GOLDFISH AND CLAM.
A Summer Fable Which Contains Poet
ical Moral.
From the Detroit Free Press,l

A Goldfish was one day sailing around
In search of some one who mig ht be in
cllned to religious dispute, when he
came across Clam. That was in the
days when the Goldfish put on a heap of
airs over the clam tribe, and this partic-
ular fish stuck up his nose at that partlc-
ular clam and began:
"Here you are, grubbing away on this
same old sandbank for a living, while
have journeyed over thousand miles in
the last four WEEKS
II am quite content" replied the
Clam. I am rather near-sightsd, slow on
foot, and nature did not intend me to
travel tar. Neither of US make more than
living and I am satisfied if you are.''
"1es, but you have such an outlandish
shape, ''sneered the Cod. "Why, there's
neither head, nor tail, nor legs, nor arms
to you. Your eyes are hardly to be seen,
and one little grin for cent would split
your whole face open."
"My eyes are plenty large enough to
see that no two fish in the ocean agree, u
tartly replied the Clam, ''and seeing this
have no cause to smile. What you say
about nay form is true, but I make good
chowder for all that, and I have nc
bones to trouble the throats of hu.
mainly. .a-
"Well I'm thankful that wasn't born
to begin and end my days in that sand.

the free lunches. Small fish fear me ,aaG
big ones can't catch me See how l glide
around.''
The Cod took circle around to show
of, stood on his head, fourlshed his tail
and then asked:
"Can any of the Clam family do hall
Of that9"
Gas have said BEFORE" quietly re
piled the Clam, tive were not cut out fol
either orators or acrobats. What cam
do I let alone and don't worry over"
At that moment a fish hook, nicely
ba1ted, dropped down between them.
| "Now, if you had little more mouth
20 u could get enough at one gulp to las
you all day." remarked the Cod as b.
eyed the bait. Gas it is you may stand

PrOper Names.

How to pronounce proper name IS Of
ten matter of difficulty. 1t might be
presumed that the way in which q man
prouounces his own name or the people
Of the place pronounce the name of their
town ought to be our guide. But there
is, in the first place, the difficulty of as
certalning what that is. It is not every
body who knows that the name of Lord
Cowper is pronounced Cooper, that Ma
joribanks Is pronounced Marchbanks,
that Cholmondeley is CHUNKY, that Bel
voir castle Is Beevor, that Bicester is Bis
ter. Everybody, however, acquainted
with the local or personal usage would
conform with it. With ancient or for
eign names the case is different. A dis
cussion is now progressing in contem-
porary as to how Indian names, for in
stance, should be spelled. One party is
in favor of retaining the form which has
obtained European currency. Another
advocates transliteration or conversion of
the native symbols into English equiva-
tents, and would spell Lucknow "Lakh-
nao;' Cawnpore "Kanhpur;" and Poonah
"Puna." And what is now taking place
with respect to Indian proper names
has long since occurred in the case
of classical and early English. Mr..
E. A. Freeman and his philogical friends
would call Edward the Confessor s.Ead-
ward, :, just as Greek purest would
speak Of Hercules as "Heracles," and
Plato as 'Platon." The question to be
decided is this: Ought we to be gov
erned by usage or by the decisions Of abb
stract scholarship. The French do not
wait to discuss the subject. They pro-
nounce every name as they would do If
it were French. Thus, with them, Titus
Livius, whom we name "Livy,' becomes
ssTlte-Live;'' and Goethe, even in an
official document issued by the French
academy, appears as IN. Goethe" We
suppose no hard-and-fast line can be laid
down on the subject. Caprice has had
much to do in the pronunciation Of prop
er names. An educated Englishman

At length the palace gates were opened
aud the royal party appeared, escorting
the Princess Elizabeth to the cathedral,
where her marriage was to be solemnized.
1t was brave pageant; far brighter than
the untwined foliage and blossoms were
the TUFTS of plumes which fioated from
stately heads, and the testal robes which
streamed down over the housings of the
superb steeds. But the Princess, mount
ed on a snow-white palfrey, and clad in
snow-whlte velvet, looked pale and sad !;
and when, on nearing the church she
heard the rush of organ music, which,
although jubilant in sound, struck on her
ear like funeral knell, she trenbled,
and would have fallen to the earth had
not mage supported her. A few MIN
utes afterwards she entered the cathedral.

her glance roved from him to the organ
loft, where she expected to see the mys-
FERROUS organist. He was gone, and she
was obliged 70 return the graceful bow
of the king, to whom she had been be-
trothed from motives of policy. Mechan-
ically she knelt at his side on the altar
stone; mechanically listened to the ser
vice and made the responses. Then her
husband drew her to him in convulsive
embrace, and whispered:

WHY L KISSED YOU.
BY UNCLE Lutte.

Blooming how'rs of seventeen summers
Fragrance yielded just for you;
Eighteen fruitful, golden autlimns
Hinged with wine their radiant hue,
AL to grace for earth an angel.
To make mad the sons of men,
Thus it seemed to my conception, ,
First we met in that fair glen, -
Where the sweet, shy glance you gave me.
With no intrigue on my part,
Drew my bold, strong arms around you,
Pressed you, yielding, to my heart
Heart, said 1? A Tyre of music, Use
With thousand quivering strings,
Like the bursting of rocket
Into fire-illumined rings,
Sang with angels of my mature a. ga
To the mind of mortal man;
Rang with strains empowering reason.
"Drink pure bliss whene'er YOU can"
All! sweet maiden, do you wonder
That kissed you where you lay?
Though our hearts the kiss made captive,
Did we wrong-ah! sweet girl, say3
Yes, kissed you while you rested
In the folds of my embrace,
In that kindly, screening arbor,
With soft bushes on your face;
You, half-angry, yet oe lighted,
For your bushes came and went,
With the leaf-shade's ftful passes,
Meath my fond gaze, so intent,
Ger fair face, and neck, and bosom,
Which your shy art sought to hide,
An! Dy nesting closer TO me
Drunk with bliss you could not chide
Then, more kisses, fairest maiden,
Fell upon your warm, red lips,
While the thrill the sweet theft gave me
Tingled to my finger tips.
Then your melting form pressed closer
Its imprisoned place or rest,
My great heart with sweet pain burning,
Burning 'gainst your swelling breast.
Were forgotten fame and glory,
Thought of future wealth and power.
Love-drunk hearts, like men from drinking,
Know not well the present hour.
And the after-tiMe, when sober,
All the thrills, and throbS, and pain
Yet, like them, some years of being
1would give to quaff again.
Stoppled wine is sweet, fair maiden,
Ii long sealed, It's sweet and rare.
Seal once broken, guileless maiden,
One may quaff to their despair.
Sure It's thus, for still kissed you,
Each kiss prompting more, more, more;
Strange that storm-tossed man should nngeI
Long on such genial shore2
Deeper bushes then swept over,
Like torn Gu tains of the night,
Waited down from snowy mountains,
Through the wales, dispelling light;
And your dazzling eyes, all such eyes
Gods! what bliss one can endure
Vowing to my manhood's honor,
You were mortal, yet were pure.

The Examination before Justice
Cromer and Discharge of the Pris-
oner.
Johnny Brent was yesterday examined
before Judge Cromer for the killing Of
Billy Martin. The testimony called out
was substantially the same as that intro
duced before the Coroner's Jury. A ma
jority of the witnesses maintained that
Martin was the first to draw his weapon.
The witnesses were carefully questioned by
District Attorney Merrill, while Mr.. Hill
house looked out for the interests Of the
defendant.
The examine ton closed at about $3.50
O'Clock last night. Mr.. Hillhouse made a
brief speech for the defense. District At
torney Merrill stated that he had doubts
about securing an Indictment on the testi-
mony, and intimated that it would prob
ably be as we'll for Judge Cromer to order
the discharge Of the prisoner. Judge Gro
mel took the same view of the case, and &C.
cordingly the defendant walked forth a
free man.
A murmur Of applause ran through the
audience on the announcement Of the
Judges decision. which was promptly sup
pressed by the officer of the Court.
Mr.. Brent seems to feel very badly over
the sad affair, although fully realizing that
his own life was placed in jeopardy at the
moment of its occurrence.
The best opinion seems to be that Martin
never fred a shot, although, had his pistol
not snapped, he would have gotten in the
first. A gentleman who examined the
weapon, gives it as his opinion that the
hammer of Martins pistol came down on
one of the empty chambers. Three were
loaded aud three empty. 1t transpires
that the loaded chambers were on the bot
tom side of the cylinder.
