of Jackass might sound we'll when
joined to an agricultural ode, but
subscribed to a tender love epis-
tie, neveri and we think the
taste of Herr Courage, late Jackass, will
be generally commended in petitioning
the local Government of the Province
where he resides for the change. A Lon
don newspaper in commenting recently
on the curious names that are met with
in Germany, says that it has encoun-
tered there such names as Mr.. Blood
sausage, Mrs. Gray-horse-parny, and Mr..
Sugar-tart, and that one of the oldest
families of North Germany is known by
the very expressive name of Gate-keeper
of He'll; and further, that a late be-
trothal took place between two dis
tinguished families bearing the eupho-
NOUS names of Sour-herring and Two
year-old-wild-boar, the publication Of
which auspicious event appeared recent
ly in the National Zeitung and other
Berlin journals. In this city we see such
names as Mr.. Beef-head, Mr.. Sugarman,
Mr.. Sour, Mr.. Cabbage-water, etc., as
we'll as other singular patronymics, with
out surprise because disguised by their
native Teuton sounds and alphabet; but
it really is singular to translate
the names one sees on the German signs
met with in the city, and to note how
much greater number of odd appella-
tives are met with in German than in
English family names. We have inplain
Anglo-Saxon our Greens, and Browns,
and Blacks, and Whites, but no Yellows,
nor Pinks, nor Puppies. We have our
Lead-betters (or beaters), our Goldsmiths
and Weavers, our Shoemakers and
Thrashers, and Butterworths and Tay-
lors; we have our Woods, and Stones,
and Marbles, and Masons, but no Bricks,
nor Boards, nor Lumbers, nor Irons, al
though plenty of Steeles, and Carpenters,
and Clays.
After all the names of people is curl
GUS study, and it is perhaps hard to tell
what nation has the most select and ex-
traordinary assortment. We began by
the belief that the Germans were ahead
of us, but are not, now we think of it, by
any means sure they are entitled to the
diploma for incongruity or singularity in
this respect. What is the signifcation
OF your name, or yours, or yours, sir?

Killed bY Il Dead Snake.

will tell you very curious and
melancholy incident that happened ON
one occasion in church where / was
conducting the service. The windows
and doors were, of course, all wide open,
and through one of those open doors a
cobra glided into the church. I did not
notice it myself, but several of the con-
gregation did, and were not unreason-
ably much alarmed. The beadle, ma
tive, was fortunately on the alert; and
he managed to procure a tulwar, with
which he cut off the creatures head be-
fore it had time to do any mischief.
Tranquility was restored, and the SER
vice proceeded to its close, when many
of the congregation went to look at the
dead snake as it lay headless on the
ground. Among them was man who,
in his curiosity to examine the reptile,
put his foot on the head and rolled it
toward him; when he instantly uttered
loud exclamation and drew his foot
away. By some means or other he had
contrived to set in action the muscular
apparatus attached to the poison. fangs,
which had darted violently forward and
struck him on the foot. All remedies
were useless; in half an hour the poor
fellow was corpse; proving, with a
vengeance, the awful virulence of the
poison of the cobra da capello Cham

OF the European nations Germany
stands first as to fighting trim. She
can put in the field at twenty-four
hours notice 100000 men of the line,
the reserve and the Landwehr The
grand total of the German army is
2,20C 900 men, exclusive of 100000 not
reckoned on the field strength, but de-
Quoted as garrisons. The strength Of
the second Landwehr and the Land
sturm is generally exaggerated, but
they are thoroughly efficient soldiers,
the best in the army. France has a
nominal strength of 3,500,000 men, but
practically it must be decreased to
100000, and even of this total very
large proportion is still in process of
organization. 1t is not believed that
France could place in the first line more
than 100000 men.
The true northerner., 1879-10-17

THE railroad rule that the through
rate over the longest distance shall
be always less than a way rate
over a shorter distance has its fullest
play at San Francisco, a place at the
end of the longest single line in the
country. To send a pound of tea from
Yokohama to San Francisco costs 2
cents, to carry it on to Salt Lake City
5 cents, if it goes 1000 miles farther to
Chicago the rate is 3 cents from Yoko-
hama, and if the tea goes clear through
to New York or Boston the rate from
its starting point is but 2! cents. The
same thing holds good on west-bound
freight. The rate from New York to
San Francisco is so much cheaper than
from Chicago that on some articles it
pays to ship them east to New York
and then west on the through rate. The
rate from New York to the Pacific
coast, 5000 miles, is 10 per cent. less
than the rate from Ogden over the last
1000 miles of the same road. A con-
signment of spirits from Louisville,
KY, to Arizona recently passed through
San Francisco, paying less freight for
the whole distance than the amount
charged on way freights from San
Francisco to Arizona. The same thing
is true in regard to number of points
in California, and the fact that San
Francisco merchants found their own
field commanded by Eastern merchants
shipping at through rates explains the
strong feeling all over California against
the Central Pacific railroad.
