A Queens Thoughts.

The latest royal authoress is the Queen Of
Servia, who has published volume of aphor-
isms. The following are said to be favorable
specimens Of her work:
When one wishes TO affirm anything, he
always calls on God TO witness, because He
never contradicts.
The profession of Queen requires only
three qualities-beauty, goodness, and fruit
fulness.
1t is better to have physician for a con-
fessor than priest. You say TO the priest
that you hate mankind, and he will tell you
that you are not a Christian. The physician
will give you rhubarb, and behold you love
your fellow-men. Say to the priest that you
are tired of life, and he will tell you that sui
eide is a crime. The physician will give you
tonic, and behold life is supportable.
In order TO be friend of Sovereign one
should be without passion, without ambition,
without egotism, discreet and provldent- in
short, not man.
A Prince has need, strictly speaking, of but
his eyes and ears his mouth is employed only
in smiling.
Politics is composed of littleness forming
steps to greatness.
A tranquil conscience loves solitude a
guilty soul sees in it only celled prison.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1883-05-23
Origin of Suruames.

The surnames in modern English use belong
for the most part to three classes, the descrip-
tive, derived from nicknames OF names OF
trades, as Black, Short, Miller, and Smith
the patronymic, derived from the name Of an
ancestor, like johnson or Thomson; and the
local, derived from names of places, like
Chester or Thorpe. A fourth class Though it
might be regarded as a variety of the third)
may be formed of the surnames derived from
signs. 1t was formerly the custom for every
shop to have its sign, as inns and taverns have
nowadays. A man whose house bore the sign
of the Bull was designated as "John at the
Bull, or John Bull and the surname of Bull
was inherited by his descendants. The very
numerous surnames of Celtic and Continental
origin which. are found in our directories are
formed on the same principles as those of
native growth. After all the long develop
ment which our English name-system has I'M
dergone, it is still very imperfectly fitted for
the purpose which names are intended to full
fill. 1t is sometimes said that to be called
John Smith is almost as bad as having no
name at all and there are a good many other
combinations Of Christian and surname which
are hardly more distinctive. Il is very likely
that in generation or two this Inconvenience
will, to a great extent, be abolished. The
commonest of our Christian names are fast
losing their popularity, and the use of double
names is becoming the rule instead of the ex-
ception. The practice of assuming compound
surnames is well established amongst the
upper classes of society, and this custom, like
other aristocratic" usages, may be expected
to be largely initiated by persons of lower
rank. 1t is quite conceivable that in hundred
years from now plain "John Smith may
not be easy to find. The process of forming
new surnames has not even yet come to an
end. In many English villages it is quite a
common thing for the children Of the poor to
be ignorant Of their own surnames, and to call
themselves by their fathers nickname, or by
the name of his trade.

Internal Machines a Century Ago.

While the two houses were in recess for the
Christmas holidays, the country was greatly
agitated by number of incendiary fires, which
pointed to the existence of a conspiracy for the
destruction of the shipping and arsenals. AL
though similar design had been conceived in
1894 by the French Minister Choiseul, and had
come TO the knowledge of the English Govern
ment, proper precautions forkthe guarding Of
the arsenals and dock-yaTds were not taken,
and on Dec. 9TH fire broke out at Portsmouth,
which threatened the total destruction of the
national property there. 1t was at first sup
posed to be a mischance, but on the 18th of
Jan. l777, clerk in the dock-yard, in moving
some hemp in the hemp-room, discovered an
explosive machine and various combustible
materials. Some Of the authorities then rec
objected that a sullen, silent man, an artisan,
hadIbeen seen lettering about the yard on the
day of the fire, and had been accidently locked
one night into the rope-house. His exact name
was not known, but, from his calling in life, he
was generally spoken of as John the Painter.
A reward was offered for his capture: but he
had disappeared, and could not be found, in
spite of diligent search, either in Portsmouth
or the neighborhood The suspicion against
him was strengthened by the fact that he had
recently come from America; and panic spread
through tie country, where it was said that a
band of American incendiaries had arrived,
with instructions to spread fire and havoc in
every direction. Subsequent events gave color
to this apprehension. Incendiary fires were
attempted at Plymouth and at Bristol; and in
the latter city the miscreant, having failed to
set fire to some vessels, contrived to burn down
several warehouses that stood upon the quay,
close to crowded mass Of shipping. In
house of the same city, combustibles were
found stored, and the feeling of alarm was
increased in no slight degree
At the beginning of February, a man was
apprehended at Oldham, Hamp., on a charge
Of burglary. He was a ScotchmaD, named
Aitken, "a years of age-a wandering, unset
tied person, who had, at various times, borne
several aliases, and who now turned out to be
John the Painter. Three years previously, he |
had been to seek bis fortune in America, and |
had there adopted the most extreme views of |
the party of independence. On returning to |
Great Britain he had committed various acts |
IF theft, and was at length in custody Oh sus- |
1icion Of house-breaking. 1t was found a very |
iific1lt matter, however, to fix on him any |
connection with the acts of incendiarism, for |
le showed great cleyerness in parTying such /
questions as were asked. On the suggestion |
# Earl Temple another painter, named Bald
win, who had also travelled in America, was
'ut into the same cell with Aitken. By pro-
essiDg sympathy with his views, he managed
o win his confidence, and John the Painter
peedily divulged great deal, which, if true, !
