A CURIOUS COINCIDENT
The young ladies of Carrollt*n
were talking together a few night*
ago when one of them suggested
that many *f the great men of
the earth had names ending in
“on.” This set them to work with
the following result:
, From the battle field they got
the names of Napoleon, Welling
ton. Nelson, Washington, Marion-
Anlrew and Stonewall Jackson,
Sam Houston and Robert And*r,
son, the defender of Fort Sumter.
, Among the grsat explorers were
Ponce De Leon, Hudson and An
derson. The most famous invent
ers were Edison, Stephenson, Ful
. ton and Erieeson. From the field
of literature and philosophy they
called these names, Bacon, Addi
son, Isaac Newton, Ben Johnson,
Carlton, Parton, Adelon, Anacre
on, Bulwer Lytton. Brichton, Ade
lon, Gibbon, Byron, Tennyson,
Milton, Anthon, Xenaphon, Fene
lon, Appleten, Bourdon, Joseph
Benson, Clarendon, Bjorson, Chat
terton, Em erson, Dickenson and
Hopkinson, the author of “Hail
Columbia. ”
Among the statesman they found
1 Addwigton, Jefferson, Johnson,
I Bent<fli ! , Hamilton, Harrison, An
-1 drew J'ofmson, Macwft' Littleton,
| Ashburton, Clarend(A3, Clinton,
James Jaeksou, Morton, our vice
president, Stevenson and Govern
or Atkinson. A miscellanef-us lot
were Kit (’arson, Audubon, Cax
l ton, Sampson, Solomon, Daritsm,
j Mary Anderson, Adelaide Neilifon,
Spurgeon. Buffon, Melancton,
Bion, Mason and Dixon, and
I Smiflisod, founder of the institute
that bears his name.
As it w<B a Democratic crowd
. they got inad at the mention of
