Very Valuable Old valisa.

Steele of Oklahoma, at the Grand Pacific,
pointing to black leather bag with which the
porter had Just started for the governors room
says the Chicago Post. The "bag''-as the
English tourists call valise-was not hand
some. Originally black, the gloss and polish
had been worn off or knocked off by violent
contact with many railway car seat and many

Prince George Mixed His Prayer.

A good story is current in London says the
New York Recorder, concerning Prince George
of Wales, who was recently in command of the
British cruiser Thrush, belonging to the North
Atlantic squadron. IL was the princes duty as
commander of the vessel to read prayers to the
assembled crew every Sunday morning. his
secretary reading the lessons
One day brother officer ventured to suggest
at the mess-teble that the captain would do
well to study the prayers little more.
why, l read em every Sunday" was the
princes astonished reply.
'Yes, sir; but you do not read them quite cor
rectly." answered the officer.
"Idon't" exclaimed the prince.
mot quite, sir. You invariably say: we
have done those things which we ought to have
done, and we have have left undone those
things which we ought not to have done OF
course, it is very fattering to us all and the
ships company, but"
The speaker got no further, for his remarks
were drowned in roar of laughter. led by the
prince himself.

Names and N.cknames.

The Youths Companion printed some time
ago an article explaining the origin of such
queer-sounding names as Sitting Bull. Kicking
Bear and the like But oddities of this sort are
not confined to Indians. nor even to so-called
uncivilized people. In Mr.. Lowers treatise on
English Surnames" we read many statements
like the following:
Tyrwhitt. in his edition of Chaucer, says that
in Chaucer's time the use of surnames was
probably not fully established among the lower
/ class OF people; whereupon later editor
marks that even now, in the nineteenth
century such names are not fully established
in some parts OF England.
Very few Of the miners Of Staffordshire bear
the names of their fathers. The editor knows
a pig dealer whose fathers name was johnson,
but tie people call him Pigman. and Pigman he
calls himself, The name may now be seen over
the door OF a public house which this man keeps
in Staffordshire."
Among the colliers it is common for the same
man TO have, without any sinister intent on, a
double set Of names, as John Smith and Thomas
Jones; but II must not be imagined that they
are meant for everyday use. They are a kind
OF best Names which, ike Sunday clothes, are
brought out only on special occasions. as at
christenings and marriages.
For ordinary purposes they use no appellative
except nickname-Nosey, Soaker, or some
thing equally elegant; and this nickname is
employed, not by their neghbors alone. but by
tAeir wives and children, and even by them
selves correspondent OF Knights Quarterly
Magazine says:
'Iknow an apothecary In the colleries who, as
matter OF decorum always entered the real
names OF his patients in his books; that is, when
he could ascertain them. But they stood th-re
only for ornament; for use he found it necessary
to append the sobriquet, which he did with true
medical formaty, as for instance, Thomas
Williams, Uul0O dict. Old Puff
A story is told of an attorneys clerk who
was employed 10 serve q process on one of
these oddly-named persons, whose real name
was entered in the instrument with legal ac-
curacy. After much vain inquiry the clerk was
on the point of abandoning his search when
young woman kindly volunteered to assist
him.

The bull-head was shaken in token of ignor-
ance Lay-abed, Stumpy, Cowskin, Spindle

into brown study. Suddenly her eyes bright
ened, and slapping one of her companions on
the shoulder, she exclaimed triumphantly:
Dash my wig whoy, he means moy feyther!A
and then turning to the lawyers clerk she ad-

Mr. Lower says that there were lately living
| in a small town in Kent fifteen persons whose
| hereditary name was Hall, but who, for the sake
OF distinction, bore the elegant designations of

The Desenseiess Part Of the Coast

The Defenseless Part Of the Coast
The MORNING NEWS some time ago called
attention TO that part OF Gen. o. o. How
ards report which refers 70 the harbor of
Savannah aud the necessity for erecting
Notifications at Tybee. He is the COM
mander of the department Of the Atlantic
and is taking a great deal Of interest in
coast fortihcations. He thinks that Tybee
roads and Port Royal sound should be de-
Tended by works on Hilton Head and Tybee,
Parry and St. Helena sounds.
1t is worthy Of notice that although pro-
vision to some extent has been made for de-
Tending the coast from Portland to Norfolk.
the seaboard from Fortress Monroe TO Key
West is defenseless. The Notifications
board Of 1885 recommended an expenditure
of $500, 500 for Key West, s2.24S. 900 for
Savannah. e.. 2.244. 500 for Charleston.
81, ,942, 900 for Wilmington and $685.. 900 for
Cumberland sound. The present congress
ought to do something toward carrying out
these recommendations.
A Washington writer in letter to the
New York Sun says: "If we look
at the Bermudas, where England has
a strongly fortified naval station
and rendezvous, we find that the distance
thence to Wilmington is GA miles; to
Charleston. 772 miles; to Savannah, SS4
miles; to st. Augustine, 500 miles. North
Of Wilmington the distance from the Ber-
mudas TO the coast Of North Carolina even
diminishes. Keeping in view the high speed
now given to war vessels, it is evident that
hostile squadron. secretly assembling at
the Bermudas, which are connected by
telegraph with Halifax but by no direct
cable with the United States, could appear
off our South Atlantic ports after a COM
paratively short run. Coaling at the Be7-
mudas, it would have an ample supply left
for operations on our coast. It must be
kept in mind that we really are not separ-
ated by the broad ocean from the nearest
possible European enemy. but only by the
few hundred miles intervening between our
ports and such stations as Halifax and the
Bermudas. or the various West India islands
in foreign possession. The recommenda-
ton of Gen. Howard in regard to fortify-
ing the coasts Of the Carolinas, Georgia and
Florida is therefore based on palpable facts. "
There is no prospect of war between this
country and q European power. but who
can say that there will not be such war in
the near futurel We have now pending a
troublesome question with England, and
only recently we had a talk with Italy that
was warllke. And our relations with Chile
are not altogether friendly. We may be-
come involved in war at any time, and
the nation with which we have a quarrel
will not wait for us to fortify our coast.
The time to do the fortifying is now. And
the South Atlantic coast is entitled to some
consideration. 1t is hardly fair that all the
money for Notifications should be spent
upon the North Atlantic coast.

Ready to Repe1 an Attack.

In the New York Times the other day
MIR. Mills was reported as referring to
Judge Crisp as a protection democart."
Judge Crisp is a tariff reformer. If we are
not mistaken he was not in harmony with
the late Samuel ]. Randall on the tariff
question.
Judge Crisp was asked by q correspondent
whether or not he proposed to reply
to the attack of Mr.. Mills. He
said: 1T seems impossible that Mr. Mills
has made such a declaration. 1t would be
hasty in me, therefore, to assume that he
has been correctly reported. l will give
him a reasonable time-say three or four
days-in which to deny the statement which
has been credited to him. If after that
lapse of time there is no denial OF the
accuracy of the interview l shall freely
give the public my views of the reported
utterance."
This looks very much as if there would be
some newspaper talk between Judge Crisp
and Mr.. Mills, and if there should be Mr..
Mills will have cause to regret that he was
the aggressor. In a discussion of the kind
which Mr.. Mills has invited, or any other
bILQ, Uuso OIlSp 10 h0lA t1DAo W AdhS Sni =
of himself. He has a record on the tariff as
we'll as Mr.. Mills, and he will be able to show
that Mr. Mills has not done him justice.
This charge which Mr.. Mills is reported
to have made against Judge Crisp shows
that he has a hasty temper and a faulty
| judgment-two things which unfit him, in
a measure, for the Office of speaker. In
deed, they constitute the basis OF the oppo-
sition to him for that position. His friend:
contend that he will not exhibit these fault:
if placed in position of great responsibility
| But are they not mistakena II he cannot
control his temper and exercise good judg-
ment in a contest for the speakership would
he be likely to do SO in discharging th'
duties of that Office?
1t may be that he was not correctly re
ported in the Times. The chances are, how
ever, that he was. That paper is givin,
him a strong support. 1t is the chic
medium through which he reaches the pub
lie in the speakership contest. If no correc
tion ia made in that paper. Mr.. Mills vii
