From the story of "Punch and Judy," by
S. S. 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.

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.
