MENTION THIS PAPER. THE HURON EXPOSITOR. SOUTHERN BONGS. A Number of Favorites That Were Writ- ten by Northern Composers. "Dixie's Land," which is • really the proper name of the song, was written by Dan Emmett in 1843. Ho was ono of the original four of Bryant's celebrated min- strels, who played that year in the old Park theater in Park row, in New York city and opposite the present city hall. The other members of the noted four were Dick Pelham, Billie Whitlock and Joe Sweeney. Emmett is the only one of the four now living. Hghas resided for a number of years atMount Vernon and oc- cupies a small house lit that town. He has for some time drawn 'a moderate weekly allowance from the Actors' fund, and the money thus received has been the chief source of support. "Dixie" is as lively and popular an air today as it over was, and its reputation is not confined to the American continent. It is played in Europo and ranks with the finest of the simple airs in touching' the emotions of the people, and wherever it is played by a big, strong band tho auditors cannot help keeping time to the music. It is wall known in all thecapitals of Eu- rope and never fails to awaken vigorous applause. Nine -tenths of the best songs known as southern melodies were written by north- ern men, and tho southern soldiers during the war were keen enough to seize ``Dixie" and appropriate it as their most captivat- ing air, Foster, an Ohio man, wrote more of the ' genuinely beautiful plantation songs than any man in his time, his three best compositions being "Old Folks at Homo," "My 01d Kentucky Home, Good Night," and "Massa's In de Cold, Cold Ground." Foster, like all northern men who have written =similar songs, did not understand thoroughly the negro dialect, but his ideas were all right, and his com- positions were full of sentiment and pathos. Of all the southern dialect song writers Will S. .Hays of Kentucky- easily takes first rank. His "Roll Out -Heave Dat Cotton," a river steamboat song, is perhaps his most clever effort: Foster fell into the error of making the negro say "rnassa" instead of "marster." Some of the old slaves brought directly from Africa doubtless pronounced the word "massa," and perhaps a small per- centage of..the coast negroes inay have done so, but''th'o average darky says "mars - ter" with a broad accent, and his abbrevi- ation in the days of slavery was always "mars." In bis "Texas Steer" .Hoyt has also fallen into the same error. In his song of "Dixie's Land" Emmett proved that ho was quite familiar with the negro dialect. It was very hastily composed and was gotten up within three days to be tried at a performance at which Emmett was to do ono of his popular walk arounde. That was his groat act in his palmy, prosperous days, when ho was so well known to the lovers of minstrelsy. Emmett was never a performer on the ban- jo. lie used to fiddle pretty well, and ten years ago ho had thei reputation of being an expert on the fife, which instrument he frequently used at the performances. It is said that even now he can handle a fife. with considerable skill. - Washington Post. The First Iron Stoves. One of the very first' attempts at mak- ing an iron stove was y Count or Cardi- nal Polignao elf Franc early in the eight- eenth century. The r€sults of his efforts worn simply iron fire )laces, constructed with hollow backs, earths and iron jambe. The only imp evement it showed over tho old fireplace 'as a slight saving g of heat. In the year 1716 Dr. Dosaugliers of London improved be Polignao fire- places to such an extent that they could be used for burning coal h• well as wood. Dr. Franklin's stove, invented in the year 1745, was a great improvement on everything in the stove 1 ine that bad pro - ceded it. The principles upon which it - was constructed were similar to the air- tight stoves introduced hn any years later. Indeed it is believed that had it been pos- sible at that time for funders to make tight fitting castings the Franklin experi- ment would have been : it tight. About the year 1775 -there is so ne dispute about tho exact Hato -Dr. Franklin improved his stove so as to make i suitable for the consumption of common °•ituminous coal. In 1785 Benjamin Th.mpson (Count Rumford) made severs improvements on Franklin's designs. In 1833 J. L. Mott made the first stove that •ould burn an- thracite coal. Since tho l est named date hundreds of inventors ha'0 taken part in bringing the stove up to its present per- fection. -St. Louis Repub io.

The first appearance in modern Europe of the male hairdresser was not until the eighteenth century, when Leg os, Frederic end Leonard made their callin as famous as Vattcl or Soyer did theirs.

A Case In Which It Proved More Effective Than Extended Argument. Daniel Webster said that some time aft- er he commenced the practice of his pro- fession in Boston a circumstance occurred which forcibly impressed upon his mind the sometimes conclusive eloquence of si- lence, and he wondered no longer that the ancients had erected a statue to her as a divinity. A man in New Bedford, Mass., said Mr. Webster, had insured a ship, lying at the time at the wharf there, for an amount much Larger than its real value in ono of the Boston insurance offices. One day news arrived in Boston that his ship had suddenly taken fire and burned to the water's edge. It had been insured in the insurance company of which_Genoral Ar- nold Wells was president and. Mr. Webster the attorney. General Wells told Mr. Webster of the misfortune that had happened to the com- pany in the loss of a vessel so largely in- sured, communicating to him at the same time tho somewhat extraordinary manner in which it had been destroyed. "Do you intend," asked Mr. Webster, "to pay the insurance?" 2 "I shall be obliged to do so," tho gen- oral answered. "I think not, for I have no doubt from the circumstances attending the loss that the ship was sot on fire vajth the intent to defraud the company of the insurance." "But how shall wo prove that? And what shall wo say to Mr. B. when ho calls for the money?" "Say nothing," replied Mr. Webster, "but hear quietly what he has to say.." Some few days after this conversation Mr. B. came up to Boston and presented himself to General Arnold Wells at the in- surance office. Mr. B. was a man very careful of his personal appearance and of punctilious demeanor. .He powdered his hair, wore clean ruffles and well brushed clothes and had a gravity of speech be - coining a person of respectable position. All this demanded civil treatment, and whatever night bo thought of hint ono would naturally use no harsh language toward him. He had a defect in his left eye, so that when he spoke ho turned his right and sound eyo to the person ho ad- dressed, with a somewhat oblique angle of the head, giving it something such a turn as a hen who discovers a hawk in the air. General Wells had a correspond- ing defect in his right eye. "I was not present at the interview," says Mr. Webster, "but I have heard it often described by those who were. Gen- eral Wells came out from an inner office on the announcement of Mr. B.'s arrival and fixed him (to use a French expression) with his sound eye, looking at him se• riously, but calmly. Mr. B. looked at General Wells with his sound eye, but not steadily, rather as if ho thought to turn the general's right flank. ``They stood thus, with their eyes cock- ed at each other, for more than a min uto before either spoke, when Mr. B. thought it best to take the initiative. " `It is a pleasant day; General Wells, though rather cool.' it is, as you say, Mr. B., a pleasants though rather cool day,' replied the gen, eral without taking his eye down from it - range. " -I should not be surprised, general,' continued Mr. B., `if we should have a fall of snow soon.' " `Thera might be a more surprising circumstance 'than a fall of snow in Feb- ruary.' "Mr. B. thereupon shifted his foot and topic. He did not feel at case, and the less so from his desperate attempt to con- ceal his embarrassment. " 'When do you think, general,' he in- quired after a short pause, `that congress will adjourn?' " `It is doubtful, I should think, Mr. B., when congress will adjourn. Perhaps not for some time yet, as great bodies, you know, move slowly.' " 'Do you hear anything important from that quarter, general?' `Nothing, Mr. B.' "Mr. B. by this time had become very dry in tho throat, a sensation, I have been told," says Mr. Webster, "one is apt to feel who finds himself in an embtiarrassod position,from which ho sees no possiblity of escape. He feared to advance and did not know bow ter make a successful retreat. At last, after one or two desperate and in- effectual struggles to regain self posses- sion, finding himself all the while within point blank range of that raking oye, be wholly broke down and took his leave without the least allusion to tho matter of insurance. Ho never returned to claim his money." -Bow Bells. The Value of Politeness. The phase man was dilating on the val- ue of politeness everywhere, but especially in stores, and remarked that he would dis- charge a clerk for impoliteness or inatten- tion quicker than ho would for petty theft. An old resident of Roxbury overheard the remark, and as an illustration of the importance of politeness on the part of salesmen said: "A good many years ago I went to New York in company with my friend B One snowy day we strolled into A. T. - Stew- art's store. Neither of us intended to make a purchase. We merely went there as a matter of curiosity. "At the door wo were met by a polite gentleman, who insisted that ho should 'take our overcoats and umbrellas to re- lieve us of the burden of carrying them about the store. We told him we were nob intending to purchase anything, but that made no difference in his attentions.' Another equally polite gentleman insisted on escorting us through the building. The fact that we did not intend to purchase goods did not lessen his courtesy. "Finally to entertain us the courteous clerk showed us a largo invoice of shawls which had just been received.' Tho clerk unfolded ono after the other, and by and by my friend said ho would take a $1,500 India shawl which pleased him, and a little 'later I purchased a valuable carpet. When wo entered tho 'store neither of us had the slightest intention of making a purchase of anything, butt the politeness of that clerk put more than $2,000 into the till of A. T. Stewart which would not have been there otherwise: "You aro quite right in emphasizing the value of politeness. It is the most val- uable commodity a man or woman can carry about. It may sometimes be mis- placed, but in the lung run it pays. "-Bos- ton Journal. The Little Helpers. The Little Helpers is the title of a club of young women in Dunkirk' whose members sow for the poor. The name is scarcely appropriate now, but it was en- tirely fitting when the club was formed. Years ago, when the present members were little girIt, they formed a sewing class. Later they Made articles for poor people, and they Have kept on until now they are all young' women, but their townsfolk still know them as the Little Helpers. McKillop Directory for 1895.

HE WAS FROM PHILADELPHIA. Unused to Travel on New York Cable Cara, the Quaker Raised Many Alarms. 'tho conductors of quite a number of e;,4310 cars had observed him standing at the coruer of Cortlandt street, and two or three had stopped on his signal to take him aboard, but as ho seemed to expect the car to go to the curbstone for him they had pulled the bell again in disgust. Finally a conductor stopped his car a few yards beyond the corner and patiently waited until he made up his mind to risk crossing Broadway to reach the car. He had placed his gripsack on the platform very carefully and was proceeding with great deliberation to lift his foot to the step when the cnududtor, his patience ex- hausted, grabbed him with one hand and pulled the bell with the other, giving him a yank that shot his grip into the far cor- ner of the car and landed him :beside ib. Surprise at first mastered his indigna- tion; but, the latter gradually asserting it- self, he rose with as much dignity as he could command and started toward the rear end of the car to have it out with his assailant. Just as ho reached the middle of the carryall, however, the grip had got a fresh hold, and with its characteristic abruptness jerked the car farw: and un- ceremoniously dropped,,hini in tee lap of fl stout lady, who, refusing his . apology, jabbed him in the ribs with a packaao she carried. "My dear madam," he gasped. "Don't talk to me, you blundering ele- phant. If you don't know how to walk, why don't you strap yourself down in the corner?" Ile subsided, but not for long. Ho was on his feet as the car speeded down the incline toward Canal street, clinging to the window with apprehension written in every line of his face. "We shall all be killed!" he cried to the man sitting next to hila. "That's all right," responded the man addressed. "Don't you. alarm yourself. They ain't breaking any records on this line," and ho cheerfully resumed his paper. When the curve was reached at Union square, he rose, with a frightened cry. The next moment he was flying from one end of the car to the other, buffeted from side to side, until he landed in a heap on the rear platform. , ist as the car came to a standstill at 1 it'teenth street. "Police! Police!" ho yelled, and a blue - coated protector, who had been helping a hackman to bold up a tree, responded to the call and demanded. to know the trou- ble. "Arrest that loan!" cried the passenger. ' "I demand his arrest for racing on a public thoroughfare." The officer looked at the conductor for an explanation as the passenger jumped down and placed his hand upon his shoul- der for support. Tho conductor placidly handed out the gripsack, winked know- ingly at the policeman and merely an- swered: "That's all right. He's front Philadel- phia." -New York Herald. Tho 1?iuuous Orient Express. A woman who has spent some time abroad tells as one of her Most interesting experiences across the water of a trip from Paris to Constantinople on the famous ori- ent exp,:Jss, than which wo have nothing really better in railroad service even in this country, famed for such things. "Only 60 passengers aro allowed on each train," sho says, "and the faro is about $60 for a ride of 2 days and 18 hours. The train is not very long and includes a dining, a cooking, a baggage and three sleeping cars, draw.0 by relays of most powerful locomotives. ,The speed is not so very great -about 28 miles an hour -but, consider- ing that the train runs on innumerable railway systems, striking all sorts of tracks and road managements, some of which are very poor, and crosses seven frontiers, the record is not so bad. "Oise way the officers facilitate the fron- tier business is by carrying seven differ- ent cabinets of wine, each containing the wino of one country alone, and that, pro- tected by tho government seal of the coun- try as it is reached, is used as wo whirl through its boundaries. There were four conductors on the train, and my husband, who is quite a statistician, found out that two men were carried who did nothing,but oil the engines, which we got fresh every three hours, and that pure olive oil was used for the purpose. It took 50 gallons to keep the machinery in smooth running order for a single trip. "-New York Times. Buying Apples In Maine. "The apple buyers have to be fellows who can sec through a millstone," says one of the Maine fraternity. "We do not often get taken in, for there's a sort of mental telegratihy that tells us when to investigate, and, that's what I mean by 'seeing through a millstone.' I was taken in once, though, by a man who brought 17 barrels a dozen miles and looked me calmly in the eyes as he assured me quiet- ly they were all Al in size and quality. I looked ono barrel all through, and as they were all right my mental alarm bell re- mained quiet. So I paid him a first class price, and he went off with his money. In less than ten minutes, having occasion to move one of the other barrels, a loose head- ing dropped out, and the contents rolled upon the floor, displaying as mean a piece of deaconing as it was ever my lot to see. There were good apples at the ends, but the middle part was good for nothing. I ex- amined the other barrels and found every one, except that 3 looked through at first, a rank fraud. I went for the seller before he had time to leave town and made him pay back the money and take his apples home with him. You can bet I notified itil the other buyers in that part of Maine, and now that man can't sell a peck of po- tatoes without its being well looked over beforehand. "-Lewiston Journal. Appreciation of Goad Talking. There aro many stories illustrating the ease with which the Indians are duped by the Mexicans. I know, for instance, that a Mexican once bought from an Indian a sheep on credit, and after killing it paid for it with the head, hide and entrails, and the. Indian was perfectly satisfied. Another Mexican did better still. He paid for his sheep with these same deli- cacies, and "spoke so well" that the In- dian was content to remain in his debt as the final result of the transaction. The richest Indian in the whole Sierra was in- duccd to sell 11 oxen to a Mexican who had de•roted a week of his persuasive pow- ers to consummating the trade At last it was agreed. that he should pay two cows for each ox. As he had no cows with him he took the oxen, leaving his horse and saddle as security. The Indian is still waiting. When I ex1ressed my surprise to the 'Indian at the ease with which he had been thus cheated, the reply was that the Mexican "spoke so well." There aro so few Mexicans who speak the language well that the Indian in his pleasure loses all caution. -From "Tarahumari Life and Customs," by Dr. Carl Lumholtz,in Scrib- ner's. e Stark's Poeders, each package of which contains two preparations, one in a round wooden box, tha cover of which forms a measure for one dose, an im- mediate reliefelor Sick Headache and Stomach, also Neuralgia, aiid all kinds of nervous pains, and an- other in capsules, (from } to l of ono is an ordinary dose which acts on the Bowels, Liver and Stomach complaints.
