Yankee Doodle and Dixie.

Much has been said and written
concerning Bob Taylor and his lecture
tour, but in the following Bro. Huff,
Of the Magnolia, (Miss) Gazette, is
impartial in his words cf praise:
Messrs All and Bob Taylor, ex-
governor of Tennessee, and whom
Mississippi honors and admires as
native sons, are giving series OF their
suberb and inimitable lectures in this
state, and are reeverywhere greeted with
large and appreciatiye audiences.
Hon. ALI Taylor is q younger and
much better looking man than his
distinguished brother, and occupies
the fore part of the programme, with
a lecture reviewing the history Of
America from the time that Columbus
first set foot upon her bleak and rug
ged shore to the beginning Of the
civil war. He is undoubtedly the
finest word pic nrer ever heard in the
south and his vivid description OF the
irrepresaible American caused the DO.
som OF his hearers to heave with pride
and admiration. He pays glowing
tribute to the manhood, womanhood
and genius OF the American people
aud gives away to Robert in Yankee
Doodle and Dixie.
Bob Tayl2r is pre- eminently the
greatest lecturer the country has ever
produced and is perfectly enthusiastic
in his praises of Dixie. He says ours
is a country Of great empires, and he
has the utmost contempt for the
citizens Of either that does not believe
his the greatest of them all tie says
he loves Dixie best because it is the
best, that the sun rises on the empire
of the east and sets on the empire o
the west, but that it is at the zenith O
its glory when over the empire of Dixie
He takes no stock in the so called new
south but is proud Of the Old which he
says still endnres. He asserts that
there is still n Mason and Dixon line
that the war which put Yankee Doodle
on the pension list and Dixie on
crutches did not wipe it out; that it il
a line dividing people different il
their customs, principles end preju
dices.
