THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1SCT. 'A ME RICA NJSMS' JN SUA KESPEA RE ora uosoiete in Fn gland In Vie In America. To the Keillors of the Evening Post: It ia well known that many words and ex jmiflnioiiB have been preserved, and are yet in common tine in America, which have be come obsolete in Jutland, or oontinue to be uned there only in certain localities. Such obsolete words and expression, whenever they occur in Shakespeare, are, of course, under stood at first sight by the American reader; While, to make them intelligible to the Koglish reader, they appear to require notes (often for tified with learning) by English editors. For the Bake of brevity these may be termed Shalespi are' ( Americanism ! even though he happened to make use of them a few years before the first English settlements in America. Of this class of words (1.) chare Is a familiar and otten-qvtoted example, and it is used twice by Cleopatra. If, as is likely, it was pro nounced in Shakespeare's time with the third Bound of a, choicer, then the change to chore would easily follow; and in this form the word Is in daily use in farmers' families in most of the Northern States. (2.) Thills, for the shafts of a wagon; as "thill-horse," for the shaft or wheel-horse; also, Jills, with the same meaning, as: "An you draw backward we'll put you i' the fills." Trtihm and Cressitla, III, 2. (U.) "I think thee now some common cus tomer." All's Well, V, 3. Customer pro perly means ono who buys or trades; but in Amerioan slang we olten hear, "loose custo mer," "hard customer," slippery customer," 'rough customer," etc. (4.) "My cake is dough." Taming the Shrew, V, 1. And "Our cake is dough on both Bides." Taming the Shrew, I, 1. One Eng lish editor remarks: "Thia is an obsolete pro verb, and its meaning is not now easily ex plained." But among people in this country who are in the habit of using proverbial ex pressions, there is not one more frequent and familiar; and it is well understood by all classes to signify "a loss of hope," disappointment, or the Failure of some plans or expectations. (5.) "Placket" and "placket-hole" are yet somewhat used in America; for 1 chanced not long ago to hear a lady giving some directions to her maid about "the placket-hole in her dress." My near relationship permitted me to ask an explanation. I was told that it was "the slit or opening in the upper part of the skirt, when it is made separate from the waist or body, for convenience in putting ou -r off." Three-quarters of a century ago there was much discussion among the editors and com mentators of Shakespeare about the true and practical signification of this so frequently used word in Shakespeare. But the fact just stated goes to prove that Steevens (Dr. John son's friend) was right, as I suspect he pretty generally was, when in earnest in discussing any mooted Shakespearian ques tion. (6.) " An envious sliver." Hamlet, IV, 7. "iVtver'Ain the moon's eclipse." Macbeth, IV, 1. " Will sliver and disbranch." Lear, IV, 2. The word "sliver" is yet known and used in America for a small splinter of wood. (7.) "Afeard" for afraid, fearful, or appre hensive. This word occurs some thirty times in Shakespeare's plays (see Mrs. Clarke's "Concordance"), and is there generally used by persons of high station. At the present day in this country it is often heard among uneducated persons of English descent. (8.) "Flaw," for a puff of wind or a sudden gust, occurs some half-a-dozen times, and is duly explained each time by one of the best English editors Singar; yet no cognate word is better understood in this country, nor oftener used, especially by those living near the seaboard or on our great lakes and rivers. (9.) "I cannot tell," is a phrase in vulgar use here with old people; and implies a puz zled feeling, or a state of stupid doubt or per plexity. It is explained in this sense by the English editor just named as, "I know not what to think of it." (10.) "Base tyke;" "Bobtail tyke." Tyke evidently meant a cur dog when Shakespeare wrote. I distinctly recollect that in my early years one of our native "help" was wont to call any one she was angry with "you ugly tyke." (11.) " Slyly finger'd from the leek." 3 Henry VI, V, 1. A similar use of the word "deck" for a pack of playing-cards is common at the present day throughout the Western and Southern States. (12.) "Petchy and wayward was thy in fancy." Richard III, IV, 4. This word is. also to bo found in two or three other passages in ShakeBpeare, and always applied to infancy, as peevish, fretful, and difficult to please. We now hear it used not only of children, but as often applied to grown people. (13.) "Thou crusty batch of nature." The word "crusty" is now more used in England than here, to mean cross or ill-tempered. The word "batch" is borrowed from the baker's shop, and is still used as a popular figure of speech in America, generally in a derisive sense, the same as in Shakespeare's text; and, when applied to persons, means that all are equally bad and contemptible. (14.) "There is not -a whittle in the unruly camp" Timon, V, 2. I do not know that we now ever hear a pocket-knife called a "whit tle;" but the practice of whittling is spoken of as an American characteristic. Hence the proverbial saying applied to a scheming but unsuccessful person: "Always a-whittling, but never making nothing." (15.) To quit, in the sense of to make even; and, also, to revenge. This word is so con stantly used with both these significations, that American readers muni wouuer a mwo to see it explained by an English editor, and we therefore infer that it must be going out of use there. ,, (16.) When I cried, ITot Like boys unto a ium." Antony and Cleopatra, III, 2. Muss is a familiar word to Americans, as meaning a slight brawl or disturbance. (17,) We first survey the plot," ' Fight for a plot, whereon the numbers . .' The word "plot" is probably oftener used with us than any other term to signify a building site, or any small parcel of land. (18.) "Moreover, puddings and Jlapjacks" were promised by the kind-hearted fishermen to the shipwrecked "l'rince l'ericles." "Flap jacks" are those broad, thin, and extempo raneously prepared cakes now called pan cakes, and consecrated in Old England to Shrove Tuesday, but which are yet known in Kew England by their Shakespearian name. (19.) "Thee I'll rake up." Lear, IV, C. "Where fires thon find'st unrak'd." Merry Wives, V, 5. To "rake up" simply meant to cover over lightly or hastily with earth or ashes. To "rake up the fire" couvre feu, and hence curfew will soon become obselete all the world over; and with it, perhaps, the altered word "hearth." It was, no doubt, as .,nmou as any uummim worn in onaiie sneare's time, when wooa was probably the only fuel nsed inland Rnd 'Wooal fire" -Lii Vnnwn to people of the seaport towns. Thirty years ago, in this country, before the "Li and bot-air furnaces, the last duty in ,vry farm-houiw and kitchen, before going to ibe th th bed, was "to rake up the lire,': fcy covering ie burning nrauas wnn asues, iu inomiuo em for lithtiDK a lire the next morning. And servants were liable to reproof for neglect of this duty the same as lu Jingiami (see Mtrry Wives of Windsor), as it was not only unsafe, but made it necessary to run to the neighbors in the morning to fetch live coals." ("'.) "But with a longer tether may he walk." To explain the moaning of the word "tether" to any American reader would be quite superfluous. (1.) "Hunts not the trail of policy so sure;" and "On the false trail they cry." It will be a long while generations or even cen turies, perhaps liefore the word "trail" ceases to be usel by Americans; but even now it seems that English readers of Shakespeare require to have its meaning explained to them. . (22.) "We will have, if this fudge not, an antic." To "fadge" continues to be used iu America as a somewhat vulgar synonym for to answer the purpose, to succeed, or to work well. This probably does not include all of the Americanisms, as I have ventured to term them, to be found in Shakespeare's plays, as I have only just noted such as attracted my at tention while occupied with a much more iin poitant and agreeable task. There are not only words, but also things and facts to be found in Shakespeare tvhich have become obsolete and nearly forgotten in England, but which we Americans have pre served and can readily understand at the pre- A ri'l i i ociiv uojr. uisre are, mueeu, many passages in Shakespeare reminding us that, at the time he wrote, England was comparatively a new country as America is at the present day. Thus, "Macbeth" says: "The mind I iwuy by, aud the heart I bear Shall never suyy with doubt, nor shake with feur." This truly sublime figure of speech comes from a homely source, being suggested by the necessary and almost . exclusive use of timber as a building material in a new country, not only for houses, but especially for bridges, as happens to be the case in America at the pre sent day. A piece of timber will "sagg" from the gradual effect of weight or pressure upon it; but it "shakes" or vibrates from the appli cation of some sudden and transient force. And this is also the different operation of doubt and fear on the mind. The first is a slow and lasting change, while the latter is only a momentary impression. Again, "Duncan's" horses are said to have "Turn'd wild In nature, broke their stalls, flung out. Contending 'gainst obedience " This was doubtless what is known in Ame rica by the Mexican word "stampede" a sort of panio which, from some cause, generally unknown, seizes upon horses and (more rarely) other domestio animals. It is probably unknown in England at the present day, and only happens iu parts of this country compara tively thinly inhabited as the far West and some Southeru districts. The same phenome non is referred to where "Cilendower" says: "The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds Were strangely clamorous to the frighted fields. " Again, of "Duncan's" horses: "Tis said they ate each other." This language, used of horses, sounds like a poetical exaggeration. Yet it happens to be true that horses, when loose and engaged in deadly conflict with each ether, only use their teeth, and aim to get at one another's throats, but never use their heels. They kick only when quarrelling, or when they are tied or hampered in some way. For the confirmation of this last statement I have the authority of the colonel of ono of our (regular) cavalry regiments, who was himself brought up on a horse-raising farm in Vir ginia, and who has since had thirty years' ex perience in United States frontier service. C. W. S. We nre here reminded that much of the material for poetry is likely to be destroyed by the chanaes rapidly eoIdk on In the customs and appliances of our domestio and every-day lile. Twenty years hence, when cast-iron cook ing ranges have wholly displaced the old mas sive brick ovens, this couplet may require ex planation: "And crickets sing at the oven's mouth, . As the blither for their drouth. 1'erielvs, Act III. Gower. For then, probably, no one will hear ami few remember ever to havd heard this evemug music, once familiar in every home. In like manner, and for the same reason, It may hp pen, after steel pens have been lu use a century longer, a note by some future editor of By run limy be needed to explain what he meant by his apostrophe to his "grey goose quill." The Rothschilds and the rope. For fifteen centuries the Jews have been cursed bv the Pope and persecuted by the Roman Church. There is no more revolting chapter of horrors in history than that of the treatment of the Jews at the hands of the Pon tiffs. In all lands where the Roman religion is dominant, the children of Israel have been treated with barbaric rieor allowed .few privt lepep. denied all rights, looked upon as a people accursed of God, and set apart by divine ordina tion to be trampled upon by the Church. In Rome, nt the present day, the Jews are confined to the Ghetto; they are not allowed to set up a shop in auy other part of the city with out a permit; they can encage oulyin certain trades, that are compelled to pay enormous Taxes into the Papal Treasury; they are subject to a stringent code of laws established by the ropp lor their especial government; they are iuifrisoned and fined for the most trivial offenses. They rannot own any real estate iu the city; cannot build, tear down, or remodel any dwell ing, or chauge their place of business, without Papal permission. They are lu abjert slavery, wnh no rights whatever, and entitled to no Ttrivileaes, and receive none, except upon the gracious condescension cf the Pope. in lortner times luey were uamorcmiiiy whipped, and compelled to listen once a week to the Christian doctrine of the privsn. But time is bringing changes. The Pope is in waut of money, and the bouse of the red shield has money to leud on good security. Tue house is always ready to accomraodnte Governments. Italy wants money, so she sells her line system ot railroads to the Rothschilds. The Pope wants money, so he sends his Nuncio to the wealthy house of the dcspiucd raje, offers them security on the property of the Church, the Campagna, and receives ten million dollars to maintain his army and imperial state. Thut was In 18C6. A year passes, and the Pontifical expenditure? are five millions more than the income, and the deficit is made up bv the Rothschilds, who take a second security at a higuer rate of interest. Another year is passed, and there is a third annual vacuum in the Paoal treasury ot six millions, which will quite likely be filled by the same house. - The Arm can do it with ease. When will the Pope redeem his loan at the rate he 1h poing 1 Never 1 Meanwhile the day is not far distant when these representatives ol a per secuted race will nave an the available property of the Church in their possession. Surely time works wonders. A Costly Newspapeb Wrapper. The Greenville (S. C.) Enterprise comes to us with a $1000 Confederate bond wrapped around it. Houston (Te-cas) Telegraph. A California railroad has paid $1000 for refusing a passenger's fare in greenbacks, and putting the tenderer of legal-tender out of the cars.
