Native American Music.

From HArper's Magazine.
 There is hidden among the mountains of Kentucky, Tennessee and the Carolinas a people of whose inner nature and it's musical expression almost nothing has been said. The music of the southern mountaineer is not only peculiar. but. like himself. peculiarly American. Nearly all mountaineers are singers. Their un- trained voices are of good timbre. the women's being sweet and high and trem- ulous and their sense of pitch and tone and harmony remarkably true. The fid- dler or the banjo-p player Is well treated and beloved among them, like the min strel of feudal days.
