YORK'S CHAMPIOH OF THE
^ laughers.
< .t,. f hing Bill" Convulsing a Whole
Audience.
jTi'IJuai Bennett, better known as
^ggjing Bill,” visited Wall street,
fork, recently. A reporter for
^eSnn»y* : His appearance in the
•G„ld Room was the signal for a general
fW pension of business and a universal
l»oph Mr. O’Brien took care of him,
jod after a formal introduction request-
fd Laughing Bill to favor them with an
exhibition of his wonderful powers of
laughing. Bat there was no laugh
there. The brokers laughed at Bill,
hot Bill wouldn’t laugh at them. After
leaving the Gold Boom, Bill visited the
jotoek Boom, where he was met by a
Mitchell, the champion laugher of Wall
afreet. The room was crowded, and as
soon as it was known that Laughing
Bill was among them, a throng of
brokers gathered about him and clam
ored loudly for a laugh. And Bill did
laugh. The chandeliers vibrated like
pendulums; the gold and stock indica
tors refused to perform their functions;
and many grosses of buttons from coats,
vesta and pantaloons strewed the floor
when the champion laugher had done.
In the evening, in company with
some friends, Laughing Bill visited the
theatre comique. He occupied the
upper right hand proscenium box and
quietly surveyed the immense audience.
The entertainment was of a pleusiu
nature, and consisted of diversions of
all kinds. There was tjie serio-comic
drama, the performing mules, the girl
who never saw a man, clog-dances, and
Arrah-na-Pogue, all for fifty cents.—
And there was Laughing Bill, too,
thrown into the bargain. The perform
ance commenced with the new local
drama. ‘‘Empire City.’’ The third scene
represents a pic nic party in Jones’
Woods, with the inimitable John Wood
as a colored waiter. When Hart reach
ed the stage he unconsciously looked to
wards Laughing Bill. The champion
laugher th n began. First he ha-ha’d,
then followed with a titter, a giggle, a
'chuckle, a shout and a peal of laughter
that lasted about ten minutes. The au
dience became infected and began to
smile, simper, smirk and grin, in quick
succession, and at last they broke out in
such a jteal of laughter as was never
heard before in a place of amusement.
But above the din could be heard Bill's
loud laugh. It was the same infectious,
unceasing laugh that made everybody
risible and ludicrous. At length Bill
stopped, and the manager ordered the
play to go on; but the whole scene had
T>ccn entirely lost.
Aa soon as quiet was restored, Mr.
Joseph Hart sent a polite message to
Laughing Bill, requesting him to stop
•laughing. The polite messenger was
accompanied by two bouncers and three
policemen. Bill laughed at them, and
they retired discomfittcd. Prof. J. J.
^bowles and his wonderful performing
donkeys, Pete and Barney, next occu
pied Laughing Bill’s attention. He
laughed so hard at the mules that they
became stubborn, and refushed to per
form. At this the audience again hurst
into a peal of laughter, but whether at
the mules or Laughing Bill, it was hard
to tell. At any rate it made no differ
ence to Bill, for he laughed jusf a;
heartily for about ten minutes, the au
dience laughing and cheering him by-
turns. At length a gentlemanly appear
ing youth with a red nose, a ponquet in
his button hole, and hair parted in the
centre, entered Bill’s box, and told him
be must either stop laughing or "get-
the same house at the same time. So
Josh Hart summoned all his ushers and
a few extra policemen and ejected the
famous Laughing Bill. This enabled
the actors to discharge their duties to
the satisfaction of the manager and the
audience, and show went on.
Mr. Bennett has shown his ability as
a laughist. He made an audience of
two thousand people laugh while he
laughed, and keep quiet when hq was
quiet, and has, therefore, well earned the
title of Laughing Bill, the champion
laugher of the world.
Awaiting Events.
It is a pity that so many able journals,
says the New York Tribune, wear out
their time and their readers’ patience,
threshing the air. Here is one, insist-
^gcuoitzee headed by the hatlUsoifRt y/f? i coJha-Ml -Di partyiituYJJ^ow
“All right,” said Mr. Bennett, “I’ll
atop laughing when the funny part be
gins.” At this the red-nosed youth
began to laugh, then the other ushers
and the three policemen took it up, and
finally the whole audience was laughing.
Bill was putting in his best licks. His
vhole body was fciughing, and his mouth
looked like a gash in a beefsteak.
A third time Mr. Josh Hart sent him
word to stop laughing. A big policeman,
brandishing a fierce looking club, bore
the message. Bill stopped as suddenly
as he began, at which the audience
hissed. Then Mr. William West sang
the audience into a good humor, and
tn*de way for Frank Kerns and John
Queen, the Morning Glories. They were
funny, so Bill didn’t laugh; but as soon
* they left the stage he gave the audi
ence a 4th edition of a genuine laugh.
e laughed immoderately. The audi
ence lay back exhausted, and shouted
or some one to take the man away. At
f, st *? e °f the proceedings it became
evident that Josh Hart and Laughing
Bill couldn’t run opposition shows in
be straightway revived in its integrity.
Here is another, declaring that the un
ion of the Liberal Republicans and the
Democrats is a marriage for better or
worse, till death do them part. Here
is a third, clamorous for free trade, or
at the very least, revenue reform, as the
great focal idea, about which is to begin
a new party crystallization. Would it
not be as well to remember that parties
are not manufactured, by politicians out
of employment, but grow from the wants
of the day ?
And the want of to-day is quiet. The
public mind is not unnaturally weary of
incessant demands for reform and ex
posures of corruption. No good is going
to come of forcing further discussion
out of season. It will come up in season
soon enough—only too soon, we fear,
unless the approaching session of Con
gress proves an exception to all that
have of late years preceded it. 'But just
now, the politician who insists on de
manding of a wearied public, which,
satisfied or disgusted, has acquiesced in
the popular decission, fresh attention to
new lines of political attack, mistakes
the time and the popular temper, and
hinders the cause he would help. Gen.
Grant has just received a new lease of
p«ver.. Let him have time to show what
he is going to do with it. When he
goes wrong, attack him. While he does
right, sustain the President of forty mil
lions. If he places more unfit men in
office, give him the same censure with
which,of late, he has been justly visited,
rf tho (’ascys and Cramers should get
no further countenance, the men who
have censured him ought to be tbe first
if they have the good of the country
rather than partisan advantage at heart
—to recognize aud encourage the re
form.
The grievances which the Cincinnati
Convention recited were real grievances.
One of them, the refusal of Amnesty,
was largely remedied, almost before the
delegates had reached their homes.—
Others the Philadelphia Convention
liberally promised to reform; and, since
the election, we have seen a willingness
to make the promise good in at least one
conspicuous instance, in the Civil Serv
ice. To the Liberal Republican move
ment both gains may be fairly credited.
So long as the leaders of that movement
contented themselves with protests, little
seemed to come of it. When they or
ganized open opposition, the Adminis
tration men hastened to confer Amnes
ty. and to reproduce in their promises
the essential demands demands of the
Cincinnati platform. If these promises
are kept, we shall be the last to complain
that opposition has succeeded in extort
ing what support and appeal could not
win. A\ e welcomed adoption of our
principles, and abandonment of the old
hostility to the results of the war, by the
Democracy With equal gladness, we
shall welcome any step which the Ad
ministration may take in the way of
effecting the reforms we have demanded.
A OAT DECEIVER.
The Capers of a Sharp Youngster.
The bold and adroit lover who baffles
both the indignation and vigilance of
the parent, and bears off the object of
his tender affection, unquestionably de
serves credit for dash and courage. But
the thrilling and delicious diversion
often has its drawbacks. • The maiden
has generally to leave her wardrobe with
an enraged father, who may or may not
be appeased, and sometimes has to carry
out the resolution which Lady Wortley
Montague was resolved upon, should the
emergency require—of going to the
arms of her lover “in nothing but her
night-gown.”

What is the matter ? Not men only,
but horses, cattle, swine, deer, domestic
fowls, etc., are being attacked with all

pheasants are dying by hundreds near
Bath, England, and post-mortem exam

of the dead hares are full of worms, and
that the deaths of the pheasants, too,
are owing to the presence of parasites in

Not ion Salk in Book oh News Stobes.—
The Aldine, while issued with all toe regu
larity, has none of the temporary or timely
interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals.*
It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light and
graceful literature; and a collection of pict
ures, the’rarest specimens of artistic skiU, in
black and white. Although each succeeding
number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends
the real value and beauty of the Aldine will
be most apprecisted after it has been bound
up at the close of the year. While other
publications may claim superior cheapness,
as compared with rivals of a similar class,
the Aldine is a unique and original concep
tion—alone and unapproached—absolutely
without competion in price or character. The
possessor of a complete volume cannot dupli-
catethe quantity of fine paper and engravings
in any other shape or number of volumes for
ten times its cost; and then there are the
chromos besides.
Am Department.—Notwithstanding the
increase in subscription last fall, when the
Aldine assumed its present noble proportions
and representative character, the edition was
more than doubled during the past year;
proving that the American public will appre
ciate and support a sincere effortin the cause
of art. The publish rs, anxious to justify the
ready confidence thus demonstrated, have
exerted themselves to the utmost to develop
and improve the work; and the plans forthe
coming year as unfolded by toe monthly
issues will astonish and delight its most san
guine friends.
Tne publishers are authorized to announce
design^ from many of the most eminent art
ists of America. In addition, the Aldine will
reproduce examples of toe best foreign mas
ters, selected with a view to the highest
artistic success, and greatest general inter
est; avoiding such as have become familiar,
thruugh photographs or copies of any kind.
Tho quarterly tinted plates for 1873 wili
reproduce four of John S. Davis’ inimitable
child-sketches, appropriate to the four sea
sons. These plates, appearing in the issues
of January, April, July and October, would
be alone worth the price of subscription. The
popular feature of a copiously illustrated
••Christmas” number will be continued.
To possess such a valuable epitome of the
art world, at a cost so trifling, will command
the subscriptions of thousands in every sec
tion of the country; but as the usefulness
and attractions of the Aldine can be enhancf
ed in proportion to the numerical increase o-
its supporters, the publishers propose to
make “assurance double sure,” by the fol
lowing unparalleled offer of premium chromos
for 1873. Every subscriber who pays in ad
vance for the year 1873 will receive without
additional charge, a pair of beautiful oil
chromos, after J. J. Hill, the eminent Eng
lish painter. The pictures entitled “The
Village Belle,” and “Crossing the Moor,”
are 14x20 inches—are printed from twenty
five different plates, requiring twenty-five
impressions and tints to perfect each picture.
The same chromos are sold for $30 per pair
in the art stores. As it is the determination
of its conductors to keep the Aldine out of
the reach of competition in every depart
ment, the chromos will be found correspond
ingly ahead of any that can be offered by
other periodic Is. Ifyery subscriber will re
ceive a certificate, over the signature of the
publishers, guaranteeing that the chromos
delivered shall be equal to the samples furn
ished the agents, or the money will be re
funded. The distribution of pictures of this
grade, free to the subscribers to a five dollar
periodical, will mark an epoch in the history
of art; and considering the unprecedented
cheapness of the price for the Aldine itself,
the marvel falls little short of a miracle, even
to those best acquainted with the achievements
of inventive genius and improved mechanical
appliances. For illustrations of them chro
mos see November issue of the Aldine.
The Literary Department will continue
under the care of Sir. Richard Henry Stod
dard, assisted by the best writers and poets
of the day, who will strive to have the litera
ture always in keeping with the artistic at
tractions.
Terms :—$5 00 per annum, in advance,
with oil chromos free, Tlfe Aldine will here
after be obtainable only by subscription.—
There will be no reduced or club rates; cash
for subscriptions must be sent to' the pub
lishers direct or handed to the local agent,
without responsibility to tbe publishers, ex
cept in cases were certificates are given,
bearing the fxc simile signature of James
Sutton i Co.
