Naming the Baby.

New York Evening Post.
Somewhere in tho world this important gues-
ton is being discussed: What shall we name
the babyl' Like most other important questions,
this cannot be settled without reference to other
considerations than purely personal ones; other
feelings of various branches of the family must
be respected and strict impartiality exhibited.
The ardent reformer of to-day frequently breaks
out in TRADE against the almost universal
tendency to add an lie to the childrens
names and. it is by them made ridicu-
lous But there are other Objectionable features
which may be mentioned There seem to be a
sort of harmony required between tho first and
last name, and should be taken into account
when the baby is named. 1t is shame, for
instance for Mrs, Button to call her baby Pearl
las she did, to the childs lasting humiliation),
even if the dear baby suggested purity and
light; or for Dir. Green to call his boy and girl
Winter and Ivy and so to single them out from
their kind and make them legitimate pray for
their unfeeling schoolmate.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
BLOOMINGTON, Jan. l0-On the 10th day of
July last the citizens of Bloomington were sur
prised by the announcement that Lawson E. Nc
Kinney, who had been treasurer of Monroe eoun-
ty for almost two terms, and previous to that
sheriff for four years, had proved defaulter for
the amount of $17, 900, which he accounted for
by saying it went to pay debts. Though there
was considerable talk for some time, yet Me
Kinney was continued in Office for more than a
month"; and quietly, before it was suspected by
any one, it was announced that he had left for
Texas near Albany, and located on farm. Thus
no arrest was made for the default, and to-day
lac goes free, leaving his numerous bondsmen to
settle his deficiency in accounts, unless they
escape through a technicality of the law
AS was noted in a dispatch to the Journal yes
terday the bondsmen are now trying to make
their escape, and the trial of the validity of the
bond is now in progress before Judge Pearson;
of Bedford. An effort is being made to prove
that the bond was not legally attested by the
court that several names given
under false pretenses, and that the
default on the second term, for
which the first bond, now on trial, is not respon-
sible and to prove this the annual report of the
commissioners is given that attest a correct
settlement, and the bondsmen were discharged.
So it is evident that the case is a complex one,
and most likely will result in Monroe county
footing the bill. Several years ago a treasurer
by the name of Gentry Democrat escaped on
this point, after making way with almost $2O,
ney's bondsmen would make it a stand off
At the last meeting of the grand jury two in
dictments were found against Mckinney, each
for absconding with public funds. Since moving
to Texas he has moved to Albany, where he has
opened out a hotel in grand style, and is run
ming it under his sisters name. The result of
the bond trial viii likely not be known before
Saturday. @

Two of our Wisconsin statesmen Mr.. Deuster,

intellects engaged upon it, there is ground for
hope that the work of Washington, Hamilton
Sumner proposes that only majority vote shall
be required to pass bill over the Presidents

had whisky and beer in his mind, if not in his
