SHORT CHAPTER ON SToCKINGs.-It is curious
to trace the or igin of the names of articles of
dress, of words and of phrases. The word stock
ing derives its name from stock, which, by the
way, has as many meanings as almost any other
single word in the language Stocken, German
word, meaning to fix, to stick, isprobably the cor
rect origin of its application to that useful orna
ment for the leg. Richardson's definition OF stock
ngs is =" because they stick to the leg" Again
he says equally leanedly, /" "stockng,'' for the
leg, corruptly written for stocken e. e. stock with
the addition of the participe en1, because it was
stuck, or made with sticking pins, now called
The presnmptionis that stockings used first were
made Of silk but at what period we are not able
to say. sik, wrought, was brought from Persia to
Greece 3s5 b. O.; from India 274 after Christ !;
known ID Rome in Tiberius's Time, when a law was
passed dforbidding men to dehase themselves by
wearing silk, fit only for women. This is doubt
the origin of the phrase silk stocking gentry"
Silk stockings first worn by the French king 1913.
Our friend Cato fixes the date l547.
Howell informs US that in 1850, Queen Elizabeth
vas presented with pair of black knit silk stock
mgs, by her silk woman, Mrs. Montague. Henry
VIII, that magnificent and experienced prince,
wore ordinarily cloth hose, except there came
from Spain, by great chance, pair of silk stock
ings-for Spain very early abonnded in silk. HIS
| son, Edward vi, was presented with Q par OF
Spanish silk stockings by his merchant, Sir Ihos.
| Graham, and the present was then much taken no
tice of. Consequently the invention of knit SILK
stockings came from Spain. Others, however, re-
late that William Rider, London apptehuce, see
ing at the house of an italian merchant pair OF
knit worsted stockings from Mantua, rom tnence
ingeniously made pair like them, winch ne pre-
sented to the Earl of Pembroke. and were the frst
of the kind made in England, l561- Ihe weaving
l of then, was invented by the Rev. Mr. Lee, of
: Cambridge. in l5S9 Woolen stockings of fancy
coors were worn by the Dutch burgomasters IN
state occasions, and blue knit stockings by ne
working classes generally about the year 1900.
Rfter that period they were brought into general
! use throughout the civilized world.

a TOfIers

A note from friend in New Orleans asks us to
call attention to several peculiar advertisements
now appearing in the Southern papers. These
advertisements offer rewards for the return of
valuable private libraries stolen by officers of the
Union armies, and appropriated to their own use
during the late war. One gentleman says there
were taken from his house some three hundred
volumes, mostly rare French and Spanish books
relating to the early history of Louisiana, which
cannot be replaced by purc hase, and for which he
now offers five dollars per volume. Large re-
wards are also offered (and no questions asked)
for the return of other souvenirs stripped from
Southern houses, and which are known to be in the
possession of certain captains, colonies, brgadier
and major generals, who have great deal to say
about their public services and very little about
their private stealings. Our New Orleans cores
pondent himself saw six or eight boxes of house
hold knick-knacks and womens and chdren's
clothing which were stolen in Pensacola by Neal
Dow, and were stopped at the custom house in
New Orleans. This same Dow was convicted
of stealing silver pitcher from Bradsh johnson.
Libraries, wardrobes, plate closets, and picture
galleries in New Orleans, and in other cities were
stripped during the war; and the peculiar per-
formances of Butler and his followers in this line
more notorious in history than are any of their
exploits in the field. Peace ought to bring re-
pentence, and, if conscience does not urge the
return of these family relics and private property,
the large rewards now offered, and which will be
offered, ought to induce the particularly patri-
otic u to disgorge at least a portion of their
plunder. We do not appeal to their sense of pro-
plleIJt Vi llOutSlJi VI JustitS' WI lu6Tely tdkt
leave to inform them that they can make good
thing of it pecuniarily by disgorging their yunder
Apropos of Butler. Victor Hugo, in " The Toilers
of the Sea- draws the following portrait of a
| certain Captain Zuea: "He had taken part in
the war of independence in truly Independent
fashion, adhering sometimes to Bolivar sometimes
to Mobillo according he had found it to his in
terest. He had enriched himself by serving all
causes. No man in the world coald have been
more Bourbonist, more Bonapartist, more abso-
lutist, more liberal, more athefsti1al, more de-
voutly catholic. He belonged to that great and
party" a retrospect of Buffers services to the
rebels as well as to the UnioF and, above all, his
services to himself his -gotten and anyhowgot-
ten gains his loyalty, during long political
his present prominence ia the party which, above
all others, in this or any country or in any time
" may be ftly called the lucrative party all
show that Hugo need not have gone back to Gnern
sey in 1920 to paint the perfect portrait which he
did of Captain Zdela-[New York World.

oHl-The New York Herald announces the
highly important intelligence from abroad that
Spain is about to abandon the war agtinst Chilli

tected, that Spanish feet can soon knock it to-
pieces, and work immense destruction to life and
property The prospect alarms the humane SEN

to prevent the outrage. This forces the Mobile

for many days, over year, storms of fire and iron
were rained upon that devoted city, from the most

thousand inhabitants, many of them foreigners
and many others tender children and helpless
women-how it had wealth, IN solid stOFehopses
and princely private dwellings, to be destroyed 20
/ OF course the Herald did know and hear of these
things, and il had daily bulletins to record the
progress of the daily destruction and yet not
