The Pretty Romance Concerning the
Queerest of Them.

Westminster Abbey is dead. l knew
him well as a thrifty business man, and
for many years he was at the head of
the firm of Abbey d Freeman. / al
ways wondered why his parents gave
him such name, but perhaps they had
heard of Westminster Abbey as a place
of fame, and therefore determined to
give their child immediate distinction.
1t is difficult to imagine why parents
make such ridiculous selections-Pre-
served Fish, for instance. This man
was very successful merchant, and
founded the opulent house of Fish,
Grinnell * Co., at present Grnnell,
Mlnturn q Co. An ingenious fiction
says he was babe cast on the beach by
the waves that broke over wreck, and
his rescuers named him in memory of
from New Bedford (where the family is
well known) in company with the Grin
nells, and they established themselves
here in trade. Some other odd names
are found among our old families, and
i mention Return Jonathan Meigsn as
one instance in which the oddity may be
explained. Jonathan Meigs was
Connecticut youth who courted girl
with such little success that he deter
mined to make final effort. and then,
if refused, to finally withdraw. Accord
ingly he called on the hard-hearted fair
one, and being again refused he took
his departure, but before he got out of
the house he heard the exclamation:
Return Jonathanr' The youth re-
turned, and found the hard heart had
suddenly become tender; the fair one,
indeed, had changed her mind with that
rapidity which is the privilege of the
sex. They were married, and as a very
natural result the first boy that blessed
the happy union was named in honor of
that critical time in their courtship.
Return Jonathan Meigs became man
of some distinction. and held the Office of
Postmsster-General under Monroe's ad-
ministration. may add that Rowland
