THE ORIGIN OF DIXIE.
A Popular Illusion Dispelied by n Ms
Nth IA Ian1 Man,ary

Popular Illusion DispeIied by n Man
with Long Memory.
A writer in the New Orleans Delta
says: II do not wish TO spoil pretty
illusion, but the real truth is that Dixie
is an indigenous Northern negro re-
kain, as common 10 the writer as the
lamp posts in New York City, seventy
or sevonty-Ave years ago. It was one
Of tho everyday illusions Of boys at
that time in all their outdoor sports
And no ono ever heard OF Dixie's
land being other than Manhattan Is
land until recently, when 1t has been or
roneously supposed to refer TO the
South from its connection with tho pa
thetic negro allegory. When slavery
existed in New York, one 'Dixy' owned
q large tract Of land on Manhattan Is
land and large number OF slaves. The
increase Of slaves and the increase OF
the abolition sentiment caused an emil
grafton OF slaves TO more thorough and
secure slave sections; and the negroes
who were thus sent of naturally looked
back to their old homes, where they
had lived in clover, with feelings OF re-
gret, as they could not imagine any
place like Dixie's. Hence, 1t became
synonymous with an ideal locality, COM
bining ease, comfort and material happi-
ness Of every description. In those days
negro singing and minstrelsy were In
their infancy, and any subject that could
be wrought into q ballad was eagerly
picked up. This was tho case with
Dixie. 1t originated in New York and
assumed the proportions OF a song there.
In its travels 1t has boon enlarged, and
has gathered moss. 1t has picked up
note here and note tbcre. A chorus has
been added TO It. and from an indistinct
chant OF two or three notes II has be-
come an elaborate melody. But tho fact
that 1t is not Southern song can not
be rubbed out. The iallacy is so popular
TO the contrary that have thus been at
pains to got tho real origin OF it."

Mr.. John o. Rogers, OF Dana, Illinois,
writes as follows under date of March en-
1890; my wife was for years an invalid
from blood trouble, and suffered terri

then, turning suddenly, he kicked
Billy's concertina clear to tho roof Of
the cabin and fed in disgust before II
came down.
When he reached the bow OF the boat
she was just making landing, and In
another minute the gates were opened
and he walked ashore. He fingered q
moment In the ferry-house with the
idea Of apologizing TO Billy and plead
ing temporary insanity, but that indi-
vidual did not appear. The crowd
surgod of the ferry-boat, and hurried
by Drane. One lady evidently recog-
nized him, for he heard her say 10 her
escort: "Poor fellow, his voice must
have been wonderful before he ruined
II by drink"
Riddled by this doublo-barreled in
suit, Drane hung his head and made of

There Is no more dangerous place on the

condition OF mind where collision with

lief 10 his feelings.
A freight train was being made up on
q side track, and Drane crawled along
in the shadow OF II till he came 10 car
which looked as II II might be entered.
He was on tho point OF trying II, when
q figure appeared from the shadows.
Drane was about to run, but pcrceiving
that tho other man had similar inten-

words. He pried open the door OF tho
car and orawled in. Drane followed.
The car appeared to be freighted with
pig-iron or some other heavy substance
OF which very little made load, for
there was plenty OF room. Drane and
his companion found tho most comfort
able place they could in the darkness.
To the formers great rclief the train
soon started and ran with no stop for
nearly an hour. Then there came halt.
Presently Drane heard man stop just
outside the door by which they had en-
tered.

been getting into this car"

tramp, "we're in for it now. They'll
send us up. There's just one chance for
US. You stand on one side of tho door
and I'll stand on the other. When they
climb in we'll make break"
That was exactly what they did; and
as Drane happened to jump out directly
upon the head of the brakeman on
guard, they escaped.
In the lea Of fence, q few minutes
later, Drane was joined by his late ac-
quaintance, whom he had outrun with
ease. Two or three others struggled up
Immediately after.

train" the tramp explained. "We'ro

There was hasty consultation, and
from it Drane learned that they were
near an old barn which was we'll
known to the profession" as harbor-
ing place. 1t was decided that the best
thing to do was to put up in this place
for the night. Drane fell into the line,
and after march acrcSs some fields, he
entered the tramp's hotel with the mot
ley crew.
Counting those already in it, who
wero aroused by tho entrance OF his
party, there wero nearly dozen in all.
Through great hole high up in the
wall tho moonlight streamed, and in
the circle thus marked out the strange
company sat down and prepared to ex-
change some friendly gossip before 60
ing to sleep.
81 take it you're new to tho profess
sion?" said the man whose acquaint-
ance Drane had made in the freight
yard. Whats your name?"
Drane told him.
"Do you spell 1t just like any other
drain2" called out one of tho men.
There was some good-natured laugh
ter at this, and then one of them asked
Drane whore he came from. He en-
deavored to sketch briefly and ac-
curately the events which had led him
to his present situation. He thought 1t
might interest them. 1t did. They re-
garded him as frst-class humorist,
and liar Of great natural endowments.

1t was utterly impossible for Drane to
convince them that he was telling the
truth. The more closely he stuck to
facts the louder they laughed at the ex-
tent and variety Of his genius for false
hood.

Lawrence, half crazed at being thus in

had directed him TO Murray street stood

Drane couldn't abide the idea Of an
