Xpw Yorg, Oct. 18.—When Mr. John Hab- ‘derton wrote “Helen’s Babies™ he assuredly had no idea those astounding infants were des- tined to appear in burnt-cork burlesque. Or, if he bad, he must have injured bis sides with Jaugbter, and paused before he seut his MS. to the printer. The only curious thing about the minstrel sketeh is that Messrs. Birch and Backus @id vot think of it before. The amusing thing about it is the whole of it. Imagine what bouncing boys these inimitable “end-men® transform thewselvesinto! Budyie, otherwise Backus, is done up in broyn, with chilahooa's frock aud childhood’s straw hat,— the latter 2 speck of white aud blue set upona mass of blackest wool. Tvadie, otherwise Birch, is favored with cardinal stockigs and short linen trousers, and stufled till Dickens’ fat boy would be hid behind him. On blis head, or ratber on the edge of one side of bis head, is perched oue of those minfature high hats which are to be seen in show-windows, aud which may apprepriately pass s baby beavers. “fhere is no question, When once these 200- pound children umbied out before the tootlights, that Mr. Durton is 1o have his good nature tried and his constitution ruined, to say pothing of the destruction about 1o fail upon his furbiture and personul property.
