AN INNOCENT Trick WITH Delicious
oNsEoUENcEs-The Cincinnati Sun tells
capital story Of young gentleman in that
city, who resorted to an innocent trick to get
a kiss all round from couple of young ladies'
he was waiting upon home from fishing
party. AT Cincinnati as well as here, and
elsewhere the girls have pretty and in
nocent custom Of kissing each other on bid
ding good night, and in fact upon many other
occasions. The gentleman in question had
waited upon the ladies', two OF the fairest
flowers that ever bloomed among the Buck
eyes, to their fathers residence. Knowing
the little parting ceremony was to be perform
ed, he watched his opportunity, and just as
their pretty lips were on their way to meet
each other, he poked his face in between, re-
ceiving delicious kiss on either cheek for
his audacity, or ingenuity. Only think Of it
exclaims the Picayune, double-barrelled
shot from Cupid, and both fred at once! We
have mind to make a regular business Of
seeing the girls home, two at time. Would

Origin ofMe Washington Name.-We learn
from Mr.. Sparks new life of Washington, that
Hertburg was the original name of the Washing,
ton family; that the latter was probably assum-
ed by William de Hertburn, between the year
1851 and 1874 and that the manor was held in the
male line until about 400, or one hundred and
thirty years, During his period the name seems
to have been written VeSSscumgton though it is
sometimes found Washington in its subsequent
changes it was probably written varously at differ
ent times, and by different branches of the family
At the HeraIds College in the " Visitation Books,3
$50 Mr. Sparks called it) of Northamptonshr for
the year 1913, found the autographs Of Allan
Washington and Robert Wellington. These per,
sons were uncles to John and Lawrence Wash,
ington, who emigrated to Virginia.

at IS RED AS scARLET."-Some time since,
member of the Presbyterian church O. Ebenezer,
Brown CO., Ohio, landed his boat at point on
the Mississippi. He saw some disturbance among
the coored people on the bank. He stepped up
to see what was the matter. black man was
stretched naked on the ground his hands were
tied to stake, and one held each foot. He was
doomed to receive fifty ashes, but by the time the
overseer had given him twenty-five with his great
whip, the blood was standing round the wretched
victim in little puddles, 1t appeared just as if it
had rained blood. Another observer stepped up
and advised to defer the other twenty-five to an
other time, lest the slave might de- and he was
released to receive the balance when he should
have so recruited as to be able to bear and live,
The offence was coming one hour too late to
work, Mr.. G, inquired if there was no way in
which they could get along without such severity,
No, was the reply. 1t was indispensabiy neces-
sary. 1t takes hard whipping to make the di-
vine institution" profitable. The minister who
spends his Sabbath in pleading for the lawfulness
of such bloody institution had need to be well
rewarded for his labors in this life for he will
have little to expect in the next.
