THIS Is great country for celebrations
and NO event in their past history scarcely
escapes. The New York school teachers
celebrated day or two ago the 10Th ami
versary of the adoption of the American
flag by reception at the grand opera house
1t was very proper that this anniversary
should have been celebrated. In fact i,
should have been general in every hamlet

ought to have been universal rejoicing, bu

and fathers from their families There are
hundreds and hundreds of minor supersti-
hons that have come down from century to
century, and from generation to generation
that neither time nor education can destroy.
TIE world is full of people who will not
begin a Journey or any other undertaking On
u Friday; who believe that the breaking of q
looking glass foreboies death in the family |:
who shudder at the bowling of dog or the
cry of screech owl on their premises,
considering it ominous OF death or some
dire misfortune; who believe that to dream
of death is the sign of a wedding, and there
arc numerous olherjust as simple and foolish
superstitions that we might mention.
Tho south has probably been the
homo of more frivolous harmless sort of
superssitions than any other section Of our
country. This is owing to the fact that the
negroes in their ignorance are an exceedingly
superstitious people, believing in all manner
OF signs and representations, and the child
ren OF every southern household accustomed
to play With the colored children and to
listen to the tales of their "bleck msmmies"
and nurses, have imbibed their superstitons
and learned to believe in their ghosts and
s'gns, so that oven in manhood, when they
know better, they fnd it difficult to eradi,
cate these childish impressions. But after
all, when by study, by the culture of our
minds, by the acquisition of var ed informa-
ton, by experience ard by our mingliDg
with the world we explode all these falacies
are We any happier for il?

II is said Mr. Haverly pays premium

as does Mr.. llaverly. 1t is without cues
ton the finest combination of musical and
minstrel talent in the Chicago
lnter-0Cean.
The house was crowded from
orchestra to gallery. Many of the indiyid.
ual members ofthe company are well and
fayorably known here. The result of efhc.
lent stage and business management are
seen in the steady and efficient work done
by the troupe in its entirety. The first part
was bright and entertaining in well-ren.

entertainment was most pleasing surprise

While the entertainment is superior ia
anything that minstrelsy has hitherto dc.

ability far beyond the simple selection OF
