CHANGES OF NAME
Great Men Who Are Known by Names
Not Originally Given Them.


Not Originally Given Them.
I notice in a recent publication the re-
vival of the old story Of the change young
John Rowland made in his name and
fortune when he substituted his Rowland
with Stanley, and dropped John for
Henry NJ, being now known to the
world as the great African explorer, saws
writer III the st. Louis Republic. This
reminds me that several of the great men
known to science, literature, war and art
were originally known by names almost
wholly unknown to the world at large.
Henry Wilson, Nice-President under
Grant, was christened as Henry Goliath,
and was known by that name until after
the end of his nineteenth year
By curious coincidence L. S. Grant,
who was President at the time Wilson
was Vice, as above mentioned, was also a
hero with changed name. Prior to
young Grants eighteenth birthday "U.
5. Grant was term unknown even in
the embryo Generals family. "H. u.
Grant" would sound odd if written on the
pages OF history, but, in fact, would be
perfectly proper. The great General was
christened Hiram Ulysses Grant, and by
the name of Hiram, or Hi" was known
to all his school fellows.
L. l.. Harmer, an ex-member of Con-
gress, is responsible for ~. S." Grant
being thrust upon the world. It came
about in this way: When the name of the
aspiring young man was sent in as a can
didate to West Point, by some oversight
on the part of Mr.. Harmer, it was sent as
~. s." in place of HI u" Grant. "U.
s." Grant was appointed. When he
graduated in 184S his commission and
diploma were both made out to ~. So
Grant; therefore he was forced to ccept
the inevitable.
jules Grevy, so well-known as the late
President of the French Republic, is
neither Jules" nor "Grevy,n but Judith
Francois Paul Greviot.
Frank Leslie was plain Henry Carter
until he was u years old, adopting the
new name on his arrival in America

Income of the Prince of Wales.

The Prince of Wales budget consists
of fl00, 900 year from the Government
civil list and the revenue of the Duchy of
Cornwall, amounting to from G3S, 900 to
G40, 900 a year. The Princess on her mar
riage received very small dowry from
her father, the poor King of Denmark,
and she would have been positively poor
in her own right had not Parliament
voted her e30,000 a year. Each of her
children, and there are five of them, re-
ceives from the country an annual in
come of $4,000. Multiplying these sums
by five to get them into dollars. we find
that the revenue of the family is Just
about Sl,000,000 year. This ought to
keep even prince, but it doesn't. Every
few years Wales debts must be paid off
! by the Government or by his mother
usually by the former.
He keeps up three residences-Marl-
borough House in London, Sandringham
in Norfolk County, and Abergelde in
Scotland. These three residences entail
the presence of an army Of retainers-
care-takers, coachmen and grooms, keep
ers, beaters, glllies, gardeners and hang
ers-on. Independently of these, the
household of the Prince consists necessa-
rily OF large number of functionaries
and officials, with whom he is bound to
surround himself. He has comptroller,
a treasurer, three chamberlains, four
equerries in chief and six others who are
supplementary, private secretary, IL
brarian, superintendent of the house
hold with two assistants, house and
! three honorary chaplains, three house
and five honorary doctors, three surgeons
and substitute, and a dentist with o
yearly appointment ''In point of fact,'
says the London correspondent of the
New York Sun, 1.-The household of the
Prince Of Wales is on the same footing as
that of a sovereign, with the difference
that his civil list is inferior to every reign
ing monarch, with the exception of the
King Of Greece.

During ancient times buttons were far
from being as universally used as they
are now. Clasps, hooks and eyes, or
things made of wood and resembling in
principle our pressed goods, were the
articles most generally used in fastening
the two edges of garments, and with
these springs people of those days had to
be content. Now, however, buttons are
made of various materials Metals. glass.
porcelain, horn, bone, India rubber,
mother-of-pearl, wood, are but a small
part of the substances which have been
pressed into this service.

TO hrin under taxation the property Of

and the corporations The third amend
ment proposes 10 equaize the system Of
taxation now in vogue, aud to introduce
new methods, among which is q tax on

ton ofthot body That's if the amend
ment is passed, the Legislature will have
