NAMES, CHRISTIAN AND HEATHEN.

FROM the N. 4. ITlOune.
Thomas Paine (not Common Sense Thomas,
but Massachusetts verse writer of the olden
time), being disgusted with the doings of the
other and doubling Thomas, petitioned the
Legislature to give him Christian name and
he was called and known, and in his time
grew quite famous, as Robert Treat Paine,
Jr We would suggest some legislation of this
kind in behalf of the Cherokee Indians. These
semi-aboriginal gentlemen have lately had
occasion to present couple of numerously
signed petitions to Congress-; and the names
thereunto appended show that, in the Chero-
kee Nation, the art of baptism is still i'm
perfectly understood. Some of these "poor
Indians" have, it is true, very respectable and
civilized and thoroughly Yankee names. "Eze-
kiel Tucker" for instance, has a veritable
Yankee flavor; 'Looney McLane" is a good
Irish, as Thomas Carlyle is a good Scotch
name; benjamin fish is eminently sugges-
tive of Cape Cos; and there is even a
George Fox" to welcome the Quaker Com
missioners when they visit the Cherokees
There is an individual who is named and
signs himself simply "Wilson, in honor, we
conjecture, of the Massachusetts Senator;
there is another who names himself, in a sin
gularly indefinite way, as 'John;" there is
another who goes further, and writes him
self "John Pigeon;" we find, also, the roman
tically historical name of ''Hildebrand;" but
what shall we say to the ornitbologico-zoolo-
gical name of "Pig Eagle?' What man of
taste was it who gave to an innocent savage
the name of edgar Poe Harris ?"
But some of the names appended to this
petition are sufficiently mysterious. There is
one cabalistic child of the forest who simply
writes himself 'Six"-there is another who
vaunts himself as John Large;" Sc. Six
killer" is most homicidal autograph, highly
suggestive of scalps and ezekiel, we fancy,
must be the prophet of the tribe. There is a
"John Mixedwater, who probably mixes the
water with something stronger; there is q
'War Sort, who may be one of the military
sort; and there is man named with DoriC
simplicity 'Dry," and who is probably kins
man of Mr.. Mixedwater. 'Ground Hog" is
suggestive of Charles Lambs unfortunate
farce of "Mr. II. " "David Israeli fifty repre-
sents the old dispensation; "Rattling Gourd'
ought certainly to be Member of Congress

Love" and "George Moonshine" are in SINH
lar contiguity, and not far after Mr. Moon
shine, very appropriately follows "Moses
Glory" The signature of "Best
Quality" to conclude, is sug-
gestive of all the perfection of which
human, or at any rate Indian nature, is sus-
ceptible. 1t is pretty evident that most of
these names have been bestowed upon their
bearers by unprincipled pale faces, more in
tent upon their jokes than upon the euphony
of the Cherokee directory. Is it probable
that any Cherokee would, of his own motion,
call himself "Charles Potatoe 2" or ''Mouse p
or "Spoon?" or "Root Curly Hard?" or
"High?" or "Hog Shooter" or 'Drum
Fish ?" Would he be any more likely than
other Indians to christen himself "Hilde-
brand, Zachary Taylor" or edgar Poe ?"
And how would any white man like to be
designated by his fellow-citizens as 'Long
Ears?"
We are pleased to notice, however, that
there are some proud Cherokees who refuse
to be gammoned, and who still call themselves
by the resounding and vernacular names OF
their ancestors Thus we find attached to the
petition sonorous titles worthy to fill the
trumpet of fame:-"Tee-Soo-Y -Yar-Kee," and
' Cah-lur-nur- -hus-Ku;" Hee-Lur- -tas-Kee,
and the highly unpronounceable "Cu-lee
skee- -jah- -nohter." Perhaps it would not do tC
ask for literal translation of these curious
and polysyllabic names for 'Neve-geo
munah-coo-wa" may mean nothing more re-
spectacle and impressive than Scrub Worm,
which is the English name of one Of the
signers But sound is something, as all WHIT
have read ''The Song of Hiawatha" very vel
know. To hear a man and a brother callet
slack Paunch" shocks our benevolent sensi
bilities; but if the abdominal protuberanc
were expressed in the Cherokee language, i
would be different and better. If the Chero
kee is to have an English name, there is n
reason for giving one which is mean o
| ridiculous.
