Tenn., May 15.—While the das when every steamboat and every rier man had i nickyame have passed. many of the boats still are dubbed unofficially namey by the ne- groes who work around the levees and the boats. According to Captain J. W. Hipple, one of the oldest river men in Memphiy and one Who has handled steamboats from Pittsburg to New Orleans, and Captain F. W. Davis, wharf master, thirty years ago every steamboat and every riverman had a nickname. The practice came into use among the negroes soon after the war. At that time each boat was given a name Which corresponded with some pecu- liax ‘construction or physical charac- teristic- off the boat. | . "Mén Also Nieknamed. > _Following the practice of nicknam. ing the bokts the whife river men be. gan to give each other names chir- acteristic of their gersonalities. This practice copfinued for many pd.then Pegan to decline mbeat men im Mater yehrs were referred to by their titles rather than by nicknames. While the fashion ot ! giving nicknames to the rivermen be- gan to die out the custom of calling the boats by unotficlal names has continded up to the present time though not{with the samé preva-' lence it onte Had. Let a new boat with some marked peculiarity appear on, the river and immediately the ne. groes will' dub it with a name in keeping with that characteristic which will last longer than the boat ever will, Called “Broad Horn.” The latest illustration of the prac- fice was, shown when the excursion Steamer G. W. Robertsen came ‘to Immediately the levee negroes cilled it the ‘‘Broad Horn" {hecause ofithe wide space between the smokestacls, and the “Broad Horn™ it will renmin among the negroes un- itil long aftér it ceases to be a steam- boat. Othe boats now running on the river which possess nicknames among the negroes are the Whisper, called the |“Speak Easy’ the Fera Herold, called “Old Iron Jaw” be- cause of the steel construction, and the Stacker Lee, called the ‘Stack o' Dollars.] " Just hoy. the Charles H. Organ gets the nime of “Johnny Crossover’’ ‘Is told by/Captain Davis. Before .ths' old_Organ was put into. the Moun& City, Ark, ferry business thé side’ wheel stegmer John Overton was per- forming that service. On account of: the numerous croés river trips which the Overton made the negroes re- | terred, tocher as the “Johnny Cross- over.” ‘When the Overton was suc- cebded by the Organ it left behina ite nickname, and jtoday When a levee negro sees the Ofgan coming down stream ‘he will say “Dar comes de ‘Johnny 'Crossover.’ (‘ TRADE AT HOME, Rep.
