While many persons are aware oi' the iaet that Aew York has not al ways been so called, having for a time at least been known as .New Amsterdam, probably not one in 10,000 is aware of the fact that in early days it possessed still another and now forgotten name the Towne of Maunados. That this was the case, however, is shown be yond the shadow of a doubt by a map which hangs in the armory of the Old Uuard of the city of Kew York among its collection of early Americana, the authenticity of which is eertiiied to by the manu script department of the British museum, in whose possession is the original from which the eopy in the possession of the Old Guard was made. As a quaint representation of early geographical ideas of what is now Cireater New York the map in question is interesting. It is one of Hie very few on which the name of Towne of Mannados is given pri ority over that of New Amsterdam. The facsimile which hangs in the Old Guard armory, certified as be ing a correct copy in every par ticular, is entitled "A Description of the Towne of Mannados, or New Amsterdam, as It Was In Septem ber, 161U." If, however, the "towne" at that time existed in the shape indicated by the plan, ex tremely violent earthquakes must have occurred since. The map, a curious illustration of early ideas of geography, shows New York, or, rather, the Towne of Mannados, as a peninsula, jutting into an inclosed bay formed by "Hudson river" on one side and an unnamed stream on the other, probably regarded as its continuation. To the west lies an unexplored territory designated as the '"niaine land" and to the east "Loiige Iceland." What is probably Staten Island is depicted as lying due west of what is today Wall street, and the only outlet from the inclosed bay into which the Towne of Mannados juts is a single extremely narrow pass between the "maine land" and "Longe Isleland," which almost j meet at a point in the vicinity of what is now Sandy Hook. On either side of this passage is the descrip tive title "Heads." That, in brief, was the idea of the Towne of Mannados in 1GG4 The plan also shows a spot marked "Water Mill" at the mouth of a stream which is probably the Har lem river, while "Ye Governour's House" is located at the extreme southeastern part of the island A lie territory, winch was even vaguely mapped, hardly extends above what is now Twenty-third street. Beyond that on the "plan" there lies a vague territory much used by early geographers.

Horseshoing a Specialty Senate and Lords. The -British house of lords is a survival of the ancient aristocracy of the kingdom, which for a long time was supreme in all national matters. When the democratic sentiment won a place for itself in the shape of the house of commons the natural and apparently inde structible conservatism of the Brit ish people held on to the house of lords as a cheek upon the commons and a perpetual reminder of the an cient institution. The senate of the United States was the result of the compromise struck between the Xa tionalists and State Bights parties in he convention that formed the constitution. Some were for merg ing the representatives in a single body, while others insisted upon the second chamber (the senate) as a recognition of the political equality oi tne states.

Powerful Combination. Tim was a protege of Mr. Blank, a well known Boston lawver. He was often in trouble, but by per sonal influence with the courts Mr, Blank managed to have him let down easy, so it became a matter of talk, the Green Bag says, that he did not suffer greatly in being ar rested. "How is it, Tim," some one asked one day, "that you are arrested very often, but never go to jail or pav any fines?" "It's just this way," Tim replied. "I have Mr. Blank for me lawyer, and what he doesn't know about the law I tells him." Battered Victory. Two costers were in the British museum, looking at the statue of a T7oman gladiator. One of its arms was broken off, his left leg ended at the knee, his helmet was battered and there were several chips from the face of the warrior. Under neath the statue was an inscription, "Victory." "Lor lumme.
