A Relic of Rarba lism.

The time-honored custom of giving
the bride her husbands name on the
wedding day is relic of the epoch
when woman was mere appendage.
She was an integral portion of the
gems or family, now Of her father, now
of her brother. now of her husband.
She had not Independent entity of her
own. Hence she took over the sur
name Of her legal protector. giving up
that of her father. Names were la
bel indicating ownership, and changed
accordingly. This is so true that
wherever woman's rights We're ac-
Acknowledgements was the case among
many wild tribes-the child received
the mothers name. or the appellation
of her gems. not that of the male par
ent. Thus the head of the family has
always bestowed his name on the
members. and the first outward sign
of female emancipation, when it does
come, will be the maintenance by
young wives of their maiden names,
with or without the patrOnymic Of
their husbands. Why should it not be
so even now? A wife Is said to be her
husbands half, very often she is his
better half. Is it not meet that this
relation should appear in the family
name? The dualism of family names
is no unheard of innovation. In Bel
GUM man and wife very often unite
surnames when they bind hands and
hearts. and double barreled" names
are as plentiful as blackberres in au-
tumn. They have usually distin-
guished ring about them as If they
were titles of nobility. Sometimes they
are alarmingly long; that. however. is
not the fault Of the system, but only
Of the country.

SALMON p. CHAsE'S CARRIAGE
Still Preserved in the Shop of Wash.
ingtOn Dealer.

Still Preserved i'm the Shop of a Wash.
ington Dealer.
The carriage which was in 1862 the
handsomest equipage in Washington.
and which transported through it's
streets the reigning society queen of
that day--the daughter of Salmon =.
Chase. or, as she is now remembered.
Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague-has for the
last eighteen years occupied an in
conspicuous place in the salesroom of
Thomas L. Young's carriage house in
that city.
The huge vehicle is now quaint and
out of date in many ways. though
traces of its departed elegance are not
lacking. A well-worn foOtbOard in the
rear gives evidence of the military ap-
pearance of two liveried footnen who
gripped with tenacity at the black
strap handles in order to maintain
their equilibrium In front is box
in the fashion If hearse of the pres.
ent day
The interior of the carriage, with its
ample seating capacity for six persons.
is lined with heavy lilac satin. while
the handles and door latches are of
silver and ivory. The carriage is jet
black and its heavy running gear. to-
gether with its ponderous body and
substantial trappings, gives the i'm
preston that it is looking with
naughty disdain on the glossy traps
which surround 1t in the salesroom.
never admitting for Il moment that its
former glory has been lessened Il whit
by the vagaries of fashion.
Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague gave the
carriage in trade for more modern
vehicle about eighteen years ago. Its
value now is simply that of a relic.
but in the estimation of Mr.. Young
this value is increasing each year.
Mr.. Young also has stored away in
his lofts the Seward carriage. which
is an exact counterpart of the carriage
shown ut Buffalo as the equipage Of
Abraham Lincoln. This, with the car
rage of Gen. Tecumseh Sherman
says the Washington Star. he pur
chased about twenty years ago.
