The Hum Snecies.

(Fron the New York TimeSl
The year 1897 ought to gain some sort
of new distinction as bug year. The
pest of the gypsy moth in Massachusetts
has grown so serious that the State is
talking of expending some hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars on a scheme for the
determination of that insect, a few speci
mems of which were originally imported
by a naturalist for some experimental
purposes. The bugs from Bombay which
caused dismay and profanity in South street
short time ago were useful as a news
paper topic, and row staid Philadelphia is
inflicted with new variety Of bug,
brought in cargo of bones from South
America Both the stories told OF this In

posite newspaper pictures Of him lead Us
to suspect, however, that he belongs TO the
same family of insects as our old acquaint-
ance the humbug.

En- nwiscuIia.

Somebody has been '.projickin'," as
Uncle Edinburgh would say, with the name
of Old England. The idea IS that England
is about old enough to have her nasie
changed, and the happy suggestion is made
that the initial letters of all Great Britain
and her colonies be combined; and out Of
the ashes of this combination phoenix
like. is raked the cognomen Enwiscolla
Enwiscoiia! It sounds like Dean Swift
OF the charming grotesquerie OF the Eliza
bethan age, or the later fantasies of
Alice in Wonderland" 1t might start
some sort of renaissance the Enwiscolian
Era. How does that sound?
Still another idea $ that the United King
dom be called Wiseland, name con.
structeG on similar basis, being composed
in part Of the four initial letters of England,
Ireland, Scotland and Wales Englend
always has posed as the seat OF Wis
dom. SO this is not quite so Improbable.
But those who make these filliputian plans
forget that If there is one thing VIII CHI
England does worship and adore. it is
tradition, and the spoils that cling thereto;
and one OF the most traditional OF tradi-
tions Is the name. Think of a country
which still retains the names whitechapel,
Mayfair. PiccaaiIIy, walham Green, shore-
ditch, and roads of alt kinds, in the
middle of her metropolis, taking kindly to
the idea Of a change OF name at her age!

CAPITOL NEWS AND GOSSIP.

There was dark and somber cloud on

for the War Department was sent to the
Senate Dan Grosvenor is brother OF
Gen. Grosvenor, the eloquent member from
the Athens. Ohio, district, and chief stat
istician and promoter during the McKin-
ley campaign. For upward OF quarter
of a century Dan had served his party
ioyally and went home to Ohio regularly
to vote. When Logan Carlisle assumed
the scepter of powerin the Treasury Daniel
was q chief of division.
II want your place for as good & Demo
crat as you are q Republican,, said Logan
to Daniel one day.
You can have my resignation re-
torted Dan, '.but l want to tell you, you
will have to go long way to find any
Democrat as loyal to his party as l am
70 mine" and thereupon Daniel resigned,
and Democrat was appointed later on
and put under the classified service. Then
Dan moved over into Maryland and de-
voted his time to raising garden truck and
chickens. His vote was needed there
more than IN Ohio, aud he gave up his
political allegiance TO the Republicans OF
the Buckeye State.
So 1t happened that when this appoint
ment was made, Senator Wellington wanted
to know what it meant, and he instituted
q hurried hut successful inquiry. 1t APP

give Grosvenor good place, on account
