Origin of the Banjo and Joe Sweeney’s Era
A historical reminiscence traces banjo origins to a gourd drum with horsehair strings and notes early players among African Americans. It recounts Joe Sweeney and his brother Sam around 1842 at Prince Edward Court House, highlighting Sweeney’s vocal talent, stage presence, poverty at death, and popularity he brought to the banjo. Sam served in the cavalry. General Stuart enjoyed his tunes.

Hyphed Names in Europe See Two Classes of Hyphenation
European hyphenated names split into two groups. Some arise from legal obligation tied to inheritance or marriage, especially among legatees and heiresses. Others are mere pretensions, with the added name prefixed to imply ancient lineage, as in examples like Montmorency-Smith or Plantagenet-Robinson. The piece cites Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr. Ponsonby Jones in illustrating the distinction.
