Oaks have started work, the fall has
been but a third of normal. The Sac

f
NICKNAMES CAUSE WAR
England's King Once Grew Furious
at an Opproblous Title.
London Globe.
The history of nicknames would be
an enormous compilation, for It would
be the history of the human race. The
most ancient chronicles contain notable
examples, and, doubtless, prehistoric
man. the lake dweller, the cave man,
thus dubbed his neighbor. None have
escaped, from the highest in the land
to the lowest. Kings and statesmen,
saints and sinners, poets, playwrights.
W)ts all have had these "eke.names."
In classical history we find that even
Socrates, that most dignified sage, did
not escape, for he was nicknamed "Flat
nose," while Plato, more fortunate, re
ceived a flattering nickname, for he is
called the "Attic Bee," a graceful trib
ute to hla literary, style.
Julius Caesar, in spite of his military
fame and his high position, was labeled
for all time with an added name, for
he was known in his day as "Bald
Head."
The Faxon Kings received distin
guishing nicknames, from which we are
able to learn something of their char
acter, or. at least, the popular estima
tion of it of their day, for example
Kthelred, who was called the "Un
ready." Their Norman successors had
each a nickname, commencing with
the first of that line, who was grand
iloquently called the "Conqueror."
It was. Indeed, a nickname which was
the cause of his last war. and which
led to his death, for the French King
had dubbed him with a nickname re
ferring so coarsely to his great cor
pulence that William was furious, and
determined to wipe out the insult with
blood.
Sometimes the nickname is self-bestowed,
as waa the case with Dickens,
whose nom de plume was "Bos," a con
traction of Moses pronounced through
the nose. A somewhat similar reason
was ,the cause of the nickname of
Prince Jerome Napoleon. "Plon-plon"
being his childish pronunciation of
Napoleon.
Few men have been more labeled
with nicknames than Oliver Cromwell,
many of them, to say the least, uncom
plimentary ones, which can scarcely be
wondered at when party feeling ran so
high. "Old Noll," "Copper Face." the
"Brewer," are familiar examples. Na
poleon Bonaparte, too. had many nick
names, many of them bestowed in ad
miration and devotion by his soldiers,
such as the playfully ironic "Little
Corporal": while on the other side of
the Silver Streak he was known by
less complimentary sobriquets.
"Old Boney" was then a bogey at the
mention of whom more than merely
children were terrified and grew pale:
while many pious persons even believed
that he waa the "Beast" mysteriously
referred to in the Book of Revelations
under the name of "666," and many In
genious attempts were made to show
that the letters of his name could be
transmuted Into this number.
In this connection it Is interesting to
recall that the House of Commons was
once known as the "Beast," from the
fact that It consisted at that time of
666 members. Napoleon's great rival
and victor had many nicknames. Many
of these "The Duke of Waterloo,"

"The Iron Duke" bids fair to survive
even his statue.
FALL OF FORT DONELSON
One Object Lesson of "Unconditional
Surrender Grant."
James Barnes In Harper's.
The Confederates, buoyed up by hope
of a success, had planned an advance
tn force upon their besiegers, and
early in the morning of the loth Gen
eral Pillow, with 10,000 men, who were
soon strengthened by 8000 under Gen
eral Buckner. fell upon McClernand's
line. A bitter conflict followed: run
ning short of ammunition and assailed
vigorously. McClernand's men fell
back. Had the Confederates known
it at that moment, the road to Nash
illlr was open and the whole garrison
might have made its escape: but Pil
low hesitated, thinking he had defeat
ed the whole of Grant's army, and fn
the nick of time the Federal commander-in-chief,
coming up, saw thst
the tables must be turned. Without
hesitstion he ordered an advance of
ell his available troops against the
Confederate left, t'nder the command
of General C. F. Smith, a veteran of
the regular army, the regiments swept
on. and, reinforced by the men of Lew
Wallace's division, carried the fortt-
double
attraction

fied slopes and rifle pits. ' Now for the
first time the Confederate generals
saw they were outnumbered. The way
of escape had been completely sealed.
Retiring to their inner works, they
perceived to their dismay that from
the position which Smith had taken,
the heavy batteries that were being
brought up completely controlled the
inside of the fort.
General Floyd, who had been a mem
ber of President Buchanan's cabinet,
was under a Federal indictment, and
determined that at all hazards he must
make his escape. Passing the com
mand to Pillow, he managed to cross
the river with most of his Virginia
troops, and soon after General Pillow
followed suit In the darkness, again
passing on the command to General
Buckner. Colonel Forrest, the cavalry
leader, with a few hundred mounted
men, managed to ride away up the
river-bank before daylight.
Just after dawn Buckner made a des
perate sally in an effort to break tho
cordon surrounding him. but. being re
pulsed, and perceiving the uselessness
of further resistance, he sent a note
under a flag of truce, asking what
terms would be granted him, and by
his reply the Federal leader won his
nickname of "Unconditional Surrender"
Grant. Buckner was forced to accept
the ultimatum and surrendered Fort
Donelson, with all its stores and am
munition and 14,000 men.
