Common Pbrases in the Far West. In a mining canap in California, when a man tenders you a„." smile," Or invites you to take a "blister," it is etiquette to say: "Here's hoping your dirt'll in out gay." 111 Wateho, when you, are requested to " put in a alast," or invited to take your "regular potson," etiquette admonishes you to tquch glasses and Say, "Here's hoping you'll strike it, rich on the lower level." ' In lionolule, when your friend; the whaler, asks 'un to have "fin.", with him, it is simply etiqutte to say, " Here's eighteen huildred bar- rels Old Salt" But "drink hearty,' • is'universal, This is the orthodox reply all the world over. The sentimental method of ask- ing a person to drink is in the for- mula : " Suppose we shed a tear.' There is a frequent toast in some places, which seems to contain ton- siderable' truth, viz : '‘Well, here's another nail in my coffin." On the Mississippi river they take a very • practical view of the ceremony, arid say to their friends, "Wont you come in and wood tip?" thus iniply- ing that -Strong potions supply the fuel of life. •' In cholera times a false notion prevailed that imbibition would pre- vent one from, taking the disease, and a popular style of invitation was " Let's disinfect." This may as well be offset by. a mention of the west- ern bar -room salute, " Won't you hist in some pizen ?" The last form, however,is almost too strictly correct and literal in its character to be ap- propriatein this article. The Clinton Weathercock. (From the Huron Signal.) • In a well known old, Old story, Bunyandescribes a shuffling indi- vidual as one whose- "grandfather was a waterman, looking one way and rowing the other." •We don't ,wish to asperse the ancestors of the editor Of the ./Vew Era, but if he did' not inherit the capacity of blowing .hot and colct in alternate -breaths, by natural generation, he ceitainiye for one who has not yet reached more than middle life, shows wonder- rful proficiencyin thatiespect. There is nothing to which we can compare - the l%7-' e'w Era but one of those stib- Iime metallic roosters, that crown the cupolas of a good many public building, which, fixed to a pivot, turn their tails in the direction from which the breeze blows, though the wind should chop and change twen- ty times in twenty-four hours. -The New Er- a, since it came under -its present control, has been conspicu- ous for only one invariable quali- ty, viz: Pecicsniffian pedantry. It has a wonderfully " canny " way of ha.ndfing local(' questions, until. it thinks it understands public opin- ion and ,an extraordinary ability to unblushingly veer around and swal- low all it has previously advocated, when it finds it is not the oracle of the majority. In a public journal, consider such vacillation- merits the execration of every ingenuous man. We do not claim any surpass- ing excellence for the Signal, but we do claim that we hbnestly form and fearlessly express our onicraions,, Fhether we are in the majority or the minority, and that we cannot pander for popularity like the Clin- ton Weatkercock. When we are convinced that we are wrong, we are willing to confess it, not beford. Everybody knows the disgust with which the residents of Clinton both -"market ' and"no market" vie- eci the poses plastiques and acrobatic feats exhibited by the New Era when the market question was being discussed. No one turned up tail more prominently and crowed, more lustily for a market than did the Weathercock when it first advocated the acheme and cited the price at which Goderich and Seaforth market fees were rented. as a means of pay- ing off the debt :to be incurred. When it found that there were two sides to the question, and that the sentiments of that energetic village were pretty equally divided,. ,there was such a pitiable exhibition of temporizing, trimming, backing out and eventual roosting "on the fence;" as w(abelieve even the oder- ich Star was never guilty of. It is the seme on the Gravel Road ques- tion At the beginning of the cam- paign. the Weathercock congratulated the press of the County on its unan- imity and, added its cold and Cau- tious mite in aid pf the object. ' By and bye it began to " wiggle" and retreat, and then out it came after the vote had been, taken, "flat-footed" and )9 ounclering to denounce thec_By- la.w" and pat on the back the oppon- ents of Free Roads for no other reas- on than that they were in the majoriy Ly.
