Conant, we take the following account of the origin of the famous puppet show: One pleasant summer day, a few years ago, the writer of this article was standing with an officer of the Bavarian army in the OJeon Platz, at Munich, watching the entertaining performance ' of Punch and Judy. At the most thrilling moment of the mimic tragedy a slight movement among the spectators caused us both to look round; and to my amusement, and my military friend's dismay, we encountered the kindly eyes of old King Louis. Noticing the officer's confusion at being caught amusing himself in this rather unfashionable manner, the genial old gentle man pleasantly bade him be at ease. "You need not feel ashamed to be seen here, llerr Lieutenant," said he; "I often 6top myself to see the performance, and find it very amusing." He remained a few moments, laugh ing like the rest of the crowd at the droll mimicry of life exhibited in the little play bouse, and then, with a pleasant smile and word, withdrew. The incident was charac teristic of the man and the people. While he btood there no one took more notice of him than if he had been a private gentleman. There was none of the rude staring to which persons of exalted rank are always subjected by Englishmen and Americans. Every one quietly attended to the play until the King took his leave, when those immediately about him raised their hats with every mark of that esteem and affection which even his unfor tunate infatuation for Lola Montez could not eradicate from the hearts of -the Bavarian people. The performance which old King Louis found so aiimsing has not been nationalized in this country. It was exhibited for a short time at a popular plaoe of amusement in this city about a year ago, but did not take suffi ciently with the audience to induce the manager to go on with it. It was considered silly and Btnpid; and yet, as we shall show, with the assistance of Mr. Cruikshank's ad mirable illustrations, it may be made the medium of the most amusing whimsicalities. In Europe its popularity is unbounded. Even royalty, as just related, unbends to enjoy it; and we are told that so grave and dignified a personage as an English Secretary of State is certain to be, once paused on his way from Downing street to the House of Com mons, on a night of important debate, to wit ness the whole performance. To Acerra, an ancient Italian city, in the neighborhood of Naples, belongs the high honor of being the birth place of Mr. Punch, whose family name is thought to have been Pulcinella. The date of his birth is differently stated by au thors who have incidentally mentioned him. The most particular statements in regard to this important event are made by Giintna, who in his "Italia Letterata" says: "Silvio Fiorillo, comedian, who procured himself to be called the Captain Matamoros, invented the Neapolitan Pulcinella; tto which Andrea Calcese, who had the surname of Cine cio, by study and natural grace added much. Calcese was a tailor, and died in the plague of the year 1056; he imitated the peasauts of Acerra, a very ancient city of Terra di Lavoro, not far from Naples." Signorelli, in his his tory of the stage, expressly calls Punch un Ivffone deW Acerra; and of the Neapolitans in general he remarks that, "from a certain national vivacity and disposition, they have been at all times distinguished for their talent in imitating the ridiculous on their stages." Hence more than one of the amusing per sonages in their impromptu comedies have had their origin in that lively and luxurious capital. In order to give a notion of the species of dramatic- entertainment in which these various characters, and among them Pulcinella, were engaged, a further snort quotation from Sig noreUi's work will be useful: he is referring to the state of the Italian comedy in the be ginning of the seventeenth century. "In general," he says, "the publio comedians tra velled over Italy, representing certain thea trical performances called comedies of art, in contradistinction to comedies of learning, recited in the academies and in private dwell ings by well-bred actors for their pleasure and exercise. The plot of the fables was xoted down, as well as the substance and dis tribution ef each scene, while the dia logue was left to the will of the representors. Such histrionio farces con tained various trivial buffooneries, aad different masks were employed in them." These performances, in which the actor wa? left to his own talents and discretion in fur nishing the dialogue, were once extremely popular throughout Italy; buj from the very nature of the representation it unluckily hap pens that not a single specimen has been banded down to our time. We take it for granted that Silvio Fiorillo invented Pulcinella, and first introduced hiia as a variety in the list of buffoons required to represent the impromptu comedies of Naples; but although he may date his sepa rate existence from about the year 1000, it is a matter of much doubt whether he was not, in fact, only a branch of a family of far greater antiquity. The disoovery in the year 1727 of a bronze statue of a mime, called by the Romans Maccus, has indeed left si:m antiquaries to the jconclusion that he wad, ia fact, Puloinella under a different name, bat with the same attributes, and among them a humpback and a large nose. Bit that th figure was meant for Maocus at all seejis mere speculation, and that Pulcinella an 1 Maocus had anything In common but bump and nose ia at least m questionable. The Yioe, as he was calleJ, of lLe ancient Moralities was common, we ap prehend, to the early theatrical represents- ! tions of most countries; his business was to relieve the weightier part of the perform ance by his ridiculous aotions, jests, and buffooneries. He was unquestionably the original of the Clown, or Fool, of the old English drama; and we think that the con jecture is at least plausible that he was the original also of Harlequin and his near rela tive, Pulcinella. The chief appendage of the Vice was a gilt wooden sword, and this also belonged to the old Clown, or Fool, in all na tions. Rabelais, speaking of certain presents made by Panurge to the fool Triboullet, says: "Tannrge, on bis arrival, gave him a pig's bladder, well inflated, and resounding by reason of the pease that were within it; more over, a wooden sword, well gilt; moreover, a small pouch, made of a shell of a tortoise." Those who consult Mr. Donee's essay on the "Clowns and Fools of Shakespeare," will find that the bladder at the end of a stick, the gilt wooden sword, and the pouch, or budget, formed part of the equipment of that per sonage in England. The wooden sword directly conneot Harle quin with the ancient Vice and mere modern Fool, although we have now enjoined him to eilence, and have converted the instrument with which of old he cudgeled the devil into a talisman to raise him. Concluding, then, that Punch is one of the familia Jlanequini, and that their common parent was the Vice of the old Moralities, the question arises to what ciroumstance he owes the deformity of his figure, and why his nose, by its length, is rendered so obtrusive a fea ture. We can only answer that it pleased his inventor, Silvio Fiorillo, to make him so; and perhaps he did it in some degree with a view of rendering him more ridiculous, and to dis tinguish him more effectually from other cha racters of not dissimilar habits and propensi ties in the impromptu comedies. One strik ing characteristic of Punch is his amorous inclination ; and it is generally supposed that individuals with the personal defect for which he is re markable are peculiarly "given to the femi-' nines." According to Quadrio, in his "Sloria d'ogni Poesia," the name of onr hero has re lation to the length of his nose; he would spell it rullicinello, from Pulliceno, whioh Mr. Disraeli translates "turkey-cock," an allusion to the beak of that bird. Baretti has it Pulcinella, because that word in Italian means a hen-chicken, whose cry the voice of Punch is said to resemble. Pol licinello, as it has also been written, in its etymology from pollice, "the thumb," goes upon the mistaken presumption that his size was always diminutive. The French Ponche has been fancifully derived from no less a personage than Pontius Pilate of the old Mysteries, whom, in barbarous times, the Christians wished to abuse and ridicule. If we cannot settle the disputed point, it is very evident that in future in genuity and learning will be thrown away in attempting further elucidation. At what time and in what country Punch became a mere puppet as well as a living performer we have no distinct information; but it is to be inferred, perhaps, that the transmigration fir&t took place in the land of his birth, and after his popularity had been fully established. The pleasure derived by the lower orders from his performances might lead to the imitation of his manners end actions in little, in the same way that the most applauded representations of the English stage, in the reigns of Eliza beth and James, were very soon made the subjects of "motions" or puppet-plays. One man could thus, by a little jngennity aad at a very cheap rate, represent half a dozen or more characters, and the delusion was aided by the peculiar voice given to Punch by arti ficial means. Ere long he became the hero of the exhibition; and other characters, such as Harlequin and Scaramouch, by degrees sunk into insignificance. The dialogue of the plays in which Pulci nella originally performed in the early days of his existence can hot now be distinctly as certained. As already mentioned, only the general outlines of the farces performed by the early itinerant comedians were noted down, while the dialogue was always impro vised; but it is probable that actors of this class, accustomed repeatedly to perform to gether, would ere long come to a perfect uu derstanding with each other, and the interlo cutions thus acquire a certain degree of per manence, until some change took place in the company. At different places the same plot would be represented, and of course the same dialogue would be sufficient as far as it could be remembered. No doubt the dramas consisted of "gross buffooneries," because the actors were buffoone; but there was room for the display of ready talent; and if a few of the pieces had been left upon re cord, we sheuld most likely have found that they had something else to recommend them besides the coarseness of their jokes, de livered in the dialect of Italy peculiar to each of the characters. Maay distinguished authors who lived about the opening of the last century were not ashamed to be known as the writers of puppet-plays. It is well known how popular this Bpecies of entertainment was, and still is. in Germany; and its dignity will receive a considerable accession from the fact that the greatest poet of that country, Goethe, did not scruple to write one on the sacred story of XiSther and Anasucrus. lie calls it "Neue roii'netes moralisch-politisches Puppenspjel;" and "Uanns Wurst," or Jack Pudding, is employed to amuse the spectators between the acts.

Lt. uut-n. From tho article entitled "The Wonders of .the Yellowstone," wLi-jh gives a glimpie of a grtat region about to be opened to oiviluv Hon by the Northern Pacifio Railroad, we take tie following: After travelling six miles over the moun tains above the canon, we again descended into a broad and open valley, skirted by a level nplund for several miles. Here an ob ject mtt our ttteution which deserves more than a casual notice. It was two parallel ver- oi a monntam to the Height of 125 feet, tra versing the mountain from base to summit, a distance of 1500 feet. These walls were not to exceed thirty feet in width, and their tops for the whole length were crowned with a growth of pines. The sides were as even as if they had been worked by line and plumb the whole space between, and on either side of them, having been completely eroded and washed away. We had seen many of the capricious worKS wrougnt by erosion upon tne friable rocks of Montana, but never before upon so majestio a scale. Here an en tire mountain-side, by wind and water, had been removed, leaving as the evidences of their nrotraoted toil these vertical projections, which, but for their immensity, might as readily be mis taken i or worts ot art as of nature. Their smooth sides, uniform width and height, and great length, considered in connection with the causes which had wrought their insula tion, excited our wonder and admiration. They were all the more curious because of their dissimilarity to any other striking ob jects in natural scenery that we had ever seen or heard of. In future years, when the won ders of the Yellowstone are incorporated into the family of fashionable resorts, there will be few of its attractions surpassing in inte rest this marvellous freak of the elements. For some reason, best understood by himself, one of our companions gave to these rocks the name of the "Devil's Slide." The Great Falls are at the head of one of the most remarkable canons in the world a gorge through volcanic ' rocks fifty miles long, and varying from one thousand to nearly five thousand feet in depth. In its descent through this wonderful chasm the river falls almost three thousand feet. At one point, where the passage has been worn through a mountain range, our hunters assured us it was more than a vertical mile in depth, and the river, broken into rapids and cascades, appeared no wider than a ribbon. The brain reels as we gaze into this profound and solemn solitude. We shrink from the dizzy verge appalled, glad to feel the solid earth under our feet, and venture no more, except with forms extended, and faces barely protruding over the edge of the precipice. The stillness is horrible. Down, down, down, we see the river attenuated to a thread, tossing its minia ture waves, and dashing, with puny strength, the massive walls which imprison it. All access to its margin is denied, and the dark gray rocks hold it in dismal shadow. Even the voice of its waters in their convulsive agony cannot be heard. Uncheered by plant or tthrub, obstructed with massive boulders and by jutting pointR, it rushes madly on its solitary course, deeper and deeper into the bowels of the rocky firmament. The solemn grandeur of the scene surpasses descrip tion. It must be seen to be felt. The sense of danger with which it impresses you is harrowing in the extreme. You feel the absence of sound, the oppression of absolute silence. If you could only hear that gurgling river, if you could see a living tree in the depth beneath you, if a bird would fly past, if the wind would move any object in the awful chasm, to break for a moment the solemn glance that reigns there, it would relieve that tension of the nerves which the scene has excited, and you would rise from your prostrate condition and thank God that He had permitted yon to gaze unharmed upon this majestic display of natural architecture. As it is. sympathizing in spirit with the deep gloom of the scene, you crawl from the dread ful verge, scared lest the firm rock give way beneath and precipitate you into the horrid gulf.
