THE GROUND HOG FABLE.

Yesterday was the day popularity known

An Interesting Account OF tho
Origin of These Terms.


Origin of These Terms.
Oldham Chronicle.
In earlier times the ordinary man was
simply William or John; that is to say.
he had merely Christian name with
out any kind of "handle" before it or
surname after it. Some means of dis
tinguishing one John or one William
from another John or another William
became necessary.
Mechanics derived from mans
trade or his dwelling-place, or from
some personal popularity, were tackled
on to their Christian names, and plaiu
John became John Smith.
AS yet there were no minister's" in the
land. Some John Smith accumulated
more wealth than the bulk of his fei-
lOwS-became, perhaps, landed pro-
prietOr or an employer of hired labor.
Then he began to be called in the Nor
man French of the day the ''maistre" OF
this place or that, of these workmen or
of those.
In time the ''maistre" or "maister,"
as it soon became. got tackled on before
his name. and he became Master
Smith, and his wife was Maistress
Smith. But gradually the sense of pos
session was lost sight of. and the title
was conferred upon any kind, by mere
possession of wealth or by holding some
position Of more or less consideration

A-sKATIN' ON THE EDGE.

do not know her name you see,
only know that she can skate,
And if St. Peter stood around,
A watchin' at the golden gate,
And she came up to enter there
The alabaster walls that hedge
TIL eternal city, she'd pass through
A-skatin' on the outer edge.
For she's an angel when she filings
Her lovely form across the ice,
And when around the throne she swings
She'll glide right into paradise;
Under her the ice would thaw
And melt away if I'm to jedge
From my own feelings when she comes
A-skatin' on the outer edge.
There amt no friction, not the least,
AS DER the lookin' glass she skins,
And on she goes, no tellin' how
To watch the motion OF her Iimbsi
There amt no effort, but, oh, my!
I'd sorter like the privilege
Of holdin' Of her in my arms
A-skatin' on the outer edge.
The motion of her gown just makes
A quiet swiShin in the air,
And clings about her form, and lies
In folds and tellin' outlines there.
Her furs, that make a cirelet warm.
Are like the feathers soft that fledge
The wings of swiftest birds, when she's
A-skatn' on the outer edge.

INAUGURAL BALL TICKETS.

Invitations for the festivities celebrating
the Inauguration Of Gen. Harrison have not
yet reached ST. Paul, but they have been re-
ceived in Washington. They are very ar
tis tically designed, and the workmanship is
OF the very first order. and will prove well
worth preserving. The envelope, 7la by 9l2
inches, is of heavy, rough paper, in keeping
with the cardboard contents. The envelope
flap is held by scalloped red seal. two and
one-half inches in diameter, having gilt
eagle with the customary shield IN the GER
ter. 1t contains three sheets Of copper-plate
etchlngs between covers of rough card
board with rough edges, which are fastened
together with bows of ribbon (ten colors in
alb. In the center of the 'front.' in embossed
gilt letters the words Inaugural Ball, March
9TH, 1882 On the back there is smooth
square. in the center Of which is an en-
boSsed gold eagle, with the "E Pluribus
Unum'' pennant, holding in his talons q
draped American flag.
The first page is a beautiful etching, repre-
senting in the foreground the Goddess Of Lib
erty. protecting, American Industries. in the
act of crowning seated workingman. Tow
ering above the figures. standing on mass
of rock, is al eagle, with an American flag
floating from his beak and disappearing in
the clouds. On the ground. near the figures
are the horn of plenty, sheayes of wheat,
bars of metal bags of grain, and bales of cot
ton. The view in the background is of the
river and the city, with the capitol, Washing
ton monument and White house clearly de-
fined. The view is the familiar and beauti-
full one from Arlington Heights AT the foot
of the page are the names of the executive
committee.
The second and third pages contain adj
mirable portraits of Benjamin Harrison and
Levi P. Morton, respectively. The pro-
gramme, with rough, beveled gilt edge, has
on it's face in embossed letters, in various
colors, Programme Inaugural Ball, New
Pension Building, March d. 1885," On the
back is steel plate engraving Of the
crowded ballroom, with floral decorations in
the foreground. The inside is composed Of
sixteen pages, containing in brown ink the
programme Of dances and the names of the
members of the committees which are con-
nected with the inaugural ball.
The regular admission ticket is an engraved
card with Y in the corner, with Chairman
Britton's name engraved and blank left for
the signature of the treasurer, 3. H. Warner.
The tickets are all to be numbered
The com plimentary ticket is an engraved
card, containing Inaugural Ball. New Pen

THE BALLET GIRL.
1.-THE Rounder to the Neophyte after the
opera.

What's the matter with you, boy!
Where is all that youthful joy
Once you had?
Broken UP you seem to be,
Quite hard hit it's plain to see;
Why SO sad!
Easy then. it is to guess
What should cause this dire distress
You'll allow.
I'll submit wild conjecture =
Don't jump up-I shall not lecture;
Calm that brow!
Is there not certain.maid
Who, celestially arrayed
In dress
Fairy-like. with wings and spangled,
Has your throbbing heart entangled?
Come, confess
Don't you, when you hear her name,
Feel your pulses all aflame?
Don't you now2
Don't it strike you that she's sweeter
Far than any other creature.
Come, avoWl
Don't you. when you see this girl
Find your senses in whirl?
Don't you feel
Thatyou could at once expire
Should she such a thing desire2
Come, reveal!
Yes-these things you all admit;
Ten to one, you feel that it
Would be heaven
If you could but marry her
That you might help carry her
Forty-seVen.
Forty seyen what? Why, yea1l
This delightful girl appears
Just the same
AS she did in 80
When she was love Of mine
Dear old flannel

That is the little story. but it will not pass

THE death rate in Minnesota de-
creased from LAG per LOCO in 1888 to
80 in 1887. This improvement in the
sanitary condition of the state is COM
puted to mean the saving in the four
years of 1900 lives, and the escape from
sickness of $4,000 persons. This is not
a cheerful tendency for the medical pro-
fession and drug dispensers, but is
quite endurable for those in search of a
sanitarium and health resort.

THE murder of Hon. JOHN M. CLAY
TON in Arkansas was wanton and afro
cious, and the legislature of that state
is justified in offering an unusual re-
ward for the detection and capture of
the assassins. 1t is to be hoped they
will not escape the quick retribution
their foul deed merits. The fact that
Mr.. CLAYTON was a contestant for
seat in the next congress does not miti-
gate the atrocity of the assumption that
any political party would lack abhor-
renee of the dastardly crime, or seek to
shield the murderer.

The Worlds Fair of 1892.

Edward Atkinson, the well-known writer
on political economy, writing on the subject
of the plan of the fair, says: "A1y general
idea is that either by way of example, of pic
lures, of graphic illustrations and figures
one and all combined, so far as may be, the
exhibition should show the progress of mod
ern art and industry from the prehistoric
type, or from the type of 1892, down to the
present day. For instance what a wonder
full exhibit could be made Of the progress in
the art of clothing %
Speaking of Mr.. Atkinson's suggestion, A.
c. Yates & Co., the popular clothiers in the
Ledger Building, Philadelphia, said that such
an exhibit would be highly interesting, and
would afford an opportunity to put Ameri-
can clothing in comparison with that of the
world. The American, no doubt, wears bet
ter and cheaper clothing than any ether peo-
pie. No matter how little the American
pays for his clothes, he wants some style
to them, and that is where our clothing ex-
GELS the foreign. A man who buys twelve
dollar suit will spend as much time in front
of mirror as the man who pays twenty
FIVE. We welcome such customers, whether
they be man or boy as we make all our
clothing to meet this popular demand for
tasty and good fitting clothing at a moderate
cost.-FtOM The PhiladeLbhia Item.

Our Troops in Baltimore.

The most extensive preparations are being
made to promo te the success Of the exposi-
tieh. The city is rapidly putting on its hol-
iday attire and flags and bunting already
greet the eye on every side. It was the orig
inal design to have the grand civic and trades
display on Monday reviewed by the Gov
ernor Of the State and the Mayor of the
City, and later in the week the handsome
new city postofice dedicated by President
Harrison and his cabinet. It has since been
ascertained that the President can be pres
ent with less inconvenience on the opening
day, so a change has been made in the pro.
gramme to suit, and he will participate on
Monday in the review of the grand parade
with which the weeks holiday opens In
stead Of 200 as at first expected. there will
be nearer 800 handsome floats in the line,
and the spectacle promises to be a most
gorgeous and brilliant one.
After the opening parade, probably the
greatest interest will center in the military
and naval displays to take place Thursday
and Friday, September 18th and 9Th respec-
lively, and illustrated. with as much histor-
ical accuracy as possible, the action at North
