No, sir ; I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth, or cradled in the lap of luxury. I’m a self-made man, gentle men.” , “You’d better have let out the job,' remarked a voice ia the rear of the hall. He scorued to notice the interrup tion, but proceeded. - ** Yes, feller citizens, I’m proud of having risen by honest industry, proud of appearin’ to solicit your suffrage as a true representative of labor; as one who-has contributed to build up this corbinuuity by the sweat of his brow and the work of his hands.

Brumby & Co n Athens Ga., The origin and derivation of the names of the months, and days of the week, pru not known probably to one person in five hundred, although used daily and almost hourly, by near ly every one. We have therefore thought the following might be ac ceptable to tbe readers of the Banner —from which it will appear—that while we are indebted to the ancient Romans for the names of the months —our ancestors, the Anglo Saxons furnished the names fur the days of our week derived almost wholly from their heatheu deities which they wor shipped. Nathaniel Bailey in his introduc tion to his great and rare Dictionary published in 1754, of which there are probabiy not three copies to be found in the whole State of Georgia, says: “ Having thns shovvD bow the Brit ish language was, in a manner extir pated by the Roman*, Danes, and Saxons, and succeeded—and after that, the Saxon blended with the Nor man French. Before I proceed to ac count for the alteration of the English Saxon by tbe two other causes, I shall mention something relating to the Saxon tongue, of a great part of which the Normons di jxfiled us giv ing a worse for a better. “Great verily, (gays Camden,) was the glory of our tonguu before the Norman conquest, in this that tbe old English could express most aptly all the conceptions of the mind in their own tongue, without borrowing from any; and ot this gives the fol lowing examples: The service of God, called, relig ion, they called—the only assurance, and fast anchor—hold of our souls health. The gladsome tidings of salvation— they called Gods s|>c.ch. The Scribes—they called—Book men. Also the names they gave to their mouths were significant, as, January—They called Wolf Month, because iu that month the wolves were most mischievous to them, for that through the extremity of the cold aud snow, they could not find beasts sufficient to satisfy their raven ous appetites. February—(Cole-wort, or Spring- wort Mouth,) because the worts begin to spring in this month. March—(The lengthening Month,) because then, the days begin in length to exceed the nights. April—(Rising Month,) because Easter generally fell in April. May—(Three Milking Month,) be cause they then milked their cows three times a day. June—(Meadow Month,} because then their cattle were turned out to feed in the meadows. July—(Hay Month,) because then they generally cut their hay. August—(Barn Month) because they then filled their barns. September— (Grist Month,) b ■ • cause they then carried their corn to tbe mill. October—(Wine Mouth,) because then their grapes were usually pre pared to make wines. November—(Windy Month,) be cause of the high winds, happening commouly in that month. December—(Winter Month,) be cause of tbe cold, then growing in tense, and afterwards (lloly Month,) ou account of the Nativity of Christ in this month. By i iie-e instances it does appear tha'. the English Saxon language of which the Normans despoiled us in great part, had its beauties, was sig- Tuesday—From the Anglo Stxod, Tuescol Neretegan derives it from Tuesco the most ancient Idol of the Tentonics, or old Germans and Sax ons, to whom this day, (Tuesday,) was more especially dedicated. Wednesday—From the Anglo Saxon, Wodnes or Woden, a Scan dinavian chief or deity—hence, the name, WoelnesAag, or Wednesday. Thursday—From the Anglo Saxon, TTiorS'dog (day). Thor was the principal deity of the Northern na tions and worshipped by cur ancestors —hence, the name. Friday—From the Anglo Saxon— Friga. the mother of Venns, and wife of Odin, to whom this day was sacred —hence, the name. Saturday—From the Anglo Saxon Saturns dag, (day.) From Saturn, an Idol, anciently worshipped, by the ancient Saxons—hence, the name. How Edison Made a Bug. A correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal tells the following story of Edison.* One of my letters spoke of the possibility of utilizing the present gas pipes by running the electric wires through them. “How is this wonderful Edison going to get hi3 wires thjprgb the pipes, I should like to kuow ?’ asked an unbeliever. Eilison thought it over. “Why, see here, Johnson !’’ he ex claimed the next morning, “I will make a bug that will drag a wire through all the pipes in New York.’’ “Make a bug!” said Johnson, “what in the world are you talking about ?” “Well. I’ll make abu /.” said Edi son, “an iron bng that will go where von send it and drag a wire after it.’’ Ilia assistants drew around while he described his coming—or, rather, his going—hug. Next day he hatched a rude specimen of that insect as large as a coat button. And it stood out on tiie table and crawled 1 It was constructed thus: A min ute’ electro-magnet carried behind it a fine insulated wire, the armature of 'he magnet operating a friction pawl. Now, observe—evry time the circuit is closed through the magnet the ar mature is attracted, the pawl clutclus the sides of the gas pipe with its claws, and the maguet behind drawn toward the armature about a sixteenth of an inch When the cir cuit is open, the armature readies for ward ready to take a second step. Thns at every closing of the circuit the little magnet advances one step and drags forward the insulated wire. The description will be, jierhaps, in- comprehunsive to non-expert*, but more people know something about electricity they formerly did, and ev ery telegraph operator will under stand how this irou bug reaches out its armature claws and crawls around a gas pipe. ‘•Now, don't misunderstand this,’’ said Edison ; “it isn’t at all likely it will ever be used to thread gas pipes I have made it merely tor fun, just to Mark Twain’s Boyhood. Some very amusing anecdotes are related about Mark Twain, or gamne! Clemens, when he was a small boy ; among others the following: | Mark had a constant playmate and chain, a boy about his age, named Napoleon Pavey, or for short, Pole Pavey. One warm spring day. the two boys having got a holliday, Mark shouldered an old flint-lock musket and Pole an old squirrel rifle without any lock at all, which he carried along, as he said, just for the looks of the thing, and went duck hunting over in Shy Bottom. The boys hunted faithfully for several hours and succeeded in killing a chicken and a crow, alter which they corri- mecced their homeward march, not very proud of their success, as in this region, at that day, game abounded. Finally, Mark stop suddenly, as an idea struck him, and exclaimed: See here, Pole, let’ get a rare— what d’ye call it ? A rare geologi cal specimen for the boss; yon see, he’s got a great hankering if.er these things.” ‘What’s a rare geological speci men, Mark ?” said Pole, as he oj ened wide h'S eyes. “Why it’s a rare bird what ain’t never been in these parts before— something very uncommonly,’’ an swered Mark. Where are you going to get it at, Mark?. We ain’t got nothing but this old chicken robber and egg-sock- er, and they ain’t a bit uncommon,” queried the skeptical Pole. “We’ll git her up to order, Pole,” answered Mark, as he flung himself on tbe green grass beneath a giant old elm tree The boys went to work on their ‘‘geological sjiecimen ” As Mark would pluck a feather from the tail ol the crow, Pole would hand him a corresponding feather that had been taken from the tail of the hawk, which Mark would carefully insei t in the socket from which he had just pulled theerow’s feather. And ihus, after two hours of steady work, every one of the long feathers of the hawk’s tail had been transferred to the crow, and it would have required a close ex amination to have detected tiie 'rami. “How is that for a specimen, Pole ?” said Mark, as he admirringly exhibit ed the retailed crow to the gaze of his companion, resplendent in the rich plumage ot the chicken-eater. “She’s a stunner, Mark; a regular stunner. I guess'they ain’t never seen a bird like that in Hannibal be fore. ^’’ The hawk was thrown away anJ the boys trudged homeward. By the time they had arrived in town the blood of the crow had congealed aud the fals ■ feathers in the tail had be come firmly fixed. \s Mark had said. Judge Clemens, his father, was some what of a natur alist, and had a passion for whatever was rare and strange in the animal kingdom. Why, Mark,” he said, “where in XTfinKi-flbennmJeet p; irfhre to uke thtli Pwlodirals from tire to 1 Srlilcfi they are d:- reetod, they Rre Bold tmpmaibld until tliey bare aettled UuSrbUli and aidefcd tbem 4faecatini.«d.

[Paris Correspondence London' telegraph.] Young ladies vfho‘thick proper to correspond with rejected lovers would perhaps do well to take n -hint from the following curious case, which is, however, authentic: Mile. Felieie Maxey, who lives on the farm of Pentecote, ou the Bclgiaq frontier, was on the point of being married, when she received a letter fjom au old suitor, asking her to reconsider the matter, and send him au irnn edi- ate reply. A postage - siitnjp was gallantly inclosed to defray the cost of t’rarsmission. The answer duly written, Mile. Maxey.,appjiijd the stamp to her fair lips:,,hut hardly had she done so when she felt a sharp pain in her tongue, aiid in h-Ss than no time that iateresting member be en me horribly elanga’ed and Inflamed and covered with noisome sores.
