ORIGIN OF THE WORD MISSISSIPPI

ORIGIN OF THE WORD MISSISSIPPI. -
The Mississippi is good instance of
the variations through which some names
have passed. It's original spelling, and
the nearest approach to the Algonquin
word, "the father of waters" is Mocha
Sebe, a spelling still commonly used by
the Louisiana Creoles. Tonti suggested
Niche Sebe which is somewhat nearer
to the present spelling. Father Layat
still further undermined it in Michispi,
which another father, Labatt, softened
into Misispi, the first specimen of the
present spelling The only changes
since have been to overload the word
with consonants. Marquette added the
first and some other explorer in the sec
ond S." making it Mississippi, and so it
remains in France to this day, with only
one "p" The man who added the other
has never been discovered, but he must
have been an American, for at the time
of the purchase OF Louisiana the name
was generally spelled in the colony with
single "p."-Magasine Of american
History.
Camphor is made in Japan in this
way: After tree is felled to, the earth
it is cut up into chips, which are laid in
a tub on large iron post partially filled
with water and placed over a slow fire.
Through holes in the bottom of the tub
steam slowly rises, and, heating the
chips generates oil and camphor. OF
course the tub with the chips has
closely fitting cover. From this cover
bamboo pipe leads to a succession of
other tubs With bamboo connections,
and the last of these tubs is divided into
| two compartments" one above the other,
the dividing floor being perforated with
small holes to allow the water and oil to
pass to the lower compartment. The
upper compartment is supplied with
straw laver which catches and holds the
camphor in crystal in deposit as it passes
to the cooling process. The campher is
then separated from the straw, packed
IN wooden tubs, and is ready for the
market. The oil is used by the natives
for Illuminating and other purposes.

Mistaken identify.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, March ia re-
markable case # mistaken identity is re-
ported from Roystou, Ark Some weeks
since young man named James Forrest sud
denly disappeared. A protracted and dill
gent search, in which the entire community
joined, failed to develop the slightest clew to
his whereabouts, aal the affair was almost
forgotten, when a hunter found the dead
body Of a man lying in a ravine
at the base of a precipice a few
miles from the missing mans home.
The body was fully identified by Mrs. For
rest, James Forests mother as that of her
son, and WAS taken in charge 0y her and the
usual funeral ceremonies performed Four
days after the burial Mrs. Forrest and her
supposed dead son met on the streets OF
Royston. The mother was overwhelmed at
the sudden and unexpected encounter, and
the shock almost killed h,r. The young man
explained his absence, saying he had been
called on business to distant point and had
neglected to notify his mother and friends of
the fact. The body identified as his is sup
posed to be that of a tramp who came to his
death from want and exposure.

NEW YORK, March I3-With reference to
the proposition to restrict congress III the
issuing Of legal tender paper in ali interview
Mr.. George $. COe, president of the Amer
lean Exchange bank, regarded the measure
as one of the best that could have laen in
troducad TO quiet the disturbed feeling which
has agitated the country since the pubica-
tion of the decision of the United States SUI
preme court He believed the measure would
meet with the approval of all sound business
men.
Mr. Francis A Palmer, president of the
Broadway national bank, said an unlimited
paper currency was an evil He thought it
was time the United States got out of the
banking business and left it in the hands of
those who were regularly engaged in it. He
had no objection to the government requir-
ing the strongest security to preserve the in
tegrity of the peoples money, but that it
should have limit put to its issue of paper
money at time when the country was In a
state of peace and prosperity.
George l. Seney, president of the Nitro
polital National bank, said there should be
positive limit to the issue of legal tender
notes. He saw no present or prospective
harm in the limit being $3.50, 900, 600 pro-
vlding the notes were based on gold and
silver and the silver made intrips'sally of the
same value as the gold coin of the sane de
nomination. An unlimited issue, as indicated
by the decision of the United States supreme
court would be one of the most dangerous
elements which could be introduced in
national finance.
Dr. George MArsland, secretary CT the
American Bankers association, said the
measure had been introduced in the first
place without proper understanding of the
decision of the United States supreme court,

anew presented to the public in the recent

confirming the validity of the use of the

Greenbacker:
ut was great victory The decision of
the supreme court settles forever the doctrine
that the Priaciple OF the GEeenback party is
in accordance with the constitution. Oar
little party by its agitation stopped the de-
stractlon of the greenback and compelled the
passage of the act of 1873 by which the re-
issue of greenbacks was authorized after
their redemption by the sub-treasuries.
This act has now been pronounced
constitutional. The doctrine of the
Greenback party will henceforth call
for the rapid payment of the public debt,
which will force a corresponding reduction i'll

thts4 notes are retired legal tenders will be
issued to take their place; thus gradually
legal tenders will suppiant the entire bank
