his attention to it. The following

ColonelSparks'sown words togetl

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 21, 1874,
Mr. W. 1L Moore :
My Dear Sir I am obliged to you
for the little paragraph from the
Columbus paper ascribing to me
the authorship of thia-soug, once so
popular throughout the country,
It is very true I wrote the lines t
send you, and they are the first that
wero ever sung to the air which
became famous.
I will giV4 you a brief hlBtory of
th9. writing and of the mm who
innpliod thetw. When I flint went
to the West, in 1820, 1 was some
time In selecting a domicile; Why
it I not neceusary forme to-state!
as the reason and causes for delay
will form a theme for a chapter in
tho second volume of " The Memo
' rice of Fifty Years."
MISS., SATURDAY, SEPT. lO, 1871.
Finally I located in Mississippi,
and commenced the practice of law.
It waa in the midst of the noblest
race of people I have ever known.
Amongst these were two equally
remarkable but very unlike. One
was a schoolmaster who was quite
old, and who had been, teaching iu
that neighborhood over forty years.
His name was James Roesum. He
was peculiar in hb habits. On
Monday morning, neatly dressed
and cleanly shaven, he went to his
duties in the old sehoolhouse, whore
two-thirds of his life had been
spent, and" assiduously devoted
imself to the duties of his voca
tion until Friday evening. On the
morning of Saturday he arrayed
himself in his beet, and devoted the
day in visiting the ladies of the
neighborhood. He was a welcome
guest at every housj. This hbit
had continued so long that he had
lOquired the soubriquet of " Ron-
sum the Beau." The other's name
was Cox, who was a rollicking
good fellow, and the best vocalist
I ever knew. He was In song what
Prentisa was iu oratory, and they
were boon companions.
Cox waa frequently at my office,
and upon one occasion while hu
waa there, Rossuiu walked by the
door, and his ago was apparent in
his walk. Cox looked at hltn, and
after a pause turned to me and re
marked in qulto a follng tone,
whlou he could assume at pleasure,
and his eloquence was Indescriba
ble s Poor old Rossum 1 some of
these sunny mornings he will be
found dead, when he shall have a
noble funeral, and all the ladles
will honor It with being present. I
know."
Boon after he left the office, and
hlnir in the humor isci.oii tne
ideas and wrote the following dog
gerel lines. Soon after Cox rcUim
m! and I handed them to him. He
got up, walked and hummed dif
ferent airs, until ho fell upon tne
old Methodist hymn tune In which
they have ever since been sung
Hundreds of lilies have been
written to the air by as niauy dif
ferent persons, and almost ns ninny
have claimed the authorship of tho
lines ; but this is of no moment, i
claim no merit foe my lines, but
evervthlnir for Cox's singing of
them. I have seen Mm draw tenrs
from the eyes of the old nnd tho
young, with tho feeling ho threw
into the song :
Now, Boon on some soft sunny mor
ning,
The first thing my 'neighbors
shall know,
Their, ears shall be met with the
warning,
Come bury old Rossum the Bena.'
My friends then so neatly shall
dress pie
In linen as whlto as the snow
And in my new colli u shall press
mo,
And whisper " poor Rohsuiu, the
Beau."
And when I'm to be buried, 1
reckon,
The ladles will all like to go ;
Let them form at the foot of my
collln,
And follow old Rossum the Lea".
Then take you a dozen good fellows
And let them all stutrgering go,
And dig a deep hole In tho tncndnw
And in it toss Rossum the Beau.
Then shape outa coupleof dornicks
Place one at the head ami the toe
And do not fall to scratch ou It
Here lies old Rnpsum the Beau.
Then take you these dozeu good
fellows,"
And stand theni all round In a row-.
And drink out of a big-bellied bottle
Farewell to old Rossum the Beau

From JosiU MeiMi' Letter to Hi CIii'OKo
Tribune.
Whisky is tho devil that makes
tho mischief wherever It bt tole
rated, Whether in America, Eng
laud, Ireland, or Scotland. There
aro 20,000,000 of 'people in Europe,
outside of Groat Britain ntid ltus-'
sia, who drink nothing stronger
than wino or beer, and among all
that vast moss, outnumbering I hu
population of tho United States
five times, there is less druukenJ
ncss and fewer arrows made on
charges of " drunk and disorderly"
than iu the single dty of Chicago,
whlcli contains nol ono five hun
dredth of tlioir population. This
Is an absolute fact a naked truth
which it would be well for Tjotli
liquor advocates and prohibition,
lsts to turn over in their minds,
digest well, and draw rational con
clusions therefrom. A 'crusade
agoinst whisky as a beverage
would be a legitimate and benefi
cent war, which, if crowned with
success by the extirpation of the
accursed fluid from tho entire
L'nIon,would bo a most Inestima
ble public blessing. As a temper
ance measure, tho tax oh whisky
should be quadrupled, while that
on light wino should, bu reduced
to one-tenth of existing imposts.
Public Meeting oa Leree Taxes.
Iu compliance with notice issued
some time since, a number of the
citizcus of Peer crck and Blak
bavou met at ITartman k Simmons
store on Peer ereck on Saturday,
the 12th instant, to take Into con
sideration tho condition of the
levees in this district, and the pro
priety of any further construction
tax being levied.
On motion, Rev. S. Archer we s
made chairman ami P. L
Stone
secretary. '
Whereupon tlio following gen
tlemcu were ajpoiuted a commit
tee on resolutions: Cha pump,
Dr. O. MNBlanton, A. Jj. Taxtou,
W. & Hood. A. B.r.-oii, James
Archer, W. E. vst, W. w)Stone,
F. A. Metcalfe, James Estill and
W.L. Cay. .
Tho committee rcportoil the fol
lowing resolutions, wjiick were
unanimously adopted :
Whereas, in view of the enor
mous taxes already levied and as
sessed upon tlio real aiid personal
property of this county, for State,
county.sehoo! and other purpose,
amounting to almost confiscation
of our property, and iu view of
the goneral short crops cf both
cotton and corn
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this meeting that no construction
tax bo levied by the Board of
Loveo Coiuniiasionen for Bolivar,
Washington and Issaquena' coun
ties for tho fiscal year 1871, and
that the present tax of one cent
per pound on colton andktcn cents
per a' ro on land to pay tho out
standing 1 ndtiblcdnes.1 of the Board
be reduced to one half cent per
pound on cotton and fivo cents per
acre on land, which will bo suffi
cient to pay all liabilities now due.
Resolved, That in tho above res
olution wc do not propose to avoid
the discharge of any' lawful obli
gallons that may rest on said
Board for work heretofore dond
or inatei'itils furii'mhod.
Resolved, That these resolutions
be published In the Gueknvii.lk

From Hie San r ronclsco- Jlnllctin , August Jfl
.The San Francisco-Chinaman Is
fond of a grim Joke.' A cargo of
ciglity-nlno Celestial females arri
ved in that city last week, ranging
from nino to ninety years of ago,
ond of .-hues varying from the
cream tint of note paper to a lea
ther brown.'. Tho Commissioner
became rafisfied of the rcasonablo
risooetability, of a msjority of
these females, nnd allowed them
to debark hut twenty-two of the
more presentable of the squad,
whose antecedents fatlod to pass
muster, wcro held to await inves
tigation. . . r
MeantiniCj ono Cluing Lung, a
trafficker in sin, petitioned the
Supremo Court for a writ of hab
eas corpus, that he might gain for
himself and his fiicuds I ho (wen-ty-two
women whom tho commis
sioner had deemed it best to do
tain.. A sheriff's officer escorted
the females In dispute down stairs
jo the main oiitrnncc. of the-City
Hall, intending to proceed direct
t,o the ail -with them. As they
Clod out upon tho sldo walk they
vvcre mot by a Chinaman of shrewd
countenance, who addressed a few
words- to tho eldest of tho party,
with a most mysterious air. Sho
uttered a piercing scrcnm and ran
back into the hall corridor, follow
ed by all who had passed beyond
tho entrance. Her face turned to
NO.
a blanc-tuauge color, and her form
quivered with emotion, while a
few words were rapidly exchang
ed .between the women. Then
came a sccuo of a most exciting
character. The twenty-two wom
en shrieked and cried u it' right
in tho path ol tho Juggernaut, and
raised a perfect tempest iu tlio
neighborhood. They huddled to
gether close lo tho w all and refus
ed to move out of doors. Rem
force racnts rauiefrnhi the sheriff's
i,.B. ,,,! a g(iu:iJ cf police offi
ce re appeared upon tlie sccuc.
Then a cordon wa formed aroun J
the females to keep oh' tho crowd,
which wns rapidly augmenting.
Every cll'ort was used to coir
vinco them that they were going
to a good plarc, end that no harm
was iuleniU'd; but they stood at
bav and would not be suppressed
Mayor Otis opportunely entered
tho building, and at his suggestion
he door of hisofaec w as thrown
open and thoy wcro requested to
enter. It required a good deal oi
pushing and hauling o force them
Into these apartments. Row Mr
Gibson and others w ho speak the
Chinese language, attempted to
tuict their apprehensions, but all
to no purpose. By this time the
street in front of the hall was
crowdud with pcople.drawn tUith
er by the unusual coin motion
Lawyers deserted tho court room
to learn what was itoiug on, ami
tho polleo Judge, not nnderetand-
ing tho situation, dispatched the
vuiieruiilo bailiff oi his court to
prcscrvo order and fiiknee the
noise. In' the meantime Mavor
Otis had sent for the jail ambti
lance. A possogS way was cleared
to this vehicle and tho females
wcro carried out by main strength
and placed therein. They fought
furiously to'eeeopo. kicking and
striking right and left, regardless
Of consequences
When ono half of tlio crowd had
been placed iu the , vehicle, the
word to drive on wns given. Sev
eral deputy 'sheriffs mounted the
box anil rear step, and ti e tenm
dashed ' rapidly to the Broad wnv
Jail. Hero a similar scene was re
peated. Kach Inmate was taken
out and carried into the jail thro'
ncrowdof hooting Idlers. Before
tho return of the conveyance from
the Jail a Chinaman named Ah
You, agent for a Chinese commer
cial houso in tills city, gained nc-
cess to tho Mayor's, office, and In
forcible languago compelled si-
Icncc. When ho entered the room
lie Jniiiped up about two feet and
tho sound of his boot heels upon
tho' floor brought the weeping
maid'' to their senses. By tho
tinio the oinhulniice had returned
they wore all quiet, lliey were
then marched out in file under the
guidance of Ah You, find In a few
moments were safely In jail;
All You savsllint the causte of
all this trouble was the Chinaman
who spoko with tho women at the
door. He told them they were to
bo executed'.
