ issue. I re- ahze it to the fullest extent. Few peopi; r alize what it is to travel. Some day. you will fully realize this. To realize his condition. To realize my own ideal and to fulfil the just expectations of the people would war- rant such a course, as they alone could compensate the sacrifices which the undertaking would involve. He is far from realizing this fact. You can hardly realize how poor they are. To realize the wickedness of stealing. It is hard to realize the rumours afloat. Considerably over SIOOO was realized, a result very flattt^ring to you. How stringent those measures are the world has never yet realized. It rarely happens that people are their real selves, they are the impersonations of something — 223 — eached (chief) oUtical irthan'l mutual It was rrel has i of his s laugh - hen will bisbeirg ness was ve found fi the sta- out. He tatter has at reached f medical else. The transaction had no reality. It has realized to the utmost my most sanguine expectations. It will never realize the fond ambition of its inventor. Were the fact more generally realized, which it is our mission to make known and bring home to all classes in the community, that it is within the grasp of every indivi- dual possessed of the rudiments of education, we fancy that few would be without it. I cannot say whether this be a real or fanciful sentiment. I cannot realize the necessity of what I consider a grotesque farce. A genuine swell and the realization of all that is sublime. It is difficult to realize you are in Paris. Realize, if you can, the extent of our business and the appreciation in which we are held by our patrons. The interview was directed towards realizing their pacific hopes. The im- pression is gaining ground that it is a grim terrible re- ality. Rebuke. — It is uncomfortable to live in the presence of a perpetual rebuke. Reap. — Who reaped the honors of the occasion ? Whatever a man soweth that shall he also reap, to sow the wind is to reap the whirlwind. To reap the fruits of cultivation. We are now reaping the reward of a fixed determination against the trashy produccions of unscrupulous manufacturers which we have steadily upheld. Rebut. — To rebut charges of cruelty. Reason. — I pleaded and reasoned with my girl of bashful sixteen, but unavailing! y. The rents are out of all reason. His conclusions are reasoned with logical force. Recall. — I cannot distinctly recall the incidents of the meeting. To recall sad memories. That recalls it for- cibly to my mind. Receive. — I received the best attention at his hands. The announcement was received with applause. I can- not recall an instance in which there has been so much misrepresentation as to the merits of this question. He has received notification that the church has been for- mally opened. No details of the affair have been re- ceived beyond the fact that, &c. News of an encoura- ging character has been received. I received it with infinite satisfaction. Your suggestions will receive every consideration. The following is the substance of the 224 — information I received : On receiving the news I went away. I received a complete exoneration from any complicity in that affair. It is some compensation for the rebuffs you have received. He has received dis- quieting-cheering news. I received no look of recogni- tion. He is smarting under the cold treatment he re- ceived. It is not received with enthusiabm by represen- 'tative literary men. I received it with profound silence. I was the recipient of a bouquet. I am able to add that I have- received the approbation of leading men. We receive with pleasure the announcement that the arrangements for its publication are commensurate with the reputation it has sustained hitherto. His note re- ceived prompt acknowledgment. She received his at- tentions with the coldest indifference which maddened him. A peculiarity of the case is, he has received a life term. The latest intelligence received here indicates that the city is in a state of tranquillity, but other dis- patches peculiarly one-sided reiterate the statement that the facts are very meagre. The scheme for the building of a bridge has been received with extreme disfavor. Recent. — Without a symptom of the wear and tear of his recent labors. His recent tragic death lends a me- lancholy interest to the article. He was considered be- yond suspicion until recently. As recently as 1880. His recent utterances have given rise to a good deal of discussion. As recently remarked, it is admittedly of no use. He tells of a recent aHempt to assassinate him. Reciprocal. — Unrestricted reciprocity. Recite. — The recital of the trouble. Reckon. — You cannot reckon upon his support. Recluse. — I am a good deal of a recluse. Recognize. — The action of oil in calming waves is now generally recognized. His friends, recognizing this fact, directed their entire energies to the task of electing him. It is «* polite mark of recognition. I recognize the principle that, &c. A subject of recognized impor- tance. He does not recognize his danger. We recognize the importance of perfect isolation. His responsibility is being widely recognized. It is generally recognized that Monday will terminate his earthly career, and thatj is all the more probable on account of what has tran- spired in the last two days. They recognize the fact | that we are spending as much money as we can con- »-*tt*-r'-- 226 — [ went m any ion for ed dis- recogni- he re- ing men. that the rate with note re- 1 his at- aaddened ved a life indicates other dis- ment that e building isfavor. i,nd tear of pnds a rae- idered be- as 1880. 3od deal of [littedly of ainate him. )ort. veniently afford. One cannot fail to recognize the stamp of severity. The grant is a recognition of his genius. He is slow to recognize our rights. I recognize the desirablity of merging them into one as ensuring greater speed to that end. His success has been recog- nized by many who have reaped the advantages of his training. It is an honest recognition of the evils deeply rooted in social life. It is recognized as an indispen- sable necessity. His remains are beyond recognition. It is an evident and universally recognized fact. I fully recognize the valuable nature of such information. I recognize the worthiness of your object. Contagion does not recognize municipal limits. A recognized practice. Nothing beyond a glance of recognition. The right of this country to have a potential voice in ne- gotiations with foreign countries in which her interests are directly concerned, is not recognized. I do not recognize such a fact as a legitimate objection. They recognize the imperative necessity of some immediate action being taken, and point to the fact that the vital principles of the convention seem to be at stake. It will interest you to know that its merits are not fully recognized and its superiority acknowledged. Short- hand has latterly come to be recognized as an essential part of a clerk's education. You recognize the fact that gas greatly varies as to quality. He practically recog- nizes the existence of this new state of things : the act is ultra vires in the opinion of his advisers ; ergo, it cannot be allowed. The accident was of a minor cha- racter ; but they refused to recognize his authority. I recognize the necessity of a new social factor in this country sparsely settled with people, and in which a medium of communication is needed. He is quick to recognize a point in the case, and, among other cases,. that of the exiling of his brother is instanced. Recline.— Tie was in a reclining position making things look as if he was up to snuff ; and it remains to see what the upshot will be. He lay in a reclining position in his coflSn exposed to view. Recommend. — It has the recommendation of cheap- ness. I have no hesitation in recommending it to your attention. He has much to recommend him. . v- Reconcile. — They are becoming reconciled to vacdna- tion. He is over his despondency, and appears to be 15 i ■mi __R — 226 — I ; . ^.■t reconciled to his fate. Their divergent views are re- conciled, notwithstanding the sudden and rapid develop- ment of events thus far. Record. — His record is highly spoken of. He has an unstained record. The deed is recorded in a formal document. The incident is thus briefly recorded : The papers record the occurrence. The storm is the worst on record. Part of his previous record has been un- earthed. Enough is known of the murder to make it evident that he was the victim of one of the foulest conspiracies of which history bears record, and the insti- gators are still a matter of conjecture. The old saying that the course of true love never runs smoothly was amply verified in the instance we are now about to record. Recount. — Recount the circumstances of the murder which has occurred. Recoup. — He is recouping his strength. Refiourse. — Some said he should be hanged, others maintained that he should not, and to settle the diffe- rence the disputants had recourse to an exhibition of fisticuffs which developed into a riot. Recover. — He is recovering from the effects of the accident. He is on the high road to recovery. The erratic movements of those recovering from a spree. At a late hour his body had not been recovered. Rectify. — To rectify mistakes. Recur. — It is a frequently recurring word. He has a recurrence of his throat trouble. Redeem. — A spell of dry weather may yet redeem what appears to be a bad harvest. England should re- deem her honor. To redeem weaknesses. Redouble your efforts. Redress. — I will try my best efforts at redressing these Grievances. To redress these evils is a work of great ifficulty. To redress bad treatment. Reduce. — The chances of escape would be reduced to a minimum, and the cost would be minimized, too. It reduces the courts to pauperism, an idea that cannot be tolerated for a moment. It will reduce the number materially. When it comes to reducing oratory to facts, he is no where. English spelling should be reduced to uniformity. Are you reduced to the necessity of doing it ? It would have the effect of reducing them to penury. ,^v ■;"-ifH?^-" — 227 ~ has an formal : The 3 worst sen un- nake it foulest le insti- L saying ihly was kbout to d, others the diffe- ibition of ts of the Bry.

It greatly reduces the necessity of Germany's reliance upon Austria in the event of hostilities from any quarter, and so in- creases Austria's degree of dependence upon Germany. Those allegations reduce the inquiry to a farce. Reek. — A change to warm weather is causing the air to reek with corruption. Refer. — Unquestionable references. I referred to the apathy displayed in the matter. He referred to the fact that though not openly mentioned it had displeased him in the extreme. He referred to the subject en passant. The following is a full text of the resolutions referred to. He referred to it enthusiastically as possessing some advantage^, and to the persistent silence they maintain. In counselling them to offer resistance, he did not mean a resort to physical force, but to constitutional resistance. I merely referred to the matter incidentally. Referring to the question he says that she is not a whit better than anyone else. Speaking at Boston, he referred in tones of regret to the fact that there was scarcely one but knew it, and to the danger attached to the practice ; but such action will not commend itself to the public. Rejlect — It reflects discreditably upon the standard of manhood. The disease is reflecting seriously upon busi- ness. It will refl«^ct injuriously upon them. Grave ref- lections are cast upon us. True or false, it reflects great discredit and dishonor upon the country. The meeting reflects the sentiments of the people. His compulsory resignation reflects disadvantageously on the cabinet. Any censure passed on me must necessarily reflect on my brother. She was misunderstood to imply that she had made reflections on them. There is a mass of stories in circulation reflecting upon their conduct. Refrain. — He refrained from passing judgment and from attacking, from lofty motives. I refrained from doing it. The people will refrain from further demon- strations. I refrained from serious notice of it. Refresh. — It aflbrds a refreshing example of his igno- rance. It was positively refreshing to hear him express himself in such an unmistakable tone. Refuse. — This was sternly refused. They resolutely refused to go into detail. Do not think me discourteous (indecorous) in refusing. His speech was important in two points : first, in its definite refusal to concede Home 1 — 228 — ::l Rule, as no one cares for it, except as a step to inde- pendence : this commits the rainisti^y against the scheme that is being urged. In refusing to maKe this concession to public opinion they have assumed a serious responsi- bility. The enterprise fell through owing to his refusal ; but the idea has been revived. Refute. — He refuted with scorn the accusation that insult after insult had been heaped upon his heaH, and effusively declared his loyalty to the constitution. Regain. — To regain consciouKuess. Regard. — The cabinet is regarded as UDstable. It is regarded as a great public necessity. I do not regard it as among the possibilities. His appointment is not re- garded with favor. I regard this matter as one of pres- sing importance. Pay due regard to foreign interests. It is regarded with feelings of displeasure amounting to indignation. I regard it as a little extortionate. I re- gard it ax) absolutely essential to the maintenanci^ of that dignity which should sarround the judicial bench. They regard his condition as serious. I cannot regard it as feasible. You are incapable of enlightening me in this regard. I regard the whole question as one solely of military interest. Inform yourself thoroughly with re- gard to his views. It will be regarded with the utmost disfavor. An erroneous impression has got abroad in regard to it. It is a success as regards numbers. War may be regarded as having begun. The repairs were made in a slipshod sort of way without regard to my directions. Regarding this announcement, a misconcep- tion seems to have been formed by you. I regard trade as highly advantageous to the commonwealth in general. To regard English susceptibility. I do not regard it as suflScient reason for declining. It is regarded with un- friendliness by the presn. I regard your petition as merely an evasion of the case. They passed resolutions regarding his action in the m^itter. The v» xed point regarding incoming street cars has been deciird it I not re- oi pres- interests. mting to be. I re- ce of that .ch. They ;ard it as ae in this solely of V with re- he utmost abroaem, which is destined to accomplish the object which 1 others have failed to attain. I am considering the \ int reserved. 'Vf%4-'\. ■ w -236-^ Wi^'^l!if-'-«-*!T'lB- ''"•^Ni^' ,**'■ Reside. — The building of the better class of residences is goin^ on briskly. liesiet. — They should goto the utmost in resisting the efforts of Home Eule advocates. I carnot resist her attractions. This kind of thing should be sternly resisted. He will resist attempts to put indignities upon him to the death. They have resisted all the influences that have been brought to bear upon them to induce them to do so. Resolve. — The House of Commons resolved itself into a mob. He will probably resolve to remain in harness with occasional intervals of rest until the recess. The question resolves itself into a mere trial of strength. The matter resolves itself into a question of details. They passed resolutions defining their rights. They have resolved upon decided action. They are unani- mous in their resolve to ups^t the government. I did not allow my resolution to cool. They have resolved to practically debar them from partaking of the advan- tages of education. Resort. — To resort to action. You should not resort to this means to deceive us. Make it a popular resort. I did it as a last resort. It is resorted to only in ex- treme cases. He is unable to stand anything in the way of pressure, and the inferior means to which they resort. Physical force was resorted to. A favorite Summer resort. He is resorting to the insanity dodge. If they resort to economy, it v 11 be from necessity rather than choice. I tried coal oil as a last resort. It is the resort of pleasure seekers. A resort to force. Summer resorts where the review was marred by the rain. By resorting to cunning argument he succeeded in diverting attention from himself. Resource. — I did so as a last resource. Its agricul- tural resources are not adequate to their maintenance. His pecuniary resources. Our resources are being used up. Those resources are ample for our demands. Trust in the resources of human nature. Your only resource is to get it done. I had no other resource but to take what offered. They are investigating the resources of the North West. Respect. — They respect only one phase of religious thought. Responsible.— The remark that he would shoulder the i ^-i[ '-■M V'^^^ -»'■*>»• 236 -. responsibility of the success or failure of his visit was greeted with roars of hilarious laughter. The responsi- bility for the disaster would have assumed a very diffe- rent aspect in their eyes. Respond. — I said so in response to her inquiries. Respond to His will. He responded in fitting terms. A special appeal was heartily responded to. In responding, he ^ave a retrospect of the work that had been accom- pli^ed. I responded to the toast. He responded with an expressive gesture of the hand. He has a misconcep tion of his responsibilities. I responded to the call of duty. A just verdict will be the response of the whole civilized world. It sprang into existence in response to a widespread demand. No one wished to shoulder the responsibility of the resolutions. He disclaimed respon- sibility for the act. To transfer and undertake respon- sibilities. Wealth has its responsibilities as well as its powers, and when employed to exact large profits from the pockets of the working classes — laboring classes — it is not employed for the purpose for which it should be. His suggestion will meet with a response from all those who hold the unity of the Empire superior to all other objects. I yearn to have the pleasure of respond- ing to your invitation. Rest — It is worth all the rest many times over. Con- siderable doubt rests upon the precise purport of his statement. You can rest assured on this point. The question rests altogether on that. Restore. — To restore to consciousness. Quiet has been fairly restored. Restrain. — Restrain it within due bounds. Restrain your curiosity. He forcibly restrained me from ringing. Reatrict. — The removal of such restrictions is a tit subject. He permits it under restrictions which prevent its being used as political demonstrations. Legislation should not be restricted to penal measures. As a general rule, conversation at dinner is restricted to those in oui* immediate proximity. There are no restraints to speak of placed upon them. Restrict the scope of the investi- gation within the narrowest possible limits. There is no room for misapprehension as to restricted immigra- tion. It is a mistake to say that the restrictions placed upon him tend to worry him. Result— They are jubilant over the result of his on- , respon- ; respon- il\ as its its from classes— t should from all ior to all respond- )f his on- — 237 — ward march. The elections have resulted heyond our most sanguine calculations. If the disease should get the upper hand of us, the results would he most disas- trous to the city. The wholesale poisoning resulted in six deaths. Prosperity ultimately results from honest dealing. Boycotting is worse than striking in its results. It is not bearing results equal to the amount expended. No damage resulted. Those are questions upon which the result of the elections will throw light. No dan- gerous results are anticipated. It is already fruitful of result. You are liable to a heavy penalty, and, as a re- sult of the present discussion, prosecutions will follow. Their eftbrts have thus far resulted in failure. It has been barren of practical results. His death was the natural result of dissipation. With absolutely success- ful result^'. Yesterday's result was adverse to the French. The election resulted in his favor. The researches re- sulted in a discovery. Summarize the results. That is the bearing on the result. They are very sanguine of the result. The net result of the election is that his in- fluence is sensibly diminished. Who brought that re- sult about ? It is the result of patient labor. Every attempt has resulted in failure. The inevitable result has been that, &c. Judge by results. The vote resulted in a large majority. It probably results from the fact that, &c. A great deal of interest is felt in the result of the vote. It will b^ largely developed and increased as the result of increased facilities. It may yet be pro- ductive of good results. No good can result from it. It has resulted disastrously to the union. The results of ray deliberations. A disastrous fire might have resulted but for his presence of mind. His abdication is expected as the result of his marriage with and subsequent di- vorce from her. His death is the result of suicide caused by the fickleness of his wife. We can scarcely look for better results. The excitement resulting from his defeat has not yet passed away. It is gratifying to know the result. As the result of experiment and practice. A fight will probably result. The result will be beneficial in more ways than one. The periodical strikes that occur do not always result satisfactorily. The result is matter for congratulation. His sleeplessness resulted in mental aberration. Many speculations as to the probable result, are being made. It was momentarily feared it would t- t.M ■) ■ I 4 M — 238 — result in the disruption of the party, u results in this that, &c. His injuries will in all probability i%sult fatally. The accidental thing about it was the fact that the collision did not result in loss of life. A struggle, which eventually resulted in a fight, took place. He is serving three months as the result of his dishonesty. The case went before the Police Court with the result that his would be friends were soon languishing behind the prison bars. A sad accident resulting in the death of a man. It came very near having fatal consequences, and may yet result so. Report the result. The ditfe- rence shown probably results from the fact that, &c. It may result in disaster. Great injury would result from it. The advantages resulting from it are not confined to any particular class of society. One consolation is that they have no ultimate result. If that is the result of their diagnosis of public sentiment, well and good. The subjoined report will have the desired result. The loss of time resulting from writing large. The facts resulting from it are too apparent to be wholly ignored. As the result of past experience. Th sre is a good deal of speculation as to the result of the series of matches. Such a result is worth working for. Other advantages will result. The result of the investigation was an honorable acquittal. Search was made, but without re- sult. Agitation would result disastrously to the welfare of the nation. The wild speculation in grain is bound to result in a crash or disaster. Its study often results in failure and utter despair. The talk of a settlement has not had any practical result. It is bearing no results. To arrive at a result. It resulted in bringing the ques- tion of marriage to a stand still. There is no harm likely to result from it. His illness was never made known to her for fear of serious results. Nervously jerking off single words, or hesitation in writing, is the result of insufficient practice. Upon the whole, the re- sults are satisfactory. The debate resulted in a decision to that effect. Another result will be to, &c. The re- sult speaks for itself ; and he is afraid to disclose his name. Judgment by results is commonly the judgment of the world. A row was the result. The squabble bids fair to result in his losing his head. The result of the election was the theme of every conversation. It is not favorable to good results.

The restwstions of our Code are antiquated and unsuited to modern methods of life: It is absurd to say that such disability exists in Canada. As a result of my researches and studies, I published a book. A subse- quent attempt was made, but with like results. It eventually resulted in a transference of his power to his son. They have to thank their genius for the admi- rable results they have arrived at. The result was very much as I had anticipated. He will comment editorially upon the result. A cold outlook as the result of his wayward course. That it will result in the fusing of the people with American democracy ample proof has already been given. The riot resulted in an indictment in which there are three counts (charges), and it has inspired them with new vigor. The intensity of the depression which prevails in the carpet making trade has resulted in a concerted effort by the men to devise means of relief. Acting on these complaints, the police made a raid with satisfactory reisults, upon a friend of his and a kindred spirit. Its results are far reaching, and dyspepsia in its worst form will yield to it. Aided by the potent power of steam, the expedition will lead to important results. The Herald is exultant at the result. Results tell. The miscionaries deserve prece- dence as a civilizing factor; and the sums expended are out of proportion to the results achieved. A case of vitriol throwing with horrible results, and with jealousy as the probable motive, which came to our notice, is ahrouded in considerable mystery. Search was made for him sometime afterward, but without result. His pecuniary success in life is the result exclusively of his lectures. There are two ways of doing it with different results. They are anxiously wai»ching the results. Reautne. — He has resumed business on an extended scale. Consideration of the bill has been resumed. To resume operations. After an intermission of some minutes, they resun.ed their places. To resume nego- jtiations. He resumed his labors under circumstances proving most favorable to its accomplishment. They nave resumed their studies under enlarged facilities. To resume duties. When the court resumed its session. Only for the presence of a few more soldiers than are [ordinarily seen, the city has resumed its wonted aspect. ■ !^ i4 .V'i CT ^ tH — 240 i.v. .^1 l'-f.i' *■ I: Id Retain. — It is of the first importanclilttiat retain our rights. He has succeeded in retaimHiiine nourishment he partook of yesterday. He made a ipong argument in favor of retaining him. To retain posses- sion. I am responsible for his retention in ofllce. It is imperative to her prosperity that she should retain pos- session of it. The obligation he is under to retain in his mind the lant sentence of the speaker must be highly beneficial to that faculty He retains his fullest confi- dence. He stands alone on the question of retaining the leadership. Retard. — It retards business and the date of the meet- ing. Its growth, so sensibly retarded by that cause, is to be contemplated with satisfaction. Reticent. — He is very reticent upon the subject and about that afiair. Retire. — It had been expected that he would have had to retire. He gives a new and startling phase to the secret history of his retirement by stating, as a positive fact, that my mind was prejudiced by enemies who influenced me to believe so. Retort. — He retorted that he had been unable to gather that from his previous speeches. He retorted that on those matters he was well qualified to give an intelligent opinion. He retorted in a speech of youth- ful fire. Retract. — I demand that he make retraction of his words. Retreat. — He belabored me with a stick to such an extent that I had no alternative but to retreat out of the house. Reveal.-T-lt is a case of assault that revealed quite a little domestic episode. An investigation into its affairs has revealed an extraordinary state of affairs. The evidence revealed great dissatisfaction. A searching analysis revealed the fact that, &c. The question which has been brought up, reveals the fact that, &c. The story of the swindle, as told by those who are in a position to know, reveals a daring plot to swindle, and a gullibility on the part of those swindled which have rarely been rivalled in late years. As briefly notice«l in my editorial, it reveals an instance of vindictive hate. The safe, when opened, revealed all papers intact. A thorough examination .J^'- ),%_ Mj^^ ong posses- e.

The story reveals a shocking phase of human depravity, and a great lack of humanity. Inquiry into the municipal finances of Rome reveals a state of bank- ruptcy, and numberless failures are anticipated. Fur- ther examination of the body revealed a long incision extending downward. He revealed the character of his mission after indelicately starting a discussion about his culpability. Reverse. — The main entrance is round, whereas, the arrangement in ours is the reverse of this. Judgment has been reversed. He may through reverse of fortune have to earn a living. Those responsible for the reverses are being degraded. The facts are exactly the reverse. It is a bright picture, but there is a reverse to it. Busi- ness reverses were the cause. A reverse for the govern- ment. Ireland is the reverse of flourishing. He refused to recede from his determination ; but he yielded the point and reversed his decision to allow the room to be filled to the utmost capacity. Revert. — It makes me shudder whenever my mind reverts to it. Review. — Let us review the whole case or situation. He reviewed the work done by the committee, the work of the week. He reviewed her career. The book re- views the question in relation to health. Revive. — There is a revival of the rumour. The thing is being revived. His success has revived their courage. The question will be revived. Th are is a great business revival. There has been a revival of uneasiness. Con- fidence is reviving. The panic and war rumours are being revived. Out of this naturally springs the ru- mour that his suit for her hand will be revived. ' ^^ Revolt. — A revolting crime. Humanity revolts at such a state of things. Revolutionize shorthand. The time is ripe for revolution. Revulsion. — It shows a revulsion of popular feeling in his favor. A feeling of revulsion and disgust. . Reward. — His industry has been rewarded by an ex- cellent farm. -^;;v;,''^^r«",^-,r - ^- ','^}}S' ■''-'- -'^^ Rid. — He is very unpopular, and they make no se- cret of their desire to get rid of him. His illness is merely a subterfuge to get rid of him. Rise up and rid I yourself of it with one gigantic effort. 16 :* i — 843 — i-i: RidictUe. — He has done much to brin^Plnto He ridiculed the idea of its existence. The baby in science would ridicule the cool assumptij|^of such a theory as fact. In political life nothing kills like ridicule. It is at once odious and ridiculous. They ridicule the idea that he will not accept any conciliatory overtures unless backed by solid concessions. It is only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous. He fled the country, and those who had patronized his place were held up to public ridicule. Rife. — The city is rife with rumors that, &c. The spirit of speculation is rife. Speculation is rife as to his movements. The rumors which were rife in London clubs give color to the duel theory. Grime of every kind is rife in Texas. All sorts of surmises are rife as to its object. Rigid.— 'The rules are rigidly adhered to. Consider- ing the magnitude of their efforts, and the rigid enforce- ment of the law. He will, I opine, adhere rigidly to his policy. You have an undoubted right, which nobody disputes, to use it. ttight — A mingled feeling of righteous wrath and deep sympathy bred in the human breast. Riot. — There is rioting a.s the result of his resigna- tion. They are dead against rioting. Do not engage in riotous demonstrations. Rise. — My megatherium intellect rose up to the emer- gency. He rose superior to the crisis. They marched with decorum rising to dignity. The rising is quelled. The excitement rose to fever pitch. You cannot rise to a question of privilege without being in possession of some tangible evidence. It has given rise to another debate. The struggling reporter rose to eminence in his profeasion. I rose to the occasion. They rise steeply out of the sea culminating in the island of Mah^. Con- stipation gives rise to many grave troubles. She con- ferred her hand on a man whose behaviour has given rise to much scandal. What gave rise to the rumour was the collapse of the wall of its own sweet will. Risk. — At the risk of being accused of impugning their motives. A piano is a risky thing to buy at an auction sale, as it is sometimes doctored up for the occa- sion. ^ivo^.— There is no reason why the riyalry should be _ S48 — . The e as to Ijondon every rife as jnsider- Bnforce- y to his nobody atb and resigna- t engage he emer- marched quelled, ot rise to lession of another inence in }e steeply 16. Con- She con- as given rumour ■iriU. pugning uy at an the occa- shouldbe angr other thtih a friendly one. There is a growing eooiity between the rival political parties, and the feeling h becoming still more pronounced. They are anything but warm friends, and political rivalry has something to do with it. Rob. — It robs life of nine-tenths of its joy. Roll. — He played a pitiful roll, but elicited little sym- pathy, and bore the air of a disappointed man after pre- facing his questions with a statement. Rough. — That he is rough is indisputable. Round. — They are doing the rounds of fashionable boarding houses, and I attribute the trouble to that. It is going the round of the papers. His daily round of pleasures. Rouse. — They gave him a rous* ^g ovation on taking his tinal leave. Popular superstition is not a difficult thing to rouse. To rouse ire. Rub. — That is rubbing it in (flattery). Rue. — You will rue it yet. Ruin. — Ruinously low rates. Ride. — Rule yourself; and, instead of difficulties thick- ening as you proceed the way will become more easy, and you will acquire a habit invaluable to you as a reporter. He is restrained by the remembrance that, even under such circumstances, prison rules would not relax — then he calmed down and talked the matter over rationally. Rumour. — There is not a particle of truth in the ru- mour. An unfounded rumour. It is rumoured in legal circles that further developments are expected in con- nection with his arrest. I cannot understand how those absurd rumours have gone abroad. An unconfirmed ru- mour. The air is thick with rumours. The rumour has no foundation. The celebration of Christmas dar- kened by rumours of an approaching conflict. Rumours to the effect that he had been injured appear to have gained currency. There is a rumour Sfoing the rounds of the papers to that effect. The sensation of the mor- ning has been magnifled to an intense degree by another rumour. Disquieting rumocirs are said to be stirrinji^ here. The rymour got current, by w^hat meatks cannot be found out, that he is dead. Rumours of a riot are floating about. Rumotir has it that he had the itamina to appear on the platform, and this pui the dimax to H'*^! '!;*•'' '*! I'! : m f ■■fc 'ih: ill/ T'' '■'. ■'■l.. i I ■ -'v.: fi — 244 — the feeling. The political atmosphere is thick witl^ |a- mours of a huge scandal now said to be in courtje of development, and which is to be hurled with telling force at the government during the electoral campaign. Rush. — They rushed to the scene of action, and then went their several ways. Rumpus. — There is a rumpus in the cabinet. There is a "umpus between them. He kicked up a rumpus. Run. — The paper is running a race for Empire. That is the general run of public thought. Public opinion is running high in Quebec. A hum of interest ran along the gallery. You have run the gauntlet of satyr and contempt. The paper is to be run on purely democratic lines. He was run down and arrested. Rupture. — There is a rupture imminent. Savrijlce. — They sacrifice their daughters to men of loose and questionable morality. Sacrifice your time and energies for the benefit of the public. Do not sac- rifice dignity to the desire of being funny. Do not sacrifice your rights to party exigencies. They sacrificed a little personal comfort to the hope of seeing the cham- pions defeated : nor did the weather have a depressing influence on them. Sad. — I was profoundly saddened by his aspect. Saddle. — You should not saddle the blame upon me. To saddle the country with such a charge is a bluff of the first water. Safe. — The fact that a ship careens does not detract from its safety. It would probably be safe to say that every actual murder represents a score of possible ones. Sameness. — Delicacy of features with a sameness of expreSv<»ion. I am in the same plight or dilemma. Sample. — The above are a few samples of the suffer- ings which are being endured. Sanction. — The cabinet cannot sanction such claims without compromising its existence. The remedy that the law sanctions. Sap. — Dissipation has completely sapped his vitality. Satisfy. — It is no small satisfaction to know it. The only way to do it satisfactorily is to do it thoroughly. I am satisfied that there is no justification for tnis view, and it would be an unfortunate circumstance if it were true. I am satisfied he did not deliberately misrepresent me. To satisfy the requirements of the. law. In a satis- itbjra- iFiie of telling npaign. ad then There mpuH. •e. That opinion an along ttyr an * a cent. In this scheme we should have the tide with us. So gigantic a scheme needed well to be kept under cover, he went on (continued). Science. — He stood high in the scientific and literary worlds. Scope. — His intelligence has not scope enough. Give I free scope to your talents. Limit the scope of the inves- l tigation, commission, &c. To intensify the severity of { his edint, and widen its scope. Sco . — He is attempting to score a point by playing the demagogue. Both have scored success-victory-ad- vantages. On this score they had no ground of com- ^ plaint, especially so, considering the circumstances. Scout. — He scouted the idea that he was insane. They : i^ scouted his demands as unworthy of consideration. ■ Scoundrel. — This town is the asylum of a clever young scoundrel. Screen. — He makes his blindness a screen for vice. Scrutiny. — They asked for the fullest scrutiny into his conduct. He was the target for thousands of eyes, and bore the scrutiny with the most perfect coolness. Season. — The season of dancing is up on us. If season- ably taken, the medicine will act as a specific. Second. — I cordially second your views. A secon- 1 dary consideration. I will second your efforts to save th« place from disaster. Its use is seconded by various — 247 — '•^t^gm^Sf 3f the f con- ^e was ;ene of was an atality. ne was yn^ and it in the I sides, a p policy. - The jy curi- funeral I are cures even the ►rk worth e with us. ider cover, id literary gh.

Secure. — Not till thefifth time did they wake up to the situation, and play with a vim and a determination that would have secured for them the prize had not darkness intervened. Organization is the principal thing ne- cessary to secure success. There is a continued rivalry to secure results which can only be properly reached by moral suasion. No ojpen steps were taken to secure for him the position of king. He secured an extension of the time. Under any circumstances, the bank is secured from loss. Secure his influence and services. It will be a powerful aid in securing it. Do not yield to them on any point without securing real and adequate con- cessions. No pains have been spared to secure (obtain) its accuracy. They find themselves hampered in their efforts to secure clemency by these evil reports, which they boldly denounce as pure fabrications got up by in- terested officers for the purpose of influencing him to withhold pardons. See. — You see things in, another light than I do. When will they see the futility of acting so. He saw things for himself. They see truth in dinerent aspects. Seek. — The explanation is not far to seek. They seek to connect his arrest with it. He« has been obliged, through broken health, to seek recuperation in some genial clime. I accept your disclaimer of having sought to interfere in politics ; but the exigencies of the cam- paign are paramount. Seem. — It seems to be part of the natural order of things that they should never get what they want. The idea is entirely feasible. There seems a likelihood o'l their closing early. He seems to have weathered the storm. My differences with you seem to be on points of detail. The proposition seems a commendable one. His course, in reference to the troubles, seems to have their unqualified support. It seems to be a settled thing that, &;c. It is seemingly in a fair way of settle- ment. The interest in the case seems to have abated. It seems hard he shouldhave to bear all the responsibility of failure. He is in great mental strain. The sensible course seems to be to make terms with him. He seems intolerant to the utmost verge of the word's meaning. He seemed the quintescence of coolness as he proceeded i ^248 t^-: !" cM with his speech, alternately following his line of argu- ment or parrying thrusts trom eithei side of the House, and talked to the point from the outset, although many gained the impression that there was a trace of animus in his declaration regarding the dangers incurred in per- petuating two official languages. It seems more in keeping with the proper order of things that his suc- cessor should be French. Seethe. — The city is seething with excitement. Seize. — They seize every opportunity that presents itself to say what they can in disparagement of your country. He was seized with cholera symptoms and forthwith isolated. Sell. — They have sjld themselves body and soul. SemblaThce. — That there may be no misapprehension as to their nature we will free them from every sem- blance of exaggeration. Sensation. — Quebec has had a genuine sensation to- day. Sensational revelations are expected. It is the reigning sensation. His sudden exit from the scene here was the sensation of the hour. The outcry about his health is idle sensation. A play full of sensational scenes and incidents. Boston has a sensation in the shape of a duel. Sense. — He has average common sense. I am sensi- tive, morbidly so. Sequence. — They believe that as a logical sequence of Heme Rule. Series. — A series of suits to be instituted. Gross irregularities have been going on for a long series of years. The day was marked by a series of fatalities. A series of thefts. Sequel. — The wild rush to Manitoba has its sequel in tbe appeals for aid now being made. Serious. — It is the most serious crime known to the law. His countenance wore a look of serious dignity while signifying his feelings. It is a matter of com- mon gossip that he is seriously considering the step of resigning. Serve. — It would not serve your interests. Disorders would only serve as an excjise for refusing it. Wiggins serves a purpose. The incident may at least serve the timely purpose of directing public attention to the serious defect in the laws. It is serving as food for con- "■^ .'^u^^l^^'f' *•'%■? ^ 249 — .-.^- tion to- b is the le scene •y about isational I in the Gross series of "atalities. sec_ Iwrn to the dignity of com- ■le step of Disorders Wiggins serve the ,n to the d for con- versation in various circles. It would only serve to prolong the present state of things. It is exceedingly serviceable to me. In doing so he has no personal end to serve. Their one jidedness will not serve them. That is the only purpose it can serve. It would not serve the cause of peace. The imputation of ill-nature serves the ends and does the work of envy. It has served its purpose. Nothing has served to show the lax way in which the law is administered so much as your case. My money is at your service. Set — His coming visit sets all rules at defiance. The findings of the commission ought to be set at nought. They set both law and authority at defiance, and act in open disregard of public safety. His authority has been set at nought. He sets his heart upon a numerous train of servants and other gay appendages of greatness. We are not prepared to set aside those well established rules. The first I met after setting foot in Paris gave a few of the experiences upon which it is based. Settle. — The point is ultimately settled. It is consi- dered a settled matter. Nature amicably settled the question, and propitiously scattered the clouds. In order to settle the question of his identity. Darkness is sett- ling over us. The points of difference have been settled by mutual concessions. He is the stumbling block in the way of a settlement. There are impediments in the way of a settlement. Sever. — They have severed their dependence on the government. Race and religious prejudice have severed party bonds. He has severed his connexion with the choir. The severance of the two parties. Severe. — The severity of his case would have unnerved a police captain. Shade. — Liberals of all shades of opinions are united upon the general principles of the necessity of doing away with this obstruction. The men are all shades of politics. This picture, though darkly shaded, is not far from the truth. Shadow. — There is not a shadow of doubt about his guilt. Shake. — It has shaken public faith in its efficacy. He shook his sides with laughter. His deposition was not shaken in a single point. Shape. — To shape public opinion. Those who shape ■I .1 ' ' I ■.V,:' ';r-i'J?-ai 250 — I. 'i '¥'■' hi w the destinies of the country. Premonitions of approach- ing danger in the shape of lassitude. Let that shape your action. The nuisance should be stamped out, and things kept in better shape. Sha/re. — This carnival is going to share the same fate. My correspondence demands a good share of my time. Sharp. — His wits have been sharpened. It brought down a sharp rejoinder from him. He is a sharp fea- tured man of uncertain age. Shear. — The resolutions are shorn of a good deal that is objectionable. Shirk. — To shirk liabilities. Shock. — Incidents of the shock. Short. — Nothing short of that will be saie. Shout. — The crowd was wild with enthusiasm, and fairly shouted itself hoarse. Show. — There is an unexpected change in the situa- tion, as shown by the returno thus far received. Show your disapprobation of it. It has been denied with a great show of authority. She has shown great aptitude for music. If anything were needed to show the uncer- tainty of the game, this season's play would be ample evidence. It is worthy of record, and a fact showing the utmost confidence in the substantial character of the suit. They showed the utmost anxiety. It shows their strong partisan character. It is only an outward show of prosperity. They showed lack of practice. It shows the versatility of his mind. It shows a lamentable state of discipline, ^^ports show the condition of affairs steadily improving. I have shown beyond the possi- bility of doubt that, &c. Experience has abundantly shown the truth of it. It can be demonstratively shown that they fall considerably short of it. The mildness of the season is shown — if evidence were wanted — by the fact that men are sporting white hats. That charge would have some foundation if it could be shown that, &c. The tension between them shows symptoms of re- laxing. She showed a decided liking for him. The breach shows no signs of healing. Their role just now is to show us no quarter ; that is, oratorically. They show much intolerance towards a system in which they pro- fess to recognize no successful rival. He has shown no intention of coming out. The liberals did not show fight, i and the matter went to a vote. He is not the type of I 251 ihe situa- >d.

The le just now They show they pro- fs shown no show fight, ihe type of! man to show the white feather. Even if he were, the present would be a very inopportune time to show it. He advanced authorities to show that there is a glut of women in the market. He braved death without show- ing any signs of trepidation. This impassive attitude of getting through the crisis of our lives in dumb show is, some think, the best thing about us. Shrink. — He shrinks from the possibility of the dis- memberment of his family. To shrink from conse- quences. Shroud. — It is shrouded in mystery. His movements and doings are shrouded in mystery. Sick. — Sickness is on the increase. Shun. — Shun hasty conclusions. Sight. — When first sighted the serpent was asleep. Side. — In the teeth of such powerful persuasion, the students threw their ma'^ter overboard, and sided with their mates. Sign. — If they howled, it was a clear sign that their toes were being trod upon. Signify. — His undue haste latterly to pay up for old scores is surely not without significance. A significant sign was his presence. The most serious significance is laid on the fact emphasized by the press that he clearly regards himself as isolated. He has signified his inten- tion of being present. The incident was significant in this particular sense. It is significant that it has kept up the death rate. It is not without significance that, &c. It has a wider significance than that. It is signi- ficant that he should have noticed it. Your talk with him is likely to have additional significance. Avocation has a widci/ varying significance. Most significant, however, is the fact that, &c. This is a significant u*^,erance, and does not bode well for his tenure of pc v^ei. The attempt to show he was a drunkard sig- nal ' failed. He has signified his willingness to do so. Various views on, the significance of the election. I signified my approval and appreciation of it by a loud laugh. There is point in his remark to his hearers that it is an event of deep significance. That does not signify, there being no special provision made to meet the case. They attach political significance to the bestowal of the honor upon him.

Silence presumption by a glance. Silence is the virtue of the feeble. On this occasion solemn silence prevailed. His oration was a dismal failure being received in cold silence. Silver. — His hair is being silvered by the touch of time. Similar. — It will be after the manner of similar institutions. Simulate. — Excitement is largely simulated for poli- tical effect. To simulate indifference. He is simulating the part of a fool. Simple. — I have not done it simply because neither competition nor other circumstances have ever called for it. Singular. — Singularly stupid. It would go far to simplify duty. It is a singular fact that, &c. It is simply inconceivable. His modus operandi for de- frauding was simply to, &c. It is a singular but undeniable fact that, &c. Sink. — It sinks into utter insignficance compared with it. Sink all minor disputes. He is sinking. Sinister ends or designs. Situate. — The radicals rather enjoy the situation. The worst interpretation is given to the situation by the " Post " in those times of crisis. War would be the logical development of such a situation. The situation, as it stands, is just this : The situation, as respects foreign trade, has appreciably improved. It shows the true situation of affairs. The situation is reassuring. His sad state adds to the uneasiness of the situation. The situation, as regards the playing of the match, is un- changed. His resignation from office is the key to the situation. That is the situation in a nutshell. A com- plex situation as the result of issues that excite feeling on the eve of an election. Slave. — A slave to drink. * Slight. — He is piqued at a supposed slight. Slim. — Very slim chances. Slip. — Measures of a doubtful character are allowed to slip through. Slipping with his tongue he unwit- tingly told the truth. , , Smxick. — This smacks of despotism. ^ :^*:v ^ 263 — )i rival ore the mby a 3n this 1 was a iouch of similar for poli- ottulating e neither er called ro far to &c.

Snatch. — To snatch from the jaws of death. Solid. — Nothing equals it, we depend only on solid facts. Solve. — Time will solve this question like many others. What a singular mode of solving so grave a difficulty. That is the only solution of the difficulty. I saw in the discovery a solution of the mystery. After considerable cogitation the problem was solved. What the change should be is a problem difficult to solve. I have just solved a knotty point. His views on the solution of the Irish problem are wise and feasible. Social. — He got into sociable conversation with a brother whip (driver) ; but we do not know whether the story belongs to the domain of fact or fiction. Soften the asperity of your offensive speech, and I will shield you from his wrath. Something. — There is an indescribable something of the priest about him. He silenced her with a single glance. Its general appearance is something between the two. Sombre. — The sombre cast of the interior of the castle is not calculated to dissipate sadness. Somewhat. — The modus operandi is somewhat as fol- lows. It is somewhat more than a year. Somewhat I otherwise is it with me. Sore disappointment. Sold. — The aroma is the soul of the tea. Sound. — I sounded him on the subject of a compro- imise. This sounds revolutionary. Railroad travel here is somewhat behind the age. He has been sounded as to his willingness to go. No words can be too eloquent to sound their praises for their devotion to this labor of love. This sounds as if I v/ere travelling like a second I Jay Gould. Source. — It is a great source of consolation to me. iFrom a reliable source it is learned, the object of the [visit is to have their position defined. From what source jdoes the objection come. That is the source from which the information is derived. Music is an unfailing source 3f entertainment. From a well informed source, the information is given that he is in a better frame of mind. :i {< I li r ■ 'M* I !■ \t"-U 254 — ■ ? ' ■A- Study is a source of pleasure and delight. It is a source of strength to me. B'rom other sources it is learned that. &c. Our first essential duty is to increase our population, and that may be done through three sourcen. Labor cannot be wholly supplied from native sources : we must resort to foreign sources. His illness is a source of great anxiety to us. It is a constant sou ice of annoyance to tourists who visit Boston. It is a source of regret to all friends of order. The principal source of the trouble seemed to be insecurity of tenure. The new line is already proving a source of competition to the Grand Trunk. Of inspection, for the purposes of tracing disease to its source, there is practically none. Humours from a very trustworthy source. It is a fruit- ful source of disease. My information is from reliable sources. The main sources of diptheria and typhoid are the contamination of food and water by imperfect drai- nage and the lack of thorough ventilation. The poison, once generated, seems capable of being carried through the air for miles and of remaining dormant for weeks. It is a great source of satisfaction to me. I hope to hear from «ome prominent source concerning this question. I have trustworthy sources of information. I am pro- mis^id assistance from numerous sources. The rumour can be traced to no source. Attempts at violence from outside .sources. I have it from a trustworthy source. The procession is a great source of evil. It is a source of useless expense at present, and an element of danger for the future. It is a source of considerable revenue to him. It is a source of much amusement to me. In- temperance is a fruitful source of crime. To soothe offended dignity and pander to hostility. They went through sundry evolutions in a manner that indicated I that even sheep are capable of instruction ; and it was a source of satisfaction to the assembly. It i.s the acme of absurdity to say that bathing is reckoned the only source of revenue of its actual population of 2,000. He aroused my suspicions while unfolding the sources of his information, and that is the basis upon which my] suspicions are grounded. Sow. — To sow broadcast a new and plentiful crop of | angry passions.

The fact that there are so mi.ny banks in a prosperous condition speaks much for the character of the business. It is high time that some one should speak out. Special. — Specially good was his singing of Lilly Dale. These facts are specially applicable to Canada. He died of no special disea.se, but succumbed to old age amid tremendous excitement. Specify. — I met a party of congenial politicians on a certain specified day. Spare. — Spare my susceptibilities. Species. — If we look abroad upon the great multitude of mankind it will seem highly probable that ambition runs through the whole species. Spectacle. — The procession was a brilli«,nt spectacle. Spectator. — I was an unbiassed spectator. Speech. — A disappointing speech. He has been freely rapped over the knuckles for his speech. Speculate. — Speculations in regard to the motive for the appointment are as thick as blackberries. Spend. — He is spending the evening of his life with his children. A most enjoyable time was spent. That is how I spent all my leisure moments, improving my time. When the swell of enthusiasm, which carries everything before it, has spent itself. There are specu- lations as to his successor. He spent yesterday in making defamatory aspersions of the grossest kind. I shall not spend my time in superfluous commendations of a book 80 favorably known. Speed. — He was courting death while the train was coming at the usual, but not immoderate speed. The horses sped down the wharf at a breakneck pace. Sphere. — It isan imperative duty, incumbent upon each one in his own sphere, to aid in the work of charity. In i the limited sphere of my labors. Spirit. — A spirited debate. There are no nooks and corners of the States that have not been illuminated by the spirit of the age. Spread. — It spread in an incredibly short space of time to the adjoining buildings. We have among us the spread of moral and social evils. Squabble. — 1 leave that for others to squabble over. Squelch. — It will squelch their hopes. i'-i f' «i 1^^ ~ 256 — ; t ,/ Stage. — All the world is a stage. Cholera in its worst stages. At this stage an arrangement was made. They will contest the bill at every stage. The stages of its deadly progress were easily opened, and the sight was sickening. Stake. — You should not stake your future on the re- sult. The enormous interests at stake. Stalk. — Pestilence is stalking in our midst. Sta'^.p. — The disease should be stamped out of exis- tence. Stampede. — A stampede was made for the door. Stand. — They are so anxious of each other's prosperity that they will not stand together when a Frenchman's advancement is at stake. They are resolved to make a firm stand and face the consequences. It has stood the test of criticism, scrutiny and investigation. It res- tores him to his full standing as a clergyman. He will take an independent stand. You look at it from your own standpoint. He stands high in my estimation. I will not stand any interference. He is unable to stand anything in the way of pressure, and the unfair means to which they resort. Now let us see clearly how the matter stands. It has stood the test of time and the trials of persecution. Take a broad stand. I am not cognizant of the relations in which they stand with each other. He takes a pronounced but disinterested stand in politics. Thus the affair stands at present. The evo- lution theory will stand or fall on its own merits. They should make a stand against it. There is consi- derable stir over the firm stand taken by him. I am determined to stand or fall by his decision. Fcx' sim- plicity and clearness it stands alone. It stands at the head. The matter stood over. He took no stand for or against the charge. To transgress standing rules. It would be idle to say that he stands head and shoulders over him in ability. His goods have become a standard of excellence. They are well to do in this world's goods, and btand high in the community, with susceptible hearts. Standing. — He gave convincing reasons for it from his own personal knowledge of his standing. Standard. — A high standard of integrity. He is standing on trial. r< either he nor aught else can stand the scrutinizing gaze of an over exacting public. The players are up to their usual standard.

The a standing rule of the council that no strangers are to be present during the reading of the minutes ; but, yesterday, during that interesting proceeding, the mayor seemed apparently oblivious of the crowds that thnmged around mm. The bear stood aggressively awaiting us. Stare. — Though I stared fixedly at the printed page, my mind was miles away from the girl whom I was fated never to see. Start. — They divided into two factions, and started a lively row. A revolutionary agitation has been started. At the start, they made a vigorous onslaught on their goal. We started simultaneously. He started off with the a«*sertion, &c. I started out early. The rumour was started as a huge joke. He was unsociable and unpopular from the start. A startling state of affairs. The cry of " question " was started. Starve. — Working at starvation prices. State. — As before stated, I extended my vision north- wards, and saw something that would benefit business. The House is in a continual state of ferment. State your position in the matter. There having been reports of possible trouble, I wish it stated that the precautions taken to enforce the law will render the consequences of disorder serious. Incredible as the statement may seem. The market has been in a somewhat excited state, the gravity of the European crisis being the chief factor. It is stated on excellent authority that, &c. He^ stated the facts as narrated above. The most recent, reports state that, &c. In quarters likely to be well informed, the opinion is plainly stated that the mischief' arising from insolvency will, by the Fall, be likely to have acquired grave proportions. It is in a state of semi-conflict with the ministry. State distinctly the objects at which you aim. There is ground for stating so. In a pitiable state of intoxication. It is semi-offi- eially stated that there is great tension in their relations. It can be authoritatively stated that the matter of free admission was not agreed upon, nor was a final definite position taken upon any point of the coming negotiations in the cas3 submitted. State precisely what the question Whenever such a state of affairs exists it is plainly ^4^ their fault. It is pretty freely stated that it rests entirely with himself. This statement he denies — further than that, he says he gave her money to take her to. . 17 258 — Paris. I have had frequent occasions to deplore this state of things. The people were thrown into a state of intense excitement. I can confidently state, looking to the general progress made by them, that such results could not otherwise be accomplished. There is no talk of contesting the seat, and it is currently stated that no proceedings will be taken in this connection. A long life is not reconcilable with the present state of the world. In a state of mental despondency from unre- ?[uited love. As time wore on, and no statement was orthcoming, he, &c. It is reliably stated that the result of the interview has not tran.spired. Such a statement, though reiterated with obstinate persistency, practically amounts to nothing. The driver being brought to a stand, stated that his mission had an official character or support. You are misinformed in your statement that, &c. He admitted the facts of the case, as stated above. A letter endorsing my statements. You will pardon my saying that I am not concerned to admit or deny your statement. That is the state of affairs he disclosed This extreme state of things will be fraught with loss jf seats to the refractory majority. It is hard to imagine a more serious state of things in men being unable to be brought to recognize the sacredness of such trust. It is relapsing into the old state of things, it is .said, but the rumour has no basiy. A man with a strong Hibernian brogue stated his utter inability to pay. The droppings of birds and other refuse are conditions which would produce the state of things found. Station. — Peopleof prominence and note were stationed at various places along the route. Status. — The wild menaces of the London press, though of a certain official status, are of small account. Stay. — What vain efforts to stay the pestilence. It is the only measure likely to stay its progress in the present emergency. I was nothing loth to stay away. Steady. — It disagrees with his digestion to see it steadily gaining ground. His mania steadily is that he is a goat. There is hope in the steady lowering of the temperature. Stench. — An unbearable stench. ' - Step. — This latter step on the part of the government is momentarily expected. He has greatly aged ; and vigorous steps are suggested in view of the confusion ^ 259 e this Ate of ing to results lo talk hat no A long of the 1 unre- jnt was Q result .tement, ictically ht to a haracter iatenient IS stated ^ou will admit or affairs he e fraught It is hard nen being jss of such (ings, it is 1 a strong Y to pay. conditions I. ! stationed iss, though |nce. It is »sa in the ly away, to see it is that he ling of the government •. and confusion caused. They have taken steps in connection with it. He has stepped out of the limits of his official position. I consider it an almost unprecedented step on his part. Translation goes one step beyond phrasemaking, and has an advantage even over nature's method in some degree. Stick. — I will stick obstinately to my version of the matter. Stimulate. — Stimulate the efforts of press men (re- porters) even though a^fgressive. Its frequent appear- ance Miould stimulate them to inquire into its nature. The appreciation of his friends seemed to stimulate his fancy. Gin stimulates the appetite. Stir. — It is only those that are making any thing like a stir in the matter. The heart of the nation is stirred by his perilous situation. A stirring address. He stirred human nature to its depths Matters quieted down, but were stirred up lately. His impassioned speech stirred all present. Stop. — They do not stop for a moment to think what his political creed is. It stops business to an extent. They have definitely put a stop to it. Storm. — A death-dealing storm. He branded him as a liar, and a stormy scene followed. Store. — The dusty precincts of a store room. Story. — Innumerable are the stories told of him. That is your side of th • .story. He told a plain, unvarnished story of his sufferings. Straighten. — He is straitened in circumstances. They are endeavoring to straighten out the more than muddled condition of things. Strain. — He followed the speaker in the same strain. He spoke in a .similar strain to his leader. The report is confirmed that their relations are strained. His health has been severely tried by the intense strain to which he voluntarily subjected himself by overwork. They continue in this strain until they are in a state of ec- stasy. He is on very strained terms with her. He spoke in the same strain. Bngli.sh feeling is strained towards Russia. The number of men who write in this strain are steadily on the increase. He went on further in this strain. To strain .statements. Strain every muscle. There is some strained feeling between the races. The strain is great upon their finances. Dancing was begun to the strains of irresistible music. There was more said in the same strain. 1 'f ~ 260 — i^ f t Strait. — The rumour got out that we were in financial straits. France is in a desperate strait, and its downfall is imminent. Strengthen. — The reports of his condition strengthen the belief long prevalent that thr re is no possibility of his recovery as advices implied. Strenuous. — Strenuous exertions. >iotwithstanding his strenuous objections. Streaa, — The stress of the trouble falls upon the brain. Stretch. — It is a gross stretch of privileges. It can with a stretch of courtesy be called so. It is beyond the limits of vision. While stretched upon a hammock enjoying the idle sensuous life they lead here. Strict. — They are bitter in their strictures on the order to return to work. He gave him strictly to under- stand 80. It is not strictly within the bounds of eti- quette. Although a strict blue ribbon man, he drank the wine given him by the celebrities of Paris. Stride. — It is making rapid strides. Our cause and our country have made great strides. Strife. — Party strife has become very virulent. Srike. — He struck me as a fluent speaker. A striking feature. That is the first thing which strikes one as curious. To strike for higher wages is every man's right, but it may be every man's misfortune. She is grief stricken. It strikes me as strange that he should prefer to suit himself. Consistent with inde- pendence in these matters. Her appearance struck me forcibly. I am struck by the smallness of the propor- tion. A striking departure from the usages of friendly States. His efforts to make the strike general have thus far met with small success. The strike is no nearer an end than it was. The strikers are gaining ground. I am struck with the fact that, on every important event of my life, he, &c. You should keep in mind the fact of their endeavouring to work up a strike. Stringent- -Its provisions are stringent. Stringent orders. He is taking stringent precautions to prevent the disease spreading. Strive. — He is vainly striving to do it. It is the means and not the end we are striving for. He strove to show that in the event of his deciding to quit London. &;c. Strong. — The lines of the face are strong and harsh. His denouncing it in strong language is of daily occur- rence. This fact adds strength to the theory advanced _ 361 — -^^ ^w^ nancial )wnfaU jngthen nlity of landing le brain. It can yond the animock 1 on the to under- is of eti- {\e drank •ause and jnt.

Stubborn. — He stubbornly refused. Stump. They stumped him for an answer. He is on the stump (electioneering). Sturdy. — There was sturdy opposition to it. Subdue. — His spirit is not subaued. Subject. — He came out strong on the subject. He re- turns to the subject thus : On this subject there is much public misapprehension. He is coquetting with the sub- ject. I do not see the soundness of your views on this subject. He has been subjected to an infamous persecu- tion in the shape of anonymous letters, couched in obscene language and written ostensibly as his brother's. It has long been a subject of much concern to me. While I am talking about women, a word on the subject of theatres. He became insane on the subject of religion. That is the general feeling on the subject. The question of the existence of the association has been the subject of much discussion. Subject to inconvenient changes. To sub- ject one to necessity and inconvenience. A subject of complaint and comment. They have been subjected to a constant strain of excitement — a protracted persecu- tion. They are in accord on the subject. The subject of cheap riding is a very interesting one, but it is hardly my province to enter into it. Go into the subject scien- tifically. The unfortunate subject of this sketch was reared amidst the scenes of a happy home. Subject its practicability to a test. Tell stories only as they grow out of the subject matter of the conversation, or as they serve to illustrate or enliven it. It is hardly a fair way to look at the subject. His views on divers subjects. My method of dealing with the subject. They were subjected to jeers and taunts from the wounded victims of their onslaught. That is the subject uppermost in their minds. He is the subject of all sorts of inquiries. Owing to the prominence the subject has recently ob- tained, his views will be read with an unusual amount of attention. Fix your mind intently upon the subject. It is a subject of rumour that there is probability of more trouble over it. Every one agreed upon the sub- ject. Subjects of interest viewed from various stand- points. She is subject to hysterical fits of crying that ' I I 'RW^ ■■i -i leave her almost prostrated. It formed the staple sub ject of conversation. Sunder. — There is a community of feeling between them which cannot be sundered. Submit. — They refused to submit tamely to such treatment. I claim or submit that it is so. I beg to submit the following remarks to your attention. The question submitted is the possibility of contamination. Once for all, I submit that all such innovations are in- troduced to the thinking world wholly and solely on my responsibility; in other words, if any one should be hanged for them I am the man. They submit tamely to the most ignominious slavery. Subordinate. — He should not be subordinate to the ebb and flow of opinions. Subscribe. — Subscribe to its principles. Subsequent. — -Subsequent attempts were made without success. Subserve. — He said so with a degree of obsequious subserviency that was peculiarly ravolting. Subside. — The uproar then subsided. — The water has subsided six inches. The iinancial crisis is subcJiding. The excitement is subsiding. The tax question will subside into insignificance and silence. I may add that the storm is subsiding. Substance — It is substantially the same. The speech is substantially as follows : It is a substantial pledge of his sincerity. In substance it is the same. There is error of a substantial kind in that theory. That is the substance of the report. To substantiate views. Sub- stantiate your charges by absolute proof. The substance of his evidence is important. Substantiate the above facts. A substantial meal. Substantial results. The house is substantially built. I am able to substantiate it upon testimony of unimpeachable value. Substantial reasons, but impossible conditions. Subtle. — A subtle examiner. Subterfuge. — He expended his wrath on me, declaring the refusal of his check was a mere subterfuge to keep him out of the game. Subvert. — Such conduct could be but subversive of discipline, and the principles of justice and liberty. Succeed. — His tour was an unqualified success. The enterprise succeeded. He met with indifferent success. =^g^ "' ••■^-^■^,Y>*'-% %.-**■ -i^in^' s «♦*-* .i^ I 263 — For two iuccessive seasons. The lecture was short, but otherwise it was a perfect success. This success is all the more noticeable as, owinpj to his continued ill-health, buc comparatively little could be done to place the work before the public. Elated over success. He expressed unabated confidence in final success. Notwithstanding general adverse circumstances, tht match was a success. It is quite within the mark to say that she owes more to her beauty than to her talent for her success. His success is due to the accidents of art and knowledge. Succumb. — He succumbed to an attack of fever. They succumb to the necessities of the hour. His deter- mination to tight down the accusations rather than succumb to public clamor is the result of my impor- tunities. The idea is not tenable that you could succeed. Suffer. — From this we have for a time suffered. He has suffered incalculably in prestige on this account. His interests will not suffer at my hands. He suffers from insomnia and exhibits alarming symtoms of cerebral affection. The right of free speech shall not suffer at my hands. Sports will suffer a grievous blow from the shady circumstances of last season. He suffered pri- vations during his incarceration. I suffered defeat at his hands. Suffice. — Let it suffice to say that with the hour in- variably comes the man. Suffice it to say, the law is not to blame. It is suflScient for my purpose that the word sounds odiously. But, methinks, it should suflBce to say that, &c. Suggest. — He makes a good looking suggestion v/hen he advocates that, &c. It suggests an interesting ques- tion. It suggests the propriety of doing it. He sug- gested the desirability of testing public sentiment on the question of licence. It is highly suggestive. Pre- cautions which experience suggested. Worse than that, it has suggested the existence of bitter domestic strife, and has assumed the appearance of persecution for con- science sake. His silence was more suggestive than the bitterest invectives would have been. It suggests another interesting field of inquiry. It suggests the idea of a funeral procession. He was comfortably ensconced in his apartments which were anything but suggestive of a cell. Suggest a method by which faci- lities could be extended. Its bare mention is sufficient iff. "^, ■■Vf^'^' ' -*,_ 264 — to suggest many benefits. That is the first remedy that suggests itself. All things considered, I am led to wonder why the suggestion came from him. That is the first thought that suggests itself. I would not suggest any ungenerous suspicions as to its genuine- ness. The interest I take in it is intensified by your suggestion. You cannot secure sweeping reforms such as those suggested, in the course of a few months, with- out inflicting serious injustice on those engaged in the business. At my suggestion they will fulfil those con- ditions, but, wanting that, I shall sue them. Various remedies are suggested to relieve those untoward cir- cumstances. Latterly he suggested the expediency of doing so. He yielded a point at my suggestion. I immediately grasped the humour of the suggestion. Suit. — It is suited to a voice of very moderate com- pass. The law must not be interrupted to suit his taste. This truism, though suited to all times and circum- stances, is especially applicable to Canada. It is eminently suited to those wants. He is protestant or catholic, as suits his purpose. The suit which landed him in prison, is engrossing the attention of capitalists. Sullen. — His aspect was that of sullen indifference. Sum. — He rose to sum up the debate. That is the sum and substance of it. The donations sum up ten dollars. Summary. — He was a noticeable figure at the races, and did not appear to be in the least ruffled at his sum- mary dismissal. To summarize evidence. It is thus succinctly summarized : The treatment he received, though summary enough, was not needlessly cruel. He was summarily dismissed. Summon. — Medical assistance was summoned. Sundry. — Sundry Scotch members declined to join in the usual demonstrations of respect. Sundry uncom- plimentary epithets were freely bandied about. Sup. — We supped magnificently off" broiled duck. Superb. — The weather was simply superb. Supercede. — Peace of mind is a blessing that nothing can supercede. It will yet supercede the ordinary style of writing. Superior. — Her dress bespoke a lady of superior class. Supercilious. — The supercilious look, the insolent stare, the vulgar assertion of self. _ 265 — •i-'ri' ^ that ed to hat is d not nuine- J your ts such , with- in the se con- /arious Bird cir- ency o£ tion.

Superfluous. — I sold my superfluous belongings. It is superfluous to consider what vipw I take of his action. Supple7}ient, — The rumour is '^" a^ supplemented with the statement that he will stay. Supply. — The convention supplied him with means of attack. They are supplied as the necessity for them arises. Every want was supplied on the instant. The supply is insufficient. His memoirs supply a magnifi- cent field for imaginative lying. Suppose. — He saw a chance to get even with his sup- posed enemy. Suppose a man to have riches. Suppress. — The city is to be congratulated on his successful efforts to suppress the loathsome disease. To suppress crime, facts, disturbance. Afternoon teas ought to be suppressed by Act of Parliament, as they induce a taste for gossip and dyspepsia. In his lecture he argued in favor of suppressing prisons. The news of the das- tardly deed has been suppressed. Supreme. — It is supremely ridiculous. At a supreme moment like this. A supreme effort was made to mu.ster up a strong contingent composed of his enemies. Every detail is supremely perfect. It is supremely funny. Support. — They give it only a lukewarm support. The summit of my ambition would have been to support him and give effect to his wise inclinations. Support your demands by force. I am sanguine of having his I support. Suppose. — It is popularly supposed that he took defeat [gracefully. It is the climax of absurdity to suppose you can attain the amazing result oi writing so fast. iThis supposes that, &;c. ' \ , Sure. — I am not so sure aliout thai Surge. — The streets are filled with surging masses. lAn immense crowd surged round the boifS^ tP 4^ fum Ihomage. . , ; , Surmount. — He surinonnted the fliflRciiIty with the Iresources at hie command. Surpass. — This m'tress lias Hllfpftsfifid lifer former lachievements. She fturly sui'pHWfjed herself, and was Irecailed. In magnificence of style lie suipa.sses him. The scene is surpassingly beautiful and entrancing. Surprise. — A genuine surprise was sprung on the ^• 5.. I m te '''h .M M \ m i\ ' 266 — t.::-+ defence (legal). His eyes opened in utter surprise, and his first impulse was to throw out this infernal stuff (ice cream); but, being hard pressed by a laughing crowd, he clasped his hands to his mouth. Surmise. — Various explanations are surmised to ac- count for arousing their sympathy. Surreptitious. — The article found its way into the paper surreptitiously. Surround. — You do not know the diflSculties of his position surrounded as he is by various influences. The same circumstances surround him as did Guibord. Among the myriads of temptations surrounding child- hood, if the bad traits exist, th»'y are the ones most likely to gain snppremacy. Survive. — The (fesire survives after the pride of youth has passed. The worst features of the feudal system still survive. If the movement is dead its influence sur- vive*. To survive disaster. Suncapi/ihle. — The excellent roads are worthy of all commeridatiof/, the only improvement to which they are susceptible being an occasional watering, I believe I arri within the truth when I say that such charges are susceptible of proof, and I consider it incumbent upon the authorities to ^ake such measures. Suspend. — Neg 'itions have been suspended. All discussion relative j Egyptian affairs will b»« suspended in the interim. Traffic is suspended. My Mlwpense was like slow torture. Military operations havu been hus- pended. Sustain, — To sustain one's position. Qlad«^o»^ l#| sustained.

They are receiving tangible marks of sympathy and assistance in their en- deavours. Unrestrained sympathy. Synopsis. — A synopsis of the work done and his address (speech). System. — A system of cruelty. The system of doing so is bad. The system of staying out at night is bad. His book is before the public, but his system is anta- gonistic to all modern ideas of self-government. The system of sending passengers by Rail is to be discon- tinued. I have come to this determination from a con- viction that you have fully developed your system. Taboi). — That a man should be tabooed and rejected because he is rich, is a new and untenable doctrine, and quite as objectionable as its twin theory, that one should be Niiiiilarly treated because he is poor. Taciturn. — Ordinarily, he is taciturn. His tacit con- sent. Take. — An unfortunate affair took place, which caused much comment in fashionable circles. Serious conflicts took place over his sweeping majority. They are taking ii|) the cudgels in Scotland's behalf. They are taking into consideration the advisability of doing so. They have tak(*n up his case. According to tV>is, the revolu- tion wai to have taken place noyt year. He took me into his confidence. Broad is che way that leads to 'lestruction, and the multitu'~le of mankind take to it. sinstruinenBShe takes to the men a good deal. They are very indig- nant at the course taken. A long discussion took place upon the proposition to restore religious educa- Reli^io^ isation. It is impossible in an argument of moderate length to take up all the points as suggested. No one of note took up the idea, and attempted to elucidate it. They have not taken to it with any considerable favor. He has been taken to task for it. The stand he has taken with regard to it. He does not tak. kindly to rough work. He has permanently taken up his resji- d to ac- into the s of his jes.

They felt a 'ood deal of disappointment at the promised tournament not taking place. Take pre- cautions against disease. I sharply took him to account for it. I took in the situation in a moment. They took up the cheer and gave him three times three with a vengeance. He will soon take the reins of office. It will only take practical effect after the specified time. I could never take to it. The firmness of the attitude he has taken. Charity takes odd forms sometimes. You take the opposite view, and, in doing so, affirm by impli- cation that while the possession of wealth should be a bar to election, the lack of it should be equally effective to exclude. The current belief we take to be that poli- tical gatherings are not, as a rule, productive of much good. It seems to have taken a most decided turn for the better. Take prompt and effective measures. He takes comfort out of the fact that, &c. An informal reception took place both pleasing and affecting to wit- ness. The announcement took the House by surprise. The lectura was interspersed with anecdotes which took the assemblage by storm. Take action for shorter hours. They have taken a wise course in coming forward a.s they have done. Exception has been taken to its use. The tickets have all been taken up. The papers have taken it up rather warmly. His health is taking a turn for the worse. Let us take up the subject seriously. They have taken the matter up very strongly, and do not intend to let any grass grow under their feet. Reve- rently I took charge of it. I then took the floor. The government takes to itself the improved state of things. I took offence at this. They took a lively interest inl^oi'm the proceedings. At this juncture a lengthy discussion I "^ifo took place. The government has taken an important step in the direction of removing the present incubus in the shape of increased taxation. He is gloriously drunk and will take some time to sober up. Offer no interfe-| rence in the means taken to effect his expulsion. We| are not obliged to take to the roadway in Winter in th city. You must make the amount good, or tak*^ th consequences.

It i the talk o' makes him nonsense n talked by rabid radicals. Let us talk the language of .sober common sen.se. Task. — He has been taken to task for it. Taunt. — He was taunted with his silence. He taun- ted him with meanness. Taste. — An attractive man with literary tastes. There is no accounting for tastes. Tax. — It was irresistibly funny and taxed me greatly, for I bit my lips hard to keep from laughing. It is a task that will tax their energies to the utmost. At pre- sent writing, the hotel is taxed to its fullest capacity. The accommodation was taxed to the utmo.st. They are hampered and burdened by a heavy tax. The case tax- ed the risibilities of the audience. Shorthand is a great tax upon my time. It is an undertaking that would tax the ability of Europe. Tea'm. — His only available wealth is a horse and team. TeW.— Every dollar will tell. Temper. — A good breeze tempers the heat. Temporary. — He is temporarily out of employment. The heat is rendered bearable by the sea breezes. Tenable. — The position taken by you is untenable. Tend. — His liberal tendencies are too pronounced. It is a human tendency to err. The event will tend to preserve peace. He has suicidal tendencies. It tends to the development of England's resources, and conduces to the stability of trade. His discourse tended to show that he is possessed of high ability as a pulpit orator. Such a course has not tended to promote his success. The tendency of political thought is towards the social re- formation of the masses. It will tend to bring about uniformity in style. There is a tendency to over indul- gence in alcoholic stimulants. All his belief tends to catholicity. Protestant tendencies. It tends to long life. All tends to prove that. This system of restric- tion is far from tending to morality. It may tend to modify her policy. It tends to increase my anxiety. An uncontrollable tendency. It will tend to arouse national hostility. To what end does it tend ? Transla- tion tends to exercise the higher powers of the mind. The society has pronouncedly socialistic tendencies. There seems to be a strong tendency in certain quarters, notably the Englislj papers, to connect the seizure with :tfio.se negotiatioiii. It has no tendency to make people tv:: I ik K'lW' ' It 11^' *, 5' 1' 4 i.4 — 270 — virtuous. The tendency or current of human thought is in the direction of progress. It would tend to remove religious prejudices. The gist of his remarks tended to show that. It is the universal tendency of the times — modern times. A man of liberal tendencies. The grow- ing tendency of women may appropriately be so defined. Of late years there has been a decided tendency to turn the stage into a species of millinery show. Their action tended to their own defeat, and did not succeed in turn- ing the tide of our aspirations. This fact is taken as an indication that indiscriminate immigration tends to de- teriorate the social status of the people. Whatever tends to draw men together in the bonds of affection and har- mony will also enable them both to give and to receive an occasional rebuke in the spirit which alone can make it effective in doing good. Tender. — A movement is on foot to tender him a ban- quet in recognition of his gifts for the benefit of the city, notably of his charities. In tendering advice upon European questions, he monopolized the time until recess. He tendered me some advice in his letter. He was ten- dered an ovation. It remains for the government to tender them effectual aid. He has been tendered an in- vitation. He has tendered a solution of the problem. There was a brilliant reception tendered him. We ten- der you our warmest acknowledgments for your generous sympathy — our grateful acknowledgments. They have tendered themselves for examination, and thus disproved the imputation of a desire to shirk the inquiry. Tevsion. — The tension in their feelings is great. The tension has been brought to a climax by the fact that the destinies of Europe have been deprived of their axis. Tenor. — His speech was of the same tenor as yours. Petitions of that tenor. The tenor of the letter will be his answer to all insinuations from whatever source. Term,. — We are not upon speaking terms. He does not seem to be a politician as that term is usually un- derstood. The term " separation " is not correctly applied in this case. It is a home in every sense of the term. I will meet you on any terms. No definite term of service is fixed. The French will bring the English to terms. In the general sense of the term they | are good. 271 — lought emove ide i^ , : m — 272 li ■> N 1^^ ¥■■• ^1 I h £. c Thorough. — He is thoroughly at home in French. He is thoroughly in their secrets. Th«; book shows a thorough knowledge of tlie subject treated, and will, no doubt, meet with general favor. He expressed himself as thoroughly satisfied. They enjoyed themselves thoroughly. I have gone thoroughly into the matter. Thousand. — He has $10,000 in his own name and a thousand in prospective. Threaten. — On the part of tenants there is an indis- position, or, perhaps, it should be called an inability to pay rent, and trouble in this direction is threatened. It threatens to end fatally. Throng. — The streets were thronged with turbulent crowds, but they were dispersed without the occurrence of riotous demonstrations. Throw. — You would be thrown upon your own re- sources. Do not. throw the onus on my h>houlder,s. Tremendous energy was thrown into the preparations. I have not a particle of sympathy to throw away upon him. I comnr need it with high hopes, but finally threw it up as a bad job. His unassuming style was altogether thrown in the shade by your go as you pleuse demeanour. From the few particulars that could be obtained it appears it has thrown the city into a great state of excitement. Thus. — He has tried, but thus far without success. It is ever thus. Ihwart. — I found myself thwarted at every turn. They are trying to thwart his increasing influence. Tickle. — It is a ticklish operation by no means devoid of danger. Tide. — The tide runs high against Ireland. The tide of public opinion is against him. Tide over your diffi- culties. Before the tide of emigration sets in. There is no wanting evidence that the tide has been per- manently turned towards this country. Capable men stemming the tide of extravagance. The tide of immi- gration is towards this city, of people who are wedded to old fashioned ideas. Tight. — He is in a tight place. Time. — He is trying to hide the ravages of time. I am doing fairly well as the times go. There was an i exciting time at the meeting. I might dilate till morn- ing on the many varied costumes and their wearers,! .- 373 — 7*- French.

Tint. — So pronounced was the tint that he pa.ssed for a darkey. Tie. — They tie the hands of public charity. Their hands are tied by public sympathy with disorder. Time. — It is bad enough at the best of times. He is iiaving a lively time with the police. The announce- ment is timely. Knots of curious people collected from time to time. Time was when, &c. Frcui that time onwfird. Tip. — He is a republican t> the tips of his fingers. Tire. — One never tires seeing it. Tinsue. — His manifesto is a tissue of calumny and brag. A tissue of falsehoods seriously atfectin^jf his moral character. Tithe. — There is not a tithe of foundation for the statement. Tiptoe. — He is on the tiptoe of expectfttion. Toil. — He is in the toils of the law. He is in the toils for forgery. Tolerate. — Further resistance on their part cannot be tolerated. I will not tolerate the violation of such rights. He refu.sed to recognize or tolerate any of them near him. Tolerable. — We drank to the success of our journey, and felt tolerably independent. They are so dissimilar th&t it is tolerably evident that, &c. I am tolerably cer- tain of it. Tone. — He said so in his most unctious and wheedling tone. He writes in a tone of absolute despondency. The warlike tone of the report. A speech mild in tone. The speech was a great effbi't, but was marred by the harsh tones of the speaker. Topic. — That is not a fit topic for discu.s.sion. It i.s^ the great topic of interest on the street. His retirement was the leading topic of discussion. His fall has been the absorbing topic of discussion. It is the all absorb- ing topic on the streets and in public places. To discuss a pressing topic. It is always best in these cases tv begin al the top, or with the highest oflScials. Total. — It is a total failure for the re&son indicated. ' It has undergone a total change in the face of recent • .

He appears totally indifferent to his fate, and is down for a lecture. He touched upon the good ser- vice done them by the mayor, whose remarks on behalf of the Council were greatly to the point. Touch. — The thermometer touched 34° yesterday and registered 40° the day before. The change does not touch the object in view. Among the several points upon which he touched was the land question. His explanations touching the questions at issue are in like manner satisfactory being received with general ap- plause. That subject was not touched. One point touched was the restriction of licenses. He touched upon the advantages derivable from it. We have had a touch of the storm here. He touched on all the points of Canadian development. Track. — They are fleeing from the country with the police on their track. Trace. — The disease should be traced to its source. He traced its history through its various stages. It is not traceable to that. The rumours cannot be traced to any authentic source. There is no trace of intellectual inferiority. He showed traces of ans^oyance. The er - velope bore plain traces of having been tampered with. Tradition. — Continue faithful to the traditions of the liberal party, and do not swerve from their path. Trammel. — He should not seek to trammel him in his efforts to settle the Irish question. i ' Tranquil. — Perfect tranquillity will be the order of the day. Tran8a4it. — A large amount of the usual routine busi- ness was transacted. She transacts his affairs. Transcend. — It transcends it as day transcends the night. V V *:.i Transit. — Boats are the only means of transit over the water. Transpa/rent good faith and candour. Transpire. — The exact amount has not transpired. Nothing fresh has transpired in the case. On inquiry, it transpired that, Sue. li transpires that there are four cases. The few details which have transpired in con- nection with it are in the main incorrect. Transjdant.— The one reason that has restrained him from transplanting himself to the other Hou.se.

To traverse state- ment. He traversed only a very short distance, and it was with difficulty he reached the place. Treat. — He treats the matter lightly — as utterly ridi- culous. He treated me to a very low dose of abuse. I am treating for the purchase of the house. His proteat was treated with contempt. X was undecided as to the mode in which I should treat the affair. The family was treated to a most painful occurrence in the death of her son. They treated his vi«i!ws as chimerical. Yes- terday was not the first of April, but I was treated as if it had been. It negatives, the assertion that I was trea- ted in a similar fashion. His testimony is treated as \7orthless. Tribute. — The systematic discipline and air of comfort which everywhere is apparent, is a fine tribute to their devotion. After flowery tributes to the previous speakers he slid into an atiack on me which made me wriggle in my seat. The large audience was a tribute to her genius. They paid him a fitting tribute. Trick. — It is an old time election trick. This joke on you shows you to have been badly tricked. Trivial. — His letter is of trivial importance, though magnified into a state question. Trouble. — Notwithstanding that troublous times have arrived. I do not trouble myself about the differences of the past or the far future. He died from a trouble of the heart. With this (at this juncture) he entered and inquired about the trouble. He is laid up with a complication of cold and bronchial troubles. True. — Void of truth. Truly her face has been her fortune. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Tell the sober truth. He is as true as steel. He has been true tc his convictions all through. There is much force and tr'ith in your remarks; It is none the less true that, &c. Trust. — Beware of trusting to (deceptive) appearances. I cannot trust my memory for details. Try. — He is trying to make political capital by it. This at any rate is the experience of other cities where the experiment has been largely tried. He his clearly trying to make the best of a bad case. This is the means taken to try and get, at the bottom of it. He is trying to dodge the issue. , — 276 Tumult — On rising to respond he met with a perfect tumult of applause. She made her appearance amid the moHt tumultuous applause. The tumult and the rush was uncontrollable. Twi^. — Chance acquaintance gradually ripened into friendship which, in turn, developed into love. His illness is taking a fatal turn, no one having lent him any assistance. He turned up bright and early this morning. His health has taken a turn for the worse. The harvest is turning out well. The best team they can turn out. Tiiink of it, turn it over in your mind. It now turns out most regretably that, through a slight i /regularity, he is in a minority. It was wholly in vain, as it timed out. He has iu^t turned his fortieth vea** No clue as to his whereabouts has yet turned up. He has turned up in London. To all his proposals she turned a deaf ear. Twofold. — This much is clear that he who was shot turns out to have been insane. Type. — He is a good type of the ^ ish gentleman. Umbrage has been taken at it. Ultimate. — My desire in the matter was ultimately overborne. Nothing offers a surer basis of ultimate suc- cess. Hd warned me of the ultimate consequence of such a step. Unanimous. — They were unanimously of opinion that, &;c. The agreement was unanimous. Unaffected by the extremes of heat and cold. Unborn. — The nnborn generation. Unbounded. — The enthusiasm was unbounded. Unbalanced. — His mind is unbalanced or unhinged by epilepsy. Unaitauming. — He is unassuming in his manners.

Uncompromising. — He is my bitter uncompromising enc'nv. Uncontrollable. — I fell into a fit of uncontrollable lauflfhter. Undergo. — His ideas have undergone a marked change. He has recently Undergone domestic bereavement. uniqu Ur Un uninti Un direct of for Un portio not at 277 — This question underwent considerable discussion, and all were of the opinion that it should be decided in the affirmative. I have undergone some such experience myself. Underlie. — There is some truth underlying the sar- casm. There is something suspicious underlying the reports so profusely scattered through the newspapers. Underrate desirability. Understand. — It is generally understood that free lunch is a bait for public patronage. I am given to understand so. I understand through private ad vices that, &c. It is pretty generally understood that confectioners use arsenic. It is understood that negotiations are now under way. I did so on the understanding that, &c. Undertake. — He undertook to lecture them in a cha- racteristic fashion. It is an undertaking which deserves warm backing, and we wish to see it furthered by abso- lutely unobjectionable means. He is slow to undertake so responsible a task. A gigantic undertaking. Undeserved. — It was undeserved. . < UndeHrable. — It is undesirable. He is a veijy unde- sirable individual. ,, . . Undoubted heresies. Undxne. — The greatest evil appears to be the undue construction of holdings. Undue severity. Unearth. — An apparently extensive system of robbery has been uneartiied. , ,, , ^, Unequalled in design and durability. Unfold. — A book unfoldiLg mysteries t> d thrilling adventure;). Ungua.'ded. — In an unguarded moment. Unimpaired. — He preserved his faculties unimpaired until his death. Uniq'tjue. — In this re.«pect his opportunities are unique. The spectacle was unique of its kind. It is a piece of unique cuteness. Uninformed of feelings. Unintentional. — The inaccuracy of the reporter was unintentional. Unite. — A united effort is being quietly made in that direction. His works unite truth of matter with beauty of form. Unlucky. — The unlucky wight received a shock pro- portioned exactly to the humour of his assistant, but did not attribute blame wO him directly. « I mmmmmt ■■■ — 278 — Unlock. — We mutually unlocked our confidence. Unmiatakahle. — I m^an yourself unmistakably. Unparalleled success — brutality. Unprecedented. — The theatre is enjoying a period of unprecedented prosperity. Unprecedented enthusiasm. Unqualified success. Unquestionably it is. His virtue, integrity and abi- lity are alike unquestioned n,nd unquestiono jle. Its appropriateness is unquestionable. It is unquestionably the best article in the market. ' Unshaken. — Lcn^alty Unshaken. Unsparing. — He used hard language in his unsparing denunciation of public officials. Untiring. — He is untiring in his efforts to serve them. Untravetled. — An untravelled greenhorn. Unused. — I am unused to it. Unutterably mean. Up. — He is up for examination. Uphold. — He upholds the government in its policy. Public opinion upholds them. He upholds my view of the difficulty. Unrivalled excellence and systematised union. Upset. — Their unanimous opinion has so completely upset his pretensions that the partisans of Liberalism have no recourse left but that of abusing the court. Upshot. — The upshot proves that it does not amount to very much. That was the upshot of his folly. Urge. — They are ui^ng him to speak definitely in regard to his plans. He urges the necessity of the Con- servatives facing the issue. This objection has been urged with effect against it. Two reasons are urged Against such stringent measures as the prohibition of public gatherings. It is humiliating to have to ur|;e such common place argumeiits. She has received pro- mises of pecuniary aid from her son, who urges her to assert her rights at any expense. He urged the adop- tion of his views and the necessity of peace, and declar- ed that English prestige must be maititained, and the dangers menacing the country avoided. I vainly urged on him the necessity of reformation. He urged resis- tance to emigration. He vehemently urged me to do so. He urged the necessity of aiming at the highest standard of military efficiency. That urges us to push forward with redoubled energy. There is nothing to be urged resu his i ■^ ^ sparing ^e them. policy. ^ of view n.

It was very properly urged that the evil is in the existence, not in the public recognition of the fact. He urged upon him the advisability of raising their salaries. He urged the necessity of immediate action. The necessity of accuracy, thoroughness and repetition is again urged with these. The aspirant to shorthand honors cannot fail of a speedy success. The folly of such a course is strongly urged upon then. I am ur- gently in need of funds. It is an argument frequently urged against its adoption. Mistaken identity was & good plea urged on his behalf. He restated in effect the argument already urged. The details of the argu- ment entered into are urgently necessary. Those are the pretentions urged i:a having overstepped their juris- diction. Above and beyond all things, aggressive action is urged against him as a likely candidate. They don't take very Kindly to the charges, and so, urge upon the corporation the advisability of doing something to re- duce them. He urged upon them the inadvisability of doing so. At my urgent request we used logs for im- provised bridges ; and, by dint of leaping, we passed the barrier ; but they resented our intrusion. Use. — Such a latin book will supercede (do away with) the use and expense of classical autnors. He uses the word unnece.ssarily. He will use his tactics in such a way as to render any stable government majority impossible. Strict precautions were used to ensure the fact of its being secretly removed. He is using it to the best advantage. A wholesome usage. Use your influence in encouraging trade. He made judicious use of his in- disposition by keeping the reporters at bay. A useless precaution. They are using their utmost efforts on behalf of their cause. He uses his position to further private aims. No expression tending towards vulgarity was used. It is used in a similar way. Expostulations were useless. You should use your privileges to better purposes. Using the Word in its true sense. Use your influence to keep it a going. Use your discretion in disposing of them. Arsenic is used as a tonic occa- sionally, and actresses use it to a pretty considerable ex- tent to impart a bright hue to the complexion, and lustre to the eyes. Arsenic is alsc/ used with dangerous results in compounding dyes. He is determined to use his influence in such a way as shall cause our country ■ S| ■■' Si — 280 ^ to occupy the first rank. It is worse than useless to spend time in attempting impoRsibilities. He used vi- fforous language. He uses his tongue too freely. To impair usefulness. He is using his best efforts to get the bill through. It equals it in importance and use^l- nesH. He used pressure and argument to tempt a viola- tion of the law without old time preliminaries. Their opinions are used to defeat truth and justice. He looks with disapproval on the proposal to abolish the official use of French, and stigmatizes it as unfair and unjust, but has no thought of taking retaliatory s^-eps. There was no unnecessary harshness used. It is used for the subversion of freedom. It has always been the usage in Christian households to interest children in mission work. Usher. — I was ushered in and introduced in due form, and took the remark in good part. The performance was ushered in by " Home Sweet Home," which was magni- ficently rendered. The morning was ushered in with a cloudless sky, but with a biting frost which had a very depressing effect on the outdoor di ^Jlay. All manners of callings ushering in 1890 with its live issues ready for discussion. Usual. — It is more than usually interesting. The Council opened with the usual formalities. The perfor- mances were of the Usual circus order, but nothing CHn be said in the way of complaint so far as quantity is concerned. UtUity.-^lt is of the greatest possible utility. My own experience of the utility of this practice is the cir- cumstances which induced me to pursue the study with steadiness. Utilize his defeat to the utmost. Utilize your vast commercial experience in enlarging our trade relations. Utmost — It shows itself to the utmost advantage, dis- playing simultaneously buds and blossoms, and beautiful scenery meets the eye at every turn. They did their utmost with the limited means at their command to extinguish the flames, but to no avail. He is looking forward to it with th,e utmost confidence. He should do his utmost to contribute to the solution of the prob- lem. They are exerting themselves x,o the utmost to make the occasio;:* memorable. It did not last over five minutes at the utmost.

The utmost precautions are enforced. The utmost possible restraint is put upon the servants. Good roads are of the utmost importance. That is the utmost the government will concede. The utmost fair- ness. The utmost I can do is to, &c. It is of the utmost value to me. Their reserve is carried to the utmost lim t He is laboring under the utmost extremities of po-verty. I hold it as a matter of the utmost importance to yield so convincing a point. titter. — Incendiary utterances of a man in bad straits. It gave utterance to mournful notes peculiar to its specie*. They are utterly unprovided for, and the house is totally inadequate to protect them from the rain. He is utterly incapable of teaching error. It was crowded to the uttermost. On the strength of one or two changes which are utterly unimportant, so far as the company is con- cerned, there has been an attempt to create an opinion that a great triumph has been achieved. This utterance finds a responsive echo in the hearts of the people. This is the kind of rubbish he utters. To utter with varying degrees of force. It hhows the utter illegality of their course. He uttered friendly sentiments towards him. The police force is utterly inadequate. He was guarded in his utterances. He is uttering counterfeit coin. It is an utter failure, and little short of an insult. I was utterly deceived by his strategy. Numbers of coolies go about naked. How strange it is that these richly endowed islands 80 preeminently fitted to be the abode of humanity should be utterly destitute of it. Vacillate. — Vacillation is the bane of religion. Vague. — For some time past vague rumours have been in circulation ii> political circles to the effect that the scandal has been revived. He has vague ideas on f^ome subjects, and that is one of them. Vague, ambiguous phraseology. Vague fears. Vain. — Though I am vain enough to be pleased with the institution of afternoon teas, nothing can be said for it. Vain would it be to attempt it. Valid. — Valid reasons. The ticket is valid for return. Value. — Rapidity of writing is valuable only when associated with ease and accuracy of reading ; when the latter are wanting phrasing loses its value, and had better be entirely dispensed with. They will be a valuable auxiliary in the fight for Home Rule. Rewards m — 282 — to the value of SIOO. The more one pays for a thinff the more one values it, as a general rule. They Ure ot transcendent value both converging to a common end. Variety. — The reason of the attack ia assigned to a variety of causes. He is for a variety of reasons the best hated man in the House. No one had more accurate or varied knowledge than he. With varying success. The opinions vouchsafed are as various as they are nume- rous. Their descriptions of him do not vary in the least. He is a man of varied attainments and an accom- plished scholar. They are of varying widths. They vary in external deaign for a variety of intelligible rea- sons. My experience has been varied and interesting. The presents were numerous and varied. They vary in size and shape. Vehicle. — The schools are vehicles for the propagation of socialistic doctriL^s. .'-*•■■. Venerate. — Venerate his memory. Vegetable. — The leaf was criticallv examined, but no- thing could be seen beyond vegetable life. Vengeance. — That is patriotism with a vengeance. Vent. — To vent fury on a person. Ventilate. — The facts will be thoroughly ventilated. The important questions at stake will be thoroughly ventilated and discussed. He likes to ventilate his opinions. To ventilate facts. Ventilate your grievances through the newspapers. He ventilated his view with regard to what he termed the high-handed oppression of the officials. The Russian outrages are being venti- lated again. Venture. — If I may venture an opinion. My specu- lative venture turned out successful. «If I may venture a word of counsel, it is that the discussion terminate at this point. I ventured to add that, &;c. ^. s his letters are not altogether free from recrimination I venture the opinion that good feeling between the rival parties would be promoted rather than retarded were this letter to be the laHt on the subject. Verge. — Talent verging on genius. A venturesome journey. Verdict. — They have agreed on a verdict in her favor, and are gloating over the fact that, &c. Verify. — Reports should be verified before they are dispatched. To verify statements, assertioi^, &c. Here, IS the sistei only mine view Hbere Then evide war.

Here, as elsewhere, is verified the ^ruth of the old saying, " A little learning is a dangerous thing." Rumours of im- pending riots were not verified by events, Veritable. — It is a veritable centre for the dread disease. A veritable prodigy. Veraiov. — That is my version of the difficulty. His version of it is inaccurate. The official version of the resolutions has been adopted. His version of the contro* versy has been well aired. Veto. — An appointment vetoed or snuffed out. Vestige. — His intervention has removed the last vestige of doubt about his guilt. Vest — He is vested with the sole power of appoint- ment. Vice. — Thoir great vices are lying and whiskey. Vicinity. — The houses in the immediate vicinity. View. — I do not view it with any feelings of alarm. That is a moderate view to take. The object in view. Unduly mild view. In view of the persistent efforts that they have made in certain quarters, a history of their work cannot be uninteresting. My views on the matter are not in sympathy with vours. My view of the case was ver: fled. His view of the state of affairs is by no means rerssuring. This view is confirmed by the explanation it affords of some of the circumstances connected with it. You should not take the gloomiest possible view of it. I have no very accurate views with regard to it. In view of the lull in the discussions it is desirable to know it. H has loose views on religion. This is in accordance with his previously announced views ; in this, as in other matters, he his proving himself con- sistent. That is one view of the question. It is the only rational view to take. His views are in advance of mine. There is work being done in a quiet way in view of the coming elections. His views are broadly liberal. I tried very hard to take his view of the case. There cannot be any other conclusion in view of the evidence adduced. It was oone in view of probable war. In view of the difficulties still confronting us. That is the summary of my views. In view of the fact that there existed no ill will between them he dismissed the case. Qreat crowds have flocked hither all day I in view of the event. Aside from the general view that, I &c. Let everything possible be done with this in view. ^-!f • ( : 1 ( — 384 - People do not generally take that view. To express one's views. This view of the case is an injustice tu me. His views of the various phases of English life were broad and comprehen.sive. It is in peaceful, not in war- like views, that France must find her strength and prosperity. In view of these conflicting elements a re- course to law is inevitable. I view it with alarm. Our views are widely divergent. This strength, in view of the smalluess of their interests, is considered significant. We are strengthened in this view by the consideration that, &c. The better opinion is against this view. How is the difficulty viewed. What are your views on the question. If you view it otherwise you have been mis- led by delusive appearances. Those are my views on the subject. It may be viewed in two lights. Keep its importance constantly in view. They view the pro- bability of his early demise with alarm. That is the popular view of his recent visit. Great interest is felt in view of the anxiety in city circles. He follows fish- ing not only as a pastime, but also with a view to profit. That is my view of the difficulty. The view that it should have been done sooner is not shared by me. My view is confirmed by hi.s opinion. The re- porters were admitted in view of the execution. That is a view of the matter which is not transcendental. Their movements were viewed with indiffence. With this object in view a bill will be introduced to modify the mode by which they are elected. They have Italy's humiliation in view while making a show of reconcilia- tion. It is written with a special view to their guidance. With a view to pushing business to a conclusion. There are various views on the question. His views are those of an educated man. In view of his hostile attitude. Vie. — Turks and Qreeks vie in courtesies towards him. In >4ew of the known differences of opinion on the subject, another line of policy has been decided upon. Having vied with the men in the process of bidding at the auction, they came out victorious. That is my view of the circumstances leading to his resi^rnation. In view of the issue of the applications we urge the continuance and extension of the present movement. Vicissitude. — After various vicissitudes he found him- self one morning completely stranded, a stranger without any one to turn to in the direst emergency of his life. — 386 — The fallin}^ through of the scheme for rapid steamHhip travel is the subject of much discussion in shipping circles, and a rumour for some time going the rounds that they h-^. 1 in view the placing of powerful engines in their rl^eauiers, lent further interest to the subject. Should they be proceeded against from any quarter, with a view to their punishment, or with thn purpose of testing the constitutionality of the provision against fiiiblicity, they muh.t not involve us in the responsibility, t was done with a view to compelling its publication. I speedily became convinced of the fallacy of my views. He was examined as to his sanity in view of the wan- tonness of the action. It is interesting in view of so many contradictory reports ; but, in view of your t»tate- mtriii, it is easy to understand all. There is no proces- sion in view (contemplation). That is the main point kept in view in the examination. Vigorotis. — This sentiment is likely to find vigorous expression the coming week. Unabated vigor. victim. — Whiskey again claims a victim. It is count- ing its victims by the hundred, and its severity is in- stanced by mention of the fact that, &c. Victims of injustice. I am the victim of circumstances. V'dainovAi. — A man of vilainous appearance. He is a victim of many misgivings, the chief one of which is the uncertain standing of his case. Vindicate, — In the vindication of my character I cannot be satisfied with less than % retractation on his part. He vindicated the Policy of the government aga'nst his imputations. Violent. — He violently abused the czar, and this de- termined his fate. He met his death by violent means. Having fever of a violent type in his house, he was arrested at my complaint. ' ^ ' " ' ' ' Virtual. — The difficulty may be regarded as virtually settled. The dramatic sea<«on is now virtually over. The situation is virtually unchanged. Violate. — He gave an assurance that the peace of Europe V7ill not be violated. It is an undcubted fact . that mothers violate certain well known ' rules in the matter of dress for the development of children. Virtue. — It is credited with all the virtues attributed to sarsaparilla. Virtue is its own reward and vice its own punishment. In virtue of his opinion I will not go. The sentence of murder virtually seals his fate. Visible. — Symptcais of comfort are everywhere visi- ble. Astonishment was visible on every face, Visit. — It has been visited by an unprecedently heavy rain storm. His carelessness was visited with nearly fatal results. I am inclined to the conclusion that his visit involves a change. Vital. — Vital interests are threatenelor are other matters of interest wanting. They want to find Bomo via media if they can, but their proposaJs admit of none. ' Wander. — Through what masses of *.hought he wan- dered in pursuit of his object is a matter known only to himself. Wanton. — Do no^ wantonly disgrace yourself. Warlike. — The war fever is abating. The war cloud is darkening Europe. Warm. — After passing the time of day he warmed up to the subject in hand. The club warmed up and gave them all the work they could do (in Lacrosse). He thank- ed his constituents with much warmth of expression. Warrant. — He does not look so old as his years warrant. \t is not so serious as to warrant such, fears, •inch general condition of disorder warrants the enact- ment of exceptional laws. He forbade it on the pre- tence that the law does not warrant it. Those attacks are without warrant as far as the public interests are concerned. My continued absence does not warrant my receiving it. The success of the year warrants this assertion. His past conduct does not warrant the belief that it is wise to entrust him with the execution of the laws. It does not warrant the inferences drawn from it. I have not data to warrant me in doing this. It warrants the belief that trains will run immediately. "'^"'^ews from them is exceedingly meagre, and nothing is «wiAOwn to warrant the conclusion that they have made anyprogress as yet. Waste. — Your compassion is wasted on me. He was wasting the treasures of his mind on a very unprofit- able audience. I would not waste postage stamps on him. I have no strength to waste on you. They have wasted a great deal of intemperate language over the question. It is w^asting words to inveigh against sui- cidal protection, but, in conclusion, I will say simply this: Watch. — The proceedings are watched with interest. Let business, not politics, be the • watchword. Thrw straight games is the watchword. — 288 -^i- Vfax. — Well, well, said he, waxiog irate and eloquent. Waver, — Public opinion wavers between suicide or accident in his case. Way. — Baskets are fashioned in this way. It is para> mount to all other considerations ; but there is a diffi- culty in the way of appointing him. He is a money lender in a small way. What a marvelous fact is here presented on one's way. The work is under way. The ceremony was conducted in the usual humdrum fashion or way. There are two ways of doing most things, a right way and a wrong. I am getting along first rate in the way of singing. Nothing bars the way. The public, in the mass, has a poor way of expressing itself. Waywa/rd conduct. Wear. — His face wore an air of much sobriety. Her face wore a wearied expression which seemed out of place with her apparently buoyant spirits. The romance of the affair is worn away. *; ;^ Weaken. — It will weaken his hold on the people, and will prove a disaster which he will find great difficulty in tiding over. Weary. — I shall not attempt to weary you with an account of our arguments. Wearying of delays I forced a quarrel. Weight. — His idtas carry a certain weight with them, no matter how outre they may be. Weltering in his blood. f \ / ,, ; .t , Whiles. — Between whiles. ; .- r»: ^ H ..v Whiten. — Before Winter whitens. Whole. — The report is wholly false. His death was wholly unlooksd for. Potatoes, on the whole, will suc- ceed as well as in former years. Wield. — Prejudice may wield a strong and tyrannical arm, but itt force grows weak and its hand paralysed in the contest with that eternal truth which impels to the best and highest in all things. Wilf'ul.—WiMxxX neglect. Wiles. — She fell a victim to the wiles of the charmer. Win. — His speech won great favor from Gladstone. It seemed to. be a foregone conclusion that he would win. The company has won flattering encomiums from the Press. What with water and mud we are having «n unpleasant time of it. Wind^ — He wound up with a very argumentative and convincing peroration. "1- •^ w^ ^ ^yt^' ■■''■' — IW — , «»<■» Wink. — I know him as a man above suspicion who Would never wink at immorality. Wise. — He is old enough to have cut his wisdom teeth.

"They have withdrawn their patronage. His pressure upon him to withdraw has been futile, and he will listen to no compromise. Withhold names.

Wonder. — His attainments are a matter of wonder. They ask, wonderingly, what he will do next. Work. — A change has been wrought in him. The disease is steadily working its way. The same mis- chievous spirit is at work. Such a system will not work well. It works injuriously to Catholicity. We have a solid basis upon which to work. The authorities are working up evidence against him. He worked his way to distinction in the face of tremendous difficulties. Work together for a common object. He might have wrought much good. The detectives are diligently at work. It is working havoc in my system. The council is inadequate to the discharge of its work. What has wrought this remarkable change ? The work must be m - m- judgiBd by its resalts. The in«»ffectual working of the jury system. He is back again to work. Tune works Wonders. I am not going to work for mere lovo of the business. Time works great changes. Things are not working smoothly. The league is working in perfect harmony with us. It is time to make a move and work in that direction. Her work extends over into the afternoon. Worry. — He is worried about your condition. World. — The demonstration will assume a form hos- tile to the world. Worsted. — Thej'^ got worsted in the struggle. He was worsted in the quarrel. ^ Worthy. —It is worthy of remark that the great re- sources of the company contribute a large share to her success.

Jtieid. — To yield to demands — desires. It is astonish- ing how it yields to its influence. His highest concep- tion of public duty is to yield to his superiors and treat those below him with studied insolence. I yield to no one in my desire to see you happy. He is not the man to yield readily to his physician where absence from duty is counselled. It has yielded a result of the first historical importance. Fully an average yield. He yielded with composure to his fate. The an? )unt of the grain yield. I yield to none in respectful veneration for him. It doe^ not yield to it in importance.

':y.: ADDENDA :,,* ' '. i U; ;.i-.' They ha^ve done irreparable damage to their cause. It constitutes a fatal breach of public faith and privute honor. He candidly admits the impossibility of requit- ing their friendship with an affront. I don't take the remark made by him to mean that the mystery will be cleared up. The logic of events has sundered the al- liance. The gabble about the socihl ostracism to which he will be subjected, is absurd. He clung to the hope to the very last. I may be warranted in asking you to expand the conclusions given above. In view of this, the court found there was no error in the conviction by the jury. He was acquitted on a point of law. That being so, he tendered his surrender. There is no deny- ing the fact that the revelations are regarded as a blow to their cause. If you value j our reputation you will stay away from the theatres. His manner was cold and not calculated oo invite conversation. He wore a spruce new hat. It will send a thrill of pride and admiration through the heart of England. Cooperate with him in his efforts to redeem his country from disgrace. I in- quired from him if he still clings to such a hope. His continuance in the leadership would be productive of consequences disastrous in the highqst degree to ,the ,^ •! = f'*. — 292 — 4 cause. I will give him a taste of the blackthorn for having retarded the progress of the bill. They were unanimous in declaring that he knew what he was about. His paper has a leader eulogizing his friend. The museum has received a new accession to its trea- sureN. There is only one course for him to pursue, and that is, to efface himself from public life for the brief period which must ensue before he can marry. It is lamentably true that his reputation is compromised. They are unanimously of that opinion, but he resents keenly their disregard of his protest. The change appears to proceed from the assumption that, &c. I hold that those who argue that the control of the party is our sole affair, and that nothing v^ill be involved or jeopardized if they don't repudiate their leader, play into the hands of their enemies. That is not a consi- deration likely to influence his action. The question answers itself. They talk of a prospective change in the leadership. The sooner he faces those obvious facts the better for his reputation. Fidelity to the cause compelled them to gulp down their indignation. The country is stirred by painful disclosures, but they do not, in the slightest degree, d(Togate from the urgency and sacredness of the cause. All sorts of shabby de trices were adopted to avoid detection, and I have no tolera- tion for offences of this description. The cause is draw- ing near to the final issue. A very pretty «ight it looked as they marched through the streets. He stoutly denied that any change is pending. He lacks the coolness and self-command requisite for such difficult work. No nation could ever attain to the fullest development of intellectual life. It is the crowning blessing of all. The finger of destiny points to him as the coming man, and he is arousing fresh enthusiasm. The speeches were in excellent taste. Accounts have reached the public in an exaggerated and distorted form. They joined in a chorus of denunciation of their leader who tried to . brazen it out. How the experiments were conducted, and what they disclosed. . He is showering favors un- solicited upon those likely to be of use to him. There was a general stir and movement, and all eyes .were riveted on him. He has lived long enough to have some of the escapades of his youth forgotten. He abuses and derides him in every form of invective. The mi- jh> — W3 - ^i ■-t^,..: nister's ministrations wore in rain. It was stowed away as next thing to useless. He warmly thanks them for the hospitality extended to him. He professes (pretends) to believe that they will volunteer such information. Whatever may be the reasons assigned for this result, railway competition, high charges, difficulties of naviga- tion, or all combined, make very little difference. I would not take the risk of such an undertaking;. He does not acknowledge the obligation, and a cross action will follow. They will put a stop to his watching their interest. The question at issue is, whether, &c. The doctor influenced them on sanitary grounds. There is considerable speculation as to his prospect of breaking gaol. An unhallowed grave by being refused Christian burial. The seeming repentance that had given him so much gratification was hollow and pained him to the heart ; and he determined on a course of pro- cedure dictated by his conscience towards the man to whom he had ministered so tirelessly. It is an interesting consideration for us whether our atti- tude cM]k t>e sustained. We must not draw conclu- sions M^Tfitshly. It has been demonstrated by costly ex- perience that the system designed to divert the freight trade from its natural route is a failure. Its utility must be judged by the principle laid down above. He is known oy the soubtiquet of Red Jim. It has not in- creased of late years in ratio with the increased amount carried by rail. He has been obliged to return the ex- ecution on the judgments aggregating over $5000, there beirg no property to levy on. A feud to the death is creating a great sensation here. At a point in the service whers the bishop challenges the people to declare whatever moral impediments may have been in his way. British Columbia impressed me as a country of great possibilities. He does not care to stand the exposure that it,is averred will follow theapproaching trial. What- ever their faults they idolize a moral hero. The orga- nization is distinctively German. The writer opens by regretting that you have forced the disclosure of a pain- ful st<>ry. The Turkish outrages have reached such a pointy to call for a strong protest. Public opinion l^vor:^ strong pressure being Drought to bear on him to pot a stop to those outrageous doings. Qreat victories, political or otherwise, bring their corresponding troubles. r.i 4IS.< ■■•^»yii** — M4 — He does not seem to have taken to the suggestion. People attach more importance to the incident than it deserves. His life is an illustration of misspent advan- tages. Much pomp attends the ceremony. It is a case of mortality from over work. Money is tight this Winter. He displays great anxiety lest his body should fall into the hands of the doctors. Which doctors ? was the query. He declined to enter into political prophesies, the futility of which recent events have fully shown. They don't desire him to retire unless by his own wish, in which event the leadership will be vested in a commission. This creates renewed interest in his personality. The experiments demonstrated beyond all question that it is worthless, having been knocked into smithereens by the other invention. He realizes that he was read out of the party (liberal). It is the talk of the day. His ac- tion is considered as meaning that he wishes to break with the Tory Unionist wing. Those who are in the secrets of the administration had long expected it, and to them your pointed remarks about Liberalism had a double significance. They consider it an indication that success is certain. The culprit is preparing for the ine- vitable. The great reaper (doath) is gathering in a plentiful harvest. The whole thing is simply a difi'e- rence of opinion on the school matter. A talk With them brought out this fact. I was as much impressed by his sincerity and enrnestness as by his abilities. It is altogether unlikely that he can see his way clear to hear the case. He was found too busy to attend to it. He will meet his fate like a man, but it would be idle to deny that he has no hope. His chances are very slim. This is a condition of things I would like to see reversed. It gives emphasis to his words. It bears testimony to the energy and enterprise of the emigrants and the enlarged ideas they have carried with them. There is no political significance to his visit. His paper gives prominence to some sensational news. The shots tired to test their lelative strength went booming round the gldbc, and their echoes have not ceased to reverberate. The invention marks the beginning of a new era in his- tory. It is second to none in completeness. You must pay the price of many discomforts for your rare experience.

The island feels the influence of the heat most perceptibly, — an island in which corn never reaches maturity. You suffer from all the pangs of sea sicknes though you may have circumnavigated the globe with- out a qualm of it. It is midway down the conti- nent. The mountain rivals the Himalays in height and sublimity. It affords three notable examples of this inte- resting phenomenon. Fish contribute largely towards the support of the population. They have been hunted out of existence for their valuable fur. Criminals are crow- ded indiscriminately together. They contributed a few cents per capita with which to sustain life. They fur- nish us with the rudest materids for building. Scenes of robbery, murder and violence are of daily occurrence. The most diligent search failed to discover the identity of the murderers. The hill rises so precipitously out of the water that hardly a goat could scale it, except on the further side, where the ascent it* not difficult, but where you are compelled to stop to recover breath in the thin air. His memory does not need to be kept alive by such means : He lived in the hearts of his countrymen, and a more enduring monument was wrought by him- self in his scientific researches. It came with new force to my mind perfectly describing the scene and its effect upon the beholder. It seems to be lifted above the re.st of the world in spirit as well as in fact. One is disturbed by a thousand alarms with the condor swooping down towards you as if in menace. The ab- sence of forests and the white clouds surging up from the plains ready to be precipitated and dissipated by the snowy barriers they cannot pass, the painful silence, all impress the traveller with a feeling that he is no longer in the same world. There is nothing with which he is familiar, nothing suggestive of other scenes, — not an unfitting region this for the development of an original civilization. It is an unheard of proceeding. I would not venture a decisive opinion upon it. I do not see my way to consider such a proposal, as it is on a diffe- rent footing. The contest between labor and capital has gone to the sharp issues of strikes. It will streng- then the position of the Liberals. They will gain it by the judicious use of combination. I was impressed at the manner of the reception. It is not prompted by any hostile feeling to you, but it will stand further develop- . I! ■r : .^ - w- ment. That does not constitute grounds for an appeal. Sea sickness can be cured ; this idea has obtained favor here. They will give employment to the needy, if the situation demands such action. The prospects for the coming musical season are unusually brilliant, a number of concerts of unusual excellence having already been announced, and additions to these will be made as the season advances. This is a matter for congratulation. There is no surer indication of this fact than the greatly increased number of high class musical evenings which it is now our privilege to enjoy. An enormous develop- ment of musical intelligence has characterized the past ten years. He came to found a college, but the project fell through. Trouble has arisen over his arrest on sus- picion of being implicated in revolutionary plots. The arrest was effected at night. The lawyer who figured so prominently in the scene in court was in a great huff. A sensation has been caused here by an incident which occurred in connection with the assizes. He remon- strated against his abusive manner. He warned him that such language must cease. His temper has not abated. Do it yourself, was the abrupt reply. The city came near being the scene of a lynching. When they had fully comprehended the situation a howl of indigna- tion went up from the hundreds that had gathered around him. What else would have happened it is not difficult to predict. He bowed his acknowledgment of the compliment offered him in saying that his pre- sence added dclat to the ceremony. He was agreeably pleased at the manner in which everything passed off. It is denounced as a job. It was a brilliant affair and lar- gely attended. People sustained by wise counsels and tenacity of purpose. The statement is absolutely with- out foundation. He is well known in business circles, and was casually introduced to them. The trial which will soon be proceeded with has already occupied the time of the Court. He is very indignant about his lo.ss ; but is at a loss to ascribe any motive which would lead the perpetrator to commit the deed. Though his health is failing he will resis*- to the death. I am hopeful of pardon. They speak in hopeful terms of the outlook for a reprieve. There are some further proceedings pending in his case probably with a view to reprieving him. He came at my urgent request. A series of rob- i •*-^4^ ■1 f*.'^ 397 — %«. berieH cle^'erly planned and carried out. That is his mode of operation. He has been made a party to the suit. He refuses to say more on the subject of his dis- covery. No further particulars are obtainahie. The oil acts as a medium to reestablish the patient's health by its inherent healing powers. From a reliable source I learn that the result has unfortunately proved fatal. Their fees are vated in proportion to I'iheir abilities. The organization came into existence during the darkest period of English history. The premises are totally inadequate. They are proceeding with the erection of a permanent building. Give him a chance to vindicate his character by a prompt contradiction. The forbea- rance of the people from the expression of their feelings against him is malignantly misconstrued. The journey was without incident ; but it abounded in lake and rock scenery, and the people were apathetic. The heartless lover did not appear : This led to inquiries. A sensa- tional scene ensued. She is undecided as to her action for redress, but her case will be taJcen up by some friends and worked out to the bitter end. I backed his assertion by an affidavit. Not more than a dozen were in their seats at the hour .set for the opening of the ses- sion. His remarks reflect injuriously upon me. This fact proves that it is not a preventive as the other lymph is, which is obtained by a difficult process. He refuses to answer any questions as they interfere with the pro- gress of his experiments. It is >x long standing case. He would have remained silent if his success were not assur- ed. I am in his confidence in the matter. They are on the look out for him. He deprecated taking any step to obtain other water until the fact of the water not being pure was established by a nroper series of analysis. I am of a similar opinion. The q \estion under discussion was the advisability of offering premiums for the best suggestion of obtaining purer water. The campaign undertaken to exact reparation for his murder appears to be about over. It will be your fault if things don't work smoothly. They offer to establish the cooperative system if the details can bs agreed to. He feels he should be restored to actual public life with responsi- bility worthy of his ability. The result of a series of conferences is that he will do so in the event of a change of government. Diptheria is epidemic. As it stands, 20 — 298 ^'V they are all EngliHh. That represents the feeling of the great hulk of the people. His appointment provoked a storm of criticism. The haste with which the position has heen filled makes it appear as though it were done for that purpose ratlier than with a view to preventing somt' such «lire contingency as the water running in an- other direction. The fact that his appointment has heen hastily made ought not to prevent the engineer getting a fair trial.

He has risen in the estimation of the fair sex in Washington and vicinity. Interest in the case continues to increase, and speculation is rife as to the chances of having his sentence commuted to imprison- ment. The strain on his nerves is great. To meet the pressure I will do my utmost. They are gradually being worked into a >tate of extreme excitement by the new craze. Funds are pouring in. No man in his senses would suppose so. Other centres of the work are about to be established, which work will be extended in circles radiating from the original centre. His promptness in entering upon the undertaking has produced a good im- prf*ss?on. He is putting in operation the great enter- prise of redeeming the unfortunate masses. The fight was occasioned by their taking umbrage at some action on his part. He is held up to reprobation as an immoral man who instilled vicious principles into their minds. It does not meet the moral requirements of the present age. Such an expression is worthy of a sage. He is the sworn foe of all excess. It will exert a beneficial influence on the mind. Manifestly, what is chiefly wanted in education is the right aim : given that, all necessary things will be added. It could be made subservient to the development of character. They are put down as spies. I learned the sad intelligence front private sources. I have no de.sire to impose myself upon the citizens as mayor. He was received in a very curt way. I at once surmised the nature of their errand. He .shrinks from admitting that he played the cowardly part of killing him ; but he maintained his nerve. That impairs its efl'ect. To sustain the unholy procedure of courts before which men are arraigned for exercising their constitu- tional rights. They met in wordy warfare, and crossed logical swords over a knotty question of political eco- nomy. He referred to the possibility of Asia being the scene of future hostilities. The affair (duel) is the result of his criticism. They enjoy the enviable reputation of working together in singular harmony, so the contem- plated changes will not give rise to any friction. His last chance is gone. This impression has been confirmed by the action of the government, which in capital cases is invariably guided by his recommendation.
