Meaning OF Arabic Proper Names.


If tho Arabic names which occur every
day in the kilograms from Egypt were trans
lated some curious misconceptions might
arise. On Saturday Reuters message ran :
"Thek hedive, to-day, summoned the Ameer
Abdel Shskoor, son Of the late Sultan of Dar-
four, and offered to cede to him that province
on certain conditions to be specified in
khedival decree, including the maintenance
of freedom of commerce and the suppression
of the slave trade. He would not be required
to pay tribute. Shakoor intimated that no
would in all probability accept the terms
offered" Abdel Shakoor presents to the
telegraphic agent simple conjunction of
Christian and surname, and accordingly he
familiarly alludes to the complaisant prince
as "Shskoor." But Abd-el-S -Shakoor is all of
a piece, and signifies Servant of the Benefac-
tor" |. o., of God for El-Shakoo pronounced
Eesh-Shakoor, is one of the established names
Of the Deity. The last line Of Reuters tele-
gram should accordingly be interpreted
"God intimated that he would in all pro-
liability accept the terms offered" Now we
do not suppose that the son Of the late Sultan
of Darfour lays claims to any special pro.
vidential intimations.

His Noble Wrath.
To The Editor


In your issue of this morning read a
communication purporting to emanate from
an alleged American. This individual,
sheltering himself under an anonymous let
ter, takes exceptions to some remarks l made
in an interview with reporter about Baker
Pasha. l could admire the ingenuity which
utilities any opportunity for notoriety, wer o
the grounds upon which this anonymous in
dividual bases his ohivalrous philanthropy
truthful ones. Unfortunately, however, for him
made no allusion to the lady at all, either to
attack or defend her, but simply expressed
an opinion as to Col Baker, which is shared
by 95 per cent. of American gentlemen. 1t is
easy to perceive that your correspondent 8
knowledge of English law is on a par with
that Of the English peerage, a study Of both Of
which beg to recommend to his notice, and
in conclusion, as l am not ashamed of my
name, beg to sign myself your obedient
servant, RANDALL ROBERTS.

Increased activity. There were two kinds of
Methodists-one who could not be made to
believe in intellectually. aud tho other in the
highest attainment of IT, The former class
was small. There should be close relation
of the religious with the intellectual life As
minister ho claimed that he had u right
to use such legitimate means to brin q
into the fold the highly intellect
ual as the world had to restrain
them. Tho minister should use whatever
means his conscience led him TO use TO carry
on his work. Turning to the problem of
social life, in it he found many difficulties TO
overcome. The society Of to-day was in
antagonism to the religion of Jesus Christ.
IL had this motto, II want TO have n good
time, and will have it," and this was hard to
overcome. People will have their enoymentg
it matters not what restraints religion may
hold over them. There were two kinds OF
society, the sensuous and tho rational. How
TO reach these was problem. They must bo
met half way. The church must find sono
means to compromise with them, and exert
tho influence that in time may bring them
into true relationship of Christian society, It
was the question of to-day, How shall the
young cultured people OF society be reached
by the church and held within its fold 2"
There must be conservatism exercised aud n
happy feeling extended to those upon the
high mental sphere of life. He believed that
of all tho churches the Protestant Episcopal
understood the matter best, though he did not
believe in the way IL was done. In conclud-
ingan earnest plea was made for the considera-
tion over the matters spoken of and an
expression of hope that the church's activity
would ripen into full growth, the contem-
plated female college, with all the necessary
adjuncts leading to the highest training of
the intellectual powers

BEATING HIS MOTHER.
An East Washington Tough Arrested
for Assaulting His Blind Mother and
Father.

An East Washington Tough Arrested
for Assaulting His Blind Mother and
Father.
A shocking and brutal attempt at murder
occurred in East Washington last evening.
The assailant, young white man named
Thomas Angel, savagely attacked and beat
his aged and blind stepmother with tho butt
of largo horse pistol. The circumstances of
the affair as near as could be learned are as
follows: Angel, who lives with his father
and blind stepmother at No. SID Fourteenth
street southeast, came home in bad humor.
few words passed between him and the old
woman, when he drew the large pistol and
beat her about the head and body. The
poor creature. unable to see, groped about
the walls, trying to mako her escape. She
finally reached the door and fell out into the
snow from exhaustion. Fearing q further
attack from her ferocious stepson, she dragged
her bleeding body, barely covered with
clothing. across the snow, leaving q bloody
trail behind. When found the poor creature
was sitting in the cold, without shoes or
stockings on, and half dead from the loss
Of blood and fright. The father who
demonstrated with the brute, was also
attacked and badly beaten and forced
to take refuge in an outhouse.
Officer Shelton, of the eighth precinct, ar
rived at this juncture, and found young
Angel grasping the pistol and breaking up
the furniture, dishes, and window panes.
The officer grappled him, and fierce struggle
ensued Angel finally broke away and
dashed out into the yard, where he saw his
father, and, with horrible oath, struck him
down with the butt of the weapon. officer
Shelton seized the enraged man again, and
with the assistance of q colored man, disarmed
and lodged him in the eighth precinct station
house. The old woman, in a very precarious
condition, was conveyed to the Washington
asylum hospital. The wounds of the father
were dressed by a neighboring physician.
Angel is large and strong young fellow,
and bears the reputation of being hard

A NEW CANAL.
Holton's Bill TO Connect Washing gton
ana Annapolis by Water.


ana Annapolis by Water.
Representative Holton. of Maryland, has
introduced bill which is of special impor-
tanco to the people of Maryland and the dis
trict. The bill appropriates money for the
survey of canal route from the Eastern
branch of the Potomac river to the Severn
river ut Annapolis. The survey is to be made
by experienced army engineers, under tho
direction of the secretary Of war. Should the
bill become law, Mr.. Holton will, at the
next session of congress, introduce another
bill, specifying the amount OF money recon-
mended by the engineers as necessary for the
construction Of the canal. He claims that q
canal to connect tho waters of the Potomac
with Chesapeake bay has been
a matter of thoughtful discus
sion for many years. He selected,
he says, the narrow stretch of country be,
tween the Eastern branch and the Severn as
the shortest and most practical portion of
Maryland through which the canal could be
dug and speedily carry out this ancient idea.
Tho canal, should IL be completed, would, it
is alleged,be of much benefit to Washington,
for Pennsylvania coal and other products
could be brought to the city at much cheaper
rates than now, and greater demand also
created for tho coal from the Cumberland
coal fields, which coal will then use the canal
system via Washington entirely to find a
market and abandon the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad.
