The Surpiislii XnmtMT or Surli IVp That Occur in a Great City. N. Y. Corn Philadelphia Record. The public would le amazed to learn bow many women tbere are in a great city wbo do not know whether their busbands are living or dead. Tbe busbands suddenly disappear, and that is all they know about it. A few go to the police and give tbe alarm; tbe many wait in silence, or advertise covertly and send letters in eveiy direction that in themselves re veal nothing of their sorrow, in an experience of thirty years in New York there have conie to my knowl edge many such inexplicable cases of disappearance, iu which the story lias been told on condition that it should lie kept out of print. Une man, a traveler for a drv goods house, disap peared for thirty years, and suddenly turned up in Ins wife s liome in .bank street, where she had been living with another husband for twenty years. He saw her but once, and then went to see his infant boy, then a man grown and married, and then disappeared ase came. Outwardly he bore all the signs of prosperity, but revealed nothing about himself except that he had bten n "Tolling stone," and could not stay contented anywhere. Happily his reappearance did no harm and no good. Curiosity alone seemed to have prompted him to return and discover the fate of the loving yonng wife he had left behind. Once I boarded for months at the house of a well-couuected widow lady of mature years before I learned that her husband had disappeared one bright summer afternoon from his place of business in South street, and was supposed to be dead. A patient search for three years had revealed nothing. Uut the man was not dead. Business did not go to suit him. and he suddenly thought it would bo best to Jeave everything m the hands of his sons andgo away, at the age of GO, io seek his fortune. He intended to return when ho had "made his pile." But fortune wae unfavorable, juid after wear' wanderings ho could find nothing better to do than to drive a horsecar iu a neighboring city. Homesickness impelled him to return in the hope of catching a glimpse of his family, after which he intended to go back to his work. A friend paw him, had him arrested as a lunatic, and then the wife aud daughters persuaded him to come back home. It was just in time, for within a year he died, and the sunset of his life was very pleasant. This was the tragedy of a man who had no evil habits, and had never been absent a night from home unless his family knew where he was. A prominent and successful busi ness man here owes all his succes to his wife. "When a young married man he disappeared from a coast steamboat, and everybody except his wife thonght him dead. She believed otherwise, aud traced him up for five years, until she found him traveling for a Philadelphia house. She brought him back, started him again iu uusiuu&s, waioueu wiiu nun anu for him night and day. and built nn his fortune to a pitch he had never expecteJ. More than this, she man aged to so bridge over his absence that none outside of the immediate family knew of his escapade, for she took herself away from her friends and from communication with them until she had found and restored him. These are only three incidents out of many that have come to mv knowl edge, and go to show that the record of mysterious disappearances would be marvellously abbreviated it the entire truth were told. The fire in the Brooklyn theatre, which caused the death of more than 100 victims. was me occasion ior the sudden dis appearance of a number of persons who wished to be thought dead, and the later crush on the Brooklyn bridge was followed by the report of quite a number of 'missing" ones, some of whom were forced to turn up alive again under rather rid icnlous circumstances. Very few people are spirited away by the crimiual classes, nnd it is always safe for a wife to look for her husband on some one of the lines of travel. In manv cases they do not care to look for the miss ing domestic link. It is usually the black sheep who seeks fresh fields and pastures new. The Names of .Natioiw. These are derived principally from some pecnliar cause or object For instance, Ireland which Julius Caj sar first called Hibernia is a kind of modification of Erin, or the country of the "West. Scotland from Scotia, a tribe which originally came from Ireland. It was anciently called Caledonia, which means a mountainous country for ests and lands. Portugal, the ancient Lusitania, was so named from a town on flo River Douro, called Cale, opposite to wnicn the inhabitants built a city called Porto or Oporto. Aud when the country was recovered from th Moors the inhabitants combined Hi words and called it the Kingdom of .rorracaie nence ortugaL Spain, the ancient Iberia, from the River Iberia or Hispania. from th Phoenician Spaniga, which signifies abounding with rabbits, which ani mals are very numerous in that coun try hence Spam. France from the Franks, a neonle of Germany, who conquered that country. Its ancient name was Cel ta, Gaul or Gallia-Bracchata, the latter signifying stripped breeches, which were worn by tho natives. Switzerland the ancient Helvitin. W5i? .nained bv ke Austrians, whol cu mo muuoicants or, these moun- laujuuM countries bchweitzers. Italy received its present name from a renownnd nrinoo niin;i tt It was called Hesperia, from its west- Holland, the ancient Bat avi, a war like people, was so named from the German wd Jw7il, the English of whiohjis hollow, implying a very low country. The inhabitants are called OREGON, SUNDAY, AUGUST 24, 1884. Dutch from the German (teut.srh or leitlsci. Sweden and Norway were auciently called Scandinavia, jvhicb tbe motf eru antiquarians tbink means a coun try tbe woods of .-which have been either burned or destroyed. The ap pellation Sweden "iss&derived from Sictuna or Suitbeod. The native term Norway or the northern way ex plains itself. t Prnssia, from Peuzzi, a Sclavonic race; but some writers suppose it took its name from.Eussia, and the .Sclavonic syllable po, which means adjacent to or near. Denmark means the marches, ter ritories or boundaries of the Dana. .Russia is the ancient Samartia, which has been subsequontlv named I nsc0Yy. It derived its " present name from Itussi, a Sclavonic tribe who founded the Russian monarchy. The original savage inhabitants used to paint their bodies in order to ap pear more terrible in battle. They generally lived in the mountains, and their chariots were their only habi tations. Turkey took its name from the Turks or Turcomans, which signifies the wanderers, and originally be longed to the Scythians or Tartars. It is sometimes called the Ottoman Empire, from Othoman, one of thoir principal leaders. THE POSSIBILITIES OF FUSION. The Democrats and Greenbackers of Iowa have determined to run one electoral ticket, divided between the two parties in proportion to the num ber of voters in each. This division gives the Democrats seven electors and the Greenbackers six. If the fu sion ticket should be elected the en tiro vote of the state would be lost to the Republicans, and Ben Butler would havo at least six electoral votes. Such n result in Iowa might throw the election into the House of Representatives. A popular impress ion seems to prevail to some extent that the House to be eleoted this fall will have the choosing of a President, should tho people fail to make a choice. A moment's reflection will show that the House now in existence, which will remain in existence until the 4th of March, the day the Presi dent must bo inaugurated, is the one destined to elect a President m the event of a failure by the people. The House to be elected this fall does not meet by law until December, 18S5. If the policy of fusion shall be con tinued in other slates tho door will bo open for some new departures in American politics. Up to tho pres ent time electors havo voted as they were instructed. "While the jpowea remains with tho electors to vofe)as they please, the custom haslheeh to vote for the candidate nominated by the National Convention of the party who nominated them as electors, it a Democratic elector should vote for the Republican Presidential candi date, or if a Republican elector should vote for a Democratic Presi dential candidate, the act would be regarded as an infamous betrayal of trust. If tho election should be throwu into the house by a fusion between two minority parties in sev eral states, the question of duty pre sented to the electors would contain some elements not often held under consideration. For example, let us suppose that a Democratic and Greenback fusion in Iowa, Massa chusetts and Michigan should result in the election of the fusion electoral ticket in each of these states. These are states usually counted for Blaine, and the loss of them would most probably throw the election into tho House. But what would tho Green back party conceive it their duty to do under such conditions? Their right to vote either for Blaine or Cleveland would be undispnted. AVhat could they do without viola tion of trust, as men of honor having the best interests of tho country at heart?- The straight and easy course for them to pursue would be" to cast their votes for Butler, the nominee of their party. But in so casting their vote they would throw the elec tion into the House, where the Dem ocrats have a majority of the state delegations. In the House their can didate would stand no possible chance of election. He would not even re ceive a vote in the House, as in the election for President each stato votes, as a unit and is controlled by a majority of its delegation. It becomes clear, therefore, that if tho Greenback electors, in case neither candidate has a majority without them, cast their vote for the Green back candidate they would make the election of the Democratic can didate by the House reasonably sure. "We can easily imagine the pressure which would, in such a condition of affairs, be brought upon the Green back electors to cast their votes so as to eleot the candidate of either of the other two parties as might be pre ferred by a conference of tho party. "We are only supposing a condition of things which may happen and a course of action which Avould involve uo dishonor. If we should extend our speculation to the possibilities, there would be no end to the contin gencies which might arise or bo pointed out as likely to arise. Mr. R. O.
