THE ORIGIN OF ''DtXIE."

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 the name of Dixie lived in
Worcester, Mass. One of the
brothers, Walston Dixie, we be-
lieved, decided TO apply his tai
ents in the negro minstralsy line,
and soon the famous Dixie min
strel were known from one end
of the country to the other. This
same founder of the troupe wrote
the celebrated song ''Dixie's
Land" which attained such pop
ularity. 1t was verify the land
for him, as he found in the South
ern States gems of the negro
songs which he brushed up and
placed in his programme. The
South adopted the song, and
hence allowed this gifted min-
strel of Massachusetts to give
that section OF the country a new
name, which will always stick.
Many songs were adopted and
sectionized in this way. Our
own "Yankce Doodle" was writ
ten by an Englishman as satire,
but our ancestor picked it up
and gave it home::'

Roman Soldiers As Builders.

It was a principle at Rome
that the soldier should never, in
any case remain unoccupled; and
in employing him In works of
construction he was preserved
from dangerous idleness. Ere
quently the Roman troops We're
thus employed in works which
were almost superhuious. When
Vitellius caused to be eracted by
his soldiers the amphitheatres
in the cities of Bologna and Gre
mona, he thought less, so Tacitus
tells US, of endowing the two
towns with useful ornaments than
of diverting for a moment the
turbulent spirit of the leglons.
From a like reason We see the
Roman soldiers building am
phitheatres in Africa, defensive
walls in Brittany doubtless, also
the Roman Wall which divided
Scotland and England-"Ha-
drian's Wall" were built under
the same conditions); in Egypt,
tombs, bridges. temples, porticos
and basilicas. In Italy they
made the great roads; almost
everywhere the mention of their
work is accompanied by the Gu
rious observation that "the mon

Mrs Duniway, of the New
Northwest, at a literary reunion

"God bless 'e1n! They halve

control 'em and the precious fell

no means 'matchless.' They are

handy at State fairs and indis-

are splendid as escorts for some
other fellows wife or sisters, and
as friends, they are better than
