Maurice Grau begins a season of opera bouffe at the Standard Theatre, New York, Sept, 23: Mme. Isabella Stone-Pond is to sing at 100 concerts with the Spanish Students in the West and South, beginning Sept. 75. Joseffy, the pianist, has had so. many appli- cations for his services and has given so Euay. managers encouraging answers that itis diffil- cult to say. what organization he will be with next season. Henry C. Jarrett has in. contemplation, as one of his next season's ventures, a new spectacular “Cinderella,” arranyed as an opera Louffe, for which he has engaged a company of English singers, with Max Maretzek us conductor. * Longfellow's “ Masque of Pandcra,” music by Cellier, which is to have its first representation at the Boston Theatre in December by the Blanche Roosevelt opera company, will be more of alyrical drama than an opera. The pest bas written u few new sougs for Misa velt, but otherwise the text will be sub- stantially unchanged. The poem is strikingly suited for the setting which the composer will + give it, and the tirst production of the new work Promises to be one of the leading events of the coming season. The “ Musical Phalanx,” the combination. an- nounced tor the coming season by Jarrett & Gulick, will include in its membership Miss Christine Dossert, an American lady, who bas" been singing in London the pust season; Miss Alice 31, Clark, a soprano; Miss Nellie D.

Burry; Jack Weatheral, a hussar, Percy J. Cooper; Christopher Carucole, the village fiddler, J.A. Gilbert. The opera is bright and enter- taining, and the excelicnce of the perfurmance is guuranteed by the above-mentioned names. Mrs. Barry has bad greut success in her imper- sonations, Mr. Cooper is well kuown in oper- atic circles _as a fine actor and singer. Miss Geraldine Ulmer is one of our most popular young sopranos, and is already tuking u high ace for her performances in opera.

There tere three brothers of the Jerome fam- ily, nll being at the same time engaged in stuck specuistion. They. came muny yexrs ago from the western part of the Stute,and one of the number (Addison) began in this city asa dry- jobber. He afterward got into Wall street and operated with varied success until re- moved by deuth, ‘The other brothers were Larry and Leongrd. The first made enuumous protts inn operation in Hudson River stucky which atone time was dowu to i. He was bucked by @ heavy amountotf capital, aud the movement ‘was one of the must successful ever known in Wall street. Like most of such profits, how- ever, it bas proved of an _ evanescent nature. Leonard Jerome was another lucky |‘ operator. During tho Rebell- jon he cleared enormous protts in the bull movement, being, as it 1s said, favored by telegrams from a well-known Union General announcing the ill success of the Feder@l forces. it is said that the latter sent the following dis- patch: “The boy is sick,” this meaning incipient ill suceess. The next messuge wus, “The boy is worse,” and soon afterward camo the significant message, “The boy is dend.” Each of these telegrams gave its recipient’un immense advantuge in the Exchange. The Jerome clique loaded itself, with stocks which, asso0n #S the disastrous news was published, apidly advanced. The “death of the boy” ‘meant the defeat of our forces and our shucking reeent wblek os reac ot our cena nay i al] ‘allows ¥ extraurdinury ad- yance Inthe price of gold. Alus, to think how sadly one-may look at that recent wreck of character Which awakens this reminiscence and recall the exclamation, * The boy is dead: Leonard Jerome utterward became deluded with the idea thut Pacific Mait was a desirable property for speculation. It bad risen from par ) 30), but wus then selling at 10. He boldir advanced the opiuion that it was really worth 200, and, to show his contidenee, he made a pur chase whose amount was sitiicient to either make ur break him. Jerome's tuck suddenly turned, and he lived to see Pacific Mall quoted Pa atl5. One of the most unfortunate features in this movement was the fact that many others followed his example. His success bad given his name 2 prestige which led his admirers to heavy losses, and in some cases to ruin itself. Ivis suid that, in view of approaching failure, Jerome conveyed his property to his wife, WhO has since then taken eare of him.- He also renched note as a sporting man, and his name was given to the popular racing-park. One of the lessons derived from the arrest of ‘oung Jerome is that any one findimy property ‘without reporting the discovery and sceking the owner is guilty of- larceny, and hence may be visited with severe penulti EGYPT. Antiquity of Its Literature and Its Re- ligion. Prof. Max Miller long ago spoke of the Rig Veda as belonging in certain parts to the’ earliest stages of human thought; but, un- less we throw back to a vast distance of tine the origin of Vedic literature, the literature of Egypt must take its place as beyond com- parison the most ancient in the world. The exodus of the Israelites cannot, ‘says M. Re* nouf, in his ‘Hibbert Lectures,” be withany probability brought lower down than the fourteenth century before the Christian era, while the Great Pyramid cannot be more re- cent than 3000 B.. 0. The maxims of Ptahho- tep belong to the age of the Pyramids, and therefore haye an antiquity exceeding by from fifteen to twenty centuries the highest claimed for the oldest portion of the Rig Veda. It is, therefore, as ML Chabas has culled it, the inost ancient bovk of the world; but it appeals, nevertheless, .to the authority of those’ who were then ancients, and it enforees a morality which resis on responsibility to 2a personal creator and presuryer ot all things, whose unity is declared to be absolute. This belief is set forth in hymns addresséd, through a long series of agus, to what we may, if we please, call a multitude of gods. Osiris, Horus, Thoth, Amon, and many more, are each wor- shiped in language which to all appearance is purely monotheistic. A hymn preserved in two manuscripts in the British Museum speaks of ‘*the bringer of food, the creator of all good things,” and says that “Le is not aven in marble as an image bearing the | double crown. He is not beheld; he hath neither iinistrant nor offerings; he is not: adored in sanctuaries; his abode fs not Known; no shrine (of his) is found with painted figures. ‘There is no building that ean coitain him. Unknown is his name in heaven; he doth not manifest his forms. Vain are all representations.” Yet this hymn is addressed to the Nile, who is identi- fied with Ra, Amon, Ptah, and .otbar gods, In another Amon Ra_is invoked as “the ancient of heaven, Lord of ali existences, the support of ali things, the one in works.” It goes on to speak-of him as “the maker of men, listening to the poor who is in distress, gentle of heart when one cries to him . . . Lord of wisdom, whose precepts are wise, lordof mercy, most loving, at whose coming men. live, opener of every eye, maker of alithat is . . . lying awake while all men sleep to- seek out the good of his creatures, salutation to thee be- cause thou abidest in us, adoration to thee because thou hast created us. Hail to thee, lurd of law . . . the one alone without a second, King alone, single among the gods, of many naines, unknown in their number.” This last phrase must be taken as the ex- planation of the fact that, while the one be- hig is thus spoken of as “the same yester- day, to-day, and to-morrow,” the several deities to whom the hymns speaking of this one god are addressed syifer from hunger, thirst, disease, and sorry, and. all require protection. ‘They may be reckoned up al- most by myrinds; but the task of number- ing them is needless, for it may be fairly said that almos,any one inay be substituted for or identified with another.. The goddess Hathor * is identified not only with Isis, but with Sechet at Memphis, Neith at’ Sais, Savsis at Heliopolis,” -and many more. ** Mentu and ‘mu, two of the great gods of Thebes, are merely aspects of the sun-god Ra.” ‘This may be called henotheism, or the form of thought which regards a suc- cession of deities in turn as each the one supreme, all-petfect god, to the exclusion for the ‘time being of all the rest; but in strictness of speech this term applies only when the worshiper addresses himself to the one God and Father of all men by one particular name. What are we.to say when a number of deities’ are asserted to be one and the same god? e Thou, Agni, art In- dra, thou art Vishnu. Thou art Varuna, when thou art born; thou art Ta, when thou art Kindled; thou art Aryaman;” and not only this, but Agni is also Prajapati, Daksha, Brahm, and Skamba, For the time, at least, these are for the poet mere names for him who isin his own nature in- comprehensible, and the instinct which prompts the use of them is strictly mono- theistic.. There is, of course, the danger that this polyonomy may run on into a panthe- istic philosophy or issue in a course polythe- ism. In Egypt both these results followed, and they were hastened perhaps by the myth- ological nature of the deities or powers which represented the action of the one un- seen God in its muitiform aspects. The old opinion that the Egyptians, although they had many gods, had no mythology, is, Mr. Renouf asserts, “altogether an erroneous one; it confuses the notion of myth with that of mythological tale or legend; and while the Egyptians really had an abundance of legendary tales, their inyths are simply innumerable.” These myths were, as they were everywhere else, mere phrases which might consist only of one or two words, few such phrases furnish the framework for_all.the legends ot Gdipus, Iferakles, or Bellerophon; and Mr. Renou! is brought by an examination of Egyptian myths to precisely those conclusions which. have been reached by comparative mytholo- gists who have worked on the’ traditions of the Aryan races. As svon as the nature of the myth is understood, all anomalies and seeming immoralities in the. popular stories of the gods are, he says, at once explained. ‘The birth of thesun “may be derived from ever so many different mothers. He may be the son of the sky, or of the dawn, or of the sea, or of night. . . . All myths are Strictly true, but they can only be har- monized. when translated into the Inn- guage of physical Jeality.” But the cli- mate of the Nile Valley determined the character of the Egyptian mythology, which is cogcerned almost entirely with phenomena of regular and perpetual recur- rence. Mr. Renouf’s conclusion is sufficient- ly clear and definit; and ‘he expresses it in the words which Prof. Max Miller applied to the myths of the Aryan tribes. “ What- ever may be the ease in other mythologies, Ilook upon the sunrise and sunset, on the daily return of day and night, on. the battle between light and: darkness, on the whole solar drama in all its details, that is acted every day, every month, every year, in Heaven and in earth, as the-principal subject of Egyptian mythology.”” The agreeinent of independent inquirers in. different_tields of research is a tact of the highest sisnificance, Itisno slight gain that Afr. Renouf's con- clusions, after-a careful examination of Egyptian belief and philosophy, should be in complete accordance with those-which have been reached after a not less patient serutiny of the ancient faith and literature of India. es : SONG.

Where the Daughters of the Poor Are Taught How to Live, No. 253 Larrabee street doesn’t front on the street squarely, but stands akimbo, astant, cat-a-cornered, and awry, as if it were deter- mined to be as much out of the usuatrun of Larrabee street buildings‘exteriorly as it is interioriy,—for it is the Unity.Church Indus- “trial School for Girls, and recognizes that fact every blessed minute of its existence. ‘The schoo! was established four years ago fg an expertment of exceedingly precarious nature. From an experiment it improved into being a test, and from this has gradually grown to be an avowed success, In the absence of a compulsory law of edu- cation in this State there are many of the poorer classes of children that the common schools do not reach, and it is to cover up this deficiency that the Industrial Schoo! has been established. A Trususe reporter found things in apple- pie order there yesterday on the occasion of his visit, Mrs. Sarah Pelton, the Matron, was temporarily at home, and every nook and cranny in the’building was thoroughly in- spected. Fronting on Larrabee street, and well lighted and ventilated, is a large, square, and | elean school-room 25x25, the walls of which are hung with a large and cheerful assort- ment of chromos, and the floor well packed with working-tables and chairs, upon which about sixty little girls ranging from 3 to 12 were busy as piciiic ants sewing, studying! doing sums, and cutting out clothing, ali chattering together like so many bluejays, all with clean hands and faces and happy eyes, and ail very respectful and obedient to ne. least directing nod of the Matron or of her assistant. Back of this was the washroom, supplied with real soap, and genuine towels, und in- disputable water, where a dozen more little girls were dousing their faces and hands and rubbing them into a high state of effulgence just a3 was eminently proper they should do. Here, in the morn- ing, each scholar is required to go through a regular process of serub and scour, so that a dirty face isw’t anything short of'a marvel- ous pty . Behind this, still, a flight of steps leads to the garden, which is about 100 by 25 feet, and has one-half divided to vegetables. and one-half to play. ‘The play part is. sheltered by a large awning, aiid in its genial shade still another batch of little ones were dress- ing rag-babies, and swapping gossip, and playing atjackstones, merry as crickets and still us mice. ‘The vegetable domain exhib- ited rows upon rows of cabbages, beets, po- tatoes, beans, and peas, not to speak of proudly-towering and silken-tasscled corn, ana completely neglecting to mention four melon-vines and an egg-plant. ‘The vere- tables are tended by the children, and their yield forms one source of supply for the daily lunch or dinner served at the school. . THE BASEMENT OF THE BUILDING |, is occupied by the kitchen and bath-room,— both of which were neat as wax. In that tub sixty children get a regular hot-water soak every Saturday, whether they need it or not, the chances being in favor of their need. Pickax, spade, and sandpaper are only used on the first-comers. Sometimes these have to be boiled for an hour or so before the nucleus of child is discovered, but crust is never allowed to re-form. “ Every day at noon dinner is served to oups of children, who are waited upon y two others; and two servé as cooks. ‘These positions are given in rotation, the ob- ject being to instruct the little ones in the art of cooking and serving a dinner, The meal isserved in courses, and the table-service, which is a present, is tastefully arranged, if for a state banquet. i Returning to the school-room, the Matron put the school through 2 few exercises. | First, little Carrie Bernheim, s scholar, stepped up to the blackboard and, with a matronly air and a piece of chalk, inscribed thereon ina hand that was full and round and far more legible than Horace Greeley’s bese the words ‘ house,” “bell,”.“enp,? and “boot.” And it is to be- noted'that Carrie accomplished this diflicult piece of caligraphy without once putting her tongue in her check, or shutting one eye or blinking: the other, or, in fact, having recourse to any of the facial calisthenies usual with young writers. ‘Then she took up the pointer and, the school being breathless with attention, indicated the first word. . * Aitch—o-o—yu—ess—ee—house |” sung the whole class, in jubilant chorus, ‘hen she pointed out the second. “Bee—ee—double ecll—bell!” was the chorus again. And so it went through the entire list without one break or error, which, indeed, was very creditgble. Then came a concert. Miss Blackman played on the organ.—bdless his soul, the:re- porter forgot all about that organ till just now,—came within an ace of omittingiall mention of that vigorous instrument, which hasn’t a symptom of asthina yt sound and shiny as anew dollar! Well, Miss Blackman played upon the organ, and ali hands stood up. First came that world-renowned cantata in B fiat; by Mendelssohn or sumebody, prob- ably somebody, running thus: Schoo-o0-! mates ict us cheerful bes School-mu-a-tes let us cheerful bel Cheerfu-u-ul ail the da-a-ay! Wha-atif others sometimes yex us, What ff le-essons do perpiex us, Ob be pleasant, kind, and tru-u-ue, In our work and pli-ay! Now came in the chorus in C sharp,—all hands together with clapping accompani- ment: : Here we stand, hand in hand, Reudy for our exer-ci-Ise, Heads upright, with delight Sparkling in our lnughing ey-eyes! - Now andante, with pizzicato movement: Singing cheerily, chcerily, cheerily, Clapping merrily, merrily, merrily, One, tivo, three! Don’t you see Where we love to-0-0 be-e? The next song_was erudite-to a tremen- dous degree, and embraced an amount of knowledge and agility marvelous, to say the least, The composer, died of exhaustion on writing the last line, but his soul still goes marching on.

To be sure some of the little girls pointed up for Nadir and down for Zenith, and got the points of the compass a little inixed, and poked fingers in each .other’s eyes, and butted their heads together, but the average scholar sung itright through with a soprano squeal aBd_ comparative ease.

The Profits of This Cooling Summer _ Industry. “ Limonad—limonad—niza fresha limonad —iza cole—fi? cenza glassa !” isa Dago cry that has been heard quite frequently in this city since warm weather set in. It is some- times varied to ‘lemnade! lemnade! here yer are! on-ly a nickel !” to suit the Anglo- Saxon month, or even to a thin and piping “lemingnade here! fi-i-i-ve cents!” which Ee the puckered mouth of anorthodoxsmall oy. " Two years ago not one glass of lemonade was sold upon the streets; now there. are 500 stands that appear in every quarter of the city whenever the thermometer is propitious, and each and all vend a large glass of citrine refreshinent at the price of a nickel,—squeeze the lemon, put in the sugar, and shake it up~ before the purchaser, whoethus is assured that he is getting the- real article, and isn’t svindiey and poisoned at one and the same time. . There is a natural craving of the system of an overheated man for cool and acid drinks, and lemonade Supplies the want to a nicety. The juice of the lemon is highly impregnated with citric acid, which is a refrigerant and anti-scorbutic, and besides gives a certain aid to digestion when -moderately used. Of the essential oil contained in the peel, just enough is squeezed out tu give the drink a flavor, and not enough to prove deleterious, although the oil, taken in quantity, is a vio- Jent poison. Then there is the sugar and water, which ever? Frenchman will swear makes the best refrigerating drink in the world without lemon-juice or anything added to it, but just eau sucrée. TO MEET THE POPULAR DEMAND for lemonade, iced lemonade, made with real lemons, and true water, and pure ice; and unquestionable sugur at popular prices, the Jemonade nan bas come into popular favor, and proniises to be as permanent a summer fixture as the palmetto fan or sand-tily, He taxes his position at 9a. m. and vanishes at 6, except upon the more crowded thorough- fares, where on Saturdays and éxtraordinary occasions he prolongs his business hours away up into the wee sma’. z Through professional pride, and as a fine stroke of diplomacy, he never uses a fan. What though . ‘The heaving Boulevart flares and roars, And the streaming Life ilows up and down From its hundred open doors, and the hurrying crowds, starting at every pore with business and perspiration, pant und puif, and swear and blow and josile by, while the thermometer blinks exasperatingly down from its silvery roost away upin the nineties—the lemonade man stands calmly— yea, smilingly—behind his snowy counter with its row of sparkling glasses and its geluen heap of tempting lemons and- its dainty globe of sugar und its dewy tankard of ice, and shrilly runs his invitations to drink up and down their strident gamut, and isiana fig—and every one knows what a mean fig tee is— whether schvol keeps or not, just so long as the swelter keeps up, and he can pour out his lemonade and rake in the nickels. Is he ever flurried? Does he ever putt? Nota bit 0! Zs Just watch him_as he seryes a customer. With what a fanciful semi-circular flourish he catches up @ tumbier, in the bottom of which ‘lies the exact amount of sugar re- quired, toa grain! ‘Then he takes up half a big lemon, aud eyes it critically to see that it is all-right, then inverts it in the squeezer, and in one time and three motions drains it of all its welcome juice. Three fillips with a glittering spoon mix the sugar with it, and then another flourish fills it with ice-water. ‘Then he gracefully inverts over it the conical German-silver apparatus known as a mixer, churns it actively for three seconds, removes the mixer with a gesture not to be described, so artistic is it, and finally, with the cabalis- tic inquiry “ Strawzer ?” olfers the glass aud its foaming contents as politely as a French Count, and watches the beverage gurgle away and gradually vanish with a triangular sinile as ditlicult of portrayal as it is self-sat- isticd and proud. ‘he lemonade man isa philanthropist, too, in’ a small ‘way. ‘Chere dre hundreds o: women and children upon the streets at mid- day, farfrom home, tortured with thirst, and having no money to buy cooling drinks. ‘Shey cannot go into a bar or a hotel to slake their thirst, so they naturally appeal to the lemonade man, who invariably fills a glass brining and hands it over aS proudly, and and grandly, gracefully as though it were his preciovs lemonade for which he was to yeceive a full nickel, and seems just as well satiation. to give asthe applicant is to re ceive it. . GAINING THE CONFIDENCE of one of the most prominent lemonade men onClark street yesterday, a TRiBuNne re- porter ventured to ask him how business was, : ¢ . * Well, you see, sir,” was the reply, “just now iv’s little off,—weuther not hot enough.

TOWN-NOMENCLATUBE. Curiosities of Place-Names in the United States. From “The Contributors’ Club” in the Atlantic for August. The Atlantie for April, 1860, contained an article (entitled “Come si-Chiama?”) on the names of American towns, At that time there were some 10,000 places—cities, towns, and villages on the census-return for 1850. The “United States Postal Guide” now-con- | tains the names of 99,825 post-offices. There are only about half that number of names for use in distinguishing them. If merenominal differences be overlooked, where the variation is in the mode of writing, us Flat Woods, V.a., and Flatwoods, Pa, or. the adding of 8 apostrophized, as Foster and Fpster’s, the names would be less than half the places, The Postmaster-General has there- fore issued an official circular re- questing the use of the county names. But for the 2,567 counties are provided only 1,455 names, Some popular names are found in | haif the States of the Union. Since the article of 1860 much has been done to correct the evil. There were then onehundred and thirty-eight towns named Washington. There are now but twenty-six post-offices so entitled. ‘The same is true of other names, then popular, that they have been reduced in like proportion. But the poverty of invention then com- plained of remains. Many of the names are not names atall. They are simply appella- tions, ‘They might be borne bya ship, or a horse, ora locomotive wich more fitness than bya town, For instance, all proper names of persons. The classic names which perpetuated the founder or the founder’s favorit showed by the grammatical termination what was meant, Alexandria, or Antiochia, was the city of Alexander, or Antiochus, Cssarea, the city of Cesar. The name recorded a fact. It may be pretentious for Mr. Smith or Mr, Dodge to call his new factory-villaze Smith- yille, or Dodgeopolis, but it is legitimat Smith, or Dodge is the real conditor urbis, and has as good right to sayso as had Ni rod or Belus. A es ut, if patronymics are objectionable, given names are more so. The * Posi Guide” shows how deeply we have sinned in this particular. Under the letter A alone are more than thirty, beginning with Aaroa and Abel, and ending with Aubrey and Au- cilla, Again, names belonging to countries or natural features are unfit! What is the sense of calling a town Europe, or Americ: or Andes, or Australia, or Italy, or Ireland Yet this has been done repeatedly, as the “Postal Guide ” shows. There is no gova reason for applying to petty places the names of famous cities and towns abroad. There is one exception, which is justifiable.on the ground that it records a fact—namely: that the settlers of the new town came from the old. Thus, i im- in my former paper I was puzzled over the title High Spire. “A correspondent_informed me that it was the corruption of Neu Speyers,— New Speyers,—from the famous Rhineland city. ‘Scriptural names were once highly. sig- nificant; but repeated they lose all their meaning, and become as distasteful as when the good New-Englanders bestowed on their children names taken at random from the Bible, regardless whether they were of prophets or of apostates, of martyrs or of inalefactors- . ‘The classic fever which led to the baptism of so many unhappy towns, notably in West- ern New York, has died out. But names taken from modern. literature, as Ivanhoe, Waverley, Highland Mary, Don Juan, are not much better. 4 Also, there is a class of names which seem borrowed from the sheet-music which lies on the pianos of rural inns, such a3 Hazel Dell, Sunny Dale, Glen Julia, and the Jike. ‘Then there are names chosen mainly for the sound. Thus I find in the “Postal Guide” Ambrosia, Alpharetta; Animosa, Alexandriana, Amicolola, Alpha, Beta, Del- ta, Kappa, Omega, Caverna, Colita, Rohious, Noverta, Padora, Omro, Ora, Orel. There are quaint names with a meaning, such as Accident, Recklesstown, Troublesome, Diffi- cult, Disputanta, Discord, Antiguity, Agen- da, Alert, Alembic, Arcana, Arcanum, Far- menious, Jollytown, Jolly, Industry, Glad Tidings, Good Intent, Gravity, Mirabile, Mu- tual Love, Energy, Liberty. Effort, Equality, Eminence, Justice, Enterprise, Modest Town, Clear Grit, Sublimity, Temperance, Tolerance, Bird in Hand, Blowout, Bargaintown, Cash- town, Businessburg, Pay Down, Con- venience, Congruity, Day-Book, Buyerstown, Competition, Conipensation, Confidence, Con- cert. Form is represented by Angle, Acme, Apex, Ogee, Oblong; architecture by Fan- Light and Cupola; Latin grammar by Amo, Amor, Esto, Novt, Ira, Cela, Caput, Strata, and Caro. Mythology appears as Lethe, Medusa, Saturn, Ceres, Juno, Clio, River ‘Styx. Cleon and Denos sug- gest Aristophanes. There are unsavory names, too, ag Graball and Bangall, Muck, Drain, Cuthand, Cut Shin, Catarrh, Dirt- ‘Town, Disinal, Bogus. Saw-Dust, Frost, Hur- ticane, Cyclone, Fussville, Poverty Hill, Raub, Trickum. vy There are names without meaning, or euphony, as Ari, Alzey, Anso, Baloil, Bashi, Busti, Canni, Chilo, Chino, Cul- drum, Drenthe, De Turksville, Elo, Elrod, Eucutta, Gardi, Cisne, Hahira, Hico, Harthe- ig, Hiko, Hika, Lupiduim, Inkpa City, adden, Leopaa, Marak, Moe, Mattawoman, Gonic, AMedybemps, Nurey, Nuzums, Pysht, Clitherall, Slagle, Speonk, Squak, Skagit, Zif, and hig. ‘There are compound titles, also odd, as Cob Moo Sa, Coinjock, Bonduel, 0. K., 0.Z., Jay En, Ni Wot, Ty Ty, Nola Chucky, Dragonsville, Colehour, Gap Civil, U Bet, Shoo Fly, Funny Louis, Tiappy Jack, Board Tree, Calf Killer, Birthright, Blowzit, Old Brother, Keep ‘Tryst, Loyalsock, Lueky- Queen, Sir Joh? Run, and Chismville. Some of these are, 1s Sir Thomas Browne says, “capable of « wide solution,” if one knew where to look for it. a a Laurel Bloomery would do fairly, if one contd recognize the bad English of the ter- mination, though Creamery is getting itself naturalized; but the names which belong to times of day, as Sunrise, Sunset, Daylight, ete., are hardly legitimate. There are many names of saints, some 200 or 300. These are historical. ‘They mark first a settlement by French or Spanish pioneers, and next a pos- sible clew to the date as found in the saint’s day whose name the place bears. But where in the calendar is one to find St. Tammany? Tammany is regarded as the English or Dutch corruption of the Indian Sachem, Miantonomoh, who certainly was never can- onized. Yet_a county in Louisiana. bears that name. Saint Gilman and Saint Wendell look suspiciously like a bit of Protestant beatification. Also, St. Jo and St. Joe are hardly reverent enongh for formal appella- tions; though permissible in colloquial use. There are traces of other religious or philo- sophie proclivities which are character- istic; thus Laud and Calvin, and some sympathizer with the French Revolution, has Ca Ira. But Philomath and- Cathar- pin, this last_a nautical term, require explanation. “Selah, which puzzles Tead- ers of the Psalms, is more puzzling as thi name of a town. ‘But one marked feature of this nomencla- ture is the repetition of popular names. aradises, Edens, appear by ‘the dozens. ames like Auburn and Melrose are every- where. In 1850 there were fourteen New- ports; now there are ticenty-two. Apropos of the confusion this makes, I once came to the Hartford Station with a fellow-traveler, On one side of the building was a train bound north, on the other side one bound east. He was going to Newport, Lake Mem- phremagog; Newport, RL He, with |American . brevity, said, “Check for Newport.” While I’suspect- eda mistake I forget now, but I did, and in- terposed just in time to save his trunk from going astray, and was duly grombled ‘at for iny olficiousness by everybody but the pro- prietor, and le was too busy in athematizing the confusion of names te notice me. Like Dean Ramsay’s hero, “He did na sweer at onything in parteecular, but juist stude in ta middle of ta road and swoor at lairge.” Dean Stanley lost a day of his hurried trip by go- ing to Concord, N. HL, for Concord, Mass. t is not always fair to transfer names from. the old States to the new. Thus Charter Oak and Plymouth: Rock are both found. in Iowa, and this is a mant- fest wrong to history: ‘The historian of 1979 may. be much bewildered in his facts. Now it !s evident that the Post-Office De- partment has tried to do something to cor~ rect this reduplication, and has partly suc- ceeded. In 1850 Presidential names abounded. Out of 10,000 names, over fre hundred, more than ‘one-tentieth of the whole, ae divided among nine Presidents. . The list has been greatly cut down. Still, vast con- fusion remains, The Burlingtons, Spring- fields, Salems, Cambridges, are_manifol ‘The English way of distinguishing such cases is to_ append a title, as Har row-on-the-Hill, Newcastle-upon-fyne; and New York State has sensibly followed by Hastings-on-the-Hudsop, ete. Migut not the department enact that the oldest town ofa name should keep its title, and all the rest either change or put on a distinguishing sur- name? The newest comer should be re quired, under penalty of lacking postal fa- cilities, to drop the reduplicated_name, and to adopt one unappropriated. Perhaps, in view of the- post-ottices, which will be, ere this paper sees the light, probably 40,000, this may not be easy. i « It was once the case that human beings Teteathels eos Sects. Hig rsonal uliarity. i passed away, either pecause names. or, be cause pec supply fell ents and sponsors had. not the inventive nius of the mother who presented her in- fant at the fontas Cular Semira, informing the Rector that “she made the nanie up out of her own head.” One would think she had been at the christening. of some of we open there isa prinetpl hin! ere is a principle which should rale the matter, mark of locality should, if possible, be upon the names of a section. When one hears an English name for the first time, it is generally possible to guess the quarter of the Island to which it belongs. Thus, nobody would put Trewartha in Yorkshire, or Thirsk in Cornwalt. Where the Indian names have been kept, the same is true of this country. Eufala, Alabama, are quite unlike the many-consonanted jaw-breakers of Maine, ‘The local names of natural objects vary witheach section. I notice the word Glaize in several Western names. I presunie it is from the French tse, potter’s clay. gla It is a good local title, and implies nch discoverers at once what the found. Where y can be,. Indian names should te __ retained. ‘The worst of them can hardly be as bad and meaningless as Globe or Cosmus. Where they cannot be kept, they may be translated. Failing this source, why not fall back upon the archaic forin of the English name al- readyin use? Thus, Birmingham the seo- ond might be required to the Saxon form of Bromwich-ham, still preserved, by the way, iu the popular Brummagem. There is an instance of this in the Connecticut Kil- Iingworth, named by first settlers after their native Kenilworth, but pronounced accord- to local use, : ‘here is & usage somewhere, when new townships are made out of parts of two. old ones, of combining the names, and the effect is not always unhappy: thus Waterbury, in Connecticut, out of Water- town and Woodbury. Here is a historical fact preserved in a shape which can survive the loss of town-records. Is is sometimes said thatthis Continent has nohistory. Ina certain seuse this is true. It has.had no infancy, no childhood. Its civilization came over ready-made in. the Maytlower and Half-Moon, and still exists in the shape of antique furniture enough toload Noah’s Ark to the water-lines. But that is the more reason for preserving. what history there is. Names of places are history’s landmarks. And since a name once given is like a label pasted on a trunk,—not easily gotten off again,—itis simply an out- rage to allow the caprice of an early pioneer affix to a town a tide which shall ever aft- er be hateful in the ears of its citizens, Let the reader look back over the lists given (and - these are but a few of the weeds pulled up from the parterre), and think of himself srit- ing many of them after his name in a hotel- register, or being greeted by Mr. Speaker as the honorable gentleman from, say, Squak. 1do not know where the ultimate power of reforin resides. $$ ~ A CAMPAIGN SONG. Curcaao, July 29, 1890.—-Mr. C. B.Carter—DEaa Sim: Four young men of my acquaintauce are organizing a Campaign Glee Clap, to sing in the coming campaign. They desire an appropriate song in the measure in which ‘The Old Oaken Bucket” is written, to be sung to the same tune to which the latter is often sung. Can’t you help them out? I have seen poetry over your name in THe TRIBUNE, and trust your Muse will not rebel at Garfield and Arthur. A favorable reply at your earnest convenience will oblige, yours truly, Save. Kerr. Crcaco, July 20, 180.—Samuel Kerr, — Dear Sik: Your note of yesterday, requesting me to write a campaign song in the measure of “The Old Ouken Bucket,” gave me no little surprise. But, being a minute-man in this and ail contests where the isaue is mainly Nationul- ism vs. State-Rights, I hasten to reply, and trust that the song herewith submitted will meet in some measure the wishes of your friends. Pos- sibly * Run Up the Old Flag” may have in it some of the inspiration which will help to make it hot for the Demo-Confeds next fall. There is something positively amazing in the cheek of the Demucrats of the Solid South, so recently in arms to the death against the Nation, pee again the sume Solid South on Substantially the same issue, coupled with the ve importunate cry, “ Give us three loyal States: _ I never knew a Democrat who could say Na- tion without a “but.” They are loyal—* but.” Thoy think the South made a mistake in declar> ing for the arbitrament of the sword—“ but.” The¥ are for the Union—but.” In short, they are the “ But” party. I venture the prediction that they will never win a National victory at the polls. How any citizen can hesitate between the National and the “But” , 1 confess passes my comprehension. The Solid South, ad- vancing from her myriad battles and defeats, again offers to be “conciliated,” and to dictate terms to the Union! As well might Turkey ex- ect to hold the guiding hand in the affairs of urope. Yours for Garfield and Arthur, and the Union, without a “but.” . CC. B. CaRtEr. RUN UP THE OLD FLAG.
