his pupils how to act when the Grand
Duke should pass through on the railroad

to change them. Paul Jones, for instance.

emiah Goliath. Reader. you can not be
surprised at his dishhing such name,
nor can you find fault with Joseph Tinker
taking his maternal, thus giving US Joseph
L. buckingham, the once distinguished
journalist. Such changes are sometimes
prompted by interest, and thus the rich
Campbell. of Schenectady, dropped his
original name tSchermerhorn) and adopt
ed that patron who gave him an immense
fortune. Commodore Slidell thus also
became Mackenzie. and in the same
manner the novelist, Cooper, who
originally was merely james"
adopted the middle name of
"Fennimore after he had reach
ed middle life Another once popu-
lar author diminished his name instead of
enlarging it, and by dropping james"
became plain "Bayard Taylor" John
Brahad, once the famous London singer,
was born abraham" but having renounc-
ed Judaism he made the above mention
ed change. still more remarkable
case is met in the founder of the Smith
sonion Institution. 1t was James Lewis

der this name he took his degree at Ok
ford, but he afterward assumed the name
of James Smithson. He was man of
science and also of immence wealth and
bequeathed half million to the United

which bears his name. This was certain

THE PRESIDENTS DESK.
The Curious Mass of Matter That Finds Place
Oh the Executive Table.
WASHINGTON Post


The presidents desk In the morning
presents queer sight. When the chief
executive lays aside his Havana to go to
work there are upon the table all sorts of
things. Papers of every description, per-
tanning to almost every known subject
under the sun. are there, and the writing
on the envelopes is a study People re-
sort to every means to reach the presidents
ear and eye and present their claims after
their own style. Personal is always
written on letters addressed to the presi-
dent, but nearly all his mail is gone
through by Col. Lamont and the under
secretaries and the really personal letters
sifted out and laid on the presidents
desk, and these are legion. His desk is
always neatly arranged in the morning,
but 1t presents sorry appearance when
the days work is done. The president re-
ceives good many papers from callers
during the day, and these he lays on the
table. He is quick worker, and in an
hour generally has every thing in order,
and a majority of the cases either dispos-
ed of entirely or properly referred.
One of the most pleasant yet difficult
duties he has TO perform is appeasing the
autograph craze. DoOrkeeper Loeffier gen
orally has dozen or 80 autograph albums
ing oII HIS tdDlt. w HtLl INC pitsiuciL
comes to the Office in the morning Loeffier
takes in his little load, and if the presi-
dent appears to be in good humor he
lays them on the table, and the president
with a laugh and some remark about the
craze, writes his signature nearly always
this way:
Grover Cleveland,
April 7, 1886.
When the books have all been signed
Loeffier takes them to his desk and keeps
them till they are called for The presi-
dent sometimes varies the way of writing
his autograph, occasionally following the
date by Executive Mansion" or white
House." but never putting president be-
fore or after his name. great many of
the autograph books are left by senators,
members and other high officials, but al
most every caller has book in which
they want the presidents signature. If
all these were sent in the labor would keep
the president busy for twenty-five hours
i'll the day, but Mr.. Loeffier has a way of
keeping the people off. The president
never refuses to sign his name in the
books, as not more than half dozed at
time are taken in to him, and these only
about three days in the week.
Some ladies interested i'll one of the
charitable institutions of this city called
on the president month or so ago and
requested that he donate his signature to
be voted for at the fair to be given for the
benefit of the institution. The president
seized a piece of paper; then stopped and,
opened drawer pulled out his check-book,
| filled it i'll for a substantial amount. and
signed it; giving it to one of the ladies
with the remark: Il guess that autograph
will do more good"

The steamer Muriel has Just arrived
from the West Indies, and person read
ing this item in the shipping column re-
marked, What a strange nameT This
leads one to notice the fashion of the
present day TO revive old names, some of
which indeed have become obsolete
''Muriel'' was favorite name in old Eng
lish history, and the Duk of Norfolk, who
fought at Flodden t1513), gave it to his
second daughter, who married the Earl
of Wiltshire. Lord STAFFORD Is also men
toned as marrying ''Muriel' Gray, but
the name has since then fallen into disuse
until applied to the aforementioned
steamer.
Maud" Is another old name which after
long neglect has again become popular.
The correct way of writing it Is Maud"
Thus William Beauchamp, who lived in
the days of Queen Elizabeth, married
Maud" daughter of Lord Knitting. So
also Lord Mulgrave Is mentioned as mar
rying Maud daughter of the Earl of
Stafford. Another female name once in
common use buthow obsolete Is Audrey
