Rip Ford's Surrender.

Colonel rip" Ford is admitted to
have been gallant officer, u thorough
gentleman and brave man, but sur
render mas to be recorded against him
that has not yeta place in history. 1t
occurred recently, aye, Yesterday, at
the springs, when the gallant colonel
surrendered-a child-he was carrying,
and gladly, too, into the arms of its
mother.
Many enquiries are made as to the
meaning of the term rip" as applied to
Colonel Ford's name. The Ttx as Sift-
ings recently explained it by saying that
when Rip was young and prominent
fighter, the newspapers, in dull times,
were always killing him and publishing
his obituary, ending with X. 1. F., the
abbreviated form OF "ReQuescat en-
pace" Thus in time the subject became
known as rip The Slftings, as usual,
is more humorous than accurate. The
Colonels name is John Ford, but owing
to his dash and vim, General Tom Green
called him rip" and that name has so
stuck to him that if he is addressed or
introduced by his proper name, he loses
his identity.
