How S-nator Ewing Came to be Called
..SoI tude"

The nicknaming of prominent men,
particularly of those mixing in politics,
is practiced in America more, perhaps,
than IN any other, and, as a rule, the re-
cipient takes to it kindly. Thus Gen
eral Jackson was as well known as "Old
Hickory" and more readily recognized
than if called President Jackson. Sena-
tor Benton in his life time was almost as
well known as ''Old Bullion so called
from his advocacy of gold and silver
currency and his inveterate opposition to
banks and paper money. The late
Thomas Ewing, Of Ohio, while Senator
in Congress, had his nickname of 'Soli-
tude,' and it so stuck to him that even
now, long after his death, the prefix is
still given him, to distinguish him from
his son and namesake, General Tom Ew-
ing. Senator Ewing made a speech in
the United States Senate which fastened
the Solitude upon him IT was during
the national bank agitation, when the
supporters of that institution were active
in picturing the ruin that would come
upon the country if the banks charter
was not renewed. Senator Ewing in de-
bate spoke of the mechanic being out of
work, and that the busy hum of industry
is heard not in this the busy season of the
year, and wound up with the assertion
that ''our canals are solitude, our lakes
but desert wastes of water" A number
of Congressman several of them Sena-
tors, and more than half of them Demo-
crats-maGe up party to return to their
homes by the way of the New York canal
The West was then sending its produce
to the East via lake and canal, and the
Congressional party found that the canal
trade, if judged by the number of boats
met, was immense, and it was standing
joke with the Democratic members when
feet of boats hove in sight to call Mr..
Ewing from the cabin Of the packet boat
to look at his Solitude At the lower
end of the canal there had been break.
and large number of boats were usually
in sight. OF course, it was fun to see
them and to point them out to the Ohio
member, but the fun was not on his side
nor to his liking. At Rochester, just as
the packet-boat landed, freight boat was
discharging cargo, and Mr.. Ewing and
the other Congressman were lookers-on.
BY some accident, a hogshead filed with
molasses had its head b1rst in, and the
contents poured into the canal. An Irish
laborer standing near to Mr.. Ewing, with
out knowing who he was, exclaimed:
Jabers, mon, that must be solitude
swatened The other Congressman roared
with laughter, and Mr.. Ewing was forced
to join them. The Democratic members
told the joke and it got into the newspa-
pers, and it aided in perpetuating the SOU
briquet of Solitude" on Senator Thomas

Perfumes.

One Mercutio Frangipani, who lived
in 1893, was botanist and traveller,
famous as being one of the Columbus ex.
pedition when they visited the West
India islands. The sailors, as they ap-
preached Antigua, discovered delicious
fragrance in the air. This, Mercutio told
them must be derived from sweet-smell-
ing flowers. On landing, they found
vast quantities of the Plumiera alba in
full bloom, rendering the air redolent
with rich odor, and from this plant which
the present inhabitants Of Antigua call
the Frangipani flower, is distilled that
exquisite fragrance which is still so pop
ular in fashionable circles. This has the
merit of being the most lasting perfume
made. The grandson Of the nobleman,
the Marquis Frangipani, invented a
method OF perfuming gloves, which,
when so perfumed, bore the name OF
.'Frangipani Gloves Although the sale
Of perfumes was at first strictly prohibited
in Rome, their employment became more
and more extravagant, until even the
eagles and standards were thought unfit
to face the barbarian hosts of Northern
Europe unless they had been duly an,
ointed before battle; and should the en-
gagement have proved successful, the
ceremony was repeated. Such was the
demand for the luxury that the CHIEF
street Of Capua was occupied solely By
perfumers. The incense burned by Nero
upon the funeral pyre Of his wife, Pop
pea, exceeded the annual production Of
spices in Arabia. At rather earlier
period Plantuius Plaucus, when pro
scribed by the triumvirs, was betrayed by
his perfumes His place Of concealment
got wind, and discovered him to his pur.
suers.
