paonIa of Gaze Cod and Nantucket
Used to Have Uncompiimentary
Names for Each Other.

Deep sea fishermen hailing from
New England parts have their own
way of referring to one another 1t
goes without saying too that these
nicknames are not complimentary.
Back in the days when Nantucket
was the greatest whaling port in the
world her sailormen bestowed the
title .'coofs" on all ofislander seafar-
ing men. An offislander is anybody
who is so unlucky as to dwell any
where but on the island of Nantucket.
In time the opproprious epithet of
.ecoofs" became in its application more
or less restricted to folks from the
cane. In that part Of the world there
is but one cape and its name is Cod
The Cape Codders in their turn de-
the Nantucketers as scrap
islanders" or even merely scraps.
This name they got from the whal-
ers' custom of cutting UP and cooking,

Prof. J. H. SeeIye Of Amherst Was
Elected by Independent Republic
ans, His Expenses Being
One Stamp.

Some time ago a newspaper dispatch
from Franklin, Pa, told that a former
congressman, Joseph G. Sibley, had
spent over $4,000 to win the Repub-
lican nomination for congress in his
district, or something less than four
dollars for every vote he received in
the primary. The lero of to-day's
anecdote is man who spent not one
red cent to secure congressional
nomination and only two cents during
the entire campaign that resulted in
his being sent to congress. The anec-
dote was told to me in 1884 by the
late George D. Robinson. who that
year came prominently before the
country as the victor over Benjamin
F. Butler in the Massachusetts guber-
Material campaign of that year.
In the summer of 1874 the indie
pendent feeling became so strongly
developed among the Republicans in
the congressional district adjoining
my own" said Mr.. Robinson. that the
voters affected thereby even thought
