NEW STORY OF LINCOLN
Why He Had sDixie'' Played the
Night Richmond Surrendered. =

H. H. Twombly, in Washington Times.
1t was during the rapid collapse of tbs
Southern Confederacy that the interesting
incident l am about to relate occurred,
but which l have never seen in print. l
think it was ON the receipt in Washing
ton OF the news of the fall of Richmond,
the capital of the Confederacy, around
which SO many battles had been fought.
AS the news was circulated throughout
the city the people went wild with joy.
Stores were closed and nearly all busi-
ness, both public and private, was aban-
doned, and crowds gathered on the
streets Of the city, shouting and cheer
ing, and individually offering con gratula-
tions to each other.
31zA sudden impulse seemed to spread
through the excited crowds as If by magic
to- go to the White House and congra tu-
late the president on the signal victory,
and the happy populace wendell its wey in
that direction, gathering, as it went,
whatever of flags, ETC., it could find along
the route to enliven the occasion. and,
when the immense -concourse had gathered
in front of the White House, it was 4annd
a military band probably the Msrine
band) was there. The great crowd
cheered and the band played national airs
and war melodies and the president was
called for. He at once appeared at the
main entrance and stepped out to the
front of the portico, looking happier than
at any time during the four long years OF
war and strife, and addressed the count
less throng before him. He made no at.
tempt at oratory, but talked to the an
semblage in his well-known kindly man
ner. The thing most remarkable about
his address was that not one word of ex-
u1tatior was uttered by him in that hour
of triumph. On the contrary, he referred
to the enemy "our erring brethren
across the way and closed his remarks
substantially as follows: The band wa
have with us has rendered many beauti.
full airs, but there is one tune which has
ever been a great favorite of mine that
it did not play, and, by right of conquest,
/ think it now properly belongs to US. I
refer, to Dixie viii the leader of the
band favor us with 'Dixie?'"
OF course, the request was complied
with, and don't believe Dixie has ever.
been played before or since as it was on
that OCCASION and when the last note had
been given a mighty cheer went UP from
that vast concourse of happy people,
which could be heard for miles around.
and then and there, Dixie was
christened by the lamented Lincoln as one
of our national airs. and adopted by the
people assembled there. Why not go
further now and have it so recognized all
over our country. thus paying compli-
ment to both Lincoln and the south?

show that johnson did not8mean the girl

out with him. They were very friendly, and
both were found drunk few minutes later

Mr.. Picwlck on the stage; Merry Xmas;
with Charles Dickens jollIest character and
the popular comedian, DeWolfe Hopper, In
the title role, assisted by asplendid company
Xmas week will be mcrrily celebrated by
the appearance OF the favorite American
comedian, DeWolf Hopper in Charles Kleins
merry musical success "Mr Pickwck."
The dramatist and composer have evolved
remarkably clever musical production, and
De Wolf Hopper makes an ideal Mr.. Pick
wick, notwiths tauding the lncongruity OF
personality as given us by the author, he is
clever and entertaining and keeps within the
Dickens atmosphere.
Sam Weller as played by Digby Bell is
is said to be The most convincing and artistic
characterization ever seen on the stage, and
the Jingle of Grant Stewart is said to be no
less noteworthy bit of acting.
Miss Laura Joyce Bell is greatly praised
for an amusing caracature of Mrs. Bardel,
and Miss Louise Cunning the prma donna
of the company has met with success in The
role of the wilful and romantic Arabella
Wardle.
The first act shows the"Dingly Bell Arms"
with a ladies' seminary directly across the
street. 1t IN this scene that Mr.. Pick
wick attempts to anticipate elopements only
to be falsely accused, has stormy scene with
the breach of promise widow, who chases
him and members of the Pickwck Club
about at the point of her parasol-he drinks
too much punch and is left when the curtain
comes down with his head under the town
pump, and Samavell vigorously active on the
pump handle.
The second act is in the forest and delight
fully amusing, the score is said to possess
more than ordinary merit of catchy melody
and the production deliberately convincing.
