The Curtain Rung Dovn-The Last Act
 in FavOrite Charley Back us' Life.
 NEW YORK, June 21.-ChRrIes Backus, the famous minstrel man, died this morning at his home in West Forty fourth street.
 The health of Mir. Backus has been delicate for the last two years, although few persons, booking only at his ample form ana jovial countenance would have suspected that he was man on the verge of the grave. The immediate cause of his death was pneumo- mia in combination with series of internal disorders, which all the strength of his originally robust constitution was unable to resist.
 There have been many greater minstrel performers than Charley" Backus, but few greater public favorites He was born in Rochester fifty years ago and made his first appearance upon tine stage in amateur per formances. He exhibited great skill as mimic and, being encouraged by his friends, soon ventured upon the professional boards, acting Jerry Clip in ''The Widows Victim,' in the old Center Street Theater of Cincin- natl in 1851. He was successful, and with the view of improving his fortune he visited California and Australia and finally reached this city about twenty years ago. In 1865 in partnership with Birch, Wambold and Bernard he started the San Francisco minstrels, with whom he was almost continuously connected up to the day of his death. In 1870 he went to England and appeared with the Moore and Burgess minstrels in St. James, Hall. He made hit, and was guest in many distin guished houses, but his stay ia London was not long one. He returned to New York and rejoined the San Francisco minstrels, who prospered greatly under the manage ment of Messrs. Birch, Wambold and him. self. Ill health compelled MT. Wambold to retire some time ago, and it is said that Mir. Birch has declared that he will not con- tinue in the organization after the death of his old associate. It is, there fore, possible that the death of Charley" Backus may mean the dissolution of the San Francisco minstrels. Certain it is that the semi-oircle of sable songsters will lose much of the old charm in the absence of that TO- tund bcdy and marvellous mouth, which 1 was quite as broad as charity and much more practical. MT. Backus leaves 8 widow his third w1fe-and several children. His funeral services will take place in this city to morrow afternoon, after which his body l will be taken to Rochester for burial.
 The funeral will take place tomorrow af ! ternoon under the auspices of Amity lodge, F. A. M. At 8:30 tomorrow evening the re- mains will start for Rochester, where they ! will be buried at Mt. Hope cemetery. Mr. Birch is reported as saying that the famous San Francisco minstrels will be dissolved now that their great kearted founder is no more

Too much pepper: One of the most

ancedote as fact whenever he hears a
story too Incredible for belief: "a very
wicked man became converted and in
course OF time it came his turn to pray
in GLASS meeting. Not being used to
speaking in public, of course he was
very much embarrassed. This is the
substance Of the prayer: oh, Lord,
thou Giver of all good things, look
down with pity on poor people. You
are rioh and can spare them plenty to
eat while on earth. Send every one OF
them full barrel of -four, plenty of lard
and side of bacon, ham or so and q
pound of butter. Send each one OF
your starving creatures barrel of su-
gar, a barrel Of salt, barrel of peppe,
oh, hell, that's too much pepper.
