Names of Countries.

The following countries, it is sail /,
were originally named by the Pheni-
clans, the greatest commercial peo-
pie in the world. The names in the
Ptenician language signify some-
thing characteristic of the places des-
ignated. Europe signifies country
of white complexion, SO named be-
cause the inhabitants were Ct light
err complexion than those of Asia or
Africa. Asia signifies between or 10
the middle, from the fact that geog-
raphers placed it between Europe
and Africa. Africa signifies the land
of corn or ears. 1t was celebrated
for it's abundance of corn and all
sorts of grain. Siberia signifies
thirsty or dry characteristic.
Spain, country of rabbits or comics.
1t was once so infested with these
animals that they sued Augustus for
an army to destroy them. Italy, a
country of pitch, from its yielding
great quantities of black pitch.
Gaul, modern France, signifies yell
low-haired, as yellow hair character
lied its inhabitants.
The English of Caledonia is high
bill. This was rugged, mountain
GUS province in Scotland. Hibernia
is uLtermost or last habitation, for
beyond this, westward the Ph9n i-
clans never extended their voyages
Britain, the country of tin, great
quantities being found on it and ad-
lacent islands. The Greeks called it
Albion, which signified in the Pbm'
nician tongue either white or high
mountains, from the whiteness OF It's
shores or the high rocks on the west
ern coast. Corsica signifies the foot
steps of men, which it resembles.
Syracuse signifies bad SAVIOR, so call
ed from the wholesome marsh on
which it stood Rhodes, serpents or
dragons, which it produced in abund-
ance. Sicily, the country of grapes.
ScyIla, the whirlpool of destruction.
1Esna signifies furnace, or dark and
smoky

Every Man for Himself and the Devil
Take the Hindmost.

This is the motto of the sturdy logic
of these latter days, and it is urged
with all the vociferous. vigor of new
discovery, though it is as ancient as
the day when Cain asked defantly,
Am / my brothers keeper ? Homely
as the proverb sounds, it contains
the essence of our civilization, and is
faithful epitome of the methods by
which the present condition of society
has been reached. The rich, the
strong, the fortunate come out victo-
rious in the hand TO hand contest
with the world, but the hindmost-
well the Devil gets him. Who is he
this hindmost man, and why is he
hindmost?
lie learned a trade when he was
young, and got along after fashion
but last Winter nearly all the wooleu
and cotton mills shut down, and he,
fifty thousand of him, was thrown out
OF a job He could not very well
help it for he had nothing to say
about it whether the mills should be
kept running or not, and when he
looked interrogatively in the eyes of
those in the front ranks they replied
as they laid their hands on the ducats
be helped them accumulate. This is
free country, every man for himself,
look around and do as well as you can.
He started to look around became
hungry, asked for work for food, but
was told that times were hard, the
mills had all stopped, business was at
a standstill, and the best thing he
could do would be to push on and
see what he could find to do. He
pushed on He began to look gaunt,
his eyes twinkled mischievously, he
tramped from town to town, fifty
thousand of him, and he kept thinking
sometimes bitter, hard thoughts,
He was joined by large army of
clerks from Washington, for the
Government had discovered the nee
essity ofeconomy, and had discharged
its "useless employees Fresh ac-
cessions came to him from the dock
yards and the arsenals because expen-
ses had to be cut down. He wander

part at every turn, from workshops,
factories, foundres, public works and
private enterprises for the pressure
Of the times made itimperative on the
government corporations and indivld
ual, to cut down expenses. He
could find nothing to do and at times
glowered wildly at respectable peo-
pie. In fact he got rather reckless
and impudent till decent people be-
came afraid of him, and declared him
a dangerous nuisance, a lazy vagabond
"a tramp.
They wondered why he did not go

and they met in conventins, and
legislatures and pronunced him an
outlaw. They condemned him to
prison, and advised responsibility to
keep a shot gun handy to defend itself
when he came marauding around the
quiet homes of law abiding people.
In the mean time he, the hindmost
man, was holly pursued by the Devil.
He took to drinking, and became at
last the dangerous character respecta-
bilty declared him to be.

the most vulnerable man that ever
ran for the Presidency. And that,
too, without prying at all into his
private character. Nothing irrelev-
ant to his trustworthiness in Office has
been inquired into. His virtue, tech
nically speaking, and his religion are
not brought into the discussion, which
has been confined to those traits of
character and habits of action and
thought which bear directly upon
ones fitness for political response
bility. 1t has been found that he
was disloyal to the Union, dishonest
in business, and, above all, perjurer.
/. was this latter discovery which has
revolutionized the tactics of the De-
mocracy. TTnahle te meet Lnat charge,
compelled to adopt the finished ex-
cuses, or suffer in silence-and "only
silence suiteth best''-the Democrats
now cry out piteously against often
sive personality. They are the Ham,
an of modern politics. They erected
a gallows and made ready for a grand
hanging "bee," but to their conster.
nation the Ahasuerus of facts has
decreed that the Haman who "build-
ed better than he knew" shall patron
ize his own gibbet AS a matter of
course, he don't like it.
"No wretch e'er felt the halter draw.
With good opinion of the law"
1t is of the utmost Importance that
the people should know what sort of
a man Samnel J. Tilden is, and the
Republican press would be derelict in
duty if it failed to expose and set
forth his record. It is no fault of
ours that he was a copperhead,
railroad wrecker and perjurer. We
do not suppose the party would have
nominated him had they known him
as thay now do; but that was their
own misfortune. He has not been
traduced. Every accusation has been
abundantly verified, aud the worst of
