Curious Names.


Mr.. BoUReHIER was for many years sc.
customed to jot down the out-of.t he-way
surnames which came under his notice,
in shop-windows, in directories, in par.
ish registers and elsewhere. He sent a
large budget of them to "Noses and
Queries" and we will make room for q
portion of the list by way of sample. In
letter A we find Apothecary and Ancient.
3 supplies us with Breeks, Bytheway,
Barefoot, Bodily, Birchenough and
Blrdseye. From G we obtain Curds,
Cornfield, Candle, Cakebread and Coffee.
D is represented by Dinner, Drinkall and
Dainty. E and F give us Eatwell, Friz-
zle, Freshwater, Fish and Food In G
may be found Goosey, Graygoose, Cos
ling, Greengrass. Greedy, Ginger and
Garlic. In II are Honey, Haddoek, Hag
gis, Heritage and Hogsfesh. J and L
supply Jelly, Juniper, Lunch and Long
cake; while the next three letters of the
alphabet furnish Mackerel, Mutton,
Mustard, Nice and Oysters. From P we
obtain Pigeon. Pepper, Peppercorn,
Pickles and Pheasant and from r, Ram,
Rawbone, Raspberry. In are to be
found Swine, Sheepshanks, Spice,
Shanks, Smallhorn, Snipe and Sweetap.
pie; while T gives Tongue, Thirst and
Tart.
Bourchier's budget seems to refer to
names taken from articles of food rather
than to those of any other class; but
multitudes of others have been collect
ed, which makes one marvel how such
names ever came to be devised. Moist,
Mudd, Boots, Wholebelly, Sunshine,
Jabberer, Quickfall, Vile, Whitlow, Dust,
Tattoo, Whackman, Paddle, Crackle,
Reason. Frizzle, Cobbledick, Shirt, Save
all, Hartfull-what strange medley
is here. Nor are the following less
whimsical: Thoroughkettle, Shavetail,
Hiredam, Foresight. Smalbehynd,
Strangeworm and Catchglove. A whole
cluster OF surnames may be found bear.
ing some relation to the period of life
when young people form mutual attach
ments: Gallant, Manhood and Manlove
Virgin, Treasure, Prettybody, Love,
Dearlove, Delight, Eighteen, Lovely,
Lovelock, Precious and Sweetlove
Walklate, Kindness, Joy, Jealous, Yes
and Kiss; Younghusband, Husband, Baby,
Littlechild and Littleboy. In collec-
ton OF surnames that attracted attention
in the United States were found Melady,
bICdoiOS. L ppm, iPhinJ lsAAhot ASophht
Rump, Spitfather, Saucebox, Spleen,
Smock, Sixty, Shaver, Towel, Tags,
Tankard, Vixen, Viper, Vinegar, Wal

Bairnsfsther would be proper enough for
a man, but Mrs. Bairnsfather reads
oddly. A mulatto lady, born in Barba-
does, had for the second of her three
names Ia baptismal rather than a sur.
name) the designation Blowbellows; she
dislikes it, and used merely the initial
letter. An adequate reason has been as
signed for the adoption of many peculiar
surnames in America. Settlers arriving
from Europe bring with them the names
peculiar in their respective countries
and these names, undergoing the moditi'
cations of sound and spelling so clearly
elucidated by Max Muller, gradually as
sumo a new form. Hence are believed
to have arisen Bumpus from Bon Pas
Bunker from Bon Ceur, Henderson from
Hendricksen, Buckalew from Buccleuch
and Peabody from Piebauder.-Cham

A Remarkable Book.

In 1868 P. T. Barnum wrote his Autobiogra-
ply for Burr 4 Co., the celebrated publishers
in Hartford, Conn.,, for which they paid him
$4,000. 1t maze q book of 500 pages, was
profusely illustrated, gave a particular ac-
count OF Barnum's eventful life In all parts OF
the world, and included his celebrated lecture
on THE Art Of Money Getting" Horace
Greeley pronounced the book worth hun
dred dollar greenback TO MANY a beginner in
life The publishers sold 10000 copies OF
the book by subscription. at three dollars and
half copy. In 1871, when Mr.. Barnum
started his great travelling shows, he bought
back the copyright and stereotype plates Of
his book for $4,000, added an Appendix
bringing the account Of his life up to that
date, printed an edition Of 100000 copies,
sent them with his travelling shows, and sold
the whole Of them at cost, one dollar each.
He has added an Appendix each year, which
has now increased the volume to a thousand
pages. 1t averages a sale Of 100000 copies
each year. They are neatly bound in muslin,
gilt, and sold In all his travelling shows. As
his patrons emerge from his great show tents
with his books under their arms, they look
as II coming from q circulating library! No
book in this country ever had such an enor-
nous sale, or SO abounds in curious incidents
OF real life and valuable experiences.-Ba1a-

Drinking water largely diminishes the
strength In two ways, and yet many are
under the impression that the more water
swallowed the more thoroughly is the
system washed out" Thus, the less we
drink at meals, the better for US. If the
amount were limited to a single cup of
hot tea or hot milk and water at each
meal, an Unreasonable good would re-
suit to all. Many persons have fallen
into the practice Of drinking several
glasses of cold water, or several cups of
hot tea or coffee, at meals. out of mere
habit; all such viii be greatly benefited
by breaking 1t up at once; 1t may be
very well to drink little at each meal,
and, perhaps, it will be found that in all
cases it is much better to take single
cup of hot tea at each meal than glass

/ Six clerks have already. been dis
charged from the Post Office depart
ment for having been connected with
the mail contract frauds, and, as the
Postmaster General and the Second
Assistant Postmaster are still engaged
in investigating the manner in which
the postal routes in various States
were awarded, it is probable that
many more of the clerks will be simi-
larly dismissed. The case Of these
young men who were led aside from the
path of rectitude is extremely painful.
Henceforth, perhaps for their whole
lives, they will bear about with them
an odor of dishonesty. They will have
to struggle under many an undeserved
sneer of suspicion into watever walk of
suspicion into whatever walk Of life
they may enter. The record they have
made will stand against them at times
and in situations when character of
incorruptabiilty is of extreme value.
People will hesitate to trust them; and
it will require long years of patient ef-
fort to restore their own self-respect
and the respect and confidence Of their
neighbors.
The case Of these young men is full
Of instruction and warning to all in po-
sitions of trust. There was too-pre-
vailing notion few years ago. among
those deceived and glamoured by the
iniquitous rocket like rise of Fisk and
the barbaric splendor of the Tammany
Ring, that all persons in responsible
positions should make every use Of
their situations to make money; and
if person refrained from soiling his
hands with illegitimate gain he was
apt to be sneered at as an imbecile. A
better public sentiment has now begu,
to be manifested. It is seen that :
good name is better than any amour
of money; that the barter of characte,
for cash is but sorry bargain. Twee'
in the penitentiary has preached ser
mon Of vast practical value. 1t ha
shown that money cannot create nobili
ty; that dishonesty cannot create nobi]
ity; that dishonesty can destroy ever
claim to respect, and ruin utterly
mans prospects in life.-Witness.
