Friends of both parties then went to work to try to ameliorate matters, and it was thought that the differences were par tially settled or so much so that trouble would be avoided, but it seems that this was tfotto the satisfaction of Mr. J.

The ci|use of all this stir rthd fright was certain weird and dreadful sounds that were heard to issue from apiid the graves soon after nightfall. Sometimes these noises resembled demoniacal laughter—at least so it was said—and again groans and wails, as If of a soul in torment. No one had the courage to investigate them, and so it was not long before the place, by common con sent. was described as “haunted,” and everyone, especially the negroeg, kept religiously away from it.

I was ruminating about the origin of naiuet, Anglo-Saxon names, and find it to»be a curious and interesting study. For instance, is it possible that the original Bledsoe was wounded in a tight or by accident and bled so much that it gave him a name. Is it proba ble the Ked wine ancestor had a vine yard and made wine of that color or maybe did not have a vineyard, but was much given to looking upon the wine when it was red. It seems that the common people didn’t need but one name until longafter theChristian era. The Homans, however, began a system to honor and distinguish distinguished people. They adopted a pre-ncmen— nomen and a cognomen—as I’ublius Cornelius Scipio i ’yhlius was his Chris tian name, as we call it, and no dpubt the boys called him Hub. Cornelius, his family name and Scipio was his most notable characteristic, for he was good to his blind old father and led him about with a staff, and scipio means a staff. I have great respect for Scipio. Horace was called Hora- teou* because be had very large ears, and Flaccuv means flop-eared.
