The origin Of the tune or words of
Yankee Doodle is 10y no means clear.
Same ascribe the tune to n DR.. Shack
burg. who is said to have composed it in
1855. in derision of tae old-fashioned
equipment of the colonial soldiers. Some
English writers say that both words and
tune were written in Cromwelrs time.
bat that Yankee Doodle was their Nam
kee Doodle, and applied to Oliver Crom-
well, referring TO his entrance into Ok
ford, wearing in his hat a single plume
fastened in a knot called a macaroni.
The words were first applied to the colo
nists when the British marched out OF
Boston before the battle of Lexington,
playing the tune in contempt. The Brit
ish were afterward told they had been
made to dance to it, and from that time
it became popular with tae Americans.

The Charleston News and Courier gives
the following explanation of the recent
Confederate bond craze: Judah P. Ben
iaman, Secretary of State of the Confed-
eracy from 1862 until its collapse, was
originator of the plan by which a de-
mand was created for the bonds. At
different times the Confederate Congress
voted large sums for secret service, the
principal deposits being in London and
Paris banks. The funds were placed to
the credit of citizens of Great Britain
and France who were friendly to the
South At the close of the war there
was an unexpended balance of $5,0S0,
600. Mr.. Benjamin consulted with these
agents as to the disposition of this money,
and it was agree that it should not be
surrendered. The question was then how
TO disburse the mony so as to benefit
those entitled to it. 1t was concluded
that the people who had given their
names to the Confederacy for its bonds
were entitled TO the money, aud the
bonds were advertised for, and to cover
the real object of the movement it was
limited that the bond were to be held by
spectators, and that suit was to be insti-
tuted gainst the United States for their
Davmeut

THE BLOODY SHIRT.
THE POTENT GARMENT THAT
CARRIED OHIO.

A Genuine Bloody Shirt Displayed
in Columbus and Almost, Causing
Riot.
A few days after the election in
Ohio, the following dispatch was sent
from Columbus by the Associated
Press:
Soon after noon to-day some one
caused to be strung across Broad
street in front Of the Democratic
headquarters. a bloody shirt with the
Inscription, "New North. New South.
A new deal. The last of the bloody
shirt" 1t is said thaba Grand Army
man called and gave the committee a
half hour.to have the shirt taken
down. AS this was being done man
from the Republican headquarters
grabbed the shirt and after soaking it
with kerosine, returned and burned it
in front of the Democratic headquart-
ers.
A crowd of several hundred persons
gathered, and the greatest excitement
ensued. The counsels of cooler heads
prevailed, and after much loud talk
and threats the crowd dispersed. The
yelling caused the people to leave
their business, while many locked
their doors. The Republicans de-
nounce the display of the shirt as an
insult, and both sides are condemned
for participating i'll the move which
in the present political fever heat
might have led to great loss of life
and property.
Western sentinel. [volume] (Winston [i.e. Winston-Salem], N.C.) 1856-1886, 1885-10-29

ty." The crowd hissed the attorney
who had been disrespectful to witness
es all through the trial-aEd the Judge
derstand that the court did not Justify
his conduct.
In Massachusetts, new rule has
been adopted which is said to have for
one of its chief objects the better pro-
lection Of witnesses. The fatigue which
the lawyer is thus obliged to endure
materially shortens the examinations
and saves many impudent and foolish
questions by which the legal gentle
men befuddle and annoy witnesses.
In this State the lawyer may sit at
his ease and proceed with various and
sundry questions, oft times 9uibbles
upon unimportant matters, until he
destroys the patience of the jurors and
witnesses, and by getting the latter
mad frequently obtains a statement
that he can twist and distort into
meaning something other than what
was3intended, thereby casting doubt
upon the witnesses whole testimony.
We never thought that abuse of wit
nasses improved case. There are
Gases where tie sympathies of the ju-
rors have been excited for the assault
ed and against the assailant All ju-
rors are not always endowed with
clearness of judgement or an abund-
ance of wisdom, and they not unfre-
quently regard the conduct of the at
torney as legal cunning, and smile
upon his abuse of witnesses.
Our courts would command greater
respect from all parties if they would
compel lawyers who are guilty of this
practice to treat witnesses with com
| mon civility. Any other course only
lowers the dignity of the court. Wit
nesscs have rights that ought to be re-
spected and not abused and ridiculed
because their only crime is that they
are compelled by law to go upon the
| witness stand.

ABUSE OF WITNESSES.
Lawyers Who Take Undue Advantage
OF their Position.
From the Goldsbero argus.

FTos the GoLds60ro Argus
From our observation, in many of
the different courts of our State, for
several years past, we have noticed a
tendency among some of our practic-
ing lawyers to assume that they are
privileged to act as meanly as they
Know how, to the persons who are SO
unfortunate as to come before them as
witnesses. They take advantage of
their position and the protection af-
forded by the court, and many unof-
Tending witnesses are shamefully
abused.
In St Louis the other day, one of
these abusive lawyers received we'll
merited rebuke. In the trial of case
he sneeringly referred to Johnny
Bull witness" and was promptly in
terrupted by one of the jurymen, who
said, che was an Englishman and did
not see why Johnny Bull witness
was not entitled to as much considera-
tion as a man of any other nationali-
had the good sense not to interfere in
behalf of the lawyer, but let him un-
