From the New York Sun.
Horsemcn are talking about Mr..
Myron p. Bush experiment with the
trotfer Midnight that won the $1,000
pnrse at Buffalo. The race was for
the 2:1b class mile heats, best three
IN five, ID harness. iSe-So won the
first heat in 2:s01, but was distanced
on the second, Midnight winning that
heat easily IN 2:l9- Before the start
for the third heat Midnight was a
strong favorite over the field. At
the word he went to the front wildly
and be kept breaking throughout the
heat Charley Ford won in . jog
trot in 2:Ig5. This unexpected re-
suit demoralixed the Midnight party,
who, thinking Midnight out OF the
race, hurried to the pool box to hedge
their bets. MIR. Bush, MIR. John
Shaw, of California, and MIR. George
b. Alley, of New York, saw that
something was wrong with the horse
and had his shoes removed.
'sNo harm in that, gentlemen,
said MIR. Bush. "That will help the
herse, no doubt. But in my opinion
he is weak or tired from the effects
of tearing mis- boots.of and from cut
ting or humping his ankles. ] pro
pose that we give him quart OF
coffee II will stimulate and strength
en- him.
The others laughed Mt the propo.
sition at first, but Mr.. Bush insisted,
and the coffee was administered.
Mr.. Shaw asked Orrin Hickok to
drive Midnight but he refused, say
Ing: Edwards knows the horse,
and he 10 the man to drive" To the
surprise Or the skeptics, Midnight
recovered, went of wei, and won the
heat easily in 2:20.
MFR. Bush then had pint more OF
coffee given to Midnight to keep him
in trim for the last heat From the
word "gor Midnight drew away to
the lead, coming home fast and
strong, and won the heat and race
handsomely in 2..2l.
The turfmen present were aston
ished at the effect attributed to the
doses of coffee. Heretofore spirits
or wine have been employed in such
cases, but of using coffee they had
never heard. Owners of fast trot-
tiers in New York-Mr. Vanderbilt,
Mfr. Alley, Mr.. S. +. Dewey, MIR. Ed
win Thorne and Mr.. Shepherd +
Knapp among them--say that they
will enter their horses in the temper
ance society, and stimulate them
hereafter with coffee instead Of liquor

Character is much more than wealth
or knowledge, fame or power, that it
ii the measure of the man. When
man is placed in q prominent position
of any sort whatever, we say at
once, "what is he WORTH" not "what
does he know 2" but "wliat sort of o
man is he p That is the momentous
question that involves all. All others
are secondary. Wealth, knowledge,
fame and power, are most desirable
accessions of o good man; but other
wise they add strength in wrong
direction. We wonder if the young
men and boys in our land realize that
character is the most important cap
ital in any and all business transac-
tons. Ii o man of large business
is looking for partner or employe,
what does he require FIRST and most
of all? An honest man or boy.
Wealth and position with the first
requisite, will be no detraction, but
nothing without it. What pillars

tion is, and the corner-stones thereof

woman, boy or girl. The wise man
said: "A good name is rather to bt
chosen than riches,r and he had M
lack Of wealth. Remember boys
and it will harm none to remember
that what you are 10 of infinite i'm

WisDoM AND SoaRow.--It is only
after we have rubbed up against the
world, and have absorbed some of its
poisonous wisdom, that we find it
necessary 10 analyze character. In our
youth aud innocence we can only gen
eraiise, and feel blind impulse leading
us from some, aud pushing us on, to
Others. in youth we cannot reason so
sophistically as we do afterward. In
youth we have not 80 far left Gods
truth behind us, nor have we fallen so
deeply into mans error.--Years bring
wisdom, men Say, but thorc comes .

How Frederick Douglass Got His
Name

Once initiated into my new life Of freedom.
and assured by Mr.. Johnson that need not fear
recapture in that city, comparatively unim-
pOrtant question arose as to the name BY which
1 should be known thereafter in my new rela-
ton as free man. The name given me by nv
dear mother was no less pretentiOus and long
than Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey. 1
had, however. while living in Maryland, dis
pensed with the Augustus Washington and re-
tanned only Frederick Bailey. Between Balti-
more and New Bedford, the better to conceal
myself from the slave-hunters, had parted
with Bailey and called myself Johnson:
but in New Bedford I found that the
johnson family was already SO numerous
as to cause some confusion in dis
tinguishing them, hence a change in this name
seemed desirable. Nathan johnson, mine host,
placed great emphasis upon this necessity, and
wished me to allow him to select name for
me. consented and he called me by my pres
ent name-the one by which have been known
Tor three and forty years-Frederick Douglass
MI johnson had just been reading 1.-THE Lady
OF the Lake." and so pleased was he with its
great character that he wished me to bear his
name. Since reading that charming poem my
self have often thought that considering the
noble hospitality and manly character of Nathan
JOhnson-black man though he was-he, far
more than /. illustrated the virtues of the
Douglas OF Scotland. Sure am I that II any
ve-catcher had entered his domicile with
view to my recapture johnson would have
shown himself like him Of the ''stalwart hand

The Significance Of a Well-knOWH
Family Name.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
In late article In your paper on the derivation
OF proper Names IT is stated that Jones ia derived
from the Hebrew and signifies gracious. This Is
an error. The word is from the original WEIGH,
which is the oldest language In INSTRUMENTATION
and Eve spoke WEIGH In the garden Of Eden)-and
signifies priest or the priesthood. The word Is
properly John or Johns, and has been corrupted
In English into Jones. Note Luke, ChaD 81: s.His
name is JOhn-the prophet OF the highest"-that
is, ne was 20 be priest In ancient Wales the
prlestnood inhered In the family OF Johns, and

The New Minister.

The Hon. Lionel Sackville- West comes Of a
very ancient family. 1t was founded in the reign
of Edward III. of England by Sir Thomas West,
who was in high favor with that monarch, and
has furnished several distinguished soldiers and
statesmen to the nation. The present minister,
who is the fifth son of the fifth Earl Delaware,
was born July 10, 1927. He entered the public
service in 1915 with the Earl of Aberdeen, when
that statesman was foreign secretary. He was
in the foreign Office in 1S47, when he was ap-
pointed attache to the British legation at Lisbon
from which he was transferred in 1S49 to Ma
pies. He was attache at Stuttgart in 1882 at
Berlin in 1853 and secretary of legation at Turin
in 1858. where he was also charge d'affaires on
several occasions between 1859 and 1863 In
1864 he was sent to Madrid as secretary of lega-
ton, where he was charge twice between that
time and 1867. In the latter year he was pro-
NOTED to the secretaryship of the embassy at
Berlin, and transferred to Paris in 1865, where
he was minister plenipotentary portion of the
year during the absence of the ambassador. and
again in 1869. 1871 and 1872. He was appointed
envoy extraordinary and minister plenipoten-
tary to the Argentine Republic in 1872 and to
Spain on the 18th of January 1873, where he
still remained at the date of publication Of the
Alnamoch de Gotta for 1881. 1t will be seen
that Mr.. West has gone up through all grades
OF diplomatic service to his present position of
envoy extraordinary to the United States &C
cording to the excellent rule Of civil service pro-
motion upon experience and merit that prevails
in Great Britain.

The Sale of Stamps.

TO the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
l saw by Thursdays papers that the petition
of the business men, on Pennsylvania avenue.
between 9th and 10th streets, to the Postmaster
General, asking the appointment Of some one
authorized to sell postal cards, stamps. &C.,
was respectfully declined by the acting Post
master General Gen. Hazen) on the ground of
economy. Now it seems to me that this is car
rying the economy business a little too far.
Why not dismiss all the lctter-carriers and re-
move all the letter-bOXes and require every one
to go to the Post Office to receive or post their
letters? This would save lot of money. Why
not send the mails by slow instead of fast
trains? This would also save money. Why not
even 60 further and charge three cents for
postal cards? They cost quite as much to
carry letters do. This would make or
save q large amount for the Post Office,
and according to the brilliant reasoning of Gen
Hazen would be in the line of economy. Will
he dare recommend these measures to Con-
gress? Yet there is just the same argument in
favor of any one of the above propositions as
there is against the appointment of stamp
agents. The Post Office is for the benefit Of the
people. and if Gen. HaZen would spend few
days in any of the prominent stores on the Ave
nue. he would find out how many people would
be benefited if there were other places besides
the Post Office where they could buy stamps
and postal cards. Section 1919. US. Revised
Statutes, authorizes the appointment OF such
agents. and if the Hon. Postmaster General will
carry out that law he will benefit more people
than he seems to have an idea of. Now Mr..
Editor, will you let us hear from you.
