"The Origin OF The Name Artemus
Ward -

There has been not a little specula-
ton as to how Brown came by his nom
de plume, "Artemus Ward" DR.. Shat
took says, that having some confidential
business with him during one of his
last visits to Waterford, he took occa-
sion to inquire in particular about it..
Brown said it was in this wise: While
engaged at the "Plain-Dealer" office, in
Cleveland, Ohio he made the acquaint-
ance of an eccentric old gentleman
whose actual name was Artemus Ward,
though assuming some more preten-
tious titles. This man was in the show
business having few "wax 6ggers,"
birds, "snaix," and kangaroo. While
waiting on the printers for his bills, he
amused Brown by telling an endless
number of anecdotes, all of which were
duly treasured up. Among these were
some of the incidents in Browns article
entitled Edwin Forest as Othello." He
referred to the following as one OF the
contributions of the original Artemus
Ward:

The old man claimed himself to be
the hero of this story. Brown, how
ever, wanted the credit Of correcting
the spelling and of dressing the stories
up in good literary style. Pleased with
the name, he attached it to several OF
his comic productions, and finding that
it took with the public, adopted "A.

Ordering John Adams Below.

One of the most successful of the
commanders of the American navy dur
ing the Revolution was Commodore
Samuel Tucker, of Marblehead. His
biographer, with pardonable pride in
prizes, fought more sea- fights, and
gained more victories than, with few
exceptions, any naval hero of the age"
The simple manners that then pre-
vailed in Marblehead are illustrated by
an anecdote of the way Mr. fuckers
commission as captain was presented
to him. He was chopping wood one
day in his yard, with his. sleeves rolled
up, and tarpaulin hat slouching over
his face. Suddenly an officer rode up
to the gate and halted, looking as if he
had made a mistake.
IL say, fellow" he shouted, to the
woodchopper, II wish you would tell
me if the Hon. Samuel Tucker lives
about here"
Honorable? 'Honorable?," answered
Tucker; "there is not man of that
name in Marblehead. He must be one
of the family of fuckers in Salem. |
am the only Samuel Tucker there is
here"
Something about the young man sug-
gested to the officer that the commits
