NAMING OF RATTLE FIELps-It has often struck
us yery forcibly, that the names OF some OF our
,1sxican battles were most infelicitously chosen.
It would appear that battlefield should receive
its name from some distinguishing characteristic
some neighboring village; or at least, that the DID,
ject referred to by the name, should have an actuai
and tangible existence In accordance with tins
system of nomenclature, many persons upon LOON
ing into a Spanish Dictionary, and finding Palo
Alto to mean tall timber would very naturally con-
elude that the celebrated battlefield of the same
name is remarkable for trees OF considerable eeVa-
ton. But such an idea would be quite a mistake,
for, to certain knowledge, there is not plant
anywhere near the place deserving the name of tree
Even the Spanish bayonet, species OF palm, III
this part of the country, seldom attain an elevation
of more than fifteen feet In the same manner, 1t
would be reasonable inference that at the Resaca
de la Palma, ravine of the palm) there should be
found some trees of the species indicated by the
name but so far from this being the case, the
Resaca de la Palma, is almost the only place on the
road from Point Isabel to Matamoros where the
palm is not found Buena Vista means fair view
and the is applied to one OF the ugliest, most
dilapidated. miserable little ranches in Mexico.
The fdlf view lildl ever was soci was
the sight of the Mexican army in full retreat, on
the evening of the 23d February, 1917.
