In The Name Mary.

From the Chicago News.
More women have been named Mary
than any other name which has blest
or cursed the feminine SEX. 1t stands
as the typical name for the hottest and
most abject of women-for the virgin
and the wanton. And in every lam
guage of Asia and Europe, as well as
that of Egypt, this name appears al
most without variation. 1t has been
an eqdal favorite with the aristocrats
of. France and the Puritans of New
England, and it equally becomes liter
allure or kitchen. 1t is stately when
we speak OF Lady Mary Worthy Mon
tague; it is simplicity itself when we
refer to Mary O'Brien, who brings in
our breakfast rolls. At one time it
may bring up apicture of divine
painted face, hanging in the rich gloom
of an Italian gallery, and at another
of a red, cheeked dairymaid, with her
bare feet In the daisied grass. Two of
England's Ave Queens have borne it.
and the most memorable woman that
Scotland aver produced has made it
I immortal. The proudest women of
France have dignifed it, and the
worst women of Russia have disgrace
ed it. There are as many Marys
smiling at the c~ircling suns that
make the brief summer by the north
ern sea as Toll through the luxurious
days by the Mediterranean. The
name that Catholic missionaries gave
to the first converted Indian maiden
was Mary, and perhaps the first
daughter of every family for all time
will stand in imminent danger of
bearing the name, for it is the first to
be considered in naming girl babies,
and when rejected is always thought
of with lingering tenderness. How
many lovers have loved it! How they
have associated it with purity and
gentleness, with womanliness and
candor and trustl What a faithful
name it isl It's bearer seems predes-
tined to sorrow, yet 1T is gladstone,
too. "My mothers name was
Mary What a pleasant thing to
sayl "My little daughter Mary"
Could anything be prettier? 0My
sister Mary, who is dead What q
wreath of tender snggestionsl "Mary,
my wife" What q picture OF home
comfort!

Houses that Great Men Lived In,

Pal Mall Gazette.
The committee on inscriptions in
Paris has been continuing it's useful
and interesting work. The house in
the Chaussee d. Antin where Rossini
lived for SO many years has been dis
tinguished with a plaque marking out
the circumstances. Any one who has
travelled much in Germany and Italy
knows how sedulous foreign munich
palities are to throw this kind ofldstre
over their cities. We find the Dante
House at Florence and the Goethe
House at Frankfort bought by the
state, which is proud to own and dis
play them. Even if a traveller of note
has '~'descended" on his way and be-
come q resident of the place, the fact
is gracefully recorded. The word
Mozart" hight capitals over the first
floor windows of a house in the Zeil,
at Frankfort, tells it's own tale, and
a bust of O'Connell decorates the
frontage of the Hotel Trombetta, at
Genoa, where the Liberator died.
Here IN London we have few records
OF foreigners who have resided among
us. 1t is known that Haydn and
Handel and Mendelsshon, Vandyck
and Rubens and Kaufman and
Voltaire have all been here, but we
have no trace of their habitations.
We do not care to record and distin-
guish the dwelling places of our own
great men. One society does, indeed,
act the partof asort of"Old Mortali-
ty''in revivifying old traditions, and q
few plaques scattered over London
show how great an interest is allowed
to remain unawakened. The houses
where Goldsmith died, where Thackery
wrote Vanity Fair" where Charles
Dickens wrote Edwin Drood"-these
and many others are now known and
will soon be forgotten. France, Ger
many, Austria or Italy would be proud
to record of foreigners what our care
lessness thinks not worth mentioning
Of our own countrymen.

Five out of Five Hundred.

In one of the s~euarest, fairest, ferc.
est battles of the war 500 men were
thrownforward to check fora moment

many Confederates. OF the 800 men
in line at the beginning of the charge

startled group about the torn and
blood-stained flag that had been
down and up q good many times.
Dazed they were, crazed they wers,
by the overwhelming catastrophe,
but the instinct of clinging to the flag
was there. My comrades were better
soldiers than /. They were men whose
eyes flashed, and whose nostrils
widened when conflict became furious,
and it was a delight to me in that
minute to know that in this hour of
trial my controlling impulse, my
instructive move had been the same
as theirs, to cling to the flag. had
nc idea then that we would live five
minutes, and yet / exulted in the
thought that when put to trial | had
done my full duty. We brought the
flag out of the fight. Four of the men
are living yet, but they have not met

walks of life, and not n of them is
given to self-adulation, but to all of
them that incident of battle is q
precious memory. After that, as one

The FIGHT against Sam Randall goes
on all along the democratic lines. The
opposition to him is intensified by the
good standing he maintains with the
head of the administration. The tight
thus becomes twO-fOld-it Is fight
against Sam Randall on the ground OF
jealousy, charges OF bOssism, undemo-
cratic ideas on protection and the tarlf,
and the native opposition to his leader
ship as a northern democrat; 1t is, also,
a fight against him as the exponent OF
the anti-free trade democracy OF the
President, by whose favor Mr.. Randall
dispenses the party loaves and fishes in
Pennsylvania. This is not the first time
that Mr.. Randall has been called to &C
count for his anti-democratic views on
the tariff. 1t is not the first time that
the party lash has been vigorously APP
piled to his back, and II is not the first
time that Mr.. Randall has shown the
wOuld-be-whippers-in Of his party that
he has the independence to think Tor
himself, and the manhood to act as he
thinks wisest and best. Failing to reach
Mr.. Randall through these methods,
failing also by all methods hitherto en-
ployed to deprive the Hon. Sam Of his
hold upon the protectionist wing OF the
democracy, and fearing that this protec-
ZIONIST heresy will spread until the solid
south shall be split in twain by its sepa-
rating operation, an appeal has been
made to MIR. Cleveland to withdraw his
favor from the Pennsylvania leader and
leave him solitary and alone in the
midst Of q free trade wilderness. Great
complaint IS made because Mr.. Randall
has the dispensing of federal patronage
in Pennsylvania, and the fact is cited as
a direct affront to democratic opinion,
and made to stand sponsor for the diVid-
ed condition Of the party. The fact is
that the terms democrat and republican
do not designate the diyersities of opin-
ion on tariff matters that obtain in diff
ferent sections. The old party names
are growing too weak to hold protec-
tionists asunder, and the intelligent
hundreds in the democratic camp are
certain to join the thousands in the re-
publican army, and thus, IN time, will
the solid democracy be divided.

answer to the question "What is a fair

on San Antonio streets? and wants the
answer in dollars and cents. The LIGHT
has taken little pains to enquire into
the cost Of rents, provisions, clothing,
fuel, medical attendance, days In which
no street work can be done, etc. and
unhesitatingly answers that fair days
wages for fair days work ranges from
SLIGO to $3.50 per day and that anything
less than this is pauperizing labor.

CHICAGO is asking consideration for
the anarchist trials, now nearing close
in that city, as the most important of
any ever tried before any tribunal in
any age. The only exception Chicago
is willing to allow is that which took
place before Pontius PLATE some 1850
years ago. Chicago will want to build a
bogus Vesuvius some day and set the
thing to work on an imitation inunda-
ton OF lava and ashes. Chicago will
beat the record If she has to blow up her
entire police force to do it.

THE old days of 1871, when the whole
northwest was one mass Of flame and
forest fires swept over tens of thousands
of acres of valuable timber land IN Wis
consin and Michigan, are revived in the
reports that reach us from Green Bay,
Wis. The counties Of Portage, Mara
thon, Wood. Clark, Brown, Door and
Calumet have seven hundred homeless,
houseless families burned out with
all they possess, and compelled to seek
shelter with their more fortunate neigh
bors. Along the line of the Wisconsin
Central fifty saw mills were burned;
thousands Of acres Of valuable cranberry
marshes destroyed; hundreds of thou
sands of acres of young pines destroyed,
and cattle and horses cremated by the
hundred. The end 10 not yet reached,

The endorsement Of the adminlstra-
tion Of Grover Cleveland by the Calves
ton convention is causing considerable
comment In the democratic camp. The

kindly to his anti-silver policy, and this
greasing him with taxed butter and
swallowing him whole has disgruntled
some Of the Texas straight-outs. The
fun that is lying perdu in the old party
will grow fast and furious before the
ides of November, 1883.

The latest kink in the democratic men,
agerie lie to charge James G. Blaine with
having inspired Congressman Hits OPP
position to any action by congress on
the Mexican outrage matter, in order
that the administration might be
damned for its lack Of backbone. There
are two fatal objections to this attempt
to make Blaine the scape-goat of this
democratic blunder. First, and princi-
pally, because this democratic admins
tration was tetotally damned in the
eyes Of the nation before the Cutting
case was on deck at all; secondly, and
obviously, James G. Blaine is not an I'M
mitigated fool. His worst enemies I'M
derstand this best. Such an excuse
must have rent the brain Of the genius
who evolved it worse than the devils
did the poor lunatic OF the scriptures
when they were exercised.
