Our professed genealogists have found
out that it is far easier to establish con
nectiOu with some foreign family OF re
pute and TO appropriate their honors and
insignia than TO manufacture outright,
Thus our MugginS has been successfully
spliced on to the English family of DE
Mogyn, our Taylors to Tayleurcs, our
Seamers to Seymours and st. Maurs, and
our Mullins to De Moulins, In general
these transformations and affiliations have
been Effected without exciting comment or
criticism, but not always, An American
family bearing name famous in English
history and exalted in one branch by Il
ducal title concluded that similarity of
surname gave them an equal right to the
heraldic belongings Of the family, and as
Sumed the escutcheon, supporters and all.
II their pride had been satisfied with tho
display of the insignia on their carriage
panels no one would have objected. but
when it tempted them to assert publicly
their right to the ducal title, which was
then in abeyance, it aroused the curiosity
OF some prowhng gcnealOgi i5ts--those posts
of sOclety-who SET about inquiries which,
they asserted, proved t8at the American
faulty was only Of yeoman origin and OF
no possible connection with the ducal
house. Thus did their yaulung ambition
Oyerleap ITSELF, and to avoid ridicule they
were obliged to suppress a magnificent
table service Of china and silver, on which
they had displayed, at q considerable cN-
peuse, the ducal crest and coronct.-Johu
