CHANGING NAMES OF INDIANS.
The Almost Universal Desire for the New in
Nomenclature

washington April 1 tspeciaD.--TGle determine
ton on the part Of the government revise and
cut out the Objectionable of Indians and
give them something high toned" remarked
official OF the War Department. 'fs only In
keeping with the name changing mania which has
been going since the foundation of the
world. shortly thereafter. realize. and I guess
every ono does. that some OF our wards among the
Indians have very ugly names, but I cannot exact
Is approve of this work Of giving them names.
An entire change OF names was not unknown
to forefathers Camden tells that they
were frequent in his time. TO modify the rdicu-
lous lest the bearer should viliied by them
We all know why friend Smith writes himself
smythe or Smeeth. and Taylor becomes Tayloe
Taylure. 1t IS stated that there Mr.
Taylor who had been modified into Taylure. who
asked a farmer the OF his dog. The answer
was. His proper name is Jowler. but since he's
a consequential kind or pup call him Jowleure.'
And so il is; wealth and position cause men and
women 70 put these extra frfils tC their names.
Lucian mentions a man who was called Simon,
who. having got q little wealth, changed his
name TO Simonoides. for The reason that there
were many beggars of his kin. He also set
fire 70 the house in which he born. that
nobody could point 1t out Early French histo-
rians tell Us Of Bruna. who became queen of that
kingdom. when it was thought proper to convey
something Of royal pomp TO her name and she
was called Brunehault- Many young have
discarded their good oldtime given names, and the
'Edvthe' 'C'aroIynnp' FNavmmc' 'T3osenne' and
heaven knows what all. The names of their dear
old mothers are not good enough for the present
day crowd But the changes go from year TO
year. and towns and places public and private
houses have been made to suffer Even though of
good old English origin. the names have been Ill
treated and changed beyond AL power or hope of
recognition. OF course, in some instances one is
justified in changing his or her name Take the
case Of the brother Of the famous old leather
dealer. Praisegod Barebones. who presided over
the Rump Parliament His pious parents had
christened him TfGod- dnot-died-fQr thee-thoII-
haGst-been damned As few could utter the
whole name in sober earnestness he was known
s Damned Barehones.' Our Puritan fathers in
dulged in a sad fancy for ScripturaI names, and
sometimes they took whole sentence from the
Bible Such should he changed. and where
find Indians with names like 'Was-gofng-to-
e-but-dcn't' kilIed-tHo- -birdsy1t h-one-arTov'
and such like let them be changed; but where they
are known Fighting Dog Jim Crow Big
Snake then let them remain that.
There seems 70 have prevailed from olden times
general dislike for very short and simple names.
When DOcles became emperor he felt called upon
70 Iengthen his name 70 Diocletian. The Oldest
coats Of arms Of the nobility Of all countries are
the simplest. consisting generally Of only single
device; 50 the Oldest names also may be presumed
10 have been extremely simple"
