water was about two feet deep, where she
pulled him over backwards, sousing his head
under, and then pulling his head up again.

Fashionable Nicknames.

The other day, on looking over
marriages in a Boston paper it was
observed that the names of all the
brides in the list were made to end
with ie, and not one of said name:
was q proper one, according to old
fashioned notions, but were nick
names, or "babY Names" in con-
formity with the ''refned" tastes OF
the day. They were Carrie, Maggie,
Susie, Lizzie and last of all, Mollie.
The last, we suppose, is corrup-
ton of the beautiful name Mary,
for which the anathemas of the Vir-
gin Mary, if she ever pronounces
any, ought to fall on those who dis
play such refined shallowness.
Judging from the progress in this
line which we have been forced to
witness in the past, we may calculate
in few years, at the longest, that all
the pretty names of women which
have stood prominent for centuries
in English literature will be ban
ished entirely from the fashionable
part OF it.
Nicknames are net applied to the
male sex yet, to much extent, but ii
things progress, the probabilities are
that ere long we shall see the mar
riage of Mr.. Bu66ae Jones and Miss
SiSsie Smith.

A YANKEE Custom BORROWED BY
REBELs.-It may not be generally
known that the practice of decora-
ting the graves of the dead, which
now seems likely to become univer-
sal custom at the South, is a"Yankee
notion" first carried into effect by a
radical citizen Of Boston, in Charles
ton, South Carolina. The Superin
tendent Of the Public Schools, imme-
diately after the fall of Charleston,
obtained permission from General
Hatch to tear down certain buildings
(erected by the Confederate govern
ment for the purpose of manufac-
turing saltpeter), in order to build a
fence around the graves of our sol
diers who perished on the race
course from hunger, cold and disease.
A party of colored carpenters and
laborers volunteered to erect it, and
fine fence was put up, while over
the gate was painted in large letters,
MARTYRS of the Race Course"
On May-day, last year, the entlre
colored population of Charleston
turned out with flowers, which they
strewed over the graves of our sol
diers, nearly three hundred of whom
had been buried in trenches near the
race course. The graves were COW
cred two or three feet deep with
roses and other flowers. This beau
tiful ceremony has now been adopted
by the rebel women, in order to do
honor to their lost cause and lost
soldiers.

JEFF Davis In New York.

The N. Y. Post makes JEFF Davis
late visit to that city the occasion for
the following plain remarks to him
and his friends:
Our streets are still full of wound
ed and crippled soldiers-the marks
ofhis crime. Thousands of our citi-
zens have seen the shattered wrecks
turned over to us from the loathsome
Libby Prison; the poor, famished
and frozen fellows who came home
from the horrible pen of Belle Isle
to die, or 10 live out a few painful
years of suffering. All know that
these foul prisons were not at great
distance, hut under the very eve of
Davis; when he looked out of his
bedroom windows every morning
he saw our starving soldiers at Belle
Isle; when he rode out fol- his pleas
ure or health, he rode by the Libby.
Nor was his malignant heart content
even to thus starve and freeze to
death our soldiers, but he added in
suit to his tortures: "Do you not all
know" said he at Columbia on the
4th of October, 1864, ''do you net all
know that the only way to make
spaniels civil is 10 whip them? Does
any man believe, that Yankees are
to be conciliated by terms of conces-
sion? Does any man imagine that
we can conquer Yankees by retreat
ing before them--or do you not all
know that the only way to make
spaniels civil is to whip them?"
tits part of his spaniel" theory to
come at once to New York, when he is
released. Let his friends, of whom
he appears to have some in high
places, warn him to be prudent. He
has no business here, he has no right
to walk our streets, to faunt himself
IN the faces of the widows and er-
phans his crime and his stiff necked
persistence in crime made. Let him
stink away, over by-roads, in a close
carriage, to some obscure and un-
known spot, and there hide himself.
