Much less is it antique;

And yet it is unique.
Dan Emmett, in tho fifties,
To meet q quick demand,
Ran off the tripping measure
For q colored minstrel band,
And laid the scene in Dixie,
The Sunny Southern Land.
When war came on soon after.

The melody and music
Had caught the common ear,
And fit the martial feeling
As q bsttle-song most dear.
1t came ct just the moment
To suit the people South,
And the simple tune, 80 catchy,
Made vocal every moxth,
And set on FIRE our women,
And the sged and the youth.
In camp, when led to battle.
At evening dress parade,
1t was spirit to the soldier.
To company, brigade,
To every great division,
And every Staff and Aid.

New Industry.

B. F. Jones who has just returned
from trip down the coast where
he has been examining the beach
mines, says VIM. Stitt is in receipt
of letter from Capt. J. R. Mullett,
of New York, in which the captain
says he will arrive at Seal Rocks in
the near future and will employ
men and boats and capture alive
fifty head of sea lions, which he
will ship to Europe via New York.
Capt. Mullett says he has been en-
gagged in this business for the past
twenty years, and has heretofore
done his hunting at Santa Barbara,
California, but sea lions are scarce
at that place and he is in seaach of
new grounds.
Mr.. Jones says Seal Rock, which
is about half mile off shore, had at
least thousand head upon it
Wednesday and it was great sport
to see them tumbling over one an
other and basking in the sun shine.
He says there is one great, big
fellow who seems to be boss and
who always sets on the very top
pinnacle of the rock and seems to
roar louder and have more to say
than all the rest. Billy Stitt has
noted this fellows appearance for
many years and calls him Mark
Hannah.
AS some of the male lions weigh
over 1900 pounds it will be quite
interesting to see them caught and
Grated, and 1 have no doubt but
what there will be many spectators
at Seal Rocks to witness the cap
ture Of these fine animals of the
deep.

Toledo Public School.

The seventh and eighth grade
pupils have the privilege of a re.
public, that is, Prof. Holm told us
if we were willing to carry it ou,
he would give us the privilege OF
running our own school, but if we
preferred monarchy we could just
say so and it should hereafter be
ruled as such. We preferred a
republic as we do not consider our
selves to be as the Russians, so ig-
norant that we must be ruled by a
czar. Prof. Holm being chief
executive officer we proceeded to
elect our officers, and we of course
have a constitution prepared by a
committee of one, but we adopted
it by sections so that all had a say
in making the laws. The consti.
tuition is signed by all, requiring
but two-thirds Of members present.
There is also committe on morn
ing entertainment, and every morn.
ing something interesting will be
rendered.
Our sick pupils have all returned
but Iona Ewing, who is getting
better.
The primary grades participated
in the entertainment held at the
M. E. church, and it was enjoyed
by them fully as much as by
others.

A little boy over in Weston was
required to write an essay the other
day on the subject of Newspapers"
and here is the result: II don't
know how newspapers came into
the world, and don't think God
does, for he hasn't got nothing to
say about them, and editor is not
in the bible. I think the editor is
one of the missing links you hear
about, and stayed in the brush
until after the flood, then came out
and wrote the thing up, and has
been here ever since. I don't
think he ever dies; I never saw a
dead 'un and never heard of one
getting licked. Our paper is a
mighty poor 'un; the editor goes
'thout underclothes all winter, don t
wear no socks and pa hasn't paid
his subscription in five yeary."
