English Names.
How to Pronounce Some of the Most Diff
cult Ones.

A recent London book entitled "The Man
ners and Tone of Good Society,"" gives instruc-
tions in regard to the proper pronunciation Of
English proper names of the upper classes
These territorial or family cognomens are in
some sort the shibboleth of the English aris-
tocracy, and he who trips in using them would
naturally be set down as an interloper, born or
bred without the pale of veritable society
Among the names whose spelling gives no
clue to their pronunciation some are familiar
enough through their use as hack illustrations.
Such are Cholmon1eley, pronounced Chum-
ley; Maioribanks, pronounced Marshbanks;
Cockburn, pronounced Coburn, and Cowper,
pronounced Cooper. Again, Mainwaring is
Mannering, Mcleod is McCloud. In Elgin
and elliott the is hard; in Clifford and Nigel
it is soft; in Johnstone the should not be
sounded. In Molyneux the is sounded with
very slight accent on the last syllable, and
the name is pronounced Molynoox. In Vaux
the is also sounded, but is mute in Des Vaux
and likewise in Devereaux. In Ker, Berkeley
and Derbey the has the sound of in far
In Waldegrave the second syllable de- should
be dropped, and so should the tn in Blyth. Dill
wyn is pronounced Dillun, and Lyveden Live
Qen. IN COnyngnam, MonSOn, Monkton and
Ponsonby, the o takes the sound of u, and
Blount should be pronounced as Blunt, the o
being mute. Buchan should be pronounced
Buckhan, and Beauclerk or Beauclere as Bo-
clare, the accent being ON the first syllable. In
Hertford the is elided and the 9 has the
sound of a in far Wemyses should be pro-
nounced Weems, and D'Eresby-D'Ersby In
Montgomerie the is elided, and the two oo's
have the sound of u, the accent being ON the
second syllable. Strachan should be pro-
nounced Strawn; Colquehoun is Kohoon, the
accent being on the last syllable; Beauchamp
is Beacham, and Coutts is Koots Another
formidable name to the uninitiated is Du-
chesne, which should be pronounced Dukarn;
Bethune should be Beeton, and in Abergaven-
ny, the ay is not sounded. Menzies is pro-
nounced Mynges; Knollys as Knowls; Sandys
as Sands; Cover as Corr, and Mines as Mills.
Finally Dalziel should be pronounced Dee-al,
with the accent on the first syllable; Chartress
is Charters; Glamis is Charms; Geohegan
should be pronounced Gaygan, and Ruthven
is Riven. We may add that the accent is fire.
quently misplaced In pronouncing British
proper names, and few of the words liable to
mistake may be here noted. In Tadema and
Millais the accent is on the first syllable; in
Clanricarde and Breadalbane on the second
while in Burnett, Burdett, Kennaird, Parneli
and Tremayne the last syllable is accented. AS
rule, in name of two syllables the accent
should be placed upon the first, and the Sec
ond should be slightly slurred.

Defending the Steal.

The Democrats of Portland have justified
the worst things said of their party by its
bitterest opponents. Called upon to choose,
they have preferred Charles Chase to Bion
Bradbury. They have put themselves on
record as defending the attempts to count
out an honestly elected Legislature and to
defeat by most dishonest means the popular
will as expressed by the largest vote ever
cast at the polls. Their action is not sur
prise. When they entered into the corrupt
coalition with the Greenbackers last year
they entangled themselves in net from
which they find it impossible to escape.
Those sagacious Democrats who foresaw
the evils from the unholy alliance aud re-
fused to take part in it have now reason to
congratulate themselves ON the wise course
they pursued. Recruits are coming to them
this year. If they had cause to protest in
the last canvass they have more cause now
Then the Democratic party in Maine
abandoned the doctrine of hard-money,
one of its two cardinal principles,
in order to got control of State govern
ment. Now the Democratic party in the
country has abandoned the State Rights
doctrine in order to get control of the ma
tional government. No wonder that starnch
old Democrats whose lives have been devoted
to these principles so lightly cast aside by
their party organization think it time to step
cut of the ranks, and cast their lot else
where. They are tired of making useless
L.
profound distrust of the leaders they have
followed so long. And they will be found
this year working with might and main
against fusion and its unscrupulous sup
porters.

The Same Old Game.

The other afternoon the tools, implements,
fixtures, appurtenances and whatever else be-
longs to the game of croquet, were put in posi-
ton on a lawn up Woodward avenue, and as
young lady and young man, who seemed to be
her lover, took up the mallets to start the balls
bony looking old tramp halted and got his
mouth puckered up for something good. The
young man took the first shot and before the
ball had ceased rolling, the girls voice was
heard calling:
"You didn't klock fair-ycu've got to try it
overl"
Before>sither of them were half way down
she had occasion to remind him that he wasn't
playing with a blind person, and that she
could overlook no cheating. AS she went un-
der the last arch he felt compelled to remark
that her playing would rule her out of any
club he ever heard Of On the way back she
asked him why he couldn't be an honest man
as well as jockey and falsifer, and he in
quired why she didn't write a set of rules to
tally with her style of playing.
'It's coming-'t amt five minutes OFF,
chuckled the tramp as he took q new grip on
the fence and shaded his eyes with his hat
'Don't you knock that ball away!" shouted
the girl, a minute after.

"Don't you dare top

CHICAGO Tribune: The Grant men who
come home from Springfield with their col
ors flying and their drums beating are some
what premature in their demonstrations
The fight in this State has only just begnn.
They have taken snap Judgment. They
will be beaten on the execution. The pr-
maries throughout the State have shown
that majority of Illinois Republicans are
opposed to a third-term issue. This major
ity has been notably increased within the
past three days by the tactics which s'Boss''
Logan has employed to choke it off This
majority will not supinely submit to the at
tempted swindle, nor will the National Con-
vention either approve or condone it. The
bogus Grant delegates from Illinois must
stand aside until the National Convention
shall determine the equities of the case.

strengthen each other in this glorious work. and the
upholding of our principles "Non-political, nom
sectarian and non-prosecuting,'' "Charity for all
and malice towards none.''

state convention has no right to dictate as to
how they shall vote. This idea of states in
structing delegates to vote as a unit is the old
confederate one, and is based on the theory
that state is supreme. The district delegate
Is In immediate relation TO the people, and as
state convention has no right to abridge that
representative power, for the reason that he is
not creature of the convention, district del
egate is in the immediate line of the people,
the same as citizen is in immediate connec-
tion with the nation, and holds that connection
above any state authority or license. A citi-
zen in giving his allegiance to the government
is untrammeled by state interference, and so a
delegate as representative direct from the
people should be allowed to vote as his people
request, and not as the state convention de-
mands. This state unit instruction business is
introduced as one of the confederate ideas into
Union convention, and the question is, shall
the confederate idea usurp Union one and
control its convention? 1t is Tammany hall
method of controlling party for personal or
sinister motives, and if it is introduced at
Chicago it will be the first time that the Tam
many rule has captured Republican conven-
tlon. Gen. Garfield thinks that the conflict of
the convention will be over this rule and that
1t will be broken down, as all who are opposed
to this misrepresentation rule will unite to
effect its destruction.
