THE ANTIQUITY Of POPULAR TUNES.

The Paternity of THE Arkansaw Trav-
eIer''-Strains Generations Old.
It was announced the other day that Mr..
TosSo, the composer of THE Arkansaw
Traveller" lay dying in Cincinnati 1t must
have been news to Arkansas. The homely
Attorney General Garland, who eschews the
Eigeon- tail coat, must have been surprised If
not shocked to learn that "The Rackensack
Traveller" owes its paternity to a musical
gentleman with an Italian name. The Ava
lanchs declines to believe that The ATkan-
saw Traveller" ever had composer. 1t Is
one of those airs of the people, one of those
rude and homely, lively, quick and deviiish
fantasies of the common people, that put
life and metal in our heels" Nae cotillOn,
brent new fare France" nor whirling air
from Germany, nor yet sport of an TIA ian
fiddler, it is one of those rollicking tunes OF
the backwoods that grew somewhere in the
backwoods ages ago
Its origin is lost in the mists Of antiquity.
1t is probably older than the common law,
as old as Gu tom, hoarier than manners
Such airs with varying names and varied
strains, are like the ballads, the proverbs,
and the sayings of the people. They may
be traced back and back until the track l.
lost Origin or author they never had.
They have been harped and blown and tid-
died, thrummed and danced by the ages
Antiquarians have searched diligently for
author and origin for the ballads and Tor
the saws, proverbs and sayings OF the people
The search has only established that these
always were just as they are with minor
variations. Who composed Rack Back
Davie," cold Granny" Rye Straw,
"Forked Deer" Leather Breeches,' "Old
Zip Coon" "Natchez-under- the Hill +" Billy
in the Low Grounds," and hundreds of other
popular country fiddler airs: Their names
have changed, and their strains have been
varied, but they may be heard fddled out
AMI danced out the world over. They might
have been heard centuries ago
Sherman thought the air to marching
Through Georgia" war composition, but
he heard blind fiddler fiddling it in Edin-
burgh. Harry Mccarthy, 1.-The Arkansas
comedian" gave the "Bonny Blue Flag"
to the South but the air is old as the hills.
The air sung to Jim Randalls Maryland,
My Maryland, is gray with age. The airs
of the people, grave and gay, quick and
devilish, in the minor key, in the major
mode pathetic or sombre or soft and Ian
gushing with love and tears, and the bal
lads of the people and the sayings of the
people, are equally without author or or
igin. They go with the traditions. Per
haps they came from Adam, from before
the fall The Arkansaw Traveller" is one
of these. Unhappy the man who has not
worn out his heels in early youth on pun
cheon floors in stolen midnight, and, per
haps, forbidden dance at qu.Itin' or apple

MISS JENNIE CALEF.
Her Serious Misfortune and Her Present
Condition.

Condition.
The Sandusky Register of June 3Oth has
this about Miss Jennie Calef. very bright
actress. well-knUwn here:
1t was five weeks last Monday evening
since Miss Jennie Calef. the actress, met
with the painful and unfortunate accident
in the fracture of the patilla bone of the
knee while on the stage. Miss Calef has
been a great sufferer but has borne it all
very brayely During all these weeks the
injured limb has been strapped Ia a board
frame. at an elevated position and with
weights. never once having been moved in
the least from its place. 1t will be
some weeks vet before it can be re
leased and then must be kept in a
plaster cast for some weeks longer,
before walking with crutcheS can he safely
allowed by way of recreation. Dr. +. Gil-
lard, who is attending surgeon. says that
the fracture is doing timely and apparently
perfect union being made and that there is
every reason to hope that Mss Calef will
after a time fully recover the use of her
limb in which event she will be most for
tunatr in her misfortune. Miss Calef IS at
the West house. where she has every care
and kindness and the visits of number of
ladies' who have sympathizet with her and
in many ways thrown sunshine in what
would have otherwise been lonely hours.
