The President 4Ie0ed to BE S1nitten By the
CAcrnss Of the British minister's DaoGt-
ter
The stars and stripes and the union jack
are likely soon to entwine sensationally in
a matrimonial way. President Arthur has
evidently become smitten with Miss Sack
ville-West, the daughter of the British
minister, VINO is heir prasumptlve to her
brother, Lord Sackville, who has been for
six years in the British peerage.
The British minister is diplomatist Of
thirty years standing, and he married when
secretary of the British legation at Madrid
twenty years age, most charming Span
ish lady of excellent family, but in reduced
fortune. who is now dead, and who had been
for brief time on the stage. In the event
of the marriage President Arthur can at
the end of his term carry into effect what
is understood to be a lony-cherished wish
on his part, to travel extensively abroad.
Indeed, if he chose TO permanently reside
abroad in England Or Paris, he would
throughout his life receive very much more
attention and live much more comforta-
BILE and, indeed. more of public life, than
Ito Judge from the retired lives of previous
presidents he could enjoy in this country.
Miss Vests grandfather was Lord De La
War;, descendant of the lord of that name
who was great general in Edward ILLS
time, and descendant also of the peer
after whom Delaware was named. The
present peer of that name is her uncle, and
another uncle was a famous general in the
Crimean war.
Miss West is not yet of age, but has all
the charms of person that add to the dig
nifty and presence of a much older woman.
Oddly enough, the president of the United
States is British subject under British
law, which extends the right of subjectship
to the son or grandson of British-born
subject, although he is born abroad; and
President Arthurs father was a British
subject, and, if the ex-president ever
resides in England, he would by the court
esy of the court, take precedence along
with ex-sovereigns.

4 Fatal accident

At 4 O'Clock last evening Michael Fahey
met with a fatal accident. Mr.. Fahey was
a stone contractor, and was engaged in
cutting and furnishing the stone for the
sewers. Yesterday he, in company with
James Snyder, engineer, went into the
Fourth street sewer at Eleventh avenue
south to make examinations by the dim
light of a lantern. They went down
shaft fifteen feet below the street. Thence
tunnel extended out ten feet in parallel
line to either shaft eighty-fye feet deep,
and thence beneath the ledge to the river.
Near Mueller & Heinrich's brewery they had
made the ten-foot tunnel in safety, and
were making examinations near the mouth
of the deep shaft. Mr.. Fahey stood with
his back towards this shaft, and by some
mistake fell backwards into it to the bot
tom. After much difficulty he was extri-
Gated and taken to q surgeons office, where
it was learned that his ankle was crushed
and his body and face terribly lacerated.
He was then removed to the Sisters hospi-
tai in South Minneapolis, and the surgeon
in charge states that Mr.. Fahey sustained
fatal injuries and cannot possibly sur
vive the night. Mr.. Fahey lived in North
Minneapolis and had wife and six chill
dren il comfortable circumstances fnan-

Where the Day Begins.

By general consent the day is sup
posed to begin in longitude $50 degrees
from Greenwich, the meridian of which
crosses the Pacific ocean. The only
known land upon this line, where a
man could stand, is the northeastern
corner of Asia and two or three little
islands. By looking at a terrestrial
globe, it will readily be perceived that
the point where the day begins must
depend entirely upon what prime
meridian is chosen. If we say it is true
noon when the sun crosses the meridian
of Washington, then the day began on
a line running nearly through the center
of Asia.-Nelo York sam.

A Kings Daughter Vino Teaches

ex-King of Spain. Her mother was
Nine. Dellafaille, who was for many
years the owner and occupant of a
charming residence on bend of the In
dian river, near Evans Mills, a village
ten miles north of WATERFOWL, and who,
as tradition says, while Bonaparte was
resident in that section of New York
State, travelled to Europe with him as
the wife of his private secretary. The
daughter, Caroline, who is lady of ele-

Origin Of Names.

The Baxters belong to the same class
as the Masons, the Carpenters, the Tay-
lors, the Smiths, the GARDENERS and the
Fullers In fact, the surnames derived
from trades or occupations are more nu-
merous than those of any other class,
except patronymics and place names.
Some of them belong to existing trades,
like those quoted above; while others
represent obsolete trades, or, at least,
obsolete-trade Technology, like the
Fletchers, or arrow-makers, the Arb
lastars, who manufactured cross-bows
or arblasts (arcubaliste), and the
fuckers, who worked in the tucking
mills where cloth was prepared for
market. Those who wish for further
Information upon those subjects cannot
do better than turn to Mr.. BardsIey's
excellent and systematic work on
English surnames. A man who bakes
is called Baker; but in earlier times
a woman who baked was called a
Bakester OF Baxter. So a man who
brews is Brewer, while woman who
brews is a Brewster. In the medieval En-
glish termination "ster" was feminine
one, and it still survives with its prim-
tive Specification in spinster. A buck
ster was originally market-woman,
but the word has now come to mean
anybody, male or female, who hawks
goods in the public streets. The same
change has come over maltsteI, throw
ster and many other analogous words.
Bat.sundry surnames will show us the
two forms side by side, as in Weber
and Webster. Hence. We may concInda

that the ancestor OF all the baxterS was
a woman who kept bake6ou e. Why
her descendants should take their name
from her, rather than from her father,
is easy enough to understand on num-
Der of natural hypothesis Joan Bax-
ter may in one place have been a
widow woman, whose children would,
of course, be called after her; in an
other place she might be person Of
some character, while her husband was
a field laborer OF ne'er-do-well, and in
another, again, there might be two
Piers GARDENERS or two Wat Carriers in
the same village, SO that it might be
more convenient to address the young
sters by their mothers calling than by
their fathers CornhiU Magazine.

BOYS Natural Skill.

The majority of boys are born with
capacity for construction. They take
to the use of tools naturally. IF they
can once get an idea into their heads as
to how g thing IS done, they Immediately
set about doing it. It affords them not
only vast deal of amusement, but
they perfect themselves in the use of
tools. We have seen boy put together

fectly. Every rope was in place; the

The matter of extending the city limits
so as to include all of Minneapolis and st.
Anthony township and part of that OF
Richfeld, ELECTED an extended and
spirited discussion before the legislative
delegation. Observation-Disclosures was OF
the opinion that the city was somewhat too
ambitious, and should leave out a portion OF
the farming district and only include that
which is suitable for plating as city lots
Alderman Plllsbury did not believe there
was single acre Of land in the contem-
plated district that could be purchased for
less than $1,000.
W. w. McNair offered 500 acres at $100.
Aid. PIlsbury agreed to purchase the
land. Mr. McNair then explained that
there were EXTENSIVE tracts on the east side
in the vicinity of Crystal lake-a verltable
sand bank, which Is not worth anything,
another large piece of land, near and be-
yond Cedar lake, where there is not vest
ice Of Improvement; nothing but wild, IN
broken land He urged that it would bank
rupt the city to extend the city as contem-
plated. lie had no interest in the wild
land personally, and hence did not speak
from any selfish motive.
Col Hicks proposed including the land
adioined to lakes and Minneapolis, max
ing q zig gag affair which might p
the shrewdest surveyor. He explained
ne had excluded these, particular tracts
which must necessarily be exclusively de-
voted 10 farming pursuits for the coming
five years.
c. A. Pillsbury suggested that the two
sections in Crystal lake be left out
The mayor agreed with Col. Hicks in
certain portions of his recommendations.
He stated that during the summer and
autumn months it was matter of danger
to people visiting the lakes and Mime
haha from assaults by tramps and vicious
characters.
Alderman PillsburY took the floor
to sustain the original proposition.
People, he said, who lived i'll the rural dis
tricts are apprehensive of high taxes, but
as matter OF fact they would never know
the difference.
c. A. Pillsbury recommended that two
additional wards be made.
Aid. Glenn moved an adjournment, say
ing that the Hennepin delegation to the
legislature would probably do as they
pleased respecting all charter amendments,
and hence he thought it best not to tire
them or provoke their ill-will by further
discussion.
