SONGS AND HISTORY.
Sir,—Regarding the song "We Won't Go Homo Till Morning," I don't know whether Sir Ernest Clarke tho fact, but fact it is, that tho air of "Mulbrook S'en Va-t-<m Guerro"' was ' brought to Franco from tho East by the Jrciich Crusaders of tho third (I think) crusade, and was a Saracen air. So our English word "Hurrah" came' from the same source, being tho battle yell of the Turkoman hordes who rallied / to Saladin's standard.—l am, etc., JAMES H. HALL."
