CHAT ABOUT FAMOUS MINSTRELS. SM.-KpMlllnir slorliH Ihst droit Old Jfolod Rlurnt Cork Men of To-day. ‘•Negro minstrels uro born, not made,” wid n retired disciple of the burnt cork pro fession ton Mail and Express writer. The old artist took a strong puff from the cigar between his lingers, meditated a few sec onds, and continued: “Hut.jokes nremnde that live longer tlinn minstrels, and cause thousands to lnugh years after the authors •re buried and forgotten.” t "Is negro minstrelsy on the decline?” "Not a bit of it. Comedy proper, opera bouffc, high tragedy, melodrama and spec tacular amusements may pall upon the public, hut genuine negro minstrelsy never loses its fascinating popularity. The press ■lay have humorous paragraphs about the ancient jokes negro minstrels get off', but •U the same audiences laugh at them and are highly entertained. Wnatis the secret? Simply this: It is not the joke that creates laughter, it is the manner in which it is told. A common, half-way nmateur in the business might relate an incident that roally had fun in it, without causing any body to smile. But a true artist of the Charley Backus type could tell it so as to •Ur up a cyclone of laughter.” " You knew Backus, then ?” " I should say I did. I have laughed at bis antics and funny way of saying things until my sides were sore. He related the ■ame gag every night for five and six years with as much freshness and anima tion ns when he first told it. He used to oome on the stage at the Comedy theatre with ragged trousers on. Birch would proceed to catechise him. and finally, in •peaking of his tutterSj call them ‘coupons not yet detached.’ This usually brought down the house. One of the amusing things done by the old California Minstrels was the duel. Backus would strut forward •Dd say, ‘Hark ! the village bell tolls one.’ A big cow bell would ring out five times. In parting from hissecond to stand opposite his adversary Backus would utter these Words: ‘if 1 fall, Alonzo, tell my father, the duke, that I leave to him my estates in Switzerland.’ I)nn Bryant, one of the brightest negro comedians, use to write comic sketches for the San Francisco Min- •trels. One was called School, and gave a fine opportunity for Backus and Birch to be ftinny. Ah! but I know many first- •lass minstrels and the jokes that fill up their repertoire.” “Who is the funniest minstrel you know ?” “1 think Wilson, of Barlow and Wilson, takes the cake. Natural fun bubbles out of him like water out of a geyser. For ten or fifteen years he has exhibited his funny qualities through one channel, bis cele brated song, Waltz Me Again. Between the verses of this song he gets off some of his best hits. Whenever he runs out of something to say he asks the orchestra to waltz him again, and cavorts around like a wild giraffe. Although blacked up he does not attempt the negro vernacular, but talks rapidly in a pianissimo key. I have seen him entertain an audience for halfan hour, and finally beg off from the repeated encores. One of his encore songs was (lit Thee Uone Girl. The chorus ended, ‘But the girl wouldn’t get thee gone.’ Barlow, his partner, was a lawyer in Louisville before he followed the burnt cork profes sion. He has pathos in his nature and can act the old negro truetolife. He has made more money os a minstrel than he would as u lawyer. There are many queer ones in tho profession. There is Cool Burgess. He is nearly six feet four inches high, has a back as broad as a church, and his voice can be heard a mile or more. A fog horn would blush if Qool Burgess should yell alongside of it. Ho is what wo call a stalwart. One of liis great acts is to chew scenery and eat soap to get up a froth. When he does a song and daneo the noise is simply deafening. Oool is a corker though, and an old-timer. “Thatcher’s style is good. He can tell a story with inimitable suavity and graco. The cold that he caught at the soap-bubble festival generally catches on and tickles bis audience. ‘Yes, I have a fearful cold. At the festival I stood in a draught.’ The Interlocutor naively asks: ‘What draught?’ ‘They had beer on draught and 1 stood in it all the evening.’ Another one he usually gets off’goes well with the womenfolk: ‘If I was a woman I never would marry. No, I would not; I wouldn’t go near a man, nor walk on the same side of the street.’ A puuse. ‘Yes, and I would raise my children up tho same way.’ I have seen women in an audience who failed to see the joke until some minutes had elapsed. When it dawned upon them they gave way to laughter. Thatcher, Primrose and West have grown wealthy and have considerable real estate in various cities. Billy Itice is ’way up in his profession. Like Wilson, he is naturally funny and can’t help it. Who that has seen him in that farce, Slo- uumb, where he gives away a cigar every time his listener laughs, can fail to appre ciate his talent. Billy is fat, and cuts a ludicrous figure in a short jacket and a small Derby bat. llis repertoire is ex tended. Bob Slnvin is an eccentric com edy negro minstrel. llis humor is quaint, but never fails to catch on. I le is capable of entertaining an audience all by himself for an hour, llis very looks are provoca tive of mirth. When the chestnut bells came out, not many months ago. Slaviu hung a gong on his breast, under his long linen duster. The picnic in the play caused a terrible panic among the’mokes.' One burly ne gro, foaming with rage, advances on the jjtagu and calls Slavi n a coward. The only answer he gave was two louud rings on his ohestnut gong. It brought down the house. McNisli has a specialty called Fun and Si lence that is unique in its way. He cannot be successfully imitated, because there are few who have his wonderful athletic quali ties. He is one of the greatest athletes or acrobats in tho world. There is atnuso- ment in the way he shows bis feats that lilts him above theordinary acrobat. John son frequent ly perpetrates a laughable gag. Borne of them may have been veterans ages ago, but anyhow they still have life in them. He tells that of the dead fireman who had engraved upon his tombstone the epitaph : ‘Gone to his last tire.’ He fairly brims over with animation when ho starts out with tho re mark that his ‘brother is part Irish, al though they bad the same English parents. His brother had a cork leg.’ Francis Wil son, the comedian at the Casino, was once a promising negro minstrel. He could punctuate his songs, too, in the approved style of turning flip-flaps, lie was ambi tious and wanted to climb the ladder of fame. 1 am told he began in comic opera on a salary of slo a week. He now gets fJOO and $300 a week. There is a fascina tion about burnt cork that, as a rule, keeps an artist in that line all bis life. Wilson was an exception. Johnny Wild up at llarrigan’s is a finished negro person- ator. Tony Hart could not excel him in that line. Wild can play to perfection the high-toned city negro, who struts about in affluence for a time, and then, for lack of means, gets upon bis uppers. Barry Max well made some little reputation acting as a darkey in various plays. Hughey Dough- erty, who has a striking appearance, was accounted a star in Haverly s mastodons. Hughey has a mouth that can stretch al most from ear to ear. It is a peculiar fact that those ministrels who draw the picture of a negro true to life, who speak the ver nacular perfect, do not make as great suc cesses as real funny men. I could give an extended list of successful artists in the minstrel line, but those 1 have mentioned are well known. There are others well known, too, and many who are superan nuated.” "Do you see much change in perform ances within the past few years?” “No; everything, even to the jokes and gags, is conducted very much in the same style as a quarter of a century ago. If there is any chnnge that I particularly notice, It Is the absence of an attempt to portray any renl scenes from negro life. Broad bur lesque is given without any attempt what ever to imitate the darkey's lingo. An European who has never seen a negro could not form a correct idea of the man ners, conversation and traits oftliatrace by witnessing u negro minstrel perform ance. The proposed revival of negro min strelsy in this city at tho old stand once occupied by the famous California min strels shows that burnt cork artists are still appreciated.” CLINCNIAN’S T obacco REMEDIES THE CLINGMAN TOBACCO OINTMENT TilK MOST KFFKCTIVK PREPARA TION on the market for Pile*.

It is simple in construction, and so well illustrated by the cut, that scarcely a word is needed by way of explanation. Being simply an Iron Ncrew and Nut substituted for wood, the wood work of its construction, and the manner of operating it, are substar stantially the same as in the old style of wooden plantation screw, but the tinibc rs required are not so heavy or long. Most planters of experience prefer the wooden screw to any of the more modern Cotton Presses in use, but the difficulty and uncertainty of controlling labor and mechanical skill in the season of the year most convenient to the planter for their ereo- tion, usually renders it a matter of economy, as well as necessity, with him, to buy some kind of Press that requires but little mechanical skill to put it in operation. “Golden'* Screw,” is a sort of compromise between the old style of wooden screw and the modern Cotton Press, combining the principal advantages of the former with the convenience and economy of the latter. It can be operated with greater facility than the wooden acrew, and the rapidity of its performance, like that of the wooden screw, or any other press, depends upon its management—as on the old style screws some planters would pack ten bales, and others thirty or thirty-five bales per day. Any ordinary mechanic who can make a good plantation gate, or common plow stock, can do the wood work. Within the last eleven years we have made and sold a great many of these screws, and have yet to he.ar of the first one that has not given entire satisfaction. We furnish all the Iron Work for these Screws, of which we make two sizes, and fully warranted. je20 wed.se&wGm N ewengland conservatory 0F MUSIC Boston, Mass.
