The Name "kearsarge."

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Whence comes the name "Kearsarge?'
Is it Of geographical, biographical, or
5ctisnal derivation? r. b. A.
stanton. Va.
The new battleship Kearsarge is named
after the old warship Kearsarge, and the
old Kearsarge was named after a Kear-
sarge mountain, in New Hampshire. But,
strange to say there are two Kearsarge
mountains in New Hampshire. the more
famous one near North Conway and the
other in Merrimac county. The Boston
Transcript, in referring to this fact re-
Gently, quoted a former Assistant Secre-
tary Of the Navy as saying: when we
selected the name for the Kearsarge
sloop-of-war, which sank the Alabama.
We had no thought whatever of the Kear.
sarge in Merrimac county" So it would
seem that the old ship Kearsarge was
named after the Kearsarge mountain that
Is near North Conway. According to the
Transcript, an attempt was once made
TO distinguish the two mountains nv
writing the more famous one 'Kiarsarge.'
and another to restore its more ancient
name, Pequawket. But Kearsarge il re-
mains, despite the existence Of a rival in
the same State"

VICTOR SERENUS. \ Story of the
Pauline Era. BY Henry Wood, au-
thor of Studies i'm the Thought World"
Ideal Suggestion" Gods Image in
Man." Edward Burton" "The Political
Economy of Natural Law" etc. Bos-
tom Lee q Shepard. $40 pages. Cloth.
Price, $50.
The scene of this book is located in
the Pauline era, and through graphic
character delineation deals with the
thought, customs, and religious systems
Of that time. It's aim is to draw a picture
Of the actual conditions, avoiding an over
drawn and obnoxious realism. Paul is the
chief, and, with unimportant exceptions,
me only historical character, the other
leading characters being designed as
representative creations. Adventure. ro-
nance, magic. and intense dramatic stu
atoms enter into and impart interest to
the story, but the historic setting is well
preserved.

.Lord of the Empty Barrels

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Why was Governor Barbour, when in
the United States Congress Of 1S2S'29,
called "the lord Of the empty barrels?
Keswick. va. Y.
Governor Barbour was not in Congress
in 1S2S-'29. At that time he was Minister to
England, under John Q. Adams's appoint
ment, and his recall was almost the
first official act of General Andrew Jack
son.
He was rather celebrated for what in
these days would be called INFLATED"
rhetoric, and was really an Orator"
both on and off the hastings. The gibe,
"lord of empty barrels" is easily ex-
planned. then, as hgh-sounding empt-
ness, or. as one may say, firing blank
cartridges. Yet it was a gibe, pure and
simple, for John Quincy Adams. who
knew all the great men of his time says
of him that he was among the best and
greatest of them all.

Active Principles.
Observations of a Philosophical Friend
Of Ours)

Il
Of Ours)
"Rerum causas."
'All my fresh springs are in Thee"
The man Of our day, physically, intel.
lectually, morally, lives on very highly
concentrated food: and his life is very
intense. He wastes no time, nor mate
rial, nor strength. He wants the greatest
results from the least efforts. And he
gets them. Men have explored. and are
still exploring, all the secrets Of Nature.
all the hidden powers and possibilities
Of earth and air, of light, heat. and
electricity, and the mysteries of life itself.
They make study of the inward work.
ngs of the soul, and eagerly accumu-
late active principles. and live forces.
These studies and investigations and
results are not confined TO the learned, to
magicians, alchemists. and priests, as of
old. They are simplifed; they are famil-
iarized; they are popularized; they are
made a part of common, everyday
life-pocket companions. They are put
