Connecticut boasts the first law
sr irool itr the United States, started in
the town of Litchfield in early Revol-
utionary dars.Tl1e founder of the
school. and in after years chief justice
of the state. Tapping Reeve, came from
Long island and New Jersey after his
‘marriage to Sally Burr, the only’ sister
of Aaron Burr. A search that was
made among the arcbieves at the coun
ty seat recently brought to light some
interesting memorials of the celebrated
judge.

Almost anything that has the magic
“T. Reeve" attached is straight away
preserved for future reference in Lit-
chfleld. Several days ago an affida-
vit was discovered taken in the County
of Berkshire. It concerns a case in
which he was interested. Literally it
is a case of a family divided against
itself. The text, so far as it can be
deciphered runs as follows:—

“The most impressive idea i ever
gained of the magnitude of this great
country." said a political observer
‘was when 1 attended my first nation-

l‘ni convention and heard the roll of the

states called when a question of voting
came up. There, in the vast convert-
tion hall. decorated with the national
colors in sunbur‘sts and various other
designs. sat nearly a thousand dele-
gates from all parts of the land. and
surrounding them in the balconies.
which rose on every side of the spa-
cious auditorium. Were thousands of
interested spectators. i had a seat in

which cotrld be secured an unobstruct—

ence in congress and other delibera-
tive bodies knew how to make himself

Variety of Meanings.

There is much variety of urcutrtrrgs
of the names which have been bo-
stowed on the l‘or'tysix states and four
territories which make up the world-
cnuntr‘y known almost universally
abroad as The States. and which has
so overshadowed all other united
states. such as those-in South America.

whole, this is doubtless due to the
fact that an effort was rrrurl'c to recog-
nize some individual or to l‘(‘t‘lill an
older place of historic interest. Several

the destiny of colonies was to unite
with one another, throwing off the
yoke of tyranny inspired by out: of
their successors. Another was given
to the holder of an hereditary title.

“Here We Rest."

Tho meanings of some ol‘ the names
are expressive and significant. Ala-
bama, which leads all the others
when they are taken in alphabetical
order. is generally held to menu “lrct‘c
we rest.” it was the name of 1111
Indian tribe. and our: authority gives

the sigrriiicrrucc “burnt clearing." and
another "thicket clcar‘ct‘s.”

‘Arkuusns is not count-cred with
Kansas, as popularly supposed. and.

in fact. by many a different pronurr
ciation is given to it. the last. syllable
being sounded as it “saw." instead of
“Bus." Marquette and other French
explorers wrote the. work Alknnsns anti
Arkamca. One meaning given to it
is a "bow of smoky water." and au-
otlrer. “people. of. the smoky water."
Another derivative is from the. French
.‘arc-eu-sang" or “bioodybow.”

in an old Spanish romance the
name California was applied to an
island where many precious stones
were found. The name was given by
Cortcz. when he discovered tirer‘rr, to
the bay and what be. supposed to be
an island, and was extended by the
eat'lySpauisb settlers to "the notion
afterward secured from Mexico by
this country. After the. discovery of
gold the application of the name to

significance.

places known to the settlers in the
land from which they came. New

region was granted, in honor of his
native isle of Jersey, off the English
coast.

New York bears the name of the
