Moro Spanish Than skunk.

have read many articles published
in the Chicago papers from various
writers trying to prove that Chicago was
named after a skunk, none of which did
/ place any confidence in, for could at
one time speak the Indian language as
well or better than could the English.
] came West in 1882. I now find the
following on page "a of the pictorial
History Of the American Revolution"
in regard to fernando Dc Soto, in 1540.
It appears that he had Just had a great
battle with the Indians, at Mobile, de-
stroying 1000 of them and losing forty
two Of his own men, and that on the
18th of November, same year, he turned
his face northward, and in five days he
entered the province of Chicazo, where
he remained all winter. Had another
fight with the Indians and lost forty
men more.
Then what does this prove? Improves
that as early ms 1540 there was a prov
ince five days march north of Mobile
called Chicazo, and presume it extend
cd as far north as the northern lakes,
and that the name of our city Chicago
came from it.
The word Chicazo is evidently Span
ish, and when spelled with the English
pronunciation, combined with the In
dian, we have Chicago. De Soto was
evidently as brave and gallant q gentle
man as ever trod American soil. He
was always dreaming of finding gold in
the western wilds of America, and also
the elixir Of life, the Ell Dorado Of per-
petual youth. Gold was long since dis
covered in California, and now, perhaps,
this new late great mineral discovery in
Texas is De Soto's elixir of life. 1t does
appear that Chicago is more Spanish
than skunk.-Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Marrying Stepdaughters.

Adolphus Andrew Hoagland, of Shade
vile, Va, is 20 years old, and has had
three wives. The first was n widow when
no married her, and had little daugh-
ter. When this wife died her daughter
was widowed mother, and Hoagland
within few years married her. There
was some feeling, he says, against his
making his stepdaughter his wife, but
they we're q happy couple, and the pre-
judice died out. Ten years ago the
second wife died. Her daughter was
then Is. Five years elapsed, and then
Hoagland again married his stepdaugh-
ter, who was also his stepgrandaughter.
She is still living, and her husbands age,
aside from the fact that she had no daugh-
ter when she became his wife, precludes
the idea Of his peculiar system being
carried any further. He has children Of
his own by each of the three wives, and
the complications of their relationships
are most endless. Hoagland declares
that his matrimonial experience, cover
ing about fifty years, has been exception
ally happy. The last two wives inherit
cd the good qualities of their mothers,
and all were SO much alike that they
have seemed TO him the same woman,
with her youth occasionally renewed.

Senator Malone.

Every newspaper reader has heard OF
Malone, of Virginia. He is the leader
of the Readjusters and the biggest man
in the State.
While Malone is big man in infu-
ence, me is n small man in stature, small
err even than Alexapder H. Stephens,
and weighs less than 100 pounds. He
has the frame of a woman, but the will
of a giant, or, at least, such as a giant
ought to have in proportion to his size.
In his movements he is quick and nerv-
GUS. He is about five feet three inches
high, has a large, finely-shaped head,
iron-gray hair and beard, gray eyes, and
heavy eyebrows, dresses plainly, and is
about 50 years old.
Malone is q self-made man. He was
born in Virginia, and for that reason ex-
erts an influence that one occupying his
position, but born outside of the State,
never could. His education was largely
obtained at the Virginia Military Insti-
tute, q scholarship in which he won in
a competitive examination. He started
in the business of life as u chain-carrier
in a railroad engineer corps. From
that humble position he gradually rose
to the Presidency of railroad company,
and ut one time controlled a system of
railroads from Norfolk TO the Missis-
s,ppi. He was General in the Con-
fedcrate army, and Gen. Robert Il. Lee
is reported to have said that 81 would
rather have him, his judgment, sagacity,
and executive ability, than any General
/ have. III L should retire from the
command of the army, 1 should recon-
mend Malone for my place" Malone
was the author and executor of the
plan to blow up Grants Notifications
around Petersburg, of which city he is
now n resident. CoDlDler-

I should turn missionary

calculating to tell you that I was a
missionary about to sail for India, and
ask you for small donation. You
wouldn't have given me cent, would

"No, SIR"

"No, sir. I can't see how it affects
me any,"
"Very we'll. It does me good to find
frank, honest man, and, on the whole,
I'm not disappointed. If you had lent

Remedy for Diphtheria.

N. Shishkin, Minister Of Russia to the
United States, sends the following to the
New York Herald:
"There is no harm at this time of year
in reproducing the remedy for diphthe
ria used in Russia, from the Russian
Minister
Gin view OF the increase of diphtheria
in several places of the State of New
York, I hasten to communicate to you
for publicity a very simple remedy,
which, having been used in Germany
and Russia, may prove effective here.
Out of several others, DIR. Letzerich,
who made extensive experiments In the
application of this remedy, has used it
in twenty seven cases, eight OF which
were of very serious nature, all of which
had a favorable result except in one
case, when the child died from COM
plication of diseases. For children of
l year he prescribes the remedy, for
internal use every one or two hours, as
follows: Natr. benzoic, pur. so solv.
in aq. distillat 30. menth. piper, ana
400 syr. cort. aur. 100. For children
from l to years old he prescribed it
from to s grammes for 100 grammes of
distilled water, with same sirup; for
children of 3 to years he prescribed
10 to Is grammes, and for grown per-
sons from 15 to 25 grammes for each 100
grammes. Beside this he uses also
with great success the Insulation on
the diphtherial membrane through a
glass tube in serious cases every three
hours, in light cases three times day Of
the natr. benzoic pulver. For grown
people he prescribes for gargling dilu-
ton of 10 grammes of this pulver for 200
grammes of water. The effect of the
remedy is rapid. After twenty-four or
thirty-six hours the feverish symptoms
disappear completely and the tempera-
ture and pulse become normal. This
remedy was also used with the same
success by DIR. Braham Braun and Prof.
Klebs, in Prag DR.. Senator, in Cassel,
and several others in Russia and Ger
many."

ish into the Christian church about 800
A. ID.
The drink known rs "punch" was
introduced into Europe from the East
Indies by Anglo-Indians at some date
between 1746 and 1760. 1t is so named
from the Hindoo word pdntsch Persian,
panO, because it consists of five in
gredieRts, which, when irst made, were
arrack, tea, water, sugar and lemon
juice. The famous Vauxhall punch was
an admixture of arrack, brandy, sugar,

people Of Alsace and Lorraine were for
merly under German rule, as they now
are but while q part Of France they
lost in q great measure the use Of the
German language, and what they re-
tained became corrupt. 1t was an old
custom among them for young couples
TO engage themselves by eating the
halves Of double almonds, and then to
salute each other as "well beloved"
each time they met. The word in Ger
man was vieliiebchen, but, having for
gotten the meaning of this word, they
gradually changed into "phillipo,"
which sounds like it, and "phillippina.
The first meteoric shower which at
tracted attention in modern times was
that witnessed by the Moravian mission
aries in Greenland, in 1899. This phe-
nomenon was observed over wide ex-
tent of territory. Humboldt, then travel
ing in South America, said Toward
the morning of November 13, most ex-
traordinary scene of shooting stars was
seen. Thousands of bodies and falling
stars succeeded each other during four
hours. Their direction was very regular
from north 10 south; from the begin
ming of the shower there was not space
in the armament equal in extent to three
diameters of the moon which was not
filed every instant with bodies of falling
stars. All the meteors left luminous
traces or phosphoressent bands behind
them, which lasted seven or eight Sec
onds."

use, it traces mechanically on paper the
outlines of the ground over which it
travels. It is a small carriage mounted
on two wheels, drawn by one man and
attended by another, who marks the

meath hangs an iron rod with a large
ball at its lower end, serving as PEN
dulum. This pendulum maintains a
constant vertical position, while the ma
chine inclines in one direction or the

scends a slope. To the upper end OF
the rod is fitted pencil, which marks

Retrayed by the Truth.

The very amiable and worthy occu-
pant of the position of British Vice
Consul at port in the far East had
often expressed to his American fellow
residents his great desire to visit their
country and make himself familiar with
some of its institutions. His ideas of the
West had been formed from q perusal of
the works of Cooper, and it is to be
feared that his interlocutors had pur-
posely abstained from disturbing his
somewhat highly-colored expectations.
Finally a furlough came to him, and he
made ready to carry out his cherished
plan of a trip home by the way OF the
Pacific ocean and the United States. In
Productions were given him to trrlsty
practical jokers in San Francisco, which
he presented on arrival, with expressions
of vehement desire to encounter Indians
and hunt buffaloes. This, he was told,
would be easy, as both abounded i'll the
neighborhood of the Cliff House, and in
the peaceful and prosaic suburb OF Oak
land. An expedition was planned and
carried out, and the British brother,
armed to the teeth, performed great
deeds in the encounter with "practica-
BILE :" Indians and uffaloes-furnished
it was whispered, by theater and cir
Gus or menagerie. Exulting In the
cred with glory, he departed for New
York and England. His fame stood him
in gotd stead at dinners and other So
cial gatherings during his entire vaca-
ton, preceded him on his return to his
post, and made him quite hero among
his felIow-exiles. No American could
find it in his heart to disturb it, and
all might have gone well to this day had
he only confined himself to his character
of amateur Leatherstocking. One day,
however, countryman of his came to a
yankee and denounced this hero.
"Just think of that M" said he,
"trying to sell us. By Jove! I never
heard in all my life, you know, such
atrocious stories as he has been telling
MS. What do you think he tried to
make us believe? It is all very fine to
have shot Indians and buf1aloes. OF
course, you know, where there are so
many as there are in San Francisco, and
New Hampshire, and niagara, and all
those places, q plucky fellow might do
that. But he has tried to make us be-
lieve the most extraordinary story that
you have ever heard about your coun-
try, you know. He says that he went
to place called Chicago, and he went
to draw some money from bank, and
found that they had raised it up and
were moving it, with all the fellows in
side, you know, going on with their
work I say, just fancy the cheek OF
the fellow supposing he could make us
believe thati" Alas the one true story
which the poor Consul told had proved
his undoing. -Harper's Magazine.
