'Constantinople, interrupted Dr. Hansen. 'That is an old joke of Hansen's, explained the merchant. 'He has re-christened the Northern Athens the Northern Constantinople, because he thinks there are too many dogs. 'It is good for the dog-tax, said some one. 'Yes, if the dog-tax were not so inequitably fixed, snapped Dr. Hansen.
The popular imagination, identifying him with his work, has re-christened the institution; and, spite of its legal title, its familiar designation is almost invariably the "Agassiz Museum." Mr. Gray's legacy started a movement which became every day more active and successful.
During the next two marches, however, the ponies, in spite of rather bad surfaces, did wonderfully well, and both Jehu and Chinaman began to be regarded with real admiration, Jehu being re-christened 'The Barrier Wonder' and Chinaman 'The Thunderbolt. Again Scott began to take a hopeful view of getting through, unless the surfaces became infinitely worse.
This resulted in the selection of Hiram and Ulysses, and the boy was accordingly called Hiram Ulysses Grant until the United States government re-christened him in a curious fashion many years later. To his immediate family, however, he was always known as Ulysses, which his playmates soon twisted into the nickname "Useless," more or less good-naturedly applied.
It was here they found, some twenty years ago, a fine marble head described as a Venus, and now preserved in the local museum.

The space under the seats of the Argo II, as she was temporarily re-christened, was stowed full of "supper makin's," for they planned to stay until after nightfall.
A spot for the hut was chosen on a beach facing northwest and well protected behind by numerous small hills; but the most favorable circumstance of all in connection with this cape, which was re-christened Cape Evans, was the strong chance of communication being established at an early date with Cape Armitage.
A Mr. Hayden purchased the old ship from a Dunkirk firm and re-christened her La Liberte, loaded her with oil and consigned her, under French colours, to Gibbs and Canning at Newport.
After the ships parted, Baudin continued along the south coast, already surveyed by Flinders, which he re-christened Napoleon's Land, and in Peron's narrative no reference at all is made to Flinders' prior investigation. The French claim to the discovery and names of these shores was not received in France until after the publication of Flinders' book, which took place the day after his death.
