KY. (Stringtown), on a morning in go,
waiting to see a body of Morgan's Cavalry
come up the pike, and as these daring
cavaliers rode by he heard them gayly
singing a song called THE Homespun
Dress" But his memory afterward could
recall but the first stanza. Exhaustive
research among literature all over the
country failed to discover it, and as
last recourse he offered a reward.
The song has never been in print, but
the words are found in full in a manu-
script entitled Kentucky Cavaliers in

Carrollton, Ky.
The morning on which Prof. Lloyd
heard the song was when Morgan and his
men were in advance of Bragg's army

1.-THE most impressive scene 1 ever wit
messed occurred at a state convention"
said G. G.. Brady of Spokane, Wash, at
the Hotel Victoria yesterday. I'm 1899
a delegate from Spokane to the state
convention owed to a member of the
third house a large sum of money. As
security the lobbyist held a mortgage on
sons and to further certain ends the lob
byist desired to be present upon the floor
of this convention, and requested the del
egate to give up his seat to him. The
delegate, knowing that by so doing he
would not alone be false to his constitu-
ents. but that he would also enable the
lobbyist to further certain corrupt
schemes to the injury of the taxpayers,
refused Thereupon the lobbyist said to
him: If you don't give me your seat in
that convention l will foreclose the mort
gage l hold upon your home and throw
your wife and children out upon the
street The delegate, sorely depressed
by the ruin that threatened him, appealed
to a friend for assistance. The story
spread like wildfire, and the most intense
indignation ensued. So bitter was the
feeling II engepdered that had the lobby
tionably have been in danger. He left
the state and never dared to return.
This incident enabled Patrick Henry
Winston, the silver-tongued, to make
probably the most dramatic speech of his
career. The night the story leaked out
the caucus was held. and taking this
incident as his text Winston made an i'm
passioned speech. When he came to the
peroration he walked down the central
aisle of the convention saying, DO you
know what l would have done had that
man made that proposition to mel?
HE then drew from his coat a clasped
hunting-knife, and springing open its
seven-inch blade he held it above his
head In his right hand.
Had he made that proposition to me-
he went on, I would have buried this
dagger in his foul breast and have in
suited my Deity by offering on the altar
of liberty the most putrid-hearted Shy
lock that ever disgra ced this or any
other country For an instant there en-
sued a dead quiet. and then the conven-
ton rose to its feet with a wild yell. The
instance itself had made q most painful
impression, and this speech coming on
top of II so wrought on those present
that had the man who caused II been
present no earthly power could have then
saved bis life"

Chorus
Hurrah, hurrah,
For the Sunny South, so dear:
Three cheers for the homespun dress
The Southern ladies' wear!
Now, Northern goods are out of date;
And, since Old Abe's blockade
We Southern girls can be content
With goods that's Southern made.
We send our sweethearts to the war,
But girls, ne'er you mind
Your sodier-love will not forget
The girl he left behind
<rHe Southern lands a glorious land,
And has glorious cause:
Then cheer. three cheers for Southern
rights
And for the Southern boysl
We scorn to wear a bit of silk,
A bit of Northern lace,
But make our homespun dresses up,
And wear them with a grace.
And, now, young man, a word to you,
If you would win the fair.
Go to the field where honor calls
And win your lady there;
Remember that our brightest smiles
Are for the true and brave,
And that our tears are ell for those
