This time a visit of congratula tion. 000 John Temple Graves gave the boys of the Second Georgia a handsome greeting in behalf of the ladies cf Atlanta. 000 “Whatcin be expected,” in* quires the Washington Post, ‘‘of a nation that humiliates its Cerver as, its Montnjos, and its Torals and lauds its Weylers and its Blan cos?” 000 Ths rapidity with which Li Hung Chang has pulled off and put on that yellow jacket and pea cock feather entitles him to hon orable mention as a lightning change artist. 000 The Atlanta public can see what the Augusta companies in the Second regiment are being denied by reference to the illustrations by the Constitutionss artist in which happy reunions of families and sweethearts are pictured. 000 Alger says Miles is trying to rise to the presidency by using him as a stepping stone.‘He will have to get a better start to make the trip.

The nec essary funds for the work were raised by a group of women, of whom Mrs. S. Reed Stoney was the leading spirit. The tablet is of white Vermont marble, eight feet long by four feet wide. At the top it is surrounded by a beautifully chiseled state flag and a painted tree. On its face is the ordinance, of secession, with all the names ot the signers. The whole letter ing consists of more than 8.000 words.

It was in a cage ♦ hat hung in the conning tower. When the little fighting craft was in the thickest of the storm of shot and shell from the Spanish batteries, the conning tower was hit haid enough to make it shiver. The cage rattled against the si 'e. Then there came a screech from the par rot: “H—l, but they are coming hot!” Although the death-dealing missiles were in the air all around them, some of the crew cracked a joke back at the parrot. Soon the conning tower was struck again. “H—l. but they are coming hot,”screehed the parrot a second time. Th® next mintPe the rheil ex uloded that killed Ensign Bagley and his companions. The parrot came out of the battle unharmed 000 The Chicago Times-Herald con tributes the following to the cur rent history of the farncus air Dixie so dear to the southerner. By the way, this reminds the writer of a remark made by one of the mu sicians of one of the volunteer bands from one of the northern regiments, recently encamped at Chicamauga, on occasion while they were playing in the city. The beys had played a number of pop* ular airs, bi t didn’t seem to catch the crowd. Finally this musician said: “Cap’n, let's play D>xie and hear the d—fools holler.” The Times-Herald says: It was on a Saturday night in 1859. when Dan Emmett was a member of Bryant’ ministrels that Dan Bryant of the famous Bryant combination went to him and said: 000 “Emmett, can’t you get up something new for a walk-around? I want something lively and catchy for Monday night, a new tune full of ‘go.’ ” 000 “I’ll try.” responded Emmett, and he went to work, but could not please himself until he hit 0.1 the first two bars of “Dixie,” and then he was pleased enough to finish it. but it was Sunday after* noon before he had the-words, “I wish I was in Dixie.” This col* loquial phrase was not, as people suppose, a southern expression. It did not originate in the south as is popularly believed but was in use in northern circuses that had traveled in the south and enjoyed southern warmth and hospitality, When the cold winds of the north ern states blew through the circus tents the boys would shiver and say, “I wish I was in Dixie,” Dixie being the diminutive for Dixon —south of Mason and Dix on’s line. 000 The air took like wildfire, and half the audience went Lome hum ming it, There was do hint of war then, but the music stirred th® blood, as only war music can. The song became the rage, and other minstrel companies paid Dan Emmett $5 for its use at their per formances. Pond, of New York, paid Emmett S6OO for the copy right, and Will S. Hayes cairned the song as his own by publishing it in a collection under his name. Finally these questions of poses sion were settled by law and the authorship adjudged to Emmett.
