Origin of Indian Names.

The Sioux Indians name their pappooses
after events transpiring at the time of their
birth. AS illustrative Of this peculiar trait,
Red Cloud Is known to have taken that
name from the fact that the western sky
was oyerspread with red clouds at the mo-
ment Of his birth, while the bringing Of q
captive horse with spotted tail gave the
now great chief the singular cognomen Of
Spotted Tail. Sitting Bull received this
name because 4 buffalo bull was, By i lucky
shot, thrown upon IFS launches In plain
sight Of his mothers tepeo at the natal
hour, while the oavorting Of fractions

A Sordid ..Death-Bed Marriage.


In 1870, says the Virginia (Nevada) En-
terprsse, Mrs. O'Brien, a widow with three
daughters, married Jim Farrell, the Twelfth
Ward politician, who had been bar-keep-
er for her husband. In April, 1873, she OBJ
tanned divorce on the ground of cruelty
on Farrelrs part, brought about by hard
drink. In 1876 she began to suffer from
paralysis and apoplexy, which produced her
death ON the 30th of April, 1876. Just
previous to her death, on the Sd of April,
Farrell appeared at her bedside, with
Justice Pennie and grave-digger from the
Masonic cemetery, and the twain were re-
married. Immediately after the ceremony
Farrell produced a will, and it was signed
by his wife, making him sole legatee Of her
property, which amounted to $50. 900, and
leaving her children utterly destitute. The
will was set aside yesterday.

What Women are Doug.

One of the first American pictures, if not
the first sold at the Centennial Exhibition
is that of "Guenevere, by young New
York artist-Miss Mary B. Odenhelmer of
No. 7ss Broadway. The artist is daugh-
ter of Bishop Odenheimer, of Northern
New Jersey. The price was 1000.
George Eliot's (Mrs. Lewes) new novel,
Daniel Derondd," is the most powerful
she has written, especially in point of
misunderstanding. Itgiyes her precedence
easily as the first of living novelists. In
one of it's earlies chapters the great genius
who has studied human life so thoroughly
has this tender and truthful word for the
| dream girls who as yet do not know it at
all: "What III the midst of the mighty
| drama of life are girls and their blind vis-
| ionsP They are the yea and nay of that
| good for which men are enduring and
fighting. In these delicate vessels are
borne onward through ages the treasure Of
human affections"
At the present time there are only two
women in the United States notable for
first-elass engraving on steel. These are
Miss Sartain, daughter of Mr.. John Sartain
Chief of the Art Department. Of the Gen.
tennial Exhibition, and Mrs. Wormley, of
Columbus, O. Miss Sartain had the good
fortune to be educated in her art by her
accomplished father, whose task of en-
craving Rothermel's latest picture of the
"Battle of Gettysburg" she lately returned
from Europe to assume in part, that he
might accept the honorable appointment
offered to him. Mrs. Worm1ey, who first
became expert IN drawing, devoted herself
to the illustration of q largo work which
her husband, a distinguished chemist,
wrote on poisons. After she finished the
drawings they were sent to some eastern
city to be engraved. A difficulty arose
no engraver could be found willing to un-
dertake the microscopic work required. 1t
was the opinion of the engraYers who were
consulted that only the artist who drew
the pictures could successfully engrave
them. Thus compelled to finish the work,
the wife of DR.. Wormley lea. ned the ait
of engraving, engraved the plates, and
enjoys the honor of having contributed SO
largely to the beauty and completeness of
celebrated scientific treatise.
Some of the most delicate and beautiful
work in the Woman's Department of the
Expo "ition is tho carved furniture. The
majority of it is sent by the Cincinnati
School of Design.

Mrs. Corinne Young has composed an

BOHEMIAN, SEPT. 10th.
Homie Pronunciation.

A traveller who visited the old home OF
Charlotte Bronte, at Haworth, some years
since, relates that he found it very hard to
make peasant in the neighborhood under
stand whittier he wanted to go. He tried
various fanclful pronunciations of the name,
but none of them seemed to convey any
definite impression to the mans mind. At
last the countryman said: operas the
gentleman means Horth?' This proved to
be just what the gentleman did mean;
whereupon the other exclaimed Well,
then, if you meant Horth, why didn't you
sag Horth ?"
This affords a good illustration of the
frequent variance between the orthography
of geographical names and their "home
pronunciation" In England many places
whose titles are really significant and ap-
propriate receive in ordinary conversation
among their inhabitants, designations
which are not only meaningless, but often
very ridiculous. And, as the original is
seldom changed to agree with the colloquial
form, such difficulties as the one experien-
ced by the traveller just mentioned must
often occur
A stranger who should desire to GO to

to be understood, to ask the way to Smiffel;

quently, on the continent. A traveller
wishing to be directed to the capital of
Wurtemberg would probably have some
difficulty in making himself understood if
he were unaware that the common people
pronounce the name Shtugg'rt, while the
German name for Munich (Munchen) must
be turned, in intercourse with the inhabi-
tants thereof, into something like Minshen.
Frenchmen, as a rule, substitute an ex-
plosive, short, nasal sound for their geo.

foreigner would suppose to be the proper
pronunciation. In their mouths the old

How to Tell a Horses Age.
From the Washington Chronicle.


The colt is born with twelve grinders !;
when four front teeth have made their ap-
pearance the colt is twelve days old, and
when the next four comes forth it is four
weeks old. When the corner teeth appear
the colt is eight months old when the lat
ter have attained to the heighto of the front
teeth it is one year old. The two-year-old
colt has the kernel (the substance in the
middle of the tcoth's CROWN grown out in
all the front teeth. In the third year the
middle front teeth are being shifted, and
when three years old these are substituted
by the horse teeth. The next four teeth
are shifted in the fourth year, aud the cor
ner teeth in the fifth. At six years the
kernel is worn out of the lower middle front
teeth, and the bride teeth have now at
tanned to their full growth. At seven years
hook has been formed in the corner teeth
of the upper jaw, the kernel Of the next at
the middle is worn out, and the bIidle teeth
begin to wear off At eight years the kernel
is worn out of the lower front teeth, and

A SEASIDE INCIDENT.

"Why, Bob, You dear old fellow,
Where have you been these years?
In Egypt, India. Khiva,
With the Khan's own volunteers
Have scaled the Alps or Andes,
Sailed to isles of Amazons?
What climate, Bob has wrought the change =
Your face from brown to bronze 2"
She placed dimpled hand in mine,
In the same frank, friendly way;
We stood once more Oh the dear old beach,
And it seemed but yesterday
Since, standing on the same white shore,
She said with eyelids wet
''Good-by. You may remember, Bob,
But shall not forget"
held her hand and whispered low
"Madge, darling, what of the years
The two long years that have intervened
Since, through the mist of tears,
We looked good-by on this same white beach,
Here by the murmuring sea?
You, Madge, were then just twenty,
And was twenty three"
A crimson blush came to her cheek,
"Hush. Bob," she quickly said;
'sLet's look at the bathers in the surf
There's Nellie and cousin Ned
''And who's that portly gentleman
On the shady side of life 2"
"Oh, he belongs to our party, too
In fact, Bob, I'm his wife.
'And tell you, Bob, it's an awful thing,
The way he does behave
Flirts with that girl in steelgray silk
Bob, why do you look SO grave7"
1.-THE fact is, Madge, I---well, ahem
oh, nothing at all, my dear
Except that she OF the steel-gray silk
Is the one married last year."

As to General Gibbon, he has had orders
to obey, and obeying them as in duty
| bound, he has incurred the censure of many
of us who had hoped for more from the
Montana column. It is but just to state
that letters from the front now uphold Glib
bon where they not long since condemned
him.
So also it is said of Terry. He has been
hampered with orders which he could not
ignore and escape the penalty of insubor-
dination. Had he followed his own iudg-
ment, only to disaster, how great the howl
we would have Joined to raise.

Tongue River location will be held anyway
by the 9th and 22d Infantry and the 9Th

Terry has orders to discontinue the active

The Montana troops may return uia Bu-
ford, and may yet be heard of from the re-
gion of Fort Peck.
Orders had been issued Git is reported) to
ship all the supplies to Buford, and aban-

Strange Cure for Deformity.

Saratoga Letter to Cincinnati Enquirer
There is cornet player in Gilmore's band
who but recently walked like a terrapin,
his belly almost ON the ground. He was
suspended by the chin and arm-pits by DIR.
Sayre, and incased in a "plaster of Paris =
socket, and now blows his horn with re-
dundant lungs, an object of interest to his
species, particularly to physicians. The
manner of his cure is, like all signal dis
coveries, so simple that it excites a smile
for the worlds long obtuseness TO the art.
The hunchback is hanged up by an appa-
ratus which raises the chin, throws the
head back slightly, and straps under the
arm-pits, throwing the body in its natural
gravity, relieving the oppressed respiratory
organs and the heart, and without pain OF
exertion strengthening the spine. So far
from being distressed at the unwonted re-
taxation of the muscles, cartilages and or
gans, the patient exclaims with delight
upon the relief he feels. While suspended
and the spine fully returned to the perpen-
dicular, bucket of plaster is brought IN,
the basis of which is of a strong texture
and the covering Of wet plaster OF Paris.
One by one these bandages are wrapped
around the chest and back, and the plaster
is pressed into every recess and wrinkle of
the trunk, where it sets and hardens, and
an outer integument or shell is formed
around the patient, SO close and yet 50 light
and so we'll identified with the body that It
fits easily like a kid glove, yet binds the
trunk like q corset This or successive
plasters iskept upon the patient for months,
or, according to the viciousness Of the cas4a
until the spine has resumed It's ncyyffma
grace and consistency, and becomes firm
like crooked tree hassaaslaig hassszsaslaga into shane.
Thus the SANG plaster ii which the sculp-
tor has FOR ages made forms Of beauty con-
tanned the medicinal suggestion for more
human models. Apelles and D0natello had
cast the plaster into dumb forms, at which
4 poor, enyious hnnchbacks looked with hu-
initiation, and passed along for generations
ashamed and unloved. The surgeon came
at last and touched the plaster, and left its
virtues for a human heart, and the statues
he resolved incased the grateful hearts Of
men and women.

Too Much Scripture.

A Slab for Sale.-The building commit
tee of church recently finished in New
Jersey wanted stone slab over the door
with the name of the church and scrip
tural motto. 1t occurred to them that
nothing could be better than Ny house
shall be called house Of prayer" So one
of the committeeman, who was in a great
hurry, told the stone-cutter TO chisel the
18th verse of the 21st chapter of Matthew.
He thought the verse ended with the words
he wanted TO use. The stone-cutter took
the whole verse from the Bible and faith
fully copied it to the end. Imagine the
horror of the committeeman when the
stone was delivered 1t read: Ny house
shall be called house of prayer but ye have
made it den of thieves" The stone-
cutter insisted that he obeyed orders, but
the committee men insisted that tho motto
he inscribed was not wanted, and that it
would be of no particular use to them.
That slab is now in the stnne.cutter yard,
and anybody who wants it for a tombstone
can probably buy it cheap.

POETRY.
FAREWELL TO SUMMER.

FAREWELL TO SUMMER.
Summer is fading; the broad leaves that grew
So freshly green when June was young are falling
And all the whisper-haunted forest through
The restless birds in saddened tones are calling
From rustling hazel copse and tangled dell,
Farewell, sweet summer
Fragrant, fruity summer,
Sweet fare well!"
Upon the windy hills. in many field,
The honey-bees hum slow aboYe the clover,
Cleaning the latest sweets its blooms may yield,
And, knowing that their harvest time is over,
Sing, half lullaby and half knell,
Farewell, sweet summer,
Honeyladen summer
Sweet farewellt"
The little brook that babbles mid the ferns,
Ger twisted roots and sandy shadows playing,
Seems fain to linger in its eddied turns,
And with plaintive puriing voice is saying,
Sadder and sweeter than than my tongue can tell:
Farewell, sweet summer,
Warm and dreamy summer,
Sweet farewellr'
The attul breeze sweeps down the winding lane.
With gold and crimson leaves before it flying;
Its gustY laughter has no sound of pain,
Bnt in the lulls it sinks to gentle sighing,
And mourns the summers early broken spell
Farewell, sweet summer
Rosy, blooming summer.
Sweet farewellr'
So bird and bee and brook and breeze make moan,
With melancholy song their loss complaining;
l. too, must join them as walk alone
Among the sights and sounds of summers waning
/, too ha We loved the season passing we'll
So farewell, summer,
Fair but faded summer,
Sweet farewell i-Geoyge arnold.

less, but the eXchangeable value
