THE GREAT PUBLIC SORROW has drawn
the nation together into one family, and a
thrill of domestic joy runs with quick
electric flash through the mighty house
hold at the simple message: "Mrs. Garfield
is taking her evening drive" Within those
plain words is story that we all know
how the warm heart of the suffering hus-
band tenderly grieves over her much-tried
strength, and that in danger she is ever al
his bedside, and no bulletin signed by au-
thority sends such assurance of comfort
through the land as that simple event OF
domestic life.

SINGULAR HOW A NATIONAL CALAMITY
wipes out bigotry and prejudice? During
the late campaign, no paper in the country
indulged in more gratuitous abuse of Gon.
Hancock than the Indianapolis Journal
Experiencing change of heart, it now
says:
General Hancock proves himself to be
more of II patriot and gentleman every day.
While there hangs over the country the
painful possibility of q change In the Prcs-
selves with the effort TO create prejudice
is telegraphed from Boston that while en-
route for Portland, General Hancock was
asked his opinion of General Arthur, and
he replied that she was an able, patriotic,
high-minded gentleman, and, in the event
OF his being called to the Chief Magistracy,
would discharge the duties with but one
purpose, that of benefiting the entire coun-
try, and that the people may rely ON his
Judgment with absolute ,confidence.n This
Is the uniform testimony of all who know
the Vice-President, ana the estimate has
been borne out by the delicacy and pro-
priety with which he has conducted him
self throughout u crisis in which he has
occupied more trying position than even
before fell to the lot of q pubic man In
this country.
If this "patriot and gentleman" should
bc the next nominee Of his party, the Jour-
nal would resume work on its mud
machine.

it was simply tin can: but the Gaul as
was his wont, placing the noun before the
adjective, and pronouncing the letter ''i' as
e, brought it out as cantin, pronounced can
teen. Adopting thousand other terms, the
dull Englisbman took back his own original
word in new shape without any inquiries
on the subject and hence we now say can
teen instead of tin can.
Blue Hen.-The nickname given to the
State of Delaware. The origin of the
term is this Captain Caldwell, an
officer of the LIST Delaware regiment in the
revolution, was very fond of guIne cocks
but maintained that no cock was
truly game unless its mother was /" blue
hen" As he was an exceedingly popular
man, his regiment was called THE Blue
Hen" and the term was afterwards trans
ferred to the State and its inhabitants.
There's many q slip 'tlceeaa tile cup and
the Gp.-The ancient Greeks had the fol-
lowing story as to the origin of this
proverb: A King of Thrace had planted a
vineyard, when one of his slaves whom he
had much oppressed in that very work,
prophesied that he should never taste of the
wine produced in it. The monarch disre-
garded the prediction, and went at an enter
tainment he held a glassful of his own wine,
made from the grapes of that vineyard, he
sent for the slave and asked him what he
thought of his prophecy now. To which
the latter replied: g Many things fall out
between the cup and the lip" and had
scarcely delivered this singular response be-
fore the news was brought that monstrous
boar was laying waste the favorite vineyard.
The King in a rage put down the cup
which he held in his hand and hurried out
with his people to attack the boar, but be-
ing too eager, the animal rushed upon him
| and killed him without his having tasted of
| the wine

The original of this refrain was, "Fal,
lear, luadh ali, " and it hailed the sun rising
above the sea. ''Tooral, looral," High
troIollie," and many other of these appar-
emily meaningless burdens to old songs have
similar curious origin.
Ut0pid.-The word is derived from the
Greek, and signifies "N0 place." Sir
| Thomas Moore first used it to designate his
model State, and feigned it to be located
among the Atlantic isles. From this fiction
the term Utopian is used to denote theoreti-
cal or imaginary schemes and places. The
republic of Plato was, in like manner, stu
t ated in the happy regions of the West
even beyond the Hesperides Islands. There
may have been, in the days of Plato, some
| knowledge of the American Archipelago,
and here his republic arose and flourished.
| Money makes the mare g0.-At horse
race, long time ago, a man had a mare
which was noted for its fleetness. An effort
was made to induce him to permit trial of
speed but until purse was raised to his
ffll9ure, he refused, saying, "Money makes
the mare CO."
Sc0t.tfee.-The word ''scot" is an old
Anglo-Saxon word, meaning tax. In the
old law scot and lot was a customary con-
| tribution laid on subjects according to their
ability. We quote from Sir Walter Scott
do as much for this purpose, and thou
| shalt pass scot-free."
GrQg.-Admiral Vernon-the same after
whom Mount Vernon was named-was the
first to require his men to drink their spirits
mixed with water. In bad weather he was
in the habit of walking the deck in rough
grogum cloak, and hence had obtained the
name of cold Grog" in the service Such
was the origin of the name applied to rum
and water.
Biscut-The name of biscuit was origin
ally cts cutt, meaning crumb or paste baked
bread; however the first idea of biscuit is
to be found in the flat made cakes, baked on
the hearth or griddle-the most primitive
form of unleavened bread But probably
the first regular use for which biscuits were
drafted was for marine supplies, the idea
originating, it is thought, in Holland The
first biscuits were made by hand, until the
introduction of the bakery machinery into
the royal dockyards of England
M0rtgqge derived from two French
words which means /" death grip"
Pecunsa,y. Derived from the Latin
word pecunta, meaning money, which in
turn came from the word pecus Cattle, a
name given to the rich but vulgar shoddy
families in ancient times
Canteen.-This is, perhaps, the only
word In our language, which, originally
English, passed into foreign tongue, and
was afterward taken back in a modified
FORM AS originally spoken by the Saxon,
