.Arkansas or Arkau.av-,

The Daily ChronteIe Is publishing, on this
question, "paper" in three numbers, from the
pen Of DIR. Thomas Foster, the successor to
Schoolcrsft's old historiogrspher desk in the
Indian Bureau. 1t Il historically, and In an
antiquarian wsy, quite interesting, but some
what long for . newspaper article. 1t used, in
the olden time, to be one Of the standing jokes
of the U. s. Senate chamber, that one Senator
from the very state whose name Is in dispute
always called 1t Arkansas, while the other
always spoke OF it as Arkan-sdr: Of which
popularity stephen A. Douglass sometimes
awaited himself In debate to bring q d gnified
smile upon the countenance of members by
gravely and generously addressing one (Sebas-
tian, } as "the Honorable Senator from Arkan-
saw, and the other, (Johnson,) in as grave but
more iattened voice, as "the Honorable Senator
from Arkansas" In this connection, we recall TO
mind the old legend Of lawyer John Longs sign
TO attract customers.
"John Long Of Arkansdc:
The tallest man that ever you saw"
And its too tall variation by Johns too short
enemies:
"John Long, Attorney at Law,
The man that tcGded the Arkansdu'"
Besides, who has not heard of the "Arkan-
sdV Traveller" Who ever heard Of the CAR
kansas Traveller"
We think DR.. Foster is in fair way to estab-
lish that the earliest style of writing the name
of tribe, river and state was with q terminal
al; that the afterwards added "s' in the French
mode of spelling it, was sometimes to indicate
the plural, but that generally the said SIS" was
entirely silent, its use at the end of the name
having only the effect Of broadening the sound
of the previous vowel al Also 1t is a fact that
the masses Of the people Of the state give its
name no Other than the broadest terminal
information in ar: in which usage we think they
have potential right to demand all outsiders
should concur; and it would be better also to
drop the final "s'' alike In sounding and in
writing and printing the name-perhaps adding
"w" instead when putting the name on paper.

The recent destructive fire in Belfast, Me-,
reached the dwellings Of the poor in that city,
and there is much suffering in consequence.
Not only were the homes of many of the labor
ing classes swept away, but the large business
houses and industrial establishments in which
they worked were destroyed, and they are thus
unable now to provide themselves with the ne
cessaries of life temporarily. The mayor Of the
city publishes an earnest appeal for and, to
