The Origin Of Dixie"

A Baltimore paper furnishes the
following item concerning the origin
of the word "Dixie: :"
"Some years ago, long before the
war, very musical family by tho
name of Dixie lived in Worcester,
Mass. One of the brothers, Walston
Dixie, we believe, decided to apply
his talents in the negro minstrelsy
line, and soon the famous Dixie min
strels wcrc known from one of the
country to the other. This same
founder Of the troupe wrote the cele-
brated song 'Dixie's Land" which
attained such popularity. 1t was ver-
lily the land for him, as he found in
the Southern States the gems of the
negro songs which he brushed up
ane placed in his programme. The
South adopted the song, and hence
allowed this gifted minstrel of Mas.
sachusetts to give that section of the
country new name, which will al.
ways stick. Many song were adopt
cd and sectionized in this way. Our
own "Yankee Doodle" was written
by an Englishman as q satire, but our
ancestors picked it right up and gave
il q home.

About Dates.


1t is often desirable to know OIL
what day of the week certain date
falls, We find a method sugg ested
by a correspondent Of the London
Times, which we publish for tie Gu
rious rather tAan for the practical.
The following old couplct com
mitied to memory, affords an easy
rule tor aScertaining without refer
ence to an almanac OH what day Of
the week any day Of the month vii
fall:
at Dover Dwells George brown, Esquire
Good Christian Friend, and David Friar."
Explanation.-The couplet contains
twelve words, one for each month IN
order, beginning with January. The
initial letter Of each word correspond;
with the letter in the calender for the
first of The month represented by the
word. The key to the use of the rule
is the knowledge for The Sunday let.
Ter in the year, which iAis year is f.
Example lon what day OF the
week did March I6 fall this year?
Answered., the first letter Of
"Dwclls," stands for March /. But
D is the letter or day before E-thal
is, ID, the LIST of March, was Saturday,
The calculation is instantaneous that
March 10 was the third Saturday in
the month.
Example 2-On what day of the
week did December 3 fall? f is De-
cember l. But f is the day after E
that is, Monday, therefore December
3 will be on Wednesday.

A Negro who lives in a Mud Hole

A correspondent at Columbus,
Kentucky, says: One of the most re-
markable characters of this generation
is Old Ned, who is seventy-fve years
old and and black as the ace of spades
and who has actually lived in mud
hole, summer and winter, for the last
twenty one years.
About twenty-three years ago he
ran away from his master and took
refuge in the cane-brakes on the Mis-.
souri, side, opposite Obion, County,
Tennessee. The weather was ex-
tremely cold and he became frost
bitten, losing his toes and inAaming
his body with a burning fever, which
has never deserted him, and which he
says nothing but the cooling applica-
tion of mud allays.
His place of residence is generally
located near Union Clay, Obion
county, and consists merely of a hole
in the ground some four feet square
and five feet deep, filed with soft mud
with a rude shelter over the ton.
There he fits from day to day, and
completely covered with mud up to
his armpits, lie never allows the
mud to get dry on himself, but so
soon as it begins to dry up he plastcrs
himself with more wet mud, and thus
keeps himself completely clothed with
the same to his waist. Visitors bring
him all he requires to eat and in the
severest cold weather fires on the bank
keep him freezing. Thousands of
people have called To see him, and he
is certainly worthy of attention, as all
these statements concerning him can
be verified.

Davourea Alive.

\ writer Of Australian life relate,
the following story in the Bosto,
Commercial Bulletin; 0ne.,evening
on return of the miners to camp, Their
was terrible outcry from one of thu
tents. Scores Of miners rushed in /,
body to tine place whence the or,

had not gone out that day, The sick
nsaA was dead, witha dagger in hi
heart, and the box on which he Law
for bed showed evidence Of Maving
been broken open and riAed Of its con
tents. The body was still warm,
showing that the deed had but recent
~ been perpetrated. The miners i'm.
inediately scattered in pursuit of the
murderer or murdcrers. An hour
later a man was brought in--one Of
the moSt villainous-l looking characters
L ever bchcll. His pockets were
flied with gold, which was indenci
ied by the SURVEYING mate as the
property ofhimself and his dead com.
rade.
There was no mistake about the
matter. The bags in which the dust
was contained were marked with the
juiat names Of the mates, and the
identity of the nuggets the surviving
mate sworc to. This was sufficient
to establish the guilt of the accused,
Some were Cor hanging him on the
spot, but the law-abiding portion Of
the community, being in the majority
insisted upon his having a fair trial
lie was remanded for the night and a
guard placed over him.
Next morning he was missing.
How he eluded the guard they knew
not, but that he had escaped there
could be no doubt. What was worse,
he carried off the gold with him whicl.
had been placed for safe keeping in
the prison to be used as testimony
against him.
TWAS deemed idle to pursue HIM,
but description of the murderer was
drawn up and circulated, and re-
ward offered for his capture, dead or
alive. A week passed away without
any tidings being heard of the fugi-
tive. At the end of that time ma

The letter was short, but it was TO

Kangaroo Bill,
Captain of the Bushranger.

A party of miners Immediately pro,
ceeded to the locality described, ex
pecting to find the murderer fastened
to tree OF rock. What was their
horror on approaching the place to
find nothing but heshless shelton,
every bone picked clean until it glist-
ened like ivory in the sun. The
bushrangers had robbed the murderer,
and then, driving stakes into the
ground, they had fastened him, back
down, to ant hill. The ants of Yictv-
ria are as voracious as death. The
murderer had been eaten alive!
