PIurnI Name. OF rdlhle ri.h.

A few days ago 1 was asked by a for
eigner, "Why do you say two herrlngs'
and two soles' and not two Gods and
two salmonsT" / do not think my
answer was very satisfactory, but the
question suggested the thought that
there are several. cases in which it
would be difficult TO say whether there
is anything like a consensus Of opinion
as to whether a plural form Of the
name Of a fish is admissible. We all
speak Of soles, herrings, sprats, lam
preys and anchovies, the singular form
never, 1 believe, doing service for the
plural. No one, l think, says macker-
els, Gods, salmons trouts, Dreams,
shads, carps, places, basses, barbels.
Sturgeon, perch, mullet, pike, turbot,
funny and skate have not unusually
the plural form in IS"
Fishermen and fishmongers are in
cllned to avoid the plural form in some
instances where it is employed by the
majority Of educated people. In some
cases there is considerable uncertainty.
This have ascertained by means of
fair number of tests. Among them are
carps, shads, tenches. Compilers of
English grammars, so far as my expe-
rience goes, in treating Of plural forms
of nouns make no note Of the names of
fish which do not vary in the plural.-

FAVORS NEW CANDIDATES.
FOR The LEGISLATURE
Samuel Il. Baynard Says lie Was
MiSquOted, Then States Ills
Views

When l announced several days ago
that l would not be a candidate this
year for the lower house Of the State
LEGISLATURE, l was misquot-
ed" said Samuel H. Baynard this
morning. Il was made to say that
there were other Republican members
of the last House who neither ought to
be.and while that is practically what l
did say, the statement is misleading
without the qualifying clauses which
added at the time.
1T is my opinion that the Republi-
can party of the State should present
an entirely new set of men for the Leg
islative Offices this year. Members of
the last Assembly did their duty, | be-
lieve, as they saw it. and as these
men, if elected again, Will, ia all prob
ability, vote on questions of grave in
terest TO the State, as they did two
years ago, and thereby win the ap.
prOval or disapprOval of the RGpubli-
can party, ! think it exceedingly un-
wise for the party to give encourage
ment to the canvass for the renomina-
ton OF anyone of these men. l speak
for the best interests Of the party. 1t
is clear to my mind that certain of
these Republicans will be cut sew
eral OF them. perhaps, so much so as
to defeat them. This means Demo-
.cratic success. of course. We cannot
afford to lose votes in this way. We
must have a unanimous party vote this
year; success for Republican princi-
pies cannot be achieved without it.
For these reasons / repeat that legis-
lative candidates this year should not
be those who represented the State two
years ago. Their action then did not
please their constituents, and it is fair
to presume that it never will"

what We owe to cocIsaghiing.

The now disreputable amusement of
cockhghting which was once respec-
table enough to divide with scholar

Roger Ascham, has provided the Ian

crow" (cf. to crow over. ''To show the
white feather is from the same
