One of the Grand Dukes told the Czar that a sentinel at the railroad crossing at Peterhof refused to raise the gate for his carriage, although the train was not due for three or four minutes. “Itis against orders, your imperial Highness,” the soldier replied, therule being that when the gate was shut it must not be opened until after the train had passed. The Czar said he was glad to hear that the soldier knew how to obey orders. The Grand Duke laughed and said he was ce n that if the Czar himself had been present discipline would have given way. The czar did not reply, but a few days after, to put the matter to the test, he drove up with the czarina just after the gate had oeen lowered. The czar called to the sentinel tolet him pass. The sen- tinel, in great trepidation, saluted but did not move the gate. *Open the gate, I tell you!” cried the emperor; *‘don’t you know who Iam?” “*Yes, your imperial majesty, but 1t’s against orders, and I cannot open the gate,” answered the sentinel, still salut- ing, and turning almost blue with anx- iety, but not moving an inch from his place. g “fam the the czar, and I command you to open,” cried the czar again. “I can’t do it, your imperial majesty,’ despairingly cried the sentinel, still standing firm, Just then the train passed. Tho czar burst into laughter, and, warmly com- mending the astonished sentry, pre- sented him with a twenty-five-rouble note and drove back to the palace. - He Had Two Calle New York Commercial; “Speaking of poker stories,” remarked Colonel Charles Byremond Hamilton yesterday, ‘‘the latest and newest narrative of that brand is attributed to the nimble wit of H. Clay Barnabee, the comedian. “Like all trully good players, he is not averse toan occasional indulgence in the noble game of poker, but his weak- ness for holding that variety of straight that associates with the degraded ad- jective ‘bobtail,” and kis predilection for flushes that change their politics on the fifth card, cause him to hold him- self aloof from the game except onex- traordinary occasions, “One of these transpired recently in that paradise of poker, Louisville when Barnabee, in company with two of the colonels common to the latitude, enscon- ed himself behind an ambuscade of biue chips and repulsed the enemy with great loss. “‘One of those hands that are heard of only in poker stories was delt iround: “Iach gentiemun clasped his cards close to his manly bosom, and the crack- ing of the chips, as Barnabee opened tho jack pot for the limit, sounded like the skirmish firing that precedes a Waterloo or Gettysburg. ““The ivories completly olscured the center when a servant entered. ** *Mistah Barnabee.” he said ‘Mistah McDonald’s downstuirs, an’ he wants t’ s0e yo,’ sah.’ “#%Um’ sighed Barnabee, as he gazed upon the stack and darkly upon the foe, ‘wants to see me, does he?

IN SPELLING. in Geographic clature, In no details of current specch and writing fs there more confusion and | uncertainty than in the pronunciation | and spelling of geographical na s the New York Tribune. No st authority hus hitherto been known in this country, upon the subject. Bach maker of maps or gazetteers has fol- | lowed his own free fancy, and has been | held worthy of praise if only his work throughout was self consistent. Local fashion and social fads have added var intions to the general perplexity, and the result is that ono is not sure of a spoken name until he heavs it spelled, | nor a written namo until he hears it pronounced. To go no further than a few near and homely examples, who does not hesitate with woful misgivings between ing Newburg and New- burgh, or between Duchess and Dutchess. Who, ' speak of Mount Desert, 1s quite sure on which syllable of the lat- ter word to put the accent? 'Ihere ure innumerable other such unc nties, many of them of serious importance Nearly two years ago, with a view to mitigating in some degree this nomen- clatural evil, the president appointed a board on geographic pames, consisting of tenlearned gentloman connected with the coast survey and other government bureaus, The primary object of this board was to establish uniform usage in regard to geographic nomenclature and orthography on the maps and charts and in the books published by the gov- ernment. But it was evident that the effect of its work would be much wider, and that its decisions would generaily come to be recognized as authority. ard has held numerous meetings, just issued its first report, con- s an account of the rules adopted inits work., and its decisions in more than 2,000 disputed cases. This. roport will be received with interest by the publie, especially by all concerned in seientific, literary and educational mat- ters, and is worthy of careful considera- tion. Most of the rules adopted seem wise, such as the dropping of the **h” in the termination ‘‘burgh,” and ‘“‘ugh” in “‘borough;”’ the omission of hyphens; and, whenever possibie, of “C. H.” (Court house) after the names of county seats. One, however, appears ill ad ed, at least in the manner and results of its apolication, namely the ‘‘avoidance of the po: ve form of names.” 1In fol- lowing this rule the board has gone into many self-contradictions and neologistic absurdities, whi seriously mar its work. The possesive form is *‘avoided” simply by dropping the apostrophe, which is part of its sign, but retaining the “s,” which is also part of itssign, and the result is a word in plural form in | a case where no plural should or could exist. Ior instance, Fisher’s island is made Fishers island, and Long’s peak is changed Yo Longs peak—and so, in the next report, we may look for Pikes peals, Fremonts peak, ete. It would be in- teresting to hear the board’s defense of such forms. Nor is this rule consistently carried out; for nere is Gedney’s channel changed, not to Galneys, but to Gedney channel, and Elliot’s knob t Llliott knob. If **Fishers” and “Loug: why not “‘Gedneys” and liotts’” TFalkner’s island too, becomes not Falk- ) ners, but Falkner. It is a pity that the board did not have the courage of its convictions, and restore the original name, Falcon island. Many other features of the report de- serve hearty commendation; such as the simplification in spelling of Alaskan names, by which Tschotchiagoff be- comes Chicagof, and Ooanalashka, Un- alaska: though a curious step in the other direction is taken in distinguish- ing between two Rat_islands, one being called Khwostof and the other Sem-, isopochnoi. Pleasant, too, it is to ob serve that the board insists upon Mount Rainer, and discards Mount Tacoma, which may greive local pride, but does Oficial Reform Nome ] | Rocky Mountain Cyoclone with some phew diphicuities in the way.

"It is no joque to us; it is a serious aphair,” Up. R. T. Barton of Winchester, Va., recently road a paper before the Virgin- ia Historical society entitled “‘the first election of Washington to the gina House of Burgesses.” From this it aps pears that political methods then did not greatly differ from thoso of the pre! ent day, and the ram power, then as now v active factor. In 1757 Wash- ingion was one of the three candidates to represent Fredrick County, Va., in the house of burgesses, Although he had recontly achieved the distinetion of having saved the romuant of Braddock’s army from annihilation, Wushington was not able to overcome the revengeful opposition of one Lindley, whosoe liconse to keep an ordinary had beon opposed by the young Colonel. Washington was badly beaten, receiving only 40 votoes to tho 271 and 270 cast for his opponents, Nevertheless, the next year Washing- ton again ved to serve his country men at Richmond, The election camo off on July 24, and Washington got 310 votes, or 70 more than wero cast for the next highest candiaate. 1t is related that the future father of his country in this campaign had to foot a bill of elec- tion expenses of $1 the chief items of which were *a hogshead and a barrel of punch, thirty-five gallons of wine, forty- three gallons of strong cider, and dinnoe. is friends,” ““There was a particular delicious let ter which we recoived from a man whom Thave ever since sincerely wishod to meet,” says Mr. Roosevelt. **He had evidently regarded the fo rmal notice of the place where ho could bo oxamined as & personal invitation, and when he was unable to keep the appointment thoughtthat politencss required him to explain his absence.” The letter run as follows; *oCtober 6, 1890, “To the commischer of “Sivel Sirves My Dear Brother, Iam very sol I could not meet you on the day you but gentleman i am glad of the cause that Kept me away. let me tell you Mr comisher, i hav Bin mard 5 year: tel The Other Day, me and my Wife Had bin the onley mbrs en ow Famle. well Sir on the Da before your Ixammenas- hun, My Wife Hada kupple oi twins gest think of it Mr Comischer, and of course I couddent go off and leve Her and them. “I Just stade home an we had a sell- abration—an I Invitad all my frends ta diner I wish you had bin thare. i Hope 1 can be thare next time Mr. Comischer “Very trly yores"” i L Re minlscence of the hnstow ood.

James Agnew ana his family had their home washed away by the flood. The mother and children were rescued and cared for by the re- lief committee, and then sent to friends in Tennessee. They never heard from the father of the little family, and he was given up for lost, as among those who were in nameless graves. But Mr. Agnow all this time had been searching for his lost family. He was swept down with the rushing torrent, and amid the wreckage was bruised and injured 8o that he became unconscious. He was cared forin the Red ( s hospital, and lay there unknown, shattered in mind and body. When he recovered so as to be able to ideatify himself his famiiy had been sent away, and the confusion of the records placed them also among tho lost.

The public will gladly reccive Beirut as the best of a dozen forms of the Syrian seaport’s name, and hold I'iji asbetter than Fidschi.

The famous oath of the Gallic chief- tian has been discovered, according to M. Arbois de Tubainveille, in an Irish text of the second centary of our era. At the last sitting of the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Letters the fol- lowing translation of thaoath was given by M. de Tubainveille: “The heavens over us, the land below us, the ocean around us—everything in a circle about us. If the h ns ao not fall, ¢ from their high fortresses the stucs | vain on the face of the earth, if shocks from within do not shatter the land itsel, if the ocean from its blue solitude doos not rise up over the brows of all living things, I, by victory in war, by combats and batties, will bring back to the stable und fold the cattle, and to the house and their dwell that have been stolen by the enemy,” 014, but New York Tribune: A newspaper called the Rocky Mountain Cycloue hus just appeared, with the following edi toriul explanation: . begin the publication of the who had asked him for his daughter, “that you know my daughter has $250, 000 in her own name?” “Yes, sir, I've so understood,” ro- sponded the applicant frankly “*And you have nothing?” “Not & copper.”’ *1 suppose 1f she had been us poor as you are you would not now be usking me 1o let you have her?” *No, sir, I would not.” “Well, now, young man,” and tho father’s tone was not kindly, *‘don’t you consider that sordid und mercenary and selfish?” The young man shook his head. “As a business man to a business man,’’ he said, **let me answer that by asking you if you needed money 1n your business and ‘you had a choice of twe partners, one poor and one rich, which would you admit to partnership?” The ‘old gent studied a moment and withdrew further objection. - Stolen Bonds From Albany, N.
