Alterations free HUMORiSTS ODD GRAMMAR CapisTn Derby Provided Literally For Figurative Expression Among the pieces which made up the quaint output of Captain Derby whose too early death deprived Ameri ca of one of the most original humor ists was one entitled A New Sjstiiu of Engish Jrauimur It seems never to have attracted much attention but though there are in the volume con taining it articles more broadly amus ing there are none in which wit and wisdom are more fully blended After the lapse of years the exict words and the particular illustrations employed escape me in part but the line of rea soning adopted will not vary material ly from what is about to be given The humorist proposed to have all descriptions and epithets marked on a sufficient scale of comparison wot the beggarly three to which we are now limited but to a number large enough to indicate every variation of charac ter in the object under consideration and every possible degree of human conception in regard to its nature The lowest conceivable amount of any hu man quality consistent with its being at all would be indicated by 1 Its maximum would be represented by 100 Here then would be a wide range between the perfection of the idea expressed by the one number and Its bare existence merely implied by the other as well as the feelings of the speaker about it in which all shades of thought and feeling would be fit tingly represented By prefixing to each epithet a figure between 1 and 100 the precise truth in regard to it as it appears to him uttering it would be conveyed to him hearing it For ex ample you are asked about your health Instead of replying pretty well tolerably well very well or some other ambiguous expression you would say bearing in mind that 100 indicates perfect health I am 15 or 50 or 75 or 90 well or any other number as the case may be By this means the in quirer learns definitely what he wants to know lie has not been put off with formulas of speech whose general ap plicability to different conditions of bodily health conveys nothing precise to the mind The moment this meth od of expression comes into general use we shall speedily become exact mathematical truth telling in the high est degree How well the rule would work can be best illustrated by the narrative of a simple incident of news communicat ed by a man to his friend in some such words as these On a 70 fine morning I was 55 slowly walking down the 33 clean ave nue when I chanced to meet the 22 young and S5 charming Miss Smith about whom you ask We at once ex changed the 91 usual meteorological observation It Is a 7G beautiful day I remarked Indeed it is a 95 beauti ful day she renlied and I am 97 glad loTnifvo met you for It Is a Ion time since I have seen you I felt 77 flattered by words like these coming from a 79 Iovel3 girl but proceeded to make the 71 usual Inquiries about her health for I knew that on that point you had been S9 anxious She told me in reply that it had been 78 poor but she was 1C0 glad to say that it was now S7 good Professor J E Louns bury in Harpers Magazine A Large Salary Mr X a prominent lawyer of Phil adelphia was much addicted to the habit of lecturing Lis office staff and the office boy came in for an unusual share of admonition whenever occa sion demanded and sometimes when it did not That his words were appre ciated was made quite
