The commission appointed by the govermeut to translate into concise, says The Kansas City Star, correct English all Indian names found in the geography of the United States has on its bands a job of great magnitude, as may be comprehended when it is considered that more thau 0,000 names, now fixed to various points between Maine and California and the Canadian line and the Rio Grande, commemorate the fact that the red man once was sole possessor of the land. The names of his chiefs and of bis tribes are forever fixed in memory. Indian traditions are perpetuated and musical Iudiau words incorporated into our tongue, a legacy of poetry and romance even in this practical age. Every name tbe Indian gave meant something. He left to his pale-faced brother the absurdities of prefixing to 2,700towns and settlements the stale descriptive terms, Kast, West, XNortn. South; he left to the white man the confusion of thirty-three Springfields in one union, uot a fifth of which were ever built in a field or by a spring; of Finevilles without a pine.

He pitched d tiiu wigwam beside the stream, a Throvgh the curling waters tbe long, * iark stones on the river's bed looked ^ ike otters at play and forthwith the ? jamping place received the name it jears today? Kalamazooo?"Stonesllke-otters" in the Indian tongue.

Poughkeep- ~ tie is "a safe harbor for small boats;" Korridgewock, "the place of deer;" Ontario, "the village on the mountain;" Saranac, the river that flows .inder rock," aDd Saratoga, "the place jf the miraculous water iu a rot k. Similarly Schenectady is "the river valley beyond the pine trees." Schoharie is "the tributary that throws its waters stroug over and across the main itream," the Wabash is "a cloud blown forward by an equinoctial wind." Monongahela is "the falling-in-bank river," Rappahannock, "the river of ^uick-rising water," the Toronto, "oak trees rising from the lake."

Poetic Hnd Otherwise. There is no commonplace in Indian names. All of the Indian's termB are picturesque, because they are aliveaud. full of meaning to him. A thousand' examples could be,given. Once before tne white man's day, a caving in on a river bank revealed the huge fossil tusk of some prehistoric monster. At once the river received the name Chemung, "Big Horn," and generations of squaws told to generations of papooses the traditions of the big horns and white jaws that once had been found there. In 1675 a portion of Maine was visited by a most devastating fire. The Indians at once gave the region the name ofSchodit, the "great burnt landB," perpetuating forever the memory of the terrible disaster. Orinico is "coiling snake," possibly a reference to the crooked marking the notable killing of some venomous reptile. Sometimes it was the physical features lhat were name-reflected. Thus ? YVeiumpka is "rumbling waters:" Sandusky, the "cool spring:" Tidga the 'swift current:" Niagara, the "neck of water:" Nahant is "at the point:" Passumpslc is "much clear water," and Chautauqua is the "foggy place." Sometimes the Indian's names reflected his superstitions. Thus, Manito is "spirit" Montauk is"amanitoor spirit tree," and Minnewaukon meanB the I u -J \ . 'I. - ' -I'" it Special R M.
