Dvorah. a noted musical composer,
thinks that the future music of America
must be based on negro melodies. In
this he, like most foreigners, make a
mistake. They generally believe that
such plaintiye tunes as "Way Down Upon
The Swaree River" "Massa's in the Cold,
Cold, Ground" &c. were composed by
negroes. Nothing is further from the
truth. These melodies were composed by
white mon and adapted TO words Of the
negro dialect as spoken on the old South
ern plantations. Negro melodies proper
are either hymns or dance tunes.

Dan Emmett, the old Minstrel and com
poser OF "Dixie." "Old Dan Tucker" and
other negro plantation songs is still liv-
ing at Mount Vernon, Ohio. He has Of
late years had hard luck, so a correspond
ent writes us and although he is in his
seventy-slxth year. has been forced TO
maintain himself by chopping wood. A
suggestion Is made that the Southern
people to whom he is endeared by the
now immortal Dixie" should do some
thing for him TO make his old age more
comfortable. 1t is said that his father
was a Virginian. and he still retains the
distinctive qualities Of Virginians. He has
been brought TO his present unfortunate
condition through no fault of his own
and either General Morgan or the Hon
W. c. Coogon. of Mt. Vernon, will vouch
for his private worth. The composer Of
Dixie" ought 10 receive much 5ympathy
from the Southern people in his troubles

Mr.. James Gordon Bennett makes a
statement as TO why he saw fit TO turn
his Herald into stock company. He
says he did 50 "for the purpose OF en-
abling those who help create the Herald
every day 10 have an interest in its
profits, and for the further purpose Of
increasing the mobility of the conduct
Of the paper at the present time, and
the ease with which its publication can
be continued. in the event OF the de-
parture from life OF anyone holding re-
lations OF chief responsibility or pro-
prietorship TO it." The candidness OF Mr..
Benefits statements does entirely away
with the impression that he incorporated
his paper because he needed ready money
and wished TO have shares Of its stock
which could be readily at any time con-
yerted into cash.

Mr.. Springer should not be displlced

LITERARY CHAT.

Worthington's illustrated magazine for June opens with very interesting pa- per entitled, "Random Notes on Hawa- iian Life," by c. T. Rodgers, NJ. D., a prominent physician, now and for many years a resident of Honolulu. Dr Rod gers is an able and interesting writer, a close student of human nature, aud per- sonally familiar with every phase of life in the Hawaiian Island, which are of so great commercial and political im- portance, and are now attracting the at- tention of the whole civilized world. We of the United States have an uncom- mon interest in them just at this time. The natural advantage of Hawaii; the it's native people, their homes, mode of dress and manner of living; the motley foreign population of Honolulu, it's streets and markets, are all portrayed n vivid and graphic style, by one whose profession and habits of keen observa- tion during many years residence in Honolulu make him thoroughly familiar with his subject. The illustrations are especially noticeable. We have never seen the Sunny Islands, more fully and beautifully illustrated. The en cravings are from special photograph; and are very artistically reproduced They add greatly to the interest anG enjoyment of the article.

HEADQUARTERS FOR PICTURES

The place to buy framed or unframed pictures of all kinds is at Northrop's art store, 31 John street, Bridgeport. He carries an immense assortment of un- framed pictures and frames them as de- sired at the lowest prices. If you have any pictures that need frames, leave them in the morning on your arrival in the city and you can have them to take home in the afternoon. He also has large line of fancy goods, stationery, toys, dolls, printing presses, electric motors, etc. He has just received lot of hand painted wall pockets which he offers for 90 to 99 cents. He has one set of Oaida' s works, 10 large volumes, good value at $5, for !S2.49. Those Franklin fountain pens that he sells are dandies, and his price only S1.50. Everyone should have one.

NOT A SUCCESS As A PoULTRYMAN.

Building Inspector Day is q great fancier of poultry, but is meeting with very poor success. During the past two months he has purchased many settings of eggs from fancy stock, and set them, awaiting with great expectations the re- suit. But he evidently expected to much, or counted on the chickens before they were matched. Out of nearly 200 eggs he has as yet not been able to secure even one of the coveted chicks. Still he believes in the old adage if at first you don't succeed. try, try, again.
 The Malleable Iron Co.,, have con- menced to fill in the creek on Iranistan avenue with the cinders from the factory. The residents of the West End are pleas ed to see this improvement on the way,
 as for years it has been an intolerable nuisance, one side of the street being us- ed as the dumping ground for rubbish and offal for near stores and residences. Dr I. De Yer Warner has large force
 of teams and men grading the lot adjoin-

 Rumor has it, that it was lately purchas- ed by Dr Warner, to be occupied by his daughter, Mrs N. W. Bishop.

 MT and Mrs D. W. Thompson of New York spent several days in town at their summer residence, Petrel's Nest. The open cars on the old line attra a great deal of attention and large patron age. This must be encouraging to the
 owners. It also shows them, that all that was needed was respectable accom-
 modations to secure patronage. Soon

THE GREAT CIRCUS.

The attendance at the circus, last week, yet twas large, and the show took in large money, much of which came in from the surrounding towns. Danburi- ans carried in their share of coin. The circus left considerable money, but the balance was greatly in favor of the show. It left fun and entertainment as fair equivalent, if one so views it. And it was instructive. There was an immense crowd on the streets to witness the pa- rade, which was fine. Such street pa founding. A herd of l2 elephants, some of them of huge size, with several cam- els caparisoned and mounted in oriental style, with scores of wild animals in open view, and hundreds of beautiful horses, many of them mounted by fair riders, and gilded chariots, with several bands of music, in long procession pa rading through the streets of sober New England town is still something immense. It is no wonder that thou sands flock to see the display, although of yearly occurrence. When the show men were putting up their tents and get ting ready to receive company horse, inspired by the exhilirating DanburY at mosphere, probably, pulled away from it's attendants and ran snorting towards the elephants. The elephants took the cue, and with trunks pointing sky ward and trumpeting, and tails sticking out like broomsticks, began grand l march. Prompt efforts of their keepers arrested them and prevented a general stampede.
