Way Down South in Dixie"
| Yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Pomero,
left tho city, to gil engagements OF
the stump in the interior, and ha
played ts Il iitt8 trick. Finding n rc
turned soldier on the street, with a,
old hand-organ, on which ho pays ter
dollars q y ar license, which goes ts
tho support OF. the bond holders, he
hired him to come to the Office Of the
Democrat, aud, from O'CLOCK till, q
every afternoon, played "Di&ie."
And here he is, under our window
We like it, but tho oIitors Of the .Sa,

hour after hour. The man won't
move, for hS Says pohetoy hired him
by the week. Tho Sun folks don't
like it. Passers-by wonder why in
thunder he don't change his tune |
One man, from Goshen, Orange ccun.
ty stood there an hour, to day. wait
ing to hear the next tune. But no
other tune comes out of the horrid in
strument! And there he sits, grind
ing
'Way down. South In Dixie!
Oh! wish wns In Dixie -
Yesterday, Pomeroy had q row
about the matter. A radical, whose
office is close BY, came down, and or.
dered the soldier to move on.
"Can't do it," replied cripple.
"Why. 2" ,,aal 4i'r aa
"Causc I'm hired to stny here, OF
these steps, under this window, and
play this 'ere tuneb ~ .s.'''' -
"Well. pllsoe," and up stairs camo
the excited RADICAL He ravc,l and
swore--threatencd; arrest and ali
sorts Of trouble. III. r
"Cun't help it," said Pomeroy {,
"that man was q soldicr-he fought,
he saved his country--ho pays zen
dollars year to grind his machine, 1
have hired him for tho season, and I
shall have him play that same tune
day after day, to remind tho working
men that 'E:
,.g Way down South in, Dixie"
aro a lot of niggers. scalawags and ,car-
pct baggers thoy must sIpport. And,
said he, elf you touch that o!dicr, pll
mash your loyal head. rent these
premises that soldier has paid his
license I pay for tho MUSIC, and FIJI
have itjust rs want it," ..
And the man is still grinding away
'wey down South III Dixie"
How long he IS to grind ut that
mill, God aud Pomoroy only know.
But it's funny idea, compelling us
to sit here hour after hour tolisten to
that soldier grinding out Of his ten
dollar License organ y8nab n,aa

We tried to coax him to change Ills
tune, but he won't. Hc says that;

pay the bill and call it quits. qs is.,.a
