xVI.-From Notre Dame 10 Austerlitz.
To the new French empire the consular
republic contributed one fact of trans
cendent Importance. That was the Code
Napoleon work which the emperor re-
garded 10 the end Of his days as his great
est gift 10 posterity. Before the revolu-
ton. France had had as many laws as
provinces. The cynical Vol1aire declared
that in his country the traveller must
change his code as often as he changed
horses.
The question OF unifying and national
izing the statutes OF France had been be-
fore the states general az Versailles. BY
that body the measure was remanded TO
the national and constituent assemblies;
by these. 10 the conventions; by that 70
the directory. and by that 10 the consul
late. Here then. had arisen a power al
last that was able 10 revise and reform. a
commission was appointed by the first
consul. headed by the great lawyer Tron-
Chef. 10 reconstruct the Jurisprudence OF
France.
In four months this commission made
its report 10 the council of state Napo-
leon personally presided The project OF
the commission was read. discussed, and
passed on, clause by clause. On the 9Th OF
March, 1893. the Code Civile des Francois
was completed and published. il consisted
Of twenty-five hundred and eighty-one ar
ticles. These We're arranged under three
heads: The Rights of Persons; the Laws
of Property. and the Methods Of Acquiring
Property. In the code the clements of Ro-
man law and the law-customs OF the
French people We're blended with singular
skill. Though in the political vicissituies
of France many notifications and not
little patchwork were added thereto, the
code itself gained in the estimation OF
mankind. 1t was disseminated by the inn
perial conquests into the greater part Of
Europe, and was adopted by one people
after another. The Code Napoleon be-
came the basis of Jurisprudence. not only
in France, but in Sicily. Holland, Bel
GUM. the Rhine provinces, Switzerland,
Poland, and in all the countries dominated
by the Latin races in Europe and America.

stature. made him almost a specter. IN

SONGS OF THE SOUTH.

With the advent of war, poetry and song
began in one shape or another to find their
themes throughout the south-the woman
at her hearthstone and the soldier in tho
field; to represent all aspects of popular
feeling-the enthusiasm of victory, the de-
spondency Of defeat, the pride that exulted
in the hero and the grief that mourned
his loss.
Three distinctive songs, however, quick
ly became sectional and were adopted as
expressive of the popular feeling-"Dix-
lie, MY Maryland" and 1.-THE Bonnie
Blue Flag" The history of each is in
teresting, especially that of the first, which
appears to have taken place with Tho
Star Spangled Banner and Yankee
Doodle" Its author is Dan Emmett,
who still lives at the ripe old age of 70.
Recently, being asked to relate the cir
cumstances of its composition, he said:
"In the spring of 1859 I was in the en-
ploy Of the Bryant minstrels in New York,
at 472 Broadway, and my particular bust
ness was to invent walk arounds. Ono
Saturday night Jerry Bryant came to me
and asked IL couldn't write a 'hurrah'-
something to make noise with and get
the people stirred up. told him thought
] could. Sunday being rainy day, re-
manned ut home and composed what then
named Il Wish 1 Was In Dixie's Land
Nobody ever knew how 1t came to be called
Dixie Well, Jerry was SO delighted
with 1t that he made us rehearse all day
Monday for the evenings performance
The song was a go right from the start
Bands played 1t. Musical people in Gin
cinnati, Louisville and Now Orleans crib
bed 1t, and lawsuits followed until Firth
Sc Pond published 1t under my own name
and so settled the dispute as to author
ship" 1t was first sung In New Orleans IN
1860, tho original words, from which all
other versions sprang, being as follows:

HUMOR IN SONG.

Humor had Its place among the war
songs as well as sentiment and martial
spirit. Henry G. Work, the author of
marching Through, Georgia" wrote;
GRATED INTO THE ARMY.
Our Jimmy has gone to live in q tent;
They have grated him into tho army.
Ho finally puckcred up courage and went
When they grated him into tho army.
told them tho child was too young. Alas,
At the captains forequarters they said he
would pass
They'd train him up well in the infantry class
So they grated him into the army.
CHORUS.
Oh, Jimmy, FAREWELL Your brothers fell
Way down in Alabarmy;
] thought they would spare lone widder's
heir,
But they grated him into the army.

A Cut Purse.

For several centuries the purse was
always worn fastened to the girdle.
A cut purse got its name from the
fact that rather than take the time
to loose the purse from the belt,
where it was secured by buckles, one
cut the straps.

Other touching songs of affection that be-
long to this group are Mother, I've Come
Homo to DE-, Brothers Painting at
the Door" and "The Vacant Chair" The
latter, by Henry S. Washburn, is still a
favorite throughout the country:
THE VACANT CHAIR.
We shall meet, but we shall miss him;
There will be one vacant chair;
We shall linger to caress him
While we breathe our evening prayer.
When, year ago, we gathered,
Joy was in his mild blue eye,
But golden chord is severed,
And our hopes in ruins lie.
CHoRUs.-We shall meet, etc.
At our fireside, sad and lonely,
Often will the bosom swell
At remembrance Of the story
How our noble soldier fell
How he strove to bear our banner
Through the thickest of the fight
And upheld our country's honor
In the strength of manhood's might.
True, they tell us wreaths Of glory
Evermore will deck his brow,
But this soothes the anguish only
Sweeping DER our heartstrings now.
Sleep today, o early fallen,
In thy green and narrow bedi
Dirges from the pine and cypress
Mingle with the tears we shed.
