THE SAN FRANCISCO MrSsTRxLs.-The performances OF
this racy band of brothers the town talk. Nightly
their capacous hall is filed with highly select and APP
precatve audiences and the house Is continually moved
by repressble bursts Of laughter One great charm Of
their performances is the entire absence OF everything
calculated to offend the most fastdious taste Hence II
is that whole families, big and little, with mater and
pd,er Jdmilias to be nightly in attendance.
Where there is so much It is difficult TO decide
which Of the performers most deserve applause so the
audience bestow it upon them all In lump. Most Of
the local eccentrictes Of the day happily hit OFT and
wherc fun be extracted from the most doorous
subjects these the boys TO do it, Billy Birch and
Charley Backus allow the spirits Of the audience

humor from the moment they show their ebony faces

drollery and the melodious voice OF Wambold moves

San Francisco Mnsrels the best and most original In
the city. There Is something new every night No
stranger should leave the city without seeing them To
our own people such advice IL unnecessary.

GREELEY AND THE NORTH CAROLINA Ne

him. A resolution thanking the young colored

Carolina Negro Convention now in session at
Raleigh, when question arose as to whether
or not it applied to "Brother Greeley" A

TIE CONSTITUTIONAL AmNDnzSr-A HArnRIAL
MISTAKE CoRRzcrED.-TThe Times Of yesterday,
in an article upon the constitutional amend
ment abolishing slavery, after referring to the
constitutional provision for the ratification OF
such amendment by three-fourths Of the States
through conventions or the Legislatures thereof,
as Congress may prescribe, says ut would have
been quite competent, therefore, for the Con-
ventions CHOSE Of Mississippi, South Carolina,
&c.) just held to have ratified the amendment,
and we do not know why it was not DONE"
We can tell our contemporary why. Those con-
ventions were not authorized to act upon the
subject The act Of Congress casts the ratifica-
ton upon the Legislatures Of the several States
That u the only ratification that will be valid;
and this is the point which we hope will not be
overlooked by the Southern States in their
work of reconciliation.

tol ball of Booth passed through this
hole is now exploded. And the stage
carpenter may have to answer for
this little oritice with all his neck
For when Booth leaped from the box
