Origin of the WOrd "Undertakers."
81 Louis Globe Democral

The earliest know use OF this word
as applied to conductors OF funerals is
by Young, who has the couplet:
While rival uudertakers hover round
And with his spaid the sextantmarks the ground
The present use Of the word is no
doubt derived from its primary mean
ING, one who stipulates to do anything
or undestakes the management OF any
affair. Two hundred years ago a
class Of people known as the upholdsrs
were usually called upon to take charge
of funeral. THUS the poet Gay says e.
The upholder, rueful harbinger OF death,
Waits with impotence for the dying breath
Now uphotders were dealers in sec
ond-hand furniture, old clothes, AID
the like, and perhaps were so because
they were so often resorted to as the
last resource of failing credit. AS
these persons were able from their
stock OF cheaply purchased goods TO
supply what was needed at funerals
at less expense than the regular mer-
chant or haberdasher, they came to be
thus employed, and also TO furnish
houses. In time the more amblti Gus
of this class confined their business to
furnishing houses only. and dealt in
goods both old and new, and TO avoid
the confouudikg of their business with
that OF the funeral managers styled
themselves upholsters, name hang
ed later to upholsterers. Subsequently
the'more pretentious members of the
clan of uphoisterers assumed the name
OF undertakers deriving their cogno~
men logically enough from the signi-
fication of its parts in the Saxon tongue
ue. An undertaken; one who takes in
hand a business or task or renders
himself responsible for its performance
or perhaps the idea of the word was
taken from the French name for the
same Office, entrepreneur, though the
primary idea OF the French word is
rather that OF one who bids for a par
tic liar task. Clarendon in his His
terry gives the word with a general
meaning IN the line. "Antrim was
naturally great undertaken" Hon
evweod in "The Good Eatured Man"
Of Goldsmith, speaks thus OF Croaker:
His very mirth is an antidote to all
gayety, and his appearance has a
stronger effect on my spirits than an
undertakers shop"

Special 0dors of the Orange.
San Trlnelsco ChronIcIe

The orange tree usually cultivated
for the perfume of ITS flowers is the
Bigarardler, the fruit Of which is bit,
ter and non-edibie. It's species un-
known in America. But OF all kinds
of non~producing orange the Berga>
mot is really the best. Its essence is
the softest, the most exquisite. The
color of the essence is clear green,
with yellow as il gets older. II is the
heaviest Of all the purfumes of the
orange flower, and the most evanes~
cent, unless care is taken TO change
the flask or other vessel from time to
time, when it is found to preserve its
odor the longest. 1t dissolves IN alco.
hol at % degrees. The essence is ex~
tracted in Sicily or at Reggie, opposite
Messina, by the following method /:
The men or women habituated to the
operation take in the hand piece Of
the fna bark, which they compress
with two fingers. In the other hand
they hold y sponge with which the oil
is taken off by repeated Applications.
When the sponge is saturated the oil
is expressed into a vessel ready to re-.
ceive it. The essence of bergamot is
employed in medicine TO strengthen
the body or correct the odor of offen-
siye ingredients. 1t enters into vari~
Gus odorous compounds and pomades,
and toilet waters are made Of it. The
bark is taken little before maturity,
dried, and sold for variety OF prep
arations.
Perfumers use it as the base Of per
fumed powders. 1t is considerably
used for preserves and bonbons
Orange leaves, especially those Of the
bigarardier or non-edible orange, are
gathered and used for infusions. The
trees are not despoiled especially for
this purpose, bat only the branches or
twigs cut off in the process OF care and
cultivation. They are dried in the
shade and then put on the market. In
1848 dried orange leaves were sold at
20 francs to two hundred pounds.
THIS utilization of product which
can not he used in the prevent state Of
the orange culture in California is
another illustration of the extreme
economy Of the French agriculturist,
which permits nothing to be lost.

The Future Of Africa.
New York Times

Rev. Moses A. Hopkins, the color
ed clergyman of North Carolina who
has been appointed Minister to Liber-
ia, will sail for Africa the latter part
Of this month, and expects to arrive
at Monrovia, the capital Of Liberia,
aboat six weeks afterward. de is now
PASSING few days with friends in
this city. II am of the belief thai
Africa's redemption will depend
largely upon the efforts of the negro. "
he said yesterday africa has wond>
erful natural resources. They are
greater. perhaps, than those of any
other country-and, if we may be-
lieve history, the people of Africa
were once the leaders of civilization.
This is the age of progression, in
which every country is awakening to
active life. England, France ana
Germany are acquiring possessions
wherever they can ia Africa. | don't
think that America will ever care to
go so far for new territory, but our
merchants are seeking everywhere for
new fields of trade. The whole of the
republic of Liberia is anxious for Am~
erican commerce, and it only need as
little effort on the part OF capitalists
to open up the st. Paul River for
navigation, and then the merchants
of America would have the country
of the Soudan open to them. There
are more than hundred million PEG
pie in Western Africa who are anx-
ious to trade with Americans, and /
expect to see the day when the port OF
Monrovia will be full of our ships.
am proud of my appointment as min~
lister, because it gives me opportunity
% devote some OF the best years of nay
life to the cause OF African progress.

BUTCBERED HIS WIFE.
Shocking story of Murder by Hruta
Hushnnd IN HnnhIO, NJ.

Husband IN huHAlos n.
BUFFALO, Nov, 6. "Details of muir
der doubtless committed GA Sunday
night, have Just come to light. Char
les Herman and his wife, Eva, have
for some months occupied rooms in
the upper part OF house IN the Ger
man section OF the city. Mrs. Her
kept small stand on one end of the
public market, while her husband,
butcher, has been out Of employment.
Herman is described as being a man
OF violent temper, especially when I'M
der the influence of liquor, and
heavy drinker. He had been on
prolonged spree and ON Sunday night,
after the couple had retired, sounds Of
a fight between them were heard, but
as this was not an unusual occurrence,
no attention was paid TO H. Since then
nothing has baen seen OF Mrs. Herman
although Herman visited his home
regularly at night and left in the
morning. Last night and this morn
ing he was seen at the usual hour. The
absense of Mrs Herman caused one OF
her neighbors to call at her rooms
this morning, but finding the doors

her body with throat cut from ear to
ear lying upon the floor near the bed.
The woman's hand was also found
cut in several places, while the dis
turbed state Of the room showed that
terrible struggle had taken place.
As the bedroom is the only one occu>
pied by the couple It is believed that
since the murder Herman has slept
there. The post morton examination
seows that Mrs Herman has been
dead number of days
The police decided that Herman had
something to do with the crime, more
especially as the razor with which the
crime was committed was found un,
der the bed, where it bad been thrown.
The entire detective force was put on
the lookout for Herman, and about
o'clock this afternoon Officer Joseph
Wright who learned Of the crime,
found him in saloon ON the Terrace
and placed him under arrest.

RILL NYE's NEPHEW WILLIAM.
The Hero of an old Mxeico Mining
Camp-Kieh Diggtngs,
Cor So. Louis Globe Demscrot.

Cor St. Louis Globe Demscrot
The immediate neighborhood of the
Batopllas mines, in old Mexico, made
celebrated by Shepherds connection
as manager, have just been the scene
of very important and rich strike of
gold ore. 1t is in the San Francisco
mine, IN the southern extremity of the
state Chihuahua, eight miles south of
Guasapares. Mr. William p. Nye is
the newly made capitalist, and is a
nephew of the humorist bv the same
name Two years ago Nye passed
through Ri Paso an prospecting tour
through Mexico and located himself
near Guasapares, which is just south
east of Batapalss the camp where
Boss Shepherd has been operating
so successfully for some years. Nye
soon opened up a new discovery which
he called the San Francisco mine a
favorite name in that land where Pan
chosN abound. In very few months
the lucky prospector found himself
IN possession of q bonanza, for with
shallow depth he succeeded in raising
free gold ores that would assay from
81 900 TO $40. 600 to the ton. The
miner thus found himself in a danger
GUS predicament for he was alone in
foreign country witha fortune IN
his hand He daily mistrusted that
some wretch might take his life TO
grasp his gold. He employed four
Mexican miners, two of whom he had
learned to trust, and two more who
were strangers and acted strangely.
With this help he managed to lit out
some ore and grind it on a metate,
which consists OF two lava stones.
Thus, when the ore was pulveri2ed, by
washing it he procured his gold dust
and concealed it daily under his rustic
bunk, which WAS made of poles and
Colorado feathers
Last August while Nye was sleeping
in his cabin, near his faithful peon,
Manuel, Mexican, who had worked
| for him. ever since he first found ore
with which to pay him, he heard
noise outside, and quick as flash he
grasped his navy SIX shooter, winch
was beside hun, Hardly had he Sc
cured il when he discovered bending
over him human form with raised
arm, ia the hand of which was a glist
ening knife. He fred twice Ia quick
succession and killed the wouid-be ass
sassin. Manuel too, rushed out and
fired at the other two robbers, killing
one of them and allowing the other 20
escape. The next day Nye went to
| the town eight miles distant and gave
! himself up 10 the authorities, VINO, took
him prlsonert and with a jury and an
escort, proceeded to the scene OF the
slaughter Nye says every Mexican
looked auerily at him along the route
and he ex 9ected to be shot every min
ute because he had killed a native On
arriving at the cabin the crowd rccog
nizsd in the dead man, who lay on the
floor, still clutohing the knife with
which he intended to kill, desparado
whom the law had long sought, and,
not waiting TO see the other corpse, each
and every one, judge, witnesses, Juror
and escort began to embrace the prls.
., oncr in true Mexican fashion and con-
graduate hum upon his heroic act.
The other dead man was Of the same
ilk. Since that time Nye has had no
trouble, but has arranged a good sale
OF his property.
