ABOLITION OF COMMON NAMES.

PROJECT FOR THE RELIEF OF THE SMITHS,
JONEsEs, BROWNS, RoBINsONs AND OTHERS.
To ire Edifor Of me Trtbune.
SIR: have taken the liberty to write you
in respect to subject Of seeming unimportance refer
10 the simple matter of the of persons. The sys-
TEN OF naming persons in English-spcakng coun-
tries, and the character of the names when
gven unlike most other matters which relate to our
daily use and interests, has been permitted
to follow its OF natural development.
We name the after the father, although usually
giving different baptsmal name. The consequence OF
this custom is that many names have become OF such
that they have almost lost the character Of
names at ALL as for instances Smith, Brown, Jones' john
son. Davis. Miller, ETC. There are persons In every COM
munty whom TO designate 1t is necessary to utter some
other qualifying term in order that the hearcr may under
stand who meant This Inconvenience Is felt by per-
sons who have the misfortune TO be bearers OF com
mon name and by those who have business relations with
them 1t will be necessary to sort OF prejudice
which exists against mans changing his name and
sort of false pride in adbering to ones name
do not feel competent suggest the method by which
it ought to be applied but it would seem that tins plan
might bring about the end desired namely, simply fOf
each male person old enough aud desiring to do So TO
select other and adopt it, or course, 1t VIII
be useless TO include women in this arrangement, as
they have already method by which they may change
their names The husband might adopt the name Of the
wife should that namo be preferable or as in
spain the husband and wife might each retain his and
her own name. and the children adopt whichever
name they might choose Of the two. SO lar
as the legal effect is concerned, 1t was held and
decided by the courts long ago that person may change
his or her name and adopt another at pleasure This is
personal privilege which the courts will not attempt
to abridge But to avoid any question the name might
be changed in the method provided Dy special statute
I'm every State and Territory The proceedings in
that would be preserved matter of record and
evidence of the change. might have said in connection
with the mention of the prejudice which exists against
the changing OF names, that if the measure proposed
could be made popular in any particular locality the
movement would sweep over the country.

years and believe his pie to have been at the bottom Of

VALUE OF CLASSICAL EDUCATION

supremacy Of the present age that comparatively
little attention bestowed classical studies II
make OF but English books or If we do not
beyond the literature OF living nations there is danger Of
being affected with foreign faint; OF supporting
our intellectual existence by ament not perfectly suited
TO our condition. There particular reasons why
classic learning should be cultivated In this country,
ii IL q free nation and there should be limits to in
qury II desirable that the condition OF man in every
ago should be known; that human nature should be
studied under her it, aspects that every branch OF soc
cety and every form OF government should be under
stood Ancient literature has become the common prop
erty Of mankind and what better inheritance
can a country receive from tho ancient re-
pubes than the writings which contain the
thoughts and sentiments Of their finest minds
The noble characters which distinguished the varions
epochs the history OF the ancient republics have been
Justly held up for models OF imitation The most eminent
and distinguished men in OatOTy, poetry history, law.
etc. have been well yorsed In the languages, and have
had their minds early mbued with love Of these chaste
and polished models Of antiquity. Why then should not

IIhe obligations to collect the customs revenues
IN gold gold certificates, and demand notes, ana 10
establish and maintain the Sinking Fund are imposed
ON the Government by Section of the Act OF Feb.
25. 1862, which authorized the issue OF the FlVe-
twenty bonds of 1862 If the United States were
weak nation like Peru or Italy, proposition 10 COZ
ec its duties in deprecated paper and to disregard
the Sinking Fund would be considered as step
toward reputation. We conceive that the superior
financial strength of the United States does not alter
the case. No one disputes that we can collect the
duties in gold and also raise thirty or forty millions
q year and apply it to the payment OF the PuOhc
Debt.
On the other hand, the collection of the duties IN
rreenbacks would not make the gold premium IN
the long run a particle lower The real support OF
the premium is the constant drain on our stock OF
that metal for expectation. Could the shipments OF
gold be stopped, the gold premium would very soon
disappear As the acceptance of greenbacks for
duties would have no tendency to turn the eX-
changes in our favor. gold would continue to be as
scarce and consequently dear ever. Less paper
and lower prices would favorably influence the ex-
changes and the destruction of million dollars IN
greenbacks each month. as our correspondent pro
poses. would infallibly lead to exporting more
and importing leSs.-Edl
