Changing Names.

New York Letter TO Cincinnati Gazette
Another aspect of fashion is shown in
the changes of name. Some persons of
the extensive family of Smith have i'm
proved the above mentioned fashion so
as TO modify their unacceptable titles.
A Mr.. John Howard Smith now writes
his name J. Howardsmith, which his
family considers an Improvement. In
the same manner Roswell Smith becomes
Roswellsmith Another instance is found
IL the family of the famous surgeon, DR..
James Marion Sims. He wrote his name
J. Marion Sims, but his children have
altered it into Marionsims. thus COM
pounding two names into one Other
transformations, however, of a similar
character have formerly occurred in So
cietv. The German baker, HUM, had a
family of sons who became fashionable,
and, therefore, called themselves Hone,
a name which once held distinction in
social life.
The Jew Jacobs has under similar
pressure been turned into Jacot, which
has French sound. August Belmont
was Shonberg when he came to this
country, but he Immediately adopted the
much prettier name by which he has
since been known. Frank Leslie was
Henry Garter in London, but the change
III his case was in order to assist in Sc
crecy. The late Henry Wilson was the
only one of our vice presidents that
changed his name, and as the latter was
Joshua Goliath l am not surprised that
he disiked it. Another still more strik-
ing instance of an alteration occasioned
by antipathy is found in the history of
Robert Treat Paine, Jr His father was
one of the signers of the declaration of
independence. He was also an admirer
OF the author of the "Crisis,' whose
name he gave to a babe born during
those troublous times. When the latter
reached manhood the sage of Reason"
was published and its author fell into
disgrace. This led Thomas Paine, Jr.,
to adopt the name of his father, an act
being passed for this purpose by the
legislature
