Popular Phrases.
The lriit‘ old saying, " Every dog has his
day," aptly npplios to our subject of popular
phrase.- They spring up suddenly, play
their purl, achieve a ccr‘uin degree of popu-
larity, and then are lost sight of. No one
knows where they come from, or how
they go. Their existence is generally short,
springing up with some particular event or
circumstance, and when it is forgotten the
term which expressed its signification drops
out of use. The success or popularity which
accompanied them is only temporary and
short duration.
The most active agents in circulating and
diffusing these phrases and words are the
wild boys of the stream, commonly called,
the " street Ara ," end the minstreis. Both
act in their respective spheres, but in an en-
them among themselves, and they gradually
extend to other classes, while the same time.
and by their successive repetition cause them
to “ take.“ Stump speakers also play a
prominent part in the diffusion of these
phrases. There amnumqrous other ways by
which they are circulated and rendered pop~
ulur. but those just mentioned are the most

cdullse ddthen died out, being scarcely ever
bind now: -
“ Hunky Dory” m always proved a tu-
write expreuion, ma seems to be an Ameri-
canism. Its derivation is rather obscure and
very little known. The following, I think,
is the‘tme one: Hunk was the term used by
buys a. century ago in their play for a goal,
and is still in use to this day, pafliculurly in
the game " tug." To be “hunk” or “.1!
bank," was therefore to have reached the
gm] without being interrupted by the op-
posite side. The word finally became cor-
rupt to hunky, 'which means in will!
plteseoiogy. “ ull right." The “ duty" at-
tacbed was subsequently added, end ieprob-
uflv a modification of the French word dam,
moaning gold.
“ Sound on the goose" is a phrase of simi-
lar huport, which wee very popular in the
Smth, meaning to be orthodox on.the slave
question. Another is “ up to snuff." an old
English phrase, which means knowing,
sharp, wide awake. There is also 0. K., an
abbreviation for all correct, improperly
spelled Oil Korrekt, whose origin is some-
whm simtlnr to that of u U. S. A. Govern-
ment ofllciui who being very illiterate was
nccus turned to alga the documents which
came under his notice with his name, and to
show that they were all right added the
words “Oil Korrekt," which were in time
abbreviated to O. K.
Policemen have received numerous nick-
names, and a streetrboy is scarcely ever
heard to mention one by the above title, but
calls him a “cop“ or a “ peeier," and shouts
in his comrades when he sees one coming to
“ cheese it," “ stew it," or “ lay low.” Cop
the addition of “ or" is formed inwapersom
silly as copper. an old London term for a
policeman. When Sir Robert Peel intro-
duced the new police in England they were
called “ pecltrs,“ which has emigrated to
this country and become engmfted in our
stock. “ Cheese it“ is a corruption of “cause
it," it» leave off or to hold onc’s noise.
A “ dead beat" is a pemon who is com-
pleteiy worn out or done for, and his effects
are said to be “ up the spout," or “ inhock,"
or at his “ uncle‘s," where they have been
. placed to “ raise the wind," or “ whistle up
the breeze." “ Up the spout" originated in
a pawnbroker‘s shop, where the spout is the
elevator by which goods are received from
the ground floor to the lofts. The “ beat."
is often heard to sigh for “ old times rocks,”
when he was “ some pumpkins" or a “ big
thing on ice," and was able to “ step up to
the captain‘s office and settle" like “ any
other man," and was culled a “ bully boy
with the gins eye” by the “ b'hoys." He
ran “ ith the “ machine," 100 and was always
ready to go the “ whole bog or none“ when
“ everything is lovely and the goose hangs
high." But he went to “light mic Sigcl," and
having, “seen the elephants," and returned
without any “stamps," for be lost. all his
“ spomiulicks" in “ fighting the tiger,"
which finally “settled his bush."
Almost all lhc populur English phrases
find their way to this country, and are re-
ceived in this country with open mouths by
that class of people known under the bend
of vulgar, The reverse however, isnotequul-
ly uue, for the English do not adopt many
of our popular phrases. A few lave been
carried there in various ways, and are“ cut-
n-m (‘oiu;" but the great majority lase their
point when they leave our shores.

The Wit-ling Business for the past you.
The New Redford Standard of 16th inst,
contains a full and elaborate review of the
whale fishery for the yen-1871, which shows
grearfalling off in the amount. of. tonnage
and the capital employed in the business.
The present high price of oils, consequent
upon the great Arctic disaster, in: stimulat-
ed the fitting out of a few ships lute in the
season. which otherwise would not have
sailed. But taking the year through, only
one vessel has been added to the whaling
fleet of the country, while seventytwo have
been lost or otherwise withdrawn.
Six ships have been wrecked, (three of
them in the ice) twenty-six others were abun-
doncd in the ice, three condemned imfoveigu
ports, three soldto parties in foreign pot-u,
thirty put into other business, and three old
ships broken up. The whole' Aurel-iota
whaling fleet now numbers twenty-four
‘ships, one hundred and forty-eight harks,
twelve brigs, thirty-nine schoonm; total,
mo hundred and twenty-three vessel;
The Arctic fleet next season, so far as
known. will consist of only twenty-three
vessels. Five are how wintering in Cum-
berland Inlet or Hudson's Bay. There has
been little success on the Tristan mu Deso-
lation grounds, and the elephant fishery it

powerful hand showed the strength neces-
weary to beer his burden,which as e mmyr

was the patron saint of the Scotch people,
and bore the name of their beloved Martyr
St. Andrew. «This picture was purchued
by at Liverpool merchant prince and ahead
in his gallery, unknown to his wife, who,
coming upon it unexpectedly, awooncd in
its presence, believing 11:6":th cud eya

and the fancied she could almost hear
his labored breathing under the weight of
his burden. The picture was immediately
taken from the walls and placed in the
hands of an art dealer for sale. Hem it
was soon discovered and purchased by an
English gentleman of some means. and
thoroughly antiqurian in his tastes, who at
once recognized the rare art portrayed that
time could not efl'ace. Some years since
this gentleman came to dwell in America,
bringing with him numerous articles of wrtu
and among them this veritable art treasure.
His lines were cast in the fur VVest.—
Through some mismanagement, in luck and
sickness, his little fortune snort melted away,
and in 1871 he was forced to part with some
of his treasures to procure his daily bread.
Much that was invaluable to him was but
trash in the eyes of the muse. Here a lady,
(Mrs. C. H. Church, relative of the artist
Church,) saw the picture and became its
possessor. She bore it to her home in Chi-
cago, where it. was sharply criticised, but
means to catch. and also to beware. and by tunnel-sally endorsed by men of art. A few
weeks before the distressing calamity to
that ill fated city she fortunately brought
her treasure to Boston, where again it bore
VlCiOI'lOtisly the kecncst criticism from the
most reliable artists and art critics in the
country. It was then placed in the bands
of the late Mr. Howarth for restoration.
lie pronounced it oueof the finest works be
had ever handled, and under his skillful
manipulation a new canvass was applied;
the dull, opaque appearance entirely disap-
peared, brilliant coloring camc- out, and the
sad, penetrating eyes became still more sad
and penetrating in their expression. Pre-
vious to Mr. Howarth’s death he gave the
picture into the hands of Mr. Sinclair, No.
36 Boylstou street, to be framed, where it
will remain a few days for the inspection of
art lovers who desire to behold a painting of
extraordinary attraction—Boston Plot.

A Ctxxmo BURGLAB.—Thc other even-
ing a young man named Hugh Mitchell stole
into the room of the colored woman named
Blanchard, living at the place of Mr. John
Long. and pocketed a gold watch, a gold
dollar, a bracelet and a breastpin. In at-
tempting to make his escape from the prem-
ises be was caught by a colored mun em-
ployed about the place. About three years
ago Mitchell was known here as a notorious
house breaker, and, although he was not
over sixteen years of age, he was quite suc-
cessful in his exploits, and practised his pro-
fession in a manner that was novel and pe
cuiiur. He raised a pet coou,and so trained
the animal that whenever his master would
put it down upon the ground it would run
immediately into the nearest house. Mitch-
ell would take his coon about the. street in
his arms, ostensibly for the purpose of show-
ing it 03‘, and when in front of a residence
that be Wished to enter, he would let it
dewn; in an instant the well-trained animal
would scamper off toward the bouse,and
its master would follow in pursuit. If there
happened to be an opening anywhere about
the building the coon was sure to find it and
enter the house at once. 01‘ course the peo-
ple of the house would allow the master to
come in after his pet, and while the family
and servants were lending a helping hand to
effect the capture of the runaway, Mitchell
would busy himself with every opportunity,
picking up little things here and there in the
rooms into which they passed after the slip-
pery little beast.
Mitchell kept up this smart little game
quite successfully for some time, but was
finally caught, and sent. to the penitentiary
for a term of three years About a month
ago he was pardoned out by Governor Les-
lie, dter remaining in the prison about one
year and a half. As soon as be was released
young Mitchell returned to Louisville, it
seems, to follow his old pursuits. He is
now only eighteen years of age, and made
quite a genteel appearance when brought to
First street station last night. ’ Doubtleas
this act will tend him M to the peniten-
tiary, and porhaps when he returns again to
the walks of honest men, he will heve
learned that honesty is the best policy.—
