NAMES AMONG NEGROES.
How So Many Odd and Classical APP
peIlations Came to BE Borne
by Them.

There is a good reason for the GU.
rious proper names even now in use
amongst negroes, says an article on
the American negro, in Leslie's Month
~. Their native African names were
scarcely ever used, owing to both diff
ficulty in pronunciation as well as
inability on the part of the blacks
to give them when demanded. The
hundreds it was necessary to name on
the arrival of a cargo caused the days
of the week, months, numbers, ami
mails, gods and goddesses, heroes,
demi-gods, Biblical characters, Shakes
pearean names and the shorter Eng
fish and French Christian names of the
day to be used over and over again. In
every district were dozens of sable
workers answering to such names as
Tuesday, Friday. July, November, Pri-
mus lin use to this day., Sixteen (rare

use now, Jupiter, Pallas, Hector, We

cules, Aaron, Moses. Pharoh, Romulus,
Remus, Hamlet, OthelIo, Caesar Ga
favorite), Jonas. Rose, Priscilla, John,
Jack, Lie. Beth and others. Varia-
tions were had by prefxing "Young"
or "Old" to the name given. The
American negroes acquired their sur
names rather summarily Immediately

PENSIONS FOR LIFE SAVERS.
Bills Favorably Acted on Providing Aid

The House Committee on Commerce
yesterday ordered a favorable report
upon the bill to pension disabled officers
and crews ofthe Life Saving Service. and
the widows and orphans of such as lose
their lives in the discharge of their
duties.
For the purpose of fixing the pensions
to be awarded, the bill provides that the
rank of a superintendent shall be equiv
alent to that of a captain of the navy;
that of keeper of crew to that OF an
ensign, and that of q member of crew
to seaman.
The bill authorizing Captain Eells to
construct light house on Diamond
Shoals, off Cape Hatteras, was ordered
TO be reported unfavorably. Captain
Eells proposed to found his light ON con-
crete caissons, and to take his pay
(Si0O,000) in two equal annual payments
after it should have demonstrated its
stability.
The Light House Board advised against
the enterprise, and the committee
thought it unwise to commit the Govern
nent to it in any way.
