The Origin Of Gotham.
(From the Housekeeper.)

H..
This name, Gotham, was first applied
to the City OF Manhattan, In q. book OF
humorous sketches called "Salmagun-
d." written about 1907 by Washington
Irving In collaboration with his broth
er Peter and the poet Pauldin3 Ut was
evidently intended to suggest that the
people OF. New York made undue pre-
tensions to wisdom, and that there were
both satire and wit in the suggestion
is shown by the story of the original
Gothamites. Gotham was, parish In
England The old
story tells how King John wished TO
PASS thru the parish. but the peopls
there, fancying that, the passage Of the
king over route made it q public
road. decided to prevent the transit by
all pretending to be crazy. Therefore,
when the king and his party arrived
they found every one of the inha bitants
employed in some peculiarly foolish
task. Thus, number were Joining
hands around a thorn bush to keep a
cuckoo from getting away; some were
trying to drown an eel. others dipping
water with sieve. and SO on When
the king saw these performances he
swore at the people for pack Of
IDIOTS. and turning. departed with all
his rstinue. The -Gothamites were de-
lighted with the success OF their
scheme for turning aside the king, re-
garding 1t as superlatively tlever.
After this Gotham came to have. the
reputation OF being a sort of head
quarters for conceited fools. In the
time OF Henfy VIII. q. book entitled
THE Merry Tales Of the Mad Men OF
Gotham was published. Among these
was the story of THE Three Wise Men
OF Gotham" one of whose exploits was
to go to sea in bowl. KS

to again be cleared as it was before
the rains.
