On November 24, 1874, Joseph F. Glidden of DeKalb, Illinois, was granted a patent for fencing material consisting of barbs wrapped around a single strand of wire and held in place by twisting that strand around another. His original double-strand design, the Winner, lived up to its name; it is the most commercially successful of the hundreds of eventual barbed wire designs. Glidden was also the winner in a welter of litigation that reached all the way to the Supreme Court after some dozen other inventors claimed legal priority. Barbed wire was not immediately successful in Texas and elsewhere, especially with smaller cattle ranchers who depended on an 'open range' to sustain their operations. Their opposition led to the barbed wire conflicts of the 1880's, but eventually the ranges were fenced off. Although open range became a thing of the past, barbed wire helped cattlemen to breed herds in protected environments, thus negating the reliance on long-horned cattle that were more suitable to the open range.

-A sylph was a kind of fairy; winged, kindly disposed to humans, often depicted as tiny cherubs. The title, however, is probably derived from a pantomime called '''The Sylphs; or, Harlequin’s Gambols''', staged at Covent Garden in 1774. The music for the production was by John Abraham Fisher (1744-1806), an English violinist and composer who began his career playing in London theatre orchestras, but who rose quickly to lead the Covent Garden orchestra (from c. 1769-1778). He wrote for the theatre, composed violin pieces, six symphonies and an oratorio, and also penned popular pleasure-garden songs. For a time he led the Vauxhall Garden orchestra.

-The melody appears in a number of 19th century English musician’s manuscripts under titles such as “The Self” (Joshua Gibbons,a miss-hearing of 'Sylph'), “The Sylph” (John Clare, John Moore), “The Cylph Dance,” etc., in a variety of keys. Moore gives the alternate title “[[Plymouth Lasses]].” The jig also appears in the music manuscripts of Lionel Winship (Wark, Northumberland, 1833), Rev. Robert Harrison (Brampton, Cumbria, 1820), John Rook (Cumbria, 1840), John Moore (Tyneside, 1841), the Hardy family (Dorset), William Calvert (Leyburn, north Yorkshire, 1812), John Baty (Bethel, Northumberland, 1840-60), Thomas Lambert (Ferrybridge, Yorkshire) and C.J. Surtees (Northumberland). In America the tune was published in '''Willig’s Collection of Popular Country Dances, No. 3''' (Philadelphia, Pa., 1812), and dance instructions were given in a few other publications.
