them to send their children to school, saying
that it makes her glad to see her subjects wise

Mr.. Ko-Hua-Kun-Hua, the new Chinese

at Cambridge with his wife and six children.
He is engaged to teach Mandarin Chinese at

commercial purposes to those young men In

The correspondent at Rome of the New York
Evening Post writes: Now that the dream Of
centuries has become reality and the Italians
enjoy civil and religious liberty, they never
omit an opportunity of expressing gratitude
to the courageous family which was the means
of their obtaining it. Queen Margaret seems
to enjoy the homage which is paid to her high
station and her beauty. She is universally re-
spected and admired as graceful, amia6le
and well-educated woman. Some say, III she
were not the Queen she would not be thought
so beautiful or so good" but, even making due
allowance for exaggeration, she is q very pretty
and charming young woman. She is % years
old, rather tall than otherwise, with a graceful
figure, fair peach blossom complexion, and
an aquiline nose that if she were not the Queen
might be considered defect.
Little Bird, daughter of a Sioux chief, was
pretty enough to have white lovers. John
Provost one of these suitors, stole horse to

that the horse belonged to Clement Bernard,
who also desired to marry Little Bird He
tracked the thief to the duslSy maiden's wig
wan and by telling what his rival had done
won her preference. Provost Immediately
proved the sincerity of his love by committing
suicide. Not long afterwards Bernard was
found dead with bullet in his head, and it is
believed that he was shot by Proyost's brother
Mr.. Matthew Arnold says; II remember
how in my youth, after tir-t sight of the

''And Nicanor Lay Dead in His
Harness =

But that fighter wasn't any more dead and
ready for burial than was the late fusion con-
Germ when the polls closed ON Monday night.
The party that allied itself with fallacy in
finance, with theories implying that the gov
ernment cannot protect itself against violence
and revolution, and with SUI porters of the
dangerous heresy of the EXTREMIST State rights,
deserved to die. The fusionists true to the
purpose of attaching to themselves anything and
everything which might afford the hope of q
few votes, was mere party of patchwork,
made up largely of fiat lunatics, communists,
s. cent silver dollar men, disappointed office
seekers and Of every form and shade of NOR
bid discontent-men who seek to place upon
government the blame for which shiftessness
and sloth is mainly responsible. This array,
led and directed by few men whose brains
sought to make of it an instrument Tor thelr
elevation, had the hardihood to appea! to the
people for support The result is Just what
might have been expected. The fuslonlsts of
Maine set their fortunes on the hazard OF the
battle, and went down, exhausted helpless
and hopeless.
We have often heretofore called the atten-
ton of Democrats to the war that they are per-
haps unthinkingly aiding to wage against
their own interests and the interests of the
country. There are, as we have said before,
many true and well-meaning men who would
never lend themselves to such purposes, could
the matter be made plain to them This class
ought to draw a lesson from the lesson of last
Monday. The case went to the jury of the
country, and the verdict is against fusion.
The Republicans of Maine, under the lead of
Mr.. Blaine, have not only been true to them
selves and to principle, but have done great
service to the country. They have stood like n
bulwark against the assaults of the motley
hosts, and hurled them back. The country
will thank them for the great service
There is not much TO be feared from Crreel-
back fusion, or any new combination OF its
elements. The victory of Monday knocked it
on the head, and business prosperity VIII be
daily heaping earth on its remains

The Derivation of Some Familiar
Terms,

Tramway seems to be very awkward word
for street or horse railroad; but the British so
like what we consider awkward names that it
would be unkind in us to interfere with their
monopoly of them. 1t is generally thought to
be an abbreviation of outramway, from Benja-
min Outram, who, in 1900, used some sleepers
at Little Eton, Derbyshire, instead of timbers,
to support the ends of rails at their iuncture.
1t is also said that he first employed such roads
for carving coal at Newcastle. The greater
probability is that tramway is only another
name for tramroad, "tram" being small wag-
on used in some parts of England, especl-
ally in Northumberland This explanation is
much simpler and less grotesque than many OF
the explanations given to account for British
names. The probable facts are not half so
queer or fantastic as the popular notions. Rot
ten Row, for example, is not corruption, as
commonly believed, of Rdute en- Roi. Camden
the antiquary, gets the adjective from rotterdu,
to muster-meaning Muster Row; hence rot"
a file of six soldiers. Another deduction is the
Norman ''ratten row, roundabout way; be-
ing the way corpses were carried to avoid the
public thoroughfare. Piccadilly is so called
from Piccadilla Hail. the principal depot OF
certain kind of lace much worn during the
reign of Elizabeth. The lace was styled Picca-
dilly, from its small spear points-a dimlnutive
of ''pica," pike or spear. In James rs time
the high ruff was termed piccadllly, although
deprived Oh llS lace euSIilS. nhdiyiCpOhO 10 ioe
a vitiation of Marie Ia Bonne, as generally
thought, but of Mary on the Bourne, or river;
nor is Holborn a vitiaton of Old Bourne. as
Stow declares, but of Holeburne, the burRe or
stream in the hole or hollow. 1t is so spelled
in ''Doomsday Book" and in ancient doeu-
ments Pimlico receives its name, according
to tradition, from Ben Pimlico, famous for nut
brown ale. His tea-gardens were near Hox-
ton and the road to them was called Pimlico
path. Greenwich is the Saxon GreenG-,ctc,
green village, formerly named Grendlcic, and
in old Latin authors Gren0Uianl Viridis. Some
think it compound of gJian-cic, the dun city.
Kensington is POLITICALLY named after Kenna,
daughter of King Oberon, with whom Albion,
son of Albion's royal blood, fell in love, after
having been stolen by fairy, Milkah. Kenna
vowed that Albion alone would she we'd Her
father heard this VOW, and Immediately drove
the young prince out Of the garden he occu-
pied, and married his daughter to gentleman
of the the fairy order. Azuriel was the rival OF
Albion who, having lost his sweetheart, prayed
to Neptune for revenge The result was gen.
eral war, i'll which Azuriel slew Albion, who,
being immortal, declined to die. Old Neptune
in his wrath drove all the fairies from the
banks of the Thames, except Kenna, who
tried to revive her lover with magic herb,
which converted him into snowdrop. When
Wise laid out the grounds for the Prince of
Orange, Kenna planned it, the story says, Ill
dream, and gave her name to the town and
garden.-N. Y. Times.

The Bribery Charge.

The Ne,c Era calls for legislation to pro-
tect voters from corruptionists. If the Ne,1
Era will examine the Revised Statutes it
will find plenty of legislation of the kind it
calls for. If any legislation is needed it is
not for the punishment of men guilty of bri-
berry, for there is plenty of that already, but
rather to compel such papers as the Neac Era
and other fusion organs in this State to sub
stantiate or withdraw the charges they are
making against half the citizens of Maine.
There hasn't been day since election but
some fusion paper has asserted that the Re-
publican victory was largely due to the open
and shameless bribery ofvoters. Now we ven
ture to assert that the Neac Era, which is
The last paper to repeat this assertion, cannot
prove that one single person throughout the
length and breadth of the State was offered
money for his vote. Yet that paper probably
for weeks to come will continue to allege
that the Republicans secured several thous-
and votes by bribery. If we are wrong and
the Ney Era has evidence that any voter
was bribed its duty is plain. That duty is
something more than to mention the fact
even with feelings of deepest humiliation
and shame.'' 1t should first publish the
names of the guilty parties and then see that
they are presented to the Grand Jury for
Indictment. Unless the New Era is pre-
pared to do this it should withdraw its accu-
sation and confess that it has been guilty OF
making false and scandalous charges against
half the citizens of Maine.

Compound,
The Great Remedy for
Female Complaints.

In all diseases of the Kidneys the scientific ply
sician, with the aid of the microscope and the va
rious methods OF determining the chemical constitu
ents to the urine. may be enabled to give an accu-
rate diagnosis, and important dietetical and hy-
gienic suggestions In serious cases it may be
sary to have all the aid that may be derived from
careful professional examinations microscopic in-
spection aud scientific analysis of the water; but it
often happens that the doctors prescriptions fail TO
reach the case. And yet most important of all the
desderata in such cases are a safe and
Reliable Remedy.
Our science is maniestly at fault if it fails to make
this one Indispensable discovery. The diagnosis,
however learned, is not remedial agent-it never
cures With the patient the remedy is the main
thing-it is everything while the mere technology
of the doctors has practical value in the estma
ton of the sick man. In this class of diseases
LYDIA E. PINKHAMS VEGETABLE COM
POUND has accomplished wonders. 1t dissolves
calcu corrects the chemistry of the urine, restores
the normal functions of the Kidneys and prevents
the organic degeneration which leads to
Brights Disease.
When pain becomes constant companion; when
there is no repose for the sufferer either day or
night when life itself seems to be a calamity, and
the poor wretch waits for death as for an
Angel of Mercy,
then it is that the minister who brings surcease OF
pain is indeed saviour. We lose our respect for
university honors, proud titles and gilded reputa-
tions, when they bring us no panacea for the ills
which Danish rest and sleep, and threaten our very
existence. Then may be forced to respect as
Deliyerer even an
