The St. John Globe This morning, Mr. the manager of the St. John Electric Telegraph office mentioned the fact that in one respect the year was noticeable. Weare at this mo ment, said he, passing through a magnetic storm of the most extraordinary violence, which, continu: ally changing the polarity of the currents, s¢ rionsly retards our business, and especially affected the cables last night. These storms come in cyeles. In 1859 they were of remarkable violence, and at racted the — attention ef electricians. In August, 1871, (atthe time of Renforth’s death, which was in Angust,) there were violent magnetic storms ; and now these storms are again commencing. Many theo- ries are assigned to account for these storms, one of the most acceptable being that the earth is passing through space largely occupied by meteors. The casual observer may have noticed on any clear night wifhin the past few weeks the num- ber and brilliancy of the meteors within range of his vision. =a reports :— Lobinson, Very Sipepy.—A scene was witnensed on a New Brunwick train, a few days ago, that filled the picnicers with astonishment. One of the news agents, met the train above Hampton and got aboard. The young fel- low having been up very late fer t three nights previously, felt very sleepy, sake laid down and went te sleep. - At Hampton the Conductor came through the ear, and seeing the young iellow, s! hook him and told him “he had * better go to bed,” aud then passed through. The agent jumped up with a vacant look, staring ont ‘of his eyes and, to the horror of the ladies, immediately divested himself of his coat, pants and vest, and falling into the seat, fell back into the arms of the ged of dreams. The people in the car were’ r| astonished, shocked, paralyzed, ete., no} one seeming to have the power & rouse the- lad to a sense of his condition. At Rothe- | say the Conductor agaiu appeared, and seeing the nude appearance of the lad, woke him up and brought him to his senses. The young fellow, seeing how things were, snatched up his garments, rushed outside two or and denned them. —Globe. ee en te eee AMINER. ; ons : Old OUPSELVES TESPO) sible jor , } SHIONMA nts. j ; ; think it! ne = sapien a Sa — sesaanicacanneanecapmignetnanets aupsliaieuadins NU, 73 Speiling Women's Names. i880. t (.Vew Many, if not a majority, of the names of ‘the eight or nine hundred girls from the schools who have been examined for _ adunission to the Normal College, give us ‘the impression that they belong te mere /lousehold pets rather than to young women iwho are approaching maturity, and whe are engaged in serious work. These girls | apparently prefer the nicknames by which | they are known in the family circles and te |intimate friends, to those to which they | were christened, and therefore take pains ‘to adopt them in their signatures. In 80 . doing the public schoo! girls are not excep- ( tional among our young women, for it is (til te the fashion bowadayvs for them to 'vrow so enamored of their nursery appel- ane that they cling “to them as their ' fixed | and proper names. They may be ‘even offended when they are addressed by fiherr corvect names, which they imagine ‘than these pet diminutives ; and York Nitin, ) ™ }. | pubile ’ {less pretty te me grave growu wp weman will pat Haitie or Gussie, Mamie or Salle on their fea rds as if they were in pinafore still, : ‘ THE FASHION IS AMERICAN, but our patriotism cannot make us grow fond of it. The nicknames which appear in so large a share of these public school a. . } ‘ girls’ signatures would do very well for the ets ata dog show. When they are used to express the affectionate regard of near friends and relatives, they also may be pretty and appropriate, but they look very silly ina formal signature, and surely do not befit the dignity of wemanheod. We find, for instance. among these eight hun- dred names scores of Minnies and Mamies, only here and there a Mary, a much more euphonious as well as dignified name, Jane is transformed usually into Jennie, Caroline into Carrie, Ellen inte Ella, Elizabeth into Lizzie and Bessie, Katherine into Kate, Martha into Mattie, Margaret into Maggie, Anne and Anna into Annie, and Harriet into, Hattie. Such absurd names as these appear frequently : Chattie, Lidie, Millie, Tillie, Kittie, Rosie, Nettie, Bibbie, Aggie and Margie. THE GREAT to manufacture a mame which ends in ie, and in accomplishing it the finest appella- tious for women we have, names renowned in poetry and history, and of a sweet and melodious sound are chopped up into child- ish diminutives. They convey an idea of pettiness, and do not rightly belong to girls of dignity and shasnater girls like those “~who-are geing to the Normal College, so many of whem will have their living to earn. And yet these girls think it is pretty to” bet knéwn by such pet names. and go discard, as ugly and old-fashioned, the names by which they were christened, What would they think to see a college register which gave the young men’s names as Jim- mie, Billie, Bobbie, Tommie, Charlie, Sammie and Dickie! ‘This fashion is ex- tending among women, and girls are even named nic'isnames only, as if they were al. ways to be nothing more than nursery pets. And yet this isa “period when women are contending for higher consideration as rational beings, and when the range of their occupations, “outside of the domestic circle is constantly widening and growing in im- portance, ; oS t t sence ana AIM SEEMS TO BE ~~ sd wntesited us A Paris correspondent of the ‘* Pall Mall Gazette’ writes: ‘‘A very grand head is Gambetta’s. The lines are ample and express power at its ease. About the tem- ples and over the eyes the development of the forehead is abnormal. Gambetta’s superiority is not of a kind to awake jeal- ousy. Itis very manifest, but it isso un- alloyed with egotism, and it is so softened with good-fellowship, that a man of talent who feels small! in the presence of the great tribune, does not for that feel humiliated, Gainbetta enjoys companionship more than * soe ety, > as * Bocie ty 18 uudersteod in our time. He likes clever woman if they are unatiected, and he does not believe that a woman’s conversation can charm a man of intellect wnless itis the outcome of much study, observation, and long-sustained wental efforts. The professienal beaut would be neglected by him unless her lovli- bess were lighted up by wit. Gambetta has a garden at Ville d’ Avray, about twice the size of his dining-room iu the Palais Benrbon ; butit is in a district of national parks-and woods, in which he breaths at his ease, and walks until he is ready to | drop from fatigue.” <a>, Tuz Fasrest Time on Reconp. — Horse trotiing is being brought down te a fine point inthe United States. On the J2th, at the Rochester. N. Y., races, ** St. Julien” and ‘* Maud,” the celebrated trotters, cach suc- ceeded in covering the mile in 2-11}3—the fastest time on record. Itis only barely pos- sidle that the mile trotted was short, or the time keepers slow in gathering in the sec- onds, and the rather ee feat of a horse trotting a mile in 2.11} will be generally accepted as possible. The only question now ‘is, when will the minimum figures be reached, It is onlya few years since 2.29 were fast | figures, and Dexter's feat, which is quite com- : mon now-a-days, at the time of its perform- ‘ance was ljooked upon as quite wonderful. But at the rate the figures are being brought down by new trotters, it looks possible that Dexter's famous time will before long be beaten by a quattcr of a minute. | —-— co The army worn has made iis appearance in the eastern part of Halifax County.
