Every amendment proposed by the
Republicans was offered in good faith,
hoping that some one of the number
would carry, thereby breaking, to some
extent, the power and malignity of the
blow 1eveled at the head OF the defense

evil design has failed, but no thanks to
them for IL. We wish to show what may
be expected OF a party who are in favor

control OF the State and National Gov

shownin the above record.

The Minstrel Hall Caricature Drama.
The minstrel halls are to the amusements of
the people something like what the funny
papers are to the more heavy journalistic
literature Of the day. And they are just a.
necessary, too. II is not always that the mind
OF great metropolis can be entertained with
the drama, whether in the form Of tragedy,
with her dagger and poison cup, or comedy,
with her mask, which just as often resembles
anything else as it does Comus. Public taste
sometimes wearles of both aspirants for favor,
and even the lyric art fails occasionally to
supply that craving for variety Of enjoyment
which is as essential to metropolitan life as air
and sunshine are to the flowers. And it is here
that caricature steps in to all the void-that
pleasant burlesque, more popular with the
masses than the genuine "Grande Duchesse,"
which they do not comprehend, or the lightest
trifles Of French opera or German comedy
which can be presented to them. For example,
the "Grand Dutch Cheese" at one minstrel
hall and the "Grand Dutch s" at another, and
coverer, take immensely. For large portion
of our population the admirable caricatures of
the popular plays being performed at the regu-
lar theatres, which the managers of such min
strel halls as the San Francisco, Kelly Il
Icons, Tony Pastors, and Hooley's, in Brook
Ign, constantly present. are exceedingly attrac-
tive, and the consequence is that these houses
are always crowded. But while the patronage
Is large and encouraging, the managers of
these houses should not be remiss in improving
their peculiar style OF entertainment. A good
deal is yet to be done in the way Of additional
scenic effect and costume and the pruning
down of some occasional vulgarities in order
to render these places Of amusement ell that
may be desired for them. Of late years there
has been great Improvement in the class of
entertainment known as "negro minstrelsy,"
and wider field is being occupied by it every
day. Let the Improvement 60 on and the
sphere be enlarged until all classes can find
recreation in the minstrel halls and grow fat
on It.
