PASSING OF NEGRO
MINISTRELSY.

Brander Matthews in Scrioner
Mapazine contributes an interesting
article on the passing of negro MN
strelsy, which at one time had such a
hold upon the United States where
it was indigenous. Negro minstrelsy
was the conception of E. F. DiXey IN
the early ffties, and from that time
IN to about quarter of century
ago it was one of the most popular
of all amusements in this country.
Troupes travelled from city to city,
which were greatly patronized, while
in the larger cities nightly per-
formances were given. The Bryant
brothers, Matt Peel, Buckley brothers,
the Dixies, Dan Emmett, the Sweeney
brothers, and others are remembered
by many now living.
Attempts were made to transplant
negro minstrelsy into other countries.
but the profession proved sickly
exotic and would never thrive save
in the United States, and especially
in the southern section.
The origin of "Dixie," has Of
zen been published. Dan Emmett,
who was violinist in minstrel
troupe in years anterior to the Till
war, was watching negroes load cot
ton on a shin at Mobile. They were
singing an ode in which there was
little sense. but Emmett's musical
ear caught music in the song. He
wrote "DiXie." and today its notes
will entrance southern audience as
no other tune.
Joe Sweeney, one of the best delin-
Gators of the negro character, was
well-known to many Alexandrians,
especially to those who served in the
Confederate army. Sweeney was
down south during the war. and he
often gave specimens of his skill as
a banjo-picker during camp life.
But negro minstrelsy is now vir-
tually thing of the past. The semi
circle of white men attired in dress
suits with their faces smeared with
burnt cork, an interlocutor in the
centre and the iuggler Of the tambo-
rine and the RATHER Of bones on each
end, are memories of the past. Nov,
ing pictures and other forms OF
amusement of the present age are
singing the funeral dirge of the ne
gro. delineator.
