The new Century dictionary has made an unfortunate blunder in recognizing recog-nizing and defining the word "Sheeney." The word is nothing but a bit of groe slang, and the editors of tho work could consistently have passed over. But since they chose to rocord it, they ou?ht to have given it its right place iustead of defining it as "A sharp fellow; fel-low; hence a Jew." The matter has been taken up by the Jewish scholars and it is likely that a correction of the error will bo brought about.
