HE'S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW.

Turning to more conviv1al lays, the
first which occur to the mind are the
companion songs, I'VE Won't Go Home
Till Morning" and For He's a Jolly
Good Fellow" which own a tune in
common. With reference to the words
of the latter, they certainly run into
something that may by courtesy be
termed a couplet, but OF I'VE Won't
Go Home Till Morning" nothing, ap-
parently, has survived beyond the two
lines intimating the singers disinclin-
alton to seek repose. Whether a match
less epic has been lost to the world or
whether the poets inspiration gave out
after the one immortal statement his
tory sayeth not AT any rate, the ac-
cumulated archives of the British Mu-
scum can yield no information on the
question, so, failing this, the words of
these two most jovial ditties must per-
force be classed together as ''tradi-
tional." The tune, on the contrary, is a
case in point Of English adaptability, for
as most people know il primarily aD-
pertained to "Malbrook sen va ten
guerre'-verses not only made in
France" but containing distinctly anti
English sentiments. Both words and
music were composed during the great
Duke of Marlborough's campaign, but
the date is not positively known. One
authority indeed asserts that it can be
assigned to this night after the battle
of MaIplaquet, but this somehow does
not carry conviction. Hungry soldiers,
worn out by the long days fighting,
would not be likely to embark on a
lengthy descriptive poem. to say moth
ing of the accompanying music The
poem is a curiosity in its way, consist
ing of some forty-two verses which.
when shorn of a good deal of "Miron-
ton Mirontaine,' give full and minute
particulars of the imaginary but
wished-for death of Malbrook. Among
other interesting details described is

CIVIL WAR VETERAN DEAD
OFFICIALLY FIVE YEARS

William H. Lewis of this village,
veteran OF the War Of the Rebellion,
had a peculiar experience and for up
ward of five years was to all intents
and purposes a dead man. His grave
and the marker which indicates where
he was buried can still be seen in the
National Cemetery at Sharpsbury, Md.
Mr.. Lewis enlisted at Albany, May
81, 1851, in Captain Charles Riley's
Company F of the famous Thirty
fourth Regiment, commanded by
James A. Suiter. Lewis went through
the Peninsula campaign without a
scratch until the bloody battle at An
tietam, when he was shot five times,
twice in the legs and once in the face.
He was left on the field for dead and
for two days and nights lay out in the
open, suffering untold agonies, and
should Lewis live to be 100 years old
he will never forget the hours spent
on that battlefield. He was among the
dead reported September II, 1852, and
his body was supposed to have been
removed from the battlefield and
placed in grave No. S44 in the Ma
tional Cemetery at Sharpsburg. Nd.

Instead, however, Lewis was re-
moved to a shed, where he remained
a prisoner for seven days, when he
was exchanged and transferred to
Washington, being honorably dis
charged for surgical disability March
%, 1863. The wound in the face was
a peculiar one and never since he was
shot has he been able to open his
mouth wide.
In 1868, when he made application
for a pension, Mr.. Lewis was promptly
informed by the Pension Department
at Washington that he was killed at
the battle of Antietam and that there
was no such man as William H. Lewis.

there would be conflict in the territory be-
tween LiaO-Yang and Feng- Wang Cheng and
some Of the experts expect this will occur be-
fore the promised attack on Port Arthur.
From the latter place no information appears
to come unless observers are willing to accept
as worthy OF consideration the report extracted
from a Chinese spy. who gives in to-day's dis
patches the news that the food supply Of the
Russians there will not last more than two
months. and that the supply OF coal does not

The naval officers here are greatly interested
in the report that the Russian ship CZarevitch

suggests that other Russian ships reported dis

excites naval comment is the decision of the

discussion lately. more outside the navy than
