"MY NAME Is HAINEs."-There are thou
sands of people in this country who make
use OF the common expression " Ny nam
IS NdincS,' when they are about leaving g
place or patty suddenly, yet few know from
whence the expression is derived. A more
conmo saying, or one in more general use
has never been got up. We hear it in Maine
and in Georgia, in Maryland and in Arkan.
saS; it is in the mouths of the old and the
young, the grave and tie gay-in short,
My name is Haines," enjoys a popularity
which no other slang or cant phrase has ever
attained. "l'm OPP h,"' | must mizzle,' :.
must make myself s~:arcc," are frequently
used, but the expression which heads this ar.
ticle leaves them all out Of sight. Having
said this much of the reputation of the
phrase. be it our next care 10 give its origin.
Some thirty-five years since 4 gentleman
named Haines was travelling on horseback
in the vicinity of Mr.. Jefferson's residence
in Virginia. Party spirit was running ex-
trernely high in those days. Mr.. Jefferson
was President, and Haines was a rank fed
e~ralISt, and, as 4 matter of course, a bitter
opponent Of the then existing administra-
tio. and lis head. He was not acquainted
with Mr.. Jefferson. and, accidenilv coming
up with that gentleman. who on horseback.
his party zeal soon led him into a conversa-
ton upon the all-a5sorbing topic. In the
course Of. the conversation IIaines took par
ticular pains TO abuse NJ. Jefferson, called
him al SORTS Of hard names, run down eve-y

tor with the greatest bitterness. Mr.. JET
ferson, all the while, said but little. There
waS no such thing as getting away from his
particular friend, and he did not exactly feel
at liberty to combat his arguments.
They finally arrived in front of Mr.. JEFF
~ferson's residence. Haines. of course. not
acquainted with the fact. Notwithstanding
he had been villifed and abused 'iike n pick
pocket" to use an old saying. Mr.. Jefferson
still, with true Virginia hospitality and po.
l~iieness. invited his travelling complnion t"
