Saturday night Captain Hendricks received tele.
gram from Albany, N. Y, ins.ructlng him to ar
rest and hold until further orders George Hunter,
member OF Skir Gaylord's minstrel troupe.
Shortly after the reception OF the dispatch, the
Captain hnd Hunter arrested, and now has him
| in charge. - ~ ,, g
Hunter Is the little clog dancer OF the troupe in
which line he Is inimitable. He is very communi-
cattye and very shrewd. In Conversation with
himNt the Guardhouse yesterday, he, after giving
us specimen OF his "heel and toe "double shuf-
ne,"' pigeon wing" and variety OF other fancy
movements, told us his history as follows: az am
eleven years old, ana was born In Albany n Y /;
went to see o minstrel show one night
With mother, and the manager asked me to
join, and did so; mother was willing;
this troupe pays me $40 week and
boards me; BryantassMlnstrels will board
me and give me $40 a week; / am glad
mother has sent for me; reckon 1t Is because she
wants me 70 join Bryant; and $40 week Is better
than $1o yer know; mother thinks 1 can't take
care OF myself, but can; intend to go to school
and learn to be smart In my profession; can
black up and wash or quicker nor any man In tfle
troupe;I want ter go TO mother; 1t Is sad TO leave
the troupe; It makes me cry yer know, but feller
wants ter go hum, yer know" % P'ef .. y
He concluded the last sentence In the furthest
corner OF the room to which he had gotten by one
OF those movements peculiar to burnt-cork min
strelsi he then quickly returned on his heels and
piled as with every imaginable kind OF question.
For answers we. referred him TO themanagers Of
the late City High Court of Impeachment and
beat retreat, not knowing but that when we
opened our mouth to give an answer Il wouhl
give the little knight Of the burnt cork g desixed
opportunity Of standing ON, his head and pufE{np
his feet down our throat. gs NJ. ;,tI ., ij.,,,.;T5
