Advice etO Skatcrs

correspondent Of the London Times des-
cribes very simple little contrivance which he
recommends every skater to carry with him as a
precaution in case Of accident. "Having myself
been immersed" he writes, ''and knowing,
therefore, how exceedingly difficult it Is to
sistance ID sufficient, / can confidently venture
to assert that many fatal accidents
might be prevented if every skater carried in his
pocket piece of stout string or blind cord about
four yards long, and provided with small cross
pieces Of wood at each end In the event OF any
person falling through the ice, his companion, If
so provided, could lie down on the sound ice, and
throw his piece of cord to the man in the water,
who might manage by its aid to support himself
until further help arrived.r

TEARING DOWN THE FLAG (!

The turbulent element is the dsloyal element,
in the South. The chronic dsturbers OF the
peace, there, are those whose " Secesh spirit
was bred in the bone and fingers, yet, with more
OF less vital force. 1t is always encouraged and
warmed up by manifestations of Northern sym
pathy or weakness. Before the war, the dough-
face behavior of the Free States made Davis,
Toombs, and Yancey believe that Disunion would
be easy, and now the White Leaguers are being
similarly encouraged by the apparent tone of
Northern sentiment, as manifested in the New
York newspapers and at the meetings to "pro-
test against the course of the Administration
in Louisiana. They are warmed up into
new life at these tenders of sympa-
thy and aid, and they are hopeful that
hereafter they may do as they please--that
majority of the people repudiate the Presi-
dent, rebuke Sheridan, and want to shave
peace" with tine Leagaers on top.
To show how they feel over it, here are two
stanzas, as specimen bricks, which come from
their New Orleans organ, the Bulletin. The
the writer says
"Yes, tear 1t down. and lay Its folds
For ever meath the sod
Nor curse us more with mocSeres
And Tyrant's rule and rod.
''Let this be done, and we will raise
Our standard where 1t hung;
And notes of joy will rend the air
By patriot voices sung
AS we said at the outset, the rioters are the
rebels. There are"banditti and there are good
citizens In the South. We charge such utter
ances as the above to the former class, whose
fangs were clipped once, but do not appear to
have been drawn, and whose venom, when again
warmed by Northern encouragement, proposes
instantly to ''tear down" the flag Of the Union.
