Some of the ‘worst are directly attributable to defects in the ra ‘which, \t is pretended by tbe managers of the companies, @amnct be cected or guarded against.

THE AFRICAN OPERA. a What They Are—Their Salariesand Duties— Ethiopian Mimstrelsy and Buraed Cork—Glimpses Ben: the Scenes, &co ‘There are now in this city three places of amusement @evoted entirely and exclusively to wegro mlostrelsy. In Philadephia there are two; and Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati and other cities own their respective colored opera houses’? The New York honsos—Wood’s and Bryant’s in Broad- way, and Camppeil’s in the Bewery—are all at- tended, night after night, by crowded and de. Nghted audiences. kverybody has been to the min- strels, and everybody expects to go again. ‘In fact, Etbiopian minstrelsy may fairly be. called national amusement. Opera, drama, prestidigitation, con- certe, balls, and every other epecies of entertalament which caters to the amusement of our citizens is import- ed, but negro minstreisy is indigenous, and purely Amor- ‘oan, There are cbout twenty travelling companies of minstrels in the U sited States and three or four in Eng- land, where the entertainment is becoming very popular. In Liverpoot it is already a permanent institutlon—a band of eo-called ““Christy’s Minstrels’ playing there nightly, THE NEW YORK HOUSES.

This olio is further varied by ances, and an ocoasional sentimental baliad or Operatic aria of & more elaborate class than that asually termed ‘negro melodies.” The programme always ends with a plantation breakdown—generally « pretty fair re- presentation of a dauce amoog the Southero slaves. In this the whole company participates, amd the curtain faite while the dance w actively procseding, ieaving the ‘visitors to imagine that dancing ‘breakdowns is the oor mal condition ui uesro minstiedd, THE MUSIC.

Espocially is this the case since the breaking out cf the wer. In these baliads the soldier, dyiug on the battle tieid, always expires with bis mother’s name upon bis lips—a boautifui tribute to thet affection which always laste the longest. ‘‘Take a Letter to My Moiner,’” “Who Will Care for Mother Now? ‘Mother. I've Come Home to Dio! are examples of this teddency, Almost all the favorite negro meiodies are followed oy a chorus, simple im itself, but rendered effective by the atteation which a good band of miustroia always pays to dynamic expression, The repetition of the chorus sotto voce and without accompaniment, is one of tue surest pians to win the appiause of the audionce, Of inte years tbe minstrels employ a more elaborate class of wask than during tbe earlier days of the profession. THE PERFORMEKS. People who go to the minstrele often wonder who they e. Where do these mea come from wh» thus blacken their facct and appear nightly before the public as no groes? They aro gathered from every branch of trado and commerce. Clerks, mechanics out of situations, music teachers who cannot get ony sepolare, aud young men who have good voices aad but Little else are incladed io their ranks, it is by 00 means @ bad school for these latter, for they, at least, Jearn punctuality and attention to their duties Mauy of our best singore—Castle, Campbell, Goary, J. R. Thomas and otherd—are all graduates of this coliege of burned cork, PROFESSIONAL COURTESIRS. When a negro minstrel learns and sings eny particular ballad tt becomes, as far ax that troupe is concerned, his special property, and no other member of the =a ‘will attempt to sing ft. All minstrels, just like actors, are anxtous for applruse, and are annoyed and disappointed If they ao not get it. Not only does the sabie warbler of sentimenta! ballads yearo for « bearty recognition of his efforts, but even the ‘end man,” who is never eupposed to do anything that fs not funny, is quite burt if uis buifo sang does aot re. ceive an encore. The drol! stories or ‘‘gags’’ that the end men tel) between the songe depend for success en. tirely upon the humor orevea the temporary state of miod of the relator. A ridiculous anecdote will one night convalse the house with Inugfiter, and perhaps the next evening, because {t is told with less gusto and spirit, ‘will fall dead upon the audience. Old gags are kept up for years, omi the standard jokes sre repeated, ov ao average, once io three weeks. The end men cherish their special gags with the fondest care, and are very in- dignant {f any one else should uee them. {tis the same their songs. These gage aro obtained in vi ways, They are sometimes written by the “end men” but generally by the ‘‘middie men,’ that person! tcation of gentitmanly dignity, that oracle of correct graramar wh always sits in the centre of the company and asks the questions which enable the “end men’? to make their funny replies. Not unirequently tho gags are yours old, They are repeated about once overy three weeks; aud as before said, the end men cherishes his favorite “gags"’ as foud.y as the tenor winger cherishes bis pet songs.

Indeed, many miustreis are literally oo musicians at all, Their sougs are taughi to thom by rote. The better musicians among them are engaged on Sundays in our various church choirs, and the most devout cong! tons of New York and Brooklyn listen at tneir Sabbath services to the same voices which, at the miu- strel balls, on week day evenings,warble “ Jennie June,” ‘or make the popular voca) request to ‘* Sally” to * come up,” or “Sally come down.” Two-thirds of the mio- strels, however, cannot read at sight the most ordinary music, ‘THE END MEN. ‘Woe have often alluded to the end men in the course of this article. They are usually gay, cheerful fellows, though a few of them, when off the stage, are as sedate and solemn as Connecticut parsons. Some of them aro noted chiefly for theirspower of grimace, for distorting the mouth, or opening it to a prodigious width; ethers can affect the most utterly idiotic expression which it is possible for the human countenance to assume, and which is far more provocative of mirth than the most extravagant-movements of the facial monscles, In the burlesque plays these men wear old coats which are careful studies in the art of dilapidation These grotesque garments, as indeed all ofbers, ineiod ing the conventional evening dress suit, are provided by the minstrels themselves and not by the management, cong. Cork is indispensable to negro minstreisy. Some time ago @ company aitempted to give the usual programme in white faces, but the public carefully abstained from attending until the black hue was assumed. Tuis cork ig provided tn the shape of a pulverized powder, usually prepared expressly for the purpose. The minstrel places a little of it in one hand, drops some water in it and then, rubbing the hands together, reduces it to @ watery paste, with which the face and neck is washed, and the ‘‘corking” is thus compte! This pulverized cork is not gritty like charcoal, nor ia it greasy io its nature; on the conirary, it fecls rather pleasant, and the fact that it covers the face is soon (or- gotten by the wearer, It also acts ag a preservative of the complexion rather than burting it; and fewer men have faces (reor from pimples, tam or cutaneous disease, than the negro minstreis. At the game time most of these same minstrels hate -Aabominate cork. Some apply it night after nignt With [etme 2 tai ~nmitizated and increasing loath! whnlo others, but only ® small migoriy, ute oo diferent about it, and uae it without any aporial feciing of distaste, THE REHEARSALS, The minstrels rehearse four or five times a week,. usually inthe morning. Lf absent they pay a forfeit, but they are, as @ class, very punctual, If late or mt from an evening performance they have to pay mouey fine. The middie-man or interlocutor, is the stage mana. ger, and mckes out the programmes, but each slo ainger selects his own ballads. Composers often send their bailxds tn manuscript to popular minstrols, know. ing that If sung a week of go, the sale of the composition when publisned ts pretty sure to be largely inereased, FINAL RRMARKS, There are probably over five hundred men constantly engaged in the miustrel profersion in this country.
