Gamier, M. D., published carefully written 
accounts of his wonderful powers, and 
both were eye-witnesses thereof.- See S.

  Dixie's Land, the land of milk and 
honey to American negroes. Dixie was 
a slave-holder of Manhattan Island, who 
removed his slaves to the Southern States, 
where they had to work harder and fare 
worse; so that they were always sighing 
for their old home, which they called 
"Dixie's Land." Imagination and dis- 
tance soon advanced this island into a 
sort of Delectable Country or land of 
Beulah. 
  This is but one of many explanations 
given of the origin of a phrase that, dur- 
ing the Civil War (1861-1865) came to be 
applied to the Seceding States. The song 
"Dixie's Land" was supposed to be sung 
by exiles from the region south of Mason 
and Dixon's line. 
        "Away down South in Dixie, 
        I wish I were in Dixie, 
        In Dixie's Land 
        I'd take my stand 
        To live and die in Dixie."

returned to earth to avenge their wrongs
