 The essential traditions of negro min- strelsy are unbroken, and that is the req son why it survives. But some of the ad- juncts of the minstrel show of the pres They get in the way Of ones enjoyment of the real thing. They have the effect of the three rings in the circus; they give us much to look at that we scarcely see anything at all,
 The old-fashoned minstrel show, was the best. The curtain rose upon a semi circle of fifteen or twenty colored gentle man in solemn black relieved by an oc- casional gorgeously figured waistcoat or flaming cravat The attire of the per formers reflected real old-fashioned gen. tility, somewhat modified by the warm imagination of Africa. A delightful so- lemnty overspread the sable group. The middleman, sententious, elegant, engaged the endmen in a conversation which was productive of infinite merriment. If the jokes were frequently ancient, they laid hold upon the very foundations of humor. The songs were rolicking or sentimental The dances were dances that might be danced by human being. The second part was made up of comcal acts which did not attempt to rival the elaboration of ballet at the opera. Everything was personal direct, spontaneous.

 HE quality of true humor, of natural
 fun, is not strained. It comes easily.
 It bubbles out of the human heart, a spontaneous product of the joy of life and the saving salt of the sense of the ridiculous. It has no malice in 1t. It IS not intended to put any one at disad- vantage, or make anybody unhappy. Some of the funny people that we have had on the stage do make people unhap- py. Offense Is in their essential nature. For that reason they tend to disappear. That fierce and false caricature, the stage Irishman. Is fading away. The demand for him is past. The stage Hebrew is worse than the stage Irishman. Repre- senting prejudice, he deserves to go, and will go. In the world of humor only that which possesses the excellence Of geniality Is permanent.
 That Is the reason why, amid the changing scenes of an interested or manufactured buffoonery, the negro min strel is eternal. He Is about the only pure comic that America has produced the only funny being in whose compost ton no malice is mixed. He came into existence in a day of fearful storm and stress, when mighty battles were gather ing around the head of the devoted black onan; but even then there was not drop 0 che poison of controversy In his beam
