English Opinion Of American Fun.
Vfen Irrelevant and Unpublished.
But Meier Stupid OF
Immoral.

| American humor is little strain
ed, and is often very local. In ev-
cry case it is different from that Of
the English. 1t has nothing in
common with Fielding, or smolle,r,
or Thackeray, or, happily with Ra-
belais or Villon. The difference
between opera bouffe and an Ar
glo-Saxon farce is the difference
between the humor of the French
man and the English in America.
The snob and the husband are not
satirized. The American devotes
hi. domestic jocosity to the whimsi
callties of the small boy, the Wild
ow, the mother-in.law, the bully,
the visionary specalator, the game
ster and the commercial traveller.
Fighting and money getting afford
the principal subjects, and in the
South it is mainly confined to the
former. 1t is seldom deep, though
always clean and depends mainly
on exaggeration and blending of
jest and earnest, which some one
has described as the singing of
comic words to sad tune, telling a
preposterous story with grave
foce. When Mr.. Lowell declares
thai negro was so black that
charcoal made a chalk mark on
him." or that's wooden single was
painted so like marble that it SINK
he illustrates the leading feature Of
American humor. Again, when
"Artemus Ward"-w whom most peo-
pie now know to have been ban
TIED Charles Browne-tells M of a
young man who claimed to be es-
empted from serving as a soldier
'because he wos the only son Of
widowed mother who supported
him." we laugh, not at the humor
Of the situation, for there is none.
but at the unexpected turn the ex-
,nse takes. This was tho kew to
he fun of "Josh Billings" and the
egion who have initiated it. They
show no reverence for anything or
They are not polished
gentlemen, or even men of high
education, like Howell and Holmes.
But if fometimes vulgar, and often
ar fetched, there is this to be said
or their humor, it is never immoral
md is, therefore, worry unlike that
which derives its inspiration from
he other side of the channel or ev-
n from the full-bodied wit of Geor-
ian and Carolinian times.-[Lon-

MY FRIEND.

"i'tteh ny Col. w >. hawkins
&. S. A., prisoner of war at Cam
Chase, friend of a tellow-prisone
who was engaged to be married t,
a Southern lady. She proved faith
less to him. The letter arrived soor
after his death, and was answered
by Colonel Hawkins in the follow
ing lines:
Your letter came, but came too late
For Heaven has claimed its own:
An, Sudden change from PRISON bars
Unto the Great White Throne,
And yet, I think he would have
stayed
For one more day of pain,
Could he have read these tarly
words
Which you have seat in vain.
Why did yon wait, fair lady,
Through so many weary hour ?
Had you other lovers with you
In that silken, dainty bower ?
Did others bow before your charms
And Irvine bright garlands there?
And yet, | ween, in all that throng
| His spirit had no peer
| wish that you were by me now
| AS 1 draw the sheet aside,
10 see how pure the look he wore
| Awhile before he died.
Yet the sorrow that you gave him
Still has left its weary trace,
And a meek and sanity sadness
Dwells upon that pailid face.
"Her love-" he SAID, "would change
for me
+ The Winters cold to Spring.,
Alb ! thrust of thoughtless mai
denis love,
Thou art bitter thing!
or "hen these valleys fair in May,
Once more with blooms shall
wave,
The Northern violets shall blossom
Above his humble grave.
Your dole of scanty words had been
But one more pang to bear;
Tho to the last he kissed with love
This tress of your soft hair.
l did not put it where he said,
For, when the angels come,
l would not have them find the sign |
Of false hood on his tomb.
1've read your letter, and I know
The wiles that you have wrought
10 win that noble heart of his,
And gained it; fearful thought
What lavish wealth men some
times give
For trihe light and small;
What manly forms are often held
In folly's flimsy thrall.
You shall not pity him, for now
He's past your hope and fear;
Although l wish that you could
stand
With me beside bis bier.
Still, l forgive you; Heaven knows
For mercy you'll have need,
Since God His awful Judgment
sends
On each unworthy deed.
Tonight, the cold winter whis.
ties by,
AS l my vigils keep
Within the prison dead house, where
Few mourners come to weep.
A rude plank coffin holds him now,
Yet Death gives always grace 7;
And | had rather see him thus
Than clasped in your embrace.
Tonight, your rooms are very CAV.
With wit, and wine, end song
And you are smiling just as if
Yon never did a wrong.
Your hand so fair that none would s
think |,
1t penned these words of pain

TREASURES ESJoINED.-Judge Bond, Of the
United States Circuit Court. has entered decree
in five suits brought by taxpayers who have tend
cred coupons in payment of State taxes, perpet-
ually epjoining the defendant treasurers from
levying upon, selling or returning as delinquent
the property of complainants, or taking any other
steps to collect taxes. The lnsuficiency of tho
amount in these cases makes the DEGREES final, un-
less is made up, which, it is understood has
already been done, to carry the matter to the
United States Supreme Court. Judge Bonds de-
crees are claimed to be in exact accordance with
the decision of the Supreme Court in April in the
Virginia coupon cases. Their practical effect is
that tho taxpayer has only to tender tax-receiva-
bic coupons to a proper officer, and any proceed
ings thereafter to collect theta in money will be
perpetually enjoincd. Costs of about $50 were
awarded in each case against the treasurers, for
funding of which to them there is no provision
by State law. Judge Hughes, of the district
Court, has granted preliminary iDjunctions in
other and similar cases. The effect of The proceed
ings will be to embarrass the State seriously in
the collection of its revenue.

has appointed number of Presidential
postmasters, among them J. W. McMaster
at Hazelhurst, Copiah county, Miss, and
Thomas R. McDearman, at Danville, Va,
vice A. M. Wheeler, suspended. The post
master at Hazelhurst, Miss, was suspended
because having been asked to resign for rea-
sons affecting the public welfare not known
to the department at the time of his ap-
pointment, he declined compliance. The
postmaster at Danville, Va, was suspended
for partsanship.

Eight in q Court Room.

FORT WORTH, Tex, June 20.-A fight
occurred in the District court room last
night, which came near resulting fatally
The trial of young Stephens, charged with
the murder of DR.. Wallace, at Mansfield,
this county, had just opened, the entire day
having been spent in empannelling jury.
The attorneys were tired and petulant.
Henry Furman, the leading counsel for the
defense, became embroled in controversy
with County Attorney Bowlin, and they
finally came to blows. Everyone expected
to see double tragedy. The court room
was quickly emptied. Both men were un-
doubtedly armed, and each only waiting
for the other to draw. In the midst of this
Confusion Judge Beckman leaped from the
bench into the arena. As he did so Lawyer
Weare, who is associated with Bowlin in
the prosecution, excitedly struck the Judge
very severe blow under the ear. The
court was dazed for an instant, but, being a
powerful. man, Instantly recovered his
balance, and let fall sledge-hammer blow
that Frustrated Lawyer Weare. Turning his
attention to the principal combatants, who,
by this time, had clinched and were com
hitting mayhem upon one another's ears
and cheeks, the Judge commanded the Jury
to arise and quell the riot. At the same
time the court seized one Of the combatants
and two jurymen another, thus separating
them Furman and Bowlin were fined $50
each for contempt, after which the court
Immediately adjourned, as all the COM
batants were bleeding profusely. The court
did not tine Lawyer Weare. 1t is feared
the feeling engendered will yet result in
tragedy

Az AERONAUT,s FALL.

A great crowd Of people, composed not
only of the citizens of Charlestown, w. Va,
but from all around the country within ra-
dus of twenty miles, gathered at the open
ing performance Of Richards & Icons circus
yesterday afternoon. Before the circus per-
nance began there was number OF
sideshows to attract the curiosity and the
quarters of the country folk. The big bal
loon was the centre of attraction, and Will
liam Patterson, the handsome young aero
naut, in bis fancy dress, was watched atten-
lively by The crowd as he superintendent the
arrangements for his first ascension. He
was stropg looking, pucky young fellow,
and only smiled at the spectators when they
expressed their fear of going UP in bal
loon, and looked with awe upon one 80 dar-
lug. Finally, all was ready. The balloon
| was swelled out to its full capacity. The
aeronaut, with flag in his hand, leaped
lightly into the little basket, and with a
wave OF the flag gave the signal to let go.
Just as the ropes were cut, one OF the work
men accidentally overturned hot air stove
used in Initiating the balloon. Instantly
tiny flame and puff Of smoke appeared at
the bottom of the balloon as it shot upwards.
A cry of horror burst from the crowd. The
aeronaut had not at first noticed the acci-
dent He heard the shouts of the crowd.
The cry Of fire called his attention TO the
flame rapidly spreading towards the iutiat-
ed portion of the balloon. He was then
about one hundred feet in the air. He look
ed down and drouped his flag. The crowd
saw The look of terror that oyerspread his
face The men who had been initiating the
| tl,ar, hey 80 u
balloon had cansht fire, shouted to Pat
te,son to lump. But he had not at
first recognized the cry of alarm in
the shouts that attended the ascension.
The people below saw him hurriedly turn
around in the basket, and then reach out
with knife, "a though he would try and
cut away the burnt portion of the balloon,
but that was impossible. Then he appeared
as though he would jump. He hesitated,
looked down and wildly gesticulated. He
raised himself up and chung to the ropes
that held the basket. Just then cloud oil
smoke almost enveloped the balloon; it
gave Iurch and the next instant collapsed
at height of over three hundred feet.
Down shot the body Of the aeronant, swift
or than the upward flight of the balloon
| had been Over and over it turned, and
struck the ground and rebounded. The
body was picked up. Several of the muscles
twitched slightly, but life was extinct. 1t
was but few minutes from the time OF the
balloons flight to when the lifeless body OF
The young aeronaut was tenderly carried
into one of the tents. Men turned their
faces away in horror at the terrible specta-
Gle, and many women nearly tainted. The
balloon was totally consumed by the fire.
Patterson was twenty-five years old, and
resided at Wellsyille, Ohio. He had been
married about a year and half, and leaves
wife and infant child.

A gentleman, of this city, personally and
we'll acquainted with Secretary Lamar, de
cribes that gentleman as man of the warm
est aud most generous emotions, and says
that 10 speaking of the crowds of worthy
and deserving people who are applying to

he f.els like he is treadng upon bleeding

remarked that the Secretary might soon
make these bleeding hearts happy by doing
what the new administration was elected
to do-"turn the rascals out"-and put the
people whose bosoms contained the bleeding
hearts in their places.
Private intelligence from New York is to
the effect that Col. A. w. Jones, General
Mahore's candidate for Che Virginia Senate
against Gen. Wickham, but whose relations
with the General since then have been by
no means as cordial as they were before,
has within short time past by successful

large sum of money, probably as much as
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
aome of which may have been made by the

A BODY HELD FOR FUNERAL EXPENSES.
Mrs. Norah Lally complained at sanitary
headquarters in New York yesterday that
undertaken Charles J. Coote was holding
the body of her brother-in law for debt, and
refused to surrender it for burial The dead
man is Benjamin Lundgren. a Swede, who
for years was nurse in Seaman's Retreat,
on Staten Island, and lately steward in II
hotel there. Two months ago he came to
New York with his wife and only child.
His wife fell i'll, then his child, and within
three weeks both died Undertaken Coote
buried both, and his bill was paid with the
exception of $40, Lundgrens funds having
run out. Wife and child were scarcely un-
der ground before the Swede himself lay
down on his death bed. No one of the
family being left to nurse him through his
illness, he was admitted to Bellevue Hos
pital and died there Wednesday. Mrs. Lal-
ly undertook to bury him in Calvary Gene
terry, and by her authority undertaken
Coote obtained burial permit. The
funeral was to take place yesterday, but
Coote refused to let it go on before the SO
yet due on the old bill for burying Mrs.
Lundgren and the child was paid. Mrs
Lally could not do this; but the underta-
ker, having ascertained by inquiries on
Staten Island that there was no money due
the dead man there, persisted in his demand
and refused to hand over the burial permit
to another undertaken. In her dilemma
Mrs. Lally appealed to DR.. Nagle, who is
sued peremptory orders to Coote to surren-
der the funeral permit.
