| What Constitutes the ss ssChrfstian Name y
and What the Surname.
From the london Hour
1t will be some time before the world
| is satisfied that "Sir William Harcourt"
| is the same man that it knew as Mr.
Vernon Harcourt, who in due course re-
| ceived the honor of knighthoOd on bs-
| ing made her majesty's solicitor gem
| eral. Why not Sir Vernon Harcourt? {?
it may be asked and why are all the
| five christian names-Wilham, George,
Granville, Venables, Vernon-under
which the new solicitor-general was gaz-
zetted, is first chosen? The answer is
| that, although in fact Sir vii lam Har-
court boasts so many christian names,
he, like everyone else, can have legally
only one christian name. Lord Coke long
ago laid down the law that imam may
have divers names at divers times, but not
divers christian names; he cannot have
two names of baptism as he may have
divers surnames." There are cases in
the law books where indictments have
been quashed because the accused was
described by two christian names
Pleading is not so strict at the present
day, end such a defect would only give
rise to an amendment, but still the law
remains the same. The law IS not
precise" says Chief Justice Popham in
Queen Elizabeth's reign, Sin the case of
surnames, but for the christian name
this ought always to be perfect" 4" Every
one knows that the possessOr of a sur
name which hurts his vanity can chang
it by simply inducing his friends to
call him something else, without the
publication through the herald's Office
or deed-poll, to which resort IS some
times made. On the other hand it is
not so we'll known that a christian name
cannot be changed except by act of par
lament. and there have been several in-
stances of such changes taking place IN
that. In some of the states of America
a mode of changing a surname in the
county court Is provided; but this does
not make it essential for n man on
changing his surname to apply to the
county court. as has been decided in
the case of a person bearing the Unen-
yiable name of Shook, which seems to be
even less desirable than the same word
in the plural form. Indeed, in America
they appear to be more loyal to the old
principle of the unity of the christian
name than we are for, although a sec
ond name is frequently added, yet its
owner is generally spoken of by the first
christian name, together with the initial
letter of the second, as Ulysses S.
Grant, Hersehell v. johnson, etc. in
England the accumulation of christian
names generally arises from desire to
call the rising generation after more
than ono member of the previous gen.
Grafton but the compliment would not
appear so marked If it were generally /
known that the first of the string only
is the legal name. Besides, the typical
proud parent who always believes that
his son is going to be lord chancellor,
should be directed to the case of MIR. |
Vernon Harcourt, and should avoid |
''divers names" for his child, lest some
day or other it should lead to the confu- !
sicn of his identity.

Father O'Leary, n learned and witty
Franciscan friar, who was received IN
the best society of London in the latter
part of the last century, was introduced
to DR.. johnson by some mutual friends
who wished TO see two such men togeth-
er. johnson, perhaps a little annoyed
by the great popularity of the Irish
wit, greeted him at once iR the Hebrew
language, with which Father OLeary
was not acquainted. Turning away, in
a contemptuous manner, johnson said
"This Is a pretty fellow you have brought
here; ne is ignorant OF th oldest spoken
language IN the world" BY this time
OTIeary had recovered frem his sur
prise. He coTrteously bowed 70 John
son, and addressed him huentiy in G few
sentences of q tongue which. as his
manner indicated, was entirely strange
TO johnson. Then turning 70 the gen
tleman who had brought him 70 the
great champion Of literature. Olseary
exclaimed ''Call you him learned ?

he evidently does not know the mean

had addressed him in the resonant YER

his own trap, was highly amused by the
Franciscan's ready promptitude IN turn
ing the table made gruh apology for
his own rudeness, sat down 20 enjoy
whole evenings company OF bis new
friend, and ever after expressed and
manifested the highest regard Tor him.

STEAM ROAD CAHIsIAGEs.-Steam lo-
eomotion on the common highway has
long been the subject Of expert
ment and invention, which has Hitherto
resulted IN little of practical value.
An eminent Scotch engineer, Though,
has lately introduced a road steamer
upon the streets OF GlRsgos that seems
TO be absolutely free from objection OF
any kind. The engine attached 10 the
road-carrisge is very simple In its con
struction, and is 80 much under control
that Il is possible 70 stop the carriage
when travelling at the rato Of six miles
an hour, within a distance Of fifteen
feet An annulus, provided for the
emission Of steam IN a continuous how,
prevents the noise Of pnfing and Enolt-
ing Of the engine, and obyiates All dir
Guilty and danger Of horses sbying OK
becoming frightened. The inventor Of
this road-steamer has applied his prin-
oiples in the manufacture Of q private
travelling carriage, and proposes 70
build steam omnibuses for city con-
veuience and traffic. The small private
carriage, after many experiments, N the
most crowded streets Of Glasgow was
found to be perfectly manageable and
almost noissless while the steam on
nibus. Il is believed, would prove
equally 80, and be from forty 70 Atty
uer cent. more remuneratfve 70 its
owner than the ordinary horse omnibus

Frightened at Night.


Children of active imaginations have
hours of torture at night, by calling up
visions and shapes of terror suggested
by their reading. It Is useless to scold
at them, and cruel to laugh at them, for

cannot change. Sarah Coleridge, the
daughter of the poet and philosopher,
passed through untold agony from tins

to haunt her chamber. Millions picture

GRAIN FOR PoULTRY.-There is no
other grain that is relished 50 we'll by
fowls as Indian corn. It must always
continue to be, as now, the American
poulterer's reliance, for, although too
fattening to use in certain cases, 1t pos
sesses more nutriment for the price
than any other grain, and is always to
be obtained. Corn can be given ground
and unground, raw and cooked. Oats
we prefer ground fine, as otherwise tn
hulls are too harsh and bulky. With
wheat-bran and middlings, wheat in the
kernel, barley and buckwheat, there
need be no difficulty in avoiding monot-
ony. Rye, though the poorest grain Of
all, may be given eelsiOnally, and
brewers grains If convenient.

They have a big sensation in
Philadelphia. Some time ago
a child named q. B. Ross was
mysterlously abducted by a
couple of men who took it in
a carriage for a ride This is
the story Of the companion OF
the boy who was with him al
the time. No trace of the child
has yet been had, although de-
tectlves have been offered large
rewards. Anonymous letters,
offering to restore the child for
a large money consideration,
have been received by the par
ents, who have agreed to pay
it, but still the child does pot
come. The Mayor of Philadel
phla now offers a reward Ct
$4,000 for the capture of the
abductors Of the child and its
restoration to its parents. The
case excites great interest in
he city.
