Authorrhip of "Dixie. ;,

To the Editor Of the Globe: .
In your issue Of the 18th instant your
answer to Correspondent-who inquiries
about the authorship of ''Dixie"-is not
quite correct Being an old musician,
who has kept track of these things in
this country, more or less. for about forty
years. l may be excused for taking the
liberty of correcting you. Dan Emmett
was merely the author of the words. L
am not aware that he ever claimed to
be the composer of the music. In fact,
the music Is an old English air called
Nancy in the Strand" There can be no
question about this. for I heard the song
myself before 1 ever heard Dixie and
remember well hearing the subject dts
cussed at the time "Dixie" first came out,
as near as can remember, about thirty
five years ago, but as l am writing en-
tirely from memory, / cannot tell to a
year or two. Even our dear old '"Star
Spangled Banner is taken from an old
English melody. And In fact might
keep on indefinitely on the subject, but
probably I have bored your readers
enough for the present on the authorship
Of old songs. w. 8. Graham

THE THING TO DO.

The popular enthusiasm which prevails
regarding Admiral Dewey is in the high
est degree. .creditable to the American
people. The forms of expression which
are given to 1t do not, however, always
commend themselves to thoughtful OBJ
servers We have learned through the
cable. oyer the admirars signature, that
the condition of his health is such as
renders the excitement of public demon
stations in every respect undesirable It
would be but human to expect Admiral
Dewey would ordinarily enjoy the mani
festations of public admiration and an
probation which are usually bestowed on
men who have distinguished themselves
greatly. But, in the modest way so char
acterfstic Of the man, he has made il
plain that the burden of public recep-
tions and demonstrations can be borne
by him only at a serious cost to both lis
health and personal comfort.
Instead, then, of subiecting this nation-
al hero to the discomfort of public ex-
hibitions, as is so generally sought. #
would be much more fitting if he were
allowed upon his arrival home to quietly
retire to his native Green Mountains. or
wherever else he may care to go. for a
period of recuperation. The public
have endured delay of year or
over in the public expression of their feel
ing about his achievement in the bay of
Manila: They can readily be expected to
submit to an additional period of delay
rather than make their kindness and APP
probation cause of pain to its object
rather than of pleasure.
