Winnie Ream'S Lover.

Winnie Ream is reported to be think
ing seriously of taking a husband
There is a young man very devoted to
the bright little sculptures. She is a
pretty, dark-eyed, animated young
genius, and has had no lack of admirers.
This is really, though said to be serious,
and believe rumor for once. [ saw.
not long ago, a couple in a phaton,
under a mammoth yallow umbrella,
going at pace as leisurely as the
snails, down a clay-red hill, on de-
serted road, with a broken bridge at the
foot. it was just the place and Just the
pace for lovers. They were surprised
when our team dashed around cor
ner in the lonely woods, but the pretty
Miss bowed and smiled in dreamy non
chalance. We had been around Blad-
ensburg, in Maryland, trying to find the
famous dueling- ground and the battle
field of Bladensburg, and did find it,
and examined the bulldt-holes in an
old mill, and as we were coming back,
to Washington, got lost, and nearly
broke our necks over the broken bridge,
and just beyond the bridge, met the
devoted pair. Miss Winnie has given
the last touches to her statue Of Admir-
al Farragut, for which the government
pays $4,000. He is represented in
naval cap and uniform, sword and belt,
as he stood on the deck of the Hartford,
during the seige of New Orleans. One
foot rests on block and coil of of rope;
and he is in the act of raising the field
glass to his eye. The statue is of q
heroic size, that is about seven feet tall
A platform is necessary to enable the
the small sculptures to reach the grand
head of the hero On the scafold, in
her fanciful working dress, giving little
pats and creases to the soft clay, Miss
Winnie looks charming. She is an
industrious woman and the statue
just completed WILDE by Tar her best.
It will be cast in brohze at Chicopee,
Mass.

Killing Whale.

A recent Mosehead City, N. c., dis
patch thus describes fight with whale:
!" On Tuesday there was the most ex-
citing and dangerous whale fight that
has ever occurred on this coast. 1t was
with some difficulty that the captain of
the crew could get his men to obey or
ders. When the first bomb was fired
into the whale it failed to explode. but
it made the whale furious, and be struck
one ofthe boats, and knocked it some
feet above the water. The captain then
fired another bomb. This also failed
to explode. The fight was still getting
more furious. The third bomb was
fred and exploded near the heart.
This conquered the monster The
blood spouted about ten feet high, and
as the crew rushed up to stick their
lances in the whale the blood fell in
showers upon them and their boats.
The fight was witnessed by another
crew stationed about seven miles above
them. The whale was forty-two feet
long, and extremely fat. The fish will
probably bring about 5000.

So Nice.
Appleton Crescent.

The other evening love-sick couple
entertained quite a party of lady and
gentlemen travellers on the cars, from
this city to New London. They became
so absorb ed in their OSCILLATION as to be
entirely oblivious to all that crowd of
shouting, laughing spectators, for with
arms about each other and faces buried
in each others necks they seem to have
found " bliss, by jingo." One of the
jolly passengers went over to their seat
to witness their joys, and though he
was face to face in front of them, they
merely looked up for an instant, ald
not in the least abashed, continued to
cannibalize each other with the utmost
GOODNESS.

WHY IS TT so?

Some find work where some find rest,
And so the weary world goes on;
/ sometimes wonder which is best;
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some ewes sleep when some ewes wake,
And so the dreary night-hours go.
Some hearts beat where some hearts break
I often wonder why tits so.
Some wills faint where some wills fight
Some love the tent and some the Held
/ often wonder who are right
The ones who strive, or those who yield.
Some hands fold where other hands IS.
Are lifted bravely in the strife;
And so thro' ages and thro' lands
Move on the two extremes OF ilte
Some feet halt where some feet tread
In tiTeless march, thorny way;
Some struggle ON where some have He'd;
Some seek when others Shun the fray.
Some swords rust where others clash,
Some fall back where some move on,
Some flags fsrl where others flash
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigIls of the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their name, above a grave.

Orig IN of surnames-

The study OF mems names Is as curious as
1t lie interesting. Arbitrary as they seem to-
day, they all had their source evidently in
some fitting fact. Many English surnames
express the county, estate, or residence Oh
their original bearers, as Burgoyne, from
Burgundy; Cornell or CORVALLIS, from Corn
wall; Fleming, from Flanders; Gaskin and
Gascoyne from Gascony; Hanway, from
Hainault; Polack, from Poland Welsh
Walsh and Wallis, from Wales; Coombs,
Compton, Clayton. Sutton, Preston and
Washington, from towns in the county OF
Sussex, England. Camden, the antiquary,
says every village in Normandy has sur
named some English family. Dale, Forest,
Hill. Wood, and the like are derived from
the character or situation OF those who tirst
bore the names. The prefix attic at, soft
ened to a or an, has helped 70 form num-
Der of names. Thus, il man lived on
moor, he would cali himself Afternoon or
Atmoor; IL near gate, Attegate or Agate.
John atte the Oaks was In due time short
ened to John Nosks; Peter at the
Seven Oaks into Peter Shocks, By6eld, By
ford .UnderhilI and Underwood indicated
residence originally. In old English apple
garth meant orchard, whence Apologize and
Appleton; chase, forest; Give, cliff;
clough. ravIne; cobb, q harbor, whence
these names. The root of the ubiquitous
Smith Is the Anglo Saxon smitan, TO smlte.
1t was applied primarily TO blacksmiths,
wheelwrights, carpenters, masons and smit'
ers or strikers in general. Baker. Taylor,
Butler, Coleman (coalmen), Draper, Cowper
(cooper), Cutler, Miller and the rest plainly
denote occupations. Latimer is from latiner
a writer of Latin; Lorimer is maker OF
spurs and brldle bits; Arkwright, a maker of
chests: Lander, contracted from layandier, a
wasnerwoman; Banister the keeper OF a
bath Kidder, a huckster; Wait a minstrel;
Croker, potter. Such names as Baxter
and Bagster are the feminine for baker
Webster of webber or weaver, which shows
that these trades were first followed by
women, and that when men began
to take them up they for some
time kept the feminine names. Stew
ard, Stewart or Stuart, Knight, Alb
bot, Lord, Bishop, Prior. Chamberlain.
Falconer, Leggett (legate) either signified
