A word About American IHumor And
IHumOrlsts.

1t is common postulate that Americans
are not a Enthusiastically humorous peo-
pie, and ii is perhaps a true one, since the
rapid aud vigorous growth of 50 young
nation leaves but little time for the cultiva-
ton of those social graces which require
aAiple leisure for their development. But
ir we are not essentially humorous as a
people, we have ready appreciation of
humur and keen relish for ii, whenever 1t
is presented TO us in an attractive form.
There is, moreover, n vast amount of crude
wit among US, which will, by and by, ripen
into TIE more agreeable melowness OF gem
uine humor. Our lua is of the rough and
ready quality, too often bordering suspi-
ciously upon downright cUarseness, not TO
say vulgarity. Our satire has not the crisp,
bri liani fash of Il denly handled rapier,
but tears like a cumsiy poised foil pierre
ing ragged wound, button and ALL Ev-
cry community, however, has its leaven OF
refinement which is surely, II slowly,
making Itself felt throughout our entire So
cial structure, and we need no clearer proof
of the assertion than the growing taste for
humor which the observant can detect on
every hand.
The demands of this taste hive gradually
brought to the front such professional Fu-
morists as ARENAS Ward, Otpheus c.
Kerr, Josh Billings, Mark Twain, Thomas
Mast, Petroleum V. Nasty, Nym Crinkle,
Eli Perkins and the Danbury News Man,
who typify, in o greater or less degree,
veins of humor which may he said 10 dis
tinguish different localities. The mission
of these writers aud speakers is an emf
nently beuefcent one. IL they succeed on
" in making us laugh, they accomplish
very great good. A hearty unreserved
laugh is a better stimulus TO exertion than
a glass Of wine; innocent mirth quiets the
nerves and aids digestion much more
BEAUTIFULLY than narcotics and bitters But
our humorists do more than excite laugh
ter. They riddle the strongholds of vice,
superstition and ignorance with The solid
shot and whsting shell OF wit and sar-
casm; they make grotesque the salient
Weaknesses of social, political and relig-
lou, rgauizatens they send their telling
shafts through tue vulnerable interstices
in the armor of pride, wealth and super
ciliousness beneath which so many shall
low pates seek TO hide their ltteness and

Is. And now there is another war
over the question whether a man has
any rights which woman is bound to
respect. A worthy citizen of MlIwau-
kee concluded to paint his house, and
accordingly secured an artist with pot
and brush, who mounted ladder and
commenced operations. The hired
girl at the same time, concluding to
water the grass, got out the garden
hose and went at it. She was nery-
Gus girl and something gave her such
start that she was unable to control
the nozzle, which turned in her hand,
and poured about four barrels of pure
Lake Superior water, from the bottom
of the lake and just off the ice into the
face and down the back of the man on
the ladder. With a wild whoop of
despair, he flung up his hands, and
ladder, paint, man and all came tnm.
bling to the ground in one heap,
knocking down the girl and daubing
both plentifully with the contents of
the paint pot. As soon as the paint,
or could remove the mixture of paint,
dirt, water and hired girl from his
person, he started frantically otto get
warrant for the arrest of the cause
of his trouble, and the courts of justice
will soon be called upon to decide
whether man can peacefully pursue
his avocation without being got into
some Internal scrape by woman
