''John Browns Body"

Writer in Cincinnati Enquirer.
No one knows who wrote it. In fact, no one
can say that it was ever written, 1t came into
being wholly unannounced, uncopyrighted. A
all its legitimate rivals. There is little to it in
the way of words. 1t simply runs
over and over the fact concerning John
Brown, and then rings the refrain
in GLORY, Glory, Hallelujah." Men who
never opened their mouths in song, carried along
by the enthusiasm, the intoxication of the air
have found themselves shouting at the top of
their voices. It was born at a moment when
popular feelings were at fever heat, and when
Fletcher Webster's regiment, the Twelfth Massa-
chusetts, marched through the streets of Boston
ment may be said to have come. Boston went
wild over the music; SO did New York,
through which the men passed on
their way southwark. The ready ear
the populace caught the melody, and from time
to time verse was added, the last being 'Well
hang jeff Davis to a sour apple tree" There
was effort at composition in all this 1t was
simply the vocalizing Of the popular wish. 1t
was the great marching tune. It was the piece
when they, in camp or bivouac, tortured the air
with Dixie" or Bonnie Blue Flag" To any
Southern man, the name of John Brown was
the most exasperating possible. Like holy
water upon sulphurous devils, they fairly Kissed
at the mention of him of Harpers Ferry. Know
ing this what wonder that the boys in blue
used this song whenever they could tautalze or
excite the 'Johnnies." But more than this it had
merits of its own, in..sentiment and movement,
which marked it from the first as the foremost
of the songs of the period of national regenera-
ton. making it, in spite of "The Star Spangled
Banner and Hail Columbia, the new national
hymn.

Why Watts Left Ellen Terry.
ter in San Francisco Alta.

London Letter in San Francisco Alta.
1t is history that Ellen Terry was once the
wife of Watts, the artist, and think it is gener-
ally known that their living together as man and
wife did not much exceed the period usually al
lotted to the honeymoon. But the real reason of
their separation is not known to the general
newspaper reading public. Watts was man of
melancholy mien anu manner, something of the
Maltravers stripe, and he was eccentric in dress
after afashion Of his own He was very fond of
fun, but that had nothing to do with the cause
of the separation. His family objected to his
union with actress, and at first refused to rec
ognize or meet her. After a month, however,
Watts succeeded in effecting a reconciliation,
and on the occasion, anxious to do honor to his
wife and to his family, he gave dinner to his
immediate relations. When Ellen retired to
prepare her toilet, Watts caressingly implored
her to dress so as to show herself off to the best
advantage" in the presence of his family and re-
latives. Imagine his horor and their consterna-
ton when Mrs. Watts made her appearance.
She was dressed la circus, in suit of tights,
glistening from head to foot with spangles. but
fitting her as though nodded on, and showing to
perfection every curve every line and every
movement of her perfect, willowy figure Mr..
and Mrs. Watts were not ''at home" together
after that.

-HABlTuAL constipation is not
only one of the most unpleasant,
but at the same time one of the
most injurious conditions of the
human system, and is but a forerun-
ner of disease, unless removed.
This is usually accomplished by the
use of purgatives, which for the time
afford relief, but after their immedi-
ate effects have passed they leave
the system in worse state than be-
fore. To effect cure it is necessa-
ry that the remedy used should be
one that not only by its cathartic
effect relieves the Bowels, but at the
same time acts as tonic, SO as to re-
store the organs to a sound, healthy
condition. This PR1CKLY ASH

Daniel Manning, Of New York,
Secretary Of the
Treasury.

Different accounts of probabili-
ties as to the Cabinet agreed in
giving Daniel Manning a place in
it; and so far as we have observed,
agreed also in placing him at the
head of the Treasury Department.
As the distinguished politician thus
honored has been eminently useful
to his party and to Mr.. Cleveland
in particular, there is nothing re-
nlarkable in his having received
the appointment. Mr.. Manning has
proved himself to be an able and
versatile man, and there is no rea-
son to doubt that he will fiji eff
GENTLY the important appointment
he has received.
He is several years on the sunny
side Of fifty, an Albanian BY birth,
and self made man. His parents
were in d very humble and obscure
position in life, and it is not concei-
vable that they ever thought their
bright and precocious boy would
develop into a Cabinet minister.
When he was a very young boy,
Daniel was sent to work as a
messenger and general drudge in
the printing Office of the Argus,
Albany, New York. From this
mean position his fellow citizens of
the place of his birth have observed
his rise, certainly to eminence if
not to greatness.
Before long the boy had learned
the art and mystery of setting type,
and worked at the case. He lad,
moreover, manifested ability which
Mr.. Cassidy, then editor of the
AaguS, was quick to observe. Ac-
cordingly he gave the Young com
position position as reporter, one
for which he proved to be adnira-
bly, adapted. Manning at the time
was about twenty years of age,
healthy aud vigorous, self.assertive
and plucky. His first assignments
were in the chamber of the New
York Assembly, where he soon be-
came we'll known to the members,
especially as he evidenced an ex-
traordinary interest in politics. This
found expression in hard work at
meetings, in caucuses and at the
polls. The young journalist rose
step by step with the success of his
political work. He is now Presi-
dent of the Argus Company, which
owns the newspaper on the staff of
which he earned his first dollar,
and the argus speaks as inspired
by the man who began a busy life
sweeping its Office. Mr.. Manning

JOSH BILLINGS PHILOSOPHY.

"Accident" is a word that should
be expuged from the dictionary !;
it has no meaning.
We can't prove more than half we
believe, and perhaps it is better
for us that we can't.
The ambition of man is to crafty
his vanity but very few wish to be
great for the sake Of being good.
forgiveness is a delicate thing to
administer it is more apt to make
people sullen than humble to for
give them.
Pride should remember this: it
has got to- die and rot in the
ground, and perhaps right along
side a pauper.
Genuine poetry Is as natural and
joyful as leaping stream, but too
much of the poetry is like the same
stream trying to run up hill.
When a man talks about himself
| can't afford to believe more than
half what he says about himself :;
for if he lisa nam of any sense, this
is about all he believes himself.
Young man, the world are quite
willing that you should make a fool
of yourself: you have it in your
power to disappoint them. See that
you do it.
There are quacks in literature as
well as medicine.
There amt but little truth in the
world anyhow, and therefore the
man who talks a great deal must
elougate the facts occasionally.
Whenever You read a very alb
strnse sentence, yon will find the
idea in it very weak. A genuine
good thing can be told in the sim.
plest language possible.
When a man undertakes to prove
what he can't understand, there is
great danger of his becoming a.
crank.
He who cnltivates excentricities
is an inevitable fool.
1t requires more brains to he a.
good critic than an author. He who
can point ort the faults in q COM
position is certainly a better man
than the one who made them.
