YANKEE DOODLE"
The Jingle May Have Been Derived
From the Greek.

The Jingle May Have Been Derived
From the Greek.
From Hdrper'S Young People.
Every patriotic American loves the
jingling tune Of Yankee Doodle" but no
one seems to know just how or when it first
began to he used. 1t is ever 80 much older
than the declaration of independence, and is
said to have been originally written in
Creek" Iankhe Doule, meaning Rejoice,
o Slavem or LET the Slave Rejoice The
Greek words certainly sound, pronounced
English fashion, enough like Yankee
Doodle" to make this belief a reasonable
one.
All sorts OF queer verses have been sung
to tie jumping frolicsome tune, and in the
time of King Charles l. a number of dog
gerel verses which ridiculed Cromwell were
sung to it. The opening verse,
''Nankee Doole came to town
Upon a Kentish pony;
He stuck feather in his hat,
And called him macaroni,'
Is almost the same as one Of those still sung
to the national air.
Besides this, an old English nursery rhyme
also claims the tune, and this was a great
favorite with the little ones. There was
something altogether delightful in the rapid
jingle:
Lucy Lockett lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher found it;
Not bit of money in it,
Only binding round it."
Pockets in those days were bags put on
outside of the dress, or this accident could
not have happened. Let us hope that Miss
Lockett was more careful after this experi-
ence. and that she finally had "bit Of
money in it" too. The tune used TO be called
"Kitty Fishers Jig" and this Kitty was
real person and a famous beauty in the
reign Of Charles II.
II is a much disputed tune, and has been
claimed for France and Spain, while in
Holland it is said that when the laborers
were paid for their work ''as much butter
milk as they could drink and a tenth Of the
grain" they sang, to the air Of Yankee
Doodle"
yankee dudel doodle down,
Dlddle, dudel lanther,
Yanke biver, boover, bown,
Botermilk und tanther."
1t came to America through England,
and was given a national air by British
surgeon in the French and Indian war.
This was more than twenty years before
the revolution, and compared with the uni
formed and we'll drilled regular troops, the
colonial regiments presented SO ridiculous
an appearance that Yankee Doodle"
seemed Just the thing for them. They did
not mind the ridicule, and laughed at the
tune themselves; but they liked it from the
first. and when it became twisted up with
the ''Stars and Stripes" nothing could have
induced them to part with it. at is the
blood of their political life, and you might
as well attempt TO rob them OF Bunker Hill,
or of the memory of Washington, or of the
Stars and Stripes themselves, as of this
dear old cliaking, SCATTERING, right-about-
face, defiant battle march"

Strange Circumstances to q Fall River
Girls Death.

Strange circumstances to a Fall River
Girls Death.
FALL RIVER, Mass, May 23.-The local
medical profession is much interested in
the following we'll authenticated facts,
reported by DIR. Casgrain, respectable
physician, of this city. Victoria Berube,
aged years, died after remaining uncon-
scious for "a hours. She had been in del
icate heath for two years.
Wednesday she went home from school
and shortly afterward was taken sick,
vomiting a black substance. DIR. Cas-
grain was called and found the patient
insensible. He was unable to resuscitate
her. Two hours before her death, she
vomited dark reddish substance, which
on examination was found to contain q
partially formed bird.
The doctor declines to advance any the
ory, but will report the facts shortly to
the local medical society. Medical Ex-
aminer Dolon has been notified Of the
facts, and has been endeavoring to find
DIR. Casgrain.
A prominent physician advances the
theory that the child may have eaten q
parboiled half Matched egg. The beak Of
the bird may have become imbedded IN
the walls of the stomach. This theory Is
strengthened by the fact that symptoms
OF CASTRO enteritis proceeded death.

Gardiner, Me-, the Scene of the Duel Trag-
edy-The Couple had Quarreled n Week
Before aud He Had Driven Her Away
From Home.

GARDINER, Me-, May 23.-The little old
wooden building No. 2s9 Water street,
near Holmes & Co.'s foundry, has been
the scene of a thrilling tragedy which
startled the inhabitants of this quiet
town. About 10 o'clock Saturday even
ing Isaac Parker Talbot shot his wife,
then committed suicide.
The upper story of the building where
the shooting took place, is occupied by
Mrs. Elizabeth 8. Tabor, sister of Mrs.
Talbot. The cause OF the shooting was a
family quarrel.
One week ago Saturday night Abbott
came here drunk and drove his wife and
two children from their home. Saturday
night Mrs. Talbot went to her sisters.
Talbot came there to see his wife.
They talked for a while in the entry.
Talbot told his wife that he was going
away and wanted to give her something
and also wanted to ask her a question.
She replied: of you have q question to
ask go ahead, but whatever you have to
give me, you can keep. do not want II. ;"
Talbot said: 81 am going away and
you go with me-"
He Immediately fired at her, hitting
her in the left side, just below the heart.
She ran into the front room.
Charles +. Tabor stepped into the hall
and Talbot fred at him but missed him.
Mrs. Tabor came to the door to stop
Talbot. He told her to get out Of his
way as he did not want to hurt her. She
started to close the door, when he fired
one shot into the room, nearly hitting
his little daughter.
Then he turned the revolver towards
his body and shot himself, the ball taking
effect Just above the heart.
City Marshal Norton and Deputy
Sprague were soon on hand and kept the
crowd away. Drs. Giddings, Friend, and
F. e. Strout were called. Talbot died in
about an hour. Mrs, Talbot still lives,
but is in q critical condition. The weapon
that the prisoner used was 81 calibre
double acting revolver.

FALL RIVER, Mass, May 23.-saturday's
print cloth statements coupled with re-
cent quarterly statistics showing the con-
dition Of the mills are taken as evidence
OF an unusually bright outlook for the
manufacturers and operatives OF this
city. Sales last week were Unexpectedly
large, while stock on hand I'm this centre
and Providence, In only 5000 pieces. Pro-
duction was reduced 1000 pieces owing to
the recent flre In the Durice mill and a
break down in the linen mill. The mills
are very we'll engaged ahead for the next
two months. Manufacturers decline TO
cell largely on the IA cents basis. This
fact leads TO . general idca that prices will
90 even higher than they are today.
