What's in q Name?

ACCORDING to the paper by Rev.
James freeman Clarke ION Giving
Names to Towns and Streets" now
published in pamphlet form, there is a
great deal in name, and people gen.
orally will be inclined to agree with
him. A name is frequently, in fact
generally, the cornerstone of an inn
preston. The rhyt thin, the association
or the fitness of a name takes hold of
the plastic forces of the mind and gives
them tendency, if it does not positive
ly mold them. The naming of towns
and streets should not be left to chance
CT sudden necessity. If it were posi-
BILE it should be entrusted to select COM
mittees of patriots, poets and perhaps
philosophers. Much as true Americans
love America, there is hardly thought
full one among them who does not rec
ognize the injustice that is done every
time it is spoken. In fact when the
deeper emotions are appealed to in
thoughts of our country, she is frequent
ly spoken of as Columbia. and that she
should have been. As we made false
start in National Nomenclature it is not
strange that great many mistakes
have occurred, as the system or rather
process has been extended. As we oc-
cupied the land that belonged to others,
and justified ourselves by the divine
right of superior intelligence, civiliza-
ton and religion, it would have been no
more than right had we at least given
the retreating savages the benefit OF per-
petuity for their poetic and expressive
names. Give us q place that re-
tains a genuine old Indian name and
the mind and fancy love to lineer about
it and speculate upon its associations.
Sentiment is stimulated, poetic interest
is stirred, and, more than all, a sug-
gestive center of historical investiga-
ton is afforded. Every locality that is
or has been the theater of human &C.
ton and human association must pos
sess q distinct individuality, and we
agree with Mr.. Clarke that it oheapens
and dwarfs this essence to designate it
by numbers or by merely schedule
terms like A, B and G. It would not
be desirable to make use Of aboriginal
terms entirely, even if possible, for
that would carry our nomenclature to
the opposite extreme of that = from
which it now suffers. 1t would betoO
ornate, and In its extended applications
burdensome and Inappropriate. But
where the rich Indian fancy gave a
name, we defy the civilized world to
improve upon it. For the rest, local
or general history invariably gives OPP
portunity in abundance Preserve
memories of the past where it is glori-
Gus or highly creditable. But never
name baby, street or town after a
living man just because he has reputa-
ton and prominence. The idol of to-
day may be his own iconoclast to-mor-
row or the victim of the tickle image
breakers that constitute the public. If
he can die . great man he may be put
away for future use. Boston Post.

HANNIBAL, Mo-, June 30.-What is known as
the Suy Levee, an embankment which protects
the Illinois bottoms for many miles north and
south of Quincy from overflow Of the Missis-
sippi river, broke at O'Clock this morning,
near Cincinnati, landing about
eight miles below here. The break
is about one-half mile wide and the water is
rushing through and backing up with great
rspidity. The rise on the ground from the
place of the break up to the Wabash and Chi
cage, Burlington & Quincy railway juno
ton, opposite this city, is about six inches to
the mile, bat this is not enough to: keep the
water back. A large force of men did all they
could to prevent the break, but their Iabors
were futile, and the loss in the bottoms will
be immense, and many of. the farmers will be
ruined. Wheat, which was cot and shocked
foated off, and the corn crop will be de-
stroyed. Another break near the above-named
junction is feared. TIE river is now about

There is plenty of work for every earnest
Democrat to do between the present time
and November. Even though the candidates
of the party are popular and above reproach,
they cannot succeed except by hard, unre-
uniting and systematic work on the part of
those whose interest it is to see them elected
The Importance of such work cannot be
overestimated, and the duty of undertaking
it at once is imperative upon all who desire
the triumph of good government over misrule
and extravaganza.
By thorough organization of the Demo
cratic voters all over the land much good
can be accomplished. Every township and
school district should be thoroughly canvass
ed. Lists of all voters with Democratic
proclivities shoald be obtained, and those
who are doubtful in their inclinations should
be labored with earnestly in order to bring
them to realizing sense of their duty il

literature should be freely circulated

should be seconded by earnest personal effort

Enlarging and Improving.

Messrs. Archibald &c Sohurmeier, owners
and proprietors of the Capital Touring mills,
of this city, commenced work yesterday to
greatly enlarge and improve the same. In
the first place, the entire inside of the mill
will be changed by taking out the burrs and
turning it into roller mill with all the i'm
proved Hungarian machinery. At the same
time the building will be enlarged by an ad-
dition upon the river side of the mill, thirty
by forty feet, six stories in height. This
will increase the capacity of the mill to three
hundred barrels of patent -four per day. The
improvements will involve an expenditure of
from $4,000 to $25,o0O. The work will be
prosecuted with all dispatch, and they expect
to have the mill in running order by the lst
of September.
