An Affecting Incident.

A few days since says the New
York Sun, the several regiments Of
General Sickles' Brigade were sworn
into the service of the United States,
by the administration Of the customa-
ry oath. -Four regiments have been
sworn In, and each one of them took
the solemn oath, accompanied the fol-
lowed by hurrahs. When the fifth
regiment was drawn up in line. an
officer Of one of the companies, step
ping to the front, addressed General
sickles, and requested that his regi-
ment might be sworn in with prayer.
1t was too solemn moment for hnr-
rahs. The General told him that the
chaplains were absent, and there was
none to call upon to perform the duty.
The officer replied that he would call
upon one under his command, If the
General wonld give bin leave. Con-
sent was given. The duty was ex-
planned to the regiment, and the Off
Ger called upon youth, seventeen
years of age, TO step to the front and
lead them in prayer. He Immediate
" took the place assigned him and en-
gagged in prayer. The whole regiment
was melted into tears, as well as h1n-
dreds who were standing around as
witnesses of the scene. The men stood
weeping after the prayer was over,
10 deeply affected was the Genera,
that be sent for the chaplain to come
and witness the scene 1t was. from
his own lips that these facts were de-
rived.

Smith was man who never per-

man. Thereat Smith fred up. and a
bet wis made. The bath tubs were
prepared stripped, and separated
by a cloth partition, each got in and
let on the water at the word, the wa
ger being who could stay in the long
est with hot water running. Smith
drew up his feet as far as possible
from the boiling stream while Brown
pulled out the plug in the bottom Of

Dixie"

A correspondent of the New Orleans
Della says that 1t 10 common error
that wish ] was in Dixie" In an
Indigenous Southern song, and off,
ers the following explanations:
Now I do not wish to spoil a
pretty illusion, but the real truth 10
that Dixie Ia an Indigenous Northern
negro refrain, as common to the writer
as the lamp posts in New York city
seventy or seventy-nve years ago.
1t was one of the everyday illusions
of boys at that time in all the out
door sports, and no one ever heard
Of Dixie's land being other than Man
haitian Island until recently when 1t
has been enormously supposed 10 re
fer to the South from It's connection
with pathetic negro alleogory.
When slavery existed in New York
and Dixie owned a large tract of
land on Manhattan Island and large
number of slaves The increase Of
the slaves and the increase of the alb
clifton sentiment caused an emigration
of the slaves to more thorough and
secure slaves sections, and the negroes
were thus sent off many being born
there) naturally looked back to their
old homes, where they had lived ia
clover. with feelings of regret, as they
could not imagine any place like Dix
les. Heneeit became synomonouswith
an ideal locality, combining ease,
comfort, and material happiness Of
every description In those days
negro singing and lninstrelsy aere in
their infancy, and any subject that
could be wrought into a ballad was
eagerly picked up. This was the
case with Dixie" It originated in
New York, and assumed the proper
tions of song there. In its travels
1t has been enlarged, and has gather
cd moss.' 1t has picked up note
here and there. A chorus has been
added to it, and from an indistinct
chant of two or three notes, it has
become an elaborate melody. But
the fact that it is not a Southern song,
cannot be rubbed out. The fallacy
is 90 popular to The contrary, that j
have been at pins to state the real
origin Of it, ml.s.
