An old bachelor editor thus, in his
spite, comments on recent moonlight
incident: "We left our sanctum at
midnight last night, and on our way
home we saw young lady and gentle
man holding gate on its hinges.
They we're evidently indignant at be-

of our fashionable young ladies have
adopted nicknames which they use on
their cards, preferring to be known by

and Edmuuds, and even Conklin,
though the latter, it is said, wants the
reversion-a Judge Hunt, of Utica,
New York, being his choice. The
name of Associate Justice Miller is also
favorably mentioned.
