1t has occurred to me that before Council

BY the Finance Committee it should add

purses of the chief or his men, and it is

The Queer Results brought About by tht
Playing Of "John Browns Body."
Lieutenant Chandler in an article on

q halt at Shady Dale, Ga. as follows

to rest and one of the bands struck up

in the Grave" To us this was nothing

number Of negro girls, dozen or more.

and, forming ring around the band.
with weird and plaintive wall danced
in a circle in the most solemn, dignfied
manner so long as the band played that
tune. There was not man in this
dance. There was not word spoken
to any of the girls by any officer or man
in the command. because we were all
too much astonished, and rs soon as
the music ceased they all scuttled off
and disappeared behind the shrubbery
and in the houses. The modest and
serious department of these girls in this
dance made deep impression on me.
The more | thought over the matter the
more became interested to know why
they should have danced, and why they
had dauccd to that tune, but paid no
attention to several better dancing
tunes which the band played.

little to the public what play he appear, in
il they think it affords him an opportunity
to be- funny. They took The Skating

to regret, for when they left the theatre
after the performance it was with
sides positively aching with excess of laugh
