Mr. Field visits Mr. Emmott onco or-twice each year, and Is in almost constant commnnicn- rlon with Ihe old gentleman. Mr. Kmuiett made his last appearance on the stage with the Al. G. Field Minstrels, and. tho memen- tos presented him during that season are the most cherished of all tho old gentleman's treiisures. At Dallas, Tex., Oct. Hi. 1800. the members of tho Al. G.
