How Indians Get Their Names.

Ii has doubtless seemed surprising to
many people in reading the accounts Of
Modoc troubles, that the Indians should
be content to bear such absurd and un
complimentary names as Shack Nasty
Frank, Hooker Jim, Bogus Charley aad
the rest. The matter is explained in an
article in the Savannah News, by Mayor
Jones, who, ''years ago, when clerk to the
Governor of Florida, assisted in paying
annuities to the Seminoles and Apaches,
and dealing out for their papooses such
Dames as Washington, Jackson, Lafayette,
Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Metamora,
Paul Pry, Zip Coon. Hail Columbia,
Yankee Doodle and Others" The explaua
tion is az follows:
''lndian names, which are often signif
cant OF some personal characteristic, or
some feat performed by those who wear
them, are rarely conferred until the
individual has passed the pappoose period
Thus in every tribe there is a large mum
Der of Indian youths without names All
the tribes with which the United States
government holds treaty relations. who
have been swindled out of their lands
from time to time, and removed to new
reservatins only to be driven from them
as the white settlement encroach and the
lands are wanted by squatters and specu-
lators, have for years been 10 the habit
of receiving brbes in the shape of
annuitles In money, which are divided
pro rata among the chiefs and warriors
Under liberal construction of the Indian
treaties every male, if but month old,
is accounted warrior, and his pareut
receives for him his part of the annuity
"In the payment of the annui;ies, the
government, for the purpose of obtaining
a census of the males of tribe, requires
that the agent aud his clerks shall enter
every warriors name in duplicate books,
which, with his cross mark affixed, is a
receipt to the government for the money
he receives. Thus, it will be seen, every
warrior if he is only month old, must
have name to entitle him to the gov
ernment pittance. These nameless war
riors receive names from the Indian
agents, their assistants and clerks, who
often tax their ingenuity and expose their
want Of good taste iu giving them un
meaning and ridiculous epithets-names
which mar the nomenclature of Indian
tribes. Singularly enough, when these
names are given and recorded in the book
of record, the Indians, catching the
words though ignorant of their meaning,
adhere to the names given
their children, believing that by chang
ing them they would forfeit their annuity
rights"

"A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Rutbnrg, Fourth avenue, this city,

partaking of sustenance up tiff within
three days of its death. 1t was buried
last evening. The coffin measured fifteen
inches in length, aud was four inches

free OF cost. Calling upon a wealthy far

County Auditors" The men then cut
the sheet into slips, turned them over aud

The judgment of the Court of Dauphin
county in the case Of John Glatfelter vs.
the Commonwealth, has been reversed by
the Supreme Court and decision rem
dered in favor of the plaintiff. The fol
lowing is statement of the case : John
Glatfelter was Treasurer of York county
for the years 1868 and 1869, and receiv-
ed the military taxes for these years. He
paid out the funds according to the or
ders of the County Commissioners, and
his military accounts were separately
audited by the County Auditors at the
end Of each year. At the end of his
term he paid the balance in his hands to
John Nj. Detch, his successor in Office,
and received back his bonds In the
month of August, 1871, the Auditor Gen
eral settled accounts against Mr.. Glatfel
ter, charging him with military tax
amounting to S2,452 l3. He took an
appeal from this settlement, and the case
was tried at Harrisburg in the spring of
1872 On the trial of the case Judge
Pearson instructed the jury that the ac.
tion of the County Auditors was void, the
law giving them jurisdiction being re
pealed, that their settlement was no de
defense, and that the Auditor General
had power to resettle the accounts. The
jury found in the Commonwealth 50 ,26S
85. Mr.. Glatfeltcr took a writ of error,
and the Supreme Court decided that the
County Auditors are the proper persons
to settle the accounts of County Treasur
ers of the military fund and other State
taxes, and they having settled Mr. Glat
felter's accounts, from which no appeal
was taken by the Commonwealth, accord
to law, their action is conclusive, and con
sequcntly the Auditor General has no
right to resettle the accounts

Several parties in this city, says the
Reading Eagle, have discovered symp.
toms of new disease among their horses,
which may prove as disastrous as did the
epizootic of last year. Horses are un-
able to eat are restless, impatient and
feverish. They are troubled with an ap-
parent tickling sensation in the throat,
and do not eat their customary quantities
of food AS yet there is no apparent
trouble resulting from it, as the horses
perform their work as usual, notwith-
standing the fact that some or them have
not been eating much Of anything for
several days. Experienced horsemeu
pronounce it a relic of the disease of last
year.
