Weitern Dialect.
. A letter written by a young Yankee
living in Indiana, thus refers to some of
the peculiarities of the Hoosier dialect.
He says: ,
Some one - ought to write a novel and
draw the characters and dialect of thi s re
gion. It would excel any version of our
Yankee tongue I ever saw. No one here
undertakes anything - individua s always
1. 1 too, we le
.figather hold." So, - have no
mean, low-lived citi ns; but tb, re is an
"extensive class of " r'nary puips," who
are worse than anytl ng I ever saw East.
One thing that atri -es a Yankee is that
no person ever , car es anything; he al
ways, "packs it:" o, too, no one is
"very well, thank you," but is always
"right smart," or "quite well." No one
attends to matters at once, but always
"after a bit" or "a little." If a man
wants to express himself with a moderate
swear, be says he will "be doggoned,"
whatever that mayiibe. Nor do we have
(my guesses here; every one, "reckons."
and "expects." In describing a fracas,
the regular Hoosier. says, "They done
gone fit for an hour." On inquiring for
any one, you are told "I havn't saw
him," or 'I disremember when I saw
him last." We have no ten-cent curren
cy here; it is all "dime." We have no
old settlers here, but some very aged
"residers."
People very often say, when excited
and want, to blow off steam,
"darn my
cats and dogs," or "dog my cgs," and it
seems to relieve their feelings wonder
fully. When we speak of a crowd, it is
of the "whole biling." So when we get
through any sharp transaction, it is al
ways, "I made the riffle," and when we
get a fellow in a spot out of which he can
not very well slip, we have the , "dead
wood on him," or the "dead open and
shut." When friends get vexed, they
"sour on each other." A. good fellow
always has "his head level," and will "do
to tie to." When people • approve your
course, they tell you "you're mighty
right," or else, "now you're talking."
If one wishes to surprise you by a de
scription, it is always "the biggest kind
of a thing." When a poor chap is sub
ject to fits, he endures another misfor
tune in being "fitified." When you ac
count for anything that was before mis
understood, you are comforted by the as
surane,e that it is "that-a-way, is it?" I
have scribbled enough for you, especially
as the dinner-bell has "been done rung"
for some time. •
A Legend of Massachusetts Superstition.
In the history of Gloucester, just writ
ten by Mr. Babson, he tells a legend of
Peg. Wesson, a reputed witch. In the
year 1745 a company of soldiers were en
listed in Gloucester,• as a part of the force
destined to operate against the French
fqrress of Louisburg, Cape Breton.
~orcte it)f these men, before their depar
trire, by semeirnearis provoked old Peg
g's wrath that she threatened vengeance
upon them. While in camp there a crow
'liras observed hovering overhead in rather
a singular manner. Several• shots were
fired at the bird without effect, when one
of them thought it might be Peggy, and
if so, he knew that common lead would
have no effect upon her. So he took a
pair • of. silver. , sleeve buttons from his
wrist, dropped them into his gun, and
let her have it. The charmed missile
went direct to the,mark, without regard
to correctness of aim, or distance. The
bird fell, wounded in the leg, and was
soon despatched. They afterwards learn
ed that at the exact moment when the old
crow fell, old Peg fell in or near her
house on Back Street, with a broken leg.
And more wonderful still, on an examina
tion of -the fractured limb, the identical
sleeve buttons that were tired at the crow
under the walls of Louisburg, were found
imbedded in the flesh. Another version
of this story was to the effect that a'siege
train of heavy artillery was placed in-po
sition and m readiness to-open fire, when
the crow was obaerved flying back and
forth, pausing over one gun and then
over another, and not a gunlcould be
"got off." The match was extinguished: -
or' he powder would flash in the pan,
until the bird, was brought down.
Strange as it may seem, this weird tale
was very generaliy received as truth, and
it was believed by many down to a much
later date. •
What the Cubans are Fighting For.
The Cubans, if we may credit- their

Representation,
Severance of Church and State, and
General`emancipation.
Every one of these are principles tra
ditionally dear to the Amerman people,
and ends which we have been taught
to believe just causes of war.
Cubahas today no representation in
the Spanish Cortes, and never has had.
She has not been 'offered even that con
structive representation with which we
were sought to be deluded in colonial
times. She has no voice in' determining
the amount or the method of collection of
the taxes which she must -raise. These
taxes, again' are not invested nor spent
for her benefit; nor has she any power
orally kind oyer them. She is , simply
the coffer of the Spanish throne.
The consequences of this disability are
those which have alwaYs followed It, and
are not few:
A burdensoine standing army weighs
down and iinpoyerishes the island.
The rule of the Captain General is ab
solute and arbitrary.
The exercise of the right of petitition"
has bein followed by expatriation and.
imprisonment.
The corporate association of the people
for the purposes of science, art, or com
merce has been'discountenanced and
peded.
The ports of the island have been closed
to foreign, shies, for the purpose of are:
iting a monopoly for Spanish bottoms..
- But why enumerate a lenittiening list
of evils , 7 • Folthis cattaeal9ne-7taxation

taken.—The Reitolution in Cuba, in the

NEW -MORTON,. PAs
Water Power, BtudnesaAdvantagee,tirx.
['Correspondence of the Pitt•burgh Gazette.)
NEW BRIGHTON, Feb. 19, 1869.
In my last, which appeared a week
ago, I promised to show in my next the
business advantages of this place.
These are owing mainly to the water
power afforded by the falls in the Beaver
river, and the railway facilities. Our
water power and advantages are not
equaled within' hundreds of miles, and
perhaps not surpassed in the country.
The water falls upwards of fifty feet, over
a rocky bed, in running about two miles.
It is controlled by three dams. The
lower one Opposite New Brighton backs
water abent three-fourths ot a mile, the
second about one mile; and the third
about seven miles.
The lower dam was rebuilt in a sub=
stantial manner abour eighteen months
ago, at a cost of $20,000, including race
repairs. The water is equally divided
between the two sides of the river, and
there - are about the same number of
manufactories at each side. At present
I will- refer to those properly in New
Brighton.
FACTORIES AND MILLS. USING WATER
POWER
Pioneer Flax Mil/A.—Bently (it Gerwig,
manufacturers of twines, carpet warp,
flax and tow yarns, consume about one
hundred tons of material annually, some
Of which is brought from Europe, but
mostly home production. They employ
about fifty-five hands. It is the only es
tablishment of the kind west of the
Mountaiz a.
- Union Planing Mills do all kinds of
carpenter work, scroll sawing, turning,
placing, etc.

business.
Scouring and Refinishing Establishment.
--Buckley.cit Bradbury clean and rem
ish all kinds of wearing apparrel, cur
tains, etc. They have a large , business,
mainly from . Pittsburgh and Allegheny,
where they have agents, who make
transfers. every Wednesday.
Kennedy's Sawmill, capable of doing
a large business, draws from the - same
dam.
The above mills have one-half the
water power controlled by the lower
dam, the other half is taken to the other
side of the river, of which we will speak
in an article on Faliston, which lies over.
the river frow New Brighton, and in a
business .view, is a part of it, the mills
being owned by New Brighton men.
During ten-twelfths of the year, not
one-half of the water is used.
Besides the above water power mills
we have the Keystone Foundry, Mer
rick ik Co., who manufacture cooking
and parlor stoves, grate fronts, and all
kinds of castings.
.Ebtlery Workz.—Elverson & Fisher,
manufacturers of Rockingham and
Brown ware, Fisher's self-sealing fruit
lars, and common sealing jars - with tin
ids. Also, garden and greenhouse
flower pots, at the rate fifteen thousand

pipes, etc. Clay and coal, of the best
quality, on the ground, which is owned
by Eph. Smith, Esq. •
Fire Brick and K. Chamber
lain & Co. make about one million of
brick annually. (To be continued.) . C.
THE TURKISH LANGUAGE. Max
Muller, the great philologist, appears to
be delighted with the Turkish language.
In one of his lectures. e declares that the
ingenious manner in which its numerous
grammatical forms are presented must
strikeeVery one who has a taste for that
wonderful faculty of the human mind
which reveals itself in speech.' "Here is
a language t " says he, "of such transpa
rent construction that we can study is
inner workings . as we watch the progress
of cells in a bee-hive." Another dis
tinguished authority is equally enthusias
tic on the same subject: - "We might take
the Turkish language for the scientific
result of some learned body, but no such
society could have been able to invent
what the mind of man has produced in
the isolation of the Tartar steppes, only
prompted by its own laws or by an in
stinctive poWer which is as marvellous as
any. in. nature." Yet this is the language
which is pcipularly regarded us barbarous
and utterly incapable of improvement.
ONLY three of the seven Executive De
partments at Washington employ women
clerks. Blic thousand clerks, paid about
$9,000,000 per annum, are attached to the
seven Departments, and of this large'
number< only six hundred are women.
In the Treasury Departments over 3000
clerks are employed, 500 of whom are
females. The clerkships of the men are:
ditided into' four classes. The !Owed
class, styled the first; receive $l2OO per
annum; the second, $1400; the third,
$1600; the fourth, $lBOO, while,the salary ,
of a chief clerk is $2OOO and upwards.
The women, however, only receive $9OO
per annum,',the salary being fixed at one.:
half the aveiotge compensation paid to
male clerks.
Is the far west of the United States,
Mr. •Dieke, vvhile sitting at dinner in a
miner's restaurant in Nevada, was told
W his opposite neighbor, who found he
Vas from England, that he was "the inde
pendent editor of the ,Nevada Union
Gazette." He then went on to ask:
"And how might you havu left littera
tooral pursoots? How are Tennyson
and Thomas C. Carlyle?" When Mr.
Dicke said he believed these eminent
writers were well, his new acquaintance
observed, "Guess them ther men ken
sling ink, they ken."

ECONOMY BUTTER CO.
ask - the attention of-all interested in the reduc
tion of the'extravag ant cost of Butter, to their
practical and economical system of making pure
prime Butter by the aid of the .
EXTRACT-OF BUTTER PLANT.
A brief alinsion'to the origin of this !me ortant
dtscovez y may nut proie uninteresting. Among
the authenttcated records of the renowned Cap
tain. Cook's voyage around the world, Is found
the statement, that while sojourning fora short
time on the Brazilian Coast of South America, he
obseried the natives using, in the preparation of
their food, a necnllar oil, which, upon examina
tion. he found to possess the appearance, taste
and flavor of Butter; upon further Inquiry, how
ever, he ' ascertained that it was simply a sub
stance that the natives distilled ima crude and
imperfect manner, from a rich and luxuriant
plant that grew spontaneously and abundantly In
that warm tropical country. A few 3 ears ago,
an eminent French chemist, while on a profes
sional visit to the tropics, made numerous exper
iments with this remarkable production of na
ture, and succeeded in extracting a concentrated
essence of the plant. The formula for its prepa
ration, and the Sole Right fnr Its sale in this
country are the exclusive property of this Com
pany, by whom it was purchased from the origi
nal discoverer. We claim for this remarkable,
yet simple and perfectly harmless preparation—
lts.—That by its use a net gain of from 50 to 200.
per cent. Is made In the manufacture of Butter.
Rd.—That Butter, which from age or whatever
cause, may be strong, rancid, streaked or
coarse•grained, and comparatively useless for
general use, by the aid of this Extract, is re
stored to its original freshness and sweetness,
fine-grain, and even color.
3d.—By the use of this Extract, one pound of
delicious, fresh Butter is netuallymade fro a
one plat of milk,
4th.- : —That a pure e ana excellent table Butter can
be made, at n cost of from 15 to 20 c nts per
pound. The chief expense wherein being But-
ter, which is the essential Dais.
50s.—That •Butter manufactured by the aid of
this Extract Is eqiial;ln every respect to the best
Butter made by the ordinary method.
6th.-The Extract after ttorough analysis, by
able chemists, is pronounced perfectly . free from
any deleterious substance.- he ingredients be-
Ing purely of a vegetable nature.
Bth.—ln proof of .he foregoing assertions, the
factory of this company is making one ton of
Butter Per day, which meets with ready sate
in/the NuivTork Mrrket. and Is consumed from
the tables of the first Hotels; Restaurants and
Private families in this city and elsewhere.
A sample package of the Extract (sunicient to
make 50 lbs. of Butter) with full erections for
use, will'be sent to any address on receipt of Sl.
CAUTION.—As articles of real merit arr• sub
ject to spurious imitations, we would specially
caution the public against counterfeits and worth
less imitations, advertised as powders, com
