Mr.. Cable on the Banjo,

-RttA A"f ~ AfNCtftes
George w. Cable, in his room at the
Everett House, was trolling little Creole
negro ditty, when a Tribune reporter, ac-
cepting his invitation, opened the door
yesterday. The song had a quaint charm
and ran like this:
''Noyez &c mulet Ia Musieu Banjo.
CONNIE il c { insOlent.
Chapean sur cote. AIuseu Banjo.
La canine a la main, Musieu Banjo,
Bottle qul falt erin, erin, Musieu Banjo"
''Who is 'Musieu BainioY" the report
er asked.
1.-The banjo, of course" replied Mr..
Gable.
And the singer, l suppose, is Creole
slave, who takes the instrument into his
confidence and describes a dandy. l
thought that Joel Chandler Harris had
told US that the negroes did not use the
banjOg'
i have listened half night at a time to
negroes singing to their banjOs. That was
before the war. No baniOs? Listen to that
rhythm-is that native to any other instru-
ment? But it may be that Mr.. Harris
never saw negro with one. 1t is a fact
that where you find one negro with banjo
you find a hundred with fiddles. Still. l
wouldn't be surprised to learn that the
banjo was a genuine African invention.
But to learn its merits you must hear a
really capable player; friend of mine,
not professional player, can transform
the instrument with his skill. There is a
real charm in its Tone"
isn't the guitar superior instru-
mentg"
mo, you can't get those small divisions
of tones which the negroes have in their
melodies out of guitar, because of the
frets. Why don't they make guitars with
out frets? 1 have never seen one that was
in tune all over the keyboard. Now, 1
like a banjo; there is a savage quality in
its tone that is fascinating, aside from its
strongly marked rhythmical elOquence.
1t is just as much a negro instrument as
the barrel with jawbOne drumsticks
which they use in their dances. They
have, besides, a Pan's-pipe of three Joints
OF cane, to which they add a fourth note
with their voice, falsettO, and some of
them have marvellous skill in whistllng."
1.-The songs which you give in your
readings-how ought they to be accom-
paniedg"
with a banjO.n
"DO the Creole negroes sing them in
harmOny?"
"No; unless YOU call the octave har-
mony. They have that, of course"

The Romance of a Practical Young Man
san Fraaeisco Chronicle.

A rich man has a plain and unattrac-
tive daughter, to whom no eligible young
fellow paws much attention. At last one
beau is noticed to be rather ''gone," and
the love affair develops for a couple OF
weeks. Then to him the father:
"Ioung man, l notice you are paying
very marked attentions to my daughter"
The young man stammers and shutters.
taken aback.
$40 not be alarmed. l am willing you
should. Indeed, may tell you that the
day give you my daughter / will place
100000 in the bank to your account"
''fou are very kind, I'm sure. But, if
your daughter in the bank to my account
and give me the $100, 000."
