The Name Sounded Well.

There is a man with a cottage in
CascO Terrace, in Maine. He isn't the
only man there nor the only man with
a cottage there, but he is sui generis,
all the same, for he has inflicted ON
himself a really brand new and beauti-
full joke. And he is the only man in
that part of the state who is unaware
of it. The permanence of the joke de-
ponds on it's being kept from him, and
the secret is being preserved until this
writing with perfect unanimity. The
man looks with cOmplacency on his
neighbors as they bring visitors daily
to view his cottage, and ne is happy in
the thought that it's beauty has melted
them to admiration and envy. But
when he reads this, he will discover
that what has brought the hosts Of
strangers to gaze on his cottage is not
the cottage. 1t is the beautiful golden
name that blaZes over his porch. The
man does, not know Spanish, but he
knows when a word sounds nice, and
the Spanish word "vacuna" struck him
as sounding just nice enough for nice
cottage like his. Unhappily "vacuna"
is not SO nice word in meaning as in
sound. In plain, rude English it means

The coach in which the lord mayor
of London rides from the Guildhall to
the law courts was built in 1857 by q
subscription from each of the Junior
alderman or such as had not passed the
civic chair. The repairs to the coach
have lin one year cost as much as 49,
900. The design of the coach is mag
nificent, but can hardly be considered
graceful. 1t consists of a pair of gro
tesque marine figures which support
the seat of the driver, with a large
shell as a footboard. Behind are two
children bearing the city arms. The
perch is double and terminates in dol
phins' heads. Outside the coach is gor-
geous with gliding, and inside are
painted panels. historical and symbol
iea1, relating of course to the city Of
London. Up to the year 1712 the lord
mayor rode in state on horseback, aft
er which there was a carriage drawn
by four horses. The present cumber-
some coach, weighing nearly four tons,
requires six stout horses to drag it
along.
