Fredericksburg News, (Md..) has the following:
':In the county in which We were raised, for twen-
ty generations back, a certain family of wealth and
responsibility have intermarried, until there cannot
be found, in three of them, sound man woman.
One has sore eyes, another scrofula third is idiot
ic, fourth blind, fifth bandy-legged, sixth with
head about the size of turnip, with not one out
of the number exempt from physical or mental de-
fects of some kind. Yet this family perseveres to
intermarry with each other with these living monu-
ments of their folly constantly before them.

where he became clerk in mercantile house, part
Of his duty there being the superintendent of a rope
walk, upon which was employed large number Of
slaves.
From these slaves he first acquired knowledge
of negro characteristics, he being always silent, but
close observer OF their manners, and willing student
of their queer and simple but expressive melodies. In
1882 Chrisy joined Welch's menagere. and became a
Negro melodst and comic singer He subsequently,
appeared upon the public stage at Buffalo. in the char
acter OF an Extravaganza and Bufo Vocalist In
1912, however he determined to organize band, the
members Of which, independently of their proficiency
on their several instruments, should be sufficiently
skilled in music 10 be able to harmonise negro solos
and vary the entertainments with properly arranged
Duets, Trios. Quartetes and Choruses. With such
simple materials he has since established permanent
and most popular entertainment, from which he has al
ready realised very large fortune.
