The Apache Criterion of vv;ves

The plural wife system prevails at
San Carlos, where it is regarded by
Apache bucks as profitable for the rea,
son that wives are tireless toilers. They
chop wood, carry water, pack hay, herd
stock, build wickiups, cook, and in fact
do all the labor calculated to contribute
to the necessity and comfort of tn
camp. Apache women are merchanta
ble-are bought and Sold A bucks
wealth is estimated, in part, by the
number of his wives. The value of a
wife is calculated by the weight she can
carry; therefore those having defective
spines and unable to pack a sack of
flour, or bundle of hay, or an eighth of
cord of wood and a pappoose at the
same time, are not regarded as valua-
BILE property, and are less appreciated
by their masters than a pony or burro

We were struck recently upon exam
lining the patent side of strongly repub-
Hcan newspaper, to find that it was it,
tensely and is rabidly democratic, filled
with articles denouncing the Mckinley
bill, the Force" bill and everything
else savoring of republicanism. This was
3 Colored newspaper and the editor a
solid republican, but he was unwittingly
and unnecessarily allowing himself and
his paper to be used as vehicle for the
dissemination of the most pernicious and
venomous democratic literature. We
would advise our contemporary to get
patent republican matter, and not allow
himself to be used in such way.

ENGLISH SURNAMES.

Orthography being such an elementa.
ry portion of peoples educat ton it
would naturally be considered that anv
thing tending to retard the tyro in its
attainment would be carefully avoided,
especially as regards the names of friends
and acquaintances with whom the said
tyro may have to associate. 1t is an oft
repeated accusation against our mother
tongue that spelling can not
be called a. matter of rule, for
even in commonplace grammar 'ough''
has half dozen sounds, separate and
distinct; but when we come to surnames
confusion becomes worse COMPOUNDED.
Where would one find an average in.
tellect who would pronounce Aber-
gaVenny Abergenny, and why should
the ''classic race Of the world belle its
letters and be called "Darby?' Even
now Mr.. Dillwyn's most ardent admirers
have scarcely learned to call him "Dil.
lon,' and it will require sweeping re-
form before Brougham will have be-
come, as it should be, Broom 1t is a
question why the scions of noble houses
should be so careful as 10 the pronuncia-
ton OF their names, but where is the
Cholmondely or arjoribanks who is sat-
lshed with any thing longer than the
clipped Marsh banks and 'Chumley?"
How the Colquhouns and Wemysses ar
rived at "Cahoon" and "Weems'' will be
a riddle to photographers for ages to come.
OF course, large number of British
houses claim Norman descent, and natur-
ally demand pure French pronuncia-
ton. So the 'Beauclercs" and evil
'loughby de Eresbys'' become in polite
circles 'Willoughby de Erebys' and
"Beauclarcs;;'' but to account for 'Wah-
legrave" being ''Walgrave,'' st. john
"sinjih'' or ''St Leger" ''Silleger' is a
harder matter. A large number of our
we'll known names change their o's into
us, such as "Conyngham," Monsoon
and ''Ponsonby," while 'Blount" be-
comes Blunt" and ''Duchesne'' be-
comes "Duncane Most of our sur
names beginning with Beau" alter
their pronunciation considerably; for in
stance de Beauvoir" changes to DE
iBeever," and the famous ''Beauchamps''
are dill b06C0amS.
Indeed, to take the peerage through,
those names which spell themselves are
the exception, and the intellect is stun
ned to find that ''Charteris," "Glamis."
''Bethune," ."Geoghegan" and sRuth-
ven" are respectively Charters
CLANS, ''Beeton," sGagan" and
"Riven.' And reason totters on her
throne when society demands that est
Clark"i is Sinclair, and Cover ''Gore. .
However, the average Englishman has
now got so used to the peculiarities of
arlstocratic patronymics that their mis-
spelling and REORGANIZATION is like a ]
second nature. and he would be ready to
knock down the first man who contend
ed that his favorite diarist was Samuel
Pepys instead OF Samuel Peeps.
