Tho flottrlshlnir con dition nf minstrelsy In ncca past was due largely to tbe warlike and adventurous spirit ot the times. During the civil war I10 h sides were prolific in song making. I The South made the Orst great hit with uanaaii s ".Maryland, aij Maryland." The "Uoutile Blue Fla?" was the Southern na tional air, and was to the boys In gray what "Yankee Doodle" was to the boys In blue. The Southern women ardently took it up, and through every city rang the chotus: llunalit Hurrah! for .Southern rights of war, Hurrah! for the Ilonnle Blue FUgthat bears the single star. Of the sentimental songs of the war peri od tbe most popular were "Fairy Bell," "Annie of the Dell," "Just Before the Battle, Mother," "Toll the Bejl'for Lovely 'ell"and " When This Cruel War Is Oyer." In the North. "Walt for the Wagon," and "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are Marching" had a great success during the -same period, and the others that ran riot through camuand fireside were "Mary Wane," "Old Cabin Home," "Fair, Fair, with Golden Hair" and "Daisy Dean." IKho has forgotten "Daisy Dean" and Its wistful chorus: None knew thee but to lore the. Thou dear.one of my heart. Thy moinory Is ever fresh aad sreen; The wild-flowers may wither And fond hearts be broken, Still I love thee, ray darling Daisy I)en. A beautiful song,truly pathetic, obtained great popularity In both North and South during the war. This was Florence Per cy's "Bock Me ta Sleep. Mother." The South produced two war songs thst evince gcnulno poetic talent, and have been accorded unstinted praise by the critics I bey art the "Conquered Banner" and "All Quiet Along the Votoiuac Tc-nieht." the first named by Father Kyan and the last by Lamar Fottntsine. One of the most pathetic poems that appeared durinit the var was "Somebody's Dsrllni." It ran like this: Into the ward ot the white-washed halls Where the dead and the dylnc lay. Wounded by bayonets, shells and balls, Somcbodi's durllnn was borno one day. Somebody's dailing so young and brave, Wearing yet on his sweet pale face Thellugerlng light of his boyhood's grace. Matted and damp are tho curls of gold. Kissing the snow from that fair young brow. Pale are the Hps of delicate mould Somebody's darling is dying naw. Back from his beautiful bluevelned brow Brush his wandering waves of cold. Cross his hands on his bosom now Somebody's darling isstllland cold. Kiss him oiice for somebody's sake, Murmur a prayer soft and low. One bi lulit curl from Its fair mates tako, nicy were somebody's pride, you know. Somebody's hand lias rested there; as it a mother's soft and white. Or havo the lips of a slsterfalr Been baptized In' their waves of light? The circus clown was the great pro mulgator of popular music during and iust after the war. He was then in the full blaze of his glory. Since then the blare has degenerated 4o a spark, and that Is threatening to go out. But twenty years sgo he was the biggest attraction In the ring, and his songs sold like sham in a wildcat mining scheme. A Little War Sketch. TOLD BT St. QUAD. One night, when bis stomach had re belled at the coarse fare of the poorhouse table, and be had been cursed and sneered at and told that it was too good fcr hlm.he sat by tbn open window and looked out in to tho darkness. His wounds rained and bis heart ached, but not for long. The ra 1 tat I tat I of the drum suddenly came to his ears, and through the gloom of the nlgbt he caught sight of a waving flag and march ing men. It was a company matching away to the war. New life came to his blood new strength to his limbs. Ue looked more closely, and he saw that be himself marched in the ranks and waved his cap In response to the cheers of tbe populace. The vision changed. There was the rattle of musketry and the boom of canon, and a battle was on. He saw regiment af ter regiment advance, halt, oblique to tbe right or left. Batteries galloped here and there,, bodies of cavalry thundered along with banners and guidons hidden in the smoke. His own reslment moved forward to the edge of the woods, and directly there was a blaze of fire all 'along its front. It was advancing again, the men were cheer ing, when darkness suddenly cam to him. He had been wounded. In his vision be saw the hospital to which ha was borne, heard the groans of the wounded, caught the whispered words of a surgeon; ' "Very seriously wounded, but I hope we may save him." Tbe vision changed, and the roar and crash of Antietam came to his ears. IT was a corporal then. It'hen the smoke cleared away he looked down at his sleeve aud It bore the stripes of a sergeant.. There was silence for a time, broken only by the wind rustling among the apple tiees and whirling away the dead and dying leaves. Then came a crash and din as if the earth was broken up. It was the guns on Fal mouth Ulghts bombarding Fredericksburg. When tbelr roar died away he crossed the historic river he pushed up the narrow streets be faced the deadly stonu wall at tbe foot of Mary's Hill. Nlgbt came .(6 him again. Another bullet had plowed Its way into his flesh, Again the roar and din of battle came to him. It was terrific crash at Gettysburg. His sleeves now bore tbe Insignia of an or derly sergeant, and as he looked up and down the lines of his company be was amazed to see how few men were Uft biro, and how btonzed and. old tbelr faces looked. The earth shook as It earthquakes were battling. Death laughed at prospect of such a harvest, men were no longer mtn, but demons. Tbe crash died awsyrand there came the vengeful crack! of mus ketry. Right Into tbe flame of lire ad vanced tbe sergeant, waving his cap to chetr his men, but It was no (or long. Darkness came for a third time, and It was long hours before daylight cam again, and b knew that be was a cripple fer life and had fought his Isit battle. Thsre was a tlsUa f cralas U kant of sympathetic words, but It was crowd cd out of sight by a clearer one In which the word "P.oyertyt" seemed to extend from east to west. If he drank If ho was weak-zalnded If the troubles of life bore him down, the world should remember he had been a soldier. Tbe vision of a poor old cripple was clear to his eyes when his rats caught the sound of a muffled drum and the tramp of men From out of the darkness came six men bearing a pall, aud the; were followed by soldiers with bowed heads and reversed muskets. Who was the dead soldier on the pall? Something forced him to lift the (lag and look upon the face of the dead. Ue started back In horror. He saw bis wn corpse I "Hclghol" called a gruff voice ns the sun of morning shone upon the poorhouse again, "but hire's a gol This crippled, old soldier has died at his post 1 Tell the men o get him to tbn dead room and dig a grave as soon as possible." "And tbe hcadstonef "Ob, yes: " 'JOUM DOE. Died at the County House, September 10, 1885.' "That's enough that's all!" A Shot and a Thrust. BT AN "KX-ltRHKU" When we came to throw out picket In front of our lines on the nlitht after dealing the Federal army the hard blow at second Manassas, we were right among the dead and wounded. We had won a victory, and tbe bulk of the Federal army was making for the rototnac.but thete was a rearguard which fought sullenly and with a thirst for vengeance, and along tho front from of my division the blue coats were alert and ready for any night attack. It was about nine o'clock In the evening when my company was pushed out, and to get the place as signed us we had to crawl on our hands and knees for the last two hundred feet. H'hcn I finally got settled In place It was at the base ofa shade or fruit tree standing alone in an open field. A ball or shell had struck tbe trunk of the tree and cut It in two, and a portion of the top lay on the ground The Federal picket, as I presently ascer talced, was about fifty steps distant from me and had the cover of a heap of rails. did not locato him until he fired upon me, I do not think he knew of my preaencc.but rather mistrusted it and blazed away to draw me out. Thcro were dead and wounded all snout the tree. I had crept over two dead bodies, and two wounded men had begged me for water, and although the evening was very dusky, I could count at least ten bodies on my side of the tree. I had come ont with a full canteen, knowing that the front was covered with wounded. Close to tna on my right was a Federal corporal belonging to a New York regiment. Ho tbld me at the time the number of his regiment, but I made no note of It. He was shot In tbe right leg, midway between the hip and the knee. This happened two hours before dark, and considerably nearer ottr'ltnes, and he managed to crawl twenty rods to get to tho shelter of the tree. It was only flesh wound, and could he have been taken Into the lines that night he would have been fit for duty within thirty days. Some men would have almost walked off with such a hurt as that, but the poor fel low se'.med knocked all to pieces and had quite lost his courage. I was holding the canteen to bis Hps, having raised his head and put a haversack under It, when the Federal picket tired the shot. The bullet crashed Into the head of the wounded man, and with a sort of quiver, he fell back dead. The incident npset me considerably, and, being under orders not to fire a shot unless the enemy were advancing. I hugged tbe ground at the foot of the tree and remained quiet. Two more shots were fired at me, but they were aimed too high and went over, I bad been on duty about an hour when the pleadings of a wounded man about fifty feet to my left for water deter mined me to succor lilra. He knew of my presence and talked directly to me, saying that he was shot in both legs and had been lying there seven or eight hours. I left my gun on the ground and started off on my hands and knees. The corpse of a Federal lay directly In my way, and I was just making a half circle around it when the supposed dead man scrambled up, seized bis musket, which lay beside him, and whirled on me with a sort of a scream. You see, It all came so suddenly that I was confused, and when he came at me I was still on my bands and knees and helpless. ne held the gun at "charge bayonets" and made an awful lunge at me. The point of tht bayonet passed through tbe luck of my blouse, and tbe lunge pushed me over and tbe steel went Into the ground almost to the muzzle of the gun. I was thus pinned to the earth, and the man let go of tbe mus ket and fell across me, uttering a groan of pain as he came down. Jfy position was such that I could not free myself for two or three minutes, and when I did the man was dead for sure. He' had probably been unconscious for a long time before tbe frenzy of death caused him to attack me In the singular manner he did. So firmly was I pinned to the earth that I had to "skin" ont of my blouse to get free, aid it took a stout twist at the butt of tbe musket to pull the bayonet out of the bard baked soil. A Soldier's Honor. Look down there -on tbe right behind that simple Una of rail fence In tbe midst of fire and smoke In tbe midst of death and terror see that single regiment only four hundred bayonets left! see that firm Una of devoted men, holding that point, Oh 1 how tba shot and sbell are poured in upon them; for they hold a position where tht enemy are aiming to plant a battery; and a battery there, In the bands of tbe foe, means defeat, swift and sure. And that mera handful of men bold tbe position un til aid can ba sent; but It cannot be teat now, though a messenger has gone for it.

Afterwards I asked one of those private soldiers how he felt when he knelt there. and saw what he bad to do, and what his chances were. He bad been on the ox treme right, and within twenty yards of bis position bad been the edge of a" dense thicket of stunted pine and shrub-oak.

Nothing will con vince them them that as a military power they are not vastly superior to any nation, either in the Old or New B'orld. Even those who have Uyed In European capltols are addicted to this extremely ridiculous 'balderdash;' but when the real facts are presented, the state of affairs disclosed is simply sublime In Its absurdity. Th Hay- tlan army must present to European be holders a spectacle of grotesqueness, the equal of which It would be difficult to find anywhere, cither in fact or fiction. Ima gine a batttalion on parade consisting of thirteen priyates, ten officers, and six drummers I the rest of tho men as the author quaintly puts It thinking it un necessary to present themselves except on pay day. Tbe staff officers are clad In the gorgeous uniforms procurable, while the men' are arrayed in a motley array of tatters. Seme haye coats wantlngone arm, the collar or tbe tall; tbe headgear may consist of a dilapidated shako, a straw hat, wideawake, or In many cases merely a handkerchief tied round the head. The officers hold their swords in either band as suits them, and the men march past In admirable confusion, each one carrying his musket In the position he finds most con venient. The populace look on with ad miring looks and gravely ask If finer troops can anywhere be found. The Uavtlan black, however, thoroughly detests mili tary service, and consequently the sentries, lest they should be over-fatigued, are con siderately provided with chairs.
