CId.Charleston Names.

the Charleston City Gazeaeis suggest
i've OF the permanent hold which a
large proportion of the old families
took in society, and the tenacity with
which they have held their ground.
Jew and Gentle, Christian and He
brew, Turk and Philistine, class them
as you may, they all turn up now and
exhibit themselves, in their descend
ants, just as they did 2 hupdred years
ago. To this we ovse it, that names
are what they are, and perhaps to the
same cause we owe it that a certain
del;cacy Of constitution and cffemina>.:
.of character has impaired the energies
Of certain portion Of the race. But
to show: We find the name OF Col.
Daniel Stevens as a leading n:unc in
military sixty years ago We be-
lieve that the two Coz Stevens who
distinguished themselves in the late
war-one 'of them 81 distinguished
preacher now in the Episcopal Church
owe thcir origin to this source. We
ourselves can remember Col Daniel
Stevens, a man of decided character
yherc is Il pr. Poppenhcim now Of
Charleston or one of the Parishes.
we find in the paper Of July II, 1907,
that Mr.. John Poppcnhcim died ;v

disting ,,isned in the Confedcr,tc army,
a grandson Of Hon. Judge Lee, is now
living in 2cndleton The Charleston
Light Dragons: still existing under
Capt. Trenholm, was then in existence
and invited to meet at Mr.. Calder's,
who is well remembered. Sonee's
Long Room is suggestive of a family,
members of which still survive in the
interior. The Charleston Ranger
Company, Thomas Somersall captain,
is ordered to assemble by Lieut. Col
Roper. The Roper family still has
various representatives. That.of Som

Captain Of No. Beat (militia). His
descendants still maintain his name.

Court, u brother of judge Lee VIM.
Payne's descendants still live. The
name Of G. 81. Peigne suggests to us a
series OF humorous recollections of one
of his descendants, who furnished a
great deal Of fan to the vags OF
Charleston fifty years ago. Richard
Yeadon wrote speeches for him of the
thunderous, retindegrant character OF
which Peigne was very fond, and fan
cied, in course Of time, that he wrote
them all himself Some of them We're
printed. The well-known names of
Felix Warlev, Raynal. Logan, Palmer.
