A Dismal, Rainy Day Moved Dan En-

bOth words and music. 1t was sung
for the first time Monday. Sept. 10,
1859. Oh the stage Of Bryant's MINISTRIES
at III Broadway. New York. There
has been much controversy over the
question 81 authorship and over the
music. The known history OF the song
has been carefully compiled by Gus
tay Kobbe in bis Famous Americas
Songs" ~ follows:
"0n SAT- rday night, Sept. II. 1859.
after she performance one Of the Bry-
ants told Emmett that II new walk
around was wanted in time for re-
hearsal on Monday. The minstrel re-
piled that. while the time was very
short, be would do his best. That
night after be reached home he tried
to hit upon some tune, but the music
wouldn't ONE. His wife cheerily told
him TO wait until morning. He should
nave the room. to himself so that he
could work u~ndisturbed. and when he
had finished the walk around he could
play 1t for her as a sole audience. If
she liked it the Bryants would and so
would the average listener.
Next day was rainy and dismal.
Some years before Emmett had Travelled
with a circus as a drummer. In winter
the warm southern circuit was a popu-
lar route with circus people, and those
who were obliged to show north would
say when the cold weather would make
them shiver. i wish | was In Dixie
The phrase was. in fact, a current cir
Gus expression. On that dismal Sep

the ~equinoctial, when Emmett stepped
to the window and looked out the old
longing for the pleasant south came
over him. and involuntarily he thought
to himself, Il wish | was in Dixie
Like a fash the thought suggested
