PERSONS OF THE DRAMA. Col. Delaney — A Government Clerk — Colonel by curtesy. Emma Delaney — Daughter of Col. Delaney — A true woman. Capt. Jack Smith[Footnote: 2Kb ]The strong individuality of this character may excuse a few introductory remarks: The "striking points" of the Captain are, a very red face, and very white hair, brushed up a la General Jackson — together with a peculiar enunciation — for example: his favorite expression, " I'll swallow my head! " he enunciates in the tone sometimes of a threat, sometimes of a dogged determination — and again, of a mere affirmation. Another very noted peculiarity with him is, a spasmodic fall, or jerk, of the under jaw, immediately preceding the word " swallow " — thereby indicating active preparations for carrying his threat into execution — which, fortunately for a large circle of devoted friends, has never yet come to pass. No reason has been assigned for this singular and repeated determination of the Captain's, unless it be the mere association of ideas — his head being in close proximity to his mouth. There is a gentlemen somewhere in Dickens's Novels, if I remember aright, who repeatedly threatens to eat (not swallow) his own head. As the Captain is of English pedigree, there may be some relationship between the two; and if so, the singular desire they manifest to dispose of their heads in so unusual and summary a manner may be attributed to a "family propensity." With this introduction, I beg leave to recommend the Captain to the kind consideration and polite attentions of the reader. — Ex-Captain and retired politician — An old "fogy." Tom Scott — Capt. Smith's body-servant — An ancient gentleman from Africa. Tonawaha[Footnote: 1Kb ]By way of apology for this gentleman's bad grammar, the reader is informed that he claims no relationship with that mongrel class usually represented on our stage, whose Anglo-Saxon proclivities are strikingly manifested by the miraculous fluency and propriety with which they speak our "King's English." — A live Indian Chief. John Sharker[Footnote: 1Kb ]This gentleman belongs to that class of much abused but indispensable personages in all dramas or novels, viz: Villains . It may be stated, however, for the honor of humanity, that Sharker is not a real individual entity, but a concentration of the bad points of different men, in one focus of rascality. — A Government Clerk — An unmitigated compound of rascality. Bill Sly — A Department Messenger — tool of Sharker's, and always "agreeable." Hon. Col. Cecille — Genuine Honorable, but bogus Colonel. Sharpsteel — Friend of Cecille — A wit. Noall — A gentleman who "knows all about it." Hon. Gen. Blane — Genuine Honorable, but bogus General. Hon. Col. De Courcey — Friend of Blane — Genuine Honorable but bogus Colonel. Mrs. Singleton — A dashing widow — "Fair," but neither "fat" nor "forty." Hon. Mrs. Bangs and Daughter — Verdant flowers from the backwoods. Attendant Surgeon — Company, &c.
