While at Providence, r. l., met Mrs
Mary A. Livermore at the house of a
friend. At table the conversation fell
upon the subject Of politeness. The host
css told of a friend Of hers, a little an

the guest poured out her tea in her sau-
Ger to cool it--a method of refrigeration
which was quite au fait thirty years ago.
The guests looked surprised, and some
were inclined to smile at her simplicity
and Ignorance of high-toned propriety,
but the lady of the house poured some
tea into her saucer and drank it there

and the guest was Immediately put at her

Mrs. Livermore remarked: 81 was once

One Christian Name.

In looking through so many volumes
of county records have, of course, seen
many thousands and tens of thousands
of proper Names belonging to men of all
ranks and degrecs-to noblemen, Justices,
jurymen, witnesses, sureties, inn-keepers,
hawkers, paupers, vagrants, criminals,
and otbers--and in no single instance,
down to the end of the reign of Anne,
have | noticed any person bearing more
than one Christian name. The first in
stance occurs in 17l7, when Sir Cople-
stone Warwick Bampfeld appears among
the Justices who attended the Midsum-
mer Sessions at Exeter. The first in
stances which | have met with in anv
other place are those of Henry Frederick,
Earl Of Arundel, born in 1908, and Sir
Henry Frederick Thyme, who was
created Baronet in 1641. Both these
must have been named after the eldest
son of James |, who was, of course, born
in Scotland. No other child of James
bore two Christian names, nor did any
child of Charles |, except Henrietta
Marsa, named after her mother, who was
Frenchwoman. No King of England
bore two Christian names before William
III, who was a Dutchman. 1t seems
probable that the practice of giving chill.

A Minister's Quick WOOing.


When the Methodist Pr testant Con.
ference assembled in this town in March
last, among the ministers in attendance
was the Rev. S. B. Treadway, a widower
about thirty-six years of age, and man
of marked ability. He was assigned to a
home with Thomas Davis, Esq, our town
bailif On Friday of that week Miss
Nellie Palmer, member of Mr. Davis
family, a sweet young lady of very at
tractive manner and department, who
had been temporarily from home, re,
turned, and met the reverend guest.
Their meeting must have been a case OF
love at first sight, for on the Monday fol.
lowing (three days after) they became
engaged. They were married on Thurs
day last at the Rev. J. ID. Kinzers church
in Baltimore, and left for Cumberland
where the happy bridegroom is now sta.

The Rev. Pullman on Marriage.


The lecturer gave his fair auditors
some advice as to the sort of men they
ought not to marry First, they should
not marry a man whose character did not
command their respect. They might be
sure that if they did not respect him be-
fore the marriage they would never love
him after the union. Above all, they
should never marry man for the sake
of reforming him. They might try to
reform dissipated or sinful man and
then marry him after etIecting perma-
nent cure. Ii they couldn't control him
before marrying him they certainly
couldn't do it afterwards. The theory
that reformed sinner would make bet
ter husband than man who had not
needed reformation was one that had
been upheld by preachers apd lecturers
and writers, but he was not afraid to
brand the theory as a lie-a lie from top
to bottom-from circumference to CEN
ter. The idea that a man, who had
spent half his youth in practices which
destroyed his health and poisoned his
mind, could by sudden change become
a better man than one who had always
led a vlrtuous career was almost too alb.

THE "private business upon which

eral years and tohave been received in the
very best Of society as Mr.. Watterson's
legitimate offspring. In fact, however,
it is founding old enough to be uncle
to that accomplished journalist. The
real author of its being is Sir Walter

parently read with profit and we trust
also pleasure. In that authors introduce
ton to Quentin Durward appears the
following sentence, of which Mr. Waiter
sons oft quoted expression is evidently
paraphrase: "You seldom dine at vel
supplied table but the interval between
the Champagne, the Burgundy and the
Hook are filled, etc" The felicity with
which Mr.. Watterson introduced this
quotation establishes at once the excel
lence of his taste, but it seems unac-
countable that so bold stroke of liter
airy eccentricity-we will call it-shond

Land-Sink Near Tampa, Fla.

They have had big land-sink neal
Tampa, Fla. The Tribune says: "Thurs
day of last week it was discovered that q
sink hole had formed on the telegraph
road between here and Fort Meade, about
ten miles east from here. The road ran
near about through the center Of the sink
which is about forty feetin diameter and
as round as circle A pine tree, fully
seventy feet tall, that stood by the road
went down, and its top is now few. feet
below the surface of the ground. The
sink has filled up to within six or seven
feet of the surface of the surrounding
ground with water, out of which the tree
top stands some three feet.
There seems to have been a sinking
also of the surrounding ground for a dis.
tance of fifty yards all around the mar,
gin of the hole. The water, which has
appeared in the sink, is of deep azure
color and very clear. This is not the
first sink that has occurred in that re.
gion, which is noted for the number OF
its beautiful lakes, within the last few
years, another one having formed few
years ago about a mile from this one.
On account of the light rainfall since last
autumn the lakes in that region are get
ting low, and it is supposed that the
water support to the vault of some sub
terranean passage from the nearest lake,
being no longer present, the earth gave

A Hen Becomes a Rooster.

lNbiSIioifN Npp'j iNiib
Six years ago next July there was
hatched in this section a female chick.
With thu exception of the usual adven-
lures with hawks and owls, this interest
ing fowl reached the age of pullcthood
without creating any unusual excite
ment. She quickly won the hearts of
the lords Of the barnyard, and more than
one pitched battle was fought for her
favor by rival cocks. In time she devel-
oped into steady matronly hen, and
not only proved good source of eggs,
but sat upon and hatched five litters OF
chicks and one of geese, from which feat
she was known in the neghborhood as
the "goslng hen" Last February, how.
ever, a marked change was observed in
the subject of this sketch. First, the
roosters ceased to worship at her shrine.
A change was observed in her general
bearing, she assuming decidedly mascu
line airs-crowing with the voice and
tone of thoroughbred chanticIecr; spurs
commenced to grow from her heels; the
tail feathers heightened and curved; hel
comb grew in length, and now this re,
markabIe fowl has developed into a full
iledged rooster Is is now on exhibition
at BarrGws'.
