The average f the seven surplus States is 64.9 : -: : tead of 64 2-in September.

Sings of the War. One of tbe most inreresting ar ticles in "Tbe Century" for August is Irora the pen of Brander Mat thews, who gives the history of the most famoas war songs. Of nil these songs Mr. Matthews thinks but two are finer than ''Yankee Doodle" and the "Star Spangled banner," and these are "John Brown's Body" and "Marching through Georgia." Of the former, the genesis ot both words and musio its obscure. II is conjectural con struction of the story of the song ia briefly : In 1856, William Slefle of Phil adelphia was asked by a fire com pany in Charleston, S. C, to write an air to certain verses, the chorus of which began, "Say, bummers, will you meet us?" After the air had Berved its purose a new set of words was fitted to it, and it be came the camp meeting hymn, "Say, brothers, will you meet usT" In I860, tbe same air was given to Re publican campaign songs. hen Port eumter was fired on, the campaign songs, the camp meeting songs, the street songs, among which was "Tell John An drews John Brown's Dead," were fased, as it were, and ''John Brown's Body" came into being. Mr. Matthews says this song was put together by a quartet of men in the Masachnsetts Tigers, and the soldiers of the Twelfth Massachu setts Regiment sang it as they marched down Broadway, July 24., 1861. They sang it incessantly no till 1362, and by that time the whole nation was familiar with it. The most popular war song of the Sooth was "My Marylan." James li. Randall was its author. He was a native of Baltimore; but in April, 1861, was residing in New Orleans. From the papers of that city he read a highly-colored ao count of the Attack on the Massa chusetts troops while they were passing through Baltimore. He worked himself op into a fever of excitement, and then wrote the word." Afterward the verses were set to the musio of "Lauriger Hor atin8,": a favorite college song of a jovial character. "Dixie" was another popular song. It was composed in 1359, ac cording to Mr. Matthews, by Dan D. Eminett, as a "walk around" for Aryant's ministrels. Emett had travelled with circuses, had heard circus men speak of the country' sonth of Mason and Dixon's line as Dixie, andjhad heard - them wish themselves there as soon as North ern days became uncomfortably cold. "I . wish I was in Dixley they used to say, and it was upon this that Emmett founded his song. I the, fall of I860, Mrs. Jong Wood sung "Dixie" in New. Orleans, in John i . Brougham's burlesque, "Pocahontas." Southern words to suit the tune bad been written by Gen. Albert Pike, and the air was also nsed by the Republican cam paiga singers at the North. .- "The Bonnie Blue Flag" also came from the theartre. The tune : is an old Hibernian melody, accord: Ing to-Mr. - Matthews, "Thfc-Irish Jaunting Car." The words were written by an Irish comedian, Har ry McCarthy Tha Bonnie Bias nag" Decants, at once popular, bet was not , so . much sung as was ox "ixwena," the Northern equivalent of Jost before the Bat tle, Mother."- The latter was com posed, words and musio, by George P. Boot ef , Chicago, who was also the author of The Battle Cry of Freedom" andef Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are Marching," . All of Mr. Root's songs were immensely popn lar with the soldiers, bat the j&rst favorite was probably "The Battle Cry of Freedom. V Beyond a donbt, tbe most popular war song st the North is "Marching through Georgia." Probably Gen. Sherman has heard it a million times. He.thinks he tar, anyway, for the bands play it wherever he goes pretty much as "Hail to the Ohier is played wherever the Presi dent khows his head. This was wrtten by Henry C, Work, who was fond of reflecting the rude negro rhythms, and was familiar with the songs of the cotton field and levee. Mr. Matthews says, however, that "Marching through Georgia" was not founded on a negro air, and he regards the tone as new and fresh and spirited, "the chief musical legacey oi the war." "We are Coming, Eather Abra ham, Three Hundred Thousand More" appeared originally in the "New York Evening Post," and as tbe author's name was not given, tbe public believed for a time that William Cullen Bcyast wrote it. But its author was John 8. Gibbons, a Quaker, who, so Mr. Matthews says.haB'Teasonahle leaning toward wrath,J in casos of emergency." The lainous war song," When Johnny Comes Marching Home," was written by P. 8. Gilmore. Julia Ward U.oe'a "Battle Bymn of the Ipublio" was written", Mrs. Howe sas, in the dim twilight of the early morning after a night given to thought of the subject, in which the lines were gradually worked out.
