in touch with him. 1t was soon dis
covered that he was immensely am
used by the stern mannerisms of his
colleague Sldell Occasionally he
would stir Slidell up to irritation so
that he might enjoy the spectacle.
Captain Fox, the assistant secre-
tary of the navy, told me that when
the order came for the release of
Mason and Slidell and the delivery
of them to a British vessel which
was waiting for them near Province
town, Massachusetts. Slidell refused
to bulge an inch. He said they had
taken him there by force and they
would have to take him out by force.
Mason stood by, with difficulty sup
pressing his sense of Righteousness
of SlidelPs attitude. He caught Fox
looking at him and he slyly winked
SO that he might thereby convey to
Captain Fox his sense of the humor
of the situation.
"But it was when they were cross
ing Massachusetts bay in q little
steam boat in a high sea and heavy
wind that Mason's sense got the best
of him. Poor Slidell lay on his bunk
grooming with seasickness. He was
in despair and minated that he
would be pleased if they would throw
him into the sea.
mason nlnSelI was not very sea-
sick, but he attributed his immunity
to his sense of the ridiculous and
grotesquely pitiful appearance of his
colleague as he lay grooming with
the fortunes of his nausea, and es-
pecially at such times as he yielded
| to it.
$50 when Mason boarded the Brit
| ish vessel the officers perceived that
he was in excellent good humor. al
though they were practically carry
ing the almost PROSTATE Slidell from
the little steamboat to the deck of
the British vessel.
Now, / should have said that the
New Yorker would have had the
sense of humor and that the Vir-
ginian would have stood upon his
dignity. But the reverse was the
| case. Those who knew Senator
! Mason well told me that in his per-
sonality, his cordiality, his open
mindedness and his kindness of heart
| he was one of the most lovabie OF
men,"

che Crue Cest

You can laugh at the world-its funny old world
You can laugh at the people you meet,
You can laugh at the antics you see on the stage
You can laugh at the folks on the street,
You can laugh at the one who is fusslng ABOUT
Or the one who is taking rest
But with all of the topics that merriment make
Can you laugh at yourself? That's the test
Imagine yourself about twenty feet of
lust taking quizzica look
And seeing yourself as the others would see,
AS you would appear in a book
Observe how you sit, how you stand, how you snie'
And how at the table you eat
You'll seem quite queer to YOURSELF am sure
As half OF the people you meet
And why are you not, may ask if you please
Legitimate subject for mirth?
You may be as funny in manner and speech
AS any one else the earth.
Give others rest, for some people object
II over their faings you SMILE
And here is a subject you need not Offend
So laugh at yourself for awhile.

you may remember what ire
mendous excitement the removal Of
Mason and Slidell from the British
steamer and their subsequent impris-
onment in Fort Warren, Boston,
caused. There was for a time the
gravest danger that we might be in
volved in a war with Great Britain
on account of that accident.
THE difficulty was happily ended,
partly through the kindly offices of
Queen Victoria and her husband. the
prince consort. and partly through the
tactful disposition of the case which
was made by President Lincoln and
my father.
"All this, however, is matter of
history. Every schoolboy has heard
of it.
But what always interested me
particularly in the case, especially
after Mason and Slidell were turned
over to the British government, was
the remarkable difference of person.
atty between the two mn.
John Slidell was a Northern man,
a native of New York State, and my
father knew well some Of those who
were near of kin to him. He went
from New York in early manhood to
Louisiana and there gained great in
fiuence- both as a lawyer and as a
Democratic politician. / suppose
there was not a more intensely de-
voted and Jealous supporter of Sc
cession and the establishment of the
Confederate government than John
Slidell was.
HE was a very stern man. 1t was
said of him that he thought it be-
meath his dignity to smile. He looked
upon life very seriously and he
thought his own dignity was the most
serious thing in life.
mason, on the other hand, was a
native of Virginia and was one of
the jolliest and gentlest of men. He
wouldn't hurt a fly. He was full of
fun and he had very keen sense
of humor He was a large consumer
of tobacco and was not always care
fut about the direction in which .he
expectorated it SO that it frequently
happened that his linen was spotted
with tobacco juice. He was confined
with Slidell in Fort Warren, but he
had not been in the fort an hour be-
fore he captured by his kindly good
nature every one who was brought

but with no one to guide it, ran wild
ten miles yesterday over the Della

tracks from Norwich to Oxford, and
near the latter station crashed into

A Return to the PaImy Days.

A Return to the Palmy Days.
From the New York Sun.
There is every reason to hope that
form three stock companies in New
York. Boston and Philadelphia really
means to carry out the attractive
artistic experiment which his his
torian has just given to the world.
We hear much of the advantages
to be derived from the stock com
panies. They are now frequently just
the places in which actors may ac-
quire what will be worst for them in
the exercise of their profession. But
that is the sort of stock company
which has brought the old term into
disrepute. The stock companies prom
ised by this enterprising Western
impresario are not to be of this kind.
They will be true to the best tradi-
tions of the famous old theatres in
New York.
1t is commonly thought that the
stock company is the best school pos
sible to the actor. The lack of any,
thing like distinguished ability among
the actors of the day is in large de-
gree due to the necessity which COM
kind of part in which they have once
been seen successfully. Another prac-
tise deadly to the growth of the play
er's skill is the habit of selecting the
men and women that look like the
characters they are supposed to rep
resent. It used to be regarded as the
greatest evidence of an actors ability
that he could play role with suc-
cess whether he looked like the man
or not Now actors are selected for
a qualification for which they de-
serve not the least credit-that they
happen to look like n character. Re-
semblance, it is useless to say, in the
case of the actress is taken to reside
altogether in their beauty.
But the qualifications for success
in a stock company are different.
Actors must learn to play all sorts
of parts. Nor are they allowed to act
one for long time without the OPP
portunity for further variety than
the present system of long runs al
lows. In every way there is oppor-
tunity for the artistic improvements
of the art of the actor by the return
to stock companies of the highest
class.
Whether or not the public will look
upon the scheme with the same in
terest it arouses in lovers of the
theatre is not so certain. Recent eff
forts to found a stock company in this
CITY were not successful.
