At ten o'clock we still had a good many melons; but toward noon business became very brisk, and at one o'clock only six melons were left. In honor of this crop we rechristened the old haymaker the "cantaloupe coaxer." There was so much to do at the old farm that we rarely found time to play games.
The result of this was that within a fortnight of our arrival we were at sea again, with the little ship rechristened by the name of the Tern smelling outrageously of fresh paint, to the unmitigated disgust of the thirty- six stout fellows who were quartered in her forecastle.
She sighed, and Sampson generalised; he plunged from the seaside novel into the sea of fiction. He rechristened that joyous art Feckshin, and lashed its living professors. "You devour their three volumes greedily," said he, "but after your meal you feel as empty as a drum; there is no leading idea in 'um; now there always is in Moliere; and he comprehended the midicine of his age.
He acquitted himself beautifully and received the wise congratulations of his mother, of Mr. Irving, and of the company." That is the nicest newspaper notice I have ever read! At Chicago I made my first speech. The Haverley Theater, at which we first appeared in 1884, was altered and rechristened the "Columbia" in 1885.
Had the Hitachi arrived in Germany, she would have been rechristened the Luchs, the name of a former German war vessel with which the Prize Captain had had associations. The Igotz Mendi had left Lourenço Marques on November 5th, and was due at Colombo on the 22nd.

The city, together with its environs, was converted into a federal district and became solely and distinctively the national capital. Its public buildings, railways, and telegraph service, as well as the provincial debt, were taken over by the general Government. The seat of provincial authority was transferred to the village of Ensenada, which thereupon was rechristened La Plata.
Moreover, his lawyers had at last yielded to his urgent entreaties and had allowed him to buy a small sailing yacht. She was not a racing craft, or remarkably smart in any way, but she was his own, and the joy of possession was supreme. He rechristened her The Kittiwake, painting in her new name with much satisfaction, and he made trial trips in her along the coast as far as Port Sennen.
The Suffragette rechristened itself Britannia, dropped the War Baby agitation, and, after an interlude of self-control, broke out into denunciations, first of this public servant and then of that, as traitors and German spies.
Everyone has heard of the oldest inhabitant that wonderful piece of antiquity, with white hair, garrulous tongue, and cast-iron memory, -who was born with the present century very often before it and remembers George III, the Battle of Waterloo, and the invention of the steam-engine. But in Australia, the oldest inhabitant is localized, and rechristened an early settler.
