THE FIRST HENcHMEN.


They Were Young Mobiles who Acted
as Pages to the King.
Skeat derives the word henchman
from hengstman (AnglO-Saxon), horse
man. groom 1t is probable that bench
men were In the first instance young
mobiles who at state ceremonies attend
ed on the king as mounted pages.
History speaks of these henchmen In
this capacity, for we read that Henry
vi. had three and Edward Nv. six of
them. We find, too, that they were
mentioned In the royal ceremonies as
belonging ito the riding househoId''
and took part in tournaments.
The last time "henchman" Is men
toned in connection with the court Is
In the reign Of Henry VIII, and grad
ually 1t came to mean an ordinary
page. The word Is used by Ben Jon
son and Shakespeare In this sense.
In an English Journal of April @,
1851, Mr.. w. Henchman claims that
his family took their name from words
spoken by Henry VII. to an ancestor
in the hunting field, who had ridden
as his page throughout an arduOus
day. ''Crossborough." cried the king.

An Anecdote Of Handel.

On one occasion Handel was caught
in a shower of rain and being unpro-
vided with an umbrella was obliged to
seek shelter in blacksmith's forge.
Either Handel was in a silent mood
or else the blacksmith showed no con-
versational symptoms, for In a little
while the latter began hammerinb
away at his anvil, accompanying hiA
work with a song. He little thought
the use his visitor was making of him
and his anvil, for it is said that Han
del was listening all the time to the
strokes of the hammering on the anvil,
which, by producing two harmonic
sounds, according in time and tune
with the tune the man sang, formed
a bass accompaniment. Handel, on
reaching home, remembered the air
and the hammer accompaniment. He
wrote down both, and SO we owe to a
shower of rain the composition known
as 1.-The Harmonious Blacksmith"

A Monument to Jefferson Davis.

Any captious critic may write me
down crank if it pleases them so to
do, but | verify believe the citizens Of
the State of Georgia should build
granite monument somewhere in the
State to Hon. Jefferson Davis. While
there may be those still living who
disagreed with his policy no man ever
lived who doubted MS loyalty to the
Confederate cause. 70 the best Of
his ability he stood to the faith that
was in him, and he was the vioarious
sufferer of the whole business.
1t makes me tired to hear people
talk about the necessity for building
monuments to any other Confederate
until this one duty has been perform
ed. If anybody deserves monument
for the services given to the Confed
crate cause Mr.. Jefferson Davis earn
ed it and went through fiery trials and
wade in deep waters to show his 10y
atty to the people of the South.
If the men of Georgia decline to
erect such monument, the women
will do it ere another thirty-fye years
have rolled over their heads.
When Mr.. Roosevelt denounced Mr..
Davis as TRAITOR" itfred the blood
in my veins. So far as his acts may
be accounted treason, there are thous-
ands just as guilty, just as much trail
tors as Mr.. Davis, and it is neither
just nor gentlemanly to shunt off the
whole burden to his shoulders.
He may have made mistakes but
they we're honest mistakes. He was
trying to roll burden up hill that
was more than any mortal man could
accomplish. He did his best in a
very trying place and he should not be
forgotten by those he endeavored to
serve.
He had his enemies. What man in
high public position fails to have
them? but he was made the burden
bearer Of the concentrated hate Of the
North and whatever Of odium it was
possible to heap upon one man or one
section, that was heaped on his de-
voted head. He should be remem-
bered in brass and marble for his 10y.
