Something in a Name.

Many a man has to thank his sterling patronymie for his posi- tion in life, and numerous lasses with charming Christian and sur names have found themselves at the altar sooner than would have been the case had they possessed less attractive appellations. If two men of equal attainments- one called, say John Gurney and the other Acts Apostles Tong Jan actual name) apply for the same situation, can it be doubted which of the pair would be successfuls
 Phyllis is my only joy" sang the poet. But substitute Betsy Jane" for Phyllis, and what a change comes over the line. If, instead of Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?n the words had been "Prince Albert Daniel, wherefore art thou, Prince Albert Daniel?" the poet,cal aspect of the line would have been entirely lost, and yet the question might well be considered a pertinent one, as the latter is a genuine Christian name and duly registered.
 That there is something in a name must, therefore, be admit ted. Whether that indefinite quantity has affected (for good or eviD the persons and places re- ferred to the following paragraphs it is impossible to say. The names have been gathered from various sources. They are not, as might be imagined, the coinage of the writer's brain, but are actual names now or heretofore in actual use.
 Of the names of people the fol- lowing is curious list: Mir. Rot tengoose, Mir. Honeybim, Mir. Caullfower, Mir. Vittels, MT. Swine, Mir. Fever, MT. Deadhorse. These are all, according to Mir. Hollingshead, genuine names. Another gentleman, unpleasantly named .'Bugg," converted himself into "Norfolk Howard" and, in a like manner a Mir. Physick an- nounced in daily paper that he intended-doubtless because he was unable to find a lady willing to take him-to adopt another and more euphonious appellation.
 "Mr. Hacker Bodily" who would seem, from the sound of his name, to be a kind of Greenacre; Harrison Wake Sober" whose appellation reads like hint from a friendly policeman; "Owen Tickle Agar" whose cognomen appears like a rude request; "Count de Wints," ''Trew Jegon,' and "Jehu Horrocks" are among the strange names the writer has observed.-Tid-B Bits.

Interesting Statistics.

Taking the estimate of the de- partment of agriculture given in its last report as correct state ment of the number of domestic animals in the United States the bases of some curious calculations are presented. According to the estimate of the department, the total number of horses in the nation is only 13,073,963 or one horse for about every five persons. Estimating the ground covered by each horse as being nine feet in length by four feet in width-a liberal allowance-all the horses in the nation could be placed on a piece of ground five miles long by four miles wide, with an abund- ance of room left over after each had been provided for to build houses to accommodate the herders and their families. With milk COWS, oxen and other cattle, but three times the amount of land needed for stabling the horses would be required, while as the total number of the last class of animals is A, 234,77 head they would come very near being head for each man woman and child in the United States in case a communistic divvy was to be de- clared. Allowing that the 43, 3,544,- 755 head of sheep, which accord ing to the report of the United States possesses, to occupy the same space as do the 43,505, ,025 head of swine, both the swine and wool bearers could be put on the same tract of land given the hor- ses, while the entire mass of cattle horses, sheep and swine could be crowded into space twelve miles long by ten miles wide with plenty of room to spare. In other words all the cattle, horses, sheep and swine in the United States could be placed on many private range west of the Missouri, without any particular crowding. Estimating the average weight of each head of cattle when dressed to be six hundred pounds, if all were killed there would be only 442 pounds of beef to each man, woman and child in the Union, and if produc- ton were stopped absolutely, in three years beef would become a novelty, and in ten years a tradi- tion, while even a shorter period would be required to bring around a similar condition of affairs with regards to bacon and mutton.- Hoof and Horn.

The Wall of the "Tendcrfoot..

 Written for the Press by NJ. A. Gates.I o Boss of the mining scheme what can you offer
 To brace up a tenderfoot's faith in the game; Where he staked every dollar he had in his coffer,
 And patiently waits for a boom on the
 claim? Tidings from Gilead bear they no solace? Bring they no balm for the soul? Are we no nearer the end of the struggle? See we no nearer the goal? Oh where is the gold that shines as the
 noonday?
 Where is the silver that gleams us the star? Have the bright apples that blushed in the
 sunrise
 All crumbled to ashes and scattered afar? See we no longer tho smoke of the smelter? Hear we the din of the stamp-mill no
 more? Rings out no sharper the clink of the chisel Drilling the granite in quest of the ore? Hear we no rumble of carts in the tunnel Deep in the mountain, dark, dismal and
 cold? Comes forth no quartz bearing three hundred
 ounces?
 No carloads of gravel all glittering with
 gold? Must the hope of vast wealth forever be
 banished?
 How fleet are the years. How we're all
 growing old Dreams of great riches, how soon are they
 vanished!
 How sorely we need few ounces of gold

months at time, as parties may desire,

Another system of cooperation which
we have been carrying on, on a small
scale, is now fully developed into mend
ing department. Hereafter Mrs. II. y.
Cochran, from Lincoln, H., will he ar
headquarters from a. IN. to 6 p. IN. with
thimble, needle, thread and scissors, ready
to sew ON a missing button or string
at a moments notice. Mrs. Cochran
comes from University town where
she had been supplying the students with

derstands the needs of young men away
from home. Busy housekeepers who have
not the time to attend to their family
mending will find it convenience so send
their mending where it will be neatly
done.
In getting our magazines ready for bind
ing we find that we need from January to
November 1850, June to December 1882 and
from January to November 1888 to COM
plete the volumes of Harper's Magazines.
If anyone having these numbers to spare
will bring them to our headquarters, we
will willingly pay reasonable price for
them.
We are under obligations to NJ. p.

BUILDINGS AND DEMAND,

Brick work has been completed on the
Cummings block on South Market street.
The work has been pushed from the time
excavations were made until the finish,
there being no stops except due to bliz-
yards. The result was the last brick in
place just pefore the last cold snap came
along. The block is one Of the neatest iu
the city and the design is complimented
very highly by those who have made the
subject study.
The Rogers building adjoining that of
Steinhauser- Merkle on the south, has
reached the third story. 1t will go up rap
idly as soon as there is any let up on the
blizzard.
The cold weather has rendered it impos-
sible for any work ON buildings Some
blocks, with little more plastering, will
be ready for use.
The Sedgwick, with a few days of aver
age Kansas winter weather, will be COM
pleted
The Fletcher is also nearly completed.
The Smith Skinner block on North Mar
ket is receiving its finishing touches.
One thing that seems quite encouraging
to builders is that they find such de-
mand for business and Office rooms As
was announced some months ago, bank
has been patiently waiting the corner room
on Main and Second streets on the first
floor of the Fletcher block. The calls for
the other rooms has given Mr.. Fletcher the
assurance that he will get good profit out
of his magnificent block.
The demand for all the new buildings in
the city is considered a favorable sign
concerning the condition Of business,

SOON IN NEW QUARTERS.

The city clerks office, as well as that OF
the city treasurer and surveyor. will be
removed in few days to the Polk build
ing, on West Douglas avenue. The par.
ties who are about to move are very any
iOrs for the change, as the present quar-
tiers are very disagTeeable
The second story of the city building
will be fitted up for the ''laddies" and a
better system of ventilation will be adopt
ed and put in. The stencil from the first
floor goes to the second, caus-
ing the trouble. When the
improvements are made it is thought
it will be quite desirable quarters for the
members of Hose Company No. l.
The police Judge VIII remain AT the city
building, where it is quite conrenient TO
handle those who are introduced TO his
honor, aS the calabooSe is not lar away.
He is having his Office fixed up quite nice

ing more ease and comfort TO the Judge, as
he holds the balance OF justice
