AFTER THE BOYS.

the T. l.. g. Minstrels-SOms Com
ments ON Their last Perror@
ance.
The minstrel performance under the
auspices of the Taylor Literary club at
the atheneum on Friday evening was
attended by large audience composed
OF the most fashionable and Intelligent
portion of the community and while it
is our opinion that the performance was
good, and all that could have
been expected OF amateurs,
there were those present who
took exceptions TO it. and who criticised
the boys severely. We hsye received
several communications on the subject,
and lay them before our readers. The
first is from young lawyer, vino, hsv-
ing had some experience In the business,
ought to know what he is talking about.
The following Is an extract from his
communication:
The performance from first TO last was
not what the public had q right to ex.
pect. The first and second performances
by the club were very good. and
do not believe could have
been improved upon ~ the
bows for we must not forget the faet
that thew are only amateurs. But the
ner formance on Friday night was CON-
nIete failure. The s'lokes" were Old.

would ADVISE him to give ~ the profss.
sion, DO not like to be too severe on
tue BOYS, but my candid opinion 10 that
mtnstrslay rs not their tort. Thew hsve
mistaken their calling ana
would advise them to 90 into
some other business, They will not get
rich In the minstrel business.
The following is portion of another
communication on the same subject:
EDITOR BULLETIN The headline Of
the programme issued by the TAYLOR
Literary club for their entertainment
Friday night, read.
"Once more we greet YOU
and since the performance is over, the
almost unanimous sentiment Of the pub
lie is: =
'once more we hope not to meet you
1t Is not usual to criticise amateur per.
formances, but as the Taylor
Literary club minStrels have
given several performances here, and
made q professional tour through Mis-
souri,, and are now talking Of going to
kentucky, they are subject to criticism.
VIII be as mild as possible with the boys,
put must say the performance on Fri.
day night was miserable. In the first, or
opening part, every performer seemed to
De frightened. The instrumental part of
the entertainment was horrid. and AT
times the music sounded worse than
the sqneaklng OF lot of pigs under .
gate. EisenberR might improve by go
ing into the woods and practice a little,
Mr.. Howe should try to make himself
heard by the audience, for some
OF them went to sleep on
bis song. "Essie, Dear" by Aisthorpe,
would have been passable ii the orches-
ira had played .some other air. Sam
Parker should leave his tobacco on the
wharfboat, and then he might make
himself understood. Billy Morris ought
to try to disguise himself Just Q little.
Lou Schuckers might play tragedy
heavy tragedy-but comedy IL not his
tort. The only passable part OF the per-
formance was John Horn as the
prima donna, and George Fry In
bis Dutch specialties. Crank Cali
gher's best performance was pas
sable, but bis wardrobe was not sabstau.
tial. The tableaux scene would have
been good, but the idea Of holding an
angel with two-inch rope spoiled il all.
Lally and Walsh were good, and deserve
some credit. As for the 'jokes' they
were all old and contained no wit, or If
they did the audience failed to appreciate
It. The truth 10 the boys had better try
something else, for as Ministries they are
failures.

THE PRESENT POLICY OF
GERMANY.

While really Indifferent, as they say
they are, to the course which Eastern
affairs may take, the German EMPEROR
and his CHANCELLOR are not Indifferent to
the changes in the relations ofthe Powers
which may arise through the troubles in
the Tmkish En- pire. To keep Russia aud
Austria in tolerable harmony, and to pro-
mote a settlement Of the Eastern Question
which shall satisfy the one, without driy,
inc the other to dec ~es.ioo, is the 20 icy
which circumstances oppose on the Ger
a.an Empire. III. .- aothiog in the
present attitude Of Germany, SO far as we
kuow, which is at variance with this idea.
We should be less surprised to see an
understanding restored between these En-
pires thar to find the opinion confirmed
which attributes to Prince BISMARCK the
Machiavellian policy OF urging Russia to
an exhausting and rulnOus war. The
enemies OF Germany are 100 powerful tor
a German statesman to ALLEVIATE an ally of
sixty years by a transparent stratagem.
The internal condition of the Empire, in
which the most |virulent faction is at work,
suggests a cautious policy. With peace
the difficulties may be surmounted, but
peace requires such an alliance as secured
Germany in 1870, and has strengthened
her since. France makes no secret Of her
plans for a wal OF revenge; the Austrian
Amy would be glad TO measure swords
again with the Prussians there are minor
States jealous with or without good cause i;
there arc hostile clements in Prussian Po-
land and Alsace. With these perils before
him a German Statesman is not at all
likely to have conceived the design attri-
buted TO Prince BI>MARCK.-London Times.
