Mother Goose.

EDITORS CONSTITUTION: Who was Mother
Goose, and what was the origin OF her rhymes
JF.
Sir William Wells Newell who delivered a course
oflecturcs folk lore in the chapel of the church
of the Messiah in New York, brought the series to
q close with discourse adapted to the ears and
years of grown up people, on nursery tales, in the
course Of which he made some interesting remarks
about Mother Goose, incidentally remarking with
considerable force upon Bostons claim to tie natiy
ity of that famous author. Knowing what ] do
about Mother Goose, said Sir William it panied and
surprised to see it asserted in print that She was
once lady Of Boston. As nearly as I can make
out, this prcpoterou3 claim is based solely upon the
fact that in the year 1852, there resided in
Boston a Mr. Isaac Nergo1se, who married
for his second wife one Elizabeth Foster
This lady, who, BostoIiaas assert, dropped the PIE
fix and became simply Ms Goose, had several chill
dren-thercby becoming Mother Goose-am0ng
whom i.lizabeL Elizabeth married Il printer
named Thomas Fleet, in IT'S, and Thomas estab-
lished printing house in Pudding lane. According
to the Boston story Mr.. Fleet had SON into the
tender ear Of whom Mother-in-Law Goose, OF Yer
goose was want 10 chant strange but pleasing ditties
These her dutful sonin-laW published in pamphlet
form. Now, to speak plainly, though reluctantly,
do not believe this story. Much as it may shock
the world al large have no hesitation in saving

plicity, she may have been malicious, alarming
bag Charles Penaut gave the title ofContes de Ma
Mere I Dye to volume of tales published in 1887
But the name was not invented by him, for it was
quoted by the satirst 9grer, more than century
before Queen Goosefoot Refine Pedance), Bertha
with the great-foot, goose-loot, appears as
synonyms of Mother Goose, in French tales Queen
Bertha. with the great-foot, was Charlemagues
mother, rs is represented in the cycle OF Charlie
magne.
Again, there was Bertha, who was the wife of
Rudolf of Burgundy. Now, let it be remembered
that Bertha mems the bright" and is the name of
the ancient Teutonic goddess, equivalent to IIulda
On the Rhine and in Switzerland, when Christianity
came in, Bertha was represented being dangerous
to children. She presidcs over spinning and sacri.
fees of meat and fish are still offered at her feass
She has long nose and large goose-teat She
doubtless got her gooseeet the devil got his hoof
as mark of degradation. The second day Of tho
year is her festival, and is kept a childs holiday
From this and other reasoning, Mr. Newell was con
vinccd that the name of Mother Goose originated
rom the Teutonic goddess, presiding over house
keeping and children degraded in Christian times rs

As Others See Is.

Charles Dickens, the son OF the famous
novelist, doubtless Thought that he was treat
ing us very handsomely when lie remarked
the other day, that The American hotels were
the finest and best in the world.
This is AL very wen, but We have some
thing IN this country besides hotels. The
remark made b. the younger Dickens shows
that hc is net making very good use Of his
eyes lie ignores q Thousand matters OF in

Of nothing but our hotels.
The elder Dickens, the original and only
genuine Boz, with all hisprcjuA;ccs, paid
US the neatcst compliment tina. ever fell

several oil oyr cities, he said 10 an American

hope Of lettering their condition, and they
made no effort to rise.
One does not have far to go for an eypla-
nation. The judicious protection extended
TO our industries has enabled our working
men to live in comfort and maintain their
self-respect and independence. Under the
free trade system of England they would
soon plunge into the mire Of poverty. They
would soon be as hopeless and helpless as
the workingmen of London and Manchester.
AL ambition would be crushed out, and
they would turn their backs upon the refine
ments Of civilization, and become british as
Wellas thoroughly wretched This speaks well
for what Henry Clay called the American
system. OF course, in certain sense, there
are common people among US, and they will
always be here, bat the wholesale brutaliza-
ton of the wage-worker Of Europe has not
yet been attempted on this side of the waters
and il is not likely that our people will ever
voluntarily saddle themselves with a system
which must inevitably pauperize and starve
all whose lot in life requires them to work
for living. So long as we adhere to our
present policy we shall merit the good opin-
ions Of the Messrs. Dickens concerning our
people and our hotels, and various other
matters also.

II is admitted in Texas that the collapse
Of the southern California immigration
boom has materially helped the lone star
state.
Under the circumstances limited at, there
is every reason Why the south Atlantic states
should profit by the rehux tide of migration.
Thousands Of people have been deluded by
the advertisements of the real estate men
and railroad agents, and they have invested
their all in land where there was nothing
70 attract them but the climate.
Down in this region there is something
besides the climate to attract attention. We
have fertile soil, an abundance Of miner
ais, aud all that sort Of thing. In short,
there is everything here to attract immi-
grants, bat our policy has always been to let
Tho natural advantages Of the country draw
people instead Of reaching ont for them.
1t is probable that our policy viii turn out
best after all. Discontinued people who
are looking for climate may go to Califor-
mia, but they wiz find in a very short time
that they cannot live ON the atmosphere.
In this favored region they viii find that
they can work out doors every day in the
year. This in itself win be enough to at
tract the victims Of the Billiards in the
northwest, In the course of time the

The Republican Internal Revenue Laws.
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette prints
the following paragraph
The ATLANTA CONSTITUTION argues well in fnyor
OF the removal of unnecessary internal taxes hut it
need not hold up the moonshiuers us prosecuted
saints, Il is not in the cause of these outlaws that
the removal tthe whisky tax is best urged. Tho
Macon Ca Telegraph hits them OFT well when it
says "a mooushiuer is onaraliy follow who makes
mean whisky with n rifle hy his side, while lis wife

just why the Commercial Gazette should
take pleasure in TINS CONSTITUTIONS
arguments in favor OF the repeal OF the
internal revenue system we do not know.
The infamous affair was organized and put
in operation by the republican party. and
that party, when it had the power, steadily
refused TO repeal It.
We should think that the organ of a party
which put the iufamy in operation and
nUrsed IL for years after the war ought to
rush to its defense, These emergency taxes
had served their purpose before the republi-
can party went out OF power, and Yet that
party never lifted its hand to repeal them.
As for the remark which The Commercial
Gazette quotes from the Macon Telegraph,
all that need be said is that it has no bear
ing whatever on the matter under discus
sion, and in that ii runs parallel with pretty
much everything that tho Telegraph has
said ON the subject.
THE CONSTITUTION has never. in any
shape OF form, attempted 20 create sympa-
thy for the men who Violate the law, but to
the man who loves liberty, and Who has a
particle Of patriotism in his heart. their sit
uation is not without it's pathetic side.
