A LANGUAGE IN EMBRYO
THE OREGON TRADE LANGUAGE: OR
CHINOOK JA$GON. BY HORATIO
HALE, SII. A. LONDON; WHIT-
rARER. 1890.
Psychologists are accustonleds
to wish that it were possible to
obtain a record of the progress of
an infant's mind during the first
twelve or sixteen months of its
existence, before speech begins,
to enable it to reveal its ideas to
others, for a knowledge of this
progress would settle many of
the questions which have most
occupied and divided the wise.
So philologists may regard with
interest the beginnings of a lan-
guage, even when that language,
is a mere composite jargon, a sort
of conglomerate formed by frag-
ments of different strata swept
down together and consolidated
under pressure into a durable
form. This little volume by Mr
Horatio Hale gives a short but
instructive anu interesting ac-
count of such a language, which
after some sixty or seventy years
ofgrowth, took its present, and
apparently its permanent, shape
fifteen or twenty years ago. Its
history resembles in some points
that of the 'pigeon English' of
China, but is more curious, be-
cause the contributory sources are
in the present cane more minter -
0118.
u ter-0us.
Early in this century, the trad-
ere frequent the Columbia River
in Oregon, and the const to the
north as far as Nooika Sound,
began to use in their intercourse
with the natives a few nouns
drawn from two or three of the
Indian lauguages of the const.
They did not, its has been the
case in SO MC other parts of the
world, learn any ono Indian lan-
guage and make it at linguae flan

tongues differ very greatly among
themselves, and each of them is
spoken over rely limited area.
13y degrees, certain French words
found their tray in front the
months of Canadian vnyngears,
and somo other words wei o creat-
ed by onomatopoeia, or accidently
ail when the word pelton was
taken to mean 'silly' or 'foolish,'
because the Indians at Astoria
were surprised by the behaviour
of a poor lunatic who happened
bear that as his surname. Th
there grew up a vocabulary,whi i
in 1863 comprised about five hi
tired words. of wnich the Chino k
language furnished nearly o e•
half, viz, 221 ; French, 94 ;
lish, 67; the Indian Salish or Flet
h3ad dialects, 37; and the Nootkii
dialects, 24; f.lte balance being the
result of onomatopoeia, or of some
change. Of course many French
and English words have been so

front the French pais, used to
mean `and,' 'but,' 'or,' 'then;' and
epose or pos, for a contraction of
English 'suppose.' need to mean
'if:'
The genitive or possessive ease
in nouns is expressed by the posi-
tion of the principal to the depen-_
dent noun. Tenses are generally
lett to be inferred from the coo
text, but Sometimes the sense is
eaked nut. by an abverb, while to
forst the future, a word meaning
wish op desire may be added as a
sort of auxiliary. The verb 'to be'
is not used, the mere juxtaposition
of the other words being sufficient
as,hyaa oleman mika house (much
otd t by house). Tho person pro-
noun, become possessive when
prefixed to nouns—thus, mike,
•thou,' is also 'thine.' Tb ere
is no relative pronoun; sometimes
it i$ understood from the form of
the sentence, sometimes the inter-
rogative fills its place,
It may be thought that a ran-
gt.age with only 478 words,
which is the number wo find in
the present vocahulary(that given
in another dictionary of the lan-
guage which we possess, publish-
ed in British Columbia in 1877,
being 503), must be wholly in-
adequate to deal with any other
than the commonest ideas and
relations and needs of daily life.
We are told, however, that can do
a good deal more than the appar-
ent paucity of words would indi-
cate. It has a great power of
combination,
and can by formiag
compound words largely expand
its capabilities. For instance,
byes pusspuss (lit. •much cat') 18
'panther'; hyu house (lit 'many
houses') is 'town'; eole snass('cold
1 rain') is 'snow.' It possesses in
the verb inamook, 'to make or
cause', the lneans of expressing
many ideas for which no appro-
priate tingle words exist. Thus
inamook kumtuks ('make know'
denotes 'to teach'; inamook popo
lit. 'make blow', is to 'fire a gun'
mamook kloshe 'to make good '
can be mode to mean 'repair,'
'adorn,' 'heal'.
The author of this sketch adds
a curious detail. 'In the Jargon
a good deal is expressed by the
tone of voice, the look and the
gesture of the speaker. The In-
dians in general—contrary to
what seems to be a common opin -
ion, are very sparing of their
gesticulations. No language,
probably, require less assistance
from this source than theirs.
Every circumstance and qualifica-
tion of their thought are express-
ed in their speech with a minute-
ness which, to those .,accustomed
only to the languages of Europe,
appears exaggerated and idle—as
much so es the forms of the Ger—
man and the Latin may seem to
the Chinese. We frequently had
occasion to observe the sudden
change produced when a party of
natives, who had been conversing
in their own tongue, were joined
by a foreigner with whom it was
necessary to speak in the Jargon.
The countenances which had be-
fore been grave, stolid, and inex-
pressive, were instantly lighted
up with animation; the low, mo-
notonous tone became lively and
modulated; every feature was
active. the head, the arms, and
the whole body were in motion,
and every look and gesture be-
came instinct with meaning.'
The Jargon, which grew up
chiefly in Northern Oregon along
the banks of the great Columbia
River, is now no longer needed
there, forlthe Indians have almost
disappeared from a thoroughly
Americanised region. But it still
serves as the great medium of
communication between white
mon and natives along the coasts
of British Columbia and Alaska,
and seems likely to thrive there
for generations to come. This
little volume contains some cur-
ious specimens of simple native
ditties which have sprung up in
it, and of hymns which have been
composed in it by the missionaries
to whose labors we owe much of
what is known of the ethnology
and folk -lore of these regions. Its
capabilities for serious prose may

AN EXPRESSIVE WILL,
One of the meanest' men in
Harlem has made his will, w'lich
some day will be offered for pro-
bate. The testator sets forth his
peculiar views as follows:
'I declare this to be my last
will and testament. 1 claim to
be perfectly sound in body, but do
not presume to affirm that I am
sound in mind. Iwould not stuI-
titfy myself by setting up such a
pretention, I have about $60,000
of invested bonds. What a vast
amount of hypocrisy, sorrow and
falsehood I could buy with that
amount. I thought first of be-
queathing it to charity. But
what's the use. The greatest
benefactors of humanity aro war
and cholera. Besides, I owe a
debt of gratitude to my wife, who
lives I don't know where. She
rendered me great service in her
power—she abandoned me one
fine day and I never heard of her
since, In remembrance of this
rind act I shall make bet my solo
legetee; however, on the express
condition that she will remarry
at once. In this way I shall be
sure of knowing that my death
was regretted by one human
being at least.'
