Emmett wrote Dixie" while he was a member
of the famous Bryant's Mnstrels which he had
joined in 1857. He known already as the
composer of "Old Dan Tucker" and he
gagged by Bryant not only in the capacity of
stage performer, but also 10 compose Negro songs
and walk-arounds. The performance always
wound up with an e..s,mble called the walk
genuine bit of plantation life. The composition
of fetching walk-arounds knack with En-
nett that made him valuable acquisition for
minstrel troupe. Moreover, he had good voice
and played many instruments, but especially
violin and flute
On Saturday night September II, 1852 after
the performance, one of the Bryants told Emmett
that a walk-around was wanted in time for
rehearsal Monday. The minstrel replied that
while the time was very short he would do his

to hit upon some tune. but the music wouldn't
come. His wife cheerily told him to wai: until
morning. he should have the room to himself so
that he could work undsturbed, and when he
had finished the walk-around he could play it for
her sole audience. If she liked it, the Bryants
would and so would the average listener.
Next day rainy and dismal. Some years
before, Emmett had travelled with circus as
drummer. In winter the warm Southern circuit
was popular route with circus people, and those
who were obliged to show North would say

night mass liz the occasion which
brings thousands to the churches.
These fine edifces are thrown open
and blaze with myriads OF candles and
electric lights.
Manila at midnight on Christmas
eve is probably gayer than at any 9th
err time OF the year. The streets are
thronged with carriages and people in
their best attire. Many Americans
turn cut on Christmas eve also to see
the displays and the people and make
church to church Inspection tours In
parties Fine trained choirs and string
ed erchestras render excellent music.
The weather during the holiday sea
son is just cool enough to dispei the
chronic laziness which pervades Ma

Government Ownership of
Telephones and Telegraphs.

Tt is interesting to note that Presf-
dent Wilson IS seriously considering
the question OF government ownership
Of telephones ana te1egraphs.
Postmaster General Burieson, who
has been giving the matter much
study, recently talked with the presi-
dent about it, and on leaving the
White House said that he found the
chief executive in a particularly re-
eept1ve frame Of mind. Continuing.
The postmaster general said:
There Is no doubt that the inaugu-
ration OF the parcel post and the pos
tai savings system has given a tremen-
x5ous impetus to the desire of people
an over the country to have the gov
4EDment become the means OF COM
huuu1cation everywhere. 10 is sub
iecf involving two or three hundred
rnfIlitxa dollars. and we must go very
slowly in inuuiring into it Every
great nation except us has adopted 1T.
When Sir Herbert Samuels, post
master general of Great Britain, was
here recent1y / had tEFo long talks with
him. II has proved a success in Eng
land. i don't want to make any recon-
7nenda&fons to congress until am abb
HoIuteay sure Of my ground.
The success Of the postal service by
the government affords the best OF rea-
sons for believing that the telephone
and telegraph service could be- oper-
nted with similar success.
AS a matter OF fact. II It IS proper
and businesslike for the government
to transmit intelligence by the slow
process Of the mails why should it not
be equally proper and businesslike for
the government to transmit intelli-
gence by the quicker and more mod
ern process Of the telephone and the
telegraph?
