Mr.. SoTHERN, in all human probable
ity, will never play again. He has been
a broken-down man fol'the pasttwo years.
He is not an old man in years, but he is
lamentably old in reality. at is the pace
that kills, and the comedian has always
pushed himself from " eend to eend, as
| the late Mr.. Harper was. reported to
! have said With him will die Lord Dun
dreGry, and also a certain style of easy,
nonchalant acting, grotesque, quaint,
and effective as it was original. The wink
of Sothern was equal to volume of Joe
Miller. It,was sly, knowing, confden-
tial. Each man la the audience took it to
himself and became at once an intimate
friend Of the actor OF his private char
acter there is nothing to be said; that is
his own care. It is as an actor alone that
the world at large has a right to look
upon him-a fictitious being who won it
to laughter by discovering new and be-
fore unheard-of ticklish spot. He who
creates innocent laughter lis public
benefactor, and to my mind more worthy
of sculptured monument than he who
under the impudent disguise of mill
tary uniform shoots down his .fellow-men
and complacently looks around for APP
plause. - Louisville Coanies-Joua7sa
