AS the Captains audience, the re,
porter cheered heartily, and Endorsed
the sentiment, but he had not ex,
hausted his various accomplishments
for entertaining, which probably
accounts for his popularity,
and in the dialect of the old planta-
ton darkey he sang two comic songs
which brought down the house (the
reporter) and wound up with Il
hearty laugh, in which the reporter
joined in person-he in the abstract
and cherry good bye, hoping
that we would meet again.
The reporter started to leave but
catching the sound of music, he set
tied down again with determination
that he would hear that, if the
printers never got copy, and for some
time he drank in the sweet strains
which poured forth as clear and
sweet as when the famous 9Th Regi
ment band of New York played it
two years ago.
Following the music was the ia
miliar voice of a negro talking to 6
mule in their inimitable and always
amusing style. But the reporter
was obliged to leave, though ii
seemed discourteous while the ma.
chine was still running, but being
nsed to a class who never know when
they said enough, he tore loose
without feeling very bad about it.

men are bored by the curious who
go there to hear it, they car

that the visitor will leave.
