[Circular.] Washington, Mag l6, 1881
There being now pending in this depart
slent great numbers of volunteer pension
claims which cannot be sati5fa etorily verified
for want of information which missing re-
cords of discontinued volunteer commands
would afford, and it having transpired in
many instances that officers of the late
volunteer forces have still in their possession
or under their control books and other
records pertaining TO their corps, divisions,
brigsdes, regiments, and companies, their
attention is called to the fact that all such
books and records should be deposited with
this Office, and they are earnestly requested
to cause the same to be forwarded without
delay to the Adjutant General of the Army,
at Washington, District of Columbia.
No expense, other than postage or proper
express charges when packages exceed four
pounds, the limit for mail parcelsh eau be
paid by the Government.
In the interest Of the great number of
widows. orphans, and disabled soldiers whose
claims are involved, the newspapers of the
country are requested to give the substance
of this circular the greatest publicity.
By order of the Secretary of War:

Origin of Names.

1t is not generally known that the Hud-
son is called North Rverin contradistinetion to the
South River, as the Delaware was formerly styled.
Massachusetts was so dubbed because in the
aboriginal tongue it meant " about the great hills !"
that is, the Blue Hills. Boston, named after the
English city, was originally st. BardOlph's town,
of which Boston is an abbreviated corruption. Al
bany was so christened in honor of the Duke of
York and Albany (afterward James H., at the
time it came into possession of the English 1664.
CatskiH is the Dutch for panther or lynx, which
once infested those mountains. Cattaraugus was
so designated by the Indians because they had,
for some mysterious reason, associated it with I'M
pleasant odors. 1t means illsmelling shore. This
is not so bad as Chicago an Indian word, signify
ing q stencil, which, judging from the COM
plants in Chicago papers of the citys fra
GRANGE, would seem to have been properly
named. Chemung means big horn, from fossil
tusk found in the river. Crown Point is said to
have been so called because scalping parties were
sent thence by the French and Indians. Eric
signifies wild cat (the Erie Railway has certainly
been wild cat" road, as the expression is I'M
derstOod in the Vest, and was borne BY fierce
tribe of savages exterIninated by the IrOquoiS
Manhattan is eminently fitting for the metropolis
its import being town on the island. Mohawk
was applied by the New England tribes to the
Iroquois, from their habit of eating live food
Niagara means neck Of water; Oneida, people of
the beacon stones; 0nOndaga, place of the hills;
Saratoga, place of the miraculous waters in rock;
Ontario village on mountain-the chief seat of
the Onondagas; Schenectady, river valley beyond
the pine trees; Seneca (not classic, as many have
supposed) is corrupt Indian pronunciation of the
Dutch word cinnabar-vermillcn Jersey is cor
Tuption of Cesarea, the old Latin name Of the
largest of the Channel Islands, and very unlike
sister State, which go: its title, perhaps, by con-
trast. Passaic signifies valley

Ii Should Reflect.

The next time the London Spectator feels
impelled to remark that the American people do
less for the world involving selfSacrice than any
other great people init" it should pause to reflect
whether this Nation has not done good deal in
volving selfsacrifce" for the wrctched victims Of
British misgoyernmsnt in Ireland; st more than
one time of sore distress, whether they did not
"look up tn the great Republic for ali and
get it,; whether that struggling people did
not "tlrn 10 her feet with longing
Joy. During the irish famineS of 1SI7 and
1879 there were small American fleets whose
arrival brought life and happiness 20 many thou
sands of British subjects. To DC sGre this was not
q political interference. II was not quarrel be-
tween Two greedy governments over boundary

Mr. Frank Work owner of the trott

Mr.. Frank Work, owner of the trotter
Edward, has wagered $4,000 against Mr.. Louis
Lorillarls $4,000 that his horse beat Mr. Foster
Dewey's Richard, the race to be mile heats, best
three in five, on the Hartford Comm track on the
first Wednesday in June Not satisfied with this,
Mr.. Work offered to bet an additional $4,000 to
another $4,000 on the result, and the offer is still
open. This is the largest betting on a trotting
match that ever took place in this or any other
country. The largest match previous to the pres
ent was double one which was made in the year
1853 and was between the trottng gelding Ken
lucky Prince, owned by Mr.. r. Ten Brock, and
the pacing gelding Hero, owned by Mr. Joseph
Hall. 1t was for 5000 side each match, in har-
ness, drivers to weigh 165 pounds. Kentucky
Prince won both matches, the last ten mile match
being trotted by Prince in . minutes SO seconds.
Before Edward and Richard come to the post on
the Hartford track next summer it will be safe to
say that 100000 will be pending on the result by
the admirers of the respective horses.

The following is a description Of the
costume of Turkish lady of rank. How would
some of our society bellies look thus arrayed? Over
a chemisette of delicate striped gauze richly en-
broidered in gold she wore black velvet waist
coat. stiff with gold galloon and edged with
thick row of pendant buttons in gold tligree upon
this Jacket of plum colored silk, also trimmed
with gold, having sleeves of peculiar form,
peaked at the wrist. She wore no antary, but her
yoluminous trousers of white striped muslin were
heavily embroidered with gold. This brilliant
costume was completed by sleeveless pelisse,
reaching to the feet in crimson velvet thickly
braided with the same precious metal, magniff-
cent shawl girdle, and pale yellow handkerchief
to confne the ripping masses finer jet black hair

leaned back on the cushions of the diyan, lightly
holding an amber tipped tchibeuk

this is the principal fuel used both in India and
Egypt. The Mohurrum holidays took place on the

events somewhat similar to our Christmas. An
order was issued closing all the dramshOps at that
time but in spite of this many of the followers Of
the Prophet were found in a state of bessty intoxi
cation. The cause was traced to drinking cologne

The TTeaSurprs!Iin
GOVERNOR MoRGAN's DECLINATION
ABSOLUTE.

GOVERNOR MORGAN's DECLINATIoN
ABSOLUTE.
Washington, October 25.-President
Arthur has stated that Ex-Governor
Morgan's declnation of the Secretary
of the Treasury Was absolute.
The Star learns from close per
sonal friend of the President that the
choice of Secretary of the Treasury
rested between Judge Folger, of New
York, and Treasurer Giltillan, the
place to be first offered to Judge
Folger.
1t is reported tonight, and the re-
port credited by Republicans whose
political prominence ought TO give
weight to their belief, that since eX-
Governor Morgan refused to take the
treasury portfolio it has been offered to
Judge Folger, of New York, whether
he will accept or not is unknown. In
view of Governor. Morgan's positive
declination the reconstruction OF the
cabinet seems further off tonight
than last night although the President
is reported to have said to-day that he
would probobiy send in the name of
another prominent fnancier to.nor-
row and that he did not expect to hold
the Senate longer than Thursday.
The name OF United States Treasurer
Gilflllan is mention rs the prominent
iinancier referred to oamong the United
States Senators, however, and polite
ians. General Gilfillan's nomination
is thought to be extremely doubtful
and should he be appointed and CON
fiymcG it is believed the appointment
would be only a temporary one to
bridge over the time between now and
the meeting of the regular session in
December.

The New Secretary.

Edwin D. Morgan, who has been
nominated and confirmed for secre-
tary of the Treasury, was born in
Washington, Berkshicr County, Mass.
on FEBRUARY SSH. His early cduca-
tion was limited, ana al age of Is he
became clerk in bis uncle's whole
sale grocery store in Hartford, Conn.
He was an apt business man and within
three years was taken in partnership.
His abilities ohtainc1 recognition from
the prominent men Of the place, aud
soon after becoming of age he was
made Incmberof the City Council.
Frequently he went to New York to
purchase goods and among dealers
there he was rcckoncd Il promising
young merchant, In 1885 he sought
the wide field for business activity of
fered in that city, and with two part
ners opened Il jobbing grocery house
The next year he separated from the
firm and hung out the sign "E. ID.
Morgan, grocer and commission mer-
chant" at No. 63 Front Street. He
was successful in his undertaking, and
by the time he was So years of aye he
was wealthy man and began to turn
his attention to the wide field OF poiit-
ical life for which his ambition had
long had yearning. He retired from
a personal supervision of the details of
his large business by taking several Of
his head clerks into partnership and
forming the house of L. D. Morgan
d Co., which is still in existence.
In 1919 he was chosen Alderman of
the most opulent ward in New York
City. This was closely followed by
his election to the State Senate, whore
lie served two terms When the Re
publican party was organizing he
Joined his fortunes with it and took AN
active part in its formation in the
State. In 1855 he was appointed Com
missioner of Emigration. He was
Vice Presidentof the National Repub-
lican Convention in 1866. In 1853 he
was elected Governor of New York.
His administration was so popular that
he was reelected and became the first
War Governor. He welcomed Presi-
dent Lincoln on his way to Washing
ton at the State House in Albany, and
when the war was declared he sup
ported the Administration in the most
determined manner. President Lin
coin in 1851 appointed him Major
General of volunteers, and though he
rendered much genuine service ali
compensation was declined. In 1863
he was elected a United States Senator
from New York, aud served on the
Committees of Finance, Military
Affairs and Printing. His term ex-
pired in 1869. Since his retirement
from the Senate he has made tour of
Europe and given much attention to
study and reading. He was Chairman
of the National Republican Committee
for a number of years. OF late years
he has been actively engaged in poll
ties, but has taken great inter-
est in benevolent and educational
institutions, giving literally to them
from his ample fortune.
