The second number of the b. b. b.
has appeared. and, as usual with
affairs Of that kind, begins by saying
some smart things about the HERALD.
One of its paragraphs is as follows:
The gentle, genial genius OF the bril-
liantly luminous HERALD is given as au-
thorily for the statement that he can
write oil around us. Bless his dear un-
sophisticated understanding Of course he
could-if we stood still long enough or If
we could progress like a crab, backward
to where he stands.
Now the fact is that "The gentle.
genial genius of the brilliantly lumin-
Gus HERALD has had nothing what
ever to say concerning the b. b. b. or
any of its attaches. Those who best
know 1.-The &. &. g." etc, know that
he is incapable of making any such
pltiful statements as the b. y. b.
accredits him with, and "The e. e.
g." etc, doesn't believe that anyone
ever said such Il thing to the Is. h. b.
Once for all, however, "The z. z. e.. -
etc, desires to have il understood
that he has matters of much more i'm.
portance TO attend to, than the
refutat.on Of nasty little personal lies.

The death of a. Miner Griswold Of
Texas Siftings, has set numerous
newspapers to printing things
about humor and concern
ing the coteIie Of humoriSts,
Hank FaXon. Charles Browne, T"Arte-

Miner GriSwold ["The Fat Contribu-
tor was member 30 years. and
more ago. All these and many who
have succeeded them were true hui
moriStS because they were also men
Of tenderness and easily touched
with pathos. Men without the latter
characteristic are never true hui
morists. Though some Of them may
make a laugh by literary horse play
just as poor comedian sometimes,
before low audience. causes his
crowd to laugh by stumbling over
chair or by making grmaces.
It's true that once in n while there
springs up coarse, unfeeling Jester
and Literary mountebank. who is mis-
takenly called, by some. a humorist,
because he says things which make
many Of his readers laugh. but, when
he is aSsaycd, he is found to run high
in vulgarity and very low in anything
commcndable, and that he has only
said some mean and heartless things
about those who may possibly have
! deserved them, and you slap him
heartily on the back. and feel toward
him as that lady did toward man
who was swearing at a train which
both had missed. He has been doing
dirty work which you would prefer to
have some one else do for you, and he
has done it better than you could be-
cause he is used TO it. but that sort Of
humor will not stand the test Of time
beyond the occasion which brought it
forth. Such man may be a coarse Wit
and smart and. sharp in his way, but he
is not humorist. HumOr is gentle and
kind, and broad and liberal. and it is

blend together like the tints Of the
rainbow and so impcrceptibly that
often you find yourself smiling through

the man who weeps, when affected by
that which is pathetic and when tears
should come by sympathy. He is the
good Samaritan who dresses your
wounds and pOurs healing balm upon
them, while the naughty priest and
the Leyite pass by on the other side.
OF course there is not always pathos
in all humOr, but the men who write
humor are always tender-hearted and

LAWRENCE BARRETT

LAWRENCE BARRETT
Lawrence Barrett, the actor. died at
the Windsor Hotel, New York, last
Friday Of pneumonia. Mr. Barrett
was a striking Illustration of what
Unborn talent, with close application
and hard work, win generally do for
those who take full care Of such adj
vantages. Barrett'S real name was
Lawrence Brannagan, and he assumed
BARRETT as a stage name, more ap-
propri1te for his adopted calling Of a
tragediau. He began work on the
stage, when a boy, in Detroit as an
assistant in scene-Shifting, etc. The
time came when he was allowed to
take speaking part" in play, and
his advancement from that time to
the very acme Of histrionic fame was
remarkably rapid With his growth
in his profession, his love of letters in
creased until he became quite a
learned man, especially in the history
and traditions Of the drama. and on
such subjects, especially, he became a
graceful writer. His first appearance
as star" was in 1864, in "ROSedale
or the Rife Ball, which he purchased
from Lester Wallack, and which he
made famous 10y his PRESERVATION Of
Elliott Gray, the commander Of a mil
itary company. That play contains,
what actors generally concede to be
one of the most beautiful and striking
tableauX, or curtain pictures. known
TO the stage. 1t is entitled up
Lancers."
Mr.. Barrett, however, was distin-
guished actor long before he became
star, and played in leading parts
with the Booths, Charlotte Cushman,
Barry Sullivan. Edwin Forrest, and
other great actors early in his career.
He was also remarkably successful as
theatrical manager.
Lawrence Barrett attained great
wealth and fame through his art and
his literature, and he attained a very
high social position. His greatest
fault was a degree Of arrogance toward
his fellow-actors in humber circum-
stances. which frequently caused many
of them to revert to his own humble
origin. That one, who by brilliant
ability and application, should gain
success and be proud of it, is natural
and right, and that he should hold
himself above all that tends to de-
grade. is 10 be commended, but
honest worth in any respectable call
ing should ever be acknowledged, en-
couragcd aud never treated with con-
tumely. 1t was said Of Barrett that
he frequently remarked that he en-
ployed his actors Just as he did his
gardener, and implied that he had no
more social use for them, than for his
menials; that his path and theirs
diverged when they left the stage.
This might have been proper enough
with the majority of his people, " but
he frequently had members in his COM
panies who were his superiors in breed
ing, education, and general intelli-
gence. and such he was not warranted
in holding at such lengths. for had he
received the same treatment from his
superiors early in life his ascent would
not have been so swift nor his career
so brilliant.
Lawrence Barrett will be remem-
bered by the public as great actor,
and by the society in which he moved
as an elegant gentleman. BY many
actors, who at one time or another.
were associated with him. he will be
remembered as having been unneccs-
sarily naughty and exclusive.
