WASHINGTON.
A letter written for the Boston Advertiser,
in July 1879, by Rev. B. F. DeCosta, whose
opportunities for research entitle him to
speak with authority on the vexed question
as to whether Mount Desert should have the
accent on the first or last syllable, says: In
reality the word Desert has no connection
with the French word signifying merit, nor
with what is taken at the end of a dinner.
Again and again Champlain says, in both
editions of his work that he named it ''The Is
land of the Desert Mountains" In one place
he saws. the isles of the Desert Mountains,
supposing that Somes' Sound divided the
island into two parts. The French stands
'riSie de les Monts Deserts" There is no
reference here to "De Monts'" Champlain 8
Chief, as one of the Prince Society's publ
cations teaches; and if we use the French
in connection with the island it will be neces-
sary to say Kong Desair, while a sound
sense. when employing English, will lead to
the proper and natural Mount Desert, put
ting the accent on the first syllable, as the
case requires.

8 o'clock. Jupiter rises in the east as Venus
descends in the west. the former being near
the zenith when Venus sinks beneath tho

growing nearer to one another, and on the

first place, she doesn't attack it boldly

fingers. Then, she never has sharp

he California lady has tried that with
this result: "If Adam, the husband ;or
Adonis, the brother or even Johnny,
the son, lends knife for the purpose,
he first opens the dullest, brokenest
blade, and then sneers at the result.
If Eve has knife of her own, nobody
will sharpen it for her." and it goes
