NICKNAMES IN THE ARMY.
How They Were Given to the Gener
als During the Rebellion.
The manner in which nick
names attach to people and the
clawlike tenacity with which they
cling are really an interesting
study. They are usually called
out by some peculiar personal
characteristic, and in their "meet
ness or unmeetness" lies quite
often as much pain as pleasure.
The nomenclature of the army
was particularly rich in descrip
tive titles, and a study of the men
upon whom these names were be
stowed will make clear the fact
that very few of them were illad
vised or misplaced.
General Ulysses SimpsonGrant
was at first called "Old United
States" from the initials of his
name. After the little episode at
Fort Donelson, when he issued
the edict which stamped him.as
equal to the emergency, his men
enthusiastically declared that
those initials stood for "Uncondi
tional Surrender." In fact, those
initials cost him not a little per
turbation of mind, and in the end
he actually had to abandon his
baptismal name to save the digni
ty of West Point, which unwitt
ingly gave him a name that didn't
belong to him, but since it was
"writ down" the red tape compli
cations involved in restoring his
right name presented formidable
obstacles which he hesitated to
tackle. Many of his men called
him "Old Three Stars," that in
dicating his rank as lieutenant
general. Later, when fighting
the battle with the conqueror who
soon or late subdues all flesh, he
became known the world over as
the "Silent Sufferer." .
General William T. Sherman
was familiarly called "Uncle Bil
ly" by his men and also "Old Te
cumseh." General George B. McClellan,
who was a prime favorite with his
men, became endeared to them
as "Little Mac."
General George G. Meade wore
glasses and was speedily dubbed
"Four-Eyed George" from that
and from the fact that he was
keen and quick and very little es
caped his observation. The title
was one of which he was proud,
for lie knew it was not designed
to cut t wo ways.
General Ambrose E. Burnside,
who relieved McClellan as com
mander of the Army of the Potoj
mac, was at first Colonel of the
First Rhode Island, but when he
came to the dignity of general he
was titled "Khody." Incidentally
it may be stated that General
Burnside also gave the name to
tho particular cut of "side burns"
so much in vogue a few years
since. "Tho general with his
whiskers" was considered a very
handsome figure.
General Jos eph E. Hooker got
the sobriquet "Fighting Joe"
which ho hated generally, and the
man who was spoiling for a 'scrap'
could earn it easily by alluding to
the doughty general'8 title in his
presence.
General Lew Wallace was called
"Louisa," not that his men deem
ed hi tn effeminate, but because
they wanted someendearingtern;
for a general to whom they were
devotedly attached, and that was
the first that suggested itself.
The McCook family was well
represented in tho war of the lie
bellion, and tho various members
were geuerally bunched as the
"Fighting McCooks." General
Alexauder McCook had as one of
his staff officers Adjutant General
Dan McCook, of Illinois. Other
members of the family were Cap
tain Edwin McCook, who belong
ed to Logan's regiment; Lieuten
ant Edward McCook, who was in
the Regular army; Major Anson
G. McCook of the Second Ohio;
Captain Henry McCook, of Illi
nois, and Sheldon McCook, lieu
tenant in the navy. They bore
themselves bravely and won the
title "Fighting McCooks" where
the battle raged fiercest.
General Winfield Scott Han
cock was known as "Hancock the
Superb" a name given him by
General Meade after the magnifi
cent manner in which he repuls
ed Longstreet at Gettysburg.
General William S. Rosecraus
was speedily dubbed "Rosy."
Franz Sigel, the jolly German
general, was familiarly known as
"Dutchy."
A Doctor's Bad Plight.
"Two years ago, as a result of
a severe cold, I lost my voice,"
writes Dr. M. L. Scarbrough, of
Hebron, Ohio, "then began an ob
stinate cough. Every remedy
known to me as a practicing phy
sician for 35 years, failed, and I
daily grew worse. Being urged
to try Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds, I found quick relief.and for
the last ten days have felt better
than for two years." Positively

Death of a Millionaire Colored Man.
Colonel John McKee, who died
Sunday night last at his residence
1030 Lombard street, Philadel
phia, as the result of a paralytic
stroke, was one of the wealthiest
colored men in this country. His
estate is said to be valued between
1,500,000 and 2,000,000. At the
time of his death he owned in
Philadelphia over 300 houses, all
of which were unencumbered.
He was the founder and owner of
McKee City, on the West Jersey
Railroad, N. J., and he owned a
tract of 4,500 acres, divided into
twenty one farms. He also own
ed about 300,000 acres of coal and
oil lands in Kentucky and West
Virginia, and 23,000 acres of land
in Bath and Steuben couuties, N.
Y.
McKee was born at Alexandria,
Virginia, in 1821. When a mere
lad he was indentured as a brick
maker in Virginia. Having fin
ished his apprenticeship in the
brick yard, ho went to Philadel
phia, when about 21 years of age,
andsecured a position in a restaur
ant on Market street. He after
ward became proprietor of the
restaurant and conducted it until
18(50, when he retired from that
business and entered actively up
on the real estate business, buy
ing and selling property for him
self. He speculated largely in
real estate and made money rap
idly. He is survived by a daugh
ter and six grandsons.
The Great Dismal Swamp.
Of Virginia isabreeding ground
of Malaria germs. So is low, wet
or marshy ground everywhere.
These germs cause weakness,
chills and fever.aches in the bones
aud muscles, and may induce dau
gerous maladies. Hut Electric
Bitters never fail to destroy them
and cure malaria troubles. They
will surely prevent typhoid. "We
tried many remedies for Malaria
and Stomach and Liver troubles,"
writes John Charleston, of Byes
ville, O., "but never found any
thing as good as Electric Bitters. "

Foley's Honey and Tar
for chUdren.sae.aure. JVo opiates.
A Story of Lincoln.
Dr. D. B. Hill, who lived in
Springfield 111., from 1830 to 1843
tells this characteristic story of
Abraham Lincoln, with whom ho
was personally acquainted : Ouco
Lincoln was defending a man who
was accused of cheatiug another
man in a business deal. Lincoln
was arguing before tho jury that
his client had no intention to de
fraud when the transaction occur
ed; in fact, he never thought ho
was cheating the man. Pointing
his finger at Judge Logan, his
partner, he said : "Any boy you
meet in the street knows how to
put on his clothes. Now all know
that Judge Logan is learned in
law, and nobody would accuse
him of doing wrong. You will ob
serve he has his shirt on with the
wrong side in front. Now, the
Judge never intended to do that
when ho put his shirt on. If my
client has done anything wrong,
he never intended to do so any
more than Judge Logan intended
to put on his shirt with the back
in front." Sure enough, Judge
Logan had his shirt on wrong,
and the use Lincoln made of his
partner's mistake in dress caus
ed the client to get off free.
Chronic Bronchitis Cured.
"For ten years I had chronic
brouchitis so bad that at times I
could not speak above a whisper,"
writes Mr. Joseph Coffman, of
Montmorenci, Iud. "I tried all
remedies available, but with no
success. Fortunately my employ
er suggested that I try Foley's
Honey and Tar. Its effect was al
most miraculous, and I am now
cured of the disease. On my rec
ommendation many people have
used Foley's Honey and Tar, and
always with satisfaction." All

Solved the Tramp Problem.
"I think I have solved the tramp
problem in a perfectly satisfac
tory way," said the New Jersey
farmer as the subject was under
discussion. "It did no good what
ever to put up signs warning
them off or to keep a bulldog at
the gate. I tried all that, and last
spring I made a change. I put
up signs for three miles around
reading, "Tramps Please Call at
the Baker Farm, "and "All tramps
Welcomed at Baker's," and the
result is that not over three of
them have called. The other day,
to show you how it works, a tramp
came along and looked things ov
er and said to me :
" 'Any constables hidden in the
barn V
" 'Not a one,' I replied.
" 'How many bulldogs you got?'
'"None at all.'
" 'Got a lot of spring guns or
bear traps set about the place ?'
'"Nothing of the kind.'
" 'Has a feller got to do a day's
work to get a meal ?'
" 'No work at all You come
right in, and I will give you a
square meal for nothing, and if
you want to stay all night I'll give
you the best bed in the house.'
"He looked at me in a puzzled
way for about a minute," contiu
ued tho farmer, "aud then indulg
ed in a wink and said :
" 'You can't play that little
game on me, old man. This is
my sixteenth year on the road
" 'But what game ?' I asked.
" Tutting poison in the milk
and selling our cadavers to a raed
ical college for 5 apieco. Oh, no,
Mr. Baker not this eve !' "Hal

Saved His Life By Repartee.
A Pontine roofer 'saved his life
recently by his aptness at repar
tee. He was out on the roof of the
iusane asylum at Pdntiac making
some repairs, within a foot of the
eaves. Suddenly tho noise of his
hammer was interrupted by a
voice behind him, calmly saying;
"Well, come ou! Lot's jump
down together."
Tue roofer turned aud saw a
maniac standing behind him. The
glitter iu the madman's eye made
the roofer look with a feeling of
dread at the ground below, realiz
ing that there was no escape.
The roofer concealed his fright
a moment. He even smiled con
temptuously as he looked into the
maniac's face.
"Huh!" he remarked. "Any
blamed fool could jump down.
But let's go down and try to jump
up!"
"Say, that's an idea!" exclaim
ed the insane man. "Come on.
Let's go down and try it!" And
lie led the way to the trap door in
the roof.
