CURIOUS SURNAMES.

They Are Spelled and Pronounced Sc
Differently that They BafHe Strangers.
photography being such an elementary
portion of peoples education, says the
London Queen, it would naturally be con-
sidered that anything tending to retard
the tyro in its attainment would be care
fully avoided, especially as regards the
names of friends and acquaintance with
whom the said tyro may have to associate.
1t is an oft-repeated accusation against
our mother tongue that spelling cannot
be called a matter OF rule" for even in
common place grammar "ough" has half
a dozen sounds, separate and distinct, but
when we come to surnames confusion be-
comes worse COMPOUNDED.
Where would one find an average intel
lect who would pronounce Abergavenny
Abergenny, and why should the classic
race'' of the world belle its letters and be
called "Darby2" Even now Mr.. Dillwyn,s
most ardent admirers have scarcely
learned to call him s'Dillon," and it will
require @ sweeping reform before
Brougham will have become as 1t should
be, Broom" 1t is o question why the
scions of noble houses should be so care
full as to the pronunciation of their
names, but whore is the Cholmondely or
Marjoribanks who is satisfied with any
thing longer than the clipped Marsh
banks" and ~"Chumley?' How the Col
quhouns and Wemysses arrived at ga
hoonn and "Weems" will be a riddle to
photographers for ages to come.
OF curse. a large number of British
houses claim Norman descent, and natur-
ally demand a pure or half pure French
pronunciation. So the "Beauclercs'' and
'sWilloughby de Eresbys" become in
polite circles "Willoughby de Erebys' and
"Beauclares;'' but to account for "Walde-
grave" being "Walgrave," Isl. john"
'Sinjin'' or "St. Leger," "Silleger" is a
harder matter. A large number of our
we'll known names change their o's into
and ..Ponsonby," while 'sBlopnt'' be-
| comes "Blunt, (" and 'Duchesnen becomes
"Ducane.n Most of our surnames be-
ginning with "Beau" alter their pronun-
citation considerably, for instance. 'tDe
Beauvoir"S changes to "De Beever," and
the famous ''Beauchamps" are all
"Beechams."
Indeed, to take the peerage through
those names which spell themselves are
the exception, and the intellect is stunned
to find that "Chateris," sGeamis, y BE
thune," 'Goeghegan'' and are
respectively "Charters" "Glams," "Bee-
ton,n and "Gagan." And rea-
son totters on her throne when society
demands that ''St. Clark is ''Sinclair, =
and COVER "Gore.n However, the av-
erage Englishman has now got so used to
the peculiarities of aristocratic patrony-
mics that their misspelling or mispronun-
citation is like a second nature, and he
would be ready to knock down the first
man who contended that his favorite
diarist was Samuel Pepys instead Of
Samuel Peeps.
