Mr.. ISAAC L. JOHNSON, the well-known
searcher of titles and attorney-at-law, received
a telegram last night announcing the sudden
death OF his mother, Mrs. Sarah Johnson, at
Kellogg MINI. The sad news was the more
astonishing because OF his ignorance of her
being sick, and 1t Is thought that her death
was entirely unexpected. Mr. Johnson left
here this morning to attend the funeral, which
takes place next Friday. The deceased was
the widow OF the late William A. johnson,
both OF whom resided In this city for years,
and had many friends, who VIII sympathize
with the son In his deep ai1ilction.
ONE of the most ridiculous features in
some OF the minstrel companies OF to-day is
the absurd and utterly useless habit OF parad-
ing the artists along the th6roughfares of the
cities In which they appear to the music Of a
brass band. In old days, before advertising
and Its beneficial results was understood, this
sort of business may have had some effect to-
ward enlarglng the audiences, but nowadays
II is as useless as IL Is grotesque. We were sur
prtsed to see that 80 worldwide and famous q
troupe as Hayerly's now In the city, are sc
paraded. One should know that such famous
names In mlnstrelsy as Billy Rice, Leon and
Frank Cushman are SUFFICIENT without such
needless display.
