"LOOkAway"to The Author of''Dixie.'


There is not song so dear to the
Southern people as che old Confede'
rate war song, Dixie" Its melody is
sweeter and has made more hearts
glad in this Southland of ours than
all other compositions OF music COM
bined, and why the author is so neg
lected and forgotten is doubtless due TO
the fact that is not generally known Il
that Daniel Emmetts is still living at
his old home near Mount Vernon, o.,
in very destitute circumstances, his
only support being what he receives
from the actors fund OF New York
The hundreds of thousands of South.
erners who have learned to love the
song so dearly should consider it a
great pleasure to have the privilege oil
supporting this old man handsomely
the remainder OF his days, which will
not be many, as be is now eighty years
old. Songs may come and songs
may go, but with the Southernel
Dixie will be sung forever" II The
author ia allowed to live and die Ii
poverty, after having given the South
this beautiful and grand old song
then Dixie" should be relegated to
the shades of the past never again t.
be resurrected by the people living
south of the Mason and Dixon line.

VIII Complete the Road.

According to previous announce.
ment the stockholders of the Ohio
River & Charleston Railway Company
met in this city last Thursday, the
9th ult., to consider an issue OF 49,.
100000 in securities to complete the
road, Mr.. ]. ]. Collier, OF Philadel-
phia, represented a large number OF
the Boston and Philadelphia stock
holders by proxy. Three-fourths oil
the stock was represented and voted
unanimously to issue bonds necessary
for the immediate completion OF the
line. President Hunt did not attend
but in an interview in the Cincinnati
Enquirer of the 2Sth ultimo he il
quoted as saying that the work will
be pushed forward at once. To those
who know Mr.. Hunt this statement
carries conviction that he means Just
what he says. He has never giyer
out any information since he has beer
connected with the road that was cal
culated to mislead or create falls,
hopes. This policy is directly opposes
to that pursued by the former (mis)
managers of the road and has ratht
had the effect of creating an imp es
sion that nothing would be done O,
the line in the near future. Recen
developments, however, have cause,
a very decided revival of interest il
the matter, and the statements an,
actions of President Hunt and assc
ciates are causing a renewal OF conf
dence in the early resumption OF wor
all along the line aud its final compile

Collier while here were in keepin

Richard Burton has a strong arti-
Gle in the April Forum dealing with
the "Healthful Tone for American
Literature" Would that all writer's
could imbibe that pure and lofty
tone which he advocates, so that the
morbid appetite for disease-stricken
scribblings would die death from
starvation, We need, as he saws,
IAN American literature +
which shall be at once prac-
teal and ideal; practical, since it is
honest expression of national life
and thought ideal, for that it pre-
sents not facts alone, but symbols,
is not merely Photographic but arts
tic by reason Of its sensing the rela-
tive proportion Of things and the all
important role of imaginative repre-
sentation. Such school of writers
will beget poets and novelists who
are also patriots, clasping clean and
loyal hands and taking an inextin-
guishable JOY in their work, which
they hope shall be for the healing of
the nation, And all the people will
say, amen"
