THE ULKs PAGEANT
Monday night has for its subject "ThG
Romance OF Childhood" While this i,
the first night display ever made by the
Ulks in Memphis, we have no doubt bu.
what i! will more than realize the bes'
hopes Of their friends and elicit unques
tionable commentator from those whC
may not believe it possible for this mys
tic organization to present a pageau
worthy the name Of art or creditable t
the fame which the Memphi have givel
the Memphis carnival. This we say be
cause the subject. Romance Of Child
hood has been carefully, yet GRACEFUL,
composed. The composition, we hear
is by the pen Of the Count de Noses
Barren Of Cash, who is one Of the few
worthy representative Of genuine humor
pointed with brilliant wit. AS a literary
production the composition has grea
merit. Its diction is decidedly aesthetic
characterized by a charming simplicity
and a sauntering grace. To the author
De Noses, we are disposed to accord lite
rary talent of an high order. May tbii
not be his last effort in a field where al

idly passed the deep researches OF long
forgotten ages, wales Of tradition, monu
ments of antiquity, and the corridors o
time. The great Temple OF Fame, with
, its myriads of heroes, its philosophers
its sages, its soldiers. its poets and It'll
painters have failed to crown its hopes
and aspirations.
Soaring iato the cabalistic shadows O
the past it has discovered e great mystic
rious cavern-whose unexplore1 laby
rintks ore as deep aud varied as the co
~rsl.studded grottoes hidden beneath the
seas-a secret recess whose placid lakes
mirror hope, faith, joy, sorrow, and
every passion that ever animated the
human breast. From its mystic depths
and from you, it invokes its inspiration;
and, c%ulling from the honored oasket to
which time has assigned it, reveals the
treasure in all the splendor and magni6
cence OF its ancient and pristine glory,
and presents you with the Romance Of
Childhood - its pleasant memories, its
weird i%ancies, its joyous reveries and de
lightful "reminiscences that were wont tC
cast a glamour DER %childhoed's brightest
happy days-and, by the magic won5er
of her glorious art, blends the witeberiel
of the past with the impress Of the pres
