Tho origin of relton,s Nnme.

The death of Samuel NJ. FELTON, recalls
the early history of this town. as IL takes
its name from that famous business
man
During the session of the Legislature
OF 1861, when FELTON, was a village of
probably dozen families, but with every
prospect of growing, meeting was held
at the store of r, w Reynolds g. Bro.
for the purpose of petitioning the Legis.
ture for town charter, and also select
ing name for the village. Several
names were proposed, as for instance.
Cliftonville, Frederick Station, Diamond
City, etc, but none of them could be
agreed upon. In the meantime. an old
engineer on the steamboat S. NJ. FELTON,.
then farmer in the vicinity, happened
in the store with his basket Of eggs and
said II they could not agree to any of the
names alieldy offered, he would give
them one, and suggested FELTON,, stating
that he knew Mr.. FELTON, to be a good
liberal hearted gentleman, aud that he
might make the town a present. The
name was promptly adopted, and time
proves that Mr.. Simmons, the farmer who
suggested FELTON,, was not mistaken. as
Mr.. FELTON, always seemed to take an in
terest in his namesake. and contributed
literally for the building Of its church
and town hall-Felton Progress

4 vretchednese ne weather % inspect
the snrirons Of the city, which form one
of its most attractive features. IF you
happen to go to Washington when Har.
rison is inaugurated, and the weather,
by some strange freak, happens to be
fine, you cannot pass a more pleasant
half day than by driving out to the Ma
tional Soldiers home. You can go there
by street car, but the drive is such
magnificent one that it is worth a great
deal more than the very reasonable fare.
-
The Soldiers home is about three miles
north of the Capitol. The grounds,
which include 500 acres, have for the
most part been left in their natural state.
But few trees have been RACED to the
earth, and in the autumn the old veterans
gather hazel and walnuts within few
hundred yards of the home The only
improvements that have been made on
nature are seven miles of drives of sur
passing beauty, and several glistening
miniature lakes, upon the bosom of which
ride several dignified swans. The main
building of the home is of white marble,
and is Norman in design. 1t measures
200 feet in front, and there are usually
800 veterans accommodated in it. In
the rear is a spacious wing, which
j. used as a mess room. Every
possible comfort, even luxury, is pro-
vided for the occupants, and they are
only required in turn to obey few sim
pie rules, such as rising at Z, retiring at
10, TO be on hand when the roll is called.
and not to absent themselves from the
grounds without leave.
-
The home contains a large and well
selected Library, and some of the in
mates, especially few who have been
there for many years, have grown pro-
digiously learned. The writer was in
Washington last summer, and while
strolling along one Of the shaded roads
suddenly came upon an old soldier,
whose face had been SCARED by the con
tiicts Of two wars, sitting on a log and
mtently reading a rather pretentious
looking volume. Upon being asked what
book interested him so deeply he pointed
to the title on the back-Homerl And
he proceeded to give SO clear and sharp
an analysis of certain passages of the
