A MINSTREL'S CAREER.

BILLY KEBsANDs' LIFE AN INSTANCE OF
GENIUS BOUND TO RISE.
Billy Kersands is On instance of orig
inal genius bound to come to the front.
Born in Louisville he used to run with
the gang, and became q bootblack as
soon as he was able to carry box. His
comicalities (Which come NATURALLY made
him quite character, and Billy, i'm
pressed with his own Importance, soon
struck out for new territory. He was
tired of the sameness of life in Louisville,
and with nothing but his box he one day
secured cross-tie pass and went to the
Mecca of the newsboy and bootblack-
New York city.
This was Just after the close of the
late war, and as there were no race dis
tinctions in the society Billy saw fit to
enter he soon became great favorite.
Bred in Kentucky the new sinner knew
how to dance, and on the street corners
and other convenient places he was al
ways willing to do the "juba" or shoe
down" to entertain his companions. His
stand was in the vicinity of a large
theater, and Billy soon attracted the at
tention Of q number of minstrels, among
them Charles Backus, Billy Manning,
Dan Bryant, Billy Birch, and others of
the earlier burnt-cork artists.
His first appearance on the stage was
in the early part of 1856, at the old Bow
cry Theater, where he appeared as the
Slave Boy in southern drama called
"Cudjoe's Cave" Among the spectators
were 30 many of his fellow "shiners. up"
who knew Billy through his makeup and
guyed him 80 fearfully, that he refused to
go ON the next night. 1t was long time
before he got the nerve to appear before
the foot lights again, but in the fall of
the same year the "Original Georgia
Minstrels" opened in New York city and
Billy was coaxed into doing double
song and dance with ALI Smith. From
this his stage life has been continuous.
Soon after the company came to Louis
vile, Just about the time that Col. Will
8. Hays had dashed of the musical negro
melody, "Keep in the Middle of the
Road" Kersands heard the song, and
obtained Col. Hays's permission to sing
it. 1t took, and Billy Kersands, the
Louisville boy, with his Louisville song
directed to him, and with the great Cal
lender the genuine negro minstrels were
taken to Europe, where they made tour
y. he continent.
Kersands has been before the public
for about nineteen years, and his ''funny
business" has lost none Of its zest. He
creates laugh without working for it.
His present venture is one in which he
has financial interest, and his partners
are men Of experience in the amusement
line and capable of making money. His
family live here. They consist of wife
and grown daughter, Courier Journal.

JOHN KENT's CURE.

Among alleged faith cures" the case
of John Kent, policeman in Jersey City,
will attract attention. This man was be-
lieved to be suffering from rheumatism
and consumption, which are pretty diff
cult diseases to heal. But after much
praying, and being once anointed with
oil, he declares himself we'll man and
returns to work. 1t is this last point
which will perplex the incredulous. To
believe himself healed is one thing; to
return to work is another, and is the
strongest proof offered either that the
cure was real, or the man was never sick.
1t will be noted that physician's certi-
ficate of the nature of Kent's diseases is
not forthcoming, and that he has not yet
been on duty day.-Ne~ York 1ri-

A RARE CRIMINAL CASE.

The trial now going on in Boston of the
captain of the brig Mary Celeste and the
owners of her cargo is of kind that is
happily rare in our courts. This vessel
was wrecked on coral reef off Hayti last
january, and it is charged that she was
purposely wrecked by the captain, acting
in collision with the shippers of the cargo,
in order to defraud the insurance com
panies. There are six Of these shippers
on trial with the captain. They are ar
ranged under statute of the United
States which fixes the maximum punish
ment for the crime at imprisonment for
ten years and fine of $4,000, The
captain has also been indicted for "cast-
ing away" the vessel, the punishment
for which is death. The testimony 30
far produced by the government is strong
against the prisoners. Neso York Herald

MARRIAGES AND AGES.

Recently sat next the Baroness and
Mr.. Burdett-C outts at o place of enter
tainment. Her ladyship was superbly
appareled, and, on appearing among
the audience, was presented by q young
girl, dressed in black, with large white
bouquet, all lilies and tuberoses, trimmed
with white lace. Mr.. Burdett- Coutts
seems to be endowed by nature with the
most enviable Of all gifts, mirthful dis
position. He has laughing mouth and
a splendid set Of white teeth. He is a
jolly, handsome man, and don't wonder
his wife likes him. There has been a
great deal of comment made about this
match, but, for my part, see no more
reason why lady Of Go may not marry
a man of 33. if both are willing, than
that man of 80, like Sir Jules Benedict,
should marry girl in her twenties, as
believe Lady Benedict still is.-OHpe To-
CAMS Letter.

The decision in the house of lords in
the Lauderdale peerage case follows the
Interpretation put upon the marriage
laws Of the colony. of New York, before
the revolution, by Mr.. Phelps, the
United States minister to Great Britain,
and by our -townsman, Mr., Stephen
p. Nash. These two gentlemen were ex-
amined as witnesses in the case, and their
concurrent testimony was that neither
banns nor license was necessary in colon
ial times, any more than they are now,
to the validity of marriage. Other en-
inent American lawyers gave testimony
to the contrary, but it did not overthrow
that of Messrs. Phelps and Nash.-Ne'o

Oh was II I, or was II you
That broke the subtle chain that ran
Between us two, between us two?
Oh was 1t l, or was II you?
Not very strong the chain at best,
Not quite complete from span to span;
I never thought 'twould stand the test
OF settled commonplace, ut best.
But, oh how sweet, how sweet you were,
When things were at their first and best,
And we were friends without demur,
Shut out from all the sound and stir.
The little, pretty, worldly racel
Why couldn't we have stood the test
The little test OF commonplace
And kept the glory and the grace
OF that sweet time when first we met?
Oh was II /, or was 1t you
That dropped the golden links and let
The little rift, and doubt, and fret
Creep in and break that subtle chain?
o was II /, or was II you2
still ever yet aud yet again
Old parted friends will ask with pain.
