American Newspapers Printed in Foreign

American Newspapers PrlhOeu III NVIolSh
Languages.
From the New York Sun.
There are 1900 daily and $4,000 weekly
papers published in the United States,
and twenty-three different languages,
other than English, are represented In
the newspaper press of this country
There is only one newspaper published
in the Russian language in the United
States. There are five newspapers, all
weekly, in the Portuguese language. Ot
these three are in California and two
are in Massachusetts,, at New Bedford
and at Boston. There are four Gally
newspapers in the Polish language, pub
lished at Chicago, Buffalo, Milwaukee and
Baltimore. Besides these there are seven
weekly Polish papers at Chicago, six in
Pennsylvania, one at Cleveland, one at
Toledo, and three at Detroit. Most Of
the periodicals in the Spanish language
are trade papers, but there is daily
paper in New York, and at Key West is
another. There are four Spanish papers
in Arizona and twelve in New Mexico.
One Armenian paper is published in
the city Of New York, and there are two
Chinese weekly papers in San Francisco
Five newspapers are published in the
French language, two in the mine
regions Of Michigan and one each in
Illinois, Minnesota and New York.
There are two daily Bohemian papers in
New York, two at Chicago, and one at
Cleveland. There are three Danish
papers in Chicago, one in Omaha, one in
Racine, Wis, and one in Portland, Ore.
The Danish papers are, almost ex-
clusively, designed for circulation among
the farmers, and few OF them have any
city circulation, though there is one
Danish paper published in New York.
The indisposition Of the French to &C
quire any other language must account
for the large number OF French papers
published throughout the Union, ever
where the French population is inconsid
erable. There are French daily papers

Origin of the Names Of Days and Months.
From the Globe Democrat
The names of our months and OF the
days Of the week commemorate religions
that are no longer .practiced, and nations
that ages ago ceased to exist. January
was 80 called from Janus, the Roman
deity, who presided over all gates, doors
and openings, and to whom therefore
the first month of the year was sacred.
The name February comes from Latin
word, signifying to purify, because in
that month the annual lustrBtions or
publications were performed. March is
from Mars, the god Of war, because this
month was the most favorable in the
south Of Europe for beginning military
operations. April was from Latin word,
signifying to open, as at this time the
flowers, trees and plants showed signs
of life. May from Maia, the daughter OF
Atlas, and mother Of Mercury, the
brightest Of the PleiadeS and reverenCed
as the goddess of flowers. June is from
Juno, the patroness OF marriage and the
family, and this month was the most
popular marriage month among both
Greeks and Romans. July was named
in honor uf julius Caesar, and August
for Augustus, his successor. September,
October, November and December were
the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth
months, as their Latin names signify, the
Roman year originally beginning with
March, but when January and February
were added these months became the
ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth, the
names being retained, however even
after they had lost their significance.
The names of the week days, though
partly borrowed from another source,
are no less significant. Sunday was the
day of the sun, on which the Druida
worshiped the god Of light; Monday was
the Moon's-day; Tuesday the day sacred
to Tuves, a Saxon deity; Wednesday was
the day Of Wooden or Wotan, the Scan
dinavian Jupiter; Thursday was the day
Of Thor, the thunderer; Friday the day
of Frea, the Scandinavian Venus, and
Saturday was sacred to Saturn. OF all
names of our language few convey more
historical, NEUROLOGICAL and Legendary
lore than the names of the months and
days.

I saw cloudlet gather in the sky,
And, moving swiftly, grow to wondrous size /;
And, watching 1t with ever curious eyes

And ever toward the mighty ocean trend;
And nothing told me what would be the end,
Nor where was pent the strong resistless

And saw expand the gauzy web so fine
And marveled at the patience, half divine,

A white House veteran.

lngtOn E0SL says
"The very oldest in point Of service,
and Of years as well, 10 Capt. Thomas
Pendel, who marks with a star in his
memory the Sd day Of November, 1864,
when he was transferred from the
Metropolitan police force, or rather was
detailed, for special duty at the White
House. Those we're troublous days in
Washington, and the tired, worried,
harassed man who had taken upon his
broad shoulders the awful burden of
carrying a government through q civil
war was facing a future that looked
black, and his heart was heavy within
him. Il was his custom to go every
night to the War Department to discuss
matters Of grave import with his Secre-
tary Of War--matters that he could not
think over as he wanted to, when his
office and the corridors and the east
room we're filed with desperate women,
greedy men, hungry politicians, all beg
ging for something, and that something
nearly always request that meant ab-
solute ruin to his plans to grant, He
did not have a body guard about him
he was too plain man for that; but as
his friends and advisers insisted on
someone accompanying him, he would
call on a volunteer to 60 with him on
these strolls over the lawn to the War
Department 1t 50 happened that on
that evening Of the Sd OF November,
1864, he called to know who would like
to 60, and Captain Psndel responded
that he would, and he went. The very
happiest hours OF his life now are when
he gets q chance to talk over that and
the many other evenings when he &C.
compauied the President, Mr.. Lincoln,
on his trips. He did not always talk
much Captain Pendel says. He seemed
to think, think all the time, and he was
SO worried some nights that few words
seemed all that he could say. He was
great man. Mr.. Pendel always adds.
captain Pendel was bricklayer by
trade, and served his apprenticeship till
he was 2l He was born on what was
Analostan Island, in 1894, and is now 70
years old. He does not look it, for his
abundant hair is coal black, and only
little gray shows at the temples. His
grandfather was Ia the Revolutionary
war, his father in the War of 1912 and he
was himself ia the marine service Of the
Mexican war. He does not know OF @
creature living to day, outside OF his
immediate family, who bears his name.
He is married and has several charming
daughters, who played in youth with the
White House children, The little Pat
terson children, who we're there when
Andrew Johnson was President, once
gave a party that was the talk OF the
country, and Mr. Pendel's daughters
have the pretty little invitations yet, and
some of the dainty fayors that were
given each guest
"The White House children have been
Captain Pendel's especial pets, and after
he was made doorkeeper Of the White
House, which was done month after he
was detailed there, he often had charge
OF the children in their plays. The young
Lincoln's we're especially fond of him,

THE ANGELS SONG.

Joshua S. Ttylor, Hcnrico countg, ITrginm
We hear sweet chimes across the snow
That tell of times of long ago,
When Christ, the King, was born;
And though two thousand years have flown
Since first these ducet notes We're known.
They sweeter come this morn.
l es, Peace on earth, good will to men,
Are sweeter words than they were when
First sung by angel bands;
For now their soft, melOdious tones
Nlbrate throughout the various zones,
And in all goodly lands.
Two thousand years of strife and blood
Would seem enough to make men good
And yet they are not so:
Bnt every year seraphic strains
Are waited from the Syrian plains,
To ease this world Of woe
Oh. heed these strains, you men of strife
And lead and live better life.
And from your turmoil cease!
Just listen how the angels cry
OF "Glory unto God on high.
And on the earth of peace =
And you who bear lifes crushing load.
Come, rest beside the weary road.
And down your burdens fling!
For this is the transmitted morn
On which the "Prince of Peace was born
And all the angels sing.
The glorious times are Fastening on
For which the king of kings was born
Times by the bards foretold-
When Peace shall reign o er all the earth
And men be filed with joy and mirth,
And have an age of gold.
Old Father Time will soon be here
70 usher in another year,
And with it blessings bring;
Oh, as he rings the old year out.
May all mankind then raise the shout
Which now the angels sing
