STOKY OF SOME SONGS. The History of " Yankee Isoostle ' Ieso'nl from Cromwell and Washing" Some Cam paign Songa. From th North American Review. An instance of the remarkable immortality of an air, totally dissev ered from sense or beauty of senti ment in the words, is our own sau cy, world-defying quickstep, u "i an kee Doodle." " The words, absurd as they are, illustrate the fact that there mav be deep meaning in the appar ently aimless journeying of a song, and more popular knowledge of its history would add greatly to the association-charm of what we have al ways been half ashamed to call our national melody. I give the story as I have searched it out the more readilv hecause I have lately 6een paragraphs relating to it that beto ken both interest and ignorance. Yankee Doodle " has been a true melody of the people in many lands. From the vineyards of France, from the different provinces of the free Tyrennees, from the dykes of Hol land, and from the Puritan struggles of England, the air comes down to us. In Holland the laborers receiv ed as their waees "a tenth of the harvest and as much buttcr- rnilk as they could drink." As they reaped, they sang : " Yankee dudcL doodle down, I ddd le, doodle, lafitber, Yankee vlver. vovrr Town. Buttermilk and tanther " In England, in the reign of Charles I., the air was sung to a rhyme which is still to be heard in our nurseries: '- Vurj Lnrkei lft her iwrkct. liltile FUhrr humd it. Nothing In It, nothing on it, But the blB-llng runl IL" When Cromwell rode into Oxford ujMn a email horse, with hi ningle piume f.l ix-il into a kind of knot, the whole outfit intended to sugger-t Puritan horror of Iiiji-Mepping sti-etl ai.d waving plu-n.ipe, .eme aj;ih :iv'ir invented the tol 1 ilc rhyme, i.nd rt it allo.it to the homely u.elody f liUr : - ftbkrv Ifcxidle ran to towa. t'K4i krntltl -r : He ra' k leiber In his Cap, t'l a aiacatn " A "macaroni" w a small ro sette, iu ha; aiid size lite an Ital ian macaroon, called so from a blun der of the English in confusing the names ot two Italian dishes so simi lar in pronunciation and spelling. The tuue CM came to this country in 1 7o"i. Kraddock was assembling our forefathers near Albany, for an attack on the French and Indians at Forts Niagara and Frontenac. As the Continental recruits came in wearing all the lashions that had been seen in England for a hundred years, and bearing every weapon but those familiar to the fresh, well drilled British troops, the old pic ture of Cromwell on a Kentish pony rose before the mind of another wag gish cavalier. Dr. Richard Shuck burg, regimental 6urgeon, was a wit and a musician. Planning a joke for the amusement of the camp, he wrote out the score of 44 Yankee Doodle," and gave it to the leader of the Continental band as the latest martial music It was easily caught and enthusiastically plsyed, amid shouts of laughter in the English ranks. Twenty-five j'ears later there was less mirth in the British army when, with Lord Cornwallis at its head, it surrendered to Continen tals whoso band was playing " Yan kee Doodle." It was a happy au gury that 60 linked the Puritans of the old world and the new Crom well and Washington, both march ing to victory over despotism to the music of labor and freedom set for them in derision by their foes. TJITKCANOE AND TYL1IU, TOO. There is another American eong which, although it is fatuous only in memory, was a growth of occa sion, and was dependent on its air for popularity, and therefore claims a place in a dicuseioti of the raa ttt'rc of songs. Tiptwcanor and Tyler, too." was to the political can vass ofll'J what the Marscillais was to the French Kevolution. It rung Harrison into the 1 'resiliency.

It hu been attributed to John Greiuer, the Ohio ! politician and editor who, in that pong-singing campaign, wrote The Wagjner Boy," and "Zip Coon"; but the credit belongs te the late A. C Boss, til Zanesviile, in the same i state. Mr. Koss was member of a political glee-club and of a churcn choir. "Martin's Lament," Hard Times," and many other 6ongs had been made, but none answered the popular demand, when a friend euz gested to Boss that the air of "Little i'igs"' would furnish a chorus if suitable words could be written. Mr. Boss went to church with his brain through voluntary and open ing hymns, full of the" suggestion. He sang gravely, and then settled himself to his task. By the time the minister had reached " lastly," " Tippecanoe and Tyler, too." had been set dancing to the tune f " Lit tle Pigs," One line, and that an im portant one in the refrain, bafUedi mm Un Saturday night he was obliged to tell the club that he had a soiig all but one line. 44 What is that ?" 6aid some one. 44 Van, Van, you're a nice little man," said Boss. Make it " Van, Van's a used-up man," cried his friend and s it was, and he was. and that epithet had much to do with his using up. Mr. Boss came to New York to buy goods, and attended a political meet ing in Lafayette HalL Charles De- lavan was presid.ng. Prentiss of Mississippi, Talmage, of New York, and Otis, of Boston, were to speak. Songs had been exhausted, and the vast audience was becoming restless for still the speakers did not come. Delavan called for volunteer songs, when Boss arose near the door, and paid that if he could reach the stage, he wouia eive one. " l'is h m along!" and he was passed along over the heads of the denwe mas until he stood UDon the platlorm. "Who are you?" demanded the crowd. A Buckeye, from the Buck eye state," said Boss. When three cheers tor the Buckey state bad sub sided, Ross requested the company to be quiet until he had sung three stanzas, and then join in if they hked. By thj time the third chorus was reached, the whole audience struck in with indescribable effect. Frun: the Philadelphia Ledger. What has become of the old cam paign singing that used to enliven 1 1 residential contests, as far back as cue uays oi an-van, was & used--upmin," and when "Tippecanoe and Tyler, too," went over the coun trv with a popularity that only Moody and Sankey," later, could at tempt to rival ? Then likewise were the days of 44 A little wore cider, too," and "Have you heard the news from Maine?" But before these, even, the Democrats chanted, " We dedicate the hickory tree To Jackson and to Liberty," and sang "The Hunters of Ken tucky," at their 44 ox-roasts " and barbecues. It appears to le up-hill work to trv to revive campaign songs, as the patches of halting rhymes in the various "organs" now show. N bodv would think of singing such mouthfuls of verse, however enthu siastic he might be for the plumed knight ; such lines would stick, like any other feathers, in the throats of the crowd. Blaine rtymes with Maine, and wane, and swain, r.nd Payne (one of the other fellows) and Logan with Blogan and brogan, yet not this richness, any more than the fitness of Bandall to "handle," in national affairs will give us cam paign singing as it used to be in the days when such taking war songs were hung to "Old Bosin the Bow." . "There, is music in the air was deceptive, often enough, yet it lent itself, as did 44 Scott's wha hea," to the duel of Whig and Democrat, on either side. The recital that 44 Santa Anna lost a leg," did much for Gen. Scott, and against the united ro mance of 44 John and Jessie," in the Fremont campaign; it was amazing that an old bachelor like Mr. Bu chanan could stand and prevail. The amount of personal enthusiasm and lungs that the young men of l SCO nut to the service of Old Abe . .. i campaign ditties by 44 Bepubliean i Invincibles," seems altogether a van- J ished quantity. It must le that the war, with its fine roll of genuine 44 battle-songs," ha made all efforts in political singing seem quite poor and empty since. At all events neither Mr. Haves nor Mr. Garfield, nor Mr. Til den nor Gen. Hancock had anything ofamusical accompaniment; even thouirh "decs" and campaign music ' had leen written by the acre in their U -halves. This shows a real tide- mark of change. Mass meetings do not reach to such a pitch now-a- days as in the 1S40 to l!:SU contests for the White House. There are numbers of voters who never heard how Maine went," Arc., "for Gov ernor Kent," as the over-jubilant words cantered through the rough rhvrnes of the olden times ; and where are the young ladies who would be seen arraying themselves for anv candidate with blue ribbons as their grandmothers and grand aunts did as they sana: 44 We're the girls of 1S40," in thefervers of their youthful enthusiasm. No young person would call herself 44 A girl of 1SSG" for any political favorite whatever; nor are the questions of the modern campaign for the Presi dency managable for music poetry or noisy enthusiasm. ( Perhaps it was in the very child ishness of the nation that it sung and unsung merry measures. Per haps the far higher chords that were 6trui k from o0 to 'G" drove this sort of partisan note, and the chord Mr. Tennyson writes about, 44 out of sight." In any event, it seems to be gone. We shall have parodies, no doubt. 44 Tramp, tramp, traup, the boys are marching," or the in defatigable industry of John Brown's body, will be fitted to jaw-breaking verse, which will fall flat, because of the odiousness of comparisons with their former burthens.

A rejHjrter found him in a grocery store in East Bridgejiort the other morning and aiked his father, who was witti him, if it was true that his son was a lightning calcula tor. Mr. Milzisky, whospeaks poorlue los laureies, aooui wmcn ttie English and who 'is now a poor man, Iiidimlor Texas correspondent, having lost much of his earnings by the late r rary & Sou, cutlery fail ure, said in answer: "Paul, how many beans are there in this handful?-' The boy at once commenced to dunce around the store and be came greatly excited as the lather thrust his hand into a barrel of beans, t.ok a handful and threw them down in a corner, where they lay scattered about. The lad leaped into the air, and almost before the beatis had touched the floor, shouted 4'17G8." The beans were caret ully gathered and counted, and while this was being done the boy grinned and waited. The result showed him to be correct to a bean. He relapsed into his usual sleepy manner a-am. The father then seized a handful of oats and threw them in a heap up on the counter. "Paul," said he, how many oats?"' The boy again jumped to his feet, devoured the oats mentally, and instantly shouted 2bJ(J. It took a Jong time to count them, but the number was again found to be correct. Next the fath er seizea a half-filled pail of water and asked the boy, "How many cu bic inches of water in the pail?" The boy sized it up with his eyes and quickly shouted "11G." A care ful computation proved the result to be right Other wonderful answers were given, always in an excited manner, and no comparison of his manner at this time, seems to be as apt as that of the excitement of a dog when "set on" by his master.

A Great Sculptor anal His Work, The ladies of Kentucky have ac complished a most creditable act recendy. It ia the purchase of Joel T. Hart, masterpiece, "Beauty's Triumph." Hart is the only great sculptor Kentucky has ever had. Hon. Edward J. McDermott, of Louisville, thus describes him: ' " His life was beautiful in its sim plicity and virtue. His heart and mind were wedded solely to his high calling. His only aim was to achieve something great, and to leave behind him an honerable name. The marble was his chief and best medium for the expression of the strong feelings and exalted ideas in his breast. He hoped to speak, through his living works, to the men and women oi future time, and lived to see assured the fruition j which they expect to sell for about of that bright dream and trusted j 75 er head. mainstay of his long life. n addition to the above breeding 44 Mr. Hart was born in Clark ranch, the company have under county in 1S10, and died in Flor- lease and in fee simple about 500, ence, Italy, in 1S77. His re- 000 acres of land in the Panhandle mams are now in Florence, but ; they will be removed to Kentucky, the Legislature having appropriated $1,000 for that purpose. He went to school only three months, but by j persistent effort educated himself, I and towards the end of his life was able to write 6ome creditable poetry. To fit himself for his art-works he studied anatomy with success in Transylvania University. He was always frugal, temperate, laborious, genial and devoted to his friends. His figure was a little above the me dium in height and strength. His features indicated a strong will and sunny disposition ; a full beard covered his face. In early youth he worked as a stonemason, and at the . . . - on tombstones and to maice motieis in a marble-yard. In the course of the next sixtetn years lie maue a large number of good busts of such men as Andrew Jackson, Cassius, jClay, and John J. Critttnden. In i 14: he went to Florence. Italy, to put into marble his model of Clay's statue, made for the 44 Ladies' Clay Association," of Richmond, Virgin ia. On this model and statue he worked, with intermissions, for 13 years. In 1S07 he completed the statue of Clay now in the court house of Louisville. His other im- portant works are a fine copy of the Venus tie Medici, a bust called 44 Penserosa," representing a hand some woman with downcast' eye3 ; the 44 Morning-glory," a beautiful little girl holding a morning-glory in one hand, and her scant, flower-filled gown in the other ; an exquisite lady-like hand and wrist resting on an outstretched glove ; a colossal bronze statue of Clay for New Or leans, and "Beauty's Triumph." All of these works are great and will ever be highly esteemed, but his fame most chiefly rests on the " Tri umph of Beauty." Of this he lelt assured, and with pleasure and con fidence staked all his meed of praise on that great work, making it the chief effort of his genius, the bright dream and solace of his laborious life. It may be fairly called a poem in marble." Mr. McDermott's memoir of Hart was written for the Lexineton Mem- until iisauiaiii'ii, itvnivjvt.w which is Mrs. W. C. P. Breckinridge. All admirers of art will be afforded an opportunity during the continu ance of the Southern Exposition this summer and fall, at Louisville, Ky., to observe and examine Hart's works, as the management has ar ranged to obtain ail of them. The group will be complete and will be arranged by citizens of iouisville whose taste in matters of this kind cnnot le excelled. Gen. James A.

Tte Ijmrelc Kartell Probably the finest and best equip ied ranch on earth is the old Ken nedy property, known as the Bancho writing from Corpus Lhnsti, has this to sav : The Laureles Banch, owned by the Texas Land and Cattle Company, is located on the Gulf coast, in Nue ces county, being bounded on the south by Alazan Bay. This prop erty was purcnased less than three years ago at a cost of 51,000,000. and to show the immensity of the live stock business in Texas and the enormous increase in values of ranch property in the last few years, a few points about the property of this company will prove interesting. The Laureles Banch consists of 340, 001) acres of land, bound on the north and west by a hog-tight fence, a distance of 40 miles, made with Cypress posts dipped in tar, and Bessemer steel wire run through the posts, while the croi8 fences the ranch being divided into seven large pastures are of Cypress posts with four strands of wire. There are pens and corrals near the house with ca pacity for 10,000 cattle, besides ten other corrals which will hold 40,000 cattle. Five of the corrals are 100 yards square, in each of which they can handle and cut 5,000 head, and all are provided with branding chutes. These are the most sub stantial corrals ever built, being made with Cypress posts 9x9 inches, set three feet in the ground, with three 2x10 rails on the inside and five 2x10 rails on the outside. Judging from the quality of the grass this ranch will sustain fully 100.000 head of stock cattle, there being now G5,000 head of females, which will all be bearing calves within two years. There is also a fine stock pasture, in which there are 4,000 head of improved cattle, nearly all high grades, which are be ing bred to thorough bred and high grade Hereford, Short-horn and Ab erdeen'Angus bulls, the bull crop out of this pasture being removed at two-year-olds into the general past ures for the improvement of the herd proper. There are also within this 340,000 acres about 8,000 head of horse stock of all classes 1,000 of which are brood mares, of the best quality to be found in Texas which are being bred to the best stallions and jacks obtainable. Among the sires in use are sons of Mambrino Patchen. Mambrino King, Gold) Dut, Blue Dull and Almont, be- j side thoroughbred and grade Clydes- dale and English draft horses, and improved American jacks. Mr.! Edwin E. Wilson, of Kansas City, j has the entire management of the; company s property, ana nas exnio ited great good judgment in his se lections of breeding. He keeps 25 mares for each, stallion, selecting them according to color as well as style, with an eye single to the gen eral improvement of the stock and the production of a class of general utility horses for which there is al ways a good demand, and which will range in price from $100 to 8200. The company recently shipped 100 head of two year old mules to Kan sas City, as a sample lot, which av erage in height nearly 15 hands, and of Texas, on which they have graz ing at present upwards oi 'jaw steers. This, together with about 300,000 acres in the Cherokee Strip, rn which they are grazing another lot of about 20,000 head of steers, makes a lull total oi over no.uuu head of stock of all classes, occupy ing 1,140,000 acres of land, all held under permanent and approved lease or in fee simple. Last year thev shipped to the Kansas City market about 9,000 beeves and will have 12,000 to ship the present year. Their net average on beeves during 18S2 and 1S83 was upwards of $37 per head, said to be the largest av erage made by any Texa.i ranch. The total value of the plant of the Texas Land and Cattle Company is fairly estimated at nearly 6ix mil lion dollars all gained within three years on an investment of $2,500, 000, and paying in the meantime 20 per cent, per annum in dividends and all' of which is largely due to the capable management of Mr. Wilson. i This gentleman, who went to your city about five years ago, having been educated for the law, has made the study of the land question a leading idea, and he it was who first saw the advantages to accrue from the ownership of the lands on which to graze the cattle. He has negoti ated all the purchases for the com pany and by his contract with the Scotch owners of the stock will con tinue to manage it indefinitely. From a comparatively poor young man a few years ago, he has, by his entiring energy, careful study of live stock business and competent management of the property, made a fortune for himself and increased the profits of the company an hun dred per cent. If there is any other legitimate business where a poor newspaper correspondent could make money as rapidly, the writer would like to "catch on." Utilizing a Kat and a Ferret. The Bankers' and Merchants' Tel egraph company in this city is put ting its wires under ground. The othei day a workmen made the un derground receptacle for the wires and covered it over according to the most approved methods for four squares, but neglected to put in the wires, or anything by which they could be pulled through. He tried air pressure and everything he could devise to force a wire through the underground trough, but noth ing availed. The whole thing had to be taken up and the work done over. This called to mind the time they iiad in London in !S57or l. 3. The telegraph wires in that city have always for the greater part been underground. The main wires are laid through the great tunnels, which accommodate also the gas and sewer pije. These tunnels are big enough for a man to walk eaiiy. Of course there is no trouble about inspecting the wires or repair ing or replacing them wheneyer it becomes necessary. But the pipes containing the lateral wires, run ning oil for two or three miles from the main line, are small ones. At i the time pf which re speak one of these lateral wires was hauled out to be repaired. ine men doing trns work failed to attach to it a leading line, by which the wire could be drawn through again. The means employed to correct the error were very unique. A large rat, with a fine steel wire, was put in the pipe. Behind there was thrust a ferret. The rat ran from the ferret a short distance and stopped. It was feared that he would show fight and be killed. But he started on again. He ran through the whole length of the pipe and brought out the wire in good style, though closely pushed by the ferret." Washington Critic. The Triumph of Innocence. Two children, a boy of 9 and a girl of 4 years, came into a Cleve land street-car Saturday. The girl climbed upon the seat and looked out of the window. Suddenly turn ing her face, she fixed her gaze upon the face of the boy with a look of eager longing. Thruwing her arms around his neck, she laid her cheek lovingly against his, and in plead ing accents whispered, "Bob, say, have you got some gutu in your mouth ?" Bob returned the caress, gently put her aside, and made no answer. In nowise disconcerned, the little maiden renewed the attack, appealing to his love, his generosity his manliness, his chiualry, to her need, her helplessness, and inde pendence, enforceing each argu ment with melting glances and ca ressing flatteries. Bob true to his man's nature smiled sweetly and in differently and calmly pursued his thoughts and his task. At last a look of awful determination settled down on the little face which a mo ment befere was wreathed in smiles. Bracing one knee against the back of the seat and the other against the defenseless Bob, she took his face between her two hands, pushed his head back against the window, struck an altitude worthy of a first-class dentist, and made a thorough and vigorous examination of that mouth. Suddenly a look of joy flashed across the gloom of that small countenance, as with an air of tri umph her hand dashed into the mouth and returned with the coveted treasure. With an expression of perfect contentment and satisfac iion it was transferred to her own moyth, and she sat down beside Bob onqe more the gentle and de pendent sister, all smiles and ten derness. - '- Doctors gravely assert that the perspiration coming out on bald heads is poisonous!

I was also a sutlcrer from a severe catarrh and catarrhal cough; my appetite was poor, and my system a Rood deal run down. Knowing the value of Avrc's S.vtts.trABiLLA, by observation of many other eases, and from personal use in former years, I began taking it for the above-najned disorders. My appetite im proved almost from the ttr?t dose. After a short tioie the fever and itching were allayel. and all siciis of irritation of the skin disappeared. My catarrh anil cough were also cured by the same means, and my general health greatly improved, until it is now excellent. I feel a hundred per cent stronger, and I attribute these result to the use of tho Saraaparilla, which I recommeml with all eonhdence as the best blood medicine ever devised. I took it in small doses three times a day, and osed. In all, less than two bottle. I place theae facta at your service, hoping their publication may do good. Your respectfully, Z. P. WlLDS." The above Instance is bat one of the many constantly coming to our notice, which prove tha perfect adaptability of Ayih's Saksa rAKILLA to the cure of all diseases arising from Impure" or impoverished blood, and a weakened vitality. Ayer'sSarsaparilla cleanses, enriches, and strengthen the blood, stimulates the action of the stomach and bowels, and thereby enables the system to resist and overcome the attacks of all Scrofu lous Dixatei, Eruptions of the Skin, Rheu matism, Catarrh, General Debility, and all disorders resulting from poor or corrupted blood and a low state of the system. rVErAKED BY Dr. J.C.

The best pasturage is a Horded by a moderate grade ofupUnd with a close, strong sward. The soil should be firm, aid naturally fertile. Pastures are eften spoiled by turning on stock too soon alter seed ing. The grass roots should have time to become firmly set and in vigorous growth before the grass is cropped. The fibrous and dtei- rooted varieties ot grasses are oest lor permanent pasture. Care should be taken not to over stock the land. An area that will support a certain number of ani mals in the most favorable season of the year may fail to turni-h enongh pasturage for the hot and dry months. It 13 the best Dian. where possible. to have difierent fields enclosed and separated from each other, so that a change of pasturage may be had at different times during the season. The animals will be much more thrifty under such circumstances, the land retains its strength longer and the grass will not run out ." soon. With the best pasturage it h needful that dairy cattle should have an abundant supply of pure water on their range, easy of access There is scarcely anything that -"" auickly affects the character of ruilk and butter, as water from stagnant sloughs and mud-holes.
