popular Airs.
pom the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Has been a big change in the char
ter of tbe popular song of late years.
Xowadavs a song must be set to lively
-sic, and have ridiculous, or, at least,
nonsensical words, to catch the notice of
tfe masses. Years ago this was not true,
pte Irish and German dialect song was un
fc-ow-c and, had it been known, would have
W ith a cold reception. What the peo
,e waa ted was something sad and melan
-o]y_ words that seem to have been written
to be sung to the air of a funeral march.
j. ese were the popular things, and the pub
lic would have nothing else. The young
men and the young womon of the day
would gather about the old square piano
,„d witn tears in their eyes lament the fate
and some departed person. The songs were
.1, sentimental, and the number of ‘dar-
J ‘ and ••dears" used in their composition
would have caused a modern song writer
K, shudder. One of the old songs was
shout ‘'Darling Katy’s Grave.” Raymond
Moore, the tenor, who was with George
Thatcher’s minstrels at Macaulsy’s theater
recently it will be recalled, sang it by spe
cial request, and sang it beautif lly, too.
It was considered one of the best songs ever
written, and part of it was as follows:
O I'm kneeling by tny grave. Katy darling,
This world is all a blank to me.
C couldst thou hear my waning. Katy darling;
O taint, love, I’m sighing for thee.
0 metbinks the stars are weeping.
By their soft and lambent light,
And thou my heart would be melting, Katy
darling, . ... ....
Couldst taou see thy love this sad night.
O listen, sweet Katy:
for the wild flowers aro sleeping, Katy dar-
And the'Sone birds are singing on each tree.
Mill thou nevermore hear me. Katy darling?
0 know, love, I’m kneeling by thee.
This was a touching poem, and the music
was as sad and heartrending as the words.
TVith its "O’s” and its “darlings” it caught
the public fancy and had an enormous popu
larity, as was testified by the score of paro
dies of it which were brought into existence.
Katy was only one instance of the fact that
to make a song popular some fifty years ago
the heroine must be dead. “Katy Darling”
was dead, and her musical obituary was
sold all over the country.
Then “Fair Ella Lee” died. Nobody ever
thought of singing a song about Ella when
she was alive, but as soon as she died hun
dreds of people sat down to their pianos
and proceeded to give directions about the
funeral. It must have taken some time to
find the grave they wanted, for, as can be
seen from the following selection, the
mourners were very particular. The words
of the song commenced:
Lay her where the woodbine clingeth
To the dark magnolia tree,
Where the breeze low music bringeth
From the bosom of the sea.
With a sorrowful emotion
Lay her where sweet violets be,
Where the leaves keep gentle motion
To the breathing of the sea.
There lay her; there leave her,
Our young Kiln Lee.
Ever blooming as the summer,
Ever humming like the bee.
We believed her some bright being
From the land where angels be;
We have lost her—ever lost her—
Our poor Ella, Elia Lee.
Whether Ella ever was buried in the spot
where her admirers thought she should be,
is a mystery. Beyond the eong, nothing
was ever heard of Ella, and up to the pres
ent time no one has ever seen her grave or
read the notice of her funeral in the papois.
Next Nelly died. Nellv’s name is un
known, but she is dead. The song says so:
In the hazel dell my Nelly’s sleeping,
Wnere the flowers wave;
And the sil->nt stars at e nightly weeping
O’er poor Nelly's grave.
Hopes that once my bosom fondly cherished.
Smile on me no more;
Every dream of joy, alas! has perished,
Nelly, dear, with thee.
This song also had a chorus, and It went
as follows:
All alone my watch I’m keeping,
In the hazel dell.
For my darling Nelly’s near me sleeping,
Nelly, dear, farewell.
The stars must have had a busy time in
those days. Thev wept for "Katv darling”
and they wept for “Nelly dear.” Singing
of Nelly, there was another Nelly—Nelly
Gray—who was an old-time favorite. Her
Bad fate was lamented frequently in days
gone by, and is still sung occasionally in the
present time. This song was much better
than most of the old ones, and that is prob
ably the reason why it has survived until
now. About the time that Nelly Gray was
taken to Georgia Lilia Dale died, and old
time lovers cried over her in this style:
We smoothed down the locks
Of her soft golden hats.
And placed her hands on her breast.
And laid her in the valley so fair,
'Mid the blossoms of summer to rest,
There O, rest Lilia, rest,
No cares can assail.
For green grows the turf
O’er the tear-moistened grave
Of the fairest flower of the vale.
Ellen Bane was the next victim of the
song writers. The words do not make it
clear as to whether or not Ellen was dead,
but if she was not it was very improper for
the young man “to be lingering by her
side.” The song goes:
Soft be thy slumbers; rude cares depart;
' noons In numbers cheer thy young heart,
bleeping or waking, in pleasure or pain,
Warm hearts shall beat for thee.
Sweet Ellen Bane.
Gentle slumbers ’round thee glide;
breams of beauty ’round thee bide;
while I linger by thy side,
Sweet Ellen Bane.
“The Old Cabin Home” was almost the
first of the negro sougs which, later on, be
came so popular. There was no attempt at
dialect in it, and though the meter was
bad, the air and the pathos in the words
caused it to have a big run. The familiar
chorus runs:
Here lies my old cabin home;
Here lies my sister and my brother;
as 6 i!®* my w He, she was the joy of my life,
ana the child in the grave with its mother.
Sentiment was a great thing in the old
aa ys, and young men and women used to
gather in back parlors and wonder whether
mey were missed at home. Usually they
expressed themselves like this:
bo they miss me at home, do they miss me
Twould be an assertion most dear
10 know that this moment some loved one
"as saving I wish he were here,
u- that tae group at the fireside
"as thinking of me as I roam,
’twould be joy beyond measure
To know that they miss me at home.
It was probably some wandering Willie
that sang this song, for a little while later
the answer came:
Th ** it you, dear, safe, safe at home?
tuey do not tell me true, dear; they said you
.. would not come.
1 re watched for you at the gate, and it made
, hay heart rejoice
sen I heard your well-known footsteps and
.... that dear familiar voice,
"“king music on my ear in the lonely midnight
O \v ■ ur ‘
““he, we have missed you; welcome, wel
come home.
There were more stanzas telling of the
prodigal’s return, and how “we” sat up
? i 1 w o’clock waiting for the wanderer,
j® 13 "pubtful it Willie stayed at home very
° n K. for “*°ther song says that:
'"' e on the dork, blue sea,

P ™ ar \7, a dreary day will pass

Then blow, gentle winds, o'er the dark, blue
sa,
i a . n ? tb storm king stay his hand,
my Wil ie back to me,
1 ° “*■ own dear native land.
While Willie was away on the dark, blue
tea the war broke oat and sc itiment a.
f rgotten for the time and martial music
was ail the rage. When peace was restored
every one was ready f>r a change, aad
sentiment again held the sway. The “Blue
Jumata” was one of tbe first to gam popu
lar approyaL It was supposed to have
been the love song of an Indian maiden
called Alparat*. and commenced thus:
Swift as the warrior brave
The lore of Attorata;
Bright waves his snowy plume
Ailnvn the Juniata.
The noble red man with the an >wy plnme
has gone and made way for the hungry In
dian in the Bad Lands, and the song has
long been forgotten. “Fair Evalioa” ap
peared about this tune. That Evalina was
fair there can be uo doubt, for the song
docs little else than reiterate the fact. A
part of the words are:
Oh, fair. fair, with golden hair.
Under the willows she’s sleeping,
•Fair, fair, with golden nair.
My heart lies there in her keeping.
The love sick swain’s heart is undoubt
edly still “in her keeping,” for of late years
no one has resurrected it. With tbe Cea
teaial of 1876 came a revival of old way
songs. They soon passed away, and with
them the sentiment of the previous fifty
years. Something fuuny, no mat
ter how course the humor might
be, was demanded and supplied.
‘Whoa, Emma,” was about the first
Then somebody tried to revive sentiment in
“Baby’s Empty Cradle,” but the fact that
the absurd parodies were more popula- than
the original put an end to the effort. From
that time the comic song held almost undis
puted sway, and dialect songs of doubtful
merit have followed each other rapidly, eaou
having its brie* spell of popularity, and giv
ing way to anew one.
CHICKEN KILLING.
Six Hundred in Four Hours by Four
Experts.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Four men killed, picked and dressed,
ready for the cook, 600 chickens in four
hours.
William Schwartzman drew 130 in fifteen
minutes.
He has been drawing chickens, ducks and
geese for twenty-one years, and the nails on
his fingers are eaten off. .
The three Schwartzman brothers —Will-
iam, Henry and John—follow tho poultry
killing business. John scalds, Henry picks
and William draws, with John Hall as
helper.
Buck Ewing, the baseball man, owns the
lot on which their fowl-killing establish
ment is located, on the corner of Eastern
avenue and Strader avenue, Pendleton. The
quarters are modest and unpretentious, yet
on an average from 1,300 to 1,500 chickens a
week the year round are prepared for the
market here. In the year this amounts to
18,000. They kill about 6,000 turkeyß, 50,-
000 ducks and 2,0U0 geese annually. The
process is a novel and necessarily a light
ning one.
The chickens are procured from farmers
and shippers or bought by tbe coop of tbe
wholesale dealers. Then they are feverish
and heated, often ill-fed and thirsty. They
are placed in a large yard, corn fed and
watered for two or three days. Through a
small door, into an adjoining and smaller
yard a few hundred are cooped, when the
butcher is ready. There is a block in the
corner, and a cleaver on the block. Tho
butcher steps in among the chickens,
GRABS ONE WITH HIS LEFT HAND,
with his right the cleaver, which comes
down on tbe chicken’s neck just back of the
head. Sometimes an assistant hands the
fowls to him, but their heads are off so
quick that there are 100 bodies in a pile
twitching and hopping with muscular con
traction.
The dressing room is next door. Two
large kettles, holding half a barrel of water
each, are in a stationary brick stand, be
neath which is a furnace. In one of tbe
kettles the water has not reached
the boiling point, in the other it
bubbles and boils. Into the first a
half dozen chickens, held by the legs, aro
dip oed for a few minutes. This is called
scalding, but the point is never to have the
water come to a boil. If it does the skin
scrapes off. The chickens are then tossed
onto the fl ior, and the picker begins and
rubs the feathers off.
They are then turned over to the dresser,
who pulls out the gizzards, liver, heart, en
trails", making oue incision with a Bharp
knife and one grasp of tne hand. They are
then dipped into the caldron of boiling
water for the purpose of giving them a
fresh and plump appearance,and tossed into
a long box of cola water, where they re
main for a couple of hours. The water is
frequently changed and the poultry oomes
out looking fresh and inviting. They are
not yet ready for packing or for the market.
They are now laid in a trough under a shed
in the open air and covered
WITH A LARGE WHITE SHEET.
There were 200 lying this way when the
Enquirer reporter called, and for all tho
world the layout resembled a corpse cov
ered and awaiting the undertaker.
“Many oddities in the business?” asked the
reporter.
Just then William, who was slicing open
a fat gizzard, struck his knife against a hard
substance. He pulled it out, and buried in
the center of the organ, where everything
was ground to a pulp, was the brass end of
an umbrella stick, polishod as bright as gold,
and fully an inch long.
“There’s something odd,” he said, “and it
is not uncommon to find bits of glass, peb
ble-stones, pins, and men have told me that
they have found $2% gold pieces iu
chickens’ gizzards, but lam frank to say
that I never did. The nearest that any one
ever came to finding any money in a
chioken’s gizzard about this establishment
was one day there was a big pile of gizzards
to clean, and I said to a boy who comes
around here a good deal, ‘there’s a quarter in
that pile of gizzards somewhere, aud if you
find it it’s yours. ’ The boy set to work with a
will and soon had all the gizzards cleaned
but half a dozen fat ones. I stepped up and
said that I would help him out and slipped
a quarter into one of them after slitting it.
‘Hello!’I cried,‘here it is,’ and held up the
gizzard and showed it to him. ‘That’s
tunnv,’ he said: ‘I was saving these fat
fellows till the last, and you come along
and find the money.’ There is one use that
the skin of the gizzard is put to that is not
generally known. Cleaned, dried and
grated
IT IS MADE INTO A TEA,
which, though bitter to the taste, is a sure
cure for the worst case of dyspepsia. In
fact, pepsin is made from this gizzard hide
or bag.”
“How do you capon a fowl?”
“Make an incision three inches long be
hind the hip, and, with a hook, do the
caponing. The bird should be sor 6 months
old, and, if it falls, it won’t stand the opera
tion, and off goes its head. But if it walks
off it will make a good, fat capon, and weigh
from eight to ten pounds, and the beauty of
a capon is that the flesh is never tough, no
matter how old.”
“The feathers?”
“Those of chickens are not used except as
fertilizers, but soalded geese and duck feath
ers bring from 26 to 35 cents a pound, and
it takes twelve ducks and six geese to real
ize a pound of feathers. Live feathers bring
from 40 cents to 60 cents, and yet I think
the scalded feathers, when they have have
been renovated, are the best. The feet of
poultry
MAKE ELEGANT JELLY,
just as calf’s head jelly is made. Home years
ago Tom Johnson, a celebrated cook, gave
a birthday party to some of his friends,
and among tbe dishes was a pyramid in
red, white and blue, made from poultry
feet.
“At a leading restaurant the backbones,
wings and thighs of turkeys are make into
gelatine, only the breast used for salad.
During the flood of *S4 a lot of chiokrni
lived for ten days without food, remaiumg
on tbe roost all the time, the water beneatn
them being ten or twelve feet deep. The
ducks and geese are caught with a long hook
about the neok, having been penned ui> in a
c irnor of the killing yard. It takes longer
to dress and pick them. Four men have got

thr ugh with forty-fie and sixty in an
hour, then again oniy thirty. This place
has been a poultry place for forty years.
For nineteen years old man Peterson
ran it, whom all the old citizens will re
member.”
Contrasted with the farmers’ mode of
killing fowl tho wholesale way presents a
vast difference. On the farm when the
preachers cure the chickens roost high.
The night before the bird is seized on tbe
roost, its jugular vein cut or the neck wrung.
If tbe fowl is wanted in the daytime the
hens are chased until one is knocked over
with a c<UD or caught by tbe flee dog, and
after the kettle is put on and the water
brought to a boil the fowl is dipped iu and
the feathers pulled off, skin and" aIL The
dressing takes the cook considerable hack
ing and pulling, and the entire time con
sumed will amount to a good hour.
“SORRBL-TOF” GEORGIAN FIGHTS.
Capt. John Mil ledge Explains His
Toast at the Virginia Banquet.
To the Editor of The Atlanta Jou nal:
In the very complimentary notice that
yon made of the speech made by me at the
close of tne banquet on Gen. Lee’s birthday,
a great mistake was made in staging that I
had. in the preliminary remarks made by
me introductory to the toast which I of
fered to Gen. Fitz Lee of Virginia, stated
that “I bad had a fight with Gen. Fitz Lee.”
On reading the notice I was uncertain
whether I ought to correct it, and did not
do so at the time, because I think these mis
takes that are sometim s made in the paper
had best be unnoticed, inasmuch as they
generally, if not of much importance pass
soon out of public notice, but my attention
has been called to this instance in such a
way as to make it seem proper to me that
I should coriect what was an unintentional
mistake on the part of your reporter, and i
will state iu brief what I did say:
I stated that I desired to offer a toast to
ono wbo, long years ago, bef re the war,
had been my friend under peculiar circum
stances. That when I was a boy 13 years
old, a pale-faced, delicate, red-headed boy,
my father, conceiving that the only way to
give me the physical strength necessary for
any usefulness m life was to put me at a
military school, and I was sent to such a
school near the city of Baltimore. That
soon after reaching there I became imme
diately a subject of torture by a big,double
jointed boy from tbe western shore of
Maryland, who amused himself and the
other boys by applying to me such compli
mentary epithets as “red headed wood
pecker, and sirreltop from Georgia.”
Almost heartbroken with homesickness,
and being particularly sensitive about the
color of my head at that time, this baoarae
a very serious matter to me, and I chal
lenged tbe boy from the western shore of
Maryland. Bill Knight by name, to a ring
fight ou the college green. After looking
about for some boy (a act as my second, I
secured the services of a Virginian some
years older than myßelf, who was a recog
nized leader in all athletic sports,
who kindly consented to befriend mo. At
the appointed hour a ring was formed and
the fight commenced, and after somi min
utes. in wnicb both of us had a fail or two,
tbe fight was broken up bv the appearance
of two professors, very much to my satis
faction, as by breaking up the fight they
probably saved me a good beating, where
upon I was immediu ely conducted to the
pump by my second, who, washing the
blood from my bruised face, remarked,
“Sorreitop, you’ll do."
Years pasted on.
My friend went to West Point, and I
returned to Georgia and entered the Georgia
Military Institute. He graduated at West
Point, and distinguished himself just after
his graduation and jus . before the confed
erate war, in tho west by fighting the
Indians as lieutenant of cavalry. Years
afterward, while passing through Cul
pepper court house, in command
of my battery, on my way to
the second Manassas, 1 understood that my
second iu the schoolboy fight was lying
wuunded, a general of the cavalry. Allow
ing my battery to proceed under a lieuten
ant, I made niy way to his room. He was
lying upon a couch, and as I entered 1 said:
“General, do you recognize me?” He said:
“Stop a minute! Georgia. Red-headed
Milledge,” and greeted me cordially.
He rose to be one of the greatest cavalry
generals on either side in the war. And has
lied with marked ability an 1 patriotism
the executive chair of his state since the
war. As knightly a gentleman as ever
couched the lance in the days of chivalry,
aud as brave a cavalryman ai rode to the
death at the battle of Bal&klava, his name
Is Fitz Lee of Virginia. And the company,
rising, drank to his health.
Perhaps this is a long way to explain a
little mistake, bnt I do not care to be put
down as having had a fight with Gen.
Fitz Lee. Respectfully,
John Milledge.

For Women
Who suffer from nervous and physical debil
ity great help is found in taking Ayer’s Sar
saparilla. It produces the rapid effect of a
stimulant, without the injurious reaction
that follows tlie use of stimulants. The re
sult of taking this medicine is a permanent
increase of strength and vigor, both of mind
and body.
“ I find Ayer’s Sarsaparilla just what I have
needed for a long time. I have tried different
medicines or tonics, but never found a cure
until I used this. My trouble has been a low
state of the blood, causing faint turns.”—
Lena O’Connor, 121 Vernon st., Boston, Mass.
“ I have been a victim for the past two
years of general weakness with turns of
fainting. Have tried various remedies, but
with little relief till I used Ayer’s Sarsapa
rilla. Some six months since I began to use
this remedy, and am greatly benefited.”
Miss K. E. White, Somerville, Mass.
“ This is to certify that I have been using
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla for some time, aud it has
done me a world of good. It has cured my
headache, cleared my blood, and helped me
In every way, and I am determined to use it
it so long as I need such a medicine.”—
