From Scribner’s Monthly-
What’s Bis Name?
Mr. Editor:—There are more than a
thousand million people in the world,
and each one of them has a name. Of
course nobody is acquainted with all
these people, but evpry body knows a
great many of them. I, for instance,
am acquainted with—say a hundred
persons. One hundred persons and one
hundred names. Now how at a mo
ment’s notice is a man of average
memory to get all these names and
these people to fit? I can’t do it.
I meet a man in the street. I know
his face very well. That’s easy en
ough.. He carries it in a conspicuous
place. But how about his name? Ten
to one I can’t remember it; why should
I? There’s nothing about him to sug
gest it. If there was any system of
nomenclature which should correspond
with personal appearance it would
help matters. If all the fat persons
were named Jones, all the lean ones
Brown, all the tall folks Robinson, and
short ones Thompson; if people with
jimber-javvs were named Ferguson,
and hook-nosed persons were all called
Ramsey, a great pait of the difficulty
I speak of would be removed. You
might not know just which Brown or
Robinson a man was, but you could
come near enough; and such a thing as
totally forgetting the names of two of
your friends just as you are going to
introduce them would be less likely
to happen than it now is* Why, I’d
rather risk calling by name a rare
plant in a flower-pot than one of my
friends who has suddenly come upon
me. I might pull up a stick from
the ilowei-pot and see that the plant
was ancrcoidns mosmoria, but there’s
nothing sticking out of my friend to
remind me that his name is Samuel
B. Wilson
It is one of the saddest things in life
that there is absolutely nojway to find
out a friend’s name when you are a
lone with him and have forgotten it.
You can’t ask a man, when you have
eaten at his table and slept with him,
and perhaps gone to his grandmother’s
funeral, what is his name! And those
indirect, ziz zag ways of trying to coax
his name out of him seldom amount to
anything. “By the way,” you say (after
a violent meutal process of “a,a,a; b,b,
b; c, c, c, Cox, Campbell,—no; d, d, d;
e, Emerson; f, f, f;—(etc., etc.) 11 how
do you spell your name”? And ten
to one, he says, “With two t’s.” And
then after a frantic struggle in your
mind with Tuttle, Tattle, Tottle, and
almost anything else withthree t’s you
mildly smile, and say, “Oh yes! cer
tainly,” and remember the name the
instant your friend is gone. There are
plenty of stratagems of his kind, but
where is the good of them? I never
could see it.
Why, its often easier to tell the name
of every bone and muscle in a man’s
body than to remember the name of
the man himself. There is generally a
reason for naming a bone, and if you've
once heard it you may remember
it, but there’s no reason at all for
people’s names. I never saw a man
or woman who looked in the least like
his or tier name.
Now, there should be some way to
remedy this social wrong—for it is a
wrong to conceal one’s identity, so to
speak, by cutting off all means of re
cognition except that which depends
on the memory of one’s friends. The
law should be called in. We are
obliged to put numbers on our houses
where every body can see them, and
wh>r not put names on the dwellers
in ; 'the houses? Iu fact, every man
should have his name placed in some
conspicuous place on his person.
This plan was suggested to me by
a friend, and I am sure it would work
well. For instance, what could be
more ornamental, as well as useful,
than a breastpin with one’s name on
it? Or, if people preferred a permanent
arrangement, the old fashion of tat
tooing in India ink might be revived,
and put to some practical use. Such
lettering would last a long time.
In case of ladies (for I would apply
this system to both sexes) it might
be necessary, owing to occasional
change of name, to leave room for
alteration when this method of mark
ing was adopted. But when a more
simple plan is desired, nothing is more
easy than to put a man’s name on some
part of his clothing. For instance
shirts ere generally marked. Now
why not mark them where one can
see not only to whom the shirt belongs,
but who belongs to the shirt?
One thing is certain, something of
this kind must be done, even if a
“what’s-his-name” plank has to be
inserted in one of the political plat
forms. There’s no earthly good in
universal suffrage, or anti-popery, or
local option, or wooden pavements, or
auything else, when you can’t re
member the name of the man you’re
talking to.
Yours truly, Andrew Scoggin.

The Rev. Alexander Burrows, of
Oswego, New York, recently married a
lady lifteen years old, but they fell
out about a week afterwards, Mr. Bur
rows endeavoring to rub boiled pot
atoes into her hair, and sometimes
choking her to make her talk* This
was wild conduct, for potatoes do not
promote the growth of the hair, nor
do ordinary husbands have to choke
their wives to keep their tongues in
good running order. The court, there
fore, fined the reverend gentleman
$150, with the option of being sent to
the Albany penitentiary.
Tiie receipts of the Great Eastern
Circus in Raleigh, for one day, amounted
to nine thousand dollars.
The rice crop promises to be abun
dant, Louisiana alone will throw in
the market over 150,000 barrels clean
rice, weighing over 35,000,000 pounds,
at 10 cents; this represents S3,500,000,'
grown in not more than three small
parishes—Plaquemine, St. Bernard,
aud St. Charles.
There is dew in one flower and not
in another, because one opens its cup
to take it in, while the other closes
itself and the drop runs off. So God
rains goodness and mercy as wide as
the dews; and if we lack them, it is
because we will not open our hearts to
peceive them.
