PUNCH AND JUDY.
The Origin Of This Ever Popular English
EntertninnCnt.

The Origin Of This Ever Popular English
Entertniulncnt.
Generations of children have found
pleasure in witnessing the antics Of
Punch and Judy, and after nearly
century of popularity the mimic thea-
ter in which their adventures are dis
played still gives amusement to both
young and old. The origin Of this al
ways attractive entertainment is not
English, as many who have enjoyed it
may suppose; but according to an cid
book, Punch and Judy are OF Italian
ancestry. In the district Of Acezza, near
Naples, the people are very much al.
dictcd to tho making Of wine from
grapes. and it is curious that from an
tiquity they have been famous for their
love of droll wit and comic fun.
Many years ago, in the season Of the
vintage. which is time when every
body seens to be full Of fun and frolic,
some comic players came along through
Acezza. They began to poke fun at the
yintage1s. and in the war Of wit the
players got the worst Of it.
Now, there was among the vintugers
fellow with an enormous red nose,
long and crooked like powder horn,
aud he was the very drollest and With
est of the whole company Tho players
we're 80 ticklcd with his witty Fayiuga,
all set off by his odd faco and voTy
queer air and manner, that they almost
went into Mysteries with laughter.
After they went away they began TO
think that this drOll fellow would bo a
great accession 10 their company; so
they went back and made offers TO linn
These he accepted, and such was tie
success OF his efforts that tho company
acquired great fame ard u great deal Of
money. Everybody went to see this
witty buftcon, and all woro delighted.
This example led to tho establish.

DEMOCRATIC CHICANERY.

The latest Democratic trick is to have
the next Legislature, which is controlled
by them, to abolish the office of Receiver
Of Taxes and appoint collectors for each
hundred, being the same system that was
in operation before Receiver Dickey was
appointed by that non-partisan body.
Such vjllainy and political chicanery
should be exposed and receive the con-
demnation of every honest man, irrespec-
tive Of politics. If, after warning they
persist in their thievery, ever one of them
should be ostracised and driven from the
State.
