NAMING A VESSEL.

Why President Arthur Would Not
Call 1t the Concord.
While General Arthur was president
and during one of the summers of his
administration he was on board the
Dispatch at Newport, and Secretary
of the Navy Chandler was pestering
him to consent to naming the new dis
patch boat, afterward the Dolphin, the
Concord, after the first battle of the
Revolution. General Arthur was dis
posed to quiz Chandler about his pro
posed name. He preferred the name
Dolphin as being more suggestive of
speed at sea. When Chandler argued
the Importance of keeping in mind the
heroic resistance of the colonial mill
tia and the brilliant opposition offered
to Pitcairn's men General Arthur ask
ed him:
What is it that you propose to call
this ship2"
'The Concord" answered Chandler,
giving the approved New Hampshire
pronunciation.
There" retorted Arthur, inviting the
attention of Captain Reeder. DO
you hear that? Conquered. Do you
think that a good name to give ship
ofwar? Then, suppose you change the
pronunciation and call it Concord, just
as spelled. Does it not strike you,
Chandler, that there is a degree of
Concord in the presence of a vessel of
war?"
The new ship was called the Dol
phin, but the Concord appeared after
General Arthur had ceased to have in
fuence in naming the ships of the
navy.

DECIDED AT POKER.
La NfOure's Five Card Draw Won the
Name of the County.

la MOure's Five Card Draw Won the
II Name of the County.
When the extreme western border Of
Dakota was colonized there was live
ly squabble about what the new coun-
ty should be called. There were four
commissioners whose duty it was to
decide on the name, and at the board
meetings the vote for the name of the
county was always two and two, aud
public feeling began to run high. John
Winn suggested that the four commits
sioners should take 500 white chips
apiece and play game of poker to
decide, the chips to represent So each.
This was agreed to, and the game com
menced with the entire population on
hand. For two hours little gain was
made, and then jack pot came
around, for which seventy three hands
were dealt before it was opened III
nally Commissioner Edwards opened
1t for $780, He held three kings, Judd
La Moure held zigzag, and the 9th
ers dropped out. Edwards drew one
card. La Moure dealt himself five
cards, and the betting commenced.
Men with revolvers kept the crowd
from the table. After several raises
there was $1,000 in the pool private
money, besides the chips. Then the
hand was called. Edwards held three
kings, and La Moure had drawn a full,
three fves and pair of fours. He
rose to his feet and cried, Gentlemen,
this is Mckenzie county" and so it
was and is called. The game lasted
eighteen hours, and La Moure and
Winn were carried shoulder high
around the town, which saw no sleep
that night. The cards held by La
Moure are to be found among the ar
chives of the county labeled "La
Moure's Five Card Draw"
